Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

Even though they had never met Lin Tianya, nor had they ever heard of such a powerful ancestor in their family, they were certain that the person in front of them was one of their Lin family ancestors.

Lin Tianya immediately sensed that these five were indeed his descendants, all possessing his bloodline; it was impossible to fake it.

"Lin Heng pays respects to his ancestors." Lin Heng knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Tianya to perform the ancestral recognition ceremony.

As soon as he knelt down, Lin Du and the others naturally knelt down as well, for the person in front of them was their Lin family's true living ancestor.

Lin Tianya was naturally entitled to this great gift. Although he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as an ancestor, it could not be denied that without Lin Tianya, there would be no Lin family, and this was an unchangeable fact.

"Get up," Lin Tianya gestured.

"Alright, alright, congratulations Senior Lin on finding your descendants. Senior, this family probably has a lot to say. Our Wang family ancestor heard that you were coming to the Wang family and has already rushed over from the Nine Heavens Holy Land. He should be here soon. Why don't you go to the living room for a chat?" Wang Shanhe, the Wang family patriarch, suggested.

Lin Tianya glanced at Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun, then nodded.

"alright."

Lin Tianya and Wang Shanhe left first. After the Wang family left, Lin Heng turned his attention to the child in Ye Liuyun's arms.

"This, Aoxue, Liuyun, is this little girl your child?" Lin Heng stared at Xiao Qingxue with a look of surprise.

He couldn't believe that two women had actually conceived a child; he truly didn't understand how they had managed it.

Ye Liuyun smiled smugly.

"Grandpa, I told you back then that I would definitely find a way to continue the bloodline of our two families. Look, I've done it!" Ye Liuyun said with a grin.

Lin Du immediately glared at Ye Liuyun.

"Be serious, stop grinning. I get itchy fingers when I see you like this. You're really audacious, daring to keep something like this from us. What?!" Lin Du was about to hit someone.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue did act somewhat unfairly, so it's understandable that Lin Du and the others are angry.

"Alright, alright, it's already like this, what more do you want? Yun'er, can Grandma hold this little guy?" Li Lianyi raised her hand and slapped her son hard on the head, knocking him away.

"Qingxue, this is also your great-grandmother," Ye Liuyun explained to little Qingxue with a grin.

As if sensing her mother's embarrassment, Xiao Qingxue immediately started barking loudly at Li Lianyi, seemingly quite pleased with herself.

With a little one there to ease the tension, Lin Heng and the others shifted their gaze from Ye Liuyun to Xiao Qingxue.

"Don't stand here, come inside. We Lin family members have separate residences and don't live with the Wang family," Lin Heng gestured.

And so, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue followed them into the Wang family mansion and arrived at their private residence.

The Wang family treated the Lin family quite well; they certainly didn't mistreat them at all.

However, judging from Lin Heng's tone, they probably weren't particularly free here, and might even have felt a bit stifled. After all, they were living under someone else's roof, so how could they be comfortable?

They arrived at the secluded villa.

"Madam, Aofeng, you three take Xiao Qingxue for a walk first. We need to settle accounts with these two, lest we frighten the child." The atmosphere immediately became serious upon returning to the villa.

Li Lianyi nodded, then carried the child away, leaving only Ye Liuyun, Lin Aoxue, Lin Heng, and the Lin Du couple there.

After everyone left, they closed the door. Needless to say, those two guys were definitely going to get scolded, and even Lin Aoxue would probably get criticized along with them.

Sure enough, as the door closed, Lin Du's irritable voice echoed from inside the room.

"You two, kneel down!" Lin Du roared.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue exchanged a glance, then knelt down listlessly. Although their cultivation was much higher than theirs, their strength was nothing in front of their relatives and elders.

The two anticipated that they would be scolded; after keeping it from them for so many years, they should at least get some criticism.

"Hey? You two are pretty in sync, aren't you? Seems like you anticipated getting scolded, huh?" Lin Du said, his lips twitching as he looked at the two of them, who seemed completely unfazed.

"This? Oh dear, father-in-law, things have already come to this. The reason Aoxue and I didn't tell you was because we were afraid you wouldn't be able to handle it all at once," Ye Liuyun explained with a grin.

"Be serious. Who's joking around with you? Look at you. If your grandpa and parents knew their son had turned into a daughter, I bet they'd be devastated," Lin Du complained.

Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes.

"Oh dear, father-in-law, my family already knows," Ye Liuyun replied.

As soon as he said that, Lin Du and Lin Heng both got furious.

"Ah... what did you say? Your family already knew? When did this happen?" Lin Heng asked hurriedly.

Ye Liuyun naturally told them about the visit to relatives a hundred years ago, which meant that the Lin family was the last to know about this news.

"What kind of situation is this?!" Lin Heng could only sigh after hearing this.

Fortunately, they are not ordinary people now. If they were ordinary people, they probably would have died of anger.

“Father-in-law, mother-in-law, things have already come to this. Besides, I’ve already solved the problem of having children. We already have a child. If you really care so much about carrying on the family line, Aoxue and I can have more,” Ye Liuyun said.

Upon hearing this, the Lin family's eyes lit up.

But Lin Aoxue was not happy about it.

"Give birth my ass! Let me tell you, I'm not having any. Don't even think about it," Lin Aoxue quickly refused.

"Shut up and let Liu Yun finish what he has to say." Lin Du immediately told Lin Aoxue to shut up.

Seeing Lin Aoxue's discomfiture, Ye Liuyun stood up with a smile, intending to explain how she and Lin Aoxue had given birth to their daughter.

However, as soon as he got up, Lin Du immediately scolded him.

"Say what you have to say while kneeling down. Who told you to get up?"

Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes, then obediently knelt back down.

"Oh dear, a symbolic kneel is enough. Why are you so angry? I have a kind of pill that can make Aoxue pregnant with a child carrying both of our bloodlines," Ye Liuyun explained unhappily.

Lin Heng and the others were already cultivators, and things were different now. They also knew that there were many good things in the cultivation world that could make people pregnant.

"If that's the case, then there's really no need to worry too much about these things. Are there any restrictions on your pills?" Lin Du asked.

"This elixir was developed by myself, and currently it can only make other women conceive my bloodline," Ye Liuyun replied.

Upon hearing this, the Lin family members were somewhat disappointed, as they had thought the pill had no limitations.

To be honest, from their perspective, it would be a great joy for Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun to have a child, but it would be even more joyful if they had a boy.

Of course, their idea has faded considerably compared to before.

"Really? Sigh! If only there weren't such restrictions. Aoxue's three older sisters still don't have any children," Wang Yan said with some regret.

In this world, a woman who has become a wife and has children is considered a complete woman and has a place in a family.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun's eyes darted around for a moment, then he chuckled and said...

“Mother-in-law, if you really want such a pill, I can find time to study it further and perhaps improve my current pill.”

It can only be said that parents in any world seem to care a great deal about whether their children are married or have offspring.

"What? You actually have a way with this?" Lin Du asked curiously.

"Give me enough time, none of this will be difficult. Oh, father-in-law, you've been kneeling long enough, let us get up," Ye Liuyun said, seizing the opportunity.

Lin Du rolled his eyes and then nodded.

"Forget it, if you were still the same as before, I'd have to teach you a lesson. But the way you are now, I really can't bring myself to do it. I was originally planning to have your mother-in-law deal with you, but considering you and Aoxue have a child, I'll let it go," Lin Du said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue stood up with smiles on their faces.

I've said everything that needed to be said, now it's time to talk about something even more important.

"Aoxue, how did you meet our ancestor, and how did you confirm that he was our Lin family's ancestor? Do you know anything about our Lin family's past?" Lin Heng asked.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue dusted off their knees and sat down, with Lin Aoxue recounting the past of their Lin family.

The conversation lasted for almost half an hour, after which Lin Heng and the others finally understood everything.

"I see. Now that you mention it, I remember a story my grandfather told me when I was a child. He said that our ancestors were not of the Lin family bloodline. One day, an immortal descended from the sky and gave the Lin family a child. He then gave them many benefits and asked them to raise the child to adulthood. I never thought that this legend was true." Lin Heng said with a serious expression.

After discussing Lin Tianya, the next question was about Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun.

"Grandpa, how has the Wang family treated you all these years?" Lin Aoxue asked.

This question left Lin Heng and Lin Du at a loss for words, and they looked at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan said helplessly.

“Even if it’s good, it’s still living under someone else’s roof. It’s not as free as we were in Qixia Town back then. To be honest, if I could, I wouldn’t want to stay in the Wang family. The Wang family is too big and has no human touch,” Wang Yan said.

Although she was a member of the Wang family, she was only chosen by the Wang family to marry Lin Du because of her poor aptitude.

Therefore, she herself lacked affection for the Wang family, and having lived away from home for so long, her heart was with the Lin family.

“That’s right. Now that the Tang Kingdom is falling apart, the Nanling area should be safe. In addition, Aoxue and Liuyun are both in Nanling. I want to go back to Qixia Town, but the Wang family disagrees. I feel that they want to control our family to restrain the two of you.” Lin Heng, as expected of a general who has fought on the battlefield for many years, easily judged the Wang family’s intentions.

Seeing that their family members were quite disgusted by this situation of living under someone else's roof, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue decided to find a way to bring the person back to Nanling. Not only that, Ye Liuyun also planned to bring his parents back.

"Father-in-law, Grandpa Lin, don't worry, leave this matter to us. We will negotiate with Wang Yuan." Ye Liuyun said.

Lin Heng smiled and nodded.

"Then it depends on your abilities. You two have high cultivation levels and good talents, plus the protection of such a powerful ancestor, I think it shouldn't be a problem," Lin Heng said.

However, given Lin Tianya's personality, if he were to bring his descendants back, he would likely bring them directly back to the Taishang Ganying Sect.

Actually, Ye Liuyun and the others didn't need to think too much. At this moment, in the Wang family's living room, Lin Tianya was already discussing this matter with Wang Xu of Shaoqing Palace.

“Fellow Daoist Wang Xu, since the Lin family members are my descendants, it’s not appropriate for them to stay in your Wang family any longer. I want to take them back to Nanling.” Lin Tianya, who was chatting idly in the Wang family’s living room, suddenly put forward his idea.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Wang family members froze.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, wouldn’t it be better for his family to stay in Zhongzhou? Why do they have to go back to that remote place in Nanling? I heard that their family in Nanling disappeared long ago. Where is their home now? Why not rebuild the Lin family in Zhongzhou?” Wang Xu said.

However, Lin Tianya's next sentence made the Wang family's expressions turn ugly.

"There's no need for the Wang family to worry about that. This is a matter for my Lin family. Wherever I am, there is the Lin family. I'm not discussing this with you, but informing you," Lin Tianya replied forcefully.

Lin Tianya's actions were somewhat disrespectful, which put the Wang family in a difficult position. If they returned the person to Lin Tianya, it would mean that they could no longer use Lin Aoxue's family to control Lin Aoxue, which would also indirectly mean losing control over the Taishang Ganying Sect.

The problem is that they can't refuse. As Lin Tianya said, it's my Lin family's decision where to go and where to settle down. I can do whatever I want. If your Wang family doesn't agree, then I'll have to question whether you have ulterior motives.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin, our Wang family is just offering our opinion, don't take it to heart. However, I think you should consult with their family before making a decision. Although you are an ancestor of the Lin family, this is only the first time you've met them," Wang Xu quickly said.

This remark did ease the tension a little, but they could tell from the conversation that Lin Tianya wasn't someone who was easily fooled.

Lin Tianya thought about it and decided that he would not force anyone to do anything. He was just sharing his opinion with the Wang family and telling them not to try anything funny with the Lin family.

"That makes sense." Lin Tianya nodded, deciding to stop worrying about the issue for the time being.

They would definitely be staying at the Wang family for a while and couldn't leave so soon. Besides, now that they were in Zhongzhou, Ye Liuyun planned to go to the capital with Lin Aoxue to visit his grandfather.

"Therefore, Fellow Daoist Lin, this matter cannot be rushed. By the way, tonight my Wang family will host a banquet to invite Fellow Daoist Lin, my granddaughter, and her husband who has transformed into a woman," Wang Xu said.

Even though Wang Xu felt something was off whenever Ye Liuyun was mentioned, regardless of whether Ye Liuyun was a man before, she was now a real woman, and this would still become a laughing stock for outsiders, which would definitely be quite embarrassing.

"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Wang. We've had enough of our conversation. I should go and talk to my descendants and see what they think." Lin Tianya said, then stood up.

The Wang family and Lin Tianya didn't exchange any money; it was just some polite talk, which was considered the Wang family's way of showing goodwill to Lin Tianya.

"Alright, someone come here and take Fellow Daoist Lin to Miss Wang Yan's place," Wang Shanhe gestured.

Lin Tianya calmly followed the guide and left. Although he knew where Ye Liuyun was, even though he was sitting there, his divine sense never left Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue. This was to prevent the Wang family from harming them.

It wasn't that Lin Tianya didn't trust the Wang family, but rather that a family like the Wang family wouldn't do anything without a reason. Their invitation to Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue to the Wang family was, to some extent, driven by ulterior motives.

As for Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue, their family had already sat down together to talk about their experiences over the years, and Li Lianyi had also brought back Xiao Qingxue and Lin Aoxue's three older sisters.

"Tsk tsk, you little rascal, I never would have guessed. You've turned into a woman, but I feel like you're even more womanly than a woman. It's really making me, your older sister, very uncomfortable." Lin Aoxue's eldest sister, Lin Aofeng, looked at Ye Liuyun with a strange expression.

“Yeah, I’m just wondering, you two are both women now, so what exactly is your relationship?” Lin Aojun said awkwardly.

Ye Liuyun sighed repeatedly as the Lin family questioned him.

"Oh, let's not dwell on this anymore. It's an outcome that can't be changed. Call me whatever you want, I don't care," Ye Liuyun said, rather displeased.

After all, it's understandable that she'd be annoyed by being constantly teased about her transitioning from male to female.

"Then let's just call each other by our old names. Otherwise, what should we call each other? This is the only way. Don't be impatient, kid. We're even more upset, you know? Oh, by the way, I heard you can refine pills that can make women pregnant. You and Aoxue used these pills to give birth to Qingxue, right?" Lin Aofeng suddenly asked about the pills.

This is what the three sisters are most concerned about.

"These pills aren't suitable for my three elder sisters. Let's wait until I've developed a new one before we talk about it," Ye Liuyun stated.

"That's settled then. Our happiness is all in your hands now," Lin Aofeng said with a smile.

Soon, Lin Tianya arrived.
