Chapter 406: Arriving at the Family!
Seeing Li Yun’s respectful attitude, the Ninth Elder immediately burst into loud laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"You little brat, you truly have become extraordinary now!"
The Ninth Elder walked forward happily before heavily patting Li Yun’s shoulder.
"We have all been waiting for your return ever since the news reached us that you won the Hidden Dragon Tournament."
Although Azure Wind City was extremely far from the location where the Hidden Dragon Tournament had been held, such a heaven-shaking event naturally spread throughout the Southern Martial Domain at astonishing speed.
The moment the Li Family learned that Li Yun had become the champion of the Hidden Dragon Tournament, the entire clan had nearly gone crazy from excitement.
The champion of the Hidden Dragon Tournament...
That was an existence standing at the absolute peak of the younger generation throughout the entire Southern Martial Domain.
And that person had emerged from their Li Family.
Just thinking about it felt unreal.
The Ninth Elder looked toward Li Yun with eyes filled with pride and emotion.
"Back then, this old man already knew you were extraordinary."
"But even I never imagined you would actually reach such a height."
Hearing those words, Li Yun smiled helplessly.
"It is all thanks to the teachings of the elders back then."
"Hahaha! Stop flattering this old man!"
The Ninth Elder laughed loudly before waving his hand.
"Your grandfather and the Patriarch are currently waiting for you inside. Quickly go meet them."
Li Yun nodded before continuing deeper into the estate.
Soon, he arrived within the central hall of the Li Family.
Inside the hall sat two familiar figures.
One of them was naturally the Patriarch of the Li Family, Li Jinyun.
The other was Li Yun’s grandfather, the Third Elder, Li Zhen.
The moment they saw Li Yun enter, both men immediately stood up from their seats simultaneously.
Especially Li Zhen, whose eyes instantly turned slightly red with emotion as he looked toward his grandson standing before him.
Back then, Li Yun had merely been a youth struggling within the Li Family while enduring ridicule and suppression from countless people.
Yet now...
He had already become the Heavenly Pride Supreme of the entire Southern Martial Domain.
Li Zhen’s hands trembled slightly as he slowly walked toward Li Yun.
For a moment, he seemed unable to find the right words to say.
In the end, he heavily patted Li Yun’s shoulder several times while laughing emotionally. "Good! Good! My grandson truly has become extraordinary! You little brat still remembers this old man! You have brought enormous glory to our Li Family this time. Ever since the news spread that you became the champion of the Hidden Dragon Tournament, the entire Azure Wind City has practically gone mad. Even the City Lord personally visited our Li Family several times. At this point, our Li Family’s prestige within Azure Wind City has already reached an unprecedented height."
Li Yun looked toward the old man before him, and the coldness that usually filled his eyes unconsciously softened slightly.
No matter how powerful he became outside, the old man before him would always remain his grandfather.
Li Yun immediately cupped his fists respectfully. "Grandfather."
At this moment, Li Jinyun also walked forward with a warm smile. "Li Yun, your achievements this time have completely exceeded all our expectations. To be honest, even now, this Patriarch still feels somewhat unreal. The champion of the Hidden Dragon Tournament... the Heavenly Pride Supreme of the Southern Martial Domain... such a figure actually emerged from our Li Family."
Li Yun shook his head lightly. "Patriarch overpraises me."
Li Jinyun immediately burst into laughter. "With your current status, even the Sect Master of the Martial Ascension Gate would not dare treat you lightly anymore, yet you still remain so humble. That is precisely why this old man admires you even more."
After speaking for a while, Li Zhen suddenly seemed to think of something, and his expression gradually became serious. "Yun’er, I heard that the envoys from the Eastern Martial Domain have already arrived. You are preparing to leave the Southern Martial Domain, correct?"
Hearing this, the atmosphere inside the hall became quieter.
Li Yun slowly nodded. "Yes. The people who arrived this time are from the Heavenly Sword Sect of the Eastern Martial Domain. They gave me three days to settle everything here before departing with them."
The moment those words were spoken, Li Zhen’s expression immediately became complicated.
Although he felt proud that his grandson would soon enter the broader world of the Eastern Martial Domain, he also understood clearly how dangerous that world truly was.
Compared to the Eastern Martial Domain, the Southern Martial Domain was nothing more than a small pond.
Li Zhen sighed softly. "The outside world is dangerous. You must protect yourself carefully."
Li Yun nodded calmly. "I understand, Grandfather."
At this moment, Li Jinyun suddenly spoke seriously. "Li Yun, you can leave the Southern Martial Domain without worries. As long as our Li Family still exists, we will properly protect your family members. Furthermore, with the Martial Ascension Gate standing behind our Li Family now, ordinary people would never dare provoke us anymore."
Hearing this, the final trace of concern within Li Yun’s heart gradually faded.
He slowly cupped his fists toward both Li Jinyun and Li Zhen. "Thank you, Patriarch. Thank you, Grandfather."
Seeing Li Yun’s respectful attitude despite his current overwhelming status, both Li Jinyun and Li Zhen felt even more emotional inside.
Because they understood clearly...
Although Li Yun had already become a heaven-shaking genius admired throughout the Southern Martial Domain...
He still had not forgotten his roots.
But at that very moment, Li Jinyun suddenly seemed to recall something.
The smile on his face gradually faded as a thoughtful expression appeared in his eyes.
After hesitating briefly, Li Jinyun finally looked toward Li Yun seriously.
"Li Yun, there is actually another matter this Patriarch wishes to ask your opinion about. Originally, I did not plan to bring it up now, especially since you are about to leave for the Eastern Martial Domain, but after thinking about it carefully, I still feel it would be better to discuss it with you first."
Hearing the seriousness in Li Jinyun’s tone, Li Yun’s expression also became slightly solemn.
"What matter is it, Patriarch?"
