Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 177 The New Agreement (Part 2)

Recalling those last ten minutes or so in the illusionary space, Yan Huai looked at the group before him, his tone nonchalant yet solemn: "From this day forward, unless it is a matter of life and death, members of the Yan family are forbidden from revealing their bloodline, talents, or even their identities in this world..."

"Moreover, as long as this world continues, our feud with the Wang family will never be resolved. However, from now on, you no longer need to follow the so-called mission and hide everywhere."

"You can go wherever you want, be who you want, and live the life you want by blending into the crowd. But there are only three things you must remember: do not be bullied, do not be enslaved, and do not go against your own heart."

"If you ever encounter something difficult to resolve... you can find me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people in front of him exchanged glances, their eyes conveying the same meaning—that's all? That's it?

Having understood the meaning behind those glances, Yan Huai paused slightly before finally raising his left hand from the water, revealing a jade pendant with an ancient pattern in his palm.

"Of course there's more..."

Seeing that the jade tablet was still drawing something from Yan Huai's body, Yan Chen frowned and anger rose in his eyes.

"The clan leader's seal..."

“Hmm,” Yan Huai nodded in affirmation of this ambiguous response, and pretending that Yan Chen’s gaze did not exist, he put the jade pendant away again, and at the right moment recalled what the world consciousness had said earlier, “the second agreement.”

"Your people are far more trustworthy than you. Zhang Qiling will definitely embark on the path of regaining his memories again, which is fraught with danger. Therefore, to prevent you from breaking the agreement to help him, you must seal your bloodline and talent below the limits that the world can bear. Otherwise, the agreement will be void, and I will directly teleport you and your people to other worlds."

"...You agreed!" Yan Chen gritted his teeth, while the seven members of the Yan family were completely bewildered.

"I agreed."

wow-

The loud splash startled everyone except Yan Huai. They had never seen Yan Chen so angry before, and they immediately realized that something was wrong with the clan leader's seal.

After Yan Chen stormed out of the hot fountain and his figure completely disappeared from sight, the honest Yan Xing was still pushed out by the looks of his brothers.

"Clan chief..."

Yan Huai sighed and rubbed his forehead: "Just say it."

"What happened to the clan chief's seal? Why is Brother Yanchen so angry?"

Yan Huai's expression was somewhat complicated. He wasn't sure how long after he left these guys were born, or how much they knew about what happened back then, but Yan Chen and their elders should have mentioned it to them: "The Clan Chief's Seal is maintained by the combined spiritual power of all the successive Clan Chiefs of the Azure Dragon Clan. When it acts as a seal on outsiders, it acts as a seal on members of the clan..."

Yan Huai paused, then continued, "After Yan Xi betrayed the clan, he was sealed within the clan leader's seal. But my situation is different from his; what's sealed inside is only energy beyond the boundaries of this world. However, due to the influence of the internal environment, my external physical body will still experience a brief period of weakness, during which I need to be careful. It's not as severe as what my brother experienced. If I want to reintegrate the energy later, it will still be..."

Wow – Wow –

"OK......"

Yan Huai wiped the water splashed on his face and watched as several people glared at him and left. He thought to himself that he, the clan leader, was now nothing but a nobody, with no authority whatsoever!

His father, Yan Zhe... although he could instantly display a childlike expression when facing his mother, Gu Ling, he was still highly trustworthy to outsiders. Unlike him, who was frequently subjected to strange treatment because of a minor period of weakness, and might even be beaten up soon. It was truly too miserable for him...
