Zhang Xuntong and Zhang Xuance Arrive
"Huh? Me... me?"
Clan Leader, I'm not ready yet.
Zhang Xuanchen chuckled softly.
"I'm just asking you if you have confidence?"
Zhang Detian shook his head repeatedly, and answered without the slightest hesitation:
"Clan Leader, no, I have no confidence."
Although being the Clan Leader isn't very tiring, it's stressful and involves a lot of things to consider.
When Seventh Uncle came back, he was thinking of taking a good rest for several decades.
Zhang Detian cupped his hands, his expression serious, and spoke again:
"Clan Leader, I am still young and inexperienced."
It would be more appropriate for you to continue as the Clan Leader chief.
Zhang Xuanchen scoffed, "Young?"
"Your Seventh Uncle took over the position of Clan Leader before he was even twenty years old."
You're over thirty now, and your cultivation, methods, and vision are far superior to mine back then.
Why is it smaller?
Where is it too small?
Ah?"
"There's no room for discussion on this matter. You'll become the Clan Leader whether you like it or not."
"I..."
Zhang Detian was speechless, and looked around at the other people in the hall.
However, these people had already lowered their heads, eating the Spirit Fruit, closing their eyes, and showing expressions of enjoyment, pretending to be stupid, and no one was paying attention to him at all.
Zhang Xuanchen reached for the Spirit Fruit on the table, took a bite, looked at Zhang Detian, and smiled:
"Alright, stop looking, kid."
They're not going to say nice things to you.
You can't shirk your position as Clan Leader.
It's decided then and there.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Detian raised his head and said with a wry smile:
"Clan Leader, are you really planning to pass on the leadership?"
"You just got back and you've already made such a big fuss, isn't that a bit much?"
"What's not quite right?" Zhang Xuanchen raised an eyebrow. "Well, you've been busy for over ten years now."
I'll give you a break for a while.
Don't say I don't care about you.
"I will thoroughly eliminate the Demon Calamity in the Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain during this period. Once the trade routes are restored and the situation is completely stable, I will pass the position of Clan Leader to you."
You should have a child with Qingya as soon as possible, so your father can have a grandchild soon.
"To ensure the continuation and prosperity of my Zhang Family, I will contribute my strength and resources."
Upon hearing this, the elders in the hall barely suppressed their laughter.
Sure enough, it was the same familiar Clan Leader.
They just got back and immediately pressured their tribe to have children.
Zhang Detian replied, half-laughing and half-crying, "Clan Leader, we have a daughter."
Zhang Xuanchen was taken aback. "You have a daughter? How old is she?"
"He's three years old."
"That doesn't matter, we can just have another one."
Zhang Xuanchen looked at Zhang Detian and said, "Alright, it's settled then."
After I pass the position of Clan Leader to you, your seventh aunt and I will travel to the Central Land Immortal Continent.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Detian took a deep breath and said, "Okay."
Clan Leader, I will do my best.
It won't let your decades of hard work go to waste.
I believe you.
Then Zhang Xuanchen looked at the rest of the people in the hall and said:
"As you all have seen, the current situation is as it is."
With the merging of the Secret Realm, the Demon Calamity will not disappear.
It will only become more rampant.
The Lineage now has an annual net income of tens or hundreds of thousands of Mid-grade Spirit Stones.
"We cannot let these Spirit Stone gather dust in the treasure vault; instead, we must transform them into our own strength."
The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise Four Symbols Legion each expanded by two thousand men.
It is led by the core disciples of my Zhang Family.
We will expand the organization once everything is arranged properly.
"Ordinary matters, ordinary Demon Calamity, can be left to them to handle. What we, the Zhang Clan family disciples, need to do is strive to improve our cultivation and take on missions to hone our skills."
Zhang Xuanchen picked up his teacup and took another sip.
Then he continued.
After chatting with everyone and rearranging the resources of the Chamber of Commerce, the Dark Hall, the army, and the clan, the meeting ended.
Stepping out of the Main Hall, Zhang Xuanchen stretched.
Feeling relaxed and happy.
He looked at Luo Lingshuang and took her hand.
Oh, Shuang'er.
Let's go back to the Profound Heaven Villa.
It's been so long since we last met, I've missed you terribly.
"Perfect timing, let's check if any of the flowers and plants in the yard have been pulled up."
Upon hearing this, Luo Lingshuang looked up at Zhang Xuanchen.
Is that really all there is to it?
"Why not do something else?"
Hehe, what do you think?
I'll beat you up!
Zhang Xuanchen chuckled mischievously, then scooped Luo Lingshuang up in his arms and flew towards the Profound Heaven Villa.
Zhang Dexiao, who was squatting outside the hall with his mind on the True Dragon Essence Blood, saw this scene and immediately wanted to follow.
But Zhang Deling grabbed him from the side.
He turned his head in confusion. "Little sister, why are you pulling me?"
Zhang Deling slapped his forehead, his tone filled with helplessness, "My parents just met, they must have a lot to talk about, what are you going to do?"
If you don't want to get beaten up, you'd better listen to me.
You'll definitely get your share of the True Dragon Essence Blood, Father.
Why rush things?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dexiao nodded, "That makes sense."
On the other side, Zhang Xuanchen carried Luo Lingshuang as they walked up the bluestone steps.
The afternoon sun casts its rays, gilding everything with a golden edge.
The plaque above the gate of the Profound Heaven Villa is still the same one from back then, shining brightly without any signs of Decay.
Zhang Xuanchen put Luo Lingshuang down, pushed open the door and went in, first smelling a floral and fruity fragrance.
Spirit Fruit grows in the courtyard, its branches laden with green fruit.
A gentle breeze rustled through the leaves, causing them to collide and make a soft, whispering sound.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice from behind him:
"Seventh Brother."
Zhang Xuanchen turned his head and saw Zhang Xuntong and Zhang Xuance with a smile on his face.
The two men did not look much different, except that they were much more robust than they were ten years ago.
They all practiced Body Refining Cultivation Method.
Zhang Xuance held up two jars of Spirit Wine towards Zhang Xuanchen.
"Haha, Seventh Brother."
Zhang Xuanchen asked with a smile:
What brings you here?
Zhang Xuance walked straight into the courtyard, placed the wine jar on the stone table, and replied:
"I heard that Seventh Brother is back, so I came to see him."
As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Lingshuang beside him, then looked at Zhang Xuanchen and said with a wicked smile:
"Did I disturb your intimate moment with your sister-in-law?"
His expression was truly irritating.
Zhang Xuanchen kicked him, laughing and cursing.
"You brat, looking for a beating?"
Zhang Xuance hid behind Zhang Xuntong and said:
"Hey, I just want to ask you one question, why are you in such a hurry?"
Seeing his expression, Zhang Xuanchen smiled:
Alright, stop being so cheeky.
You came with your Fourth Brother, there must be something going on.
Let's go inside and talk."
In fact, Zhang Xuanchen already had a guess in his heart.
The only thing that could make them rush over immediately upon my return was that matter.
As he spoke, he turned and walked to the stone table in the courtyard to sit down.
I opened the Spirit Wine and took a sip.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuntong and Zhang Xuance exchanged a glance and then sat down.
Luo Lingshuang went to the kitchen to wash the Spirit Fruit and get some pastries.
After the two sat down, Zhang Xuanchen looked at them.
Zhang Xuance's cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment Perfection, his aura was stable, and he was not far from the Golden Core stage.
Zhang Xuntong, on the other hand, was in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage and had only recently broken through.
That's normal; after all, Zhang Xuntong only has Four Spiritual Roots.
To have cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage at this age is already quite an achievement.
Without the nourishment of Spirit Vein, he would probably only be at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
"You two have come here, are you heading to Sky Scar Sword Mountain?"
