No. Even if his son was suffering from a common cold, the pill wouldn’t be that big, right?

“I don’t have a cold. This is a pill for cultivation.”

Jiang Yu replied casually, completely oblivious to Father Jiang’s shocked and speechless expression.

What… What nonsense was he talking about? Cultivation? This was no longer a feudal society, right? Was there such a saying?

“Son, are you sure that you’re not lying to me?” Father Jiang asked worriedly, “It’s okay if you’ve cheated. But son, are you under too much pressure?”

Did he push his son too hard? Was convincing him to inherit the family business lead him down this path?

The more Father Jiang thought about it, the more he felt that it was the case. He began to reflect on himself. Perhaps he shouldn’t have pushed so hard.

There was still time, so he could make amends.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine,” Jiang Yu said but didn’t explain.

Even if he were to explain the matter of cultivation to his father now, he probably wouldn’t believe it. However, he would have to talk about it in the future.

The table that was once full of large pills was soon cleaned. Jiang Yu finished them all without a change in his expression. Father Jiang was completely shocked.

“You… Son…”

Father Jiang suddenly wondered if he should take his son to the hospital for a checkup.

Was it really alright to eat so many medicinal pills in one sitting?

At this time, Jiang Yu grabbed his wrist and asked, “Dad, did something happen at the company?”

In fact, while he does appear blank, he was also carefully observing his father’s condition.

However, Jiang Yu’s expression changed a little when he touched on the topic.

Father Jiang thought that his son didn’t know medicine, so he naturally wouldn’t think in that direction.

“No,” he said evasively. “The company is doing well. You don’t have to worry.”

Then, the older man hurriedly tried to persuade him, “How is it? Have you decided to take back the family business? I welcome you anytime—”

“Dad,” Jiang Yu interrupted him, “I just went to a classmate’s party. I know something. Don’t hide it from me. What happened to the company?”

Seeing that Father Jiang was still planning to bluff, Jiang Yu bluntly pointed out, “One of my classmates said that my family won’t be able to hold on for long. Dad, at least let me know the real situation of the company.”

Knowing that he couldn’t hide it anymore, Father Jiang sighed, “The company has indeed encountered some problems recently that are not easy to resolve.”

“If I don’t solve the problem, everything your classmate said will be true…”

Jiang Yu’s heart tightened as he hurriedly asked, “How much time do we have left?”

If the time was too short, he would not even be able to help.

Jiang Yu heard his father’s answer anxiously, “One year at most.”

It was just the right time for him to reach the Revival of Spirit Qi in this world.

Jiang Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

It wasn’t just the company’s problem. Father Jiang was constantly exhausting his body because of the company’s matters. Jiang Yu could feel that his body was already very weak. Was there anything he could help with?

‘Can my father eat the Spirit Restoring Pill?’ Jiang Yu asked the system.

If it was possible, one Spiritual Recovery Pill should be enough to cure his illness, right?

However, the system gave him a negative answer. [No, even if a low-level cultivator consumes a Spirit Restoring Pill, their body will suffer a certain backlash. The body of an ordinary person generally cannot withstand it.]

‘Then what can I do now?’

Although his father forced him to inherit the family business, he still loved him. This man was his father.

He couldn’t just watch his body deteriorate like this.

The system helplessly gave the best solution at the moment. [At least for now, there’s no other way but to wait for the recuperation of reiki to slowly guide him to improve his body.]

At least after the recuperation of reiki? That was a crucial day.

Jiang Yu pondered. He had to ask his father to take care of his health during this time so that nothing unexpected would happen.

[Of course, he can also let him take some Chinese medicine to recuperate. Immortal cultivators have their own methods. If you can’t use immortal cultivators’ things, then you can just drink ordinary Chinese medicine.] The system suggested.

That was true.

Before Father Jiang left, Jiang Yu repeatedly reminded him to take care of his body.

Mr. Jiang was gratified and at the same time, he was persuading him, “Son, since you’re so worried about me, why don’t you come back and inherit the family business?”

‘Despite being related, their minds seemed to be disconnected.’

His tone returned to normal, “Dad, take care. I won’t see you out.”

‘This brat!’

Father Jiang had no choice but to leave. He quietly coughed a few times.

Jiang Yu lay on the bed and became even more determined to cultivate.

Not only did he not want to inherit the family property, but he also wanted to protect his father’s health.

[You don’t have to worry too much. I can feel that his body is indeed very weak, but it’s not weak enough for him to collapse.]

The system’s heartless tone made Jiang Yu want to hit someone.

[After all, your family is rich. He eats and drinks well every day.]

Jiang Yu’s face darkened, “Take back your words.”

It was not its father who was in trouble, so it was easy for it to say that.

No, this robotic system didn’t have a father or waist.

The system was speechless.

Although this was the truth, it did not feel comfortable hearing it.

After that, Jiang Yu continued to cultivate.

He wanted to stay in the hot spring room for a while, but he heard Mother Ye’s voice at the corner.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Jiang. This villa is yours now.”

What?

Jiang Yu thought he had misheard.

He had only been here for less than a month, yet his father had moved so quickly!

“Young Master Jiang has always been very good here. Don’t worry! I’ll report to you immediately if there’s any abnormality!”

Forget it, other than the butler, there was another spy.

After Mother Ye hung up, Jiang Yu appeared and said meaningfully, “Mother Ye, what do you plan to say to my dad?”

Mother Ye’s body shivered and she smiled embarrassedly, “Young Master Jiang, I didn’t intend to say anything. Now that Mr. Jiang has bought the villa, I have to say something nice to him.”

“Is that so?” Jiang Yu’s lips curled up into a smile. Mother Ye suddenly felt a little cold.

Did she say something wrong? If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have picked up the call here.

“Don’t worry, Young Master Jiang. I won’t tell Mr. Jiang.”

Even if she did, he wouldn’t know. Mother Ye prayed in her heart that this Young Master would leave quickly.

“I hope you keep your word.”

He didn’t really care about Mother Ye’s actions.

If his father knew, then so be it. Didn’t he care when he mentioned cultivation?

However, when he thought of the company’s current situation, Jiang Yu sighed heavily.

The company was already in such a state, yet he still took out funds to buy the villa. He really doted on his son.

In that case, he would have to speed up his cultivation. When the day of the recuperation of spiritual energy came…

Jiang Yu arrived at the hot spring and was about to take off his clothes when the butler rushed over and said, “Young Master, someone has come to visit.”

Who would come so early in the morning?

Jiang Yu immediately frowned and refused, “No.”

“But…” The butler looked very troubled, “Young Master, you should go and take a look. He doesn’t seem to be an ordinary person.”
