Changyang Shōten looked at his small body and sighed inside. His face was filled with mixed feelings. In the past year, who knew how many times these scenes had appeared in his head. Now that he thought about it, it felt like it had just happened yesterday. The memories were so clear, as if they had been deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul. He could not forget them no matter what. Now, he understood that his past life was Jianchen. After his death, he had mysteriously reincarnated with his soul and memories.
As Jianchen had retained the memories of his past life as soon as he was born, he learned the language of this place soon after he was born. Afterwards, he gained a rough understanding of what kind of existence his family was from the conversations of the people around him. At the same time, he also gained a rough understanding that this world was not the world he had originally lived in, but a completely new world. It was a world that Jianchen had never heard of before.
The huge estate that Jianchen resided in was called Changyang Prefecture. Changyang Prefecture was one of the four great clans of Lore City. It held an important position in the entire city. His father was the patriarch of Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Ba. His mother was called Bi Yuntian. She was the fourth concubine of the patriarch of Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Ba. She was not the main wife. However, his mother's status in Changyang Prefecture was not low because she was a Radiant Saint Master.
Although Jianchen did not know what a Radiant Saint Master was, he did know that his mother's status in Changyang Prefecture was extremely high because of her identity as a Radiant Saint Master. She was respected by many people.
Jianchen himself was the fourth young master of Changyang Prefecture. He possessed an extremely high status. Above Jianchen, there were two older brothers and one older sister. They were Changyang Hu, Changyang Mingyue, and Changyang Ke. They were all born of the same father as Jianchen. Apart from Changyang Hu, Jianchen had seen his sister Changyang Mingyue and his third brother Changyang Ke a few times. They were all only a few years older than Jianchen. His second sister, who was the oldest, just happened to be four years old, three years older than Jianchen. His third brother, Changyang Ke, was two years older than Jianchen. He just happened to be three years old this year. Apart from them, there were many children who were direct descendants of Changyang Prefecture.
At this moment, an old man dressed as a caretaker arrived behind Jianchen. He said with a rather gentle voice, "Fourth young master, it's getting late. Madam wants you to return."
Only with that did Jianchen return to his senses. Looking at the sky, he suddenly discovered that it was already misty. It was a sign that night was about to arrive. Unknowingly, Jianchen had already stood there for an entire afternoon. Jianchen nodded slightly, "I understand. Chang Bo, I'll return immediately."
The person Jianchen called Chang Bo was the caretaker of Changyang Prefecture. Almost everything in Changyang Prefecture was taken care of by him. His status in Changyang Prefecture was not low. Even though Chang Bo was only a caretaker, he did not show any respect to anyone in Changyang Prefecture. His status was basically on the same level as Changyang Ba, the head of the family in Changyang Prefecture.
A smile appeared on Chang Bo's face. He looked at Jianchen with a glimmer of hope. Jianchen was able to walk on the ground without the support of others when he was less than half a year old. He could even speak in the eighth month. Moreover, his pronunciation was clear. He was already able to communicate normally with others. Just based on these two points, Jianchen was already vaguely known as a genius in Changyang Prefecture. At present, he had already become the person with the highest status in the middle stage of Changyang Prefecture.
At night, Jianchen accompanied his mother, Bi Yuntian, to the dining hall for dinner. The dining hall they used was a special one. Only the head of the family in Changyang Prefecture, his children, and a few concubines could use it.
When Jianchen and Bi Yuntian arrived at the dining hall, there were already three beautiful women in their twenties sitting at the round table. Aside from them, there were two children, one boy and one girl, who did not look much older than Jianchen. The boy looked to be around three or four years old. He was white and chubby. At the moment, he was sitting quietly on the bench. He was the third son of the head of the family in Changyang Prefecture, as well as the third young master of Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Ke.
As soon as he saw Jianchen enter, Changyang Ke's small eyes were filled with hostility and provocation. It was very obvious that he had some prejudice against Jianchen.
Although the four women, including Jianchen's mother, could see the hostility in Changyang Ke's eyes towards Jianchen, the four of them did not care. In their eyes, this was just a child's play. It was not a big deal at all.
The other little girl looked to be about four or five years old. She had two small braids on her head, and her bright eyes were filled with a strange spirit. She had two small dimples on her shallow smile, and she looked very cute. Just from her appearance when she was young, it was almost certain that when she grew up, she would definitely be a great beauty with a face that could cause the downfall of a city or country. She was the second child of the head of the family in Changyang Prefecture. At the same time, she was the second young miss of Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Mingyue. She was the only daughter of the head of the family in Changyang Prefecture.
"Fourth brother, you've come. Come sit!" Changyang Mingyue's faint smile became even brighter when she saw Jianchen enter. She quickly waved her hand and greeted him.
Jianchen nodded at Changyang Mingyue as a greeting. He then followed his mother to the two empty seats at the round table.
Jianchen's mother, Bi Yuntian, looked at Jianchen dotingly and said softly, "Xiang 'er, quickly greet your aunts, second sister, and third brother."
Jianchen was helpless. He looked at the delicate women and said, "Greetings first aunts, second aunts, third aunts, second sister, and third brother." Ever since she found out that Jianchen had learned how to speak, his mother, Bi Yuntian, had been overjoyed. She had also dragged Jianchen to learn some basic etiquette. Jianchen, on the other hand, did not resist his mother's suggestion. He also knew that he would grow up in this new world in the future.
When he first arrived here, Jianchen had an intense struggle over his identity. After all, he had reincarnated from his previous life. Since he had retained the memories of his previous life, he was still Jianchen. As for his current identity, Jianchen had rejected it a little. However, as time passed, he gradually accepted his current identity. No matter what, Bi Yuntian was still his mother. Although he had mysteriously retained the memories of his previous life after his death, those memories had occurred in another world. They had nothing to do with this world. Now, Jianchen had hidden his past deep in his mind. He planned to accept everything here with an open heart.
The three women smiled at Jianchen. One of them, who was dressed in luxurious yellow clothes, smiled and said, "Sister Yun 'er, Xiangtian is becoming more and more sensible. Sigh … It's really hard to imagine that he's just a one-year-old child. I really envy you for having such a smart son." The woman in luxurious yellow clothes was the second wife of the patriarch of Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Ba. She was Bai Yushuang, Changyang Mingyue's mother.
"That's right, sister Yun 'er. Second sister is right. I've found that I like Xiangtian more and more." The woman sitting beside Jianchen also smiled. Although she said that, her gaze towards Jianchen was calm. She was the third wife of the patriarch of Changyang Prefecture, Yu Fengyan.
"Xiangtian is indeed the most talented child I've ever seen. He could walk by himself when he was half a year old, and he could speak when he was eight months old. This is something that no other child of his age can do. I really look forward to the test of Saint Force and potential when Xiangtian turns three. I hope that he can give us all a surprise then." The woman who spoke was slightly older. She gave off a noble aura. She was the first wife of the patriarch of Changyang Prefecture. Her name was Ling Long.
As soon as Ling Long finished speaking, a deep male voice suddenly rang out, "That's right. I also look forward to the test of Saint Force when Xiang 'er turns three. I hope that he can give us all a surprise." With that, a young man who was close to thirty walked into the dining hall. The young man gave off an aura of superiority. He wore a white robe with golden edges, and his long black hair casually draped over his shoulders. He gave off a very ethereal feeling.
"Husband!"
"Father!"
As soon as they saw the young man, the seven people sitting at the dining table stood up at the same time and greeted him. Jianchen was no exception as he greeted him softly.
This young man was the patriarch of Changyang Prefecture, Changyang Ba.
Changyang Ba went straight to an empty seat at the dining table and sat down. With a gentle smile on his face, he looked at Jianchen and said softly, "Xiang 'er, are you happy in the residence?"
Jianchen nodded slightly and said, "Not bad!"
Changyang Ba continued with a smile on his face, "Xiang 'er, if you feel bored in the residence, you can go out and relax. You can also see the outside world."
"Yes, father!" Jianchen said softly.
Seeing that Jianchen was so sensible, not at all like a one year old child, Changyang Ba felt an indescribable joy in his heart.
The family had a joyous dinner and the meal was quickly finished. After the meal, Jianchen returned to his room alone. According to his age, he should have slept with his mother, Bi Yuntian, but Jianchen took the initiative to ask for a room to himself. Regarding this issue, Jianchen was very firm. In the end, his mother could not persuade him and could only helplessly agree.
At night, Jianchen sat cross-legged on his bed. His hands were steadily placed on his knees with his palms facing the sky. He was silently practicing the first level of the Azulet Sword Codex.
The Azulet Sword Codex was the greatest bargaining chip that allowed Jianchen to roam the Jianghu at the young age of twenty. This was a secret cultivation technique. Not only did it record a very profound mental cultivation technique, it also contained some powerful sword moves.
This Azulet Sword Codex was discovered when Jianchen was playing in the mountains. He accidentally fell into a pool of water below a cliff and did not die. After waking up, he found it in a cave. Afterwards, he ate fish every day. After ten years, Jianchen was able to fly up from the bottom of the cliff and return to the surface.
Jianchen was originally an orphan. His parents had both died during the war. When he was young, he was adopted by a kind old man. When he left the cliff, ten years had already passed. When he returned to the small village, his adoptive grandfather had already passed away many years ago. In the end, Jianchen, who had no one to rely on, paid his respects to his adoptive grandfather and left the small village to roam the Jianghu alone.
Ever since Jianchen accepted this world and his current identity, he began to practice the Azulet Sword Codex. He had already been practicing for half a year now.
