In the ancestral temple, Liu Wuhai, who was in the midst of kowtowing, suddenly felt enlightened.
Then, an inexplicable sense of confidence exuded from his heart and overwhelmed him.
He felt that his mind was clear and he became more energized. Most importantly, he suddenly figured out something — as long as one is alive, there will be hope.
“I can choose to get through a day by being depressed, or I can choose to get through a day by being in high spirits. Why should I make my life so difficult?!”
Liu Wuhai talked to himself as his eyes lit up.
“Hahaha, the ancestor must have spoken. Thank you, Ancestor!”
Liu Wuhai had figured it out. He laughed and kowtowed to Liu Fan again.
At this moment, the door of the ancestral temple creaked and opened.
Liu Liuhai, the Sixth Elder, walked in.
He looked anxious, and before he could fix the buttons on his shirt, he ran into Liu Wuhai and was shocked after seeing how Liu Wuhai was laughing in excitement.
“Fifth brother, don’t scare me! You mustn’t go crazy!”
He thought Liu Wuhai had gone mad.
Liu Wuhai stood up and smiled, showing his yellow teeth. “Sixth brother, don’t be so clumsy at this old age. I suddenly figured out that we should be hopeful for the future and fight for the better as long as we are alive!”
“Everything is possible in the future!”
After he said that, he waved and left in high spirits while humming a tune.
Liu Liuhai was stunned. He suddenly sprawled down in front of Liu Liuhai’s coffin and bawled.
He said as he cried, “Our family is really unlucky. Our Fourth brother died in the morning, a spy who was undercover for 20 years revealed himself in the afternoon, and our Fifth brother went crazy at night!”
“Sob sob sob, Ancestor, please tell me if our family line is about to end just like this…”
Liu Fan was speechless in the coffin.
His descendants were too pessimistic. All of them looked as though they were under a cloud of depression!
Without hesitation, he made an exchange for The Love of the Ancestor spell again!
“The Love of the Ancestor — the Spell of Motivation, go!”
The spell was cast.
Let this descendant experience the love of his ancestor!
Instantly, Liu Liuhai’s body shook.
He felt as though the spirit of motivation was exuding from his soul and spreading throughout his entire body. He shuddered uncontrollably and suddenly felt energized.
“Yes. As a man, I should be motivated and confident.”
“Why must I live in depression and pessimism?”
He asked himself those questions and felt that he was living too pessimistically in the past. As an Elder of the family clan, he should be leading the family instead of feeling depressed.
As he thought about that, his eyes lit up.
In the end, he suddenly raised his fist and roared, “I am a man, I should work hard! From now on, I want to be a man with aspiration and motivation!”
He turned and made three kowtows to Liu Fan.
“Thank you for the enlightenment, Ancestor. I will definitely be a motivated leader!” Liu Liuhai said loudly as he left in confidence.
With the wind due to the movement of his pants, the fallen leaves in the courtyard were blown aside…
Liu Fan was extremely pleased.
The spells The Love of the Ancestor and The Rage of the Ancestor were extremely powerful. It could change the personality and character of an individual instantly, as well as how they do things and what their attitude toward life was.
“How long does the effect of the spell last?” Liu Fan wondered.
He then checked it out in the System.
“The spell works for only two hours for people who are not members of the clan. For those from the Liu family, the spell will be valid for an unlimited period of time. As long as the person who has cast it does not remove it, the effect of the spell will continue to be valid!”
Liu Fan was extremely glad when he saw the details of the spell in the System.
After that night…
The sun lit up the City of Scorpio as it shone through the foggy sky.
The City of Scorpio, situated on the Scorpio Island, was one of the 13 kingdoms in the Naiyun continent.
The City of Scorpio had an abundance of resources and had a lot of famous families.
These families started many towns and villages around the City of Scorpio. They built banks, started trades, formed gangs, sold medicine, and produced weapons, causing the City of Scorpio to be extremely populated. There were millions of people in the entire city.
Meanwhile, outside of the City of Scorpio, at the deep corner of the Scorpio Island, there were a few martial arts clans living in the mountains.
They owned many weapons and shared the resources of the City of Scorpio with the rich families.
The Liu family used to be the only royal family in the City of Scorpio more than a thousand years ago and had a higher rank than all the other families.
However, the Liu family had fallen and was forcefully suppressed. The Liu family had ended up in Black Street with fewer than 100 members.
Perhaps, after a few years, there would no longer be any members of the Liu family left in the City of Scorpio.
However, the fight the day before caused the Liu family to become extremely famous in Black Street.
The heads of clans, including the Spiritual Monkey and the King of Swords, and over 1000 people had died under the Liu family. Their heads were severed by the Liu family and hung on the wall.
Black Street was in chaos!
Countless people were afraid!
The Spiritual Monkey clan and the King of Swords clan, as well as a few other clans, left their territory and were afraid to show themselves again.
Meanwhile, the Zhang family and the Li family, who were the neighbors of the Liu family, brought many gifts to the Liu family in the morning. They pretended to be showing gratitude but were checking out how the fallen Liu family could possibly kill more than 1000 strong warriors.
The two families were extremely afraid as they had quite a bit of stake among the stalls in Black Street as well.
Liu Tao began to chat with the head of the clans of the Zhang family and the Li family about aspirations and everything under the sun. They drank a lot of tea while chatting but did not bring up the incident that had happened the day before.
The head of the clan of the Li family could not stand it any longer and asked about it.
Liu Tao smiled mysteriously and pointed to the sky. He said, “It was all thanks to the protection of our ancestor!”
Hearing that, the head of the clan of the Li family and the Zhang family internally cursed Liu Tao for being sly.
“Haha, Clan Head Liu, you are becoming more and more youthful. You make interesting comments!”
Both of them made replies to Liu Tao with a fake smile and left.
When they passed by the door of the courtyard, two people walked toward them.
The Fifth Elder Liu Wuhai and the Sixth Elder Liu Liuhai.
Liu Wuhai had combed his hair back and had a cleanly shaven face. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and was in high spirits. Liu Liuhai was in armor and had a sword in his side. He had his chest up, brimming with confidence.
Both of them were over 70 years old, but their spirits stunned the Li and Zhang families’ heads of the clan.
‘Did they take some special medicine?!’
“Elders, you are becoming more and more lively!”
Both heads of clan greeted the elders.
Liu Wuhai swung his head and smiled. “We should be hopeful for the future!”
Liu Liuhai slapped his sword and said with confidence, “As a man, I have to take action!”
Both the heads of clan waved and thought they were insane.
They left immediately.
In the room, Liu Tao was shocked when he saw Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai. He asked worriedly, “Fifth Elder and Sixth Elder, are you okay…?”
He thought that they were behaving weirdly.
“Clan Head, we should be hopeful for the future!”
Liu Wuhai walked over and patted Liu Tao’s shoulder in high spirits. “I have decided to follow the rules set by our ancestors. I will monitor the training of our people personally. Three times a day, morning, noon, and night.”
“Clan Head, as a man, I have to take action!”
Liu Liuhai was extremely confident. He said, “Our ancestors led a strong army. Now, I want to continue the legend and raise a new army!”
After saying that, both of them left, taking big strides.
Clan Head Liu Tao looked around and looked up to the sky in confusion.
At this moment, footsteps were heard behind him.
The First Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder had arrived.
The First Elder’s disciple died yesterday and, hence, he looked depressed.
The Second Elder was cutting his fingernails and keeping silent…
The Third Elder rubbed his ears again and again…
When Liu Tao saw that, he nodded and sighed.
“Thankfully, these three are behaving normally…”
He coughed and said, “Elders, let’s go and pay our respects to the ancestor!”
“Also, please hide those things well.”
“Those things!!!”
The three of them became serious.
If not for those couple of things, the Liu family would not have been attacked by their enemies, nearly perishing in their hands!
