Chapter 188 Family Feast
Han Cai personally named that plane Celestial Plane 616. Every available celestial Qi in this world came from Celestial Plane 616. Han Cai had already prepared well for this. He had built a connection with Celestial Plane 616 by increasing his spatial affinity to a very high level over time in his past life, so he would not have a difficult time cultivating in this life.
Han Cai cultivated quietly in his room, feeling the celestial Qi moving through his body. He was still not able to use his abilities, such as clone or ethereal invisibility, or any other techniques.
But he had no regrets about not being able to use his techniques. He had prepared enough with a powerful bodyguard and no karma debt.
No cultivator of the Grand Dao could see traces of him. He was no longer a transmigrator. So even if there were small clues about him being a transmigrator left somewhere, they were all erased.
Han Cai had no regrets about what transpired during the talent testing ceremony, either. He had no plans of staying low-key in the family, but he did not plan to get into a situation as he had in the past, where he would have to seal the whole royal family or kill Immortals.
But in general, the cons of being low-key outweighed the pros.
First, he deeply understood the debt of karma. Now, he would have some debt of karma from this family too.
Him being talented meant they would all be treated well. Second, as a talented younger generation of the family, they would leave him alone and give him his freedom too.
As for jealous members trying to kill him, he had a Heaven Immortal watching his back. Yongnian could smack the patriarch of the family into oblivion if it came to that.
Han Cai cultivated peacefully until the sun started going down in the west. The maids came and knocked on his door to prepare him for dinner with his grandfather.
In the evening, cute little Han Cai, all dressed up, left with his mother, Zhen Long, following close behind them. When they entered the dining hall, many of Yan Bo's household members were already present.
The dining hall was large, able to fit a hundred people easily, and Yan Bo had sired seven children from two wives. Han Cai's first grandmother was not present today. Each of Yan Bo's children had their own children, so the family was big, having around sixty to seventy members. This was just one elder Yan family; Han Cai felt his grandfather could build his own village with this many family members.
In the dining hall Yan Bo was sitting in the center seat; beside him was their grandmother. Also sitting at their table was his first brother. When Han Cai saw his first brother, the only thought he had was that his father really was a busy man, getting two wives pregnant in the same year. Doesn't he need to cultivate?
His father was sitting closest to their grandfather, and beside his father was sitting his first mother and Yan Che's sister, Han Cai's half-sister Yan Ning. Han Cai noticed his first uncle and second uncles were sitting at the table after his father's table, and after them were sitting other uncles with their wives. On the opposite side were sitting second wives and concubines.
Since his father's table was closest, this meant his father's position was elevated in the family from today onwards. He did deserve it, though.
The man had worked hard, impregnating two wives in one year to give two talented seeds to the family. That must have required really hard work and dedication. Not to mention, beside his mother and second mother, his father had some concubines too. Han Cai sighed; his father really was a harem seeker.
When Han Cai entered with his mother, their grandfather said, "Yan Kai, you will sit with me. Come here."
Han Cai's mother nodded and sent Han Cai to his grandfather. Han Cai went and sat beside his grandfather, while on the other side of their grandfather were sitting his grandmother and his brother Yan Che.
His father had a few kids from concubines too. It was not just Han Cai, Yan Che, and Yan Ning that were his sole children. But besides them, in his half brothers and sisters there was only one other brother who had Earth-grade talent. That brother was from a concubine, was 11 years old, and was going to apply for a sect next year. He was sitting with his mother at the opposite side quietly.
A few of his uncles had also sired Earth-grade talents too. When his cousins' talents were revealed, they had the opportunity to sit with their grandfather too. They all were nurtured well by the family. To the family, these were the elite younger generation of Yan Bo's household, and the whole household would put in the effort to nurture them.
It was the same story for every elder's household of the Yan family. When Han Cai went and sat beside his grandfather, his mother walked towards the opposite side to the seat where concubines and second wives sat.
But his grandfather spoke again, saying, "Liying, you sit with us too."
Hearing this, everyone was surprised. Kids whose talents were revealed would get to sit with their grandfather; that was part of the family tradition. But if the adults were seated near the grandfather, this meant that the adult was being given more power in the family. Asking Han Cai's mother to sit with them meant that their grandfather was implying that from now on, after their grandmother, Han Cai's mother would be second in the hierarchy, even above his father.
Han Cai's mother was perplexed, but she nodded and came to sit beside Han Cai.
