"Yes and no." Grandpa Ye said mysteriously.

"Ah? So is it there or not?" Not only was Ye Jingang confused, but everyone except Grandpa Ye and his wife was also confused. If it was there, it was there. If it wasn't there, it wasn't there. What did it mean to have it or not?

"It's just that the legend existed before, but it disappeared later."

"Dad, I don't understand what you are saying. Please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us in detail." After Ye Jianguo finished speaking, the others nodded repeatedly.

After hearing what Ye Jianguo said, Grandpa Ye turned to look at Grandma Ye. Grandma Ye felt Grandpa Ye's gaze, nodded at him, then stood up and took out a cloth bag from the bottom of the kang cabinet. She opened it layer by layer, and a piece of jade appeared before everyone's eyes.

The jade is lustrous and the size of a child's fist. It has no carvings and is just its original appearance after the skin is removed. Ye Jinhua took a look at it and felt that it was very similar to the Hetian jade seed material that was sold at a sky-high price in later generations. There were no traces of any craftsmanship. The entire skin was covered with a thick patina, as if it had been played with in someone's hands for many years.

Grandma Ye looked at the jade in her hand, and with a hint of melancholy, she said calmly, "This is the true inheritance of our Ji family."

After she finished speaking, Grandma Ye placed the jade and the cloth wrapped around it on the kang table, and spoke without anyone asking any further questions.

"No one knows exactly when this jade came into our Ji family. It has been inherited by every Ji family head for hundreds of years, and the successor is determined by it."

"It's so magical, how is it decided? Can it speak? What will happen if you inherit it? Will you achieve peerless martial arts?" Ye Jingang asked curiously.

"Pa!" Ye Jianguo patted him on the back of the head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're talking about peerless martial arts. The Ji family is a medical family, not a martial arts family."

Ye Jingang rubbed the back of his head and said aggrievedly, "You don't know how to talk things out properly, and you resort to violence. That's peerless medical skills."

"Well, yes and no, no one knows now. It is rumored that whoever inherits it will have an inexhaustible supply of precious medicinal materials and sophisticated prescriptions." Grandma Ye continued to talk.

"It's just that no one knows how the inheritance is carried on. A hundred years ago, the head of the Ji family died unexpectedly. He only had time to give the jade to his descendants for safekeeping. He passed away before he could say how to use it. Since then, there has been no one to inherit the legacy."

"Then this inheritance is the same whether we have it or not? Just for such a thing that is the same as having it, our family was forced to leave our homeland, and my grandfather lost his life." This time it was Ye Jinyi who spoke up, and then asked, "Where did my great-grandfather get the medicine to save the leader?"

"That medicine is made with precious herbs and a recipe obtained from jade. There are only a few left, and once they're gone, they're gone. Your father and your brothers didn't study medicine, so I asked your grandfather to give the remaining medicine to Huahua."

No one else had any objection to this. They just gave it to him. Anyway, if anyone in their family needed it one day, Huahua would definitely give it to them.

"Have you tried any other methods to receive the inheritance?" Ye Jinhua asked. She wondered if this thing would require blood oaths to acknowledge the master, something so fantastical. But since she could travel through time, she wouldn't be unable to accept something even more fantastical.

"I tried dropping blood on it, but it didn't work. Since you kids are here today, why don't you try it too? Your eldest brother tried it when he was little, but it didn't work either."

"Let my younger sister try it. We are not studying medicine, so the inheritance will be of no use to us." Ye Jingang said.

"Just give it a try. As long as there's someone who can inherit it, the things inside can be used. It doesn't really matter whether you learn medicine or not." Grandpa Ye continued.

Next, everyone bit their index finger, squeezed out blood, and then took turns dripping the blood onto the jade.

Ye Jinhua thought, let it be, she is not the original one anyway, and they will definitely not choose her to inherit such a mysterious thing, not to mention that they don’t even know if the method is correct.

Ye Jinyi was the first to drop blood on the jade. There was silence all around for a long time. The drop of blood was almost dry but nothing happened. Ye Jinyi shrugged his shoulders. He didn't care whether he could inherit or not. He had always felt that it was difficult enough because, strictly speaking, they were members of the Ye family, but they had half of the Ji family's blood flowing in their bodies.

Then it was Ye Jingang's turn. Similarly, there was no reaction.

Finally, it was Ye Jinhua's turn. She walked over nonchalantly and squeezed a large drop of blood onto the jade. In an instant, golden light gushed out from the jade, and the surroundings instantly became as bright as day. The expressions on everyone's faces were clearly visible, stunned, surprised, delighted, and Ye Jinhua's panic and helplessness.

No, she's an outsider, not the original. She was already embarrassed to have taken someone else's body and family, but there was nothing she could do. She had passively accepted those things. But this inheritance was different. How could she have the nerve to take someone else's family treasure for herself?

"Hahaha, as expected, Huahua is the most blessed child in our family. Even the heirloom jade that hasn't been opened for generations has recognized Huahua." Grandma Ye was delighted. She herself was unsuccessful, lacking talent and the ability to learn medicine. The family was about to fall into her hands, and now she saw hope again.

With tears in her eyes, she faced the direction of Old Master Ji's grave and silently said in her heart: "Dad, do you see? Our Ji family has a successor."

"Okay, okay, okay." Grandpa Ye said "Okay" three times in a row with excitement in his eyes. He had long felt that the turning point of the Ye and Ji families lay in Huahua, and sure enough, he was not disappointed.

The other people were also excited, without any jealousy at all.

"I told you long ago to just let your younger sister try it herself. You made my second brother and I get injured in vain." Ye Jingang also spoke. He originally thought that he had no chance. He didn't study medicine, and he had to bleed for nothing. However, he was also very happy for his younger sister.

"No." Ye Jinhua suddenly said loudly. Unlike the others who were surprised and happy, everyone finally realized that something was wrong with Ye Jinhua. Their faces were filled with panic and helplessness, even guilty consciences, but there was not a trace of joy at all. "I can't accept the inheritance."

"Why, little sister? It was the inherited jade that chose you. There is no mistake about it." Ye Jingang asked, expressing the confusion in everyone's hearts.

"But, but my last name is Ye! How can I inherit the Ji family's legacy?" Ye Jinhua didn't dare to say directly that he was not the original product, so he could only give a reason that was not a reason.
