Star Trace Gate

Chapter 849: My Brother’s Wedding, My Engagement

After waiting for a year and a half, the migration area was finally reopened.

Presumably, once the call of Heaven resounds at this moment, it will surely make countless cultivators excited, and the old migration site that symbolizes the once incomparable glory of the human race will surely be a grand scene with thousands of people deserted and many different races gathered.

It’s a pity that this grand occasion has nothing to do with the Little Bad King for the time being, because the eldest master has specifically instructed him to wait for the second master to come back before leading the team into the migration area, and there may be a separate "life-threatening mission" given to him.

In this case, we can only seize the time and wait slowly...

Ren came back to his senses slowly, and turned to look at Uncle Xu and Uncle Zhou beside him, and saw that these two handsome old men also looked like they were in a state of meditation.

He waited for a moment until the two men's eyes regained their spirits. He then asked, "Uncles, have you also sensed the opening of the migration site?"

"Ah."

Xu Yuan's face was filled with joy, and he nodded slightly and said, "Now that the mansion is open, we can harvest leeks."

"Harvesting leeks, what do you mean by that?" Ren asked curiously.

"My son Agui disappeared for a while after separating from you in the secret place of Fulai County. Didn't he tell you what he was doing?" Xu Yuan asked back.

Ren also shook his head and told the truth: "He did mention it, but it was very vague."

"He was unable to keep the appointment on time because my Xu family also completed a mission as a guide in the migration area and found a secret realm containing the key to authority." Xu Yuan did not hide anything. He just smiled and looked at Ren Ye and said, "Haha, when you were traveling in Gutan City, my Zhou and Xu families were also fighting with the people of Black Cage Castle for the secret realm containing the key to authority."

"However, the mighty dragon in that secret realm is truly too formidable. There are too many of these bald donkeys to kill them all."

When he said this, the head of the powerful ancient family also showed a very troubled and helpless expression.

"However, our Zhou and Xu families joined forces, and with the slight advantage left by our ancestors, we ultimately seized the secret realm containing the key to power. It should have happened only slightly later than Gutan City." Xu Yuan explained, knowing everything. "Agui was recognized by the clan as a candidate for the next head of the Xu family. Therefore, the clan decided that the power of this secret realm... would belong to him in the future. With this decision made, Agui naturally had to participate in the struggle for this secret realm, which is why he was unable to keep his appointment."

He comes to take control of this secret realm?

Holy shit... My brother is actually the future master of the secret realm?!

Ren Ye felt an inexplicable surge of satisfaction in his heart, and then he asked excitedly, "Uncle Xu, I'd like to ask, what is this secret place that our Zhou and Xu families have seized? Is it the size of a town, a county, or...?"

"The northern border of the migration site - Ninggu City, also known as the Frozen Land of the Cold Moon."

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "That's an ancient city that's even larger than Gutan. It's a fourth-grade secret realm city. There are over a hundred errand secret realms within it. My Zhou and Xu families can also use this city to return to their migration site."

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Ren was also genuinely happy: "The Zhou and Xu families have captured the Frost Moon Frozen Land, which is equivalent to our Order faction occupying another secret area in the migration area."

"The chaos led by the Wall-Facing Man will seize no less territory than the Order. The Huangling City that previously launched a massacre against Gutan was merely a threatening display by the Wall-Facing Man before closing the Relocation Area." Zhou Chengye poured cold water on Ren Ye. "I have a feeling that the reopening of the Relocation Area will likely be a battle between the two great sects. This will determine the future of the Relocation Area: will it belong to Order or Chaos...!"

"Today, I need to send people to the Frost Moon Frozen Land to prepare for the Guide to devour the Key of Authority." Xu Yuan said softly, "After returning to the migration site, Agui will control the authority of this ancient land. This is also the reason why I want to see your master. This great situation requires order."

"I understand." Ren nodded heavily, then grinned, "I understand. You seniors are the ones who go together, and we juniors just follow and lick the loot."

Xu Yuan was slightly taken aback when he heard such fashionable words, and jokingly said, "My son's description of you is simply the most accurate expression I've ever made in my life...!"

"Ha ha!"

An old man and a young boy smiled at each other.

……

Not long after, Ren followed Xu Yuan and the others to Dingfeng Pavilion on the eleventh floor of Tianfeng, and met the real head of the Xu family, who was also the oldest sixth-rank official in the Xu family - Xu Weizhi.

Weizhi is Mr. Xu's courtesy name. His real name is Xu Han, and he was born during the Xu family's most difficult years.

After the collapse of the migration area, the Xu family of Xiaoshuai had a very difficult time in Longtian City and declined day by day because they lost the support of the main family, most of the high-ranking people died in the battle, and there was no sixth-rank person in the family.

During the most difficult period of the Xu family, they even ceded 90% of Longtian City's industries, but this still could not satisfy the "heroic forces" who coveted the Xu family's rich foundation. They didn't want a part of it, but wanted it all.

Therefore, after enduring for a long time in compromise and retreat, the Xu family could not avoid the fate of being surrounded and massacred, and the pillars of the family all died in that turbulent era.

In the end, Xu Weizhi escaped from Longtian City with a group of descendants and children from the Zhou and Xu families. They lay dormant for nearly a hundred years. After he broke through the sixth level, he returned to his old place and joined forces with the Zhou family to regain everything they had lost by means of gradual erosion and division.

Therefore, the status of Old Man Xu in the hearts of the Zhou and Xu families is similar to that of the Emperor in the hearts of the Jiuli people. Without him, it would be almost impossible for the Zhou and Xu families to survive that period, and they would not have the confidence to start over.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the absolute founder who reshapes the second generation of glory of the Zhou and Xu families.

Old Master Xu is now over three hundred years old, and has no hope of entering the Divine Forbidden Realm. He is truly at the end of his rope, but he is worthy of the title of a great man of his generation.

When Ren Ye entered Dingfeng Pavilion, he not only met Mr. Xu, but also dozens of descendants of the Zhou and Xu families, including Xiao Shuai and Zhou Muyun.

This group of younger generations surrounded the old man, asking about his well-being to show their filial piety. Xiao Shuai, in particular, squatted beside the old man and kept complaining, saying that he had spent a lot of money on such a big event as the Haoran Sect during his trip to Jiuli. Now, he even had to borrow money from Qingliang Mansion to buy lip balm for his wife...

He is not pretending to be a grandson, he is a real grandson!

The life span of 300 years is a huge hurdle for those of the sixth rank. Without entering the divine forbidden zone and opening the wheel of life, they will not be able to live a second life.

Although Mr. Xu has survived this great hurdle, he has already aged beyond recognition. His body is extremely thin, with no spiritual energy in his body. Most of his white hair has fallen out. He is deaf and blind, and a little unconscious. He sits on a four-wheeled wooden cart and might fall asleep if he is told to.

When Ren Ye saw him, the old man was wearing a very loose white Taoist robe to cover up his extremely weak and even scary body.

He spoke slowly and dully, and his voice was loud. When he observed others, his cloudy eyes could only focus a little, and it took a while before they could feel focused.

"Grandpa, this is my sworn brother, the heir of the Human Emperor." Seeing Ren Ye walk in, Xiao Shuai immediately leaned over and shouted in the old man's ear, "We have a great relationship...!"

Old Master Xu looked up slightly, his sparse white hair fluttering. He stared at Ren Ye for a long moment before nodding slowly, "Come closer...closer. I can't see clearly."

Ren also stepped forward, bowed deeply and shouted, "I am Zhu Zigui, Xu Gui's sworn brother. I have come to pay you a visit today!"

He thought his voice wasn't too low, but Old Master Xu was still stunned for a moment, then asked, "What's your name?! Zhu what's so expensive?!"

"Zhu Zigui!" Ren Ye shouted again.

"Waste pig?!"

"Zigui ah!!!"

"Pig lungs are expensive?" Old Master Xu listened again.

"Ah...!" Ren Ye blinked, but wisely stopped arguing: "If you say it's expensive, then it's expensive."

Master Xu lowered his chin and carefully studied Ren Ye for a long moment before sighing, "The Emperor's heir apparent... He may not be a great man, but his reputation is immense. It will empower you... but it will also weigh you down. Don't let it crush you!"

Ren also nodded respectfully: "Junior understands."

"The Emperor's careful selection... he can't be wrong!" At this moment, Old Master Xu's eyes suddenly sharpened. He slowly grasped Xiao Shuai's arm and nodded slightly, saying, "He... he has integrity. You young men should get along well with him."

Ren also took the initiative to raise his arm, grabbed Xiao Shuai's palm, and replied: "We get along very well!"

Xiao Shuai was silent for a while, then he yelled, "I understand what you mean, but if you want to be good to my big brother... then you need money, Grandpa!"

"What did you say?!"

"I'm talking about being rich!" Xiao Shuai emphasized.

"You're talking about money? We have money." Old Master Xu was very happy. He slowly raised his arm and grabbed a brocade box on the table.

The brocade box was about the size of two palms, and inside it were a number of colorful light beads. Old Master Xu casually grabbed six or seven of them, leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile, "Since you're new to the Xu family, I'll give you a few colorful beans! Boy, take them, take them...!"

"this……!"

Ren Ye immediately put on a fake expression and evaded the offer, "This is too expensive, junior...!"

"Stop pretending. Just take it if I give it to you." Xiao Shuai said in a voice transmission.

"Get away from me! If you hadn't told me where I needed the money, I would have taken it... You must be so embarrassed now!" Ren Ye said irritably.

"Brother, my grandfather is a generous man and loves the younger generations. Whenever there is a happy event in the family, he will give these colored beans to the younger generations. This bean contains 666,000 star wishes. He probably has more than 4 million in these." Xiao Shuai reminded him.

When Ren Ye heard this, the shame in his heart suddenly subsided a little.

"The old man likes you, take it." Xu Yuan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Grandpa!!! Zhu Feigui kowtows to you!" Ren Ye reached out to take the colored beans and shouted happily.

"Hahaha, okay, okay."

Old Master Xu trembled as he pulled Ren Ye up, then looked up at the house full of children and grandchildren and said with a smile, "There are more and more people. Great! Today, I want to have a couple more drinks."

"Dad, let's stop drinking!"

Xu Yuan advised.

The old man heard this clearly, and immediately raised his eyebrows and scolded: "If you don't want to drink the wine, don't call me dad anymore...!"

"...!"

Xu Yuan was speechless.

Not long after, Dingfeng Pavilion held a family banquet, which was to welcome Ren Ye and to celebrate the reopening of the residence after the migration.

Although Mr. Xu kept saying he wanted to drink two more cups, he actually drank less than half a cup and fell asleep on the four-wheeled vehicle with a happy look on his face.

Seeing that his father was tired, Xu Yuan pushed the four-wheeled cart and personally took him back to the dormitory to rest.

As the father and son walked through the corridor of the tallest building in Longtian City, the old man's body curled up in the car, covered with a blanket, and slightly opened his eyes.

His eyes were somewhat dull, and he suddenly asked, "Is there something strange about the Zhou family's ancestral land..."

When Xu Yuan heard this, his face was filled with astonishment.

"What happened?!" asked the old man.

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment before truthfully stating, "The Human Emperor entered the Zhou family's ancestral land, hoping to find information about the last true dragon on earth. Unexpectedly, his Human Emperor aura forced out something filthy from Elder Su He's soul. It turned out to be a sixth-grade Soul Gu... He got the information, but Elder Su He's body and soul vanished from the heavens and earth."
