Yun Jiu appeared calm on the surface, but inside, she felt as if her heart had been gently scratched by a kitten's paw. What kind of extraordinary treasure was hidden within the Yun Family that could make her usually composed grandfather so anxious, even causing him to lose his composure in front of her?
Inside her mind, two little figures began a fierce argument.
The little angel with wings looked righteous and said, "Xiao Jiu, you must be a person of integrity and uphold your principles! The Yun Family has raised you; how can you covet their treasures? That's wrong!"
Meanwhile, the little devil with horns grinned mischievously, "Xiao Jiu, aren't treasures meant to be used? You're part of the Yun Family too; why shouldn't those treasures be for you? Besides, you're so clever—only you can make those treasures reach their full potential!"
Yun Jiu bit her lip in frustration. She knew she shouldn't think this way. The Yun Family had provided for her original self; she couldn't be ungrateful. Fine, she would let go of those treasures!
She comforted herself, thinking that if one door closed, another would open. Once she became stronger, her first task would be to gather treasures from around the world. Her first stop would be that white scoundrel's family, and she would take all their treasures!
At that moment, Yun Baichen was still lost in his thoughts and seemed uninterested in pursuing what had happened with Yun Jiu earlier. He waved his hand wearily and said, "Xiao Jiu, I've managed to suppress this matter for you. I hope what you just said is true. You can go back now."
A heavy weight finally lifted from Yun Jiu's heart. She knew she had successfully diverted attention away from herself. That Pretty Boy had done a good deed this time.
Just as she stood up and prepared to make her escape, Butler Ji suddenly walked in from outside. He leaned close to Yun Baichen's ear and whispered a few words. Yun Jiu's ears perked up as she vaguely caught phrases like "Second Young Master" and "beaten."
Yun Baichen's expression changed several times in an instant as he looked deeply at Yun Jiu. "Xiao Jiu, did you hit Chu Er?"
Yun Jiu put on an innocent expression and blinked at him. "Grandfather, Second Brother has been extorting me! I couldn't take it anymore this time! Don't worry; I was very skilled about it—there won't be any visible injuries."
Yun Baichen's face stiffened. Wasn't the point supposed to be the latter part? However, that brat Yun Chen really did deserve a lesson! At least if there were no visible injuries, Second Brother wouldn't have an excuse to cause trouble.
He furrowed his brow and asked, "Why can't you see any external injuries? How did you manage that?"
Yun Jiu chuckled, "Grandfather, I didn't hit him on the face; I targeted the meatier parts. Besides, I even pressed a few of his acupoints at the end, leaving him unable to voice his suffering. Even if you called a Physician, they wouldn't find anything!"
"Pressing acupoints? What kind of technique is that?" Yun Baichen asked, puzzled. He had never heard of such a method before.
Yun Jiu replied earnestly, "Grandfather, you know I don't have any spiritual power. I came up with this acupoint pressing technique when I was bored. The results are... decent!"
Yun Baichen looked at her skeptically. "Xiao Jiu, what did you grab during your coming-of-age ceremony?" he suddenly inquired.
Yun Jiu's eyes darkened; did her grandfather doubt her identity? After pondering for a moment, she decided to tell the truth: "Grandfather, I was so young back then; how could I remember what I grabbed?! However, my mother once told me that I grabbed a seed."
As she spoke, tears began to stream down her face, and she started to wail loudly, "Wah wah, Mother! I miss you so much! Boo hoo, Father! I miss you too! How could you be so cruel, leaving Xiao Jiu all alone in this world, all lonely and desolate..."
Seeing her cry so sorrowfully left Yun Baichen at a loss for words. He did have some doubts about whether Yun Jiu was an imposter because her transformation was too drastic! However, the current Xiao Jiu could even recall what she had grabbed during her ceremony; she couldn't possibly be fake!
He sighed and said, "Xiao Jiu, stop crying! Grandfather believes you!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Jiu immediately ceased her tears. She lifted her head and revealed a look of affection. "Grandfather, I know you think I've changed too much. That's because that scoundrel caused me to bump my head on a rock. When I woke up, everything felt much clearer in my mind. Many things that puzzled me before suddenly made sense! Grandfather, I will take good care of you from now on!"
