When Yin Xiangyuan ntioned the Elder Princess, the elders fell silent.
Indeed, for the Yin Family, nothing was more important than the Elder Princess.
They were all old now, and as they were not part of the main lineage of the family head, many secrets remained unknown to them.
Yin Xiangyuan was the next head of the family—no one was more suited for the task than her.
Once the matter was settled, Yin Xiangyuan booked a flight for the next day, preparing to leave imdiately.
The family head, Yin Yuanhu, glanced at his daughter but said nothing at the ti. However, that very night, he summoned her to his study and asked her what she was really thinking.
Yin Xiangyuan’s words might have fooled the elders, but they couldn’t deceive him.
The so-called "Heavenly Health Cultivation Technique" incident was nothing more than a farce—just soone trying to borrow the Elder Princess’s na to glorify themselves.
A single phone call from him could expose the truth. There was no need to send anyone.
Yin Xiangyuan sat silently in her chair. After a long pause, she slowly raised her eyes and coldly t her father’s gaze. "Father, have you forgotten the Yin Family’s creed? Do you still rember our ancestors’ instructions? Do you even know why the Yin Family exists?"
Yin Yuanhu stiffened, his expression darkening.
Yin Xiangyuan’s tone grew sharper. "It seems to that you’ve long forgotten. The Heavenly Health Cultivation Technique has caused such a stir, yet you haven’t paid it the slightest attention."
The Hidden dicine Family existed because of the Great Qi’s Elder Princess.
Back then, the Elder Princess had died suddenly under mysterious circumstances.
The imperial astrologer had told the Yin Family’s ancestor that the Elder Princess suffered from a "soul-separation affliction" and had not truly perished.
Because of this, the ancestor left the Imperial dical Academy and traveled across Great Qi in search of the Elder Princess’s soul.
Though the ancestor spent his entire life without finding her spirit, he never gave up. Instead, he founded the Hidden dicine Family, instructing his descendants to continue the search.
Finding the Elder Princess was the very reason the Yin Family existed!
Scolded by his daughter, Yin Yuanhu’s face flushed with embarrassnt, but he refused to admit any fault. "Xiangyuan, our ancestor’s understanding was backward and mistaken. You were born in the modern era—you should know better. People don’t have souls. When they die, they’re just gone!
The Elder Princess likely suffered from so sudden illness. Given the dical knowledge of that ti, it couldn’t be diagnosed, so it was mistaken for a soul-separation affliction."
"Father, have you watched Gu Nanyan’s livestreams?"
Yin Yuanhu shook his head. "No."
He was far too busy to waste ti on livestreams.
"I have," Yin Xiangyuan said firmly. "There’s sothing off about that Gu Nanyan. I need to et her in person."
Yin Xiangyuan was ticulous in her work and had always kept an eye on news related to the Elder Princess.
After the incident broke out, she had investigated Gu Nanyan’s background.
She noticed sothing strange—Gu Nanyan seed like a completely different person now compared to before.
As a celebrity, Gu Nanyan had left behind countless photos and videos online. The old Gu Nanyan had been an ordinary beauty with diocre, even sowhat vulgar, charm.
But the current Gu Nanyan seed reborn, radiating an extraordinary presence.
Especially during her survival trip on the deserted island—she had been like a celestial being, capable of anything.
Many of her martial arts techniques and beast-taming thods had long been lost to ti.
Still, videos could be deceiving. She needed to et Gu Nanyan in person to be sure.
Yin Xiangyuan’s intuition told her that Gu Nanyan had so connection to the Elder Princess—perhaps she had even received guidance from her.
Of course, there was also the possibility that soone was using the Elder Princess’s na for their own sches.
Either way, she had to investigate.
Early the next morning, Yin Xiangyuan and Nan Xi headed to the airport.
They flew first class.
The cabin was nearly empty, with only the two of them inside.
Nan Xi handed Yin Xiangyuan a folder of compiled information. "Dr. Yin, here are so docunts I’ve prepared about Gu Nanyan’s scandals. You should take a look."
Yin Xiangyuan shot her a cold glance and didn’t take the folder. "Do you think I can’t gather my own information? I know exactly what you’re trying to do. Don’t play these petty gas with .
Look at you—just like your mother. All sweet and gentle on the surface, but always scheming, always using others to get what you want.
I’m not stupid. Whatever grudge you have against Gu Nanyan has nothing to do with . If you think you can use to take her down, you’re sorely mistaken."
This woman’s words were downright vicious!
Nan Xi clenched her teeth, forcing a strained smile.
Since she still needed Yin Xiangyuan, she couldn’t afford to break ties just yet. Softening her tone, she explained, "You’ve misunderstood. I’m genuinely concerned for the Yin Family. I know how much the Elder Princess ans to you, and I was worried Gu Nanyan might tarnish her reputation. That’s why I gathered these materials."
Yin Xiangyuan closed her eyes, her voice icy. "Shut up. Your mother stole those dical formulas—all of them were secret Yin Family recipes, officially recorded by the state. If you keep causing trouble in front of , I’ll reclaim those formulas, bankrupt the Nan Family, and leave you begging on the streets."
Nan Xi: "..."
Damn it! This woman was ruthless.
Too frightened to speak, Nan Xi fell silent.
But on second thought, with Yin Xiangyuan’s unforgiving personality, she’d be even angrier once she t Gu Nanyan.
Lowering her head, Nan Xi glanced at a photo of Gu Nanyan and sneered inwardly.
The storm was coming. Once this venomous woman arrived, Gu Nanyan would be finished!
Though Yin Xiangyuan refused to look at Nan Xi’s materials, she had her assistant gather plenty of information.
Previously, she’d been too busy to watch many of Gu Nanyan’s videos, only skimming through them.
Now, with ti to spare, she could examine them carefully.
She opened a recording of Gu Nanyan demonstrating the so-called Heavenly Health Cultivation Technique.
In the video, Gu Nanyan earnestly taught the exercises. She never explicitly called it the Heavenly Health Cultivation Technique—only referring to it as "health exercises"—yet everyone assud it was the legendary technique.
Yin Xiangyuan scrutinized Gu Nanyan’s movents, her expression growing increasingly grave.
The Yin Family’s ancestor had never recorded the Heavenly Health Cultivation Technique, but he had spent years by the Elder Princess’s side and painted many portraits of her.
Among those paintings were several depicting the Elder Princess practicing health exercises.
Yin Xiangyuan compared them one by one and found that Gu Nanyan’s movents matched the paintings perfectly.
She was srized.
Sitting beside her, Nan Xi noticed Yin Xiangyuan’s intense focus on the video and assud she was searching for flaws in Gu Nanyan’s technique.
Hah! Gu Nanyan was done for!
But just as she began to rejoice, an image flashed through her mind—Gu Nanyan’s piercing, fathomless gaze, as if she could see right through a person.
A shiver ran down Nan Xi’s spine.
No, no. Even the president of the Traditional dicine Association, Tian, had endorsed Gu Nanyan’s exercises. That ant there had to be sothing to them.
If Gu Nanyan was bold enough to teach them publicly in front of so many experts, she must have absolute confidence.
Nan Xi worried that Yin Xiangyuan might be swayed, convinced that Gu Nanyan was genuine.
These physicians were all the sa—cold on the outside but soft-hearted beneath.
Just look at how her mother had stolen the Yin Family’s recipes and gotten away with it.
Nan Xi had quietly inquired and learned that the Yin Family seed to hold so resentnt toward her mother for stealing the dicinal formula. However, since her mother had used the formula to produce affordable dicine, helping many sick people recover and benefiting the community, they chose not to pursue the matter further.
Nan Xi was afraid, but the Yin Family also did not hold Gu Nanyan accountable.
After so thought, she spoke up, "Dr. Yin Xiangyuan, having watched the video, what do you think of Gu Nanyan's 'Heavenly Health Preservation Technique'? I’ve heard it’s quite effective."
Yin Xiangyuan nodded. "Indeed, it’s quite good—it has benefits for strengthening the body and improving health."
Hearing this, Nan Xi’s expression shifted. Just as she suspected!
