58: Chapter 58 Arrival in Tianlin City, He Family Ancestral Worship!

Beizhou City wasn't too far from Tianlin City.

The next morning.

Li Fan had already arrived at Tianlin City.

Although Tianlin City couldn't compare to Beizhou City, it was still considered a large city.

Walking down the streets, one could feel the city's prosperity firsthand.

The He family was very famous in Tianlin City.

Therefore, finding the location of the He family's residence and their various main industries was quite simple.

According to what Li Fan had learned.

The He family's ancestral home was located in a massive manor in the northern outskirts of the city.

However, to make managing their industries more convenient, the main members of the He family currently lived in a group of high-end villas in the eastern part of the city.

Thus, Li Fan planned to head to the eastern part of the city first to scout the area and see if there was any favorable terrain to use his Annihilation Eye.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

At the He family's ancestral manor in the north of the city.

"Master, the Young Master is doing well in the Star Sand Secret Realm and is working exceptionally hard. It seems this setback had a significant impact on him."

A Middle-aged Man who looked like a butler was currently reporting the situation to He Tieshan respectfully.

"Hmm, a little setback isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'm relieved that he can turn his shame into courage instead of giving up on himself." He Tieshan sipped his tea, a look of gratification appearing on his face.

Then, He Tieshan changed the subject. "By the way, I heard that Li Fan's social network has been fully investigated. Tell me, what's the situation? Are there any potential threats?"

The butler nodded and said calmly, "Everything has been cleared up. His parents are Awakened Ones so weak they couldn't be any weaker, and they enjoy traveling. As for his relatives, not a single one of them is successful. Even going back three generations, the strongest one only had a D-rank Talent and was a total loser. It can be said that there are absolutely no potential threats."

"If you want him dead, we can strike at any time. All it takes is one command from you."

Hearing this answer, He Tieshan was slightly stunned for a moment before he couldn't help but sneer.

"So, the Li family's ancestral grave must have smoked to produce someone like Li Fan."

"Fine, since there's no threat, just find someone to keep an eye on him for now. But remember, don't make a move and don't interfere with their lives. Once Li Fan dies, it will likely cause quite a stir, and his family will probably be in the spotlight of various media outlets."

"Our He family still needs to make a living in the light of day. Once the heat dies down, we'll go and wipe out the Li family!"

The butler was slightly taken aback, then gave a thumbs up. "Master truly thinks of everything!"

He Tieshan smiled and waved his hand at the butler's flattery.

"Enough, enough, stop sucking up. You've followed me for so many years; how could you not have thought of this?"

"Let's talk about something else. The itinerary and the guest list for today's ancestral worship should be finalized by now, right?"

The butler smiled awkwardly, not expecting his flattery to be seen through so easily, but he immediately moved on to the main business.

"The itinerary is set. We depart at 10:00 AM and arrive at noon. It's expected to finish around 2:00 PM. As for the list for this ancestral worship, it's also been confirmed. Including the younger generation of the clan, there are over four hundred people in total."

"Master, are you going this time?"

He Tieshan nodded, then waved his hand slightly. "It's just for show. I've gone for over ten consecutive years, so I won't go this year. Leave the arrangements to Old Fourth and the others."

"But remember, the display must be grand—the grander, the better. Don't worry about the budget. Because of Wenguang's matter, I've heard some rumors lately. I hope this ancestral worship will suppress those rumors as much as possible!"

Hearing this, the butler sensed some undercurrents.

It seemed that several other families had started to make a fuss about He Wenguang's matter.

However, this wasn't something he could interfere with.

What he needed to do was convey He Tieshan's orders and report various news within the clan.

...

On the other side, in the He family's villa area in the east of the city.

In the huge garden square, many young faces were now lined up neatly.

"Have you heard? Brother Wenguang was beaten up at the Beidi!"

"Huh? Isn't Brother Wenguang an S-rank? How could he get beaten up? Was it some upperclassman bullying him?"

"No, I heard it was someone from the same year, and he only has a D-rank Talent!"

"What? A D-rank Talent? You've got to be kidding me. I could kill a whole row of trash like that with one hand. How could he be a match for Brother Wenguang?"

"Why would I joke about that? The clan just isn't letting the news spread. I just got back from Beizhou City yesterday and saw the video. He really is a D-rank Talent, but there's something off about his talent—it's exceptionally powerful. He's a Specially Recruited Student."

"But anyway, Brother Wenguang really lost face this time. I didn't even dare to mention that Brother Wenguang is my older cousin while I was in Beizhou City."

"Damn, he definitely lost face. Brother Wenguang has to find a time to get even!"

"Alright, alright, the uncles and elders are here. Keep it down so they don't hear you."

...

Indeed, these were the younger generation of the He family.

Although the clan was deliberately trying to avoid and hide He Wenguang's matter, many people had still heard about it, such as these direct descendants of the He family.

Obviously, hearing that He Wenguang had been beaten like a dead dog by a D-rank Specially Recruited Student, every one of them was incredibly shocked and felt they had lost face.

He Wenguang had been the object of their admiration since they were old enough to remember.

In their understanding, he was an invincible existence among his peers!

As a result, he went to Beidi and was actually beaten by a D-rank Talent Specially Recruited Student. This was truly eye-opening and difficult for them to accept.

However, with the arrival of the family elders, the discussions among the younger generation came to an abrupt halt.

Not far away.

Dozens of He family elders walked over in a group. These people were mostly top-tier Transcendents near Level 300, and five of them were even Quasi-Saint Awakened Ones over Level 300. Walking together in their sharp black suits, they gave off an incredibly oppressive feeling.

Each of these people was a pillar of the He family.

Adding in the "Old Fourth" He Tieshan mentioned, who was a top-tier Quasi-Saint who had already reached Level 400.

The lineup for this ancestral worship could be considered almost a quarter of the He family's combat power, excluding the two Saint-level ancestors.

The arrival of the elders made many of the usually arrogant younger generation become extremely well-behaved.

At this time, a dark-skinned man in a sharp suit walked over slowly.

This person was none other than the "Old Fourth" He Tieshan had spoken of, a top-tier Quasi-Saint!

"Is there anyone who hasn't arrived yet?"

"If everyone is here, then get ready. We'll depart at ten o'clock, and the ancestral worship will officially begin at twelve!"

Old Fourth's words were very calm.

However, falling on the ears of the younger generation, they all appeared exceptionally excited.

Every ancestral worship, the He family would become the focus of the entire Tianlin City, and these youngsters would also gain a lot of exposure, which was quite a display of prestige.

At that moment, they would all be incredibly grateful to be a member of the He family!

And having heard that this ancestral worship's display would far exceed those of the past.

This undoubtedly made them look forward to it even more.
