Not Intentionally Showing Off, Yet the Founding Ancestor Calls Himself "This Old Servant"
Not Intentionally Showing Off, Yet the Founding Ancestor Calls Himself “This Old Servant”
Listening to the two of them chatting away on their own, Lin Tian’s expression turned rather ugly.
The Lin Family’s Founding Ancestor?
A young lord? Heh, what kind of nonsense was all this?
In his eyes, every existence in this Sky Blue Realm was nothing more than children playing house.
The strongest being in this realm was at most at the Partial-Enlightened Realm—before him, an Enlightened King in his past life, he could poke them dead with a single finger.
Lin Tian was utterly dismissive of the whole matter.
“Pay respects to the Founding Ancestor? I’m not interested. Get lost.”
Lin Tian held no goodwill toward these two, and his face immediately turned cold as he issued the order to leave.
“You...”
The two were stunned, somewhat angered.
Normally, Lin Tian would never speak to them like this.
What madness had possessed him lately? His personality had become so strange and reclusive.
The youth among them prepared to make a move, intending to teach Lin Tian a proper lesson, but the girl beside him pulled him back. “The Founding Ancestor has returned from the Beyond, and he won’t even go pay respects for such a momentous occasion—he probably doesn’t want his place in the Lin Family anymore.”
“Let’s not bring trouble upon ourselves. When the Family Head finds out, we won’t escape a punishment.”
As the girl spoke, she paid no mind to Lin Tian, whose expression had suddenly turned somewhat shocked, and dragged the youth beside her away.
“Returned from the Beyond?”
Lin Tian was shocked because he had caught those words.
He had originally not wanted to go, but anything involving the Beyond made him deeply concerned.
“Forget it, what’s the harm in going to take a look? I’d like to see just what kind of figure this Lin Family Founding Ancestor is...”
Thinking this, Lin Tian’s expression shifted slightly, and then he silently followed behind the two of them.
Seeing this, the two couldn’t help but let out a round of snickering.
Lin Tian certainly hadn’t been like this just moments ago.
Sure enough, it still took the Family Head to keep him in line.
“Heh heh...”
“Didn’t you just say you weren’t going?”
“Looks like he’s scared after all. He still cares about his status—after all, without the Lin Family name, he’s nothing.”
Faintly hearing the voices drifting from ahead, Lin Tian’s expression grew several shades uglier, killing intent flickering in his eyes.
Fortunately, he held back.
At this point in time, he still needed his identity as a Lin Family disciple.
He could not expose his origins!
Meanwhile, the boy and girl leading the way ahead had no idea they had just taken a stroll past the gates of hell.
Though Lin Tian’s cultivation was not high, with the methods of his past life, killing the two of them would have been quite effortless.
......
At the same time, in the Lin Family estate, within the great hall.
Numerous figures with powerful auras stood within.
The place surged with vital essence, divine light flickering faintly, auspicious radiance interweaving—one could see the profound heritage of an ancient clan.
Outside the great hall, many Lin Family clansmen also stood.
Most were young men and women, shrouded in divine light, brimming with vigor—all of them elite geniuses of the Lin Family’s main line of this generation, quite renowned across the lands of Middle State.
They gazed into the great hall with curiosity and excitement, yet dared not make the slightest sound.
After all, every single person in that hall was a figure of high position and great authority within the family, such as the clan elders!
Even the Great Elder, who had gone into seclusion ten thousand years ago and was suspected to have passed away in meditation, had appeared, personally receiving the guest!
That young man dressed in dark robes, seated at the head position with lowered eyes, sipping tea—just what kind of status did he hold?
Even his maids were breathtakingly beautiful, like celestial fairies of the Nine Heavens.
And even the legendary Founding Ancestor who had broken through the realm and ascended was wearing a respectful demeanor?
To them, such a thing was simply inconceivable, beyond imagination.
“Ming Lao, you all carry on with your conversation, don’t mind me.”
Gu Changge sat at the head seat, laughing casually. He found this situation rather amusing.
It wasn’t that he was deliberately showing off.
Rather, before the flying vessel had even descended—having just arrived above the Lin Family’s clan grounds—a large group of old men had already been waiting respectfully below, claiming to be descendants of the Lin Family.
After that, Gu Changge was naturally respectfully invited into the Lin Family by them.
With the mindset of having nothing better to do and casually wandering around, Gu Changge didn’t refuse.
Ming Lao explained that this was his descendants’ bloodline resonance with him—knowing he had returned to Middle State, they had come specially to welcome him.
Though the words were spoken simply, such a grand welcome from his descendants still made Ming Lao feel honored, giving him great face.
Especially since all of this was happening in front of Gu Changge.
He didn’t want the Young Master, having just arrived in Middle State, to have to settle down in some shabby, run-down place.
Accompanying the Young Master down to the Overworld for training this trip could, in a sense, be considered his own fortuitous opportunity.
If they were in the Beyond, given his status and position in the Gu Family, getting close to Gu Changge would have been impossible, let alone being able to handle matters for him.
“Young Master, what are you saying? No matter how happy this old servant is, I wouldn’t dare set you aside.”
Hearing this, Ming Lao couldn’t help but respond with a wry smile.
Of course, with this half-joking tone, he also knew Gu Changge wouldn’t blame him.
Seeing today that his descendants were all doing well, having even become one of the several great ancient clans of Middle State, made Ming Lao extremely delighted and put him in a wonderful mood.
His courage was also considerably greater than usual—ordinarily, he wouldn’t dare crack this kind of joke with Gu Changge.
Old servant?
The Founding Ancestor actually referred to himself as “this old servant”?
Hearing these words, everyone in the great hall felt their pupils contract in unison, sharply sucking in cold breaths inwardly.
The young men and women at the doorway also widened their eyes at these words.
“It’s nothing.”
Gu Changge smiled casually—naturally, he couldn’t possibly mind such a trivial matter.
But with the descendants and their ancestor reminiscing about old times, what was he doing sitting here like a stump?
“Qingge, accompany me for a casual stroll.”
With that, Gu Changge set down his tea and rose from his seat.
His expression was placid and gentle, as if he bore not the slightest airs, giving off an approachable feeling.
But everyone understood that this was, in truth, a restrained loftiness.
The gentle aura displayed on the surface was merely the mark of excellent upbringing.
Or rather, it was giving Ming Lao face.
“Qiuhan, you’re familiar with this area. Why don’t you lead this young lord around the surroundings?”
At this moment, seeing the situation, the Lin Family Head suddenly spoke up to his daughter at the doorway.
Hearing this, Ming Lao gave him an approving look—this descendant had quite the discerning eye.
“Y-yes, Father.”
Lin Qiuhan hurriedly replied, her voice involuntarily trembling somewhat.
Because she was too nervous.
Gu Changge hadn’t paid much attention at first, but hearing these words, he couldn’t help following the voice to look.
His eyes lit up.
A gray long robe, features of stunning beauty.
A light dusting of powder on her face, skin like congealed cream, hair like flowing clouds.
Even beneath the loose robes, her tall stature and curvaceous figure could not be concealed.
Of course, the main thing was her Fortuity points—they were actually quite high?
“Sister...”
At the entrance of the great hall, Lin Tian, who had just arrived, was instantly stunned at this sight.
Then his fists clenched tight, his emotions surging violently.
