After breakfast, Yun Jinnian took Hemei and Henuan to visit Han Xuzi’s study.
Inside the study, Mrs. Han was softly speaking to Han Xuzi about the situation over the past year.
At first, it was indeed difficult.
But as time passed, things gradually got better, and with the company of her son and daughter, she woke from her stupor.
Eating Snow Lotus every day, it would be strange if her health didn’t improve.
Plus, with the scenery within the Moonwatching Sect being peerless, serene, and detached from worldly strife, and the respect Yun Jinnian had from everyone from top to bottom, her years of guilt slowly faded and she started to feel normal again.
Yun Jinnian stood at the door listening, her heart calm and at ease. Yet this year, her grievances and hatred had been buried even deeper.
Her worldview had broadened; competing in the backhouse was not true capability.
She stepped into the study, "Grandfather, mother!"
"Jinnian has arrived. Have you had breakfast?" Han Xuzi asked with gentle affection.
"Then sit down, let’s talk!"
Yun Jinnian sat next to Mrs. Han, and after the maid brought the tea and gave Mrs. Han her teacup,
Mrs. Han accepted it with a smile.
Only then did Yun Jinnian begin to drink her tea.
Han Xuzi motioned for Han Zhong to come in.
"Han Zhong, tell us!"
Han Zhong relayed all the information he had gathered.
When he mentioned that a woman named Granny Jin had appeared by Xu Xinmo’s side, his brow furrowed slightly, "What is the origin of this Granny Jin?"
"We have already sent someone to investigate, but it seems this Granny Jin knows some Daoist magic!"
Yun Jinnian’s hand paused slightly, "Some Daoist magic?"
Yun Jinnian suddenly laughed out loud, "It’s like finding something without even searching, as if effortless after such extensive efforts. I sent people everywhere looking for her, but unexpectedly, she appeared on her own!"
Han Xuzi and Mrs. Han were astonished.
Han Tianci entered the study, "Sister, who did you find?"
"The person who switched my destiny!"
She had not believed it initially, but the Law Master had spoken with absolute certainty.
And after she was reborn and returned to her ten-year-old self, she believed him.
Han Xuzi then stood up, "Jinnian, explain clearly!"
His expression was very serious.
Having wandered the jianghu for many years, he too was aware of certain things.
There were indeed some Daoist practitioners in the jianghu who had the ability to change one’s fate, so as soon as Yun Jinnian mentioned it, he believed her.
Mrs. Han too was anxious, her heart raised as she looked intently at Yun Jinnian.
"Originally in Nanjiang, when the Law Master saw me, he said I was destined for greatness, but my destiny had been partly stolen from me. He told me to seek a highly accomplished Daoist to help me swap it back. So, for the past year and more, I have been sending people to search for such a person. However, there are many in this world who are merely pretenders, and few indeed possess genuine ability!"
Han Xuzi nodded, "That Law Master..."
"The Law Master is old. If he were to lose his life in the process of swapping my fate, I would rather continue as I am now!"
She was unwilling to be loved and cherished by the Old Madam Yun, for by seeing what Yun’s beloved Xu Xinmo turned into, it was clear how muddled, selfish, and self-centered the old lady was.
"Leave the matter of finding this person to me. Back in the day, I did know someone, and I obtained some fortuitous encounters through him. I will go look for him!"
Even if he was unwilling to come out of seclusion, his disciples probably had some ability too.
The Law Master was indeed getting on in years.
"By the way, how old is the Law Master now?"
"Over a hundred and sixty years old!"
Han Xuzi was momentarily stunned, "That is indeed a ripe old age!"
Someone who was over a hundred and sixty years old surely had extraordinary life experiences and wisdom. Tianci was indeed fortunate to have received his meticulous guidance; it was a blessing Tianci must have cultivated over several lifetimes.
Thinking of Granny Jin by Xu Xinmo’s side, Han Xuzi spoke with a heavy tone, "Now that we know the person is in the Yun Residence, both of you must be extremely cautious when you return!"
