In the courtyard by the stream.
A white-haired old man was sitting on the ground next to an ancient rock.
This place was like a paradise for him.
White light surrounded him, and pure cosmic power was infused into his body.
About an hour later.
The old man slowly opened his eyes and exhaled. He could not help but let out a long sigh.
"Am I really going to stop here?!"
The old man's eyes were full of pity.
This was the umpteenth time he had tried to break through to the galaxy system.
And he still failed.
He was very anxious.
He was the first person in the town to reach the ninth tier of the Star Body Realm. At that time, he was so high-spirited and ambitious, saying that he would lead the family to the upper circle.
Unfortunately …
A thousand years had passed.
There were many capable people in the town, and a few families in the ninth tier of the Star Body Realm were born.
Even though they were also trapped here.
They could not move forward.
Their bold words were not realized.
Not to mention leading the family to the upper circle, the position of the town leader no longer belonged to their family.
"Ha …"
He laughed as if mocking himself.
The old man looked up to the northwest.
From this courtyard by the stream, he could see the towering bell tower.
The Town Leader's Mansion.
He might not be able to go back in this lifetime.
"Master."
The old man turned around and saw a woman walking in from the arched door.
This woman was breathtakingly beautiful.
She was beautiful.
Her face was exquisite and natural, and her figure was so graceful that people could not help but fall in love with her.
"Yao Hua, why are you here?" Seeing the woman, the white-haired old man smiled. "Don't call me master anymore. You are the master of the Liu Family now. You are the master of the Liu Family."
"Father, you know that I am not suitable for the position of master at all."
The woman walked over and noticed that the old man's aura was a little chaotic.
"You tried to break through again?!"
"Father, breaking through frequently will hurt your foundation."
"I know." The old man smiled. "But I have no other way out."
The woman standing in front of the old man, Yao Hua, was stunned.
She knew that the old man was suffering.
They used to be in the Liu Family Town. The Liu Family was the town leader for generations, ruling over the families in the town and resisting the ferocious beasts outside the town.
But a few years ago …
The Liu family suddenly rose.
A cosmic system state heavily injured the old man. The Liu Family lost the competition for the mayor's position.
After that.
Since then, the old man had been depressed and began to frequently try to break through the shackles of the galaxy.
However …
All ended in failure.
In the past few years, the old man's strength had not improved at all, and it even showed signs of regressing.
He lost his position as mayor.
The old man was too ashamed to face his ancestors, so he passed the position of the patriarch to Yao Hua and moved the entire clan out of the former Liujia Town.
The homeland of tens of thousands of years.
He left just like that?!
For this.
Liu Yaohua's second brother even quarreled with the old man.
In fact, Liu Yaohua was very clear about this.
Neither his second brother nor his father were wrong.
Second Brother didn't want to give up his homeland. Even if the Liu family had declined, he still wanted to protect it.
However, his father was trying to find a way out for the Liu Family. If the Liu Family continued to stay in the same town, the Liu Family would definitely be suppressed, and the Liu Family would never be able to rise again.
No one was in the wrong, but the two stubborn people each had their own opinions.
No one was willing to lower their heads.
"Alright, you don't need to care about my matters." The old man let out a long sigh, saying, "There should be a lot of things to deal with in the family. If there's nothing, don't come to me. What are you doing here this time?!"
"Second brother is back."
Liu Yaohua suddenly spoke. The old man sitting on the ground subconsciously trembled.
Very quickly …
The old man snorted coldly.
"Why did he come back?!"
"Didn't he already cut off all ties with the family?"
"Father, don't say such words out of anger." Liu Yaohua said, "In fact, you know very well that second brother is more suitable for the position of the patriarch than me. Back then, the two of you just had a disagreement. I know that neither of you is wrong. After so many years, this knot really can't be untied?! "
"Heh …"
The old man still had a straight face.
At this moment, Liu Shuiheng slowly walked out from the arched door.
He lightly patted Yao Hua's shoulder.
He winked at her.
Yao Hua gently nodded and left. Liu Shuiheng looked at the back of the old man and silently sat beside him.
In fact, when Liu Shuiheng was outside the arched door, the old man already felt it.
Seeing him sit down, the old man wasn't surprised.
"Old man."
"There's a saying that old men get more stubborn as they get older. It's probably referring to people like you."
Liu Shuiheng looked at the old man with a smile. Sensing that the old man was too lazy to care about him, he also smiled.
"Tianyin's domain is already in the eighth layer."
"Don't mention her to me!"
Unexpectedly, the old man became even angrier when he heard Tianyin.
"No matter what, she's your granddaughter. You have resentment towards me and Lily, but you can't vent it on Tianyin." Liu Shuiheng smiled bitterly.
"Heh … I won't recognize a demon as my granddaughter."
"The people in the family think that I stayed in town because I had a disagreement with you. We both know why I stayed in town."
"For that demon woman!"
"Lily is not a demon woman!" Liu Shuiheng shouted angrily. "I said, she's not a demon woman! Why do you always have that kind of prejudice against Lily? Yes, she's a lotus that has turned into a demon, but she's also a human! "
"Human?!" The old man was disdainful.
"I'm here to make it clear to you that I'm staying in town for the sake of the Liu family. Lily felt a strange aura in the town, and that aura came from the Liu Family. The two of us have been investigating during this time. "
"Then?!"
"Lily is dead."
Liu Shuiheng sighed, and his eyes were full of regret.
"Before she died, she told me a very important information. This information is about the Liu Family that we've been investigating."
"What information?!" The old man's face turned serious.
"Why should I tell you?" Suddenly, Liu Shuiheng's face revealed a smile. "Since you don't recognize Lily, then you're not qualified to listen to this. I thought these years would make you understand us a little, but I didn't expect that you're still so stubborn and inflexible! Even if there's no Liu Family, it's only a matter of time before the Mayor's position is taken away. "
"Unfilial son, get out!"
The old man scolded. Yao Hua hurriedly ran in from outside.
She saw Liu Shuiheng stand up in front of the old man, his eyes flashing with disappointment.
"I don't need you to tell me!"
"I can go by myself!"
After saying that, Liu Shuiheng sneered and turned around to leave.
Yao Hua stood in between the old man and Liu Shuiheng. Until Liu Shuiheng completely disappeared, Yao Hua frowned and shouted.
"Dad! Why did you quarrel with second brother again! "
"Bastard! Bastard! "
"Oh, that's right."
Suddenly, Liu Shuiheng, who had already left, came back.
"This is the gift from Tianyin to you, you can take it or not!"
