Chapter 261 – Raising A Son In The Cultivation World (part 13)
Yuan Ru stayed above Su’s house for about half an hour before disappearing. She knew that it was too much.
But Su Wanrong was a little dissatisfied, didn’t she say she would be there for an hour? How did it pass so quickly? But it didn’t matter. The ignorant people have learned of this incident today. The Su family was under the protection of the immortals. The ancestors of the Su family really did have immortals, so the techniques were naturally taught by the ancestors of the immortals. As for the Su family, the reason why no one had achieved anything for so many years was because they lacked aptitude.
After a few days, she would find Ru’er again and ask Ru’er to find a suitable technique for Yuan Ye. After Yuan Ye was successful, she could claim credit from the Su family’s technique. At that time, the reputation of the Su family was bound to rise to a higher level and she would also benefit a lot.
After all, there were so many children in the Su family, and the only one who really stood out was her son. Wasn’t that what she was blessed with?
Su Wanrong saw the scene where she was admired and respected not long after, and smiled meaningfully.
Because of this incident, Su Wanrong’s status in the Su family had also increased a lot, and the compliments from her uncles and sisters made Su Wanrong a little overwhelmed. She drank a few more glasses.
After returning from Su family’s house, Su Wanrong was a little sullen. After telling the people around her to go to Lofty Purple Hall to send word of her return, she went back to her room to rest.
She lay down exhausted, but suddenly opened her eyes. No! There were traces of someone touching the bed. She wanted to get up and take a closer look, but she was very tired. She thought that maybe it was because the maids cleaned up the bed after she left today.
Thinking of this, Su Wanrong felt at ease again. Her exhaustion struck, she couldn’t stay awake any longer. She finally fell into a deep sleep.
It was night. Yuan Dao was alone in the study.
In front of Yuan Dao was an incense burner with three sticks of incense in it. There was also a sharp dagger.
Yuan Dao hesitated since it was blood from his heart. If there was a mistake and his hands shook, it would be fatal.
So, Yuan Dao was hesitating. He didn’t know if he should light this incense stick.
But after thinking about it, Yuan Dao still lit the incense. He pulled open the front of his clothes and picked up the dagger. If a woman could do it, then he should have the guts to do it too.
Yuan Dao closed his eyes and his hands were trembling, but he still couldn’t help himself.
Seeing that the incense was about to burn out, Yuan Dao gritted his teeth and stabbed gently! Yuan Dao finally understood what kind of pain this was. That Su Wanrong was able to pierce her heart several times to get blood. How cold and heartless was this woman?!
Seeing that the dagger was stained with blood, Yuan Dao quickly pulled out the dagger and dripped the blood on the incense. Then, he excitedly waited for Yuan Ru to appear.
But until the incense burnt out, the person who Yuan Dao was expecting never showed up.
Yuan Dao looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. He thought it was because of the incense, so he quickly picked up another three sticks of incense, lit it, and squeezed the wound, squeezing out a drop of blood and dripping it on the incense.
It was still useless!
Impossible! This was impossible!
Yuan Dao seemed to be insane. He lit all the remaining incense, and then dripped blood on them. It still did not work!
Seeing that the only three sticks of incense were about to burn out, Yuan Dao suddenly calmed down. This incense was handed down by the ancestors of the Su family, and probably only the blood of the descendants of the Su family would be useful.
Yuan Dao thought of this and quickly extinguished the remaining incense. Would the Su family’s descendants go to find Su Wanrong? No, he couldn’t let her know.
Yuan Lan and Yuan Ye were descendants of the Su family! Their heart’s blood must have worked.
Yuan Dao endured the pain in his heart and quickly applied medicine to the wound. Some white medicine was sprinkled on the wound as if it were worthless. Then, he wrapped it up neatly.
Finally, I cherished the remaining incense and put it away.
At this moment, Yuan Dao regretted it again. He shouldn’t have been so crazy to waste so many opportunities in vain. Now, only these three half-burned incense sticks were left. He had to think carefully about what he would ask for when he saw Yuan Ru.
As for the blood of the heart, there were ways.
He was afraid that Su Wanrong might notice, so Yuan Dao went directly to West Garden from behind the study. He dipped some medicine in Su Wanrong’s water. Su Wanrong was thirsty at night, so she drank the tea and fell asleep again, groggy.
On the second day, Su Wanrong was still sleeping. Yuan Dao ordered people not to disturb her. After that, he ordered Yuan Lan to the study, pretending to ask her about her homework. He put medicine in the milk that Yuan Lan was drinking, thus knocking her unconscious, and took the opportunity to stab her. He took Yuan Lan’s heart blood. He didn’t care about giving Yuan Lan medicine.
He couldn’t wait to ignite the remaining incense. He dripped Yuan Lan’s blood on it.
Then, he anxiously and excitedly waited.
But as time passed by, the person who Yuan Dao was expecting never came, all the way until the incense burned out again.
Yuan Dao didn’t understand what went wrong. The incense was real and he used blood from the heart. Why couldn’t he summon Yuan Ru?! Could it be that in Yuan Ru’s heart, her father had no weight at all?
Yuan Dao smashed all the things on the table in a fit of anger. When the outsiders heard the movement, they didn’t dare to come in, so they just called out at the door, “Master!”
“Get out of here! Get out!” Yuan Dao roared angrily.
One person near him was nothing more than a wet nurse who followed Yuan Lan. She served Mother Yuan, and so Yuan Dao had to give her some face. When she heard such a big movement in the house and that Yuan Lan didn’t make any movement, she was a little anxious. She quickly went to the window and gently opened the door, wanting to see what was going on inside.
The result was a terrifying scene.
Yuan Lan was lying on the couch. Her clothes were open, revealing her pale skin.
The maids were so scared that their faces turned pale, and without thinking much, they left one person here to check the situation. The others rushed to Lofty Purple Hall to inform Mother Yuan.
There were speculations in their hearts. How could the master do such a filthy and unethical thing when he seemed to be sane? The young miss was the master’s biological daughter! This person was really two-faced!
When Mother Yuan came over, trembling, Yuan Dao had already stabilised his emotions, put medicine on Yuan Lan’s wound, tidied up her clothes, covered her with a quilt, and made it look like she was just asleep.
“Mother, why are you here?” Yuan Dao glanced at everyone before supporting Mother Yuan.
After Mother Yuan went in, she was relieved to see Yuan Lan sleeping sweetly and looking fine. On the contrary, Yuan Dao’s face was a little bad. “What were you doing in the study just now? Why was it so noisy?”
“Your son asked Lan’er about her homework, but she said she was too tired and wanted to rest for a while. While your son was annoyed, your son smashed the teacup. But seeing that Lan’er was really sleepy, your son didn’t want anyone to come in to disturb Lan’er. So others were not allowed to come in,” Yuan Dao explained.
Mother Yuan was relieved. “It’s okay. They came running in a panic, so I thought something big happened.”
Yuan Dao smiled. “What could go wrong in our own home?” But his eyes were fixed on those wet nurses. He stared so intently at them that they couldn’t stand the pressure. They lowered their heads and didn’t dare to make a sound.
Mother Yuan nodded and said, “This is the study. It’s not convenient for Lan’er to sleep here. Let the maids take her back to her own room to rest! I don’t know what happened today. Everyone is so sleepy. Lan’er fell asleep, and her mother hasn’t woken up yet.”
“Isn’t that the case when you’re tired in spring and autumn?” Yuan Dao said with a smile.
Mother Yuan asked the wet nurses to take Yuan Lan away.
After returning to the room, the maids changed Yuan Lan’s clothes and wanted to check for any traces on Yuan Lan’s body to confirm their guesses. They were surprised to find that there was a pinhole-sized hole in Yuan Lan’s heart, and there were no traces of anything else.
What was this?
The maids looked at each other.
“Forget it. It is better for us to keep out of the affairs of the big families. Be careful. Don’t talk nonsense outside. Don’t forget, our families are in the house,” said an older nanny.
The rest of the wet nurses agreed with it. They immediately suppressed all the thoughts in their hearts.
That’s all. Didn’t all wealthy families have a few filthy secrets like this? They wouldn’t care about their business and wouldn’t worry about this gossip.
The secret medicine Yuan Dao gave to Su Wanrong and Yuan Lan was carefully prepared by him. After taking it, people who woke up after would forget what happened before. So, Yuan Dao was not worried.
He just wondered why Su Wanrong could summon Yuan Ru, but he couldn’t! But he understood one thing from it, that was that Su Wanrong and the children she gave birth to, and he and the Yuan family, were not of one mind. He needed to be vigilant.
In fact, the soul-seeking incense worked, but Yuan Ru was found out by the teachers of Declaring Clouds Sect because she had already visited the mortal world several times. Fortunately, her master treated her well and pleaded for her, so they only imprisoned her for 30 years. It was all to avoid being disturbed by the mundane world so she could practice with peace of mind.
Yuan Ru was shocked that she couldn’t go out for 30 years. If something happened to her mother, what should she do? But she didn’t dare to disobey her teacher’s sect, so she could only accept it.
When the soul-seeking incense was lit, Yuan Ru reacted like this. She also felt that the person who burned the incense was not her mother. She was very anxious. She didn’t know what happened. However, outside the cave where she lived was enchanted by her master. She couldn’t get out at all.
Fortunately, Yuan Ru didn’t feel the soul-seeking incense again, so she was finally relieved. If her mother was really in a hurry and couldn’t see her once, she would definitely ignite the soul-seeking incense again. In this way, her mother’s matter was probably not a big deal. It was probably another trivial matter.
As she thought about it like this, she started to cultivate with peace of mind. For cultivators, thirty years would soon pass. Since she couldn’t get out, it was better to take this opportunity to cultivate well. If she could make some progress, her master would be happy and maybe she could go back to visit often.
Su Wanrong slept until that night. When she woke up, she was still drowsy. She forced herself to sit up from the bed, supported her head, and groaned.
The maids heard the sound and came in. “Madam, are you awake?”
“How long have I slept? What time is it now? Where’s my lord?” Su Wanrong asked, holding her head.
“Madam, you have slept for a day and a night. The master is resting in the study,” the maid said respectfully.
“I’ve slept for so long? My head hurts so much. Go and get me a doctor,” Su Wanrong said as she held her head.
The maids looked at each other before one said, “Yes, this servant will go.”
