Chapter 402 -402 I Also Want to Keep a Low Profile
“Strange, isn’t it?” Seeing Fang Jueyu’s expression, the Chief couldn’t help but laugh, “Don’t underestimate the power of a nation. Your family’s presence is interwoven throughout thousands of years of Huaxia’s development history. Some things fade from memory, but there are many ways they can be recorded.”
The Chief pulled a very old book from the shelf. Inside was a large piece of animal skin, inscribed with some words in an obscure language, and most prominently, a totem symbol representing the Fang Family.
“This should be your family’s emblem, right?”
“It seems you know about it, Chief.” Fang Jueyu wasn’t overly tense. Even if the Chief knew his true identity, he wouldn’t pose any threat to him.
“I know a little. This totem existed long before the earliest dynasties of Huaxia. A family that has been around for thousands of years wouldn’t be ordinary, even if they started as one, right?”
“My family does have some uniqueness,” Fang Jueyu rubbed his nose.
“And it’s not just a bit unique, is it?” the Chief smiled, “We found this totem in the temples of many Huaxia dynasties and even in the remnants of Ancient Egyptian Civilization and Ancient Babylon.”
“Chief, you know everything!” Fang Jueyu said, “But you didn’t call me here just to expose my identity, right?”
“Hahaha, of course not. Truthfully, I’m more curious. What exactly made your family what it is?” The Chief opened a notebook filled with notes, “The earliest activities of the Fang Family date back to the time of the Yellow Emperor’s battle against Chi You.”
“At that time, the Yellow Emperor’s power was vastly unequaled by Chi You, but in the end, the Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You. It had a lot to do with a warrior whose tribe’s totem was your family’s emblem!” The Chief sat down, “Consider it telling me a story. I’m very interested in these matters.”
“Oh, the warrior you mentioned was an ancestor from more than ninety generations ago,” Fang Jueyu, who found it amusing to hear about his ancestors from Xiao Yi when bored, said, “Our family learned the secret of unlocking human potential a long time ago. Imagine what a powerful superpower user could achieve in the conflicts of that era?”
“That would change everything!” the Chief said. Even in modern warfare, superpower users played an invaluable role.
“But why did your ancestor choose to help the Yellow Emperor? According to our historical data, your ancestor’s tribe didn’t belong to any faction.”
“Blame it on Chi You himself,” Fang Jueyu shrugged, “You know about Shennong, right?”
“Of course, Shennong is the leader of the ancient Huaxia tribal alliance. But that’s just a legend. Whether such a person existed is still debated.”
“Shennong certainly existed, and the legend of Shennong tasting a hundred herbs is true,” Fang Jueyu said, “Back then, Shennong was the leader of a tribe right before the Xia Dynasty. The knowledge about farming, animal husbandry, herbs—my ancestor taught him all that.”
“Uh…” The Chief was somewhat baffled. That statement carried heavy implications. It implied that Huaxia’s agricultural civilization began with Fang Jueyu’s ancestor.
At that time, the Fang Family’s ancestors had just received guidance from Xiao Yi not long ago. Their knowledge and understanding were still in an embryonic stage, but Huaxia’s civilization was also taking root.
“What’s the connection to the war between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You’s tribe?”
“Well…” Fang Jueyu blushed slightly, “As far as I know, my ancestor was developing farmland and teaching Shennong some basic farming knowledge. Chi You and his tribe passed by and stole some grain from the experimental fields because of a food shortage, so…”

“Just because of that?” The Chief’s jaw nearly dropped. Fang Jueyu’s ancestor helped the Yellow Emperor defeat Chi You’s tribe just because they stole grain from an experimental field, setting the foundation for Huaxia civilization?
The reason seemed absurd and capricious!
Now the Chief understood why Fang Jueyu had his current personality; it was a trait passed down through generations. Fang Jueyu’s way of dealing with things was the same; if something displeased him, he’d find a way to make others suffer, and quite ruthlessly too.
“Chief, to put it simply, families with this emblem are either our followers or have accepted our family’s favor in the past.”
“Those families across various continents…” The Chief referred to families like the Ladinic Family, which were an enigma to ordinary people but were no secret to political leaders like him.
“Those families submitted to us long ago. Everything they have was granted by my ancestors, and their mission is to serve the Fang Family.”
“Cough, cough, cough!” Even though he was prepared mentally, the Chief was still quite shocked. As a national leader, he knew very well what those families represented. Their combined power could upend the world.
“Your family background is hard for me to digest,” the Chief shook his head with a bitter smile. Perhaps he was the only one outside the Fang Family who knew this secret.
“Your parents…” The Chief had secretly investigated Fang Jueyu’s background, but found no traces of relatives or family, as if Fang Jueyu was the only one in the world.
“Chief, you might not believe this,” Fang Jueyu said awkwardly, “I said they left Earth and headed for the universe, would you believe it?”
Chief: “@#￥##@#@￥@…”
“Forget it, your strange family already surpasses my scope of understanding. Even if more bizarre, I won’t bother as long as you keep things in check and don’t stir up chaos.”
The Chief advised earnestly, “Try to be a bit more low-key in your actions. Your stories are just too astonishing. Without some knowledge of your family, I’d think you were an alien.”
Fang Jueyu laughed bitterly, “Chief, I want to keep a low profile, but… but my strength doesn’t allow it!”
