Chapter 97: Shen Yuanlong’s Honest Words
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Oh? The ancestor has come out of seclusion?”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were both surprised because they knew how badly injured Shen Yaunlong was back then.
Because of that, they did not dare to disturb him when the Shen family was challenged by the Lin family.
But now, the ancestor had come out of seclusion.
This made the two of them instinctively have a bad feeling.
They did not delay and quickly arrived at Huawu Peak where Shen Yuanlong was.
As soon as they arrived at Huawu Peak, they saw Shen Yuanlong sitting there.
At this moment, Shen Yuanlong’s hair had completely turned white, and the aura on his body had become unprecedentedly weak.
It was evident that he was really not far from the end of his life.
At this moment, when he saw Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan coming over, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
“Chengxuan, Ruyan, you’re here.”
As he spoke, he gestured for the two of them to take a seat before continuing, “I’ve already heard about what happened before.
You did very well.
It’s our Shen family’s blessing to have the two of you.”
Jiang Chengxuan said humbly, “Ancestor, you flatter me.”
“No, I’m not flattering you.”
Shen Yuanlong shook his head seriously.
“I know very well that the two of you will definitely go far in the future.
Therefore, there are some things I need to tell you in advance.”
Shen Yuanlong said, “In the future, if you really reach a certain height, you can consider breaking away from the Shen family and starting your own family. I’ll tell your brother, Shen Daoming, about this later.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s expressions changed at the same time.
However, before they could speak, Shen Yuanlong waved his hand and continued,
“Listen to me first.
I’m not joking with you about this. I’m giving you a sincere suggestion.
There will be a day when the Shen family is too small for you. It can accommodate you for a while, but it can’t accommodate you forever.
Only the sky is big enough for the true dragon to roam.
If we really force you to be bound to the Shen family, it will be harmful to both you and the Shen family.
These are my honest words. I hope you can understand.”
Hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan fell silent.
They knew their own situation best.
Some things were indeed as Shen Yuanlong had said.
Shen Yuanlong continued, “Therefore, in the future, whether you establish your own family or sect, I only hope that within the limits of your ability, you can spare some strength to help the Shen family when we really need help. This is also the only request I have for you.”
He actually wanted to say these words on the day Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan became Dao companions.
However, at that time, it was not appropriate for him to say it.
This was more or less his last wish for the couple, and it was also his heartfelt words to them.
“Ancestor…”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan had mixed feelings.
To be honest, so far, Jiang Chengxuan felt a good sense of belonging in the Shen family.
He also liked the current atmosphere in the Shen family.
However, he also knew that what bound people together was their bloodline. Since Jiang Chengxuan was not born to a member of the Shen family, strictly speaking, he could not be considered a direct descendant of the Shen family. The truth was the truth.
Just as Shen Yuanlong had said, he and Shen Ruyan would eventually climb high.
At that time, if he and Shen Ruyan had their own descendants…
Then, after countless generations, it was hard to say if the Shen family was still the Shen family or an ancillary family of the Jiang family.
If Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were only the most ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivators, then there was no need to think about these things. Naturally, they would rely on the Shen family.
However, the problem was that their future achievements were almost predictable. They would definitely surpass the current Shen family.
That way, in order to avoid any future misunderstandings and conflicts, it was necessary to clarify their relationships and some things in advance.
Fortunately, both Shen Yuanlong and Shen Mengxue were sensible people.
When Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan became Dao companions, they already knew this. That was why Shen Yuanlong said this to the two of them.
Moreover, these words were most suitable for Shen Yuanlong, the ancestor of the Shen family, to say.
At this moment.
Shen Yuanlong looked at the two of them and smiled again.
“Alright, let’s talk about your plans next.
If I’m not wrong, it’s almost time for the two of you to prepare to advance to the Violet Palace Realm, right?”
“Yeah.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not deny it.
They also told Shen Yuanlong about their plans to go out.
When Shen Yuanlong heard it, he was slightly surprised, but he immediately nodded in understanding.
“That’s right. It’s indeed time for you to go out and travel.
While I can still hold on, go out if you have to.
However, you have to be very careful.
It’s best to do it quietly. Don’t alarm too many people.”
At this point, Shen Yuanlong hesitated slightly, but in the end, he said to the two of them,
“But then again, if it’s possible, I still hope that you can go and meet your Ancestor Mengxue. This is something she instructed me a long time ago. Of course.
If you really want to see her, you still have to do it secretly. This is a communication jade talisman that belongs to her. When the time comes, you can use it to contact her.
In this way, you won’t alarm anyone.”
As he spoke, Shen Yuanlong took out a milky-white jade talisman from his body and handed it to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan..
