"Good, since none of you have any objections, then Xiao Yu is the new generation's leader!" After seeing everyone's expression, Li Suijun nodded and said loudly. After speaking, he turned to look at Xiao Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, from now on, you'll be the leader of the Blood Flame Unit. This isn't an easy responsibility; we will tell you about our unit's mission in the future!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu was a little stunned before he nodded. So far, he had not expressed any opinion, but when he saw the expectant looks on these elders' faces, he knew that there was no way to decline. Although this wasn't what his mother wanted to see, once he became an immortal cultivator, Xiao Yu already knew that it would be impossible for him to lead a peaceful life.

At first, he had only been thinking about fulfilling his grandfather's last wish and making the Wan Sheng Hall flourish. But when he saw Japan's small ghost realm, he realized that peaceful days could not last long; if Japan had such places, other countries might have them too.

Moreover, he was very confident in his own strength, and among these people were many of his friends and brothers whom he couldn't abandon. Therefore, when Li Suijun said to let him take charge of the Blood Flame Unit, Xiao Yu hesitated but did not oppose it.

The elders showed a satisfied smile on their faces after seeing that Xiao Yu didn't object. They hadn't consulted with him about letting Xiao Yu take over the Blood Flame Unit; some of them had initially thought he was too young to lead, but once they found out he was an immortal cultivator, everyone suddenly agreed.

When their eldest brother left his final ace in the hole, he said that only an immortal cultivator could use it. Therefore, they were focusing on cultivating some of them into immortal cultivators, but no one in their families had become such, so they gradually became disappointed and didn't tell anyone about the ace.

They didn't know exactly what their eldest brother left behind. Thus, they couldn't give it to outsiders; even if they kept it here, they wouldn't give it away. So when there were no immortal cultivators among their younger generations of disciples, they would rather leave it be. But upon learning that Xiao Yu was an immortal cultivator, they suddenly became very active-minded.

Moreover, their eldest brother had left behind a legacy, which could only open on the fifth day of the fifth month, and only an immortal cultivator could receive his legacy, requiring a dagger to unlock it. They originally planned to wait until Xiao Yu accepted the legacy before having him take charge of the Blood Flame Unit, but when Li Suijun met with Xiao Yu a few days ago, he found that Xiao Yu's compatibility with the surrounding heaven and earth had increased significantly; thus, after some thought, he realized that Xiao Yu might have broken through.

And before Xiao Yu broke through, he could already kill a grandmaster-level powerhouse. Now that Xiao Yu has broken through, how much stronger is his strength Therefore, Xiao Yu is completely qualified to take charge of the Blood Flame Unit.

After Li saw Xiao Yu's condition, he discussed with the other elders and decided that when Xiao Yu got married, he would officially take over the Blood Flame Unit.

Only after Xiao Yu had greeted everyone did these elders allow him to leave. Today was a big day for Xiao Yu, but they had already wasted two or three hours, so today's greetings were kept simple.

Xiao Yu bid farewell to these elders and left. Just as he was leaving, Zhang Dahai rushed out and accompanied him back to the quadrangle courtyard.

The wedding could be considered over for now, but it wasn't really finished because Xiao Yu's home was about to get lively with his brothers and friends.

At this moment, the quadrangle courtyard was still very bustling. Xiao Yu's brothers, some of his friends, even some old members from the peak cultivators' alliance were sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting.

When Xiao Yu entered the quadrangle courtyard, everyone stood up to greet him. These people were all friends Xiao Yu had made over the past year or so; they could be considered part of his network and connections. Especially these cultivators, almost all of them were among the top cultivators in China, representing one of the strongest forces in Chinese cultivation circles. Even the state wouldn't ignore this force.

For decades now, it had been these people who safeguarded the entire Chinese cultivation world; they could be considered pillars of the cultivation community. The government was aware of their existence but hadn’t thought about recruiting them into official positions because if such a move caused resistance, each one would retreat from public life, and at that point, it would ultimately harm national interests.

Xiao Yu greeted everyone individually before heading to his mother’s room beside. Although he had already agreed to this today, he still needed to inform his family members. He also couldn't keep the fact that he was a cultivator from his mother and Yunxi anymore; it would be impossible to hide once he took over the Blood Flame Unit.

"Xiao Yu, you're back" Xiao Jianying said when she saw Xiao Yu enter.

Xiao Jianying had already introduced everyone outside to Yunxi and Xiao Yu's sister Xiao Yu. However, with them present, many people couldn't talk freely, so after a brief greeting, they returned to their rooms.

Hearing Xiao Jianying's voice, Xiao Yu led Lu Yuhang and Yun Xi out from the inner room.

When Yun Xi saw Xiao Yu, she blushed slightly and smiled bashfully. From today on, she would be Xiao Yu’s wife; whenever she thought about this, her heart was filled with happiness and sweetness.

After seeing Yun Xi and Xiao Yu come out of the inner room, Xiao Yu nodded at them and said, "Since you are all here, I have something to tell you!"

Hearing what Xiao Yu had to say, looking at his slightly serious expression, they were momentarily stunned, staring at him in puzzlement.

"Is there anything wrong" thought Xiao Jianying and the others inwardly. When those elders kept Xiao Yu behind just now, they found it strange. Today was meant to be a happy day for Xiao Yu; what kind of matter needed to be discussed on such an important day Furthermore, when he was left behind, it lasted three hours—during which Zhang Dahan and the others even came back once to retrieve something.

"Mom, just now, Grandpa Li and the rest asked me to take over the special forces unit my grandfather used to be in charge of. I’ve already agreed, and the knife that was originally my grandfather’s is a token of leadership," said Xiao Yu after sitting down on the sofa.

Hearing this, Xiao Jianying couldn’t help but feel alarmed, asking worriedly, "Is it dangerous" As the only heir to both the Xiao and Zhao families, she didn’t want her son to take any risks. After all that had happened with Zhao Lingyun, she felt even more strongly about this.

She never asked for anything but hoped that her son would stay safe and sound; without Xiao Yu's support, she might have already joined Zhao Lingyun in the afterlife. So when she heard what Xiao Yu said, she couldn’t help asking.

Hearing his explanation, both Yun Xi and Xiao Yu looked at him with worried expressions, waiting for his response.

Upon hearing their concerns, Xiao Yu saw his mother’s anxious expression and fell into thought.

"Mom, this Blood Flame Force is a special unit and was also the unit where my grandfather served. If it's a peaceful era, there wouldn't be much danger, but if something goes wrong, no one can guarantee there won't be any risks!" After some thought, Xiao Yu felt it best to tell his mother the truth so that everyone in the family wouldn’t make wild guesses when something happens.

"Ah... Little Brother, does this mean there is still danger" Upon hearing what Xiao Yu said, Xiao Yu's sister, Xiao Yu, exclaimed and said worriedly. Yunxi also looked concerned at this moment.

"Xiao Yu, I don’t agree with you joining the Blood Flame Force. You may not know how powerful your father was back then, but he still met an unfortunate end; as a normal person like you, there's no way I can let you do something so dangerous!"

After hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Xiao Jianying, who had been keeping his head down, thought for a moment and raised his head to look at Xiao Yu seriously.

Xiao Jianying witnessed Zhao Lingyun's martial prowess firsthand. It wasn’t difficult for him to shatter large stones with one palm strike. Nonetheless, despite this, Zhao Lingyun still died in a foreign land without even finding his remains. As an ordinary person like Xiao Yu, Xiao Jianying could not agree to let Xiao Yu take on such risky work; this was why he had decisively refused Zhang Dahai's request for Xiao Yu to join the 13th Bureau.

"Mom, in reality, the risk isn’t too severe. Actually, I never told you all that I’m not an ordinary person. In fact, I'm even more powerful than my father was back then; and what I cultivate is... Dao!"

After hearing Xiao Jianying's words, Xiao Yu looked at his mother first, then Yunxi and Xiao Yu, seeing worry in their eyes. Hence, he decided to reveal that he wasn’t an ordinary person.

In the past, he was concerned about his family’s worries; now there was nothing for them to be worried about concerning him joining the Blood Flame Force. The country wouldn't harm someone like him either. Besides, he knew that it would only be a matter of time before this fact came out anyway. Furthermore, since he had already married Yunxi, there wasn’t any intention in hiding from her that he was an cultivator. Therefore, under these circumstances, where there was no more danger involved, he needed to inform his family about his real identity and stop them from worrying.

"Cultivating Dao What exactly is that" Upon hearing what Xiao Yu said, the expressions on their faces revealed a sense of bewilderment as they asked.

"There are many different types of cultivation. I cultivate upright righteousness; it's like an aura that repels all evil forces! Have you read about The Eight Immortals They cultivated Dao. Zhong Kui’s cultivation was upright righteousness!" After hearing his family members' questions, Xiao Yu nodded and explained briefly.into her father-in-law's room. The room looked the same as it did before; a table stood in front of the door where there was a photograph and some offerings.Seeing this portrait, the elders' expressio...
