The night Yu Zeqi was formally recognized as the heir to the Yu Family, the entire aristocratic circle was shocked. After all Yu Yang had never married or had children in his life, so where did this child come from?
But looking at the unmistakable DNA test report, they simply couldn't bring themselves to say anything against their conscience; the evidence was right in front of them.
Moreover, Yu Yang's son Yu Zeqi, is practically a carbon copy of him.
Even if they weren't related by blood, and Yu Zeqi was an actor hired by Yu Yang to deceive the media, it's impossible to find an actor who looks so similar, right? This is too shocking.
Perhaps they were too surprised, so much so that when Shang Shujue and Song Yanqing arrived together, they forgot what surprise was, or even how to write the word "surprise."
It took them a long time to come to their senses. Influenced by Shang Shujue's acceptance that Yu Zeqi was Yu Yang's son, those who originally wanted to do something gave up.
When Song Yanqing's elder brother, representing the Song Family heir of the Songhui Aristocratic Family, arrived, those who had previously harbored designs on him dared not say anything more.
The Yu Family was able to invite even members of the Songhui Aristocratic Family; they knew all too well whose face the Yu family was giving them, and they were also very clear about it.
The future achievements of Yu Zeqi, the heir of the Yu Family, will likely go far beyond simply carrying forward the Yu Family's glory; his very existence is full of surprises and unexpected twists.
" Xiao Qi, congratulations on reaching this point. From now on, you must walk the path with even greater determination."
Shang Shujue handed the gift he had prepared to Yu Zeqi, his words carrying the tolerance and doting affection of an older brother towards a younger generation.
" Brother Jue, don't worry, I've grown up now. From now on, I will not only take good care of the Yu Family, but also Dad. Brother Jue, I'm really happy that you could come today."
Yu Zeqi's eyes were always filled with endless admiration and respect for Shang Shujue. This was the look one had when looking at an idol and a role model. He also wanted to become such a person someday in the future—mature, steady, calm, and composed.
"You'll probably be even happier when you see the gift, so calm down for now and wait until you get home to be happy."
Shang Shujue smiled and tapped Yu Zeqi's forehead with his finger. After speaking, he led Song Yanqing to the table and waited for Zhang Zhichen and the others who had been invited and whom Yu Zeqi truly regarded as friends to come and talk to him.
He feared that standing in the center of the fame and fortune would put immense pressure on them, making them hesitant to approach him and feel embarrassed to speak to him.
"Dad, Brother Jue is still as gentle as ever, sometimes warm as the sun, sometimes aloof as the moon, but no matter what he's like, being able to stand by his side and become an indispensable part of his heart for a lifetime is definitely the greatest happiness."
Seeing Song Yanqing following Shang Shujue closely, Yu Zeqi couldn't help but turn to Yu Yang and sigh. Yu Yang looked at their backs and smiled.
"Yes, they are all good kids."
As soon as Shang Shujue sat down, his hungry babies rushed over, surrounding him and chattering away.
Song Yanqing sat beside Shang Shujue, pouring water and peeling oranges for him, seemingly used to their chatter.
The media reporters at the scene remained silent for a long time, ultimately saying nothing, but quietly taking pictures to write headlines later. Every little bit counts, and audiences love to see these kinds of details from lavish banquets.
Yu Zeqi smoothly became the heir of the Yu Family without any problems. Everything went smoothly until the end of the banquet.
When Shang Shujue and Song Yanqing returned, no one dared to follow them. However, in the underground parking lot, the two of them saw Ren Daiqi again, and his condition was completely different from before.
Previously, his aura was powerful and chaotic, like a compressed, destructive typhoon. Now, all the dangerous aura around him has been subdued, replaced by a pure and innocent aura.
It possesses a pure, natural, and vibrant energy that originates from the very source of the world, and everyone's first impression of it is one of warmth and fondness.
It seems his cultivation has been very successful; he can take over most of Shang Shujue's work, manage many affairs of this world, and protect the living beings in this world.
"My lord, before you speak, I apologize for disturbing you. I have come here today not to show you the results of my cultivation, but to tell you..."
" Su Youchuan, who was dragged into the Demon Abyss by the obsession of Nian Chen, has fallen into the demonic path and cultivated into a demon. He may break through the boundaries of this world and return to this world at any time."
" The Demon Abyss God Lord who is recuperating in this world doesn't seem to want to get involved in this matter. As the World Consciousness, I sensed the danger first and had no choice but to come to you."
Ren Daiqi didn't give Shang Shujue a chance to speak. He bowed slightly to him and explained why he had suddenly stopped cultivating and ran to him.
Shang Shujue seemed surprised by his decisiveness. She paused for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Song Yanqing. She narrowed her eyes slightly, carefully sensing something, and then her eyes widened.
" A-Jue, how are you?"
"He's telling the truth. Su Youchuan is really persistent; he actually broke through in such a short time."
"However, it will probably take him a long time to break through the edge of the world and return. I will have Nuomi conceal the coordinates. In the meantime, Ren Daiqi, you need to cultivate even harder, as there may be another tough battle ahead."
After Shang Shujue finished speaking with Ren Daiqi, he exchanged a lot of items that would be beneficial to his cultivation and stuffed them all into a storage bag and threw them to him.
"I will try my best."
Ren Daiqi and gave Song Yanqing, whose expression seemed somewhat familiar, a deep look before turning and leaving. He felt he had just seen some unusual emotions in Song Yanqing's eyes, but he didn't want to investigate what they were.
" A-Jue, in this world, is it really true that ordinary people can't cultivate? I want to protect you too."
When Song Yanqing said this, he seemed a little aggrieved. Shang Shujue smiled in surprise, reached out and pinched his cheek, gently pulling it to the side.
" Song Yanqing, you and I are one, so you can live a long life without cultivation. Besides, if you want any weapon, just ask Nuomi, and he will give it to you."
Song Yanqing had been worried about whether he could protect Shang Shujue, but after hearing what he said, he was no longer worried. He hugged him and kissed him affectionately for a while before the two got into the car and left...
