Chen Tianwen was already in the reception room, waiting for about half an incense stick's time.

He quietly sipped his tea while observing his surroundings.

It can only be said that the Chen family truly deserves to be one of the three major families in Yunzhou; even their reception room is incredibly grand.

At least in terms of appearance alone, it surpasses Chifeng Tower by a few points and is already comparable to the Divine Sword Sect.

Compared to the main branch's mansion, their original residence in the desolate city was worse than a pigsty.

Chen Tianwen couldn't help but sigh.

Just then, a series of footsteps came from afar.

Accompanied by the sound, a middle-aged man dressed in a steward's uniform walked into the reception room.

The man entered and bowed slightly, saying, "Sir, your name is of great importance. May we verify your lineage?"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a small red mirror, which was shrouded in a red mist and looked quite extraordinary.

"Can."

Chen Tianwen did not refuse. He stretched out his finger, forced out a drop of blood, and dripped it onto the mirror.

The next second, a dazzling red light suddenly appeared on the mirror.

A hint of surprise flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes.

"The mirror is radiating red light! You truly are the Heavenly Questioning Ancestor!"

The middle-aged man held the mirror, his voice filled with excitement.

Hearing someone of such advanced age call him "Ancestor," a hint of helplessness flashed in Chen Tianwen's eyes.

"No need to call me ancestor, just call me sir."

Chen Tianwen was both amused and exasperated.

I'm clearly not even twenty years old yet.

He was then regarded as an ancestor.

Over time, everyone started to think he was some kind of ancient monster who was thousands of years old.

"Tianwen...Sir, I will go and inform the Third Elder right away!"

A strange look flashed across the middle-aged manager's face, but he still changed his address for Chen Tianwen to "Sir".

He immediately bowed and left the reception room.

Chen Tianwen had just picked up his teacup, but hadn't even taken a sip yet.

Then a tall figure walked in. He was wearing a blue brocade robe and had graying temples, clearly indicating that he was of high status.

"This unfilial descendant, Chen Minghe, greets Ancestor Tianwen!"

With excitement on his face, Chen Minghe entered the reception room and knelt down with a thud.

Seeing someone call him "Ancestor" again, Chen Tianwen felt utterly helpless.

He shook his head and said, "Get up."

"Ancestor, it's so good that you're back. I've already sent someone to inform the family head."

Chen Ming sat up, tears welling in his eyes, as if he had seen a long-lost relative: "Ancestor, you have been gone for a thousand years, and your descendants have missed you every moment. Now that you have returned..."

"Stop! Stop!"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Tianwen interrupted him.

This long string of words completely baffled Chen Tianwen: "What ancestor? What thousand years have passed?"

Chen Tianwen was speechless. He hadn't even introduced himself yet, but everyone acted as if they knew him.

They're really good at making a scene for themselves.

Upon hearing Chen Tianwen's words, a look of blankness flashed across Chen Minghe's face.

"Aren't you the Heavenly Question Ancestor who left his family a thousand years ago to seek a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Of course not!"

Chen Tianwen's voice was resolute: "I come from the Chen family of Qingzhou. I have come here to find my relatives."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Minghe's face was instantly filled with embarrassment.

He took every precaution and was extremely careful, even bringing out a blood-stained mirror, but he still mistook the person for someone else.

The thought that he, the dignified third elder of the Chen family, had actually knelt down to a junior member of a branch family was unbearable.

A surge of anger rose within him: "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Chen Tianwen raised an eyebrow, not backing down at all, and said, "You didn't ask either?!"

After he entered the Chen family's gate.

Apart from the middle-aged manager who asked him to take a blood test, he didn't say a word to anyone else.

"You, you, you!"

As the third elder of the Chen family, Chen Minghe was used to a life of luxury and no one had ever dared to contradict him like this.

Moreover, this person is from a branch of the family.

The Chen family's branch and main branch may differ by only one word, but their strength and status are worlds apart.

Like a big tree.

The main branch of the Chen family is like the trunk of a tree.

And the myriad branches are all leaves on a big tree.

Even if all the branches were combined, their strength would still be less than that of the main branch.

Therefore, people from the main lineage are inherently superior to those from the branches. Even the heads of the branches tremble with fear and dare not utter a sound when faced with Chen Minghe's reprimands.

Now, a mere disciple from a minor branch dares to talk back to me.

This guy really thinks he's some kind of ancient ancestor.

Thinking of this, Chen Minghe roared, "How dare you speak to this elder like that!"

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his aura surged, unleashing the overwhelming pressure of a peak Nascent Soul cultivator.

Just as he was about to take action and punish this arrogant brat,

"Third brother!"

An excited shout carried from afar.

Accompanied by the sound, several streaks of light appeared in the sky, colorful and dazzling.

The beam of light landed on the ground, revealing several figures.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a robust build, dressed in a purple-gold robe and wearing a jade crown, exuding the unique aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Behind him were several Nascent Soul cultivators of varying ages, all dressed in luxurious attire.

The appearance of these people interrupted Chen Minghe.

"Master!"

Chen Minghe clasped his hands in greeting to the man in the purple and gold robe who was leading the group.

At the same time, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face.

She secretly regretted that she had not verified the information before informing the family head, Chen Mingxuan.

"Third brother, where is Ancestor Tianwen?"

Chen Mingxuan's face showed joy.

Upon hearing that Ancestor Tianwen had arrived, he didn't even bother to greet the Lu family delegation and hurriedly brought several family elders here.
