Becoming an Old Ancestor Out of Nowhere; Knowing What's Good for You
Lin Ze was startled by Liu Yi's sudden appearance. He had no idea how the other party had arrived; it was as if he had appeared out of thin air.
Upon seeing Liu Yi's face clearly, his eyes widened in horror.
As the system host, he naturally recognized Liu Xuan (Liu Yi) in front of him. Liu Xuan was a peerless expert who could kill Void Return Realm expert in two moves and even slay a Devil Race member in the Dao Integration Realm.
What shocked him even more was that, judging from Liu Xuan's words, Liu Wei was actually his junior.
A bitter feeling welled up in Lin Ze's heart. If he had known the Liu Household had such a powerful background, why would he have come here?
He readily agreed to the marriage proposal, which at least established a connection with Liu Xuan.
Now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and respectfully explain:
"Senior, I truly did not know that Liu Wei was your junior. I have been very rude just now, please forgive me."
Liu Hai was startled by Liu Yi's sudden appearance, but when he saw Liu Yi's face clearly, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
This face was not Liu Yi, whom he was familiar with; instead, it was Liu Xuan, who had appeared in the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm.
He didn't react for a moment, and didn't understand why the other person said Liu Wei was his junior, so he asked with doubt:
"Greetings, senior. May I ask which elder of my Liu Household you are?"
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Liu Yi knew they didn't know his identity. Just as he was about to explain, an excited voice rang in his ears:
"Are you the ancestor of my Liu Household?"
He turned his head and saw Liu Jun looking at him excitedly. He smiled slightly and nodded in response.
"That's right, I am indeed your elder. You're not mistaken in calling me 'Ancestor.'"
Upon hearing this, Liu Hai realized that the Liu Xuan in front of him was Liu Yi, his great-uncle.
He never expected that the famous Liu Xuan was actually his great-uncle in disguise.
He immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Liu Hai, a descendant of a younger generation, pays respects to my great-uncle. Please forgive me for not recognizing you earlier."
Liu Jing stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
The ancestor, who was only a rumor not long ago, is now standing alive right before my eyes.
He was just a little confused as to why the other person was Liu Xuan and not Liu Yi.
With this slight confusion, he respectfully bowed and said, "Liu Jing, a descendant of a younger generation, pays respects to the ancestor."
Liu Wei and the others already knew that their Lineage had an ancestor, and they immediately realized this and respectfully bowed.
Liu Yi glanced at Liu Hai, slightly surprised. He hadn't expected the other person to recognize him.
Although he didn't try to hide it, the other party was quite clever to guess his identity.
He raised his hand and gently waved it, a soft force helping everyone to their feet. He said gently, "Get up, no need for formalities."
The villagers of Liu Household Village, standing to the side, looked at Liu Yi, who had suddenly appeared, their faces filled with shock and confusion.
"When did Liu Hai have a great-great-grandfather, the famous Liu Xuan? How come we didn't know?"
"I can't believe it! The peerless expert Liu Xuan is actually Uncle Liu Hai's great-great-grandfather! Doesn't that mean he's from our Liu Household Village?"
"What a surprise! Such an important figure has actually emerged from our little village. It's like our ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke."
"Haha, look at Lin Ze just now. He was bowing respectfully to Senior Liu Xuan, and he didn't dare to get up without permission. The humiliation he suffered earlier can finally dissipate now."
"What are you all standing there for? Since Liu Xuan is Uncle Liu Hai's great-great-uncle, he is the ancestor of our entire Liu Household Village. Hurry up and pay your respects!"
The people of Liu Household Village then came to their senses and immediately bowed in unison, shouting:
"The descendants of the Liu Household pay homage to their ancestor, wishing him to attain immortality and live Longevity and carefree life."
Liu Yi felt a bit overwhelmed when he saw everyone in Liu Household Village respectfully bowing and calling him "Ancestor."
Actually, it's not wrong for them to call it that, since the entire Liu Household Village is of the same clan and the same ancestral hall is used to worship the same ancestors.
Although she was a transmigrator, after being reborn into the Liu Household, she carried the blood of the Liu Household in her veins, and this cause and effect could not be erased.
Moreover, he did not cultivate the path of ruthlessness; on the contrary, he retained a strong sense of humanity.
Ah well, whatever, let him be an ancestor then.
Anyway, he never intended to use the alias Liu Xuan anymore.
Even if someone later finds out that Liu Xuan is Liu Yi, with his strength at that time, protecting the entire Liu Household Village should not have been difficult.
Of course, if they bring it on themselves, then he can't control that.
I'm not a nanny.
He only needed to set up a formation for Liu Household Village before leaving; he didn't want to get involved in anything else.
After all, the more you interfere, the more mistakes you tend to make, and the more consequences you create.
Thinking this, Liu Yi glanced at everyone, raised his hand and gently waved it, a soft force helping them all to their feet. "Everyone, please get up."
Lin Yufei was startled when she saw Liu Yi suddenly appear.
She never imagined that Liu Wei's elders included such a powerful figure.
This is someone who could easily wipe out the Lin Household.
Then a surge of excitement welled up inside her. With this, there should be no more obstacles to her marriage with Liu Wei.
She quickly sent Liu Wei a message on Microchat: "That's great! I never expected your family to have such an amazing elder."
"If you had told me back then, our marriage probably wouldn't have had so many twists and turns."
Liu Wei quickly replied, "I only recently learned that my family has such a powerful ancestor, but his whereabouts are unknown, and we haven't been able to contact him."
But now that the ancestor has appeared, our marriage is definitely not a problem."
When Lin Yufei saw Liu Yi looking over, she immediately followed the rest of the Lin Household in bowing respectfully.
"Greetings, senior. Please forgive my rudeness earlier."
Lin Ze inwardly groaned; he really hadn't checked the almanac before going out today.
I thought it was just an ordinary little mountain village, but who knew that such a powerful figure was hiding in this remote valley?
Moreover, the Liu Household didn't mention having such a powerful ancestor; otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to oppose the marriage even if they were given the guts.
Fortunately, he didn't do anything too outrageous. Even though he disagreed with the marriage earlier, he still repaid the other party for saving his life.
Liu Yi glanced at the Lin Household and nodded, saying, "You may all rise. What are your thoughts on Liu Wei and Lin Yufei's marriage?"
Lin Ze quickly and respectfully replied, "Liu Wei and Yufei are a match made in heaven, and our Lin Household has absolutely no objections!"
Now that he knew Liu Xuan was Liu Wei's ancestor, how could he dare to utter a single word of "no"?
They were terrified that if they said the wrong thing, they would be killed with a single blow.
Moreover, being able to establish a relationship with Liu Xuan would provide the Lin Household with a powerful backer in the future.
Seeing that Lin Ze was so sensible, Liu Yi nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face:
"In that case, let's set a date for Liu Wei and Lin Yufei's wedding. You and Liu Hai can discuss this matter together."
He paused, looked around, and solemnly instructed, "You must keep my identity a secret and not reveal it to anyone."
Otherwise, if my enemy finds out, he can't do anything to me, but he can deal with you. Don't blame me if you die then."
Everyone present tensed up and replied in unison, "Yes! We will obey the orders of our Ancestor/Senior!"
Liu Yi nodded and looked at Lin Ze and Liu Hai: "You two should discuss Liu Wei and Lin Yufei's marriage arrangements first."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards Liu Hai's house, no longer wanting to deal with these trivial matters.
