"For so many years, you all think you know me well. But let me tell you, you don't know me at all!"
"Today, I want to be completely honest with you and talk openly about a big secret that I've been hiding for over twenty years!"
Outside the ancestral hall, Liu Chao was speaking with great enthusiasm, his spittle flying everywhere.
Upon hearing this, the members of the Liu clan all pricked up their ears curiously.
Beside him, the First Elder, Liu Dahai, looked at Liu Chao with eyes full of affection and said kindly with a smile, "My dear disciple, since it's a secret, you'd better not say it!"
"No!" Liu Chao waved his hand, his face serious. "I have to say it! Don't stop me!"
Seeing that Liu Dahai was about to dissuade him again, Liu Chao widened his eyes, and with a swish, he drew the sword from his waist and shouted loudly, "If you stop me again, I'll get really angry!"
Liu Dahai was startled. What on earth had happened to his beloved disciple?
The clan leader, Liu Tao, along with the other elders and the members of the Liu clan below the steps, all had strange expressions on their faces. They were thinking to themselves, what was wrong with Liu Chao? He usually talked very little.
Inside the coffin in the ancestral hall, Liu Fan was dumbfounded.
"This Sincere - Treatment Curse is really something strange!"
At this moment, Liu Chao seemed like a completely different person!
Liu Fan continued to observe...
On the steps outside the ancestral hall, Liu Chao cleared his throat, stretched out a finger, and pointed at all the members of the Liu clan below the steps. With an arrogant look on his face, he shouted, "To be honest, all of you here are nothing but losers, trash!"
Liu Chao had finally spoken out what he had kept in his heart for years, starting a full - scale mockery mode!
The members of the Liu clan were stunned for a moment, and then they became furious. How could Liu Chao swear at them like this?
The crowd began to stir.
Liu Dahai was shocked when he saw this and quickly motioned for Liu Chao to stop talking nonsense.
Unexpectedly, he also got hit one after another!
Liu Chao turned his head, his eyes falling on Liu Dahai. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he sneered, "Old guy, what are you in such a hurry for? Let me tell you, you're actually a complete idiot!"
As he spoke, his eyes were extremely sincere as he stared straight at the stunned Liu Dahai.
Seeing that Liu Dahai didn't respond, Liu Chao emphasized his tone and said earnestly, "I'm telling the truth. In my heart, you're really a complete idiot!"
"Among people, the most important thing is to be sincere. So, I'm not lying to you. I'm telling the whole truth!"
"Presumptuous!" Clan leader Liu Tao roared. "How dare you talk nonsense in front of the ancestor's spirit tablet!"
Liu Chao stared back. "What ancestor? In fact, I'm not Liu Chao. My name is Lu Wushuang, the direct descendant of the Lu clan!"
"Twenty years ago, the head of the Lu clan killed a Liu - clan couple who were having a difficult childbirth and replaced their child with me. Liu Dahai thought I was that child and took me away to raise me!"
"So, I'm from the Lu clan. My surname is Lu, and my name is Lu Wushuang!"
"The head of the Lu clan promised me that as long as I learned the body - cultivation techniques of the Liu clan and obtained the position of the head of the Liu clan, then he would join hands with me to completely replace the Liu clan!"
After Liu Chao finished speaking, all the members of the Liu clan were dumbstruck, and they didn't react for a while.
"The Sincere - Treatment Curse is this powerful? Liu Chao is really being completely sincere without any concealment."
Liu Fan was shocked!
The power of the curse technique of "The Wrath of the Ancestor" was even more powerful than he had expected. Looking at Liu Chao, he seemed to have completely let himself go!
Outside the ancestral hall, clan leader Liu Tao's face was full of disbelief.
This secret was too astonishing!
The several elders were so shocked that their mouths hung wide open. The First Elder, Liu Dahai, was trembling all over, his face deathly pale. He pointed at Liu Chao, his lips quivering. He stammered "you... you... you" for a long time but was too angry to say a complete sentence.
"I'm very curious. This matter is so secretive. Why did you reveal it in public?"
Liu Tao's face regained its calm, but his eyes were filled with hidden killing intent. Still, he asked out of curiosity.
The other clan members also looked over.
How could Liu Chao so blatantly tell everyone such a top - secret? Was there some trick?
Liu Chao looked at Liu Tao, then swept his eyes over all the members of the Liu clan. His eyes were extremely sincere as he said, "I've said it. Among people, the most important thing is to be sincere. If there are any secrets, they should be spoken out loud. Isn't that right?!"
"Is that so?!"
Liu Tao blinked, looking a bit confused. He turned his head to look at the several elders, and they all had a blank look on their faces.
Listening to Liu Chao's words, they felt that their outlooks on life and values had been completely overturned at this moment!
"Evil disciple, die!"
At this time, the First Elder, Liu Dahai, couldn't stand it anymore. With a fierce roar, he suddenly rushed out and slapped Liu Chao's chest with a palm.
Liu Chao used to be his pride, but at this moment, Liu Chao was his shame, making him lose all face in front of the clan members.
Liu Chao spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. Looking at Liu Dahai, whose eyes were full of killing intent, he was very weak but still said earnestly, "Remember, among people, the most important thing is to be sincere..."
After saying that, he breathed his last.
The members of the Liu clan fell silent. Looking at Liu Chao's body, they couldn't say a word for a long time. Many of them even had question marks all over their heads.
"Liu Chao is really too strange today!"
"I feel... as if... he's like a different person!"
"Even until his death, he was telling us to be sincere... It's really damn strange!"
In front of the ancestral hall, in the courtyard, the clan members were whispering.
The wind blew, and the withered leaves on the big willow tree in the courtyard rustled down.
The clan members looked up at the sky, then looked down at Liu Chao's body. Finally, their eyes all fell on the coffin in the ancestral hall.
"Could it be that the ancestor has shown his spirit?!"
Suddenly, someone in the courtyard shouted.
In an instant, everyone was in an uproar. Then they all shouted that the ancestor had shown his spirit.
Then, they all knelt down in a flurry and began to kowtow to the coffin in the ancestral hall.
At the entrance of the ancestral hall, clan leader Liu Tao and the other several elders suddenly came to their senses. They looked at each other and said in unison, "Perhaps, it really is the ancestor showing his spirit!"
The Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder excitedly shouted, "What do you mean perhaps? It's definitely the ancestor showing his spirit!"
After saying that, they quickly knelt down to kowtow. Liu Tao and the others also quickly bowed down to kowtow.
Inside the coffin in the ancestral hall.
Liu Fan was excited.
Because at this moment, green Filial Piety Values were constantly flying out from the heads of the clan members, and the values were all very large.
"Clan member Liu Daquan worshiped you, Filial Piety Value +50..."
"Clan member Liu Erquan worshiped you, Filial Piety Value +45..."
"Clan leader Liu Tao worshiped you, Filial Piety Value +100..."
"Fifth Elder Liu Wuhai worshiped you, Filial Piety Value +200..."
Liu Fan watched as the Filial Piety Values on the system panel were rising rapidly. He was in a great mood.
However, when he saw the Filial Piety Value on the head of the First Elder, Liu Dahai, Liu Fan immediately became unhappy.
Because on Liu Dahai's head, the Filial Piety Value was exactly the same as before, still the number "10".
In addition, for the Second Elder, Liu Erhai, and the Third Elder, Liu Sanhai, their Filial Piety Values also didn't change, one was "12" and the other was "13".
"These three old fellows..."
Liu Fan felt annoyed, itching to teach them a lesson.
As for those few children with runny noses, there was still no Filial Piety Value on their heads.
In their eyes, there was only the braised pig's head on the offering table...
