Although Yuan family was not a big, influential family possessing a legacy of millenniums, it was still a family with centuries of history.

But this family had never seen the likes of an unusually strong expert. Moreover, the main clan was located near the suburban Zheng Tong county. Therefore, merely going by the influence of positioning alone, they were even inferior to Tai Cang county's He family.

However, precisely because Yuan family was situated at such a geographical location, and they had always been low key on top of that, they possessed such connections. Unfortunately, these connections couldn't a.s.sist them in resisting a powerful adversary.

In the outskirts of Zheng Tong's county town, outside a huge manor, several galloping horses sounded.

After a few moments, eight fine horses arrived outside the manor's entrance. Among these eight horses, one was particularly majestic.

This horse's entire body was red without a single odd fur. Its color was the same as that of a plum. Upon witnessing this horse, n.o.body could resist uttering a word or two in praise.

The entrance opened soon after. An old servant walked out from inside and respectfully said, ”Lord, you're finally back.”

Yuan Earnest's complexion somewhat changed. His figure moved, placing two legs on the ground immediately, and said in a lowered voice, ”Something happened in the manor?”

That old servants shook his head. His vision s.h.i.+fted to the He Quanxin behind Yuan Earnest. As for He Yitian and He Yiming, he'd already subconsciously neglected them.

Yuan Earnest continued in a low voice, ”Be a.s.sured. This is He family's Lord He Quanxin from Tai Cang county. With him here, even Fan Shui is nothing to worry about.”

These words were said resolutely and without a bit of hesitation. The weight of these words carried a power that could stir one's heart and soul.

Ever since Fan family had decided to deal with Yuan family, Yuan Earnest had been suppressed. As such, he'd used this opportunity to vent and let everybody know that the current Yuan family possessed the means to contend against the Fan family.

As expected, that old man's face immediately lit up as he looked at He Quanxin with a gaze filled with reverence.

It was well-known that the current clan leader of Fan family, Fan Shui, was a tenth layer expert. Since this Lord of He family had the qualifications to contend against him, he must be an expert of the same rank as well.

Before such an expert, the old servant was naturally quite moved inwardly.

The news of Yuan Earnest returning home quickly spread throughout the manor. However, the even more important news was that he'd brought back a tenth layer expert with him, which undoubtedly boosted everyone's confidence in the manor.

When Yuan Earnest arrived in the main hall with He Quanxin, some people were already awaiting him.

A stout man stood on the stairs of the hall with a gratified smile on his face. As soon as he saw He Quanxin and the rest, he immediately stepped forward to welcome them.

”Haha, fifty years ago, this old man, together with elder brother He, left home and roamed for a full ten years in Heaven Sieve country to seek success. Afterwards, elder brother He stayed in the Heaven Sieve country. I, however, returned back to the clan. It's hard to imagine that it has already been more than forty years.” The old man heartily laughed, then said, ”We haven't seen each other for so many years, is elder brother He doing fine?”

He Yiming and the others immediately understood that this individual was certainly He Wude's old friend and also the current head of Yuan family, the old man Yuan Zeyu.

He Quanxin immediately stepped forward and kowtowed, ”Uncle Yuan, my father is completely fine except for his longing to see you.”

Yuan Zeyu promptly helped him up and said, ”Our two families have been lifelong friends, you mustn't be so courteous.”

Behind He Quanxin, He Yiming inwardly muttered, 'Several decades ago, perhaps you and grandfather were friends. However, after not seeing each other for so long, if the two families' relations.h.i.+p hasn't been preserved through business, and if eldest uncle didn't have any use for you, you probably wouldn't have been so courteous either.'

Of course he only dared to say these words in his mind. He wouldn't dare say these words out loud in any case.
