14: Accept the maid and become the master (with character design picture)

The surroundings were incredibly noisy, but Jun Lingxiao only felt a strange sensation in his heart.

Due to his life as a wealthy second-generation heir in his previous life, his personality was somewhat cold and detached; few people could enter his heart, and this was even more true after his Transmigration.

In this world, only he himself could be trusted; the Jun Family was merely a backdrop for him.

But from this very moment, looking at the young faces before him, from this moment on, the Jun Family truly came alive in his eyes.

He had gained a deeper sense of reality regarding his own identity.

"Lingxiao."

At this moment, a majestic voice rang out, and it was none other than the Old Ancestor descending from the sky.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor!"

For a moment, the people around them knelt in succession.

The Old Ancestor did not pay attention to the surrounding Disciples; instead, his gaze was fixed tightly on Jun Lingxiao.

"Jun Lingxiao, look, this is your destiny."

"You are the Divine Son. In the Jun Family, no one dares to lecture you, but precisely because of that, many truths need to be seen with your own eyes."

"No one will teach you to cherish Medicinal Pills because you are the Divine Son, and likewise, no one will tell you what kind of story lies behind these Medicinal Pills, because you are the Divine Son."

The Old Ancestor looked at Jun Lingxiao in silence.

The Jun Family now stood too high, so high that everyone had forgotten what the Jun Family was like before.

His generation was fine, but his grandfather's generation truly rose from having nothing.

Did he not see Jun Lingxiao's behavior of wasting Medicinal Pills?

No, he certainly saw it, and he knew it.

But he did not speak. It was not just him; no one else spoke either.

Why?

Because the Jun Family was not lacking.

The ten Dao Children were chosen from hundreds of thousands, and the Divine Son was one chosen from ten Dao Children.

In other words, once the identity of the Divine Son was determined, this person stood above millions of lives.

In this regard, wasting some Medicinal Pills was just wasting them.

The identity of the Divine Son could bear it.

But is this habit good?

It is definitely not good.

Alchemy requires people, herb gathering requires people, and maintaining spirit fields also requires people. To put it bluntly, every Medicinal Pill does not grow out of thin air; behind each one, countless people are needed to operate the processes.

As for snatching them from others, that involves taking huge risks.

The Jun Family is not lacking and does not fear, but this habit is definitely not good.

This was also what the Old Ancestor was worried about.

Jun Lingxiao was such a Prodigy, so much of a Prodigy that he feared the consequences would be unimaginable if this person became an enemy of the Jun Family later.

But this education was truly difficult to begin.

He was made the Divine Son the moment he was born.

No matter how much of a Prodigy a normal person is, they have to compete when they are born, competing with their peers for those ten Dao Child spots. This process is not just about selecting people, but also about gaining an understanding of the Jun Family, struggling among peers, climbing up step by step, and realizing some things step by step.

Only in this way can the final selected Divine Son be the most perfect.

But Jun Lingxiao skipped everything at the beginning, so this was the source of the Old Ancestor's worry.

Fortunately, he had seen everything just now. From the moment Jun Lingxiao guiltily looked away, he understood that Jun Lingxiao already understood.

Talent, effort, Heart-Nature—simply impeccable.

It seems this trip to the God Tablet Platform was truly the right choice.

"Old Ancestor, I understand."

Jun Lingxiao nodded, having understood what the Old Ancestor meant.

However, he then looked up and swept his gaze over the crowd kneeling with their heads bowed: "In the future, I want to come here to practice swordsmanship."

Everyone was very interesting, and he wanted to understand them better.

Of course, this was also beneficial for him to become stronger.

"Hmm... that is acceptable."

The Old Ancestor agreed after a moment of contemplation.

Only by sparring more with others can one become stronger. At the same time, Jun Lingxiao's talent would inspire the younger generation of the clan, and perhaps some would even submit to him, willing to follow him, which would also help him Cultivate his own subordinates.

It was simply beneficial and harmless.

Then he looked at An Luoxin, who was still kneeling, with a meaningful expression, clearly aware of what kind of Physique she had: "You should also accept this person; it will be good for you."

"Come to think of it, she has some connection to you. When you were three years old, if it weren't for your grandfather's opposition, she would be your fiancée now."

As soon as these words were spoken, An Luoxin kept her head down and thanked the Old Ancestor, while the look in Jun Lingxiao's eyes changed as he looked at An Luoxin.

So after all this, she was that princess his grandfather had mentioned back then?

After finishing, the Old Ancestor looked at the sword heart stone that Jun Lingxiao had split.

Then he suddenly said loudly:

"Divine Son Jun Lingxiao has broken the record of our Jun Family. He is the first Prodigy in thousands of years to make the God Tablet resonate, intimidating other families and bringing glory to our Jun Family!"

"And! He also split the sword heart stone, making him the number one person among the younger generation of our Jun Family!"

"Therefore, I hereby reward him with a set of Heavenly Emperor Sword Techniques that I personally created!"

The Old Ancestor said, taking out a Jade Slip and placing it in his palm: "The creed of our Jun Family consists of only six words! Struggle, Plunder, Possess! The strong come first. This is what the Divine Son deserves. Likewise, if anyone among you can achieve such results, rewards will naturally not be lacking."

"And you, Jun Lingxiao, there will be resonance between the strong. Just like you only had the thought of surpassing the first place when you saw the one million force, others are the same. Your appearance may give birth to quite a few Geniuses."

"Although you are already fully qualified to Rank among the peerless Prodigies—only three people in our Jun Family's younger generation have this qualification—you still cannot slack off."

The Old Ancestor first explained the reward, then gave a reminder to everyone, including Jun Lingxiao. He was truly worthy of being the Old Ancestor.

"Yes!"

The crowd responded enthusiastically. The Old Ancestor nodded slightly at this scene and then left.

As for Jun Lingxiao's grandfather, he was watching from afar. He also had something to give, but that was something he, as a grandfather, was giving to his own grandson. It was a personal matter and not suitable to be brought out on such an occasion.

Once the Old Ancestor left, everyone was young and suddenly became lively again, surrounding Jun Lingxiao and asking this and that.

"The sword technique personally created by the Old Ancestor? That counts as a Legacy of the Heavenly Emperor, right? The Divine Son is amazing!"

"Your Highness Divine Son! Will you come tomorrow? I want to spar with you and see how much of a gap there is between me and the Divine Son."

"Me too, me too! I want to as well. Those Dao Children are usually elusive; let alone sparring, we can't even see them."

"Hearing this, my hands are itching too. Although I may not be able to beat Your Highness Divine Son, I still want to spar with a strong person like you!"

The people of the Jun Family were combative. The group from the main Family all gathered around, wanting to spar with Jun Lingxiao to train.

Meanwhile, some side branches or affiliated families watched from a bit further away, their eyes filled with envy.

The Rank system of the Jun Family was not particularly strict; only the ten Dao Children and the Divine Son were above all other Disciples. But of course, there was still a distinction between the main Family and the side branches, not to mention the affiliated families.

Only one in ten thousand talents from the side branches could come to the main Family to Cultivate, and such people were as numerous as hair on an ox in the Jun Family.

Jun Lingxiao answered everyone's enthusiastic questions one by one, saying he would come tomorrow and looking forward to sparring with them.

As he spoke, Jun Lingxiao glanced through the crowd and saw that woman, An Luoxin, still kneeling there.

What did she want to do?

Thinking of this, Jun Lingxiao walked over and, under everyone's gaze, arrived in front of her.

"Hand..." Jun Lingxiao hadn't even spoken yet when An Luoxin's brows trembled slightly, and she spoke first.

It had to be said that her voice was very pleasant, crisp and melodious, with lingering echoes.

But the words she spoke left Jun Lingxiao extremely confused; he didn't know what she meant.

Although confused, he still handed his hand over.

Then, a scene that shocked everyone appeared.

Seeing An Luoxin still kneeling on the ground, she lifted her head slightly, revealing her white jade-like slender neck, exposing her most vulnerable part to Jun Lingxiao's view. Then, with her eyes slightly closed, she devoutly and earnestly offered her red lips, and then...

Gently landed a kiss on the back of Jun Lingxiao's hand.

After the kiss landed, she opened those eyes that were not unlike clear autumn waters, her gaze rippling with a hint of a smile:

"Now, I am your maid, my..."

"Young Master."
