Chapter 2137: Chapter 2137: It Really Is a Miracle

“People of the Yiinn Family, please come over here and have a seat.”

An Jiuyue returned to the table and sat down, then gestured for the Head of the Yiinn Family to sit as well.

After all, he was an elderly man; she couldn’t possibly expect him to stand while replying to her, could she? Her mind was fraught with questions, and it was unbearable not to ask.

How could the Yiinn Family have ended up in such a state?

“Thank you, High Priest Demon Heart.”

The Head of the Yiinn Family expressed his gratitude before cautiously making his way over to a chair and sitting down.

Qian Jiyun casually poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him.

“Thank you, sir.”

The Head of the Yiinn Family received the tea and cautiously expressed his thanks.

“Head of the Yiinn Family, can you now discuss with me how the Yiinn Family has come to be in its current state?” An Jiuyue asked, looking at him.

She couldn’t understand, truly couldn’t understand how even casually bringing a treasure from the Yiinn Stone Space could result in such a state.

“Holding the Yiinn Stone Space in your hands, are you just eating without working? Even if your cultivation level is low, it shouldn’t have fallen to this depth, look at where you are living now?”

She was so frustrated she wanted to explode; having such a descendant truly brought shame upon her wherever she went!

“I…”

The Head of the Yiinn Family opened his mouth but didn’t immediately know where to start.

He didn’t want to end up like this either, but this was the reality; what could he do?

The Yiinn Stone Space was in his hands, and only he could open it now. No one dared to harm him or his two grandsons for fear that the Yiinn Stone Space might never open again.

But this didn’t mean that when the Yiinn Stone Space was opened, it would allow him access.

Moreover, even if he wanted to enter, he wouldn’t be at ease leaving the two children, Yinn He and Yiinn Jue; they couldn’t fall into the hands of others.

“High Priest, two years ago, a great war broke out in the Plant Plane, the Nine Kingdoms were in chaos, too many innocent people died. The Yiinn Family, being a prominent clan then, stepped forward to stop it…”

Unfortunately, even a prominent clan trying to stop such a massive war was somewhat beyond their capabilities.

In the end, the Family Head of the Yiinn Family–his son–died in that battle, and his daughter-in-law also died protecting the people, leading to the downfall of the Yiinn Family.

Only these two children remained; Yiinn Jue was just a few months old in swaddling clothes back then.

He had no choice but to take up the position of Family Head again.

“Even so, it shouldn’t have fallen to such a state, right?”

Leng Yikun listened to his recounting of the events two years prior and commented.

Being a prominent clan, there should have been some heritage left, right? Look at the place he was living in; it lacked everything.

That the two children could grow up so far was truly a miracle.

“It shouldn’t have been like this originally, but at that time the foundation of the Yiinn Family was injured, and several of the elders within the clan betrayed us, which led to the current state, and the clan’s properties were taken away by the Great Elder.”

The Head of the Yiinn Family sighed softly.

He did want to regain the family properties, but he had two children to raise, and although he had cultivation, he ultimately couldn’t stand alone against many.

He thought of just getting by like this, raising the two children until they grew up before contemplating any other plans.

How could he have imagined that within such a short span of two years, he would encounter the High Priest Demon Heart, whom several generations of the Yiinn Family had never seen.
