16 Token (1/2)

Yepong looked towards the crowd and lightly coughed, ”As everyone can see… Yenma is a direct-descendant of our Tin family.”

The crowd nodded and mutually agreed. The bugs used in the blood-test were specifically reared and there was only 0.001 percent chance of failure. Hence one didn't need to debate whether the blood-test was flawed or not.

Standing behind Yepong, Yenma didn't feel any excitement. He knew this result was obvious. The previous owner of the body was Tin Yesei and was supposed to have been the next family head. So Yenma was never nervous in the first place. He wanted to try cultivating that's why he just played along with the crowd.

Yepong then came forth and tried to place back the small red bug back into the glass-container, as he did, he noticed that the bug struggled to not let go of Yenma's hand. Yepong was shook but he didn't show it on his face as he quickly placed the bug back into the container.

The way he now looked at Yenma was slightly different, even Yenma couldn't notice this change.

”Yenma the guards will lead you to your resting quarters, you no longer have to live in the quarters meant for the guests. You will be assigned your own courtyard and servants to serve you.” Yepong said as he handed a bronze-colored token to Yenma, on the token there was a beautiful picture of a crane soaring above the skies inscribed and behind it there were two words deeply engraved: ”Tin Yenma.”

Looking at those words, Yenma didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. It was evident that Yepong had already first handedly prepared the token as if he knew Yenma was definitely from the Tin family.

”This token...ahem*...”, Yenma didn't know what to say.

”This token is only given to the direct-descendants of the Tin family. You rightfully deserve it. Take some rest and let the guards escort you back. Tomorrow I will introduce you to a certain someone.”, Yepong replied.

Yenma then took his leave as he also wanted to check out his own private courtyard.

Tin Family Square.

The crowd had not left as they were not yet dismissed by Yepong.

Yepong looked sternly at the crowd as if in deep thought. He knew that the crowd was also interested in knowing Yenma's origins. After all since Yenma was confirmed to be a direct-descendant, it meant he was either the son of Tin Yesei or Tin Yepong but since Yesei had secluded himself from the world, the crowd naturally thought he was Yepong's son.
