Fang Yu's words indeed made everyone in the Tianyin Clan shiver.

The Ancestor of the Tianyin, being of advanced age and considerable experience, managed the situation with relative calm and composure. Upon hearing, she immediately stood up.

Everyone else followed suit, standing behind the Ancestor.

Fang Yu nodded and learned from the Tianyin Ancestor's words that her name was Jiang Hongxiu.

One could imagine that the former Ancestor of the Tianyin was undoubtedly a stunning beauty.

However, the beauty had faded with age, her hair white, and her days of youth long gone.

"Clan Leader Jiang, it seems your health is not very good," Fang Yu said lightly.

The Clan Leader of the Tianyin Clan, Jiang Hongxiu, nodded and said, "At my age, the end is near. Even though I possess Infinite Level cultivation, I cannot break through the Heaven and Earth Laws. Since ancient times, birth, aging, illness, and death are human conditions. I've lived in this mortal world for over ten millennia, and I am already content... I've stayed in this Secret Realm for eight thousand years, and my body has become increasingly frail."

Even with Infinite cultivation, time is an unbeatable foe.

Is there truly eternal life for humans?

Fang Yu sighed and said, "I understand. When the Secret Realm erupted back then, the world must have changed dramatically. All the burdens and the future and hope of the Tianyin were placed upon you. Since Tianyin primarily focuses on support and lacks combat power, being able to persist in the Secret Realm for eight thousand years is no easy feat..."

These words greatly moved Jiang Hongxiu.

As the head of the clan, only she knew her hardships; moreover, to whom could she complain? If the clan leader were to complain, it would easily shake the morale. She had to give the clan members hope, and she must be as strong as a mountain so that the clan members could have confidence.

It has always been like this for a full eight thousand years.

The other members of the Tianyin Clan were also emotionally moved by Fang Yu's words.

At this moment.

The woman who had earlier offended Fang Yu quickly came before him, trying to kneel...

Jiang Hongxiu slightly raised her hand, and a faint Gang Qi stopped her.

Fang Yu also saw the person and said, "If you can't understand speech, then listen to your ancestor..."

The woman blushed, full of shame but also deeply grateful in her heart.

Clan Leader Jiang Hongxiu clasped her hands and said:

"Your Highness's grace, I am deeply grateful... The Tianyin Clan has finally returned to this world. It's inevitable to feel anxious when meeting our own people... Now, seeing them following Your Highness, I am relieved."

Fang Yu laughed and said, "That's not the case..."

"I heard her call Your Highness brother-in-law. Perhaps Your Highness has already married her sister?" Jiang Hongxiu asked expectantly.

Hearing this.

Fang Yu paused and said, "If I say it's a misunderstanding, you surely won't believe me..."

"It's definitely not a misunderstanding. You are my brother-in-law." Jiang Xiaoxiao hugged Fang Yu's arm.

"..."

This matter, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't wash away.

Moreover, Jiang Wei seemed to have given up, not caring about her reputation, sitting there as if it was none of her business.

"Clan Leader Jiang, though they have been following me... I think it would still be better for them to be with you. Their bloodlines have only recently awakened, and Jiang Wei's combat skills are very basic, while Jiang Xiaoxiao does not know combat skills at all. They all need your guidance. I know nothing about the Cultivation Method of the Tianyin Clan," Fang Yu said.

Jiang Hongxiu's gaze swept over Jiang Wei and Jiang Xiaoxiao, and she nodded and said:

"What Your Highness says is true. The combat skills of the Tianyin Clan can only be cultivated by clan members. It was my oversight..."

Following that.

Jiang Hongxiu looked at Jiang Wei and Jiang Xiaoxiao and said, "Are you two willing to follow me in cultivation?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao hesitated, not knowing how to respond.

In truth, she was reluctant to leave Fang Yu, but how could she survive in this chaotic world without cultivation?

Before she could speak, Fang Yu said first, "Go on, the future is long. Come find me when you have the skills, wouldn't that be better?"

"Hmph, brother-in-law, are you trying to get rid of me?" Jiang Xiaoxiao grumbled.

"Not at all, your brother-in-law can't wait to cherish you more... Having such a sister-in-law like you is a blessing cultivated over eight lifetimes for me," Fang Yu said with a chuckle.

"That's more like it..."

Hearing their conversation.

The people of the Tianyin were even more surprised at how close their relationship was.

Jiang Hongxiu, the Tianyin Ancestor, was even more determined to cultivate Jiang Xiaoxiao properly, intending to pass all her lifelong cultivation to her... including the Holy Artifact in her hand — the Tianyin Zen Staff!

Jiang Wei stood up from the sofa, her expression calm as she approached Jiang Hongxiu, bringing Jiang Xiaoxiao along...

Without a word, they kneeled down.

"Ancestor, my sister and I are willing to follow you in cultivation."

Jiang Xiaoxiao could defy any order, except her elder sister, who controlled her completely.

Fang Yu showed a faint smile.

Jiang Hongxiu was also pleased to nod and said, "Stand up... From now on, you two will be my successors of Jiang Hongxiu. I will pass on all the combat skills of the Tianyin Clan to you. All the sisters and elders in the Tianyin are also your sisters and elders..."

"Thank you, Ancestor," said Jiang Wei.

"Thank... Thank you... Grand... Granny..." Jiang Xiaoxiao raised her head and blinked.

Calling her granny was greatly disrespectful. Normally, one would be punished.

But who dare reprimand the brother-in-law of Fang Yu?

Fang Yu laughed heartily, "Xiaoxiao, don't call names randomly... The ancestry ranks are: parents, ancestors, great ancestors, high ancestors, celestial ancestors, heroic ancestors, prime ancestors, remote ancestors, and founder ancestors. Below are: children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, great-great-great-grandchildren, great-great-great-great-grandchildren, and great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren. Clan Leader Jiang has a lifespan over ten millennia, and according to a hundred years per cycle, it exceeds one hundred cycles... even calling her founder ancestor is disrespectful!"

The words made everyone in Tianyin nod frequently, making them admire Fang Yu even more.

Jiang Xiaoxiao said oh and kowtowed, "Ancestor, my mistake..."

Jiang Hongxiu smiled with squinting eyes, "What a good child! Rise..."

"Yes!"

The two stood up.

Just as they stood up, a servant appeared again outside the hall —

"Mr. Fang, someone is seeking an audience outside the courtyard. They claim to be of the Ten Great Bloodlines of ancient times, coming to apologize."

Hearing this.

Chen Daotian stood up and said, "Brother Yu, it seems the Fang Family is lively today... I won't stay to join the commotion. I'm going upstairs to watch TV!"

After speaking, Chen Daotian went upstairs.

Fang Yu sighed, glanced at the mysterious expert, then turned and said, "Let them in!"

"Yes!"

Following that, Fang Yu said again, "Clan Leader Jiang, you being of advanced age, please sit first..."

"Yes!"

Jiang Hongxiu slowly came to the side of the sofa, hesitating for a while, and after looking around, she mustered the courage to sit down. Others had no courage to sit down, just standing behind the clan leader, half of the hall filled.
