Chapter 1065 Tian Family(2)

Once the old lady left, the middle-aged man turned to look at Yuan and continued, “My name is Tian Xianzu, the head of this humble family.”

“May I know your background and what you know about the name Tian Chenyu?” Tian Xianzu asked him with a friendly smile.

He nodded, and said, “Honestly, I don’t know much about Tian Chenyu. I only learned of this name in a note left behind by one of my ancestors. I also don’t know how long ago this note was written, but I firmly believe that no matter how much time passes, a debt will never go away on its own.”

Tian Xianzu pondered for a moment before asking, “Do you know how your ancestor became indebted to our ancestor?”

“I don’t.”

“Then do you have the note with you?”

“Unfortunately, the note is very fragile and on the verge of breakdown, so I didn’t dare to bring it with me.”

“Hmm…” Tian Xianzu narrowed his eyes slightly with a pondering look on his face.

It was obvious that he didn’t fully trust Yuan, as his story sounded a little too convenient and suspicious.

“The tea is ready.” The old lady returned with the tea.

After pouring all of them a cup, she left the teapot on the table.

“Bring my daughter here.” Tian Xianzu suddenly said to the old lady.

“The Young Lady…?” The old lady seemed hesitant, her reason being the same as Tian Xianzu’s reason.

“Yes.”

“I understand.”

The old lady left again.

‘I will decide if we can trust him after I see his reaction to my daughter.’ Tian Xianzu thought to himself.

He was thinking that if Yuan had any interior motives, he would see it the moment Yuan meets with his daughter.

Yuan casually sipped on the tea and didn’t utter a single word for the next few minutes.

He understood their situation— that the Tian Family was having doubts about his identity, which he couldn’t blame because they were right to doubt someone as suspicious as him.

In fact, he would also be suspicious if he were in their shoes, and if he speaks or tries to convince them that he’s not there to harm them, that would only make him more suspicious.

Sometime later, Yuan could hear two sets of footsteps approaching the room.

A few moments later, a beautiful young lady who looked to be a little older than Yuan entered the room.

She had a tall and slender figure. Her hair was pitch black and tied into a hair bun behind her head. Her face looked gentle yet fierce at the same time, and her clear brown eyes shone with brightness.

“…”

Xiao Hua and the other two inside Yuan’s body were surprised when they saw this young woman, but it was not because of her beauty.

No, they were surprised by her facial features that resembled Yuan but looked way more feminine, almost as though she was Yuan’s twin sister.

In fact, with the help of makeup, Yuan could definitely become this young woman and vice versa.

However, just like Tian Xianzu, Yuan didn’t notice their resemblance.

“Let me introduce you to my daughter, Tian Yanyu. Yanyu, this is our guest, Yuan.”

“Hello.” She gave him a courteous nod.

“It’s nice to meet you. I’m Yuan, and I came here to repay a debt that my ancestors owed to your family. If there’s anything you need help with, don’t hesitate to let me know.” Yuan said to her with a gentle smile on his face.

“…”

Tian Yanyu clearly wasn’t expecting such a reason for his visit, but she didn’t complain.

After a moment of silence, she spoke again, “You’ll help us with anything?”

Yuan nodded, “As long as it’s within my power, I will do my best to help you.”

A cold look suddenly appeared on Tian Yanyu’s face as she spoke, “Then help me erase the Lin Family from this world.”

“Yanyu!” Tian Xianzu immediately frowned at her words.

“The Lin Family? The first time I’ve heard about them is when your caretaker mistook me for them. Who are they? And what have they done to deserve this punishment?” Yuan asked her.

“You’ve never heard of the Lin Family? How is that possible? They’re one of the biggest families in this world— They’re one of the Seven Legacy Families!” The old lady exclaimed.

“Actually, I’m not from around this area, but I have heard of the Seven Legacy Families.” Yuan said.

“The Lin Family has been harassing and bullying my family for the last four years because I refused to become their oldest son’s woman.” Tian Yanyu said with a disgusted look on her face.

‘So it’s that kind of situation, huh…’ Yuan sighed inwardly.

“So can you help us or not? If you can’t, then we don’t need your help at all.” Tian Yanyu stared at him with slightly narrowed eyes.

Yuan didn’t immediately respond and began pondering.

“You don’t have to mind her unreasonable request, Yuan. Although it’s true that the Lin Family has been harassing us, there’s nothing we can do about it.”

Yuan sighed out loud before speaking, “It’s fine. I don’t mind it.”

He turned to look at Tian Yanyu and continued, “I don’t mind helping you with the Lin Family, but I cannot do something like slaughter them— not because I don’t have the power to. I am just not fond of unnecessary bloodshed.”

The Tian Family’s eyes widened with shock after they heard Yuan’s words, mostly because he casually claimed that he had the power to destroy the Lin Family.

“How about this? I will get the Lin Family to stop harassing your family and stop pestering you. Would that be helpful enough?” Yuan said as he looked directly at Tian Yanyu.

“I-If you can really do that…” Tian Yanyu nodded in a dazed manner, as she didn’t really expect him to agree to her request.

After all, they were going against one of the Seven Legacy Families, an untouchable force for most people.
