The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

On the lonely mountain, all was quiet. The old man stared at Jiang Xianyue's profile for a long time before finally deciding to talk to her.

So he walked up to Jiang Xianyue.

"Little girl... Master has something to say to you!"

The old man stammered. He used to be the most straightforward person, but now, facing Jiang Xian Yue, he began to feel anxious and uneasy.

How should I put this?

After all, in Jiang Xianyue's mind, there is a difference between a master and a father.

She raised Jiang Xianyue herself, but kept it from him for so long. It's only natural that Jiang Xianyue might have other thoughts about him.

The old man understood perfectly and dared not say anything more.

What happened back then was the result of his own stubbornness.

Ultimately, I felt somewhat sorry for Jiang Xianyue's mother, and I was also afraid that Jiang Xianyue would say I lacked responsibility.

Jiang Xianyue took a deep breath. Some things always need to be resolved, and there's no use in running away from them.

With things having come to this point, Jiang Xianyue nodded and followed the old man's steps.

You see, everyone from Wanggushan has returned, and everyone is waiting quietly.

Jiang Xianyue found a place to sit down.

"I probably won't be traveling anytime soon."

My master once said, "On Wanggu Mountain, no one should eat without working." I was afraid he would look down on me.

"What time has it been!"

The old man took a deep breath.

She said that back then simply because she didn't want her disciples to develop a pampered mentality. Why is she holding a grudge now?

This little fairy on Wanggu Mountain is usually very good at making money, and it seems that everything is waiting for her here.

The old man's tone even carried a hint of ingratiation.

"Little girl, I know I was wrong. I didn't tell you my true identity back then."

Ultimately, your mother made this decision so that the Luo family wouldn't be able to track you down, so you could be born legitimately, and so you wouldn't be affected by the prophecy of that so-called chosen one.

I know about this, and I've had many opportunities to talk to you about it in the past, but I never seized the chance. I know you harbor resentment, and since this whole thing started because of me, there's really nothing I can do.

The old man looked dejected and comical, but Jiang Xianyue laughed.

“Father, I know you called me here for this matter. It’s just a form of address, and I thought you wouldn’t mind.”

"Over the years, I've gotten used to calling him 'Master.' With so many senior brothers on Wanggu Mountain, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to accept it if things suddenly changed!"

Jiang Xianyue's voice was calm, but her tone was more serious than ever before.

Jiang Xianyue thought to herself, looking at the old man in front of her with eyes full of tenderness.

She was able to leave Shen Shijing and choose Wanggushan because she no longer cared about her social status.

Now that the old man had explained everything, Jiang Xianyue understood the matter even better. She smiled radiantly as she looked at the old man before her.

"Can I leave now?"

"You really forgave me? When did this happen? You weren't just trying to appease this old man because you were afraid of being embarrassed when you went back to Wanggu Mountain, were you?"

"I really meant it for your sake."

Jiang Xianyue sighed.

"These fellow disciples of Wanggu Mountain, all of them have worked hard for the sect. The sect's current prosperity is inseparable from everyone's contributions."

So, if I admit my identity, what will happen when they worry every day that everything on Wanggu Mountain was prepared for me?

"These rascals wouldn't think that way, but she's their beloved junior sister."

"Now that I have a daughter, I must tell everyone. And now that Yuzhu has taken over the Luo family, everything in the Luo family will be yours from now on."

Starting today, the old man seems to want to give Jiang Xianyue all sorts of good things.

Jiang Xianyue shook her head.

“This Luo family belongs to my brother Yuzhu, and I don’t want it. After all, he has stayed in the Luo family for so long, and he is very familiar with everything about the Luo family.”

If Luo Huaiqing hadn't been arrested, no one would have said anything about him as the head of the Luo family.

As for me, my position is illegitimate, and I've even captured the former head of the family. Besides, such a heavy burden would make me uncomfortable. Do you want me to carry so many things in the future, or even be bound by them?"

The old man thought about it and reluctantly agreed.

"This Lonely Mountain..."

“Father, you are the boss here, what am I worried about? I want to rest for a while, I don’t even want to travel anymore, do you want to inherit Wanggushan?”

"Father, I've come back to heal my wounds. I just lost my fiancé."

"It's better not to go to a place like the royal palace. If you really become the empress, this old man will be uneasy every day."

The old man waved his hand, seemingly looking down on all that wealth and luxury.

Yes, Wang Gushan is incredibly wealthy, even richer than a country. Naturally, this old man wouldn't care about anything from the royal family. Besides, his precious daughter has entered the palace and is being criticized by so many people, which the old man is really unwilling to do.

"A man like that is better off without. Although he may have some sincerity, how many good men can an emperor have?"

Jiang Xianyue nodded absentmindedly.

"There's no need to explain what happened in the past. Everything was a decision you and your mother made. I respect you. I will make my own decisions about my life, and that's the best arrangement."

The old man considered admitting his mistake, repenting, and even having a proper conversation with Jiang Xianyue.

In the end, he was comforted by Jiang Xianyue.

The calmer you are about your innermost thoughts, the more terrifying they become.

The old man knew what was going on. He took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Xianyue again.

"Alright, you should rest well. Your injuries need to heal for a while. There's everything on Wanggu Mountain."

Jiang Xianyue nodded and went out.

In short, none of the sorcerers on Wanggu Mountain were doing well; they healed their wounds every day and saved their own lives.

Jiang Xianyue had just stepped out when she saw Yuzhu at the door.

When Yu Zhu saw Jiang Xian Yue, she seemed quite embarrassed and didn't know what to say after thinking it over.

"I've come to say goodbye to my father. Now that everyone has returned safely, and my mission is complete, I will be returning to the Luo family soon."

Yu Zhu didn't dare to look at Jiang Xian Yue, as if she had something to say but was afraid of saying too much and making things too awkward.

“Brother Yuzhu, you’re going back so soon? But Wanggu Mountain isn’t very nice. Why not stay for a couple of days and enjoy the scenery and the many fun things to do on the mountain?”

Yu Zhu was taken aback for a moment.

"What did you call me?"

"You share the same father and mother as me, so I should call you elder brother. The reason I didn't make this clear in the past was because I was engaged. If I were to marry into the royal family, the complicated relationships with the sorcerer family would be difficult to explain, and it would inevitably become a weakness in the future. I could only pretend to be ignorant."

But things are different now. I can no longer marry into the royal family, so you are my elder brother, and always will be.

"Sister, I never imagined that one day I would actually have a sister, and a father too."

It's a real pity I didn't get to see my mother one last time.
