2024 Shenyou Continent 2
Madame Yan had little hope when she first heard Gu Chaoyan’s claims. Even if there was a way to repair Yan Wuji’s spiritual root, it would surely take time.

But against all odds…

It was all true…

Madame Yan felt a surge of respect and gratitude towards Gu Chaoyan.

“I have no idea where these rumors originated from. Wuji hasn’t been anywhere else for the past two days. He was merely playing with the young sword practitioner at the Yan Manor and sustained minor injuries. He took some medicinal pills to aid in his recovery. Deacon, there’s no need to lend credence to such baseless rumors. The Yan Family has not reported any of this, correct?” After Yan Wuji withdrew his spiritual root, he spoke with a relaxed expression, as if the imperial court and the deacon were simply making a fuss.

The deacon’s face turned grim.

Initially, this task had seemed inconsequential.

Other than the Apothecary, who was aware of Yan Wuji’s damaged spiritual root, the others had been sent to injure him and subsequently report back. It was all a formality.

He had anticipated going to the Second Prince to claim his reward.

But now, everything seemed awry.

It was a surefire plan, a guaranteed success, yet such a colossal mistake had occurred.

It was as if nothing had transpired before.

Yan Wuji’s spiritual root remained intact, and he appeared unharmed.

“I shall make my report promptly.” The deacon’s face darkened, no longer exuding the same arrogance as before.

He had no desire to linger a moment longer. With a swift departure, he left without delay.

The moment the deacon departed…

The Yan Family erupted into lively chatter.

Yan Lin and Madame Yan rushed to Yan Wuji. “Wuji, are you sure you are fine? Have you recovered your spiritual roots?”

“Mom, you saw it yourself. My spiritual root is intact.” Yan Wuji said straightforwardly.

Madame Yan was very sure.

He turned around and kowtowed to Gu Chaoyan.

Gu Chaoyan was just thinking about what was going to happen after the Yan Family, when Madame Yan’s sudden behavior startled her. What was going on?

Gu Chaoyan helped Madame Yan up. “Madame Yan, you are the senior member of the family, you can’t do that.”

“Lady Chaoyan, you are so kind to us!” Madame Yan said with a strong tone.

Gu Chaoyan started to feel helpless.

She wondered where Yan Wuji’s stubbornness came from – he must be from the same family as Madame Yan.

However….

Madame Yan was so interesting.

It was the same no matter where they were.

Her mother still remembered her kindness.

She was not afraid of her own maid.

And now, she was a person who could distinguish right from wrong.

No wonder Yan Wuji had such a temperament.

“We are a family, and we should help each other.” Gu Chaoyan said.

Madame Yan was startled.

They were a family, and they helped each other.
True…

She had been confused before.

But Yan Shuang did not blame her for what she said in front of Yan Shuang. She even tried her best to help them.

Speaking of Yan Shuang, Yan Shuang and Zhou Huaijin arrived.

They had wanted to use other methods to protect the Yan Family, but the Yan Family’s problem was solved.

“Since you are here, let’s talk about what we should do with the Yan Family.” Madame Yan turned to Yan Shuang and said.
