Chapter 502 Family Reunion
"At this time when families gather together and bid farewell to the old and welcome the new."

"We are reaching out to people of all ethnicities across the country."

"To our compatriots overseas, and the sons and daughters of Aurora all over the world, let me say this."

"happy New Year!"

…………

On New Year's Eve, several well-known hosts greeted the people across the country on TV on a gorgeous and festive stage, and the Aurora Spring Festival Gala with unique Aurora characteristics also kicked off.

Outside the house, the sound of various firecrackers rang out one after another, making many foreigners who had just arrived in Zhendan jump with fear. Inside the house, every household was laughing and having a great time.

At this moment, Luo Jun was sitting on the sofa in Yuan's home, surrounded by various relatives from his master's family.

Mr. Yuan is over 100 years old. He has not only one daughter, Dean Su, but also many descendants, including nephews and grandchildren. The originally spacious villa seems a bit crowded after being filled with so many relatives.

Luo Jun, who had spent the New Year alone for several years, suddenly felt a little uneasy when faced with such a scene, even though he had experienced many ups and downs.

Of course, it was impossible for Mr. Yuan to say that Luo Jun was his direct disciple. He could only say that he was a distant relative, of the same generation as Su Manchen.

This is amazing. Among Mr. Yuan’s children, Dean Su is over 60 years old and is the youngest. Her older brothers and sisters are no longer around. Luo Jun is of the same generation as her, and the dozens of people in the room are all his juniors.

Therefore, when Luo Jun first came, everyone kept their distance from him. However, after a New Year's Eve dinner, they became closer to each other, and this group of young people started to act like "no one cares about their seniority".

"So, you are a relative of Grandma Su?" asked a middle-aged man in his fifties. His name was Yuan Sizhe, and he was Old Man Yuan's grandson.

"Yes..." Luo Jun nodded. The so-called Grandma Su was the mother of Dean Su, not Yuan Lao's original wife. Yuan Lao's first wife died in the exploration of the other world. Later, Yuan Lao met Su Manchen's mother and had Su Manchen after marriage. But later they divorced for some reasons. At that time, the young Su Manchen followed her mother and changed her surname to Su, and cut off contact with Yuan Lao. It was not until many years later that she also stepped into the extraordinary world and became the dean that she recognized Yuan Lao for work reasons...

The process of their recognition is enough to make a dozens-episode ethical drama, so I won’t go into details here. In short, after all these years, Dean Su has tentatively recognized this biological father, and the relationship between the two is not as distant as it was at the beginning. However, because of his childhood experience, he still feels a little awkward with Mr. Yuan. Even during the Chinese New Year, he is unwilling to come to his home, and at most he makes a phone call or sends a message.

"That's rare..." Yuan Sizhe touched his chin: "Grandma Su's relatives all regard Grandpa as an enemy..."

"Oh, I'm just a distant relative... We have almost no blood relationship, and we haven't been in touch for many years." Luo Jun said as he introduced himself to Mr. Yuan: "If I hadn't been admitted to Ningdong College this time and investigated my family background, Mr. Yuan wouldn't have known that we are related..."

"That's amazing! Back then, I also took the exam for several years but failed. I was scolded by my grandfather many times..." Yuan Sizhe sighed endlessly when recalling the past.

"That's because you are too stupid." A woman in her forties said, "I passed the exam in just one year!" Her name is Yuan Sijia, she is the granddaughter of Mr. Yuan and the cousin of Yuan Sizhe.

"What's the point of you passing the exam? You'll still be working as a clerk after graduation." Yuan Sizhe pouted and said, "At least I worked as an explorer for several years."

"Can't I just ask for stability?" Yuan Sijia retorted: "Besides, don't bring up those years when you were an explorer. You were almost killed by the polluters. It was your uncle who went to the Wulin to save you!"

"By the way, how are Xiao Luo's grades this year? What class has he been assigned to next semester?" asked a man in his thirties from the other side. His name was Yuan Weien, and he was the great-grandson of Mr. Yuan.

The final exam of Ningdong College is actually also a class placement exam for the next semester. Based on the grades and performance, you can decide which class you will join for the next semester.

"I'll be in Class A next semester." Luo Jun answered honestly.

"Oh, top student!"

"very impressive!"

"I heard that you have only been in contact with Yuan Qi for less than a year?"

"From now on, she will be a rising star."

There were exclamations of admiration all around, and a young woman in her mid-twenties said, "I was also in Class A back then, why didn't you praise me like this..." Her name was Yuan Weiyi, and she was Yuan Weien's sister.

"You?" Yuan Wei'en pouted and said, "Don't you think about how much resources your parents invested in training you? They worked so hard to get you to the fourth level of Pei Yuan Realm before you entered school. If you can't even be assigned to Class A, you should apologize to your great grandfather!"

Hearing what he said, the whole family burst into laughter.

"If you ask me, the most promising person in our family in the past twenty years has to be Xiao Min." Yuan Sizhe said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes!" After hearing what he said, the others echoed him and turned their eyes to a little girl wearing glasses who was reading a book in the corner.

Noticing everyone's gaze, the girl raised her head, looked around blankly, then lowered her head and buried herself in the ocean of knowledge again.

This girl is called Yuan Lingmin, she is only sixteen years old this year, and is the great-great-granddaughter of Mr. Yuan. But looking at her confused appearance, the word Lingmin is totally unrelated to her.

But Luo Jun didn't dare to look down on her. Practitioners' eyesight was basically fine, and the glasses they wore were treasures unless they were just for fun. Some were to increase their abilities, and some were to hide their strength.

This girl looked weak and quiet, and her aura wasn't very strong, but with Luo Jun's keen insight, he could sense that she exuded an extraordinary aura.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Min will be a senior in high school next year, right? I would say don't waste that time studying in high school. Just apply to Explorer Academy this year."

"That won't work." Xiao Min's parents said, "Although explorers focus on strength, what's more important is the heart that dedicates itself to the main world. If you immerse yourself in the world of cultivators too early and lack contact with ordinary people, you will also lack a sense of belonging to this world. Many polluters are shaken by this."

As she spoke, Xiao Min's mother walked forward and touched her daughter's head: "I hope she can have more contact with ordinary classmates, experience their lives, understand their joys and sorrows... This is exactly what Xiao Min lacks."

Luo Jun was also touched by these words. All along, most practitioners have been working hard to improve their realm and make themselves as superior as possible to ordinary people. But here, these descendants of Yuan Lao are still proud of being ordinary people. They are sincerely fighting for ordinary people and for this world.

"Oh, stop talking nonsense!" At this time, Yuan Lao's voice came: "The Spring Festival Gala has already started, have you all forgotten what to do?"

When everyone looked over, they saw that the huge dining table had been pushed into the living room, with a chopping board and rolling pin on it.

"It's time to make dumplings again..." Several young people were a little impatient and seemed not to be very interested in this annual program. Instead, the elders urged the children to help.

With such a large family, there are naturally a lot of dumplings to eat during the New Year's Eve. Everyone gathered around the table, divided the work, and began to skillfully wrap dumplings with the background music of the Spring Festival Gala.

As a guest, Luo Jun was naturally embarrassed to sit there and help. He had lived with his grandfather since he was young, so making dumplings was no problem for him. In addition, he was very good at making dumplings, so he took on the responsibility of rolling the dough by himself. He stood in the middle of the table, using a rolling pin to make the dumpling skins fly everywhere. He served the whole family, young and old, men and women.

Just when everyone was having a happy family time, Old Yuan's face suddenly changed: "Why at this time?" "What's wrong, Grandpa?" Yuan Sizhe asked curiously.

Elder Yuan waved his hand: "Nothing, I just received a notification about the Chaos mission... Really, I just wanted to have a quiet New Year."

"Chaos mission... I don't know what it is." Yuan Weiyi frowned and said, "I don't know if I can make it in time for the dumplings..."

"It's not that easy." Old Yuan cursed with a smile: "The Chaos Mission will take at least a few hours, and it may take several days. Maybe I will have to spend the whole New Year on it... I should have found a way to complete the mission before the New Year. Forget it, there's no point complaining now. You guys continue making dumplings, and I'll go make some preparations."

"Grandpa..." As soon as Old Yuan took off his apron, he heard Yuan Lingmin calling him. Old Yuan liked this extremely talented great-great-granddaughter very much. The old man looked over with a smile: "What's wrong, Xiaomin?"

Yuan Lingmin pushed up his glasses, tilted his head to look at Old Yuan, and suddenly said, "You are going to die!"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Jun, who was rolling dough, almost had his rolling pin fly out...

This girl is so unscrupulous when she speaks. When he was a kid, his grandfather would scold him if he mentioned the word "medicine", not to mention illness or death. Yuan Lingmin not only dared to say that, but also pointed at her grandfather's nose and said that he was going to die? Wouldn't she be beaten up and thrown out by the adults in the family?

Luo Jun looked around nervously, only to find that no one was scolding her. Instead, everyone had a serious look on their faces.

"Xiao Min, are you telling the truth?" Yuan Sijia walked over and asked.

Yuan Lingmin nodded and pointed at Yuan Lao and said, "That's right, there is a strong aura of death, and it looks like you are in danger of death."

When everyone heard this, they all looked worried. Even Elder Yuan frowned and asked, "When did it start?"

"Just now, when you said you received the Chaos mission."

"How is this possible!" Yuan Sijia asked in surprise, "Grandpa has a death-avoiding treasure, how could he show signs of death?"

"The treasure is not omnipotent..." Yuan Lao nodded: "It seems that this mission is not easy."

Luo Jun probably understood it this time. It was obvious that Yuan Lingmin's words were not groundless. She could obviously see something.

"Xiao Min is an insight school, and she is an extremely talented insight school." Yuan Weien, who was standing by, saw Luo Jun's curiosity and explained, "The insight school's practice has two directions, one real and one virtual. The ultimate of the real direction is the Eye of Truth, which can see through all disguises and lies, leaving no room for people to hide, and even see through people's hearts. Song Yi from your school is a leader in practicing the Eye of Truth."

"The other virtual direction is called the Sky Eye, also known as the Eye of Destiny. Although the ability to see through disguises is not as strong as the True Eye when practicing this direction, it can see the hidden information behind things, see the veins of destiny, and even have the ability to predict the future."

"Xiao Min has a very strong talent for the third eye, and what she is best at is seeing the death of others. Although this ability is still immature and she often cannot use it as she wishes, when it works, it never fails!"

After hearing what Yuan Wei'en said, Luo Jun also frowned: "So, this mission, Mr. Yuan, is likely to be dangerous? Is there no way to crack it?"

"Of course." Yuan Wei'en added: "The Sky Eye only sees the current direction of destiny. If the current conditions change, it is possible to change destiny."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Sizhe stood up and said, "Well, I'll go and accompany Grandpa on the mission! I also have a follower card in my hand, which allows me to follow those who have received the Chaos Mission Recruitment and participate in the mission together."

As he spoke, he actually took out a card, which was faintly emitting a blue light. It should be a rare treasure.

“No.” Yuan Lingmin shook his head. “Grandpa’s deathly appearance hasn’t diminished in the slightest… and when you took out the follow card, you also showed a deathly appearance… a deathly appearance with no chance of survival.”

"What?" Yuan Sizhe was embarrassed: "You said I died more thoroughly than Grandpa?"

"Don't make trouble with your half-baked knowledge." An old lady in her sixties came over and said, "Let me go with Grandpa."

The old woman's name is Yuan Sining, and she is Mr. Yuan's granddaughter.

"Second sister, are you going?" Yuan Sizhe asked, "You haven't fully recovered from your last injury, right?"

"It's okay now." Yuan Sining shook her head: "My ability is auxiliary and can protect grandpa." As she said that, she snatched the follow card from Yuan Sizhe and looked at Xiao Min.

Yuan Lingmin shook her head: "Grandpa's death signs have slightly weakened, but Second Aunt is definitely dead!"

"Stop arguing." At this time, a 70-year-old man with a beard stood up and said, "I'll go."

Yuan Sijie, the eldest grandson of Old Yuan, is also Yuan Lingmin's grandfather. Apart from Old Yuan, he is the senior with the highest cultivation level in the Yuan family.

"But brother, you just participated in a mission a few days ago, right? You can't use the follow card."

Yuan Sijie waved his hand and took out another card: "It's okay, I have a refresh card that can clear the task progress within the cycle and then carry out the task again." As he said that, he took the follow card from Yuan Sining's hand.

Xiao Min shook her head again: "Grandpa's deathly appearance has hardly diminished, but you, Grandpa, look extremely dead..."

"So dangerous?" Everyone was shocked when they heard it.

"Alright, alright." Elder Yuan waved his hands. "It's just a narrow escape from death. It's not like I haven't experienced it before... Isn't there still a glimmer of hope? Don't worry, I will be back for the New Year."

"No, how can we let grandpa (great-grandfather) risk his life? I want to go with you!" Everyone volunteered. During the argument, Yuan Sijie's hands were empty and the two cards disappeared.

"Who took my card?" Yuan Sijie asked angrily. At this time, Luo Jun stood beside Yuan Lao holding the refresh card and follow card: "Let me go."

"You?!" No one expected that this young distant relative would actually stand up.

"How can this be? You are a guest and just a student. How can we let you..." Everyone was about to dissuade him, but Luo Jun smiled slightly, injected vitality, and used up the two cards.

"You...are fooling around!" Yuan Lao was shocked when he saw this: "How can you act on your own, little brat!"

Others also started to get angry: "Who else has a follow card? Take it out now?!"

Just when everyone was in chaos, Yuan Lingmin suddenly spoke.

"Grandpa's deathly appearance has been greatly reduced!"
