The room Mi Man the aroma of incense, and everyone looked devout.
To outsiders, this kind of sacrifice is purely psychological comfort, but to the Li Family, they have come to regard it as something very important.
This is a habit formed over a long period of time.
About half an hour later, the sacrificial ceremony ended, and the Li Family returned to normal.
Su Chen was torn between revealing his true identity directly, mainly because he didn't know if the Li Family still harbored ambitions to control the Xuanhuang Realm.
If they wished, Su Chen would naturally be willing to help them recover to their former peak.
However, if these people no longer have such thoughts, all Su Chen can do is protect this lineage and ensure that it is not completely annihilated in the long river of history.
"Who are you?"
A voice came from the doorway. The speaker was a timid little girl who looked to be about ten years old, with bright, curious eyes.
Su Chen looked at the little girl, then smiled and said, "I'm here to see the head of your Li Family."
Seeing Su Chen's extraordinary demeanor, the little girl dared not be negligent and hurriedly ran back to find her grandfather Clan Chief Grandfather.
Before long, the Old Man who was presiding over the ceremony came out, looking at Su Chen with a puzzled expression in his eyes.
"May I ask what business this young master has with me?"
The current Family Head looks thin and frail, indicating that he has entered his twilight years. However, his eyes still gleam with a sharp light, giving him a more spirited appearance.
Li Shishan could tell that Su Chen was someone of considerable importance, so he spoke very politely.
Su Chen simply smiled and said, "Old man, won't you invite me in for a seat?"
Li Shishan immediately put on a friendly smile, "Look at my memory! How can I stand at the door when a guest is visiting? Please come in with me, young master."
Although he didn't know Su Chen's background, Li Shishan's intuition told him that Su Chen was not hostile, and he could even feel a sense of closeness from Su Chen.
Many members of the Li Family knew of Su Chen's arrival and looked at him curiously.
The Li Family is quite small now, and doesn't have many rules, so when guests visit, many people are very curious about who they are.
The Li Family's living room was small, even somewhat shabby, with one chair having a broken leg and signs of repair.
Li Shishan said with a forced smile, "Young master, our Li Family is humble; we hope you'll forgive our shortcomings."
Su Chen didn't sit down, so he walked around the living room, looking in all directions. Li Shishan frowned slightly. As a guest, Su Chen's behavior was undoubtedly very offensive, but he still didn't say a word.
He was somewhat confused about Su Chen's purpose.
Final.
Su Chen casually found a seat and said calmly, "Your Li Family seems to be having a tough time."
Li Shishan didn't feel bitter, after all, he was used to it. As long as the Li Family didn't get into trouble and they had something to eat, they were already content.
Although the Li Family is not exactly wealthy now, they can at least live a modest life, and he is content with that.
Li Shishan called out to someone not far away, "Hurry up and pour tea for this young master!"
A woman with fair and clean skin immediately walked over, carrying a very ordinary teapot in her hand.
The woman stepped forward, poured Su Chen a full cup of tea, smiled and nodded, then turned and left.
Li Shishan then said, "Our Li Family doesn't have any good tea, only some ordinary tea. Please bear with us, young master."
It's alright.
Su Chen responded calmly.
Silence fell over the hall. Li Shishan didn't try to find a topic to talk about, but simply waited quietly for Su Chen to speak. He knew that Su Chen must have something to discuss with their Li Family today.
But after thinking it over and over, he still couldn't figure out what the Li Family had that would attract attention, and Li Shishan felt a little uneasy.
The atmosphere grew increasingly heavy, and the other Li Family noticed something amiss.
Just then, Su Chen suddenly spoke slowly.
Do you know who the Li Family's ancestors were?
The Li Family?
Li Shiming fell into deep thought. Their Li Family's records of their ancestors were discontinuous, with only the first thirty-odd generations still recorded, but they were all extremely ordinary and unremarkable.
However, there is a legend about the Li Family, but whether it is true or not is unknown.
Anyway, everyone in the Li Family is talking about this.
That was the Li Family, who seemed to be a powerful cultivation force countless years ago, but unfortunately, they eventually faded away.
"Please enlighten me, young master."
Su Chen didn't speak, but simply smiled and shook his head. The Great Qian Empire had already disappeared into the annals of history, and even if he mentioned the name of the Great Qian Empire now, the Li Family probably wouldn't have heard of it.
Su Chen looked towards the Li Family from a distance, then said calmly:
"The Token you are worshipping... is mine."
He never intended to hide his identity, so he was very direct.
However, after Su Chen finished speaking, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence. Li Shishan's face showed astonishment, anger, and confusion.
His eyes were fixed intently on Su Chen.
That Token was left by the Li Family Old Ancestor, and countless years have Past since then. If it was truly left by Su Chen, wouldn't that mean Su Chen has lived for countless years?
How is that possible!
Li Shishan simply didn't believe it. He took a deep breath and forced a smile onto his face.
"Young master... you jest."
The Li Family is just an ordinary Lineage, nothing special. If Su Chen has an extraordinary background, offending him would only be detrimental to the Li Family.
Therefore, although Su Chen's actions offended their Li Family Old Ancestor, Li Shishan could only swallow his anger.
Su Chen didn't speak; he simply raised his hand and gestured.
The jade Jade Pendant, which had been sealed in amber, appeared out of thin air in his hand.
What!
Li Shishan suddenly stood up.
This person is actually a cultivator!
Su Chen's methods have gone beyond the realm of common sense.
Su Chen looked at the jade Jade Pendant inside the amber, a look of reminiscence flashing in his eyes. This Jade Pendant was left by him in the Great Qian Empire to contact him. Perhaps after returning to the Upper Reaches of Time, various changes occurred, causing his Token to not receive any messages.
He could still sense residual fluctuations within the Token, which he assumed were the words the Great Qian Empire had used to contact him.
What a pity.
Su Chen looked up and took out a Token, which was almost identical to the Token in the amber, and it was exactly the other half.
"Your Li Family is indeed my descendant. Countless years ago, the Li Family was the Royal Family of the Great Qian Empire, and the most powerful force in the Xuanhuang Realm."
"But times have changed. Who would have thought that the Royal Family of yesteryear is now nothing more than a small Li Family."
Su Chen's tone was full of vicissitudes, but Li Shishan was no longer calm. His eyes were filled with shock as he stared intently at the other Jade Pendant in Su Chen's hand.
The Li Family has two heirloom treasures.
One is this Jade Pendant, and the other is a jade slip.
The jade slip contained very simple information, and much of the writing was already blurred and illegible, but some parts were still legible. Li Shiming remembered it clearly, and it was mentioned in the legible parts.
If the person who will meet his other half through the Jade Pendant in the Future, it will be the Li Family Old Ancestor.
