Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 397 - 262: No One is Born Destined to be Above Others_2

"Yu County is located in a remote area, now chaotic with a mixture of people, it’s no longer suitable for development. I plan to take Hongyu and the others to the State Government Office in a few days. I also want to ask if you would like to go, Elder."

After hearing Chen Mu’s words, Yu Jiujiang sighed, "The State Government Office is good, of course, one should go if they can. You should discuss this matter with Zu Yi; as for an old man like me... In my youth, I walked through all seven prefectures of Yu State. Now in my old age, I’d like to stay here in Yu County, be it in chaos or peace."

Actually.

As Yu County gradually descended into chaos with the arrival of the Four Great Sects, the Yu Family had already been considering dispersing its branches. However, the Yu Family’s influence was after all not strong enough, and the State Government Office of Yu State was not like the remote Yu County. At the very least, it required the protection of someone from the Five Viscera Realm to barely gain a foothold. Yu Jiujiang was getting older and had less energy to spare.

After Chen Mu became a prominent figure on the Wind Cloud List, he naturally had the ability to do so. Even on his reputation alone, he was sufficient to arrange for a branch of Yu Family lineage to establish themselves in the State Government Office, but such matters still had to be discussed with Chen Mu first.

To their surprise, Chen Mu had just returned and had already brought up the matter.

"Hmm, that’s also good."

Chen Mu wasn’t surprised by Yu Jiujiang’s response. Yu Jiujiang had once been a Steward of the Seven Profound Sect, and had traveled all over Yu State. At his age, it was perfectly normal for him not to consider moving to the State Government Office, after all, he was born and raised in Yu County.

The Yu Family had also provided him with many conveniences and benefits on his journey of Martial Arts cultivation. Now that he had an identity and capability, he naturally didn’t mind lending a hand and helping the Yu Family to secure a foothold for a branch of their lineage in the State Government Office.

Chen Mu casually picked up a handful of rice grains to feed the green bird perched on his shoulder and continued to chat casually with Yu Jiujiang, when suddenly a crisp voice came from outside.

"Grand Ancestor."

"Grand Ancestor."

Several calls of varying voices came from outside the door.

Since Yu Jiujiang dispersed his Yuan Gang Inner Breath and no longer needed to maintain his cultivation in quiet solitude, he no longer stayed in the Ancient Courtyard as before, and he allowed many of the Yu Family’s direct descendants to come over and greet him frequently.

"Come in."

Yu Jiujiang kindly called out to the outside of the courtyard.

Soon, a group of young boys and girls entered the courtyard. They first greeted Yu Jiujiang lively, and only afterward did some of them notice Chen Mu standing aside, almost as if he didn’t exist.

The newcomers were mostly the fourth generation youngsters of the Yu Family, some even younger than Yu Ru. However, after a brief moment of shock, they quickly recognized Chen Mu.

Despite the Yu Family being large and wealthy, from the direct descendants to the side branches, Chen Mu’s name was as familiar as thunder. Even those who had only seen him once during a wedding celebration a few years ago would not have forgotten him.

"Brother Chen."

"Brother-in-law."

Different calls rose up, and all eyes sparkled with a look of admiration.

Chen Mu’s gaze swept over the youngsters, but paused for a moment on a girl at the front.

"Bro... brother-in-law..."

Yu Yun, noticing Chen Mu’s gaze, stuttered a bit, becoming somewhat flustered, her face turning red. Remembering the arrogance she had displayed in front of Chen Mu in the past, she felt utterly embarrassed.

Times had changed. What she thought of in her earlier years had long been cast to the back of her mind. Whenever she heard about Chen Mu, and remembered her past insolent words in front of him, her face would heat up. Even during Chen Mu’s wedding celebration, she had hidden in a corner with her elders, never expecting to encounter him here again.

And now.

Chen Mu’s status was even more prominent, having become a well-known figure in the Cold North, even comparable to Yan Jingqing.

Chen Mu naturally remembered Yu Yun, but he hadn’t paid much attention to her when she was just a girl of about ten years old. Now, of course, he cared even less, and wouldn’t hold a grudge for some proud words spoken many years ago. After all, she was just a somewhat spoiled young girl from a noble family.

Now, as times had changed, she no longer held herself with the same pride in front of him. Instead, she seemed flustered and ill at ease, seemingly admiring him as a brother-in-law, yet shamefacedly unable to face him confidently.

"It is good to admire strength, for everyone admires the strong, as it drives one to aspire higher. However, one must carry a sense of reverence and not oppress the weak. Even a dynasty that lasts a thousand years may decay, and a noble family of a hundred years can return to dust. Even those of the humblest origins can have their own power, and peerless Martial Saints can emerge from the ranks of commoners."

"The He Family, the Yu Family... even the Seven Profound Sect, the Heavenly Sword Sect, they all started from humble beginnings. No one is born destined to stand above others, and the prosperity that spans hundreds of years is the accumulation from generation to generation."

Chen Mu looked at Yu Yun as he spoke in a gentle tone, then glanced over the other youngsters too.

Hearing Chen Mu’s words, whether it was Yu Yun or some other youngsters of the Yu Family, they all listened attentively with their heads down and ears perked, standing properly in front of Chen Mu.

"Well said."

Yu Jiujiang sighed and said, "One should admire the strong but not oppress the weak. No one is born destined to be above others, and nothing lasts forever. If one aspires to be strong but also holds reverence in their heart, acts with caution and circumspection, and passes this on from one generation to the next, only then can it endure in this world."

Chen Mu had indeed hit the nail on the head.
