Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

"I, Jiang Bofu, respectfully welcome Young Master Wen!"

The ancient, deep voice, like the morning bell and evening drum, drifted from afar, echoing far and wide.

Within the frame, your dignified face sits quietly, utterly still.

[His eyes slowly lifted, gazing through the curtain at the distance ahead.]

[The first and second generation leaders, Pang Hai; the first and second generation leaders, Xu Hui; and Xu Kun squatting beside you.]

[They all cast horrified glances at you.]

[Especially Xu Kun, who once again felt that terrifying sense of crisis.]

[Compared to the time when Zuo Shi was summoned, this time it was a matter of changing choices.]

At this moment, you exude an indescribable indifference.

It's as if you've completely severed ties with some past.

Your demeanor was completely at ease.

But deep within his eyes surged intense emotions.

Because of this sound...

【You're all too familiar with this!】

【call!】

An invisible aura drew back the curtain, allowing you and Jiang Bofu to gaze at each other from afar.

That was an elderly man with a weathered face and deep wrinkles.

He was not tall, and even appeared slightly hunched.

[Furthermore, I lack the youthful exuberance of an eighty-nine-year-old commander.]

The way he looks at you habitually reveals kindness and tolerance.

[It was as if they were facing a beloved junior.]

Your expression was indifferent, your shattered eyes gleaming with a cold, unfathomable light.

[They simply gazed at each other, silent.]

Seeing your posture, Jiang Bofu couldn't help but sigh softly.

I conceal the kindness and gentleness in my eyes, and gaze at your face with complex emotions.

"Young Master..."

He spoke again, a wry smile on his face: "It's been so many years, you've matured."

The cold light that once pierced through everything in your eyes has faded.

The terrifying aura subsided.

[Surrounding them, Wei Qi, Pang Hai, Xu Hui, Xu Kun.]

Their expressions were astonished, their gazes shifting between you and Jiang Bofu.

These two simple sentences allowed them to sense an astonishing secret hidden within.

[This concerns your origins, the massacre of your family, and your karmic connection with the Western Regions.]

Young Master Wen...

[Wei Qi, Pang Hai, Xu Hui, Xu Kun.]

They silently repeated the name in their hearts, exchanging glances.

This form of address is clearly inappropriate for the current situation.

[It's more like a respectful term used by servants to address their masters in a family.]

But the man before us is Jiang Bofu.

[In the last reincarnation, he was able to contend with Han Jing; this time, he faces the utterly crazed Wei Qi.]

[And your previous probing.]

Its origins and lineage are very likely related to the heavens above.

Such a person addresses you as "Young Master".

And what is so astonishing about your identity?

Xu Kun's eerie green eyes widened, darted around, revealing the elation in his heart.

[In the last reincarnation, he already suspected you had an unusual background.]

[With a mere fourth-realm innate cultivation level, he managed to contend with Celestial Beings and even those at the Void Breaking stage.]

[Furthermore, they were involved in plotting the massacre of the powerful clans and noble families of the Great Cang Central Court.]

[Without an immense background, even a celestial being releasing their Dao pressure at will would be enough to annihilate you, body and soul.]

How could he still manage to storm the imperial city alone in the end?

[The final breakthrough that opened the gates of Taiyuan Palace.]

Yang Jian and Wei Yuan seemed to have known the inside story all along.

Therefore, he did not show much surprise.

[But hearing that Jiang Bofu addresses you as "Young Master" still feels absurd and unbelievable.]

You continued to silently watch Jiang Bofu.

The atmosphere at the scene became tense and oppressive because of your posture.

This strange situation caused the surrounding soldiers to hesitate.

[They were terrified that if they weren't careful, a major battle would break out at any moment.]

【finally.】

After a moment of suspense and anxiety, you suddenly let out a soft laugh.

[A laugh of enlightenment, a laugh of mockery.]

"How should I address you, sir?"

"It's Grand Tutor Jiang..."

【"still……"】

You looked up at Jiang Bofu, a smile spreading across your face.

【"housekeeper!"】

[Boom! Boom!]

As you uttered the words "Butler," billowing black smoke erupted from your body, sweeping and raging.

[It plunged the surrounding area into endless darkness.]

The already tense soldiers instinctively drew their blades, nocked arrows, and pointed their spears.

They stared in fear and trepidation at the black smoke that blotted out the sky.

[I deeply felt the rebellious atmosphere within it.]

[Boom!]

Black lightning bolts streaked across the sky, twisting and tearing, their roar like that of an enraged dragon.

A terrifying, world-destroying pressure pervaded the air.

Your pupils crackled with black arcs of electricity, your hand rested on the longsword at your waist, and you slowly rose.

[Clang!]

The sound of swordsmanship echoed throughout heaven and earth.

A sword mark is etched between your brows.

[A dark, void world of swords can be faintly seen slowly emerging behind you.]

[Wei Qi, Pang Hai, Xu Hui, Xu Kun.]

[Startled, I looked at your figure standing still on the car frame, my aura surging, my black coat swirling wildly.]

This is the first time they've seen you unleash such power and mystery.

[Especially Wei Qi, the second-generation Pang Hai, and the second-generation Xu Hui.]

They have been able to sense your cultivation level at the Fifth Realm of Destiny Wheel.

[So they're used to you strategizing behind the scenes, while they fight on the front lines as the core of the fighting force.]

Their trust in you did not stem from your cultivation level or combat strength.

Therefore, I neither underestimated nor belittled you, nor did I overestimate your abilities.

At least, they are confident that their abilities surpass yours.

After all, there's a difference of several realms, especially since they've reached the level of Celestial Beings; they exist in completely different worlds.

Even if you possess some amazing skills, you cannot erase the difference in cultivation level.

【result……】

They suddenly realized.

The eldest brother is indeed the eldest brother.

[The first generation leader was Pang Hai, and the first generation leaders were Xu Hui and Xu Kun.]

While I'm surprised by your outburst of power, I'm not entirely unexpected.

No matter what methods you use, they will take it for granted and blindly trust you.

What interests them even more is your conversation with Jiang Bofu.

[A Grand Tutor from the Western Regions addresses you as "Young Master."]

And you, you call him the butler.

[Through mutual understanding, all of you can immediately grasp the relationship between you.]

[The young master and the butler.]

But they recall the past as you described.

At sixteen, my entire family was wiped out and laid to rest in a mass grave.

The first generation leader, Pang Hai, thought to himself, "Logically speaking, even the eggs in my elder brother's house were mixed up back then, so how come the steward is still alive?"

"And this butler is actually Jiang Bofu!?"

The first generation leader, Xu Hui, also thought of this.

[Wei Qi, second-generation Pang Hai, second-generation Xu Hui.]

The three of them, having recovered from your sudden display of power, also began to think about this issue.

Soon, they came to an answer.

I understand why you are so angry.
