0003 Return of the King

The former Yun Qingyan was the heir of the next patriarch, but after he disappeared three years ago, the right to inherit was automatically lost.

This is the rule of the Yun family. If the heir dies, or suffers a serious injury that cannot be cured, or is missing for more than a year, he will lose his status as an heir.

Yun Qingyan lost his heir status because he had been missing for more than a year.

His cousin, Yunxuan, was deprived of his status as an heir because of an incurable injury.

Yun Qingyan didn't answer right away, but looked at the old housekeeper Yun Yuanlin with deep eyes and said: "Grandpa Lin, is this your own idea, or uncle's idea?"

As an immortal emperor, Yun Qingyan could naturally hear that the old housekeeper's words were urging him to take back his heir status.

The old housekeeper, Yun Yuanlin, was stunned. After meeting Yun Qingyan's gaze, he felt as if his secrets had been exposed.

At that moment, the old housekeeper said: "This is what the old slave wanted. But the patriarch also has this idea, but the patriarch is still not sure whether the current Young Master Yan is qualified to fight for the status of heir."

"Then Grandpa Lin is sure that I am qualified to fight for it?" Yun Qingyan couldn't help but wonder.

"Originally, I was only half sure, but now, this old slave is completely sure: as long as Master Yan is willing, it is only a matter of time before he regains his status as the heir." The old butler said with a humble posture and a sincere tone while bending over.

"Grandpa Lin, you are very smart, even smarter than I thought. But let's not be an example!" Yun Qingyan looked at the old housekeeper and said, his eyes were not cold, but it made the old housekeeper feel like he was on his back.

Yun Qingyan didn't doubt the old butler's loyalty to him and his uncle Yunhan, but no superior would like a subordinate who made his own way.

Especially Yun Qingyan, who is used to dominating everything.

"It's Master Yan, this old slave promises that he will never do it again!" The old housekeeper took a deep breath, feeling an inexplicable fear in his heart, and at some point, a row of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Let's go, take me to the family's discussion hall." Yun Qingyan said, and walked out of the yard, "If uncle can't get away, I guess there is only a family meeting. The four elders are all rebellious characters , my father can overwhelm them with absolute strength, but uncle may not be able to do it... If there is no accident, even the Herbal Medicine Pavilion is now controlled by a certain elder."

The mansion of the Yun family is very large. Yun Qingyan and the old housekeeper came out of the yard and walked along a long corridor. There were lakes on both sides, and the surface of the lake was covered with lotus leaves and flowers.

Then, after passing through one pavilion after another, they came to the outside of a magnificent hall.

At this time, the meeting hall of the Yun family was completely noisy.

The four elders colluded and pressed the patriarch Yun Han step by step. The isolated and helpless Yun Han was completely at a disadvantage in the quarrel.

"Patriarch, since Yunxuan was abolished half a year ago, the heir of the family has been vacant for half a year! Now the entire Tianyu City is criticizing our Yun family for having no successor. For the sake of the family's reputation and the inheritance of the family, please The patriarch will appoint a new heir today!"

"It just so happens that my son, Yun Yangqing, already has the sixth-level cultivation of the Star Realm. Regardless of his cultivation or talent, he is the first among his peers in the family, so I propose to canonize my son, Yun Yangqing, as the new heir! "The Great Elder pressed on step by step.

"Enough! In your eyes, do you still have me as the patriarch!" Yun Han patted the table heavily, his face was flushed with anger, and his fists were tightly clenched. It's tantamount to forcing the palace!

However, with his cultivation and majesty, he couldn't control the scene at all. None of the four great elders is inferior to him, especially the great elder, whose realm is even higher than him!

"Of course there is a patriarch in our eyes! But if the patriarch continues to go his own way, then we can only establish another patriarch!"

"The Great Elder is right. As the head of a clan, the most important thing is to consider the interests of the family! But the patriarch's delay in establishing an heir will not only damage the family's reputation, but will even cause the family to have no successors. If the patriarch doesn't To establish a successor, our Four Great Elders can only use the power in our hands to depose you!"

"Patriarch, why are you bothering? Yun Qingyan disappeared, and Yun Xuan suffered an incurable injury. In the current Yun family, only Yun Yangqing, the son of the Great Elder, can be the heir...Why can't the patriarch abandon his family opinion?" An elder sighed and said, his tone seemed weak, but in fact he was still aggressive.

Under normal circumstances, the heir can only be the person with the most direct bloodline. For example, Yun Qingyan, such as Yunxuan, but one of them disappeared and the other was abolished. If someone else is not registered as the heir, then the Yun family will really have no successors.

This is also the reason why the other three elders were persuaded by the Great Elder to force the palace together.

Of course, in addition to the righteousness of the family, it is unknown whether there are shady activities in private.

Yun Han was silent for a long time before he slowly raised his head. There was humiliation on his face, but there was also firmness like a rock, "Okay, I can promise you to name the heir today, but it's not Yun Yangqing, but Yun Qingyan!"

The moment Yun Qingyan returned, Yun Han had the idea of ​​making him his successor. At that time, he had asked Yun Qingyan about his cultivation level, but Yun Qingyan's cultivation level had fallen to the third level of the star realm.

But even so, Yun Han still didn't waver. It's just that he is going to wait a year or two for Yun Qingyan's realm to improve before registering him as his successor.

Of course, Yun Han wanted Yun Qingyan to be his heir for a reason.

Yun Qingyan is his nephew, and he has the most direct blood of the Yun family. Only by succeeding him as the patriarch can the pure blood of the Yun family be best guaranteed.

Secondly, only if Yun Qingyan succeeds the patriarch can he avenge Yunxuan!

With the relationship between Yun Qingyan and Yun Xuan, after knowing the humiliation Yun Xuan suffered, he will definitely seek justice for Yun Xuan, even if he does not hesitate to use the power of the family to confront the other party head-on!

But if Yun Yangqing succeeds the patriarch, not only will he not be able to protect the pure blood of the Yun family, but it is also impossible for Yun Yangqing to go to war with them for Yunxuan!

"Patriarch, are you joking, or do you intend to destroy the Yun family! You actually let a person who has been missing for three years and doesn't even know whether he is dead or alive to be the heir!" The elder immediately sneered.

"Who says I don't know if I'm dead or alive!" At this moment, a young man's voice suddenly sounded, and then, a young man wearing a red robe and carrying an empty scabbard walked into the hall with an aura as high as the Nine Heavens King.

The young man looked indifferent, his eyes slowly swept across the audience, his seemingly calm eyes were as sharp as a blade, making no one dare to look directly at him. There is also a kind of spiritual oppression exuding from him, which makes people have an uncontrollable urge to worship him.

"Cloud... Yun Qingyan!"

Except for the patriarch Yun Han, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, and everyone looked at Yun Qingyan as if they had seen a ghost.

No one expected that a person who had been missing for three years and was almost determined to have died a long time ago would appear in front of them again.

For a while, the crowd in the hall were all caught in the memory of Yun Qingyan.

Once upon a time, Yun Qingyan was their most satisfied heir, and also the pride of the entire Yun family. Whether it was Yun Xuan or Yun Yangqing, the son of the Great Elder, they all looked bleak in front of Yun Qingyan.

However, he disappeared, disappeared as if the world had evaporated.

If he hadn't disappeared, the current him might have been able to support the Yun family.

"I'm back!" Yun Qingyan looked at the crowd, without a lofty attitude, but gave people a feeling of the return of the king.

"Meet the young master!"

"Meet Master Yun Qingyan!"

...

Except for Yun Han and the four elders, all the stewards in the hall knelt down.

They looked at Yun Qingyan with eyes full of respect, not only because of his father's remaining prestige, but also because of Yun Qingyan's own halo!

In the year of his disappearance, the fifteen-year-old Yun Qingyan already had the fifth-level cultivation of the star realm, and was known as the first genius in Tianyu City, and he was also the first genius in the past hundred years.

This record, apart from being surpassed by the more monstrous Cai'er, others can only hold a candle to Yun Qingyan.

Among the four elders, the first elder looked gloomy, while the other three elders looked at Yun Qingyan with complicated expressions. In their minds, after three years, Yun Qingyan's cultivation will definitely have a qualitative leap.

"Four elders, do you have any objections to making Yan'er my successor?" At this moment, Uncle Yunhan's voice sounded.

"no disagreement!"

"no disagreement!"

"no disagreement!"

Without even hesitation, the Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder agreed, and they agreed with one voice.

"I..." The Great Elder's complexion was uncertain, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say a word.

"Yun Qingyan, I can know what kind of cultivation you are now..." The Great Elder Council asked this sentence, and he was already softening in disguise.

The hall suddenly became quiet, as if even the sound of breathing had disappeared. Everyone held their breath and raised their ears, waiting for Yun Qingyan's next answer.

This question is not only the curiosity of the Great Elder, but also the curiosity of everyone present.

Three years ago, he already had the fifth-level cultivation of the star realm, what realm will he climb to now...?

"The third level of the star realm!" Yun Qingyan said without concealing it, or he was too lazy to conceal it. In his eyes, there is no difference between the third level of Star Realm, the third level of Moon Realm, and even the third level of Sun Realm.

They are the cultivation of mortals.

"Yan'er..." Uncle Yunhan's eyes flashed anxiously, he didn't expect Yun Qingyan to expose his cultivation without reservation.

"What did you say?" The Great Elder couldn't believe his ears. He even thought that Yun Qingyan's cultivation base might not be inferior to his. Unexpectedly, the answer in Yun Qingyan's mouth would be the third level of the star realm!

If three years ago, the 15-year-old Yun Qingyan of the fifth-level star realm was a super genius, then the 18-year-old Yun Qingyan of the third-level star realm has completely reduced to a mediocrity!

All the family stewards who had great hopes for Yun Qingyan also showed disappointment after hearing the words.
