Chapter 1682: Chapter 1682: A blood sacrifice? So soon?

When he had left the room earlier, he saw that everything in the courtyard had already been moved out. Presumably, such a trivial matter wouldn’t concern the matron of the illustrious Yue Clan.

"Chushui, I’ve mentioned it to Grandmother already, and she means that if you wish to reclaim your mother’s belongings, she has no objections, but you must have the ability to protect them."

Luo Tianying spoke to him again.

In a world where it is dog eat dog, safeguarding one’s possessions is no easy task.

"Of course, Grandmother won’t tell anyone about you taking those items, including Grandfather,"

she added.

"I understand. When I’m free, I’ll go get my mother’s things back," Lin Chushui nodded.

Hearing this, Luo Tianying raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways at her younger cousin.

Had Lin Chushui not heard her clearly just now?

Having so many valuables close at hand was very dangerous, yet her cousin decided to keep those items close by.

But it was his own decision, so naturally she couldn’t say anything.

"By the way, Cousin, there’s something you need to do during the banquet later. You might end up in an awkward situation, so remember, do not offend anyone, understood?"

she murmured.

"What is it?"

Lin Chushui asked nonchalantly.

All these years, he had endured in the Liu Family. Was he to fear those people now?

"Uncle will perform a blood ritual on the spiritual cultivation within you. It all depends on your talent whether you can manifest your cultivation," Luo Tianying said.

Actually, as his cousin, she was even more nervous than Lin Chushui. Whether the cultivation could be manifested or not was not exactly good news for Lin Chushui—it was downright unfortunate.

If his cultivation was remarkable, he could become a cultivator of spirits at the age of twelve, which would mean he could be the next Young Master of the Yue Family, the future patriarch.

But because of the position of the Yue Family’s Young Master, it would be like being put through a trial by fire.

How many in the Yue Family coveted that position, and now it might be occupied by someone who had just been brought back to the Yue Family, especially someone with no influence at all in the Family! She could imagine what others would do without even thinking.

"What?"

At her words, Lin Chushui’s steps came to an abrupt halt.

He looked at Luo Tianying in a daze.

"A blood ritual? So soon?" he asked.

He wasn’t prepared for anything yet, and now it was time for a blood ritual? He wondered if it was still possible to take the medicine Sister Sangsang had given him.

"Not too soon, right?"

Luo Tianying did not notice his unease, and even if she had, she just thought Lin Chushui was nervous.

"Don’t be scared, it’s nothing. It’s just a formality. Whether you have the talent for spiritual cultivation isn’t something you can decide. If it doesn’t work this time, you can have another blood ritual with the blood of your late grandfather in a month,"

Lin Chushui: "..."

He felt it was completely unnecessary, but no one would listen to him.

"Cousin Tianying, there won’t be that many blood rituals, will there?" he asked, forcing a smile.

"There won’t be many. Your return is timely; at twelve, it’s the right age for a blood ritual. You can have one each month, which means you could undergo seven more blood rituals,"

Lin Caisang: "!!!"
