Chapter 1064 Tian Family

After leaving Meixiu and the others in the Cultivators' Haven to train, Yuan made his way to Tian Chenyu's home.

However, he quickly realized a problem.

'It's been millions of years since then, and this city clearly has gone through many changes. The chances of my old home being in the same location is probably zero…'

After pondering for some time, Yuan decided to check the place just in case it was still there.

Sometime later, he arrived at the location of Tian Chenyu's home— or where it was supposed to be.

However, it was quickly made clear to Yuan that his home no longer existed. This location that used to be Tian Chenyu's home has been replaced by a restaurant.

Yuan sighed, "I knew it was pointless. After all, millions of years have passed since Tian Chenyu's era. There's no way his home would still be here after so long."

"Don't give up, Brother Yuan." Xiao Hua said to him.

He smiled, "You're right. I shouldn't give up so quickly."

He approached the restaurant a moment later.

"Welcome to the Heavenly Restaurant. How many guests?" The waitress at the front asked when they entered the building.

"Hello, this may be sudden, but I have a question. Do you know anything about the Tian Family that used to live here? If my memories serve me right, this place used to be their home." Yuan asked the waitress with a handsome smile on his face, which made it hard for her to refuse.

"Yes, I know of the Tian Family. In fact, they are the owners of this restaurant." The waitress said a moment later.

"Really?! Where can I find them? I would like to speak with them!"

"Um… What relationship do you have with the Tian Family? They're not really friendly with strangers." The waitress asked him.

"Our ancestors knew each other, and my ancestor owed the Tian Family a favor, so I am going to return that favor in my ancestor's stead." Yuan calmly said.

"If that's the case… Let me give you the Tian Family's current address." The waitress nodded.

Sometime later, Yuan left the restaurant and went to the location given to him by the waitress.

"So this is where the Tian Family of this generation resides…" Yuan mumbled to himself as he stood before the residence of the Tian Family.

The building looked nothing like the one in his memories, but he still felt a nostalgic feeling from it for some reason, almost as though he instinctively knew he belonged here.

He approached the front doors and knocked on it with Xiao Hua by his side.

A few moments later, an old woman opened the doors and stepped outside.

"What do you want?" The old lady had an unfriendly aura around her, and she looked a little angry for some reason.

"If you're from the Lin Family, then you can turn around because the Young Lady won't see any of you!"

Yuan raised an eyebrow at her behavior, but he remained calm and spoke, "I think there's been a misunderstanding. I am here on behalf of my ancestor, who owes a great debt to the Tian Family."

The old lady sneered at his words and said, "That's the worst excuse so far. Even a dog could come up with a better story than you! Now scram, dogs from the Lin Family!"

"Eh? But I am not from the Lin Family. Tian Chenyu, do you know of this name?" Yuan said with a stiff smile on his face.

"Tian Chenyu?!" The old lady's eyes widened with shock.Content © 2024.

"H-How do you know of this name?! Who are you?!"

"I apologize for the late introduction. My name is Yuan. I have recently learned that my ancestors owed a great debt to the Tian Family, but he was unable to repay that debt before he passed away, so I came here to repay his debt for him. If there's anything I can do for the Tian Family, don't hesitate to ask me."

Since they were technically his family and Tian Chenyu never really got the chance to help his family, as he was too busy dealing with demons, Yuan decided to assist the Tian Family instead.

"Please wait here for a minute. Since I am just a caretaker, I cannot let you in by myself. I will go speak with the head of the family right now." The old lady bowed to Yuan before closing the door.

Yuan proceeded to wait outside.

Meanwhile, inside the residence, the old lady walked past a bronze statue in the middle of the garden to speak with a middle-aged man.

"What? Someone is here to return a debt?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows after hearing this.

"Yes, and he claims that his ancestors knew our ancestors."

"How foolish. Do you really believe that? He's probably using that as an excuse to intrude on our family. Let him be." The middle-aged man casually waved his hand.

"But he knew the name of our ancestor, Tian Chenyu…" The old lady saved this information for last.

"What?! Why didn't you say this sooner?! Nobody outside the family should know his name! And since we've all taken an oath to never reveal this name to anybody outside the family, there's no way an outsider would know about it!"

Although most people in the Nine Heavens forgot about Tian Chenyu's name, the Tian Family never forgot it. In fact, Tian Chenyu's family made it so that all descendants are required to remember this name and pass it down to their children, which has become their tradition.

However, they also made everyone swear an oath to never reveal Tian Chenyu's real identity to outsiders or they would die a horrible death.

The middle-aged man and the old lady left the room shortly after.

Sometime later, they brought Yuan and Xiao Hua into their residence.

Once they were all seated, the middle-aged man said to the old lady, "Go bring us some tea."

"I understand." The old lady bowed to them before leaving the room.
