Extra: Far Ahead (Part 2)

“This…”

Facing the enraged Zhu You Feifei, Zhuyou Guangsheng’s expression froze, and for a moment, he had no words to respond.

At this moment, Zhu You Guangdu stepped forward, “Feifei, what you said is not wrong. Your Family Head’s Bloodline has indeed made great contributions to the Zhu You Family.

But so what? It is only right for everyone in my Zhu You Family to contribute to the Family.”

“Right, is it? Then why are your three sons all fine, but my parents are gone?

Why did my parents stand up for the Zhu You Family back then, while your three sons were more cowardly than the last, not even daring to raise their heads?”

“Uh!”

As an elder, Zhu You Guangdu had not expected that this little girl, Zhu You Feifei, would be so sharp when she got fierce, and he too was left speechless.

“Alright, stop arguing. Everyone here is of the Zhu You Family’s Bloodline, and we are all thinking for the Family.”

Zhu You Guangyuan stepped forward and waved his hand. Zhuyou Guangsheng and Zhu You Guangdu both retreated.

He ignored Zhu You Feifei and instead looked at the expressionless Guangji.

“Big Brother, no one has selfish motives today; everything is for the Zhu You Family.

To be the Family Head, one must first have strength. I believe you admit this point. My strength is much greater than yours now.

Furthermore, there is another point: what is most important for a Family? It is the Legacy.

I now have three sons and nine Grandsons. My eldest son, Zhu You Xian, is even a Martial Dao Genius, already at the Earth Rank Peak. He is bound to achieve great things in the future and will be able to lead my Zhu You Family to greater heights and further distances.

In comparison, you are far lacking. Regardless of why your nephew died back then, he is gone after all.

Now you have neither sons nor Grandsons. Without a Bloodline, how can the thousand-year enterprise of my Zhu You Family be passed down? You have no descendants; isn’t it a bit unreasonable for you to still cling to the position of Family Head?”

Zhu You Feifei angrily shouted, “You’re talking nonsense! My Big Brother is clearly alive and well!”

“Alive and well?”

Zhu You Guangyuan shook his head, revealing a hint of mockery. “Do you really think we’re fools? Is the current Zhu You Sword still the Zhu You Sword of old? He’s a Corpse, do you understand? Even if he’s a Heavenly Corpse, he’s still a Corpse!”

Zhu You Feifei’s face turned red with anger. “Don’t forget the last Kunlun chaos, the great calamity of the Zhu You Family! It was my Big Brother who, with Ye Yixian, saved the entire Family.”

Zhu You Guangyuan curled his lips. “So what? Can he have children? Can he produce offspring? Can he continue the Bloodline of my Zhu You Family?

Since he can’t do anything, what’s the difference between a living person and a dead person? Was I wrong to say he has no descendants?”

“You… you ungrateful…”

Zhu You Feifei was so angry her lungs were about to burst. She hadn’t expected an elder of the Zhu You Family to say such heartless words.

Just as she was about to lash out again, Guangji raised his hand to stop her.

The Old Man slowly rose from his seat, his face full of sorrow and desolation. He had poured his heart and Soul into the Zhu You Family, only to end up being called someone with no descendants.

These four words were like a sharp sword, piercing directly into the depths of his Soul, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Zhu You Guangyuan, Zhuyou Guangsheng, and Zhu You Guangdu stood by, showing no guilt at this scene. Instead, a hint of joy welled up in their hearts.

They knew Guangji too well. Seeing the Old Man’s appearance, he was surely going to abdicate, and the Family Head position would belong to them from now on.

Moreover, they had come prepared. They had previously found out that Ye Bufan had returned, but he hadn't arrived at the Xiangxi Zhu You Family for a year, nor had they seen any trace of Ye Tian, or even any news.

In their opinion, Ye Tian must have died outside, and Ye Bufan, with his current status and position, would no longer bother with Guangji.

The happiest of all was Zhu You Xian. Among the many Disciples of the Zhu You Family, he was considered a very outstanding one.

However, before, with Guangji above him and Zhu You Sword below, he simply couldn't see any chance to rise.

But now the situation had changed. As long as his father, Zhu You Guangyuan, took over as Family Head, it wouldn't be long before that throne would be his.

Looking at the Family Head’s dejected appearance, his heart was blooming with joy, just waiting for the other party to abdicate.

Guangji was indeed thinking that. He was tired, and truly had had enough; he was physically and mentally exhausted.

Just as he was about to abdicate and hand over the seal, a cold voice, filled with endless anger, came from mid-air, “Who said my branch has no descendants!”

As the words fell, two figures pushed the door open and entered. The one leading was none other than Ye Tian, followed by a heavily pregnant Sophie.

Upon seeing the two, everyone was stunned. Guangji’s body trembled even more, and two lines of turbid old tears streamed down from the corners of his eyes.

Ye Bufan’s return to Earth caused such a huge commotion; how could the Family Head of the Zhu You Family not know about it?

But he did not visit, nor did he inquire about Ye Tian’s news.

In his view, if Ye Tian was fine, he would surely return to the Zhu You Family. Since he hadn't returned, it meant he was in great danger.

His Grandson’s life was originally given by someone else, so even if he had truly died, he couldn’t go and question it.

A year passed in the blink of an eye, and he had already come to believe that Ye Tian was dead. That was why the phrase “no descendants” had deeply pained his heart.

But now, his Grandson suddenly returned, and the immense surprise left him somewhat overwhelmed for a moment.

Zhu You Feifei, next to him, was the same. Although she didn't admit it verbally, deep down she also thought her Big Brother had passed away.

As for the other members of the Zhu You Family, some were shocked, some were disappointed; in short, everyone had their own thoughts.

Ye Tian was also emotionally agitated. He strode forward and knelt before Guangji.

“Grandpa, your unworthy Grandson, Zhu You Sword, has returned!”

Bang, bang, bang, he kowtowed three times, then introduced Sophie to Guangji and Zhu You Feifei, finally saying, “Grandpa, your Granddaughter-in-law is already pregnant. This time, we’ve returned to the ancestral hall for her to give birth.

From now on, my Zhu You Family will have successors, and we won’t have to tolerate others’ attitudes anymore.”

“Granddaughter-in-law, great-Grandson, this is wonderful! My lineage, Guangji, has a successor!”

Guangji laughed heartily. After laughing for a long time, two lines of hot tears again flowed from the corners of his eyes, weeping with joy. At this moment, his heart was truly overjoyed.

His Grandson had returned safely, and had brought back a pregnant Granddaughter-in-law; it was simply a heaven-sent blessing.

“This is wonderful! We’ll go to the ancestral hall right now! Feifei, quickly inform the housekeeper to find a midwife and prepare all the birthing supplies…”

Even though Guangji was the Family Head, even though he was experienced and knowledgeable, and even though he had deep composure, under the immense excitement and joy, he still appeared somewhat flustered and at a loss.

Zhu You Feifei was equally overjoyed. She agreed and prepared to leave, but was stopped.

“Wait a moment.”

The one blocking her way was Zhu You Xian. His heart was filled with extreme annoyance.

If it were just Zhu You Sword returning, it would be better, as the other party was a Corpse and still unable to produce offspring, so there was still a high possibility that Guangji would abdicate.

But now, the other party had brought back a wife who was about to give birth. This was intolerable! If things continued like this, he would never be able to sit in the Family Head’s position until he died.

At this moment, he could no longer care about much else and directly stepped forward, “Family Head, the ancestral hall of my Zhu You Family is not a place just anyone can enter!”

(Seeing this, are you confused? Don't know how the title of this extra chapter came about? It will be revealed tomorrow, hahaha.)
