After my luck was stolen, I led my whole family to defy fate and change our destiny.

So later, Shen Qingqing reopened her clinic and kept suppressing Xinglintang with low prices. But the people didn't know that the medicines in Shen Qingqing's clinic were all inferior to those in Xinglintang.

[Being betrayed by their former apprentice, both Old Master Song and Old Master Li fell ill from anger, and, unable to heal themselves, they passed away not long after.]

After hearing his younger sister's words, Gu Liyao stood there in a daze, his heart sinking deeper and deeper. It turned out that she had not only harmed himself but also the clinic.

All of this was caused by him letting the wolf into the house.

His fingers trembled incessantly inside his sleeve, and he felt utterly powerless.

He was overwhelmed by feelings of self-blame, guilt, and remorse. He slumped in a corner, tears welling up in his eyes.

Fortunately, everyone's attention was on Gu Linglong at the moment, so he was able to process his bad mood.

Gu Yu'an patted Gu Liyao's shoulder reassuringly, instantly realizing that his past relationship was nothing compared to Gu Liyao's; his second brother was even worse off than him.

People shouldn't compare themselves to others. But without comparison, you won't know how much you suffer or how lucky you are.

[The second brother suffered the worst; his hands were cut off and his spiritual roots were dug out. Because Shen Qingqing was only a half-baked talent, she injured her meridians during the process of digging out her spiritual roots, losing all five senses. She was thrown into a charity hall, but not wanting her family to worry, she did not return. In the end, she was found by the government and exiled, where she died on the way.]

[I'm afraid my second brother will still be thinking about Shen Qingqing until he dies. Tsk tsk, I have to say, my eldest and second brothers are similar in this respect; they've both fallen for women.]

Gu Yu'an, who was innocently shot: "..."

[However, the eldest brother isn't as bad off; one is blind in one eye, and the other has lost all five senses. The second brother is a bit worse off, but hmph, what can he do? He's so love-struck, he doesn't even have a proper title, yet he's always chasing after other people. My eldest brother is at least engaged, so it's understandable that he cares about his fiancée. Tsk tsk, what an idiot...]

[What do you call my second brother's behavior? Let me think... unrequited love? Uh... no, wait, a simp?]

Gu Liyao: "..." He secretly protested in his heart, no, he didn't, he just felt that if you like someone, you should be good to them!

Unfortunately, I failed to recognize the true nature of people.

[Shen Qingqing is so amazing! All the men are fawning over her. I even want to become her apprentice. When I grow up, I'll hook up with a few handsome guys too, hehehehe...]

Gu Liyao: "..."

Gu Yu'an: "..."

Gu Yu'an kicked Gu Liyao in anger, glaring at him with eyes that seemed to say: It's all your fault, look, you've corrupted such an innocent and lovely little sister.

Then I'll bring a different man home every day and see what you do then.

"It's his fault, it's his fault," Gu Liyao said, scratching his head in frustration. "How am I supposed to educate a child about this?"

After complaining about her second brother, Gu Linglong began to form hand seals and wrote a "Ten Thousand Diseases Powder".

[Let's write an amulet to cure Old Man Li's illness. Shen Qingqing has been kicked out and won't upset him anymore. I hope he'll be healthy for the rest of his life. This will also help clear up my second brother's bad karma.]

[I'll write another longevity talisman as a return gift.]

Gu Linglong parted her lips slightly and uttered a single word silently.

[Enter]

[Enter]

Two beams of light, invisible to mortals, entered Elder Li's body one after the other. When the light disappeared, Elder Li instantly felt light all over.

He really did need to spend more time with children; in just a short while, he felt like he had become younger.

Old Li coaxed Gu Linglong, "Sweetie, dance for me too! You just danced for Old Man Song, you can't be biased."

Old Song rolled his eyes: "How childish!"

Old Li: "It's none of your business."

Gu Linglong's intricate hand gestures did indeed resemble dancing to outsiders.

To be precise, it looks like waving your hands in a flower-like motion!

When Old Li saw Gu Linglong forming hand seals, he laughed so hard his mouth stretched to the back of his head.

He raised an eyebrow smugly at the crowd surrounding him: "See? Linglong danced for me too. She likes me, hahaha, my efforts paid off!"

He even secretly used soap pods with floral scents!

This talisman took so much energy. After helping my second brother clear his karma, I'm completely exhausted. I need to sleep for a while; I'm so tired.

[Second brother, if you don't buy me chicken legs from now on, I'll beat you up!]

Gu Linglong's current magical and spiritual power was insufficient to support her writing two talismans in a row. The depletion of her physical body and spiritual power caused her to instantly enter a dormant state.

"Forehead?"

Old Li gently poked Gu Linglong's face.

"How can you dance one second and fall asleep the next?"

Gu Yu'an roughly guessed what had happened from his younger sister's inner thoughts, and hugged her tenderly.

"They're probably tired from playing; young children like that get sleepy easily."

After listening, Old Li had no doubts: "Yes, you need to sleep more. Good sleep is essential for good growth."

Gu Yu'an gently touched his younger sister's face, feeling very sorry for her. "You don't need to return the favor. What about your older brothers?"

笨！

Gu Yu'an remembered his younger sister saying she would help Gu Liyao clear his karmic obstacles, and couldn't help but kick Gu Liyao again.

It's all you.

Gu Liyao dared not talk back or fight back, silently enduring it, for he had worried his younger sister.

Fearing that the younger sister wouldn't sleep well with so many people around, the group said goodbye and headed back, attracting many stares on the way.

Because there was a calf following behind the carriage.

A cow adorned with a large red flower and a clip on its head!

The little one is really obedient and takes good care of things.

Back at the manor, Su Xiuran saw her daughter asleep and carefully placed her in her crib.

When it was time for dinner, Gu Linglong still hadn't woken up, which puzzled Su Xiuran, as it had been so long since she returned.

Logically, she should have woken up long ago; she would definitely be awake at this time because she needs to drink milk.

Su Xiuran frowned slightly: "Linglong hasn't slept all day? Why isn't she awake yet?"

Gu Liyao immediately tensed up: "Uh...uh...I didn't sleep."

Gu Yu'an: "There are many people in the clinic. My little sister likes to watch the excitement, so she didn't sleep. Let her sleep a little longer. She drank milk before going to sleep, so she won't be hungry. It won't be too late for her to drink milk again when she wakes up."

After listening to what her two sons said, Su Xiuran's brows relaxed: "Okay, what about the cow?"

Gu Ziming raised his hand: "Me, me, me, give it to me to raise."

Gu Liyao glared at him: "This belongs to my little sister, don't even think about it."

Gu Ziming pouted like a duck's beak: "I can't raise my little sister right now."

Gu Yu'an: "No."

Gu Ziming: "Okay, okay."

Anyway, he can still go out for walks even if he's kept in the backyard.

Su Xiuran suggested, "Let's keep it in the backyard and build it its own cowshed."

"it is good"

After finishing their dinner, the group returned to their rooms. Su Xiuran noticed that Gu Linglong was still asleep and asked, "Why did you sleep for so long this time?"

She raised her hand and touched Gu Linglong's forehead, secretly relieved. Thankfully, she didn't have a fever. She covered Gu Linglong's lower abdomen and then left.

After a while, Gu Liyao quietly slipped in. He put his finger under Gu Linglong's nose. Thank goodness, she's alive!

Gu Linglong doesn't make noise at night, so she sleeps relatively little during the day.

He actually slept during the day, because he was a little worried that his little sister might die after writing a few talismans for him.

Gu Liyao straightened her small blanket, took her hand and kissed the back of it, then climbed out the window and left.

Not long after Gu Liyao left, Gu Yu'an came in again.

He nervously placed his finger under Gu Linglong's nose to probe.

Thankfully, thankfully, when he checked on his little sister this afternoon, she didn't turn over at all, she was very quiet, not even snoring. He was worried, so he came to check on her.
