CHAPTER 773: CHAPTER 775, THAT PERSON’S IDENTITY (3 MORE UPDATES)

Ruan Wanrong paused and then felt relieved, "In that case, I’m relieved!"

She was afraid that Yun Jinnian was too weak and would be bullied again upon returning to the Yun Family.

"Sister Ruan can rest assured, I am no longer the Yun Jinnian who let others bully me without daring to fight back. If anyone dares to bully me now, I will surely repay them tenfold or a hundredfold!"

"Right, that’s how it should be. It’s said that one shouldn’t harbor malicious intentions but must always be on guard. They say to repay evil with kindness, but then how should one repay kindness? Jinnian, the Yun Family is truly detestable. In the future, if you need anything, just speak up. I may not be able to help with big things, but I’m still capable of handling small ones!" Ruan Wanrong said indignantly.

"Thank you, Sister Ruan!"

Hemei got into the carriage and relayed the events, and Yun Jinnian didn’t say much, choosing to put it out of her mind.

They soon arrived at their destination.

Duan Qimeng got off the carriage to knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

A hoarse voice came through.

The wooden door opened, and a middle-aged man in grey clothes looked cautiously at Duan Qimeng. His expression shifted slightly when he saw Yun Jinnian and Ruan Wanrong alight from the carriage.

He didn’t recognize Duan Qimeng or Ruan Wanrong, but he knew of Yun Jinnian.

Yun Jinnian also felt he was familiar, but couldn’t recall who he was. The only people she felt familiar with but didn’t remember were the followers of the Moon-Watching Sect of Nanjiang.

Seeing the middle-aged man’s expression change again,

Yun Jinnian was certain that he was a member of the Moon-Watching Sect from Nanjiang.

She didn’t ask him anything further and stepped forward. The middle-aged man immediately knelt down, his heart filled with guilt.

And with a sense of inexplicable joy, because the Saintess had recognized him.

Duan Qimeng and Ruan Wanrong were astonished beyond measure.

Yun Jinnian turned to Duan Qimeng and Ruan Wanrong and said, "Sister Ruan, Brother-in-law, please wait for me outside for a moment. I’ll go in and have a look!"

"But..." Ruan Wanrong worried about Yun Jinnian’s safety.

Duan Qimeng quickly held Ruan Wanrong back, "Alright, Commandery Princess, please!"

After all, he was more knowledgeable than Ruan Wanrong and had a clearer mind.

Seeing Yun Jinnian approach with her head held high, the middle-aged man became even more panicked and knelt down.

It was clear that Yun Jinnian recognized him, and he recognized Yun Jinnian.

A sense of joy ignited in Duan Qimeng’s heart.

Yun Jinnian only brought Hemei and Henuan into the yard. Looking at the middle-aged man still kneeling on the ground, she said, "Aren’t you going to close the door?"

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man quickly got up and closed the wooden door.

Only then did he respectfully say, "Saintess, please take a seat in the parlor!"

Once inside the parlor, he immediately ordered the maid to serve tea and then said with utmost care, "Saintess, please sit for a moment, I will go and call out Auntie!"

Auntie?

Yun Jinnian raised an eyebrow.

Given his age, the person he called Auntie must be quite old.

"Go ahead!"

Yun Jinnian lightly sipped from the teacup in her hand.

It was tea from Nanjiang.

The middle-aged man left the hall and turned into a small courtyard, entering a room, "Auntie, the Saintess has arrived!"

"What did you say?"

The voice was old and extremely hoarse.

It carried surprise and excitement, along with an undefinable joy.

"The Saintess has come; she is in the parlor right now!"

"Heh heh, that child is quite capable, to have found this place and so quickly, too! But it’s not surprising, the sect hasn’t had a Saintess for decades, and now that they finally have one, those old folks are sure to revere her like an ancestor, naturally giving her the best of everything!" As she spoke, she took off the dark veil and one by one removed her clothes.

The middle-aged man kept his head down, not daring to look up.

"Bring me that set of white clothes!"

Immediately, a maid brought the clothes, helping her dress.

Then they tidied up her pale hair and adorned it with silver ornaments.

"Auntie?" the middle-aged man softly prompted.

"At any time, I mustn’t forget that besides being the blood of my sister, she is also the Saintess recognized by the Spiritual Poisonous Insect and the Sacred Relic. I am her elder and a member of the Moon-Watching Sect; it is only proper to be respectful when meeting the Saintess for the first time!"
