The Meng family disciples who rushed in all shouted loudly and excitedly. They instantly attracted a large number of clansmen in the ancestral mansion. All of them were stunned by what they heard. What? Did they hear wrongly? Meng Chuan had figured out the secret technique?

“Stop right there.” One of the clansmen grabbed a sprinting youth and said hurriedly, “Tell me clearly what happened.”

“Uncle, it’s Brother Meng Chuan.” The youth was only thirteen years old. At that moment, he said happily, “Today is the day our Mirror Lake Dao Academy held the selection. Brother Meng Chuan went up to the stage and used the secret technique of the Falling Leaf Saber, Third Autumn Leaf. Even the dean and lecturers are thrilled.”

“The secret technique of the Falling Leaf Saber, Third Autumn Leaf?” The muscular clansman’s eyes widened. “Isn’t he just fifteen this year? He managed to figure out the secret technique at fifteen?”

The entire ancestral mansion’s clansmen surrounded the youth as they inquired. It turned into a cacophony of excitement.

A bald and thin elder narrowed his eyes as he listened to all the chatter. His eyes lit up when he heard the youths all talking at once. He couldn’t help but mutter, “The heavens have blessed our Meng family.”

“Third Elder, it’s a joyous occasion. Meng Chuan figured out the secret technique.” A clansman ran over.

“I’m aware!” The thin elder wore his usual stoic look as he turned around and left.

He was the strictest elder in the Meng family; however, when he turned around and walked away, there was a faint curl on the corners of his lips.

…

The Meng family’s ancestral mansion occupied a large amount of land. After all, over two thousand clansmen lived there.

In one of the training grounds in the ancestral mansion.

A group of youths was practicing with a variety of weapons while the chubby Meng Dajiang sat by the side, watching.

Eh, why is it so noisy outside? Meng Dajiang frowned slightly. Following that, the din approached. With his strength as a Seamless realm expert, he could make out the keywords “Meng Chuan” and “figured out the secret technique.”

Meng Dajiang perked up.

It was like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him in the middle of winter. He was even a little confused.

Did I hear wrongly? Meng Dajiang was a little nervous, but he couldn’t help standing up and walking towards the entrance of the training grounds.

“Dajiang! Dajiang!” An elegant elder came over with a group of clansmen. The elder’s face was flushed red with extreme joy and excitement.

“Fifth Uncle”—Meng Dajiang immediately went forward—”what happened?”

“Great news! great news!” The elegant elder was very excited.

“Oh?” Meng Dajiang was both excited and nervous. Although he had some guesses, he still wanted to hear it spelled out completely.

The elegant elder immediately said, “Some of the young ones studying at Mirror Lake Dao Academy returned to inform us that your son—Meng Chuan—used the secret technique, Third Autumn Leaf, during the Dao Academy’s selection match. It was witnessed by the dean, lecturers, and thousands of disciples. It can’t be any more real. Hahaha… The heavens have blessed our Meng family. Our Meng family is blessed.”

“Chuan’er used the secret technique, Third Autumn Leaf?” Meng Dajiang felt his head heat up as his heart burned.

That was his son!

“Dajiang, your son is amazing.”

“Our Meng family is going to rise. We might even have two G.o.dfiends,” the clansmen said excitedly. Apart from the clan leader and Elders, ordinary clansmen didn’t know Fairy Meng had been seriously injured.

“Elders, Fairy Meng has summoned you.” A clansman came to pa.s.s the order.

“We’ll be there in a second.”

Meng Dajiang and the elegant elder rushed over. However, Meng Dajian had a bounce in his steps, finding everything surreal.

…

Fairy Meng and Clan Leader Meng Yanping had been playing chess, but their match had now come to a halt. There were eight Elders gathered in the yard. All of them were extremely excited. Some Elders who weren’t at the ancestral mansion and had yet to catch wind of the news.

“Those rascals ran very quickly.” The thin, bald elder was rather excited. “They were talking about how Meng Chuan used the Third Autumn Leaf secret technique.”

“This is great. He managed to figure out the secret technique at fifteen—his talent is no less than Mei Yuanzhi’s.”

“Dajiang, you have a good son.”

“It’s also thanks to Dajiang’s teachings.”

The Elders of the family clan spoke excitedly. Meng Dajiang laughed foolishly. He felt like today was his happiest day in recent years.

“I’ll rest in peace having learned this news.”
