Chapter 323 Fleeting Changes
Yang Nianqing set up the formation and channeled spiritual power into the last array eye. The formation was completed and emitted a golden light, and a beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping Xu Jiahao.

When everyone saw the beam of light envelop Xu Jiahao, black and red aura emanated from his body, an aura that made people instinctively feel uncomfortable.

Yang Nianqing sat cross-legged in front of the formation, quietly waiting for the formation to deplete the power of the spell.

When Xu Jiahao's aura ceased to emanate, Yang Nianqing channeled spiritual energy into the array once more. The array shone with golden light, and she formed hand seals while silently reciting the Nine Syllable Mantra.

"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing!" As the last word fell, Yang Nianqing shouted, "Break!"

As soon as he spoke, the talismans around Xu Jiahao burst open, and the light of the array dimmed.

At the same time, in the emergency room of the hospital, the blood-stained bracelet on Xu Daiqing's wrist suddenly exploded with a loud bang, startling the doctors and nurses. Fortunately, no one was injured because they were far away.

The nurse was puzzled as to why the bracelet had exploded for no apparent reason. But the next moment, she saw the medical equipment and exclaimed with delight, "The patient's heart rate and blood pressure have returned to normal!"

Everyone looked at the equipment and saw that Xu Daiqing had stopped vomiting blood and her body temperature was gradually returning to normal. The doctors and nurses all breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's really strange." The group discussed among themselves. It was the first time they had ever seen such a peculiar case. The patient was vomiting blood for no reason and then getting better for no reason. The bracelet would also explode for no reason. It was really too strange.

Yang Nianqing stepped forward and cast the detection spell again. After a while, she withdrew her hand. The spell on Xu Jiahao had now been broken, and the connection was severed. She could no longer detect the thing controlling him. The medium should be damaged, and he would be fine.

Seeing that the array was no longer emitting light, Yang Nianqing nodded again, and then the others gathered around.

With tears in her eyes, Gu Rongrong looked at Xu Jiahao with heartache, gently helped him up from the ground, and let him lean against her lap. Then she looked at Yang Nianqing with concern, "Qingqing, are you alright? What happened? How could your father, Xu Jiahao, be like this?"

Xu Jiahao's attitude has always been very disappointing to her. Xu Daiqing has repeatedly provoked her, clearly not wanting her Qingqing to return to the Xu family. After she explained the truth, there was no reaction. He didn't mention the Yang family at all, only saying that she was innocent and that the fault was not hers. Xu Jiahao felt sorry for Xu Daiqing and fantasized that her Qingqing could get along peacefully with Xu Daiqing, and that her own daughter would have to be subordinate to Xu Daiqing as the second young lady of the Xu family.

Xu Daiqing is innocent, but how innocent is her Qingqing? She is too. If she weren't Xu Daiqing's biological mother, why would they have been separated for so many years? How could her Qingqing have suffered so much, to the point of attempting suicide? How could Xu Jiahao be worthy of being her daughter's father with such behavior? How could she dare let Qingqing know that her father is like this?

“He was under a spell, and his will tried to break free from its control, causing a backlash. This spell was very powerful; a slight mistake would have killed him. Now that the spell has been broken, he's fine. This spell was meant to control him and might have drastically changed his personality. Do you remember when he started acting like someone else?” Yang Nianqing explained. She hadn't actually come into contact with the spell, nor had she seen its medium, so she didn't really understand it. The information she had only obtained from the detection spell was limited to that.

Gu Rongrong and the others thought about it and found nothing unusual. It was just that Xu Jiahao's attitude towards Yang Nianqing was a bit hard for them to accept. But from Xu Jiahao's perspective, he had doted on Xu Daiqing for many years, so it was normal for him to be reluctant to part with this daughter.

But is this something that can be said?

From what they knew, although Yang Nianqing only graduated from junior high school, she was exceptionally capable and kind-hearted. Before they even saw her, she had grown into a very outstanding person, enough to make them all proud. However, due to the various forms of oppression, suppression, and brainwashing by the Yang family, their Qingqing had become somewhat sensitive. They even learned from Fan Ruichen that Yang Nianqing was world-weary and had suicidal thoughts.

How could they let Yang Nianqing know what Xu Jiahao was thinking? How could they bear to hurt their Qingqing?

Understanding everyone's hesitation, Yang Nianqing didn't mince words and said, "He just said that Xu Daiqing is my sister. Mom, is that why you haven't mentioned him before?"

Gu Rongrong was afraid that her daughter wouldn't accept these family members, so she kept compromising and didn't force her to meet them. She was considerate of her feelings and waited for her to accept it. She only told her that her maternal grandparents liked her very much and were looking forward to seeing her. She introduced them to her one by one with photos and brought her gifts they had prepared. However, she never mentioned Xu Jiahao, nor did she show her any photos of him. Her daughter also never actively searched for Xu Jiahao. She never expected that the reunion would be like this.

I never expected my first visit to the Gu family would be like this.

"What!" Gu Rongrong exclaimed in surprise, her anger rising. Seeing that Xu Jiahao's complexion had returned to normal, she pushed him away.

Xu Jiahao's head hit the ground with a dull thud. Fortunately, it was a lawn, so he didn't suffer a head injury, but he must have been in a lot of pain, as his brows furrowed even in his unconscious state.

Yang Nianqing was taken aback for a moment, then silently looked at his head. This shouldn't be a big deal, right?

"Qingqing, don't worry about him, his wishes don't matter! You are your mother's only daughter, you don't have any older sisters!" Gu Rongrong said anxiously, holding her hand tightly.

Zheng Xiu affectionately stroked Yang Nianqing's head and said, "Child, don't take your father's words to heart. You are Rongrong's only biological daughter, the only daughter of the Xu family, and the only eldest daughter of the Gu family! Xu Daiqing should go back to the Yang family!"

Not knowing the truth at first, she thought it was just a simple case of babies being switched at birth. As the daughter of the Xu family, she, the cousin of the Gu family, naturally couldn't be left to wander outside. It didn't matter that Xu Daiqing had become an adopted daughter instead of her biological daughter. She thought that if they found their real Qingqing, the two could live peacefully together. But after learning the truth, she realized that they had been too naive. Xu Daiqing and their Qingqing could never live peacefully together. Although Xu Daiqing hadn't committed the crime back then, she was always the beneficiary; she was the original sin!
If Xu Daiqing still occupies Qingqing's place, where does that leave Qingqing? Where does that leave the Gu family? If Xu Jiahao really wants to do this, then his relationship with Rongrong and Qingqing will come to an end!
She absolutely would not allow her family lineage to be humiliated like this! Zheng Xiu's eyes were resolute.

They were already being very kind by simply letting Xu Daiqing return to her rightful place. If Xu Daiqing were a good person, she wouldn't do anything to compete with Qingqing. They had raised Xu Daiqing for 19 years, and they didn't expect her to have the same character as their Qingqing. They only hoped that the girl would have some principles and not disappoint them too much!
Gu Xiyuan felt the same way. He patted Yang Nianqing on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Your grandma is right. Grandpa thinks that Xu Jiahao dares to say such things. We don't care about his family. You are the eldest daughter of the Gu family."

His granddaughter was his savior, even though the medicine she gave him that time smelled a little bit bad.

He said that people of the Gu family bloodline shouldn't be so petty. It turns out that Xu Daiqing has no relation to their family at all; it's just that their Qingqing has suffered.

He won't let the Yang family off the hook.

The two elderly people's attitude warmed Yang Nianqing's heart. This life has really been different. Indeed, you have to experience everything yourself. Yang Nianqing smiled with relief.

Actually, after she realized what had happened, she wasn't so angry. Everyone has the right to make their own choices; she had just been too stubborn in the past.

After the servants helped Xu Jiahao to rest, the two elderly people pulled Yang Nianqing aside to chat. They felt they had endless things to say to Yang Nianqing, as if they wanted to make up for the lost 19 years all at once.

As they talked, they began to discuss how Yang Nianqing had learned all these Taoist arts.

This is quite a sad story. Life is unpredictable, and things can change in a thousand years. The Gu family were originally descendants of immortals and the divine beast phoenix, but now their lineage has been broken. They know no magic and have no spiritual energy.

The seemingly respectable Qingxuan Sect still seems to have a considerable reputation today, as does the Beast Taming Sect, which has a grudge against Gu Lang. They were almost wiped out by their ancestor back then, but now they have risen again like an unkillable cockroach. There are even direct descendants of the Bei family still living there. The behavior of this group is as despicable as their ancestors!
None of them expected Yang Nianqing to have such an opportunity; it was truly a blessing from their ancestors!
Gu Xiyuan sighed. Families compete on their foundation and heritage. Although the Gu family is a first-class family, its heritage has been interrupted in many ways. If it weren't for the fact that most members of the Gu family are born with superpowers and that generations of family members have been loyal to the country and made outstanding contributions, they would probably have fallen out of the list of aristocratic families.
