***
Helian Min returned to her ancestral home, which was the old man's wish.
Even when he was seriously ill, the old man had already written his will. He even hired a lawyer and recorded audio and video materials as insurance.
When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; the world loses a flame of soul.
When Helian Min stepped into the main family compound, the first thing she felt was a chilling aura.
The old man's trip to Ancheng to see Helian Min was not entirely without effect.
At least Helian Min changed his mind, because the old man not only resolved the confusion that had plagued him for many years, but also gave him a reason to return.
As long as he still bears the surname Helian, there is no way for him to truly sever ties with the Helian family.
So no matter what happens in the end, Helian Min will have to return to the Helian family.
Having received their master's instructions, all of the non-family disciples that Old Master Helian had taken in, except for the one who accompanied the old master that day, gathered together before the coffin today.
"You still have the nerve to come back!"
There were, of course, quite a few people who did not welcome Helian Min.
After all, in the eyes of those older people, Helian Min was just a young boy, and what qualifications did he have to inherit the Helian family?
Although the old man left a will that was written very clearly, it was enough to ensure that he was of sound mind when he made the will.
There are plenty of opportunities to explore this topic.
"Grandpa's gone, and now you're here playing the dutiful grandson? Where were you all this time?"
"You ungrateful wretch, Grandpa raised you for nothing."
...
Along the way, there were people who watched coldly, people who were just watching the show, and people who glared angrily. Their gazes toward Helian Min all revealed some hostility.
Some people even couldn't bring themselves to shoot sharp arrows with their eyes, so that Helian Min would never be able to take another step forward.
They thought that Helian Min in front of them was just an ignorant boy, but they didn't know how rare it was for this boy to still maintain a pure heart after experiencing so much.
Helian Min was not unaware of the controversy surrounding passing the throne to his grandson instead of his son.
However, having promised the old man, he was never afraid.
“We will not believe you if you have not contributed anything to the Helian family.”
A person without a sense of family cannot gain the trust of others; they are the center and backbone of the family.
As Helian Min walked into the mourning hall, someone even came out and shoved her.
Once someone takes the lead, those who want to take advantage of the chaos become even more enthusiastic.
They all crowded around.
The scene became so chaotic that it was difficult to control.
But for Helian Min, all of these things were foreseeable.
His coming here was not the result of any consultation with anyone else.
The Helian family has been able to survive for so long because they naturally have their own set of survival-of-the-fittest methods.
That is the most primitive form of obedience.
The one who gives orders to the people must command everyone to obey whatever they say.
There has never been a special case throughout the thousands of years.
Such a domineering position meant that the person who would become the head of the Helian family would have to be carefully selected and rigorously tested.
Helian Min underwent the most brutal testing and training; he was the only candidate the old man had his eye on.
His excellence is beyond doubt, so becoming the head of the family is a must.
Escaping the crowded chaos, the boy's usually ethereal and indifferent gaze suddenly became fierce and unyielding. His innate noble air made those who thought Helian Min was easy to bully unconsciously begin to back away.
This boy is different from them.
It wasn't just those who were taking advantage of the situation; at this moment, Helian Min herself also had this clear understanding.
"From today onwards, the residence of the Helian family will belong to me."
The young man's clear and refined voice was articulate enough that even those who had been whispering and muttering to themselves could hear him clearly.
Of all the people, perhaps the only one who would truly be happy for Helian Min's return and succession is Helian Xin.
Her idolized brother stood before her once again.
This time, the distance was so close that Helian Xin had the illusion that she could actually touch him.
Although Helian Xin herself knew that she couldn't even make Helian Min really remember her.
However, she was still gratified that when the Helian family began to fall apart because of the patriarch and her grandfather's will, Helian Min stood up.
His appearance signifies that Helian Min has begun to have a new center of cohesion.
Although the boy still looked a little thin, his words were powerful and his gaze was dignified, bearing a resemblance to the old man's expression.
Although the old man has passed away, his influence remains.
Those who, like rats, spend their lives wallowing in the gutter still harbor some apprehension.
Faced with such a situation, he still chose to protect himself.
The remaining few who were the most aggressive were determined to cause trouble for Helian Min.
However, if things really escalated to the point of no return in front of the old man's funeral hall, they might become the target of public criticism, so those people all behaved themselves a bit.
Helian Min adhered to the old customs.
Before the solemn mourning hall, he knelt upright, without the slightest perfunctory gesture.
Helian was worried about him. Although he was supposed to be filial to his grandfather, the human body is not made of iron. Kneeling in front of the mourning hall without eating or drinking would be too much for his body.
