Chapter 3104

This period of time was rare. Elder Yun seldom called back those from the side branches.

Yun Meng used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of food for Elder Yun. "Grandpa, no matter what, today is your birthday. I’ll borrow flowers to offer Buddha and wish you a happy birthday, health, and longevity."

"The old man is already seventy-eight, almost eighty. That’s long enough," Elder Yun chuckled. "In my remaining years, I only hope you all are well and happy."

Yun Meng smiled lightly. "My life will definitely be peaceful and happy. My sister’s life might have twists and turns, but in her heart, it is calm and willing. As for others, I don’t need to worry about them."

Hearing this, Elder Yun looked at Yun Meng. "Has something happened to your sister?"

"No," Yun Meng answered calmly. "My sister won’t be in trouble. She is just repaying a karmic debt that is close at hand. She will return in a few months. You can ask her yourself then."

Yan Xizhong interjected at this moment. "Actually, after this period, when Ms. Yun Ling returns, she will become a truly qualified Heavenly Master. The current suffering is merely a trial for her."

Elder Yun’s heart moved. He now understood that his eldest granddaughter was undergoing a tribulation of love.

"Become a truly qualified Heavenly Master?" Elder Yun asked tentatively.

Yan Xizhong glanced at Elder Yun. "The Yun family became Heavenly Masters because an ancestor accidentally obtained a drop of blood from a Yin Envoy of the Underworld. However, after several generations, this bloodline has become thinner. Without any accidents, this talent will disappear in the next generation. This is also one of the reasons why Yun Qi Chu’s talent is so poor."

Yan Xizhong continued, "The tribulation Ms. Yun Ling is experiencing is, to put it simply, purifying her bloodline. Once she passes this tribulation, her bloodline will be very pure. At least, future Yun family descendants will not have to worry about bloodline issues. There will always be someone with a suitable bloodline in each generation."

The First Soul was a fierce soul. By becoming her wife, Yun Ling merged with her Yin energy. Combined with the Taiyin energy she was absorbing now, this point was clear.

Therefore, when the First Soul and the Soul Child left, and Yun Ling returned, she would become a true Heavenly Master.

Plus her relationship with Yun Meng, she could still serve as the messenger between the Yin and Yang worlds.

"Moreover, even if Ms. Yun Ling does not marry or have children in the future, as long as she takes disciples and provides the method to activate the bloodline, this inheritance can continue."

Thinking of Yun Ling and the First Soul, Yan Xizhong understood that Yun Ling would likely not marry again after the First Soul left.

"Of course, Ms. Yun Ling has many ways to have children. Even without marriage, she can use in vitro fertilization. It is still the Yun family bloodline," Yan Xizhong said seriously. "However, in each generation, only one person can activate the Yun family bloodline. Once this person activates it, others will not have this opportunity or ability. Even if she dies, unless she recognizes a successor or blood relative, others cannot inherit this lineage."

Yan Xizhong looked at Elder Yun. "One powerful Heavenly Master is enough. Too many would waste resources."

After listening, Elder Yun looked deeply at Yan Xizhong. Yan Xizhong’s words were direct, and he understood them clearly.

Even if there were more Yun family members in the future, only one could inherit this bloodline. The others should just live as ordinary people.

Elder Yun smiled bitterly. He had to admit that Yan Xizhong’s view was actually very good. At least, one thing could be acknowledged: the Yun family bloodline would not decline, but it could not expand either.

"The profession of Heavenly Master exists to communicate between the Yin and Yang worlds, so there is no need for many," Yan Xizhong said, looking at Elder Yun. "Moreover, the character of such a person must be good."

In short, Yan Xizhong really looked down on Yun Qi Chu’s character.

Elder Yun smiled helplessly. "Anyway, it’s good that the Yun family has this inheritance."

Elder Yun had regrets. He regretted not meeting Yan Xizhong when he was young.

Do not think that Yun Ling becoming a Heavenly Master in the future is just luck. If Yan Xizhong did not exist, or if Yan Xizhong was not Yun Meng’s husband, Elder Yun believed that Yun Ling would absolutely not have such a great opportunity.

Elder Yun was right. If Yun Meng were not a member of the Yun family, Yan Xizhong would indeed not care about this matter.

There are not many Heavenly Masters in the human world, but that does not mean there are none. In fact, there are many people with better qualifications than the Yun family.

"However, Yun Meng’s qualifications have always been the best in our family. If you give Yun Ling good qualifications, what about Yun Meng?" Elder Yun asked.

Yan Xizhong raised her eyebrows slightly. "My wife does not need to be a Heavenly Master. As long as she wants to command the Yin and Yang paths, she can simply issue an order. Why make it so troublesome?"

Elder Yun paused. Yes, he almost forgot Yan Xizhong’s true identity.

Yun Meng heard this and smiled sweetly at Yan Xizhong. "I didn’t plan to be a Heavenly Master either. Anyway, being with you, every day is exciting enough."

Yan Xizhong also smiled at Yun Meng. Yun Meng quickly picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for her. She knew that Yan Xizhong actually liked sweet and sour food. "Try it. The sweet and sour pork ribs at home taste quite good."

Yan Xizhong picked it up and took a bite, nodding slightly. "It’s delicious, but I still think the ones you make are better."

"That’s right. Mine are love ribs. These are the real sweet and sour ribs," Yun Meng said proudly.

Actually, Yun Meng’s cooking skills were only average, but in Yan Xizhong’s heart, Yun Meng’s cooking was the best.

Seeing the interaction between the couple, Elder Yun had to admit that he was old. However, after hearing Yan Xizhong’s words today, he could rest assured about one thing: as long as Yun Qi Chu did not do anything stupid, Yan Xizhong would not cause trouble for Yun Qi Chu.

After spending a day with Elder Yun at the Yun family, Yun Meng and Yan Xizhong left.

Others did not know that Yun Meng had brought Yan Xizhong back to the Yun family old residence to celebrate Elder Yun’s birthday, so things were very peaceful here.

After Yun Meng and Yan Xizhong returned, they lived peacefully for another three months. Then, the two entered the mountains. This was mainly because seven months were almost up, so they had to wait for the birth of the Soul Child.

After all, this was the Yang world. Without Yan Xizhong’s protection, the Soul Child would be killed by the Heavenly Dao as soon as it was born.

The First Soul supported Yun Ling as they walked slowly on the balcony. When Yun Meng and Yan Xizhong arrived, they happened to see this harmonious and warm scene.

"Sister, Brother-in-law, we are here," Yun Meng greeted.

Yun Ling’s complexion was not very good. Although she had the Yuan Nourishing Pills given by Yan Xizhong, the closer it got to the end, the more spiritual energy the Soul Child absorbed, and the more tired the mother’s body became.
