Upon hearing the conversation between the two, Lin Tian's expression darkened.
"Ancestor of the Lin family? Young master?" Lin Tian sneered, his disdain apparent. "What is this nonsense?" To him, everything in the Tianqing Realm was just a child's game. The strongest being in this realm might only be at the Void God Realm, which was nothing in front of his former self—a true God King. A mere flick of his finger could destroy these so-called "powerful beings."
"Go meet the ancestor? I'm not interested. You two, get lost," Lin Tian ordered coldly, showing no sign of respect. He had no fondness for these two and wasn't about to humor them.
The two youths were taken aback, anger flashing in their eyes. This was not how Lin Tian usually behaved. Lately, his demeanor had been strange and erratic, much more withdrawn. The young man was about to scold him, but the girl quickly intervened, pulling the boy aside.
"With the ancestor returning from the upper realm, such a major event, and Lin Tian refuses to meet him? He probably doesn't care about his Lin family identity anymore," the girl said with a sigh. "Let's not make things worse. If the family head hears about this, we'll be punished."
Lin Tian froze at the mention of the upper realm. The words caught his attention. While he had initially wanted to ignore the matter, the mention of the upper realm stirred something in him.
"Fine, I'll go see what kind of person this Lin family ancestor is," Lin Tian muttered under his breath, his face darkening as he followed the two youths.
The two youths exchanged a sneer, unaware that Lin Tian was fuming behind them. "Didn't you just say you weren't going? Looks like he cares about his identity after all. Without the Lin family, he's nothing."
Lin Tian clenched his fists, his anger rising. But he held it back. For now, he still needed the Lin family's status. Revealing his true origins was not something he could afford just yet.
The young man and woman leading the way had no idea they were walking toward their own doom.
Though Lin Tian's cultivation was far from high, his abilities from his previous life made it easy for him to deal with these two. But for now, he held off on any drastic actions.
Meanwhile, inside the Lin family estate, in the grand hall.
Numerous powerful figures stood tall, their auras radiating. The entire hall was filled with vibrant energy, divine light flashing, and auspicious clouds swirling—a true reflection of the deep heritage of the ancient clan. Outside the hall, many of the Lin family's younger generation stood, watching with eager and excited expressions. These young men and women were the most talented and prominent members of the Lin family, well-known across the Central Continent.
They stood in awe, eyes wide, looking into the hall but daring not to speak. After all, every person inside the hall held significant power and influence within the family, with many of them being elders of the clan. Even the long-lost grand elder, who had secluded himself for thousands of years and was thought to have passed away, had appeared to personally welcome the guests.
At the center of it all, a young man dressed in dark robes sat at the head of the hall, sipping tea. His identity was a mystery, and his aura was profound. Even the ancestor, who was believed to have ascended to the upper realm, showed him respect. To the younger generation, all of this was unfathomable, and they could hardly believe what they were witnessing.
"Old Ming, feel free to talk among yourselves. Don't mind me," Gu Changge, sitting in the seat of honor, smiled casually. He wasn't trying to show off. In fact, he had barely even landed in the Lin family estate when a group of elders had come out to greet him, calling themselves descendants of the Lin family.
Afterward, Gu Changge had been invited into the Lin family's estate. With nothing pressing to do, he decided to take a stroll. Ming Lao explained that this was simply the descendants sensing his bloodline and coming to welcome him, but this show of respect still filled Ming Lao with pride. The Lin family's enthusiasm was undoubtedly a reflection of their respect for Gu Changge's bloodline.
"Young master, you humble me. Even if I were to be overjoyed, I wouldn't dare to leave you alone," Ming Lao chuckled, his tone both respectful and light-hearted. His words were half a joke, but he knew Gu Changge wouldn't take offense. Seeing his descendants thrive, many of them now among the leading families of the Central Continent, had made Ming Lao feel elated.
"Old servant?" The entire hall froze upon hearing those words. Everyone, even the young men and women near the door, looked up, their eyes wide in disbelief.
"Everything's fine," Gu Changge said with a smile, not bothered by the slip of words. However, he wasn't here to observe the reunion between the descendants and the ancestor.
"Qingge, let's take a walk," Gu Changge continued, setting down his tea cup and standing up with a calm, gentle expression—one that appeared approachable. But those who knew him well could sense the underlying restraint and noble demeanor beneath his soft smile. It was the kind of natural dignity that only someone truly powerful could exude.
"Autumn Cold, you know the area well. Why don't you show this young master around?" Lin Hong, the head of the Lin family, spoke up suddenly, looking at his daughter near the door.
Ming Lao, hearing this, gave Lin Hong a look of approval. "This descendant has sharp insight."
"Yes… yes, father." Lin Qiuhan, the daughter, replied with a nervous tone, her voice trembling as she immediately stepped forward. Her nervousness was palpable.
Gu Changge glanced over, and his expression shifted. In front of him stood a tall, graceful young woman dressed in a flowing gray robe. Her features were delicate, her skin flawless like jade, and her long hair cascaded like a waterfall. She was tall, with an alluring figure that was hard to ignore. Her presence exuded a certain air of elegance, and her luck seemed quite high.
"Big sister..." Lin Tian, who had just arrived at the hall, froze at the sight of her. His hands clenched into fists, and his emotions flared up uncontrollably.
