The Powerful Family Was Actually Mine

Dragon City was a highly renowned metropolis within the Heaven Soul Empire, and the foremost city in the northern region.

Located in the northeastern part of the Heaven Soul Empire, it had a relatively cold climate.

Two sects famous across the entire continent stood here.

They were the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Earth Dragon Sect.

The martial souls inherited by both sects were genuine dragon-type martial souls.

At the same time, because the Heavenly Dragon Sect was stronger and had a more illustrious background, many people considered the Earth Dragon Sect to be a subsidiary sect of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

Naturally, the Earth Dragon Sect refused to acknowledge that.

Although the two sects had a good relationship, the Earth Dragon Sect had always been dissatisfied with the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

If not for their own lack of strength, the Earth Dragon Sect would have long wanted to defeat the Heavenly Dragon Sect and become Dragon City's true ruler.

"So this is Dragon City? It's so magnificent!"

After stepping down from the carriage and seeing Dragon City's towering, imposing walls, Su Ming could not help but marvel.

He was indeed a transmigrator, but he had spent all these years living in Salted Fish Village and rarely even visited Weihai City.

This was truly his first time seeing a major city like Dragon City.

"When your old man was young, I came here once. I thought I'd never come back in this lifetime, but who would've thought..."

As he sighed, Su Long subconsciously shook his head.

In truth, he had been quite proud and ambitious back then, nothing like the laid-back man he was now.

But constrained by his talent and the limitations of being a sea soul master, Su Long had finally accepted reality and returned to his true self, returning to his family.

He had settled into this reclusive, leisurely life with his wife, Zhou Yun.

Just then, a middle-aged man dressed in blue sect robes bearing the emblem of the Heavenly Dragon Sect walked straight over.

"May I ask if you are Master Su Long and Young Master Su Ming?"

"I am Yu Xingsong, an inner sect steward of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. I have been waiting here for you both for quite some time."

After introducing himself, Yu Xingsong respectfully received Su Long and his son.

It seems Great-Grandfather's identity is even more extraordinary than I first imagined.

Seeing Yu Xingsong's exceedingly respectful attitude, as well as how he addressed both him and his father, Su Ming fell into thought.

Both he and his father were sea soul masters, yet they were receiving such attention and hospitality on the Heavenly Dragon Sect's territory. Coupled with the Thunderbolt Horse that had been delivered along with the letter earlier, Su Ming was now intensely curious about the identity of his great-grandfather, whom he had never met.

Could it be that I really am related to Mu En and the others?

Su Ming's mouth twitched. He suddenly felt that the wild thought he had entertained before setting out might actually come true.

That would be quite a spectacle.

"That's right, it's us." Only after pulling Su Ming protectively to his side did Su Long nod in reply.

"Master Su Long, there is no need to worry. Please follow me. This subordinate will escort you two to the Heavenly Dragon Sect."

As he spoke, Yu Xingsong gave a highly detailed explanation of the connection between Su Long and Su Ming's father-son pair and the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

After hearing the explanation, Su Long and his son believed him, but their hearts were also shaken beyond measure.

Damn, my great-grandfather was actually the previous sect master of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

And the current sect master of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, the present Heavenly Dragon Douluo, is actually Grandfather's biological elder brother.

That means I should call him Great-Uncle.

Su Ming had never expected to have such a background.

Though this connection seemed somewhat distant, it would still be useful to some extent.

As the saying went, it was easier to find shade beneath a great tree.

Especially judging from the current treatment, they clearly still valued old ties.

That was good news for Su Ming.

The powerful family was actually mine!

"Two esteemed guests, please follow me."

Immediately afterward, Yu Xingsong climbed onto the carriage and personally drove Su Long and Su Ming toward the Heavenly Dragon Sect in the southern part of the city.

"This is the temporary residence our sect has arranged for you two. If there is anything you are dissatisfied with, please tell me."

"I will certainly resolve it for you at once."

After arriving at the Heavenly Dragon Sect, Yu Xingsong led Su Long and Su Ming into a courtyard.

"Satisfied, satisfied. Very satisfied." Su Long hurriedly waved his hands, looking extremely pleased.

He had taken a look at the place. It was definitely not some careless arrangement.

The entire environment was particularly humid, making it highly suitable for sea soul masters like them.

Then Su Long looked at Yu Xingsong and continued, "By the way, where is my wife?"

"You mean Miss Yu Yun? She has been staying by the old sect master's side lately."

"Please wait a moment. I will report your arrival to the sect master and the others right away."

With that, Yu Xingsong respectfully left the courtyard.

"Son, what kind of situation is this?" After Yu Xingsong left, Su Long could not help but sigh.

"It's full of dramatic twists," Su Ming commented bluntly.

Even Su Ming, who possessed foreknowledge, had never expected such an absurd turn of events.

"When the time comes, your great-grandfather will definitely want to see you. Don't embarrass us. Show them what us sea soul masters are made of."

Then Su Long began encouraging his son.

He also spoke about how to conduct himself around others.

The more it was a moment like this, the less they could show timidity or act small-minded.

Seeing how nervous his father was, Su Ming comforted him, "Don't worry, Dad. Do you really not trust me?"

"When the time comes, I definitely won't make you or Mom lose face."

"That's true." Remembering how clever and sensible his son was, the ordinarily simple-minded Su Long gradually relaxed.

Before long, a middle-aged woman pushed open the gate and entered the courtyard.

"Hubby, son." Seeing the two inside, Zhou Yun was overjoyed.

After waiting for so many days, her husband and son had finally arrived.

"Mom, you've changed so much." Seeing his mother's noble and elegant bearing, Su Ming voiced what his father was thinking.

After exchanging pleasantries, Su Long asked about the important matter. "Honey, how should our son and I address you and introduce you from now on?"

"After returning to Weihai City, I'll still use the surname Zhou in private."

"But now, Father and I both use the surname Yu. It can be considered making up for Grandfather's regret."

Zhou Yun's expression turned solemn as she carefully explained the matter to her husband and son.

It turned out that many years ago, because Zhou Heng had awakened a mutated martial soul, he had not been valued by his father.

Combined with his circumstances over the years and the conflicts that had arisen, Zhou Heng chose to leave the sect and live on his own.

Because he had concealed his identity while outside, and because his martial soul was not the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon of the Heavenly Dragon Sect,

no one had ever been able to recognize Zhou Heng's true identity.

What happened afterward was exactly what Su Long and Su Ming already knew.

After arriving in a coastal city of the Spirit Empire, Zhou Heng fell in love with a local woman and chose to be with her.

He had originally intended to receive his family's blessing, but it instead became a complete break.

This was what Zhou Heng had told his daughter and son-in-law about the matter.
