Yuanjing agreed when the demon—oh, no, the system—offered him the opportunity.

Chapter 408

Of course, the Chen royal family would not miss this opportunity, and they began to suppress the Jingjun Prince's Mansion as soon as they got the news. This was because ever since the children of the Jingjun Prince's Mansion had gained a foothold in the Taiyi Sect, the royal family had been inferior to the Jingjun Prince's Mansion. After enduring for many years and finally having the chance to turn things around, how could they possibly continue to tolerate it?

In an instant, the big tree of Prince Jing's Mansion fell down and broke into pieces. The clan members died or scattered, and it would never return to its former glory.

Qi State, Yonghe Town.

Zuo Wenhai and Li Shengshou stayed in their house in the small town. Zuo Yuanming and Zuo Yuanmei, one went to the city to develop, and the other has married another man. Neither of them remembered that they were from the State of Chen. They only remembered that they started from the small town of Yonghe Town.

That day, Zuo Wenhai received a letter. After reading it, he stood up suddenly, his face showing excitement. Was it... Was it that kid Yuan Jing who did it? Was the enemy of the Zuo family the destroyed Jingjun Prince's Mansion?

He and Li Sheng are both not young anymore. Although Li Sheng used to be a family servant, he now lives the life of an old man just like Zuo Wenhai.

The two men drove away the other servants and stayed in the study to talk in a low voice, discussing how likely it was that Yuan Jing had avenged the Zuo family.

Some of the children they adopted followed Zuo Yuanming and Zuo Yuanmei, while others were sent out to explore the world. At first, Zuo Wenhai did not dare to inquire about any news about the State of Chen until his two children got married and started their own families. More than ten years later, he began to secretly inquire about the news about the State of Chen, especially the capital. The only place that could be related to the immortals was there.

But there wasn't much useful information, and they couldn't make it public, or even explain it to the children.

But after decades, they also vaguely guessed that it might be related to Prince Jing's Mansion, because Prince Jing's Mansion was the most powerful in the capital of Chen State. This made Zuo Wenhai and Li Sheng even more tight-lipped and dared not reveal any information to the outside world.

Now a letter has been sent in from outside, saying that the Prince Jing's Mansion is gone. It is said that the Prince Jing's Mansion had offended a very powerful immortal, so all the backers of the Prince Jing's Mansion fell, and the Prince Jing's Mansion naturally fell apart.

The two were old, and they wiped each other's tears: "It would be great if it is true. It has been many years since we have been back to Wuqing Town, Chen State. Even the tribe members dare not worship. And as for Yuan Jing, I don't know if we can see him again before we close our eyes."

"Yes, he will. Master Yuan Jing is such a powerful man. It must be Master Yuan Jing who avenged the Zuo family." Li Sheng said firmly.

"Who are you? Why are you in our house?" Suddenly there were shouting voices outside. An outsider broke into the Zuo family, and a servant was calling the old man loudly.

Zuo Wenhai and Li Sheng supported each other and walked out quickly. As soon as they came out of the study and saw the two young men who suddenly appeared in the yard, Zuo Wenhai and Li Sheng's tears immediately flowed down.

Zuo Wenhai staggered over and said, "Yuan Jing, are you really back to see Uncle Wenhai? Is Uncle Wenhai seeing things?"

After Yuan Jing and Ning Yan left Taiyi Sect, they did not rush back to the sect. Instead, they thought about coming back to visit the Zuo family first, especially Zuo Wenhai. Otherwise, if they were any later, they might not be able to see them. He also wanted to come back and tell them that he had avenged the Zuo family, and that the people of the Zuo family did not have to hide anymore, but could hold their heads high.

Yuan Jing stepped forward quickly and supported Zuo Wenhai: "Uncle Wenhai, you are not seeing things. It is me, Yuan Jing, who is back to visit you and Li Sheng."

Li Sheng hurriedly wiped his tears behind him. He was so happy that Master Yuan Jing still remembered him.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Zuo Wenhai shouted "Okay" three times, wiped away his tears, and tightly grasped Yuan Jing's hand and said, "You must have had a hard time on the journey. Uncle Wenhai, can you ask someone to make you a delicious meal?"

We haven't seen each other for a long time. I have forgotten how reserved I was when facing Yuan Jing, who is of different status. Yuan Jing is almost the same as before, except that he is a little older and more mature.

Yuan Jing nodded in agreement, and Li Sheng happily supervised the chef in the house to prepare a big meal.

Yuan Jing took Zuo Wenhai into the study to talk and introduced Ning Yan to him. Of course, Zuo Wenhai only thought that he was Yuan Jing's friend, and of course this friend must also be an immortal, so he respected Ning Yan very much.

"Yuan Jing, the matter of Prince Jing's Mansion..."

Yuan Jing smiled and said, "Has Uncle Wen Hai received the news?"

"Yes, I just got it today."

Yuan Jing: "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Yes, Yuan Jing has avenged the Zuo family. No matter who personally did it or who gave the order to eradicate the Zuo family, they have all received retribution. Uncle Wenhai can go back to Wuqing Town in Chenguo or stay here. He doesn't have to live in hiding anymore."

"Great, great!" Zuo Wenhai was so excited that he almost choked. Of course, with Yuan Jing around, he could still be alive and kicking. "What happened in the first place? Can I tell Uncle Wenhai now?"

I have kept this secret for decades, and I just want to know why the people of the Zuo family suffered such a fate.

Yuan Jing sighed and told Zuo Wenhai the truth. He could not avoid the issue of his biological father Zuo Wenlu. Zuo Wenhai was extremely shocked when he heard this. He had never thought that the missing Zuo Wenlu was still alive. He was not missing but was taken to another side by an immortal to practice Taoism. As a result, the woman who loved him ordered the destruction of all members of the Zuo family. Zuo Wenlu almost married that woman?

This time Zuo Wenhai was so angry that he nearly fainted. Yuan Jing poured him a cup of tea with elixir powder added, so after drinking it, Zuo Wenhai's face became rosy and healthy again, and he couldn't faint even if he wanted to.

"Uncle Wenhai, I don't recognize this father, and we may even become enemies in the future."

"We don't recognize him either! We in the Zuo family don't want to take advantage of him!" Zuo Wenhai said angrily. What made him most angry was not that the Zuo family was exterminated because of Zuo Wenlu, but that for all these years, Zuo Wenlu never wanted to go back to the Zuo family to take a look. You know, his wife and children were still there when he left, especially the child Yuan Jing. He was so young when he left home, how could Zuo Wenlu be so cruel?

Zuo Wenhai finally calmed down. Although Zuo Wenlu was Yuan Jing's biological father, the father and son were completely different people. One cultivated immortality to the point of being cold-blooded and ruthless, while the other was obsessed with revenge and would remember to come back to visit him after he had exacted his revenge. It would be better not to have an immortal like Zuo Wenlu who had become so inhumane.

While waiting for dinner, Zuo Wenhai asked Yuan Jing: "Do you want to meet Yuan Ming and Yuan Mei and their children? They are all married and their children are grown up. They are no longer your brothers and sisters when they stand with you."

Yuan Jing nodded and said, "Call them back to see us. Bring the children with you. I want to see if there are any children in the Zuo family who can cultivate immortality. I can bring them with me when I return. Even if Uncle Wenhai wants to go to the immortal world with us, that's fine."

Zuo Wenhai was extremely proud. He, a mortal, could also go to the world of immortal cultivation. However, he didn't need to go and cause trouble for Yuan Jing. Yuan Jing had done enough for the Zuo family, especially with the support of his biological father. He said excitedly, "Okay, okay, I'll send someone to send a letter and ask them all to come back."

Yuan Jing is indeed different from Zuo Wenlu. Zuo Wenlu drew a clear line with the Zuo family as soon as he went to the world of immortals, but his original body was still a mortal when he died. What he cared about most were the members of the Zuo family. Apart from revenge, his only wish was to let the Zuo family continue to develop. Therefore, Yuan Jing, who inherited this body, was willing to support the Zuo family for the sake of his original body.

Zuo Wenhai immediately sent someone to deliver a letter, and the servants of the Zuo family only then realized that the two people who suddenly appeared in the Zuo family were immortals, and one of them was a member of the Zuo family. So when they went to deliver the letter, they said that the immortal from the Zuo family had returned, and asked the Zuo family members to return to the old house in Yonghe Town. Zuo Yuanming and Zuo Yuanmei couldn't believe it when they received the letter, and thought the servants were talking nonsense.

The brother and sister, both in the city, met first, and received the same news.

Zuo Yuanming is older than Zuo Yuanmei. Now that he has calmed down, he recalled something: "Yuanmei, do you still remember me? I remember that we had an elder brother, but unfortunately that brother seems to have left the Zuo family a long time ago. We asked Uncle Wenhai about it, and Uncle Wenhai said that the brother left for some reason. Could it be that he left to cultivate immortality and become an immortal?"

Yuan Mei's impression was extremely vague, because their older children had already started families and were about to become grandfathers and grandmothers. She said distressedly, "It seems like there is, but it also seems like there isn't."

"Whether there is one or not, we have to go back. And we have to take the children with us. Don't forget. Forget it. I'll find you to go together then."

"good."

An immortal has returned to the Zuo family. Both Zuo Yuanming's wife and Zuo Yuanmei's husband were very shocked. They had never known that there was an immortal in the Zuo family. When they heard that the children were being brought back, they hurriedly called their children to come along. Perhaps the immortal would plan to take their children with him to practice Taoism. It would be such an honor for their own family to have an immortal. But after only hearing that an immortal had returned to the Zuo family, the people in the city started to treat them differently.

The two siblings returned to Yonghe Town with their family. When they entered the old house and saw Yuan Jing, who looked to be about 20 years old, they rubbed their eyes. Is this the immortal from the Zuo family?

Zuo Yuanming cried out, "It's Brother Yuan Jing, right? I finally remembered. Brother Yuan Jing is exactly the same as he was back then. He hasn't changed in decades."

Yuan Jing smiled and nodded at the two of them. Seeing Yuan Jing smiling so beautifully, the brother and sister felt a little reserved. They seemed to be of such age, but Yuan Jing was like their child, a generation apart.

Zuo Wenhai came out to maintain the situation, the matter of accepting disciples could be put off until later, and the brother and sister were first told about the Zuo family's affairs. Because they had been hiding for decades, the brother and sister vaguely remembered their childhood. Although they did not remember clearly, some things were still traceable, such as they were not from Yonghe Town, where their parents and relatives had gone, and that they were richer than other families in the town. The capital for Zuo Yuanming to do business in the city was given by his uncle Wenhai, and the martial arts they had practiced since childhood made them much stronger than others, otherwise they would not have been able to take root in the city.

It turned out that they were rescued by an immortal they met by chance, and the immortal accepted Yuan Jing as his apprentice. In order to take revenge, Yuan Jing went to the immortal world to practice immortality until now, and finally he got his revenge and knocked down the big tree of Chen Guojing County Prince's Mansion. Even though they were in Qi State, they knew the power of Chen Guojing County Prince's Mansion, and that Jing County Prince's Mansion had fallen apart not long ago. They didn't expect that it was their brother Yuan Jing who did it. The confrontation behind the scenes was beyond their imagination.

Yuan Jing did not participate in the discussion of whether to return to Chen or stay in Qi. Although Zuo Wenhai wanted to return to Chen, Zuo Yuanming and Zuo Yuanmei had already taken root in Qi. Their wives and husbands were also Qi people and could not be separated from Qi. Therefore, they could only go back to worship their ancestors and then move the ancestral graves to Qi.

They dealt with the matters in hand and then returned to Chen State together. The land where the Zuo family's old house was originally was occupied by someone else a long time ago. However, the royal family of Chen State knew why the Prince Jing's Mansion declined, because a family was wiped out and the descendants of the family came out to take revenge. So after receiving the news, they sent people to Wuqing Town overnight. Therefore, when Zuo Wenhai and others arrived in Wuqing Town, the land where the old house was originally was already occupied and a new house had been built, waiting for the owner to move in.

The royal family of Chen State hoped to keep the Zuo family in Chen State, because the Zuo family's backing was too strong. Staying in Chen State would undoubtedly increase the weight of Chen State. But if the Zuo family wanted to leave, the royal family of Chen State would never dare to stop them, because the news coming back from the world of immortal cultivation was too shocking. Who would have thought that the Zuo family would produce two great figures.

The deaths of those monks in Prince Jing’s Mansion were not unjust at all.

The older generation in Wuqing Town still remembered the Zuo family. They originally thought that all the members of the Zuo family were burned to death in the fire, but they did not expect that there were still some survivors. Seeing that even the big shots in the city came in person to receive them, it was known that the Zuo family was very different now. At the same time, news also spread that there was an immortal in the Zuo family.

It was only then that the Chen royal family learned that not only Zuo Yuanjing survived, but other members of the Zuo family had been hiding in Qi. If they had stayed in Chen, they might not have been able to escape the clutches of Prince Jing's Mansion. The royal family was happy about the collapse of Prince Jing's Mansion, but at the same time they gritted their teeth and secretly hated Prince Jing's Mansion for bringing implicate to the entire Chen State.
