Divine King of Honour-Chapter 293 Returning to One’s Ancestral Roots

Feeling!

There was no reason whatsoever.

It was simply a feeling.

Xu Nian could determine that the youth before him was from Longyu Mountain Xu Family.

Xu Nian took a deep breath and walked toward the youth.

"Are you Xu Nian?"

Sensing Xu Nian approach,

The youth then raised his head to look at Xu Nian and spoke indifferently.

Xu Nian unconsciously frowned.

The first words uttered by the youth left him discontent.

Not even a self-introduction, just an outright interrogation.

And the tone was so condescending, clearly not taking him seriously.

"Yes," Xu Nian responded indifferently, his tone equally dignified.

Upon hearing this, a slight smirk appeared on the youth's face.

It seemed he utterly scorned Xu Nian's dignified demeanor.

"You should have guessed my identity. I am Xu Fenn, a direct descendant of the Xu family, your mother is my aunt, and thus you are also my cousin," the youth said indifferently.

Xu Nian sneered inwardly.

Instantly, any positive feelings he might have had for this youth dropped to zero.

"Considered my cousin?"

Such a tone filled with disdain and mockery.

"So, what is your purpose here?" Xu Nian didn't want to interact much with the youth, so he got straight to the point.

Hearing this, the youth laughed.

"My purpose here is simple: to take you back to the Xu family to acknowledge your ancestors and return to your roots!"

The youth's tone turned arrogant, especially emphasizing the last four words as if acknowledging his roots was some glorious matter.

But Xu Nian just laughed.

Acknowledging roots?

The Xu family had never done anything to benefit him.

And now with his mother detained in the Heavenly Prison of the Xu family, they expected him to acknowledge his ancestors?

Wasn't that a joke?

"Why should I acknowledge my ancestors? Is it because if I do, the Xu family will release my mother?" Xu Nian asked Xu Fenn coldly.

"Impossible; your mother broke the clan rules and must be punished. As for acknowledging your ancestry, it's granting you a chance for redemption. Didn't you change your name from Qin Nian to Xu Nian for that reason?" Xu Fenn said from a position of superiority, disdain flashing in his eyes.

"Ha ha!" Xu Nian couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

So in the Xu family's eyes, his changing his surname was to ingratiate himself with them?

He didn't even know what the Xu family was when he decided to change his name.

How could he possibly think of attaching himself to the Xu family?

"You don't need to pretend; being surnamed Xu is something to be proud of. You should feel lucky that your veins carry the Xu family's bloodline, something impossible for others even if they desired it," Xu Fenn declared proudly.

Xu Nian, upon hearing this, laughed even more out of sheer anger.

Feel lucky to have the Xu family's bloodline?

Such boundless arrogance from the Xu family.

He genuinely hadn't expected the Xu family to be so arrogant.

A surname alone could bring such a strong sense of pride.

"You are mistaken; the reason I changed my name to Xu Nian is that my mother has the surname Xu, none other," Xu Nian said sternly.

"Does it make any difference?" Xu Fenn said haughtily.

"Yes, it does. If my mother had the surname Li or Wang, I would take Li or Wang as my surname, not Xu," Xu Nian declared proudly.

His tone exuded a strong sense of pride.

Xu Fenn's expression turned cold in an instant, he had not expected Xu Nian to say such words.

He had not anticipated that Xu Nian would refuse to acknowledge his ancestors and return to his clan.

"I had investigated some of your deeds before, you offended members of the Fang Family, and if you join the Xu Family, you could still survive, otherwise, once the Fang Family comes for you, the only path left for you will be death." Xu Fenn said angrily.

"That's not for you to worry about, I will handle it myself, even if I die at the hands of the Fang Family, it has nothing to do with the Xu Family." Xu Nian responded again.

His tone was resolute and firm, without the slightest hesitation.

"You..." Xu Fenn raged, he had not expected Xu Nian to be so decisive and straightforward.

This was completely different from what he had envisioned before coming here.

"If there's nothing else, then I shall take my leave." Xu Nian said and then prepared to turn and leave.

There was really nothing to discuss with this Xu Fenn.

Even though this Xu Fenn was his cousin, this guy had been putting on airs from the start, showing no trace of familial affection.

For such a relative, Xu Nian would rather not have.

"Halt!"

However, just at that moment, Xu Fenn slapped the table and stood up.

"Is there anything else?" Xu Nian turned and asked.

Hearing this, Xu Fenn's eyes squinted for a moment, then he coldly said, "Your mother ran away from home back then and stole our Xu Family's Dragon Jade; although she claimed to have lost it, I believe it should be with you, so please return it to its rightful owner."

Xu Nian's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.

"This must be your true purpose in coming here, mustn't it?" Xu Nian said disdainfully.

What nonsense about acknowledging ancestors and returning to the clan?

What protection from the Xu Family?

It was all fabricated by Xu Fenn.

Perhaps the higher-ups in the Xu Family didn't even know Xu Fenn was here, though it might also be possible that they directed him.

Regardless, it was absolutely impossible for the Xu Family to get the Black Jade back.

This Black Jade was the only thing his mother left for him, and he would never let anyone else have it.

Besides, the Yetian God Emperor resided within the Black Jade.

How could Xu Nian possibly hand it over so easily?

"That piece of Black Jade was lost by me on the mountain two years ago; if you want to look for it, go to the hills behind Cloud Sea City!" Xu Nian answered straightforwardly.

He was telling the truth, the Black Jade had indeed been lost in the hills back then.

It was only that Murong Xue had found it and had since returned it to him.

"There's no proof in your word alone, hand over your storage ring, and after I check it and if nothing is there, I will return it to you." Xu Fenn said coldly.

Xu Nian's eyebrows furrowed instantly.

A storage ring wasn't something to be inspected upon demand.

Every person's storage ring contained many secrets and treasures, and unless one was dead, they would never allow others to probe it.

For example, in Xu Nian's storage ring was a bead from the Chen Family Ancestral Land; it was a supreme treasure.

Even Xu Family could not produce such a treasure.

Xu Fenn might be tempted if he saw it.

"It's impossible, I won't let you inspect the storage ring, and if you don't believe me, there's nothing else I can do. Goodbye!" Xu Nian turned and walked away.

"Hmph, to me, you seem guilty of theft, and today if you do not hand over the Black Jade, do not think about leaving." The young man coldly snorted, then stretched a hand to strike towards Xu Nian from behind.

His palm was infused with powerful Spiritual Energy.

Xu Nian sensed the fierce energy coming from behind.

Without any hesitation, he immediately performed the Luotian Palm, striking back with a palm.

"Boom!"

Terrifying Spiritual Energy scattered, exploding all the tables and chairs around.

The doors and windows also shattered in a moment.

Both were blown away by the force.

Xu Nian stumbled back three steps before stabilizing his stance.

And Xu Fenn also took a step back.

He looked at Xu Nian with a face full of surprise.

He hadn't expected Xu Nian to be able to withstand his palm.
