Chapter 607 Xuanyuan Clan IV
Chen Li then spoke to them. “As you can all see, these images are a small part of my memories, and the woman standing at the forefront is Xuanyuan Lanyin, the holder of the title of the Sword Immortal. Not only her, but all of them are the best among the best, and they each hold different titles.”
Xuanyuan Ling and the others turned to Chen Li with different thoughts in mind, but they became quite trusting of him. Even though they didn’t know anything about the higher realms, let alone the Five Divine Heavens, they were aware that the title of immortal would never be given to random people.
Xuanyuan Xing suddenly asked him. “How do you know our ancestor and those people? I don’t mean to doubt you, but you are even younger than my granddaughter, so I feel confused and curious about your true identity.”
“My mother is right.” Xuanyuan Ning also spoke to him. “Moreover, we can feel that the little girl on your lap is much stronger than all the cultivators in this realm, including Bai Lanhua, so I hope you are willing to explain the truth to us.”
Unlike them, Xuanyuan Ling asked Chen Li a different question. “Does that mean our ancestor is still alive there now, Long Wang?”
Before answering their questions one by one, Chen Li immediately deactivated the crystal. “Xuanyuan Lanyin is still alive, but her situation is a little complicated now, and I can’t explain everything in detail to you right now. As for my identity, as you already know, I am Long Wang, and that is all I can tell you. Even though you are his direct descendants, we don’t know each other, so I won’t be rash in revealing my true identity to you.”
The three old women nodded in understanding, but Xuanyuan Lingyan continued to look at Chen Li with a look full of suspicion and curiosity, and she believed that his status should be higher than that of her ancestor.
Chen Li then got up from his seat and took Xue Xueyan’s hand. “We have to go to the Xue Clan, so we have to take our leave now. However, I will leave Wan’er and Feng’er here, so you guys can discuss things with them.”
Without waiting for their reply, Chen Li took Xiao Shijian and Xue Xueyan away, but Di Chen followed them because she was more interested in seeing the Xue Clan, especially since they lived in a snowy area.
Di Xiong tried to explain the situation to them, seeing their disappointed expressions. “Old Madam Ling, Long Wang has always been closed to people he doesn’t know, and he was also like that towards us at the beginning, so I hope you don’t blame him. Since this is your family reunion, I won’t bother you guys, and I’m going to go see my old friend.”
Following his departure, Xuanyuan Ling asked Xuanyuan Wan’er. “If I may ask, how old are you now? After all, your grandmother was our ancestor’s first daughter, and she was quite old when they left earth.”
“I’m over five hundred years old now.” Not only were the three old ladies shocked by Xuanyuan Wan’er’s confession, but Xuanyuan Lingyan, who was standing behind them, also had her jaw dropped. “I didn’t lie to you, and my daughter is also over five hundred years old now.”
Xuanyuan Lingyan immediately moved in front of the mother and daughter, and she observed their faces seriously, finding it hard to believe that they were that old. However, her face and appearance were no less youthful; even Xuanyuan Feng’er looked younger than her. “Are you both really over five hundred years old now, Big Sis Wan’er? How can you two look this young?”
“We are old indeed.” Xuanyuan Wan’er replied with a nod. “Actually, I can stay young like this because of my master, and she gave me something that allows me to maintain my youth. As for my daughter, she inherited that thing from me, and we can never grow old because of it.”
“What do you mean by that something? Besides, why is the cultivation of both of you still at Soul Realm if you’re so old?” Xuanyuan Ning asked Xuan Wan’er, but she suddenly realized something else. “Wait a minute, I feel confused about how to address you, especially since you are in the same generation as my grandmother.”
Before responding, Xuanyuan Wan’er shook her head at Xuanyuan Ning. “Age is just a number for us cultivators, and I don’t think much about it or our generational differences, so you can call me a sister like Lingyan. I apologize in advance because I can’t tell you about that thing, especially since I swore to my master not to tell anyone else. As for our cultivation, we have only cultivated for a few years, so we are still weak now.”
“Ning’er, you can ask the servants to prepare two guest rooms for them, and we will hold a small banquet to welcome them.” Xuanyuan Ning nodded in agreement with her grandmother and left directly, while Xuanyuan Ling spoke to Xuanyuan Wan’er. “Even though we only met today, we are both descendants of Ancestor Lanyin, so I hope you and your daughter are willing to stay in this clan for a few days.”
“We would be happy with that, Sister Ling.” Xuanyuan Wan’er then said to her. “Back then, I always thought that my daughter and I were the last descendants of our Xuanyuan Clan, but I learned about this clan after Brother Long brought us to this realm. If not for Di Chen, who told us about you, we might still keep having the same thoughts, so I asked Lingyan to arrange a meeting for us. Now that we have met, I feel relieved that we are not alone, and our clan still exists even in the higher realms.”
“We are also happy to meet you two, Sister Wan’er.” It was Xuanyuan Xing who said it to her. “I heard from Lingyan that you and your daughter live in Southern River City, and you also joined the Silver Sword Sect now. Are you willing to move to this region and live with us?”
“Sorry, I have to decline your offer.” Xuanyuan Wan’er politely refused before explaining her reason. “Brother Long taught us how to cultivate and brought us here; his family is like our own, so we will live in the southern region with them.”
Xuanyuan Xing nodded in understanding and did not force Xuanyuan Wan’er to accept her offer. She immediately stood up from her seat. “Since this is your first time here, I want to take you two to see this clan, and I will also introduce you guys to the other members of our clan.”
This time, Xuanyuan Wan’er did not refuse Xuanyuan Xing’s offer, so she and her daughter immediately followed behind him, and she explained to them about the clan’s ins and outs.
After they left, Xuanyuan Ling spoke to her great-granddaughter. “Lingyan, I want you to have a good relationship with Long Wang, and I think it will be very good for your future.”
“Eh?” Xuanyuan Lingyan turned to her, surprised. “What do you mean by that, Great-Grandmother? Are you thinking of setting me up with him? I don’t know much about him, and he’s also a dual-cultivator with many wives, so I wouldn’t possibly be interested in him.”
“You misunderstood what I meant.” Xuanyuan Ling expressed this while shaking her head. “There is no such thing as matchmaking in our clan, except for your uncle, Xuanyuan Jingtian. I don’t know Long Wang, but I have lived long enough to be aware of many things, so I can see that he is a cultivator with a bright future, and he didn’t lie to us about Ancestor Lanyin. Honestly, I would like to go to the higher realms to meet her and the members of our clan who live there, but my talent has already run out, as have your grandmother and mother, and we won’t be able to develop further, so we won’t have the chance to do that.”
“But-”
“Listen to me first.” With a soft sigh, Xuanyuan Ling interrupted Xuanyuan Lingyan. “You are different from us, especially since you are still very young, and your talent is also much higher than ours. That’s why I don’t want you to waste your talent and end up like us, and I’m sure that establishing a good relationship with Long Wang is the key to achieving your dream of becoming a top swordsman like Ancestor Lanyin, so I hope you are willing to listen to my words and try to build a relationship with him.”
Xuanyuan Lingyan clenched her fists, and she certainly wanted to achieve her dream, but she did not want to do it alone and leave her family behind. “Great-grandmother, I won’t promise you anything, but I will try to establish a good relationship with Long Wang. However, if you think like that, you are wrong, and I will take all of you away to the higher realms after I am truly strong, so all of you can fulfill your dreams of reuniting with Ancestor Lanyin and the others.”
Xuanyuan Ling smiled while listening to her words. “All right, we will wait for you to become strong and take us to higher realms.”
