Chapter 2339 - 2339 2329 Returning to One's Ancestral Roots

2339: Chapter 2329: Returning to One’s Ancestral Roots 2339: Chapter 2329: Returning to One’s Ancestral Roots Long Yan is now extremely flustered.

Just a few days ago, he was forced into marriage, and now someone is trying to use his good deed to their advantage, proposing marriage to a stunning beauty across him, making such an unreasonable request, this is a first for Long Yan to hear of.

Throughout history, when a woman meets a handsome life-saver, she would offer to marry him as repayment, but if the life-saver is unattractive, the woman would say she has nothing to offer in return but would vow to be a servant in her next life to repay the young master’s kindness.

Long Yan believes that Qing Li must have fallen for his good looks.

It must be the case.

However, Long Yan now stands his ground, wondering what could make Qing Li actually say such a thing.

As for Long Qingtu, he had just managed to clean his eyes from the pepper powder; a Divine Emperor Eighth Level, an absolute Immortal in the Holy Domain, was actually plotted against with a mere pepper powder.

Now, Long Qingtu really doesn’t know what to say.

Others reunite joyfully, but he first got a blast of Sword Qi from his own grandson and then got hit with his future granddaughter-in-law’s pepper powder; now, Long Qingtu is just mentally exploding.

“You little rascal, if I catch you, I’m definitely going to spank you till your butt blossoms.”

Grinding his teeth in fury, Long Qingtu, with his Divine Emperor Eighth Level senses, is on full alert.

Unbeknownst to him, within the commercial city, others could also feel his probing power.

As the headquarters of many commercial associations, how could there not be strong figures stationed?

But since it’s Long Qingtu, people let it be.

“There you are, kid.

But why are you still fleeing for your life?”

Right now, Long Yan is running extremely fast on the streets of the commercial city because behind him, there is Qing Li, more terrifying than Long Qingtu, chasing him like a demon from hell.

She’s calling Long Yan’s name gently, yet clutching a pack of pepper powder tightly in hand.

Thinking of the miserable state of Long Qingtu, Long Yan shamefully chose to retreat; after all, the feeling of pepper powder across one’s eyes that could make a Divine Emperor Eighth Level shout in pain must not be simple.

Perhaps the pepper powder is even more powerful than treasures from ancient times.

As such, Long Yan ran into a small alley, and just then, Long Yan stopped.

It wasn’t because he wanted to stop—there was still a fierce ghost chasing him after all—but there was also a terrifying elder in front of him.

Long Qingtu, with a smile on his face, looked at Long Yan in front of him.

With the swiftness of a Divine Emperor Eighth Level, naturally, Long Yan couldn’t compete.

“My dear grandson, you’ve made it quite hard for me to find you.”

Just as Long Yan was about to back out of the alley, Qing Li walked in from the entrance with that mysterious smile still on her face, and Long Yan could clearly see the green True Qi emanating from her body.

“Hubby, why did you run off without me?”

Long Yan couldn’t respond.

If Long Yan were to now say he didn’t have money to pay the bill, would he get chopped by Qing Li?

Previously, without thinking much, he didn’t use his True Qi to sense Qing Li’s cultivation, but when at the pub, Long Yan and Qing Li had tactfully expressed that he had someone else he liked, Qing Li’s Divine Emperor Second Order pressure directly affected Long Yan.

Even Qing Li’s pressure was more terrifying than the Second Elder of the Mingyue Sect.

If Long Yan couldn’t defeat the Second Elder, he naturally couldn’t Defeat Qing Li either, so Long Yan restarted his journey of fleeing for his life, though with a bit more conviction this time.

Currently, Long Yan finds himself between a rock and a hard place—with a Divine Emperor Second Level infatuated woman behind him and a Divine Emperor Eighth Level elder in front of him, especially this old guy who keeps verbally taking advantage of him, Long Yan feels like ever since he ascended to the Holy Domain, nothing good has happened.

Who would have thought that the next second, Long Qingtu would directly embrace Long Yan in his arms?

Long Yan wanted to struggle, but seeing a tear fall from the corner of Long Qingtu’s eyes, he quieted down, perhaps Long Qingtu had really mistaken him for someone else.

For his elders, Long Yan was still dwelling in the infancy of the Long Family, that small clan, where he had his beloved Grandpa and other uncles.

Although there were misunderstandings at first, but as a family, once misunderstandings were cleared up, it was all okay.

Since Long Yan had no parents, neither in his past life nor now had he truly felt the warmth of family affection, but Long Yan didn’t take it to heart, he had friendships, he had love.

Initially, Long Yan felt he didn’t need them.

However, the moment Long Qingtu embraced him, even with Long Yan’s wisdom, he couldn’t help but get a bit teary-eyed, that familiar feeling was irresistible, and he was very sure that it was his first time meeting Long Qingtu.

Qing Li, standing behind, simply smiled watching the two of them, but a peculiar glint flickered in her eyes, yet it was unnoticed by both Long Yan and Long Qingtu, as Qing Li very well concealed her own feelings.

“Who…

who exactly are you?”

Long Yan hesitated for a moment, feeling somewhat afraid, afraid that Long Qingtu had mistaken him for someone else, as gaining and losing again would not be easy to bear.

“Long Qingtu, the Clan leader of the Eastern Ancient Clan within the Holy Domain, and your true Grandpa.”

Long Qingtu’s smile was incomparably warm, which made Long Yan even more hesitant to confirm, as if mistaken, the real grandson of Long Qingtu would probably also find it hard to return to his family.

Long Yan was a conflicted person, facing unfamiliar opponents, he could act freely, but if it were just an innocent person, Long Yan still felt somewhat improper.

As for the benefits brought by the Eastern Ancient Clan, Long Yan had never considered them, knowing that iron needs to be tough on its own; if reliant only on the prestige of a family, he might as well have chosen to comfortably be the Third Young Master of the Long Family in a lower world.

Having lived for nearly three hundred years, Long Qingtu naturally had his own way of observing expressions, and at a glance, he understood Long Yan’s thoughts, although it was only today that Long Yan was somewhat moved and revealed his true feelings.

“Rest assured, you are definitely a child of the Long Family, this I have confirmed again and again, only the bloodline of our Long Family can correspond with this Star-field.”

The smile on his face was like giving Long Yan a Calming Pill, and as for Long Yan’s father…

At this thought, Long Qingtu’s heart ached inexplicably; he was a genius, yet…

“This Star Sword Technique is just something I learned from a Senior.”

After saying this, Long Yan summoned the Lu Xian Sword and, after calling forth the Sword Spirit, pointed at the phantom of Chen Chen and spoke about the story of Chen Chen embodying the sword, which he then relayed to Long Qingtu, who stroked his beard.

“Although I don’t know where he obtained this set of swordsmanship from, it indeed is one of the swordsmanship of my Eastern Ancient Clan, but it’s not the highest tier; for example, your previous Star-field, if paired with the ancestral Star Astral Cultivation Method of mine, would definitely be more effective.”

Upon hearing this, Long Yan showed a shocked expression.

This Star Sword Technique was a swordsmanship leftover from the precursor of the Seven-Star Hall, how could it belong to the Eastern Ancient Clan, Long Yan sharply felt there must be something more to this, and his curiosity was indeed piqued.
