Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1191: Chapter 793: Then What Are You Afraid Of? He Doesn’t Even Know Us!

"What are you staring at? Did I say something wrong?" This middle-aged man seemed quite displeased with Yang Zhenshan’s gaze. "If you don’t train them well from a young age, do you expect them to be successful later?"

"I guess you don’t have enough resources to train them! Haha~~"

Yang Zhenshan seldom encountered brainless people, but today he unexpectedly ran into one.

How brainless does one have to be to say such things in public?

These words were directed at Yang Zhenshan, but many people around had similar circumstances to Yang Yanze.

With just one sentence, this person managed to offend most of the people around.

"Which family are you from?" Yang Zhenshan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The Lian family, Lian Shengqian. So what? Are you planning to retaliate?" Lian Shengqian said sarcastically.

Yang Zhenshan looked at him with an expression reserved for idiots. "I heard your family’s old ancestor is near the end of his lifespan? Hopefully, he can live a few more years."

Among the twelve families, the Lian family was already at the bottom, only slightly better because the Lu family had just recently become a prominent family. Otherwise, the Lian family would be the lowest.

The problem is, Lu Fusheng is just over a hundred years old, with nearly two hundred years of lifespan left, while the old ancestor of the Lian family? It is said he’s almost at the end of his life.

This guy isn’t worried about his family’s future but instead stirs trouble here—one wonders what’s growing in his brain.

Lian Shengqian was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Yang Zhenshan to say such things, and thought he might have misheard.

"What did you say?"

Yang Zhenshan glanced at him and didn’t bother to respond.

"Stop, how dare you insult my family’s old ancestor! You’re asking to die!"

Lian Shengqian finally regained his composure and yelled angrily.

His True Yuan surged throughout his body, and he took out a long sword, intending to strike Yang Zhenshan.

"I remind you, this is the territory of the Xuanqing Sect!" Yang Zhenshan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lian Shengqian’s sword halted immediately, and he noticed quite a few Xuanqing Sect administrators and disciples casting glances at him.

Not only is this Xuanqing Sect territory, but today is also the day the sect opens its gates to recruit disciples. How could they allow fighting here?

"You~~" Lian Shengqian was furious but had no choice but to sheath his sword.

Meanwhile, Yang Zhenshan had already disappeared into the crowd, his figure no longer visible.

Quite a few people around couldn’t help but laugh at this.

"Haha, the Lian family, such a frightful name. But I’m from the Feng family!"

"Haha, I heard the Lian family is nearing the end of its lifespan. Wonder how many years they have left!"

"It’s probably only twenty or thirty years."

"Does that mean in twenty or thirty years, the lineup of the twelve families will change again?"

"Tsk tsk, it really is a generation of Martial Gods and families!"

The Lian family still carries a notable reputation, and an ordinary small family wouldn’t dare to provoke them.

But what kind of place is this?

This is the Xuanqing Sect’s recruitment place for disciples!

Among the youths attending the Xuanqing Sect’s disciple assessment, many belonged to the twelve families. While the direct lineage might not join the sect, the collateral branches were eager to get in.

That’s why many people here come from the twelve families.

Many were likely quite happy to see the Lian family humiliated.

Lian Shengqian heard the surrounding discussions, his face turning red with anger.

"Damn it, I’ll make sure to destroy you!"

He did not dare to clash with so many people, so he directed all his fury and resentment towards Yang Zhenshan.

...

On the street, Yang Zhenshan and his group were already heading towards the inn.

"Uncle, won’t that person hold a grudge against us?" Yang Xiangheng worriedly looked back, afraid that person might catch up with them.

"Why? Are you scared?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

Yang Xiangheng said awkwardly, "Uncle, this is no small matter. The Lian family is a significant family after all!"

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, "True, if the Lian family wants to deal with us, it could be quite troublesome!"

"By the way, did I reveal my name earlier?"

Yang Xiangheng paused, "Name? No, I don’t think so!"

Yang Zhenshan flicked his sleeve, "Then there’s nothing to fear, they don’t know who we are!"

"Let’s pack up and head home today!"

Yang Xiangheng was even more puzzled, but Yang Yanze burst into laughter.

"Dad, don’t worry. If he doesn’t know, even if he wants trouble, he won’t know whom to find!" Yang Yanze said.

"Really?" Yang Xiangheng thought for a moment and realized it made sense.

"You lived wasted decades, yet you aren’t as clear-headed as Yanze!" Yang Zhenshan looked at Yang Xiangheng with disdain.

In truth, discovering their identity and background isn’t impossible; they have registered at the inn and with the Xuanqing Sect.

But with so many people coming for the Xuanqing Sect’s entrance test in these days, researching their identity and background won’t be easy.

Moreover, this is Xuanqing Sect territory, where the Lian family’s name carries little weight.

Furthermore, the Lian family would have to be quite idle to pursue them over a minor dispute.

Lian Shengqian might hold a grudge, but it’s unlikely the entire Lian family would want to waste resources over this.

Also, Yang Zhenshan is not too wary of the Lian family; unless their old ancestor personally visits, he’s not afraid of anyone else from the Lian family.

And the old ancestor is nearing the end of his lifespan, not likely to bother chasing him over such trivial matters.

However, when Yang Zhenshan and his group returned to the inn, they still packed up their things and left Green Jade City.

Not because they feared Lian Shengqian chasing them, but because they had planned to leave Green Jade City after today anyway.

Yang Qinting had already joined the Xuanqing Sect, and the rest was beyond Yang Zhenshan’s concern. There was no point in worrying, as once inside the Xuanqing Sect, Yang Qinting would rely on himself; Yang Zhenshan could at most provide some resources but not offer protection inside Xuanqing Sect.
