Sit Down and Eat Together

As Yang Lingshu said this, an image could not help but rise in his mind.

It was the sight of Yang Lingqing bustling about with the family's affairs, large and small, when he had first stepped onto the path of cultivation.

Only now did he truly begin to understand a little of the hardships borne by this Patriarch.

At present, merely the identity of one who would inherit the lineage was already giving him quite a headache.

It was truly hard to imagine how heavy the burdens and responsibilities on Yang Lingqing's shoulders had been when she took charge of the household at thirteen.

One had to know that the Yang Family back then did not enjoy today's prosperity. It had merely struggled to survive in the cracks between the Dynasty and the sects.

Any slightly larger storm could have capsized their little boat entirely.

Yet Yang Lingqing had, at such a difficult time, taken up the heavy responsibility of managing the family without hesitation. Later, she led the Lineage through one hardship after another and ultimately carved out a path toward rising.

Thinking of this, Yang Lingshu gave a bitter smile and shook his head, feeling that he was being rather disgraceful now.

Compared with the family's circumstances back then, whether in terms of internal and external conditions or the resources he could command, he had it countless times better.

"Just these trivial, cumbersome matters are already making me fret. I've spent these past years focused only on cultivation and have truly regressed quite a bit in this regard."

Yang Lingshu gently shook his head. "It's fortunate the Patriarch isn't here. Otherwise, she would surely give me a proper lesson again."

With this reflection, it meant that he had accepted his new identity and completed the shift in roles.
