RMWDS -Chapter 266 Cult Leader Miao’s Important Speech on Older-Woman–Younger-Man Relationships

At the clinic.

Chu Fuling had already prepared everything in advance and was quietly waiting at her desk for everyone to arrive.

Once the group was seated, she approached Ling Yunxiao with a focused and professional expression. She carefully observed his complexion and pupil responses, then placed her fingers on his wrist to examine the flow of his blood and meridians.

Combining her examination with the symptoms everyone had previously described—memory loss, emotional agitation, and his instinctive attempts to flee—she soon arrived at an accurate diagnosis.

“He suffered a severe head injury years ago. Old stagnant blood accumulated inside his skull and has been pressing on the memory-related nerves for a long time. That’s what caused the memory loss and complete amnesia.”

Her tone was calm and certain as she provided a clear treatment timeline.

“The condition isn’t serious. He doesn’t need medicinal treatment. Regular acupuncture sessions to clear the meridians and gradually disperse the blood stasis will be sufficient.

“If treatment continues consistently for half a month, the stagnant blood will be fully cleared, the nerve compression will disappear, and all of his memories should return.”

Miao Yunyou blinked.

“Half a month? I thought one treatment would fix everything.”

Chu Fuling looked up helplessly.

“I’m a physician who treats illnesses, not an omnipotent immortal.

“The stagnant blood has been there for many years. It can only be resolved gradually. There has never been a shortcut that cures this sort of thing in a single session.”

Miao Yunyou nodded sheepishly.

“Oh. That’s true.”

Although she agreed outwardly, she couldn’t help worrying inwardly.

Half a month was not a short period of time.

This man was incredibly powerful and highly skilled.

If he decided to run away again during those two weeks, nobody besides Luo Xinglan could realistically stop him.

And now that they had confirmed he was Niannian’s father, tying him up twenty-four hours a day wasn’t exactly appropriate.

They couldn’t exactly assign Luo Xinglan to follow him around every second either.

Her concern was written all over her face.

Ling Nianci noticed immediately and spoke reassuringly:

“Cult Leader, there’s no need to worry.

“My father is very obedient.

“He definitely won’t run away.”

Hearing that, everyone instinctively turned to look at Ling Yunxiao.

He was sitting quietly in his chair, posture straight and dignified.

From beginning to end, his gaze had remained fixed on Wen Xiuning.

Not once had it wandered.

The conversations around him, the sounds outside, and everything happening inside the clinic failed to capture even a fraction of his attention.

In his confused and unfamiliar world, Wen Xiuning seemed to be the only source of light.

The only thing that felt safe.

The only place that felt like home.

Well…

This wasn’t merely a matter of not running away.

He simply couldn’t bear to leave.

Miao Yunyou sighed.

“Alright, then. Where’s he going to stay during these two weeks?”

Wen Xiuning answered casually, her expression calm and gentle:

“He can stay in my room.

“It’ll be easier for me to take care of him and accompany him to his daily treatments.”

The moment she finished speaking, the previously quiet Ling Yunxiao immediately objected.

His tone was proper and restrained, carrying the manners of a gentleman.

“That would be inappropriate.”

His eyes never left Wen Xiuning’s face.

Despite his objection, there was an unmistakable hint of reluctance in his expression.

“If there are any vacant rooms near yours, I can stay there instead.”

The keyword was “for now.”

That for now carried a remarkable amount of meaning.

Looking at his sincere and self-controlled demeanor, Wen Xiuning’s lips curved into a gentle smile.

“Alright.”

Miao Yunyou couldn’t help thinking to herself:

Wise people avoid falling in love…

Once the consultation was finished, daylight had completely faded.

Evening settled over the entire resort, and it was time for dinner.

The employee dining hall was unusually lively that night.

Everyone was curious about this mysterious swordsman who had appeared out of nowhere and possessed such extraordinary strength.

Throughout the meal, Wen Xiuning sat beside Ling Yunxiao.

With quiet patience, she introduced each person present one by one.

She explained their identities, their backgrounds, and their relationships to one another, helping him gradually become familiar with the people around him.

The atmosphere at the table was warm and cheerful.

Laughter and conversation flowed continuously.

That is…

Until Wen Xiuning reached Lin Yuan in her introductions.

Lin Yuan sat quietly at the side of the table.

Next to her was a special child’s chair, where little Yaoyao sat obediently, clutching a pastry in her tiny hands. Her expression was innocent and adorable as she curiously watched the adults around her.

Hearing her name mentioned, Lin Yuan looked up calmly.

The next moment, Ling Yunxiao suddenly rose from his seat.

His posture was straight and dignified, his expression solemn and serious.

His gaze settled firmly on Lin Yuan and the little girl sitting beside her.

His voice was steady and sincere.

“Miss Lin. I have heard that you are General Lin’s younger sister.

“As for that ambush… I was completely unaware of it beforehand. However, since the matter was connected to me and implicated your brother, I cannot entirely escape responsibility.”

He openly accepted his share of the blame.

Every word was honest and straightforward.

“If you harbor resentment and find it difficult to let go, you may strike me here and now.

“Even if you were to stab me in return, I would have no complaints.”

The entire room fell silent.

Miao Yunyou instinctively tensed.

She had assumed that the gentle-looking Lin Yuan might feel intimidated, avoid the subject, or perhaps still hold some lingering resentment from the past.

But to everyone’s surprise, Lin Yuan simply looked at him thoughtfully for a moment.

Then she smiled softly.

“Hero Ling needn’t be so concerned.”

“My brother has spent many years traveling the jianghu. He is a reasonable and broad-minded person, not someone who confuses right and wrong or takes out his anger on innocent people.

“Once the full circumstances are explained, he will naturally judge the matter fairly. He won’t blame you.”

Then she shifted the topic slightly.

“However, if Hero Ling still feels guilty and wishes to make amends, then perhaps I could ask for one thing.

“If the two of you meet again in the jianghu someday, would you agree to a sparring match with my brother?

“The chance to cross swords with a top expert such as yourself would undoubtedly make him very happy.”

Open-minded.

Gracious.

Reasonable.

Her composure and magnanimity were impeccable.

Ling Yunxiao nodded solemnly.

“I shall honor your request.

“Thank you for your understanding.”

Wen Xiuning nodded gratefully toward Lin Yuan.

Ling Nianci added:

“Thank you, Sister Yuan!”

Miao Yunyou secretly gave Lin Yuan a thumbs-up.

A level of generosity and grace like that was genuinely admirable.

Meanwhile, everyone else was surprised by something else.

They had not expected Niannian’s father to be so young.

It was at this point that Ling Nianci finally revealed the truth:

Her parents had been in a classic older-woman–younger-man relationship.

When they first met, Wen Xiuning had been twenty-eight years old.

Ling Yunxiao had been eighteen.

A ten-year age gap like that would have been considered quite bold in the strict social conventions of earlier times.

It was, admittedly, a tiny bit challenging to traditional sensibilities.

In response, Cult Leader Miao delivered an important speech:

“Exactly!

“Let me tell you all something.

“The best marriage-matching system in the world is an older-woman–younger-man relationship!

“Science shows that men generally have shorter lifespans than women.

“So think about it. If every man marries a woman younger than himself, what happens?

“The man passes away early, and the woman is left alone in old age.

“That’s so sad!

“So the perfect matching system is for every woman to find a younger man!

“That way they can accompany each other through life and reach the finish line together.

“Growing old side by side, staying together year after year—that’s the most perfect life partnership possible!”

Everyone listened attentively.

Then, one after another, they nodded in wholehearted agreement.

“Cult Leader is wise!”

“Very wise!”

“Profoundly wise!”

The dinner concluded in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

Old grievances were completely dissolved.

What remained was nothing but warmth, laughter, and the feeling of a reunited family.
