Jiang Ziyu returned to the Jiang Family, intending to give gifts to Emperor Ye's wife and daughter as an apology for his clan's transgressions. He found Zhou Youwei and Ye Sixing settling accounts with the Jiang Family elders, who were at a loss for how to appease them. Jiang Ziyu revealed himself as the family's ancient ancestor, but his boastful demeanor and comical interactions with Kuang Nu left the Jiang Family bewildered.

"Convinced?"

Jiang Ziyu said arrogantly.

Kuang Nu curled his lips, not saying much.

With so many people around, he couldn’t be bothered to argue with this guy.

"Enough chitchat, are you planning to handle this?"

Zhou Youwei looked at Jiang Ziyu and said calmly.

Jiang Ziyu waved his hand and said, "Wife of Emperor Ye, we’re all family."

Then, like performing a magic trick, Jiang Ziyu took out a Snow Embroidery Ball, handed it to Ye Sixing, and said with a smile, "Here, little princess, a gift for you."

Ye Sixing, however, looked puzzled and said, "Great-grandpa, didn’t you prepare many gifts for Sixing? Why are you only taking out one?"

Jiang Ziyu was dumbfounded, "Huh?"

How could this little princess be so amazing, to know in advance?

Immediately, Jiang Ziyu felt this little princess was unusual.

After a moment of daze, Jiang Ziyu began to take out the rest of the treasures one after another.

The Jiang family’s members were left dumbstruck.

"Great-grandpa!"

The Jiang Family Head couldn’t help but shout.

Jiang Ziyu raised his hand to interrupt, "Shut up."

The Jiang Family Head’s old face turned red, somewhat anxious.

Jiang Ziyu seemed not to hear, instead looking at Ye Sixing with a kindly smile, "Little princess, tell great-grandpa how you knew?"

Ye Sixing closed her eyes, showing an innocent smile, "I just knew, Sixing also knows these treasures were taken from Jiang’s family treasure vault."

Jiang Ziyu’s smile froze instantly.

The Jiang family’s members all had mournful looks.

Indeed!

All those treasures came from the Jiang family’s vault.

They didn’t even know when Great-grandpa went to the vault to take those things out.

The Jiang Family Head had wanted to speak earlier, but was stopped by Jiang Ziyu.

"Little princess, there’s something you don’t understand, the things in Jiang’s family vault were all accumulated by your great-grandpa for them."

Jiang Ziyu quickly returned to normal, laughing as he spoke, "Simply put, those things are mine, and I have the right to give them to you."

The Jiang family’s members: "..."

They really wanted to say something.

What did you leave behind back then?

Indeed.

Back in the day, you brought great glory to the Jiang family.

But we’re all family, we still remember your wasteful past stories.

If the old ancestor Medicine Heavenly Emperor hadn’t laid down such a vast family fortune, it might have been squandered by your generation.

Not to mention other things, just that Snow Embroidery Ball, that was brought down from the Heavenly Domain by Jiang Zhao!

Is this your way of saying we’re not capable of handling things?

At this moment, a group of Jiang family strongmen all felt like swearing.

Jiang Ziyu, however, seemed oblivious, still smiling and talking to Ye Sixing.

Ye Sixing didn’t take the items, instead looking at her mother, Zhou Youwei.

Zhou Youwei said gently, "If they made a mistake and want to compensate, you can accept their compensation."

Although she was Hong Yao Immortal Emperor in her past life, she was mostly solitary.

She never had a Daoist couple.

Nor did she accept disciples.

She naturally never had children.

Many things were done by her followers or admirers.

So when it comes to teaching, she could only follow her own thoughts and actions.

Ye Sixing heard and somewhat understood, feeling that she could accept these.

Thinking of this, Ye Sixing proactively accepted the treasures.

"Good child."

Jiang Ziyu said with a smile.

The Jiang family’s hearts were bleeding.

Kuang Nu was biding his time to make a move.

"Wife of Emperor Ye, take care."

Jiang Ziyu added to Zhou Youwei.

Zhou Youwei glanced at Jiang Ziyu without speaking much, taking Ye Sixing by the hand and turning to leave.

"Goodbye, Great-grandpa." Ye Sixing waved.

"Goodbye, little princess." Jiang Ziyu said with a cheerful smile.

Kuang Nu glanced at Jiang Ziyu, sending a message, "Come to the Ancestor Temple when you’re done."

Jiang Ziyu’s smile stiffened but then returned to normal as if he hadn’t heard.

After the three walked away, Jiang Ziyu stood with his back to the Jiang family members, hands behind his back.

"A bunch of foolish descendants, learn from how your great-grandpa handles things, have you learned?"

Jiang Ziyu said calmly.

The perfect image of a master.

The Jiang family’s members did not respond to Jiang Ziyu, their faces blank.

Some people covered their faces, wailing internally.

Is this our great-grandpa?

Might have been better not to resurrect!

"Hmm?"

"Did I hear someone cursing me?"

Jiang Ziyu slightly turned his head, said coldly, "Cursing behind someone’s back is a petty action, I won’t allow descendants like this in the Jiang family, step out and slap yourself twice, and I’ll spare you."

No one stepped forward.

Jiang Ziyu sighed, "The world was not born for me, Jiang Ziyu, and the Jiang family’s eternity stretches like a long night. How dare you all belittle me like this? Utterly foolish!"

"Utterly foolish!"

Bang!

Jiang Ziyu waved his big hand.

In an instant, the entire Medicine Heaven Hall.

Was left in ruins.

"Reflect well!"

Jiang Ziyu snorted coldly and vanished.

Leaving the Jiang family’s members in chaos among the ruins.

"Great-grandpa, this is the grand hall left by the old ancestor, you..."

After realizing it, someone wailed loudly.

In the distance, Jiang Ziyu heard this, the corner of his mouth quirked, muttering, "Don’t I know that’s the grand hall left by great-great-grandpa?"

"Is what great-great-grandpa left necessarily good? What’s the use of keeping that old hall when you haven’t even properly learned his Alchemy Technique?"

With that, Jiang Ziyu used mana to broadcast his voice, "Rebuild a Grandpa’s Hall, make sure to erect my statue!"

The Jiang family’s members were completely speechless.

Jiang Ziyu laughed with joy.

Hahahahaha.

The dream is fulfilled.

How exhilarating!

Jiang Ziyu always wanted to replace great-great-grandpa’s hall with his own.

What a shame there wasn’t a chance.

In living a new life, it’s about being true to oneself.

Click click.

Jiang Ziyu felt his Dao Heart reach a new level.

"In the world today, besides Emperor Ye, everyone else is trash, mere rubble, none can rival me, Jiang Ziyu!"

Jiang Ziyu commented on himself.

At this moment.

He chuckled and flew forward eagerly.

"Emperor Ye, are you waiting for me? I wasn’t badmouthing you, I was praising you."

Jiang Ziyu said as he approached Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan was just ahead, looking at Jiang Ziyu calmly, speaking slowly, "Such saying ’The world was not born for you, Jiang Ziyu, the Jiang family’s eternity stretches like a long night.’

Jiang Ziyu brushed back his frosty white hair, looking at the starlit sky with a serious face, "Emperor Ye, have you noticed the stars are particularly bright tonight?"

Ye Xuan said indifferently, "I find you’re asking for a beating."

"Emperor Ye, if I may, Kuang Nu objects, he’s not just asking for it a little, he’s begging for it a lot!"

Kuang Nu, having brought Zhou Youwei and Ye Sixing out of the Jiang family, returned, standing behind Ye Xuan.

Jiang Ziyu felt nervous seeing Ye Xuan and Kuang Nu both present, but maintained a calm facade, speaking slowly, "You’re both right, clearly I have places to improve."

"If there’s something wrong, I’ll correct it. Rest assured, Emperor Ye, the next time we meet, I’ll have made amends."

Jiang Ziyu said with a serious face.
