Seeing this, Zhou Honghe, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but look at him in surprise. Was this matter really worth making a big deal out of? After all, the person was already gone. Although Lin Xiuyuan was from another clan, he still had Zhou blood flowing through his veins.
Now that the sixth branch of the Zhou family is nearly depleted, it is only a matter of course that Lin Xiuyuan should be renamed and reintegrated into the sixth branch of the Zhou family.
Upon realizing this, Zhou Honghe couldn't help but send a telepathic message to Zhou Jianwen, saying:
“Clan leader, why go to such lengths? He is still a member of our Zhou clan. That incident could be considered a minor or major matter. Now, the sixth branch is dwindling in number, ranking near the bottom among the collateral branches. If there's no turning back, this branch might be extinct! There's no need to dwell on this matter. If he's willing to change his name and surname, then rejoining the sixth branch isn't out of the question!”
However, Zhou Jianwen seemed to have a deeper thought. He acted as if he hadn't heard the voice transmission. He only glanced at the twelfth elder, Zhou Honghe, before turning his attention back to Lin Xiuyuan.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan frowned slightly, but immediately shook his head and said, "I did not come here for this matter, Clan Chief Zhou, please rest assured."
Zhou Jianwen was somewhat surprised. He had initially assumed that Lin Xiuyuan, whose aura was weak and unstable, was just an ordinary rogue cultivator who had come to seek refuge with the Zhou family.

Among them are many renowned experts, famous throughout the cultivation world, and even a considerable number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
However, most independent cultivators are unable to enter sects or aristocratic families due to insufficient aptitude, thus lacking resource support and inherited formations, making their cultivation path arduous and difficult.
In Zhou Jianwen's opinion, Lin Xiuyuan was most likely the latter, otherwise how could his aura be so weak and feeble? He looked like a half-baked Foundation Establishment cultivator, obviously not doing very well in the outside world.
But right now, Lin Xiuyuan shook his head without hesitation, which surprised him somewhat.
Perhaps she deliberately adopted this posture to save face after hearing his remarks?
Zhou Jianwen thought to himself, then smiled and said, "Oh? What brings you here today, young friend Lin?"
“This place is, after all, my mother’s ancestral home, the place where she grew up. Now that she has unfortunately passed away far away, all I want is for her to return to her ancestral home and rest in peace.”
Lin Xiuyuan said calmly.
