The elegant middle-aged man was directly sent flying. The old man's complexion suddenly changed. His eyes suddenly flashed and he shouted loudly: "Who are you?"
The elegant middle-aged man flew upside down in mid-air and then landed in front of the old man, assuming a defensive posture. However, the man in front of him was still motionless, as if he had not felt anything at all.
"Don't be nervous, Master has no malicious intent!" At this time, Xiaoxian was suddenly awakened from his practice and said in a formal manner.
At this time, the two finally noticed the existence of Xiaoxian, but their attention was attracted by the sudden appearance of Ye Xiwen. Who would notice the existence of Xiaoxian in the corner next to them?
"Who are you?" The elegant middle-aged man shouted and was ready to attack at any time. However, he still relaxed a lot when facing Xiaoxian. At this time, Xiaoxian's cultivation was only at the Houtian realm, the gap between them was too big.
"This old man is Zhang Li. May I know who Your Excellency is and why have you appeared in my Zhang family's ancestral temple?" The old man asked, his eyes staring at Ye Xiwen's back.
"Zhang Li … …"
Hearing this name, Ye Xiwen's back finally moved and he turned around.
Imprinted in Zhang Li's eyes was an excessively young face. However, when he looked at his eyes, they were gray and lifeless, as if they had experienced a thousand or ten thousand years. They were like a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest fluctuation.
In these ten days, Ye Xiwen had completely fallen into a dead silence. Although he was prepared, when he really saw the memorial tablets of his parents and relatives, he was still unable to extricate himself, and the world collapsed.
When looking at Zhang Li, there was a slight fluctuation in his eyes and he said: "You are the current master of Zhang family, Zhang Li?"
Zhang Li and the elegant middle-aged man were suddenly startled. Sure enough, Ye Xiwen had come for them. From the outside, the Zhang family's ancestral temple seemed to be nothing special, but the entire mountain was actually under strict security and precautions. Usually, there would not be too strict security, after all, this was just an ancestral temple. It could be said that it was important, but it could also be said that it was not important. Even if it was destroyed, it would not damage the foundation of Zhang family.
But at the same time, it was also the spiritual sustenance of the Zhang Family, so they would arrange for more strict security on normal days. It was impossible for ordinary people or ordinary demonic beasts to enter.
However, a month ago, he had secretly ordered that he would come back to worship the ancestors. Although he did not alarm the high-ranking officials in the city, the guards of the ancestral shrine were all trusted subordinates of the Zhang family who had served the Zhang family for many years, so there was no need to worry that the secret would be leaked.
It was reasonable to say that a thorough search should have been carried out by now. So, how could a person sneak in? Even a peak level sage expert like him hadn't discovered this person.
Now, all the high-ranking officials in Huaxia were powerful cultivators. It was impossible to assassinate them as easily as it was in the past. They knew everything that happened within a hundred miles.
However, he didn't notice the person in front of him. How could he not be vigilant?
As one of the most influential big shots in Huaxia, there were too many people who wanted to deal with him, so he had to be careful.
"That's right, I am Zhang Li!" Zhang Li said with rapt attention.
Ye Xiwen looked at his old nephew, and felt even more pain in his heart. Thousands of years had passed, and everything had changed.
Zhang Li looked at Ye Xiwen's face, and felt that it was very familiar. It seemed as if he had seen it somewhere before. Suddenly, he glanced at the memorial tablet that belonged to his uncle.
The young man with a brilliant smile on the memorial tablet was exactly the same as the person in front of him.
His expression suddenly became bitingly cold, and a murderous intention burst out in his eyes. He angrily shouted, "Your Excellency, what do you mean by this? You have trespassed into my Zhang family's ancestral shrine, and even want to insult my uncle?"
"Why do you say that?" Ye Xiwen's eyes gradually returned to normal, and he asked.
"Aren't you asking the obvious? Why did you disguise yourself as my uncle?" Zhang Li shouted. Although he had never seen his uncle with his own eyes, but when his father was alive, he often talked about this matter. Later, he sent people to search for his uncle for many years, but they couldn't find his whereabouts in the end, so he could only give up.
The younger generation of the Zhang family might not be very clear about this matter. After all, Ye Xiwen had never appeared for them, and they didn't have any interaction with him. It was the same as the ancestors of a long time ago. They wouldn't have the slightest interaction except for the memorial tablets.
However, Zhang Li was very clear about this matter because he had been responsible for sending people to search for Ye Xiwen's whereabouts for a long time. Therefore, he felt that Ye Xiwen was so familiar when he saw him for the first time. Even if hundreds of years had passed, he still had a deep impression of him.
Ye Xiwen grinned, and said with a faint smile, "How do you know that I am disguising myself? Can't I look like this since I was born? You are also a sage realm cultivator, can't you see through the disguise at a glance? "
"Eh …" Zhang Li was speechless. This was his biggest doubt. In this world, both science and martial arts were equally important. Whether it was the disguise of martial arts or the plastic surgery of science, it was impossible to hide from his divine sense.
He could see through it at a glance.
However, he couldn't see the slightest flaw when he looked at the person in front of him. It seemed as if he had been born with this appearance.
"Humph, so what if you look like this innately? Who is driving you? Don't think that you can disguise as my uncle just because you look like him!" Zhang Li immediately said. More than a thousand years had passed. Even if his uncle was still alive, it was impossible for him to look like a young man. This was his biggest flaw.
He had already determined that Ye Xiwen had come to swindle and deceive him. He had even used his deceased uncle to swindle and deceive him. Zhang Li was extremely angry in his heart. He couldn't allow this person to be rampant.
"It has been a thousand years since my uncle went missing. How can he still be alive? Even if he is alive, he won't look like this. This is your biggest flaw!"
"Do I need to disguise myself?" Ye Xiwen smiled and said, "Why can't I leave home at a young age, and cultivate for many years. So, I can maintain this appearance?"
"Although cultivation can make people stay young, I have never heard of people who can stay so young. They are even younger than they were a thousand years ago!" Zhang Li said resolutely and decisively. Many people couldn't even live to the end of their lifespans due to the harsh cultivation environment on earth. So, he didn't believe it at all.
"It seems that the earth's environment has limited your vision!" Ye Xiwen sighed and said, "I am me. There is no need to pretend, and there is no need. I don't want to get anything from the Zhang family. It's just that after a thousand years, everything has changed. Although I didn't see your father when I came back this time, I know that the Zhang family is fine. So, I am relieved. When I disappeared, you weren't even born yet. It's reasonable for you to have such doubts!"
Ye Xiwen's biggest regret was that he hadn't been filial to his parents. Time couldn't be reversed, and his parents hadn't died in the war. Instead, they had spent their remaining years under the care of his younger brother. This was the only comfort in his heart. Although it couldn't untie the knot in his heart, it was enough to comfort his guilt.
Zhang Li looked at Ye Xiwen with a doubtful look in his eyes. No matter what Ye Xiwen said, this matter seemed strange. Although the matter of the Zhang family's king was classified as a confidential matter, it wasn't impossible for someone to investigate it if they wanted to.
Moreover, this wasn't a secret of military technology. It was impossible to keep it secret to that extent.
He wouldn't have wanted to take the risk if this man's cultivation hadn't been unfathomable. In fact, he would've captured this man a long time ago. He looked old. However, he was a sage expert after all. Moreover, he had been fighting on the battlefield all year round. So, no one in the Zhang family could compare to him when it came to killing.
Suddenly, a person had appeared after a thousand years and said that he was his uncle. He wouldn't have believed it if it were him.
A long time passed, and Zhang Li said, "You shouldn't be unfamiliar with these things if you're really my uncle!"
Zhang Li took out a small sealed box and said, "Originally, no one had seen my uncle's body after he had disappeared. So, only a cenotaph could be erected. These things were left behind by my uncle. They had been specially processed. So, Your Excellency should be able to recognize them if you're in person!"
He was doubtful in his heart. However, he wouldn't give up as long as there was even the slightest opportunity.
These things had been left behind by Ye Xiwen in the past. His appearance could be recognized by looking at his photos. So, it couldn't be regarded as a top secret. However, these things had never been shown to anyone. So, no one would know about them.
Unless he was Zhang Rui himself.
Opening the small box, a familiar feeling arose spontaneously. There was a slightly yellowed diary, a few game discs, and a phone that probably couldn't be used a long time ago. That was everything in the small box.
Ye Xiwen's eyes were somewhat moist. Buried in this box were not these little things, but his previous life.
"This is my diary. If I remember correctly, the last entry should be on July 5th. Hehe, I don't have the habit of keeping a diary. I've been slacking off for three days and drying the net for two days. Even after ten years, I've only managed to write down this diary!" Ye Xiwen shook his head and said with a smile.
It had been too long. So long that it seemed like a matter of his previous life. No, it was a matter of his previous life.
It seemed as if something had cracked in Ye Xiwen's heart.
Originally, the last step that had prevented him from becoming a god had been like a wall blocking his path. But now, a crack had appeared in that wall. He was naturally very happy in his heart. He hadn't expected that after several years of no progress, he would actually make progress just by looking at some relics of the past.
This was simply a pleasant surprise.
"This is the CD that I had left behind when I was fighting magical beasts..."
"This is my clothes..."
One by one, Ye Xiwen spoke tirelessly. It was exactly the same as what Zhang Li knew. He was somewhat startled. Was this really his uncle?
