Martial Arts Genius with Proficiency System-Chapter 738 - 356: For the Tribe’s Survival, Unworthy Descendants Can Only Send Mountain Ancestor to Death!
Su Tu also noticed Chen Shan’s gaze, but he didn’t show any signs of strangeness, instead, he mimicked Mo Chenghai’s demeanor.
"Su Tu, representative of Starship Academy, greets the Mountain Ancestor of the Chen Family."
Su Tu’s tone was calm, his voice neither servile nor overbearing.
"Oh oh!! This prodigy from Starship Academy, Starship Academy, is actually giving this old immortal some face, truly a rare fortune, hahaha."
Chen Shan spoke with a smile, as if he didn’t recognize Su Tu at all.
"Mountain Ancestor is joking, it is the younger generation’s true fortune to see you at your longevity feast."
"To meet such an esteemed elder with ’immortal’ experience, the junior is deeply moved, but there is a matter of great curiosity."
Su Tu’s voice carried a hint of inquiry and curiosity.
Chen Shan having met an immortal was a long-standing rumor on the Celestial City Star.
"It’s all just rumors. I, an old man, have lived for a thousand years without ever having the fate to glimpse a True Immortal. If there were ever a chance, it should be for a prodigy like young friend Su."
As he spoke, Chen Shan coughed lightly a few times.
Clearly, neither the young nor the old looked into each other’s eyes, but at that moment, an inexplicable atmosphere seemed to arise in the surrounding space.
The sky was clear without a cloud in sight, but somehow, with this conversation between the young and the old, it gave people a sense of oppressive feeling.
It seemed, the sky...darkened!
Just then, a series of crisp and neat footsteps sounded not far away.
A few children, looking only five or six years old, hopped and skipped to Chen Shan’s side.
"Mountain Ancestor, Mountain Ancestor, why are you running around again!"
"Mountain Ancestor!! It’s almost your birthday, grandpa and the others are waiting to ask your opinion!"
"Yes, Mountain Ancestor, you mustn’t run off, you have to be good!"
The children’s innocent and bright voices rang out around them.
The strange atmosphere around was somewhat dispelled by the children’s voices.
"Alright, alright, good grandchildren, Mountain Ancestor was wrong, it’s Mountain Ancestor’s fault, I won’t run around, I’ll go back with you good grandchildren."
Chen Shan looked at the children, a kindly smile on his face, he bent down and picked up the smallest child, then without even glancing at Mo Chenghai and Su Tu,
He walked towards the inner residence, talking and laughing with the children.
"Apologies, you two, our Mountain Ancestor is somewhat willful and has neglected the esteemed guests, please don’t mind."
A dignified male voice rang out following Chen Shan’s departure.
Only to see a middle-aged man slowly emerge from the grand entrance, Su Tu instantly recognized the man’s identity.
The current Patriarch of the Chen Family, Chen Zian!
"Uncle Chen, you jest, Mountain Ancestor is truly a revered elder with remarkable contributions to the Federation and the Human Race. Meeting Mountain Ancestor is already an honor for juniors like us."
Mo Chenghai spoke, his words delightfully pleasing to the ear.
"Chenghai, no offense then." Chen Zian also replied with a smile, then turning to Su Tu he said: "And this is the representative of Starship Academy, a remarkable and prestigious young prodigy."
"The Chen Patriarch is too kind."
Su Tu also exhibited the appearance of meeting Chen Zian for the first time.
Chen Zian chuckled lightly, exuding a powerful aura, the Chen Family Patriarch’s authority was unmistakable.
"This here is our Chen Family’s old residence, everything within are old pieces, please do not find them lacking, please come in."
Chen Zian gestured towards the mansion entrance behind him.
Su Tu and Mo Chenghai then proceeded together into the Chen Family’s old residence, the Chen Family Patriarch personally greeting them, reflecting the importance placed on this preliminary feast.
The Chen Family’s old residence appeared quite ancient, within the courtyard were dozens of rooms, covered in moss, as if uninhabited for a long time.
The courtyard was very large, seemingly the size of two or three football fields, in the center of the yard, there was an arena, very modern, which stood out from the rest of the yard.
Upon entering the courtyard, many servants were busy decorating the large courtyard, getting closer, Su Tu noticed that the white silk wasn’t just hanging in the yard.
Instead, it was somehow suspended by a very special power in the air, with a piece of white silk hovering every meter.
From a distance, this created the eerie scene of the entire Chen Family draped in white silk.
But from Su Tu and Mo Chenghai’s perspective, the white silk swayed with the wind, devoid of any sinister aura, but rather possessing a somewhat ethereal and immortal-like quality.
Completely opposite to its eerie aura.
Noticing Su Tu’s gaze on the white silk, Chen Zian finally spoke: "Our Mountain Ancestor is fond of plain white, as white symbolizes clarity in the world."
"This longevity feast should be jubilant and festive, with bright red colors, but Mountain Ancestor prefers white, and we cannot contradict the elder, so we can only hang this white silk; however, Mountain Ancestor said he has a way to turn them red." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
As Chen Zian spoke, he casually brushed a piece of white silk with his hand.
Hearing this, Mo Chenghai and Su Tu exchanged a glance and nodded, understanding that the elder’s preference in the family is not for them to judge, they could only smile and move on.
However, as they passed by the white silk, Su Tu, out of curiosity, reached out to touch it, feeling something smooth like silk, yet with a special texture.
His eyes subtly quivered, then a new force surged within him as he brushed past the white silk.
"It is not a tangible object, but a form of regulation..."
Su Tu immediately realized all of this, and then, sensing something else, a hint of a strange expression appeared in his eyes.
But soon, this strange expression quietly disappeared.
Led by Chen Zian, Mo Chenghai and Su Tu quickly arrived in a room.
