Deacon Cai pushed the door open and walked in, full of grief and indignation.
On the old bed, a woman with a pale face was lying. Her breathing was weak, and the light in her eyes was dim.
Standing beside the woman and taking care of her was an extremely young man who looked no more than 20 years old.
At this moment, the door of their house was suddenly pushed open, and an unfamiliar old man came in. Both of them looked at Deacon Cai with some surprise and vigilance.
"Who are you? Why did you break into my house? "The young man questioned.
Deacon Cai's face stiffened.
Because the weak woman lying on the bed with a pale and worried face was not his Dao Companion, Si Yun.
Deacon Cai turned to look at Lu Qingshan, who had just come in after sending away the yellow-clothed rogue cultivator.
His eyes were full of questioning.
Lu Qingshan did not know the details.
But after glancing at the appearance of the woman and the young man on the bed, Lu Qingshan roughly guessed the specific situation.
So in the face of Deacon Cai's questioning eyes, Lu Qingshan was not in a hurry to explain.
Lu Qingshan pointed at Deacon Cai and politely asked the woman on the bed, "I'm really sorry to disturb you so abruptly. This is Si Yun's family. I wonder if you two know Si Yun …"
Hearing this, the woman on the bed struggled to get up from the bed.
Cai HSing-chao hurriedly supported his mother, "Mother, be careful!"
"I'm Shi Youling. What's the relationship between this senior and my mother-in-law?"
"Mother-In-Law?" Deacon Cai was stunned.
Lu Qingshan understood and pointed at Cai HSing-chao, who was in a daze, and said to Deacon Cai, "This is your grandson."
…
A Foundation Establishment cultivator had a lifespan of 200 years. Deacon Cai, who had built his Dao Foundation, was already nearing the end of his life. His Dao partner had not built her Dao Foundation, so how could she live until now?
Many years ago, Si Yun had already exhausted her lifespan and passed away.
And the child that Si Yun was pregnant with when she lived in seclusion in Ziyang Town was Cai HSing-chao's father.
It had been a long time since that incident, and Deacon Cai's son had already grown up. He had a family, a wife, and children.
Shi Youling was the dao companion of Deacon Cai's son, which meant that she was Deacon Cai's daughter-in-law.
Those closely involved could not see clearly.
Deacon Cai was so anxious that he didn't react in time.
However, he was a shrewd person. After hearing what Lu Qingshan said, he immediately figured out the crux of the matter.
"This is your mother-in-law's Dao companion." Lu Qingshan glanced at Shi Youling and explained.
Shi Youling was startled. Although she had already faintly guessed this, after receiving confirmation, great waves still surged in her heart.
Her mother-in-law had come to Zi Yang Town pregnant back then and had worked hard to raise her husband.
She had always respected her mother-in-law.
But according to her husband, every time he asked his grandmother who his father was, his grandmother would say that his father had already died in the mouth of a demonic beast.
Now, her father-in-law, who died in the mouth of a demonic beast according to her mother-in-law, suddenly appeared again. Shi Youling couldn't help but be shocked.
However, Shi Youling believed Lu Qingshan's words.
In order to suppress the Crimson Pearl Snake's poison in her body, their family could be said to be poor now. What was the benefit of pretending to be her father-in-law?
"Do you have any keepsakes that can be used to prove your identity?" Lu Qingshan asked.
Even if they were seventy to eighty percent convinced in their hearts, how could they miss out on the most important step of recognizing relatives — exchanging keepsakes?
Shi Youling reacted quickly. She immediately pulled Cai HSing-chao's hand and pulled up his sleeve.
On Cai HSing-chao's wrist was a crystal clear and exquisite jade bracelet. "This is the jade bracelet magic tool left behind by my mother-in-law …"
Deacon Cai's eyes were red. "Yun 'er …"
Deacon Cai slowly stretched out his left hand and rolled up his sleeve. On his withered wrist was a similar jade bracelet magic tool.
This was the token of their love at the beginning.
Everything was clear.
Shi Youling hurriedly bowed to Deacon Cai. "Father-in-law …"
Seeing Cai HSing-chao's dumbstruck expression, Shi Youling pulled Cai HSing-chao's sleeve and said, "This is your grandfather … Come and greet your grandfather."
Cai HSing-chao's expression was dull. Under Shi Youling's urging, he was like a marionette, squeezing out the two words "grandfather" with difficulty from his mouth.
Deacon Cai looked at Cai HSing-chao's face, which was somewhat similar to his own when he was young. He raised his arm and reached forward. His hands were trembling, and he only touched Cai HSing-chao's hand a few times.
"Good boy, good boy … I'm sorry …" The old Deacon Cai held Cai HSing-chao's hand tightly with his rough palm. Finally, he couldn't help but shed tears.
Cai Heng, who belonged to the [Discipline Department] of Zhenjiang City, supervised and suppressed cultivators who violated the ban of Da Xia Kingdom.
But because of his duty, his Taoist companion's family was tragically destroyed.
This was a painful memory in his heart that he could never erase.
Looking at Cai HSing-chao in front of him, his eyes were full of love and guilt. He opened his mouth to say something, but his chest heaved and he couldn't speak.
"Grandfather, can you save my mother?" Cai HSing-chao suddenly thought of something. He looked at Deacon Cai with eyes full of pleading and hope.
"It's just a little Crimson Pearl Snake poison. It's not difficult to cure!" At this moment, Deacon Cai's tone revealed a bit of high spirits. "Come back to Zhenjiang City with me. Your mother's poison, I will definitely cure her."
Crimson Pearl Snake, a first-grade demonic beast, was very poisonous.
If a Qi Refining cultivator was poisoned by the Crimson Pearl Snake poison, they could only rely on elixirs to barely suppress the snake poison. It was very difficult to completely remove the poison!
However, for Deacon Cai, with his current cultivation and status, it was indeed not a difficult task to detoxify this poison, although it was not easy to detoxify it.
.....
Deacon Cai acted quickly to detoxify Shi Youling and treat her injuries.
"This is?!" Cai HSing-chao supported his mother. Looking at the fierce behemoth in front of him, he was a little nervous.
"This is Grandfather's demonic pet, the [Black-Feathered Eagle]. Help your mother up. We'll hurry back to Zhenjiang City to detoxify your mother."
The [Black-Feathered Eagle] was huge. Carrying four people didn't affect its flying speed at all.
Without much delay, the group quickly rushed back to Zhenjiang City.
.....
Inside the study.
"How did you know about this old man? And Little Chao and his mother, even I couldn't find any information about them. How did you find them?"
"I naturally have my methods." Lu Qingshan looked at ease. He didn't want to say more about this point.
— — How do you explain the cheating?
Deacon Cai was silent for a while, then opened his mouth again. "Since you don't want to say, I naturally won't force you. But no matter what, you saved Little Chao's mother's life."
The Crimson Pearl Snake poison in Shi Youling's body was very serious. If it was delayed for a few more days, the snake poison would enter her heart. Even the Golden Elixir Daoist would be powerless to save her.
In the previous life, the Sword Cultivator player probably finished the quest late. So when he found Cai HSing-chao, Shi Youling had already died because the snake poison had entered her heart. He only brought back Cai HSing-chao.
Now that Lu Qingshan had interfered, they were able to avoid the extremely time-consuming task of running around, saving them an extremely crucial amount of time. They were able to find them before Shi Youning's snake venom entered their hearts.
And because of this, they saved Shi Youling's life.
