They all hoped that Jiang Yuan would return to his ancestral home and become the young master of the Jiang family again.
"Jiang Yuan, you need to make a statement!"
To ease the tension, Jiang Yunchen spoke up, then added, "If you are willing to acknowledge your ancestors and return to your clan, the Jiang family will unconditionally support all your actions."
"The Jiang family will once again achieve glory under your leadership!"
The entire arena fell silent. Almost every member of the Jiang family was filled with anticipation. They had seen Jiang Yuan's potential. As the first person in history to kill millions of enemies while being above his level, he would be a figure who could suppress an era. If the Jiang family could be led by him, then achieving glory would be a certainty.
Liu Zhaodi returned to Jiang Yuan's side without saying a word. She would not interfere with Jiang Yuan's choice. Regardless of whether he was a member of the Jiang family or not, her connection with the Jiang family lay with Jiang Yuan. If Jiang Yuan was unwilling, then she would have no relationship with the Jiang family at all.
Jiang Yuan smiled lightly. He stood up without any regard for rank and paced slowly in the hall. Finally, he said in an extremely calm tone, "Elders, have you forgotten that prophecy?"
"What?"
The Jiang family elder looked puzzled.
Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, then said with a touch of inexplicable sadness, "The Jiang family's rise and fall both stem from Jiang Yuan."
"this!"
Everyone present fell silent. After Hunjiang's incident, this sentence became one of the many ancestral precepts of the Jiang family. This is also the main reason why Jiang Yuan, who possessed great talent, was expelled from the Jiang family.
"Some people leave and never come back."
Jiang Yuan smiled faintly. He didn't need to hide it, because this was his thought.
The Jiang family is very strong and can be a powerful asset to him on the battlefield, but this cannot erase his past experiences, nor is it enough to change his mind.
"Jiang Yuan, you need to think this through, Jiang..."
"I've thought it through very clearly."
Jiang Yuan rudely interrupted Jiang Yunchen. He looked at Jiang Yuanjun in the room, meeting his gaze as if they were strangers, and said, "If there is nothing else, then we will take our leave."
After saying that, Jiang Yuan pulled Liu Zhaodi away from the dinner party. At this point, it didn't matter whether they ate the meal or not, because the dinner party was originally meant to welcome Jiang Yuan back and help him regain his position as the young master. But now that Jiang Yuan had refused so decisively, there was no need to continue eating.
Bang
Before Jiang Yuan had gone far, the sound of a table cracking echoed through the hall. Jiang Yuanjun, who had smashed the table in front of him, cursed angrily, "Unfilial descendant!"
Liu Zhaodi shrank her neck and followed Jiang Yuan away. She had originally wanted to help Jiang Yuan reconcile with the Jiang family, but she didn't expect Jiang Yuan to be so resolute.
They traveled in silence, and Jiang Yuan led Liu Zhaodi to the place where her parents used to live.
“This is their courtyard.” Jiang Yuan pushed open the nearly rotten bamboo gate of the courtyard and took Liu Zhaodi’s hand as they walked step by step into this courtyard that had been sealed in his mind.
"I never imagined that the place you lived in when you were a child was so elegant. Your aunt and uncle have great taste." Liu Zhaodi looked around excitedly.
Jiang Yuan didn't pay any attention and simply said, "They didn't show their cultivation level, so they lived the lives of ordinary people, usually planting grass and growing flowers."
“To be honest, if we have children in the future, I will raise them this way. Rather than letting them know about the dangers outside too early, it’s better for them to grow up in such a peaceful environment. At least…” Liu Zhaodi pondered for a while before chuckling, “A happy family life will be wonderful.”
What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Jiang Yuan seemed a little dazed. Seeing this, Liu Zhaodi immediately changed the subject, "By the way, let's go inside and take a look. I can't wait to know about your childhood."
Jiang Yuan was half-pulled and half-dragged into the wooden house. As he watched Liu Zhaodi looking at the things in the room like a curious child, a series of memories surfaced in his mind.
"You blockhead! It's our first birthday celebration, why are you throwing a gun at us?!"
"Don't cry, Yuan'er. We'll chop this broken door down and use it for firewood tomorrow. Let's see if it dares to bump into my baby again."
"Yuan'er, this is a birthday present your father prepared for you. Do you like it?"
"Yuan'er, don't climb the tree! What if you fall?"
"Yuan'er..."
"Far……"
Heartwarming scenes flashed through Jiang Yuan's mind, and his eyes welled up with tears.
"What's wrong?" Liu Zhaodi was fiddling with the little wooden horse on the ground, but she also noticed Jiang Yuan, who had been lost in thought since entering the room.
"fine!"
Jiang Yuan quickly wiped away a tear and said, "Let me show you something. It's a coming-of-age gift they left for me, but I've never had the chance to open it."
