Was it really good to hand over the Sima family to her?
They had never thought about this question. When they knew about her talent and ability, they only thought that there was hope for the revival of the Sima family.
But they never thought about it. Was it really good to hand over the Sima family to her?
With her luck, she would definitely experience a lot of things in the future. She also had a lot of things to do. Handing over the Sima family to her would definitely restrict her footsteps.
"Actually, to help the Sima family revive, you don't have to take it over." Sima Youyue continued, "The current head of the family is Great Grandfather, but isn't Great Uncle He Shun the one who is really managing the family?"
Sima Qing looked at her and was sure that she really didn't want to. He sighed and said, "Why is your personality the same as your father?"
"I'm my father's child." Sima Youyue knew that he was giving in by saying this, so she smiled.
"Hmph, don't laugh. This matter hasn't been decided yet!" Sima Qing said, "They're here, let's go."
Sima Liu Xuan and Sima Zhi Yuan came up and bowed solemnly to Sima Qing.
"Old Ancestor."
"How embarrassing, you've made yourself like this!" Sima Qing looked at him with his hands behind his back, "Just stay in the family in the future, don't think about these things."
Sima Liu Xuan bowed slightly, neither saying nor denying.
Sima Youyue pursed her lips. This guy, he obviously wanted her father to be safer at home, but his words were so smelly.
"Let's go." Sima Qing brought them into the spirit barrier. There was nothing at the top of the mountain, but there was a majestic ancestral hall.
The door of the ancestral hall was the same as the door of the Sima residence, but this was a smaller version.
Sima Qing came to the ancestral hall and stood in front of the stone lion. He reached out and pressed on its left eye, and the door of the ancestral hall opened automatically.
"Let's go in."
Sima Qing and Sima Zhi Yuan walked in first, Sima Youyue and Sima Liu Xuan followed behind.
The moment they entered the door, Sima Youyue felt a force stopping her, and then something seemed to be scanning her.
"Only those who have the bloodline of the Sima family can enter here." Sima Liu Xuan explained.
"Then why haven't people like Mother come in before?" Sima Youyue asked curiously.
"They came in through another tunnel. In that passage, as long as you have the aura of a man from the Sima family, you can do it. "Speaking of this, Sima Liu Xuan's face turned slightly red.
Alright, now she knew what that aura meant.
They passed through the courtyard and came to the center of the ancestral hall. Before they could push the door open, it opened from the inside.
"Patriarch, Old Ancestor, Young Master Liu Xuan, Young Miss." A stooped old man came out from inside, bowed to them, then turned and left.
"This is the guardian of the ancestral hall. His strength is not lower than the Patriarch's. " Sima Liu Xuan didn't introduce that person to Sima Youyue, but she could hear his respect for that old man from his few sentences.
Sima Youyue guessed that this old man must have a high status in the family. Otherwise, he would not have left after giving a bow.
They entered the ancestral hall. The huge ancestral hall was filled with memorial tablets. At a glance, there were probably a few thousand of them.
"These memorial tablets are the memorial tablets of the direct descendants. The collateral descendants are not qualified to enter here." Sima Liu Xuan said.
"Then where are they?"
"There are several auxiliary ancestral halls next to it. The important people in the family are in that ancestral hall. "
While Sima Youyue was explaining, Sima Qing lit a few incense sticks and distributed them to everyone. Then, he led them to offer incense to the ancestors of the past.
Sima Youyue was the youngest in the family, so naturally, she was the last to offer incense. When she placed the incense on the incense table, she suddenly felt like a lifetime had passed.
The moment she placed the incense on the incense table, countless scenes flashed in front of her eyes. It was as if she saw the prosperity and decline of a family. At this moment, she felt like she was a member of this family. The blood in her body seemed to be surging.
After a long time, Sima Qing brought them to the side of the anteroom.
Although it was called an anteroom, it wasn't small. It was just much smaller than the ancestral hall.
Sima Qing took down a brocade box from the wall and opened it. There were many rolls of brocade in it. He took out the largest brocade and injected spiritual energy into it and threw it into the air.
The brocade flashed with golden light and slowly opened. It was about the size of a wall. It was densely filled with names.
Sima Qing pointed at one of the places. The words in that area were enlarged. Sima Youyue saw many familiar names. For example, Sima Zhi Yuan, Sima He Shun, Sima Liu Xuan, Sima Liu Feng, Sima Liu Yun and Sima Yi Fei.
There was a blank space beside Sima Liu Feng. Sima Youyue guessed that it was her father's position.
As expected, Sima Qing got Sima Liu Xuan to bleed. He took out a brush from the box and dipped it in his blood. He wrote his name in the blank space. Then he pulled out a line and wrote 'Wife Yu Ke Luo'. He pulled a line between him and Yu Ke Luo and wrote 'Daughter Sima Youyue'.
After that, he even got Sima Youyue to squeeze out a drop of blood and dripped it on her name.
Sima Youyue watched as her blood seeped into the brocade. She thought that she had really returned to her family.
She, too, was someone with a family!
This was different from the family that Sima Lie and the rest gave her. At that time, there were few people and simple relationships. Everyone only doted on her. But the family had a long history. There were many branches and they were more united.
Sima Liu Xuan watched as his name appeared on the genealogy again. His emotions were fluctuating.
Things were the same, but people were different.
Just when Sima Youyue thought that it was over, a gentle force came from the genealogy and enveloped Sima Youyue.
"This is …" The three of them were shocked.
"Family inheritance!" Sima Qing murmured, "How many years has it been? The genealogy has released the power of inheritance!"
Family inheritance?
Sima Zhi Yuan and Sima Liu Xuan knew about the existence of inheritance, but it was their first time seeing it. Shock could be used to describe their feelings.
Sima Qing sighed. If Sima Youyue was added to the genealogy, this scene would have happened decades ago.
If they knew about this earlier, they wouldn't have let her leave the family. Even if there was pressure, they would have kept her and nurtured her well.
The gentle light spread out quickly, passing through the walls and spreading out from the ancestral hall.
"This is …"
The people in the family were enveloped by that power. That gentle power made them feel comfortable all over. It was as if something was sprouting in their minds.
"Feel it!" Sima He exclaimed softly and said to the people around him, "Feel it on the spot."
When those people heard it, they all sat down cross-legged and tried to grasp the sprouting in their minds.
More and more people closed their eyes to feel it. At this moment, the entire Sima family seemed to have quietened down. Something was quietly changing.
