Lin Caisang reiterated once again.
According to the jade mirror, a doppelgänger could not be formed if she wished for it casually. After forming this golden pearl, she understood that the advice given by the jade mirror was very sensible.
In a short span of time, her physical body would not endure another creation of a doppelgänger.
Therefore, this golden pearl doppelgänger must only be used at the most suitable moment. It mustn’t be wasted recklessly.
"Also, you must not allow anyone other than yourself to know the existence of this jade token," she instructed.
"Does that include my Master?" Zhong You asked.
"Yes, your master as well!" Lin Caisang said with undeniable certainty.
If Ya Molian were to know about this, the effort in creating the golden pearl doppelgänger would have been in vain. She would rather accompany Ya Molian herself.
"Also, before shattering this jade token, it would be best to engrave your current location on it. Thus, it would be easier for me to locate you," she advised once more.
"Alright, I understand," Zhong You responded.
Zhong You nodded, found a red string, strung the golden pearl doppelgänger onto it, and hung it around his neck.
In Ya Village, Ya Molian visited the families of Ya Clan and Lin Clan. He met with Clan Chief Lin and several elders, and explained his situation.
In essence, his long-lost family had found him, and they wanted him to return home and recognize his ancestry. He was unsure of how long he would be gone, so he asked them to take care of Lin Caisang in his absence.
Afterward, he went to the Lin Family and conveyed the same message to Lin Laogeng and Lu Qiubo, promising that he would not let Lin Caisang down.
While Lin Laogeng harbored some concerns, he understood that Ya Molian’s family had sought him out. He couldn’t prevent Ya Molian from returning to his own home and seeing his birth parents, just for the sake of his granddaughter, could he?
This was certainly not something he would consider doing.
"Molian, even though your relatives have found you, you’ve been away from them for many years. Everything is still unknown, so you mustn’t trust others too readily and endanger yourself," Lin Laogeng cautioned Ya Molian.
To make the situation seem believable, Ya Molian had his subordinate disguised as a member of a wealthy family come to his home. Thus, everyone in Ya Village knew that Ya Molian came from wealth, which made his departure more believable.
"I understand, Grandpa," Ya Molian nodded.
"Sangsang is still atop Manghuang Mountain. You haven’t told her about this, have you? Go and let her know," Lin Laogeng told him.
Ya Molian got up, gave a nod to Lin Laogeng, and headed to Manghuang Mountain.
On Manghuang Mountain, Lin Caisang had packed everything that Ya Molian and his companions needed to take with them and was waiting for him.
Indeed, not long after, she saw them coming up the mountain. She quickly walked over, and looked up at Ya Molian.
"I’ve prepared all the necessary items for you. Don’t skimp on using them. As for Zhong You, he doesn’t have any martial arts skills, so you must protect him. Otherwise, I won’t be able to face his father," she reminded him.
The main point was she wanted Zhong You to keep an eye on Ya Molian so he wouldn’t get into danger without her knowledge.
"Sure," Ya Molian responded.
Remembering that Zhong You would be leaving with him, he continued to address Lin Caisang.
"Before we leave Yejun, I will drop by Zhong You’s house to inform his father," Ya Molian said.
"That’s best, as he’s leaving with you after all, he should let his family know," Lin Caisang agreed, nodding.
