At this time, the white-haired old woman held Yun Zheng's hands, with a kind smile on her face, and said, "Zheng'er, tell your great-grandmother about your life in Dongzhou."
Nanjiang Patriarch nodded in agreement, "Yes, how did you get from Dongzhou to Zhonglingzhou?"
Seeing their curiosity, Yun Zheng told them everything she needed to know, and also mentioned her relatives who were still in Dongzhou - her grandfather and aunt.
"My father's name is Yun Junyue. My grandfather said that he came to Zhonglingzhou with my mother more than ten years ago. I don't know where he is now."
Speaking of this, a hint of unknown meaning flashed in Yun Zheng's eyes. She always felt that her father and mother were not together now.
If Dad and Mom were together, then why did Wu Lin say that Dad left something for her in Shen'an Sect?
My mother should be very famous in the Zhutian Realm. If she showed up, there would definitely be news about her, but there has been no news in the past ten years.
That proves that my father and mother have most likely separated.
The white-haired old woman, Diqian, noticed her dejected expression, tightened her hand slightly, and asked slowly:
"But do you miss your father and mother?"
"Yes." Yun Zheng answered casually. She really did. Ever since she could remember, she had never felt the love of her parents.
It would be a lie to say I have no regrets.
But fortunately, she not only has parents, but also other relatives.
"How much hardship did you endure to reach Zhongling Province, kid? If you hadn't come, we old guys wouldn't even know you existed..."
The hoarse voice of the white-haired old woman Di Qin was filled with sighs and heartache. Her cloudy eyes stared at Yun Zheng with a hint of tenderness as she said, "The Di family will be your home from now on."
"You are a member of our Di family and the heir to our direct lineage. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just tell my great-grandmother, and I, Di Qian, will tear that person to pieces."
Di Qi's voice was slow but firm and powerful, without any falsehood.
Everyone: “!!!”
The other three ancestors looked at each other, and saw helpless smiles in each other's eyes.
Yun Zheng looked at the white-haired old woman in front of her with complicated eyes. It felt like a warm current was injected into her, warming her limbs.
"Great-grandmother..."
The white-haired old woman Di Qian's heart softened when she saw her silly look.
In the Di family, the only surviving direct descendants are Di Qian, Di Yuan, Di Nian, Di Lan... and Yun Zheng.
She naturally dotes on the younger generations of her lineage.
As for the three ancestors Di Nanjiang, Di Fengtiao and Di Chuyun, they are from the side branch.
Yun Zheng came back to her senses and smiled at Di Qin.
"Grandmother, you said it, and I'm leaning on your shoulders."
"No problem." The white-haired old woman smiled kindly.
Yun Zheng was chatting animatedly with Patriarch Di Qian, with the other three ancestors occasionally interjecting a few words, but the seven elders present felt very uncomfortable.
Emperor Yuan hesitated to speak many times.
He, the authentic and legitimate grandfather, hadn't said a word yet.
About half an hour later.
The white-haired old woman Diqian stood up with the help of a cane, and the other three ancestors also stood up.
Seeing this, everyone stood up to show their respect.
The white-haired old woman, Diqin, had sharp eyes and an aura of authority. She said in a deep voice, "I've calculated that June 19th, half a month from now, will be an auspicious day..."
"Emperor Yuan, I would like to invite all the forces in the heavens to come and watch on June 19th—"
"Yun Zheng's succession as the Young Master of the Di Family!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the seven elders from the side branches changed.
The Sixth Elder said in disbelief, "Ancestor Di Qian, isn't this too early?"
The Second Elder's eyes dimmed slightly. He carefully considered his words and agreed, "That's right. Yun Zheng just returned on her first day and hasn't gotten familiar with the Di Family environment yet. Besides... Youyou is also qualified to compete for the position of Young Master of the Di Family!"
"Ancestor Di Qian, why don't you test Youyou and Yunzheng at the same time? Whoever wins will become the young master of the Di family!" suggested the fourth elder.
The Great Elder's gaze swept over the other six elders.
"I think Yun Zheng is a good choice for the Young Master of the Di Family. At least she has blood-red pupils. You all know what it means to have blood-red pupils, right?"
"But... this is unfair to Youyou." The Sixth Elder frowned slightly and looked at Di Yuan.
"Master, this one is your granddaughter, and the other is your granddaughter-in-law. You are both a piece of flesh and blood. Shouldn't you let them compete fairly?"
Yun Zheng was listening to these words and was stunned for a moment. How could she not know what kind of young master she would be when she came to the Di family?
She didn't want to be the young master of the Di family.
Because she doesn't want to be trapped in one place because of an identity. Even though this identity is good, it is not what she wants after all!
What she wants is to become stronger and protect the ones she loves, to go to a wider place with Fengyun and her friends, and to continue looking for her parents!
He also continued to follow Rong Shuo's footsteps and fight alongside him.
Yun Zheng's eyes were determined. She took two steps forward and knelt on one knee in front of the white-haired old woman. She placed one hand on her chest and lowered her head slightly.
Her voice is cool and bright.
"Grandmother, I'm sorry. Yun Zheng may not be able to live up to your expectations. Yun Zheng may not stay long on this trip and cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Young Master of the Di Family."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell into silence.
The second elder, the fourth elder, and the sixth elder, who had just been arguing, were speechless for a moment.
The position of the young master of the Di family that so many people dreamed of was given up by her.
The Great Elder frowned and opened his mouth, wanting to persuade her, but because the four ancestors were present, he swallowed his words back silently.
The white-haired old woman Di Qian lowered her eyes to look at her figure, and suddenly remembered a scene from more than 20 years ago. How similar!
Both mother and daughter refused the position of the young master of the Di family, and the reasons for their refusal were extremely similar.
The white-haired old woman Di Qian pursed her lips tightly, and an extremely powerful aura emanated from her body, making everyone present dare not say a word.
a long time.
"Zheng'er, you have to think it over carefully. Do you really not want the position of Young Master of the Di Family?"
Yun Zheng lowered her head, but her voice was firm, "Zheng'er has made up her mind. I know I can't shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Di family. Please, Grandmother, revoke your order."
The seven elders were also a little surprised. They didn't expect Yun Zheng to refuse so cleanly and neatly.
At this time, the white-haired old woman Di Qian sighed slightly. She bent down with the help of her crutches and stretched out a hand to help Yun Zheng up.
"Great-grandmother..." She looked up at the old woman in front of her, and at that moment she felt the sadness and loneliness coming from the old woman.
The white-haired old woman Diqian glanced at the elders and said in a deep voice, "All of you, get out."
Upon hearing this, the seven elders looked at each other in confusion, then obeyed the order and bowed and left.
Only four ancestors, Di Yuan and Yun Zheng were left.
