Let Your Father Show You How It's Done

"Um?"

Gu Chen was also taken aback, looking at Huang Jiuzhao with confusion:

"Why do you say that, Your Majesty?"

Huang Jiuzhao shook his head and smiled:

"It seems this is a coincidence. Since Brother Gu brought it up, I'll say it as well."

"Actually, one of the reasons why Father wanted me to follow Brother Gu and not just stay within the Five Continents Domain was because of our Huang Clan's ancient coffin."

"Brother Gu, you should have heard some things about the origins of our Huang Clan."

Gu Chen nodded:

"I've heard that your Huang Clan wasn't originally a power on the Five Continents Continent. Now that you're saying this, then it must be the Misty Clear Realm."

Huang Jiuzhao nodded:

"Brother Gu is right. According to our ancestral records, our Huang Clan was indeed a powerful force in the Misty Clear Realm in the past. Unfortunately, many changes occurred back then, causing our Huang Clan family to decline and forcing us to leave the Misty Clear Realm and come to the lower realms."

"Only..."

Huang Jiuzhao spoke, a wry smile appeared on his face:

"According to my father, the journey back then was not smooth either. The ancestor did not take the ancient coffin of the family with him. It was left in the Misty Clear Realm and its whereabouts are unknown. Therefore, this is also my mission from now on."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's heart stirred slightly:

"That makes sense. It seems this Huang Clan Ancient Coffin is indeed related to the Huang Clan."

At that moment, he looked at Huang Jiuzhao and asked:

Do you know how to open the ancient coffin?

Huang Jiuzhao glanced at Gu Chen, slightly surprised, but still said:

"My father didn't tell me, but he once said that once I found it, I would naturally understand how to unlock it."

After speaking, Huang Jiuzhao tentatively asked, somewhat uncertainly:

Why did you suddenly ask about this, Brother Gu?

This topic came up rather abruptly, and it seemed that Gu Chen was quite interested in it.

"I just received some information."

Gu Chen thought for a moment, then, without trying to hide it, said:

"The message mentioned Huang Clan Ancient Coffin, but it doesn't seem to be in the Five Continents Domain, so I thought of you and planned to confirm with you."

"Hearing you say that, this Huang Clan Ancient Coffin is indeed related to your Huang Clan. In that case, perhaps we can make some preparations and go together to take a look. If it is indeed as you say, then we can avoid wasting energy on this matter later."

After speaking, Gu Chen looked at Huang Jiuzhao.

"Ah?"

Huang Jiuzhao stared wide-eyed at Gu Chen, his face filled with disbelief:

"Really?"

Gu Chen smiled:

"Since they've said that, it can't be false. But whether it's true or not, we'll probably have to wait until we get there to find out."

Huang Jiuzhao took a deep breath:

"Brother Gu, do you have any other relevant information so I can confirm it in advance?"

Gu Chen shook his head:

"It's just a simple message; we'll have to go there to confirm."

Huang Jiuzhao looked at Gu Chen with a sigh:

"Unbelievable, truly unbelievable."

"If these words hadn't come from Brother Gu, I would have thought I was dreaming."

According to my father, the Huang Clan Ancient Coffin contains something extremely important for my future growth; if I want to reach higher levels, the coffin is an indispensable part.

Furthermore, given the vast amount of time that has passed and the changes that have taken place, finding the Huang Clan Ancient Coffin again would be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, making it an extremely challenging endeavor.

But to my utter surprise, news about the ancient coffin surfaced before I was even prepared.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't excited.

After the meal, Huang Jiuzhao greeted Gu Chen and arranged a time. Then, Huang Jiuzhao rushed back to the Huang Clan as quickly as possible.

Huang Clan.

"What? News about the ancient coffin?!"

Upon hearing what Huang Jiuzhao said, Huang Zhan 'Huang Jiuzhao eyes widened even more than they had been back then.

"What Brother Gu said seems very credible to me."

Huang Jiuzhao spoke up, looking at Huang Zhan:

"Father, is there anything noteworthy about this matter?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhan pondered for a moment:

"This matter is of utmost importance; it is of paramount importance."

The ancestors who left behind the ancient coffin were remarkably prescient.

The ancient coffin was intended for the last member of the Huang Clan bloodline, but unfortunately, it was not properly protected during the upheavals of the time and was thus lost.

Given the current status of his Huang Clan in the Five Continents Domain, it's almost certain that whatever might exist within the ancient coffin will be crucial to Huang Jiuzhao's growth.

"But this matter is rather sudden; the previous one was just resolved, and this one follows immediately."

Huang Zhan pondered for a moment, then looked outside:

"And it was Gu Chen who received this news and invited you to go together, presumably because it requires someone of the Huang Clan blood to open it."

As he spoke, Huang Zhan's face showed a mixture of understanding and some confusion.

Beside him, Huang Jiuzhao listened to Huang Zhan's words with a look of suspicion on his face, and tentatively asked:

"Does Father mean that Brother Gu actually had designs on this ancient coffin?"

"It could also be his master's intention," Huang Zhan said, the conflicted look on his face fading.

"In that case, things are clear. We don't actually need to do much; we just need to cooperate."

"Cooperate?"

Huang Jiuzhao's expression shifted:

"Does Father mean to abandon this Huang Clan Ancient Coffin?"

Huang Zhan did not answer directly, but said:

"Since he knew it was Huang Clan Ancient Coffin, asked you about it, and invited you to go, it means he likely discovered it before or not long ago, but chose not to open it by force, but instead informed us."

"This is a very respectful gesture, both to our Huang Clan and to our ancestors. After all, no matter how glorious our Huang Clan was in the past, we are now just a power in the Five Continents Domain. Given his background and status, there is no need for such treatment."

As he spoke, Huang Zhan looked at Huang Jiuzhao, his expression becoming more serious, and instructed him:

"The way to treat others is to give and take. He respects our Huang Clan, so our Huang Clan family cannot be impolite. Whatever is in the ancient coffin, if they need it, it should be given to them. As for what they don't want, we will not let our ancestors' belongings be tarnished."

Huang Jiuzhao nodded:

"Father, rest assured, Jiuzhao all of this."

Sincerity needs to be shown. If you can't show sincerity, no matter how much you say or how many promises you make, it's no different from having none at all.

Huang Zhan nodded and patted Jiuzhao on the shoulder:

"There is a trade-off between giving and receiving; the balance must be gradually understood."

After saying that, Huang Zhan turned and said:

When do you depart? I will accompany you then.

"Is Father worried about our safety?" Huang Jiuzhao asked.

"That's not it."

A Laugh in the Huang Zhan:

"The calamity in the Five Continents Domain dissipated without sweeping across the entire region, which is enough to demonstrate that his master's background and status are probably quite impressive even within the Misty Clear Realm."

"Ordinary people would never dare to be so disrespectful to him."

After a pause, Huang Zhan continued:

"Although you understand the principles now, there is still room for improvement in your interpersonal skills. This matter concerns the ancient coffin, so I will set an example for you. You should observe carefully and learn diligently."
