“He said he would do anything for you.”
“Back then?” An Jiuyue was puzzled.
If I’m not wrong, Elder Huang must be talking about the time when Father was still fighting in the military.
How would he know me back then? Didn’t he save me coincidentally when he returned to the mountains to recuperate? Why would he say that? Does he have other descendants?
“Elder Huang, you must be mistaken. I’m only his adopted daughter.”
!!
If he had other descendants, she would hand over everything he left behind to them.
“No, Young Master, I didn’t misunderstand.” Elder Huang shook his head and looked at An Jiuyue seriously.
“You’re the Young Master and my master’s lifelong goal. He never married nor had a maid by his side. He doesn’t have any descendants.
“He also said many years ago that his daughter hasn’t appeared—we will know when she does.
“Actually, I’ve always known that my master adopted you as his daughter. I’ve always wanted to meet you, but he rejected me. He said it wasn’t time to meet you because you weren’t the Young Master yet.”
“Although I don’t know what he meant, I’m confident you’re the Young Master.”
An Jiuyue was extremely shocked.
What’s going on? My father raised the Host for five years, but he didn’t bring her to meet his old subordinate. He even rejected him when he asked to see her!
Was he waiting for me…?
Impossible! That’s impossible! It’s too unbelievable! How would he know I’d be transmigrating here? Why did he insist on making me the Young Master?
“Is my father also a…” Transmigrator?
An Jiuyue dared not say the last word in front of Elder Huang.
There were many things she did not understand. She had nowhere to turn to make sense of them now that her father was no longer around.
Since she was here now, she decided to settle down and resolve the matters at hand first.
“Elder Huang, I’ll be staying here in seclusion for a few days. Don’t let anyone disturb me besides bringing me three meals daily. Also, please help me prepare 100 sets of herbs according to this list.”
She handed the list and some silver certificates to Elder Huang.
When he saw the money, he shook his head repeatedly. He would be a butler in this big villa for nothing if his young master had to fork out money for a small expense.
“Young Master, you can keep your silver certificates. Everything in the Jade Kite Garden Villa is yours. I’ll send someone to prepare the herbs.”
With that, he took the list and left. An Jiuyue watched him and did not force him to accept the money.
My father must have been really rich for Elder Huang to not care less about this money!
“I’m so tired.” She patted the back of her neck and rotated her head a few times.
Having picked herbs non-stop after traveling for days, she had been unable to rest properly. She felt as if all the bones in her body had snapped.
Everything was settled now. All she needed was a good night’s sleep. Once she had enough energy, she could start developing the antidote for the poison.
“I should sleep now. I’ll continue when I wake up.”
With that, she walked towards her room and fell onto the bed, ready to have a good dream.

In the military camp…
