He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

Looking at the kind faces before him, which had regained their youth but still bore the marks of time, Lu Chen felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

These are all heroes who made great contributions to the human race!

Being able to establish a relationship with them, even if it's just as a junior, would be an immense honor and opportunity.

The image of Xuan Yuanwu's domineering yet beautiful face involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

These seniors, in terms of seniority, are probably all her grandfathers, right?

With a thought racing through his mind, Lu Chen no longer hesitated, took a step back, and straightened his clothes.

Then, looking at the "grandparents" around him who had regained their youth,

He knelt down solemnly on both knees and respectfully kowtowed.

"Grandson Lu Chen greets all grandpas and grandmas!"

The way he called out "Grandpa and Grandma" was genuine and heartfelt, without the slightest hint of reluctance.

To establish a connection with these heroes, even if it means acting like a subordinate,

This almost means that he can now act with impunity in China, provided he doesn't intentionally kill himself.

This relationship is more precious than any treasure.

"Oh! My dear grandson!"

Zhu Suqing was the first to react, her eyes crinkling into crescents with laughter, and she quickly stepped forward to help Lu Chen up.

"Good! Good grandson!"

Huo Yun and Elder Li stopped arguing and smiled broadly, their eyes filled with even more affection as they looked at Lu Chen.

"Come, come, my dear grandson, Grandma has a little something for you!"

Zhu Suqing was the quickest; she pulled a seemingly ordinary jade hairpin from her hair and placed it in Lu Chen's hand.

"This hairpin may look unremarkable, but it's actually a great treasure that combines offense and defense. It can be activated with mental power and can save your life in critical moments."

"Thank you, Grandma!"

Lu Chen accepted it with both hands without hesitation. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, and he could feel the spiritual energy contained within it.

"Your grandpa Li is poor, I don't have anything good to offer."

Old Li stroked his non-existent beard, smiled, and handed over an antique black ring.

"This spatial ring contains some spoils of war that I, this old man, accumulated from killing enemies back in the day."

There are some gold and silver items, as well as some damaged weapons and materials; you'll have to make do with those.

Lu Chen took the ring and probed it with his spiritual power, and was immediately startled.

The interior was extremely spacious, filled with mountains of gold, silver, jewels, and spirit coins.

There were also dozens of broken weapons, armor, and mineral materials that emitted extraordinary energy.

Although most of them are incomplete, they exude an ancient and powerful aura, clearly indicating that they are not ordinary items.

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

Lu Chen thanked him again, deeply shocked. This Grandpa Li must have been a formidable killing machine back then.

"This is a jade pendant, a keepsake from your Grandpa Liu's family."

A well-off middle-aged man smiled and handed over a piece of mutton-fat jade engraved with the character "Liu".

"Take this and go to any Liu's Chamber of Commerce. Take whatever you like, don't be shy!"

"Damn it! Old Liu, you're shameless! Using the family business as a gift!"

Huoyun laughed and cursed from the side.

"Who told you to be poor?"

Old Liu glanced at him smugly.

"Come here, grandson, I can't compare to them, I'm just a penniless pauper."

Here are a few 'space teleportation symbols' that I drew myself.

Although the distance isn't far, it's still usable for escaping or traveling in a critical moment.

A young man skilled in talismans took out several yellowed talisman papers.

"Little Lu, this is the 'Ice Silk Soft Armor' that I made by hand when I was young. It's thin, breathable, and has pretty good defensive capabilities. I'm giving it to you."

Another gentle and beautiful grandmother took out a silver inner armor that was as thin as a cicada's wing.

"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma!"

Soon, Lu Chen's arms and hands were piled high with all sorts of gifts, no less than a hundred!

Many of them are high-level equipment and items.

He can't use it at his current level.

However, some of them are high-quality items without level restrictions, which are much better than the beginner equipment he is wearing.

The generosity of this "greeting gift" was enough to make any scion of a prominent family envious.

"Little Lu,"

Seeing Lu Chen overwhelmed with gifts, Zhu Suqing smiled even more broadly.

He leaned closer and lowered his voice.

Grandma's family has many young and beautiful descendants.

They are all well-educated and talented. I'll introduce them to you another day.

If you like them all, you can marry them all!

She was truly determined; if she could "lure" Lu Chen back to the Zhu family,

Even if it's just a marriage alliance, the family will definitely prosper for the next hundred years.

"Cough cough..."

Tie Shanhe, unable to bear watching any longer, coughed twice and kindly reminded him.

"Xiaozhu, I advise you not to meddle in matters of love between men and women."

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Suqing immediately turned her head, raising her eyebrows.

"Can't I, as the grandmother, even make decisions about my grandson's marriage?"

She then narrowed her eyes and sized up Tie Shanhe.

"Or is it that you, my buddy, also want to bring Xiao Lu to your house?"

Are your tomboys as pretty as my daughter?

"Old woman, don't get so angry."

The young man next to him, known as "Old Blind Man" but with incredibly sharp eyes, tried to smooth things over.

"The times are different now than when we were young; people value free love now."

So, let Lu choose for himself.

"I'm just giving Xiao Lu more options! If he doesn't like it, he can always choose something else!"

Zhu Suqing spoke with righteous indignation.

Lu Chen was surrounded by these enthusiastic "grandpas and grandmas".

Listening to them worry about their "life's most important event,"

I'm feeling completely overwhelmed, racking my brains to figure out how to get through this tactfully.

Tie Shanhe spoke again at this moment, looking at Zhu Suqing with a somewhat subtle expression:

"He's been set on by that little phoenix from the Xuanyuan family. Are you sure you want to compete with her for him?"

He paused, then added,

"Moreover, if it weren't for Xiao Wu's strong protection, Xiao Lu wouldn't be here."

"The little phoenix of the Xuanyuan family?"

Zhu Suqing was taken aback, then her expression changed slightly.

"You mean... that crazy girl, Xuanyuan Wu?"

"Who else but her?" Tie Shanhe shrugged.

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings became much quieter.

Those old heroes who originally wanted to join in the commotion and introduce their own descendants to Lu Chen,

They all instinctively shrank their necks.

That little girl... I never thought she had a time when she first fell in love?

They really thought she was going to be like Leng Shuang, destined to grow old alone!

However, just thinking about Xuan Yuanwu's fiery temper and domineering personality... who would dare to steal her man?

Perhaps they think their house is too sturdy and want to replace it with a new one?

"Never mind..."

Zhu Suqing's smile froze for a moment, then she waved her hand dismissively, as if shooing away a fly.

"Xiao Lu, um... Grandma was just joking. I wish you... well, good luck!"

She didn't want that crazy girl to hold a grudge over something like this.

At that point, let alone marriage alliances, it will be questionable whether they can even save their ancestral home.

but……

Her eyes lit up. If the main wife wasn't an option, she could try for a concubine!

Alternatively, they could send their most outstanding junior to be that crazy girl's personal maid, taking advantage of their proximity...

Zhu Suqing's mind started to stir again; she had to somehow get her family involved with Xiao Lu.

If one of Xiao Lu's children were to awaken a similar extraordinary profession in the future, that would truly bring glory to the family!
