Chapter 17: Recognition of Ancestry
The next morning, Chu Yang shared his plans with Chu Feiling. Chu Feiling was worried that if Chu Yang's original identity were to be revealed, it would attract unnecessary trouble, and there would be those who would take advantage of it to strike at him.
At that moment, hearing Chu Yang's suggestion was precisely what he needed, and he readily agreed. Together with his wife, they discussed a plan: they would pretend to have accidentally discovered amethyst jade marrow during their trip to Zhong San, only to find out it was their son all along...
The family happily deliberated for half a day, finalizing the matter, and everyone felt relieved.
"Father, your complexion doesn't seem too good," Chu Yang then noticed that Chu Feiling's face looked a bit pale and his eyes were slightly red. He seemed a bit listless...
"Sigh... it's hard to explain," Chu Feiling wouldn't share his embarrassing matters with his son, brushing it off vaguely.
Yang Ruolan's face turned red as she glanced at Chu Feiling, feeling a bit awkward.
How could she not understand? Chu Feiling, in his prime, had been deprived of certain rights by her, and for the past eighteen years, he had never been involved with anyone...
Such a man was rare even in the entire Nine Heavens world, a truly responsible good man.
Not to mention his cultivation level and other aspects; just this alone was enough to earn anyone's admiration.
She thought: If only... it would not be a bad thing...
As she thought about it, her face turned even redder.
Seeing that his parents were suddenly shy, Chu Yang couldn't help but chuckle, making a suggestive expression and meaningfully said, "I understand... I understand..."
With two sharp knocks, both Chu Feiling and Yang Ruolan simultaneously gave him a playful flick on the head, simultaneously scolding, "You know what the heck!"
Chu Yang stumbled back from the hit.
At that moment, Old Master Chu had already sent someone to announce that a doctor had been invited and was on his way.
For several days, the old master had been coming and going frequently, showing his concern.
As for the doctors he brought, there were already more than ten, each hailed as 'divine doctors' locally, but over time, none had proven effective. The 'divine doctors' had all come in high spirits but left in disappointment, and Chu Feiling and his wife gradually lost hope.
Before long, the old master brought the doctors over. After examining Chu Yang, they ultimately left with no solutions.
The old master stayed behind, not speaking and simply sighed.
He was worried about the inheritance issue of the Chu family; this was a major concern!
Historically, noble families passed their heritage from the elder rather than the younger, to prevent infighting among brothers.
However, in Chu Feiling's generation, problems had arisen. Originally, Chu Feiling's abilities were more than sufficient to succeed as the patriarch, but he had mysteriously lost his biological son and had no other offspring since then.
This led to concerns of having no successor.
Moreover, since the loss of his son, Chu Feiling had been emotionally restrained, focusing solely on finding his son and comforting his wife, neglecting family affairs.
The old master, feeling helpless, had no choice but to let Chu Feilong take over.
Yet... unexpectedly, Chu Feilong turned out to be just as cunning as Chu Feiling, if not more so, managing the entire Chu family in an orderly manner, and surprisingly, it was thriving.
This made the old master ponder.
Over the years, it had become increasingly clear that Chu Feilong was establishing his position, yet now the eldest was suddenly finding his son…
This left the old master feeling ecstatic yet completely conflicted.
Seeing that this grandson had just awakened and already had a tussle with his second uncle, surprisingly gaining the upper hand… the old master began to think again.
This kid... is definitely not a compliant one.
If the position were passed to Chu Feilong, that guy would surely turn the entire Chu family upside down in a few years...
