Inside the room.

Zi Yang was sitting behind the desk and smiled at the young woman.

It was that young woman he saved from some sect or whatever.

She still had a haughty, high and mighty attitude.

It was really annoying actually.

Zi Yang smiled naturally and said “Miss Ling! How nice of you to visit!” Ling cut him off and said coldly “You asked for one entry to the Titan Sect as a favor. I am here to repay you, don’t mistake this for me trying to make relations. Choose your person and I will leave, I am very busy.”

Zi Yang nodded and said “Of course. I will gather my clansmen, this is a big event!” He shouted “Die! Xixi! Gather the clan, I have a serious announcement! We shall meet in the Grand Hall!”

He wheeled out from behind the desk and smiled, waving his arm forward, saying “Right this way, Miss Ling.” she snorted at him and walked out by herself, he chuckled silently and followed behind her.

As they came out of the door, Zi Tian happened to be walking by.

He looked at Ling and his eyes were confused before looking at his dad, who smiled and jerked his head in a certain direction.

It was towards the handles of his wheelchair…

Did this guy want him to push him around?

What about this ice cold beauty?

Was she ignored?

Zi Tian nodded and walked over, pushing Zi Yang to the Grand Hall. Ling looked at Zi Tian strangely, this youth seemed somewhat familiar?

Zi Yang looked at Ling and Zi Tian, he smiled to himself, seems like they know each other!

What a coincidence!

Anyway!

The trio arrived at the Grand Hall and all the clansmen were in attendance. Zi Yang was pushed to the throne in the middle of the room and he vaulted into it, leaving the wheelchair behind.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

He flew through the air with such grace!

10/10

Zi Yang sat on the throne and became solemn as he said “Good Evening everyone! I have gathered you all here today to announce that one of our own Zi Clansmen shall be following Miss Ling to the Titan Sect to represent our entire clan!”

The youngsters looked excited and the elders smiled happily, this was something good!

One of the Elders looked at Zi Tian and sneered, this trash couldn’t possibly be going…

He frowned and said “Patriarch!”

Zi Yang ignored him and continued “Miss Ling is a Core Disciple of the Titan Sect with an exalted Master. Truly a single step to heaven for you all! I am proud to see one of our own stepping out into the world, bringing glory to the Zi name!”

Ling looked at Zi Yang strangely, why was this guy spouting nonsense?

She was busy, you know.

Zi Yang swung his fist righteously, ignoring the elder, who said “Patriarch!”, as he said “Youngsters! Hear me! Ignite your hot blood and achieve your dreams in a single step! This is your chance!”

The youngsters had stars in their eyes and started cheering.

Ling frowned, Zi Tian covered his face, and the elder shouted with qi “PATRIARCH!”

The hall immediately quieted down and Zi Yang frowned “What.” The elder was startled and gawked for a moment before coughing and regaining his composure as he said “Patriarch, I assume you will choose your own son for this heaven sent opportunity. This humble elder would like to suggest my grandson to be the chosen individual to follow Miss Ling.”

He chuckled and added “We all know that Zi Tian is a talentless waste. It would be a shame to ruin the Clan for the sake of familial feelings.” he bowed and said loudly “I request Patriarch Zi to change his mind!”

The other elders, excluding the scripture pavilion elders, all nodded and added “I do as well.”

Zi Yang nodded and asked “Anybody else thinks so?” Zi Tian said “Father!” Zi Yang looked at him before looking away as Zi Tian shut his mouth, Ling just sneered at Zi Yang, looking at the elder in boredom.

Zi Yang watched as almost everyone, with the exception of the scripture elders, Chao Yi, Zi Tian’s maid, Die, Xixi, and the little girl on Zi Yang’s lap, raised their hands.

Though the little girl was still passed out…

Hopefully she’s not dead.

Zi Yang nodded at them and smiled “I have long decided the candidate! It shall be the First Elder’s Grandson!” Zi Tian was stunned and Zi Yang said with sadness “My own son cannot compare! Little Bing, come here.”

Little Bing was excited and ran up, smiling at his grandpa.

He bowed before Zi Yang and said “Patriarch.” Zi Yang patted his shoulder and said emotionally “You are the hope for the Zi Clan! You must show resilience, strong will, tenacity, and hard work! Do you understand? The entire clan rests on your shoulders!”

Little Bing looked up and nodded with contempt hidden in his eyes as he thought ‘You’re just a cripple, shut up bro.’ Zi Yang said righteously “There’s gold on the knees of the men from the Zi Clan, we shan’t kneel to heaven, earth, or anyone with the exception of our parents! Understand, little Bing?!”

Little Bing said thoroughly “Yes, Patriarch.”

Zi Yang smiled and said “You may return.”
