Chen An watched eagerly as Ji Wutan solemnly handed a box to Lu Hongyi.
He was very curious about what was given to him, so he reached out to take it: "Wife, let me see what it is. My father gave it to me...it must not be too shabby!"
“Bang!”
Chen An's hand was opened by Ji Wutian, and he heard Ji Wutian say in a bad mood: "I gave it to my daughter-in-law. Hongyi gave birth to a son and a daughter. What contribution have you made?"
Hearing this, Chen An became very upset. If I hadn't made any contribution, how could I have given birth?
But then, Ji Wutian shouted, "Follow me, kid!"
"Where are you going?"
"Just go!" Ji Wutan said impatiently.
Chen An was originally looking for his father, but he didn't expect that he would come, which saved him the trouble of sending someone to contact him.
So he followed Ji Wutan out.
Lu Hongyi suddenly asked, "Where are you going?"
Immediately afterwards, Chen An saw what it meant to be treated differently.
Ji Wutian said with a pleasant face: "Don't worry, Hongyi, I just asked Ji Ba to discuss something, he won't go far!"
"Okay, my daughter-in-law will prepare some wine and food, and then have Chen Tian and Chen Xi come over to meet their grandfather."
Ji Wutian was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Great!"
An old man and a young boy flew out of the palace.
At this moment, in a deserted place, Ji Wutian glanced at Chen An with a resentful look: "You kid, you won't stop until you empty my family's wealth, right?"
Chen An was stunned: "Is Dad's life out there so miserable?"
"Miserable? What do you mean?"
"You only gave Hongyi one thing and gave me nothing. You've already drained all our family savings. You're really too poor!"
"After so many years, I haven't seen you. You've grown so powerful that you dare to make up stories about me!" Ji Wutan glared.
That square face, with its big eyes, is quite imposing.
Chen An rolled his eyes: "You said it yourself!"
Ji Wutian glanced at Chen An and said, "Don't say that. You two are really like husband and wife. I just gave Hongyi a gift, and Hongyi is bringing the children. How can I not give gifts to the two children?"
"It's what you deserve. What's there to complain about?" Chen An retorted unconvincedly.
"No, at least you have to change the surname of your two children to Ji, and you should change it too. Let's not talk about it before, now you should recognize your ancestors and return to your roots!"
Hearing this, Chen An remembered the name of the Ji family... and was immediately filled with resentment.
But this is the intention of his father in this world. If Chen An refuses directly, he might get beaten.
After thinking for a moment, Chen An said seriously, "Dad, you're too narrow-minded. You and I are both cultivators, standing tall between heaven and earth. Why do we care about a code name? A name is nothing!"
Ji Wutian was stunned: "The name is nothing, the surname is important, how come you are also a member of my Ji family!"
"Didn't I get kicked out of the Ji family?" Chen An said unhappily.
"I'm not dead yet, who dares?"
"That old fellow Ji Ding!"
"That depends on whether I agree or not. Hey, you little brat, didn't you say the name is just a code name? I asked you to change it. What's so embarrassing or troubling about it?"
Ji Wutan glared at Chen An with a fierce look in his eyes.
Chen An suddenly sighed and said inexplicably sadly: "Dad, do you know why I don't want to change?"
"Why?"
"Because it concerns my destiny!"
"Nonsense, can a name really affect one's destiny?"
"Really? Back then, you were so cruel and threw me out to fend for myself. When I was about to starve to death, a traveling fortune teller saved me and told me that my fate was flawed, full of disasters, and I would probably never grow up!"
After hearing this, Ji Wutan looked at Chen An suspiciously, as if he didn't quite understand what this...had to do with his name.
Chen An sighed, "Luckily, this physiognomist gave me the name Chen An after some calculations. He also said that it means peace and safety, and that my name is in line with the principles of yin and yang and the five elements. Therefore, it will bring me good luck and help me escape danger and survive in desperate situations!"
"Why do I so disbelieve it?" Ji Wutan frowned and stared at Chen An.
Chen An said seriously: "I didn't believe it before, but now, I have to believe it!"
"Why?"
"You know how I fought Ji Ding in the polar regions and died of exhaustion. But now I'm alive again. Was it a chance encounter? Now that I think about it, that fortune teller was definitely a god, maybe a celestial being sent down to earth to show me the way to immortality. Back then, when you were so cruel and kept me captivated, I endured so many dangers and hardships. But I was able to turn danger into safety every time. It must be because of my name!"
Ji Wutan looked at Chen An, who was extremely serious, and frowned.
Chen An said solemnly, "You are my father. Do you want to see me suffer so much? If you really want to..."
Having said that, Chen An patted his chest several times, his face full of grief.
"Dad, if you are so resolute, what else can a son say... Alas, I can only blame my bad luck..."
Ji Wutan was speechless. He asked this kid to change his name back and acted as if he had become a big sinner.
He said angrily, "Okay, okay, stop looking so sad. It's up to you whether to change or not!"
Chen An immediately breathed a sigh of relief. For Chen An, this name was not just a code name, but also a wish.
This name carries the sorrow and joy, absurdity and growth of his previous life.
Seeing that Ji Wutan was no longer bothered by the name, Chen An quickly got down to business.
"Dad, there is something very important that I need your help with!"
