Sitting on the throne, the Patriarch stared at the nine golden dragon marks around Ye Mo's body. His pupils shrank slightly. He had never expected that the bloodline of his descendant would mutate to such an extent, reaching a level comparable to his own bloodline power.
"Elders, please be quiet."
The elder waved his hand, silencing the entire palace. He said, "Ye Mo, you have formed nine golden dragon marks. Your bloodline talent is no weaker than mine. You will be heavily nurtured by our clan. Are you willing to join the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan?"
"I'm willing!"
Ye Mo nodded his head. Naturally, he would not reject such a good offer.
"With your bloodline talent, I can grant you the status of an elder right now. You can even be the next clan leader. However, you have to promise me one thing."
The Old Ancestor was calm, making it impossible for others to see through his emotions.
He was directly bestowed the status of an elder, and the next clan leader would be him. If it had been anyone else, they would have agreed without any hesitation.
However, Ye Mo didn't appear too excited. Instead, he asked, "What are the conditions?"
"You must change your surname to Zi!"
The old ancestor said faintly.
"What? Change my surname to Zi? "
Hearing that, Ye Mo was completely shocked. Without hesitation, he said, "Impossible. My surname is Ye. I will never change it."
"Ye Mo, your bloodline power is so perfect. You must have inherited the perfect inheritance of the Ancient Azure Dragon Blood. You are 100% a member of the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan. Why can't you follow your mother's surname? As long as you change your surname to Zi and follow my clan's surname, the next clan leader will be you. No one can change that. "
The Old Ancestor continued to use threats and promises.
"Ancestor, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't change my surname."
Ye Mo said calmly.
"Ye Mo, watch your tone."
One of the elders stood up, and coldly said: "Those who are able to become the Primordial Azure Dragon Clan's Patriarch are all experts who have made a name for themselves in the continent. You being appointed as the next Patriarch also means that our clan will nurture you with all our strength. It's just a surname, is it really that important?"
"Since it's not that important, why did you force me to change my surname?"
Ye Mo smiled coldly and said, "Although my father is insignificant in front of all of you, I am proud to take on my father's surname."
"Ye Mo, if you don't change your surname, even if you manage to condense nine Dragon Marks, you won't be a true descendant of our clan.
The Patriarch continued, trying to change Ye Mo's mind.
"Old Ancestor, other than this, I can consider all other conditions. Now that my father is already dead, I only have my mother as my family. My mother is also a clansman of the Primordial Azure Dragon Clan, so I will naturally help the clan with all my heart."
Ye Mo's willpower was firm, and he was not moved in the slightest. Even if the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan gave up on cultivating him, he would not change his surname.
"This Ye Mo really doesn't know what's good for him. Don't think that he's not afraid of the Patriarch just because he's formed nine Dragon Marks."
"Old Ancestor has already begged him time and time again, but he still doesn't give me face."
"Young people are proud and arrogant."
Some of the elders started discussing among themselves again.
At that moment, Zi Xing stood up and said calmly, "Ye Mo, don't be so ungrateful. With so many of us elders here, we are already giving you face. If you don't change your surname, we can totally not recognize you as a genius with awakened bloodline. In other words, your mother's crime will still stand. I will immediately bring the Law Enforcement Elders to arrest your mother."
"Elder Zi Xing, how shameless can you be?"
Ye Mo immediately started cursing. "You have so many elders and seniors here, and you're going to force a junior like me like this? If one day an expert forces you, will you be willing to change your surname? "
"How dare you!"
Ye Mo scolded him in front of so many people. Zi Xing was starting to lose his face. "Looks like we can't accept a genius like this. Although Zi Aotian's bloodline talent is not as good as his, his cultivation level is much higher. Moreover, he's a humble person, and even when facing us elders, he is extremely respectful."
"If others respect me, I will respect them tenfold," Ye Mo said with a sneer. "As for this Zi Aotian, although I don't know who he is, the way I see it, he's nothing special."
Ye Mo sneered.
Some of the elders were impressed by Ye Mo's attitude, while others felt that Ye Mo was being too arrogant.
"Grandfather, is this the genius who condensed nine Dragon Marks that you were talking about?" Ye Mo asked. "That's too arrogant."
Just as Ye Mo finished speaking, a woman's voice rang out in the hall like a silver bell.
Ye Mo saw a young girl turn into a beam of light and appear beside the throne. When the Patriarch saw the young girl, a warm smile appeared on his face.
The young girl had a ponytail and looked extremely sweet. She had black eyebrows, cherry lips, and skin as white as snow. Especially her pair of ruby eyes, they were exceptionally bewitching.
She wore a white silk dress, and with a tall and slender figure, she looked like an exceptional beauty.
"Xiao Xuan, why are you here at the Dragon Mark Palace? Didn't you say you were going to carry out a mission?"
Seeing the young girl, the Patriarch's face revealed a kind expression.
"I heard that a genius with nine Dragon Marks has appeared in our clan," the Patriarch said. "I wanted to see what kind of person is worthy of all the elders working together."
The young girl that the Patriarch referred to as Xiao Xuan was called Zi Xuan. She was the Patriarch's granddaughter. She wasn't even 18 years old yet, so she could be considered a member of the third generation.
Speaking of which, this young girl was the daughter of the second generation Patriarch at an old age. Among the elders, she was the most pampered girl. From birth, she was destined to condense seven Dragon Marks. She was also a girl blessed by the heavens.
When she heard Ye Mo's words as soon as she arrived at the palace, she couldn't help but walk in angrily. Zi Aotian had always been her idol. Hearing Ye Mo's words today, she was naturally furious.
"This is Ye Mo, the one who condensed nine Dragon Marks. You two should get to know each other better in the future."
The Patriarch smiled with his eyes squinted, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"You're only a Third Cycle of the Cosmos, yet you speak so arrogantly. Do you know Brother Aotian's cultivation level?"
Zi Xuan asked with a frown as she sized Ye Mo up.
"I don't know."
Ye Mo shook his head.
"He's currently at the First Cycle of the Wheel," Zi Xuan said. "He's not even 20 years old, yet he's already reached the First Cycle of the Wheel. No matter how strong your bloodline is, you're still far from being a match for him."
Zi Xuan spread out her hands, looking extremely innocent. But unknowingly, it was a vicious blow to Ye Mo.
"Zi Xuan, how can you speak to Ye Mo like that? Ye Mo is young. It's normal for his cultivation level to be lower than Aotian's."
The Patriarch was afraid that Zi Xuan would leave a bad impression on Ye Mo. To be honest, when they were discussing Ye Mo changing his surname, an idea popped up in his mind – to let Zi Xuan and Ye Mo get together.
Among the younger generation, Zi Xuan was the most suitable for Ye Mo. Perhaps her children would also be able to awaken nine Dragon Marks.
Even if Ye Mo didn't change his surname, his children could take on Zi Xuan's surname.
