Chapter 1

The river was flowing, its surface shimmering. A man dressed in ordinary clothes, with slightly tousled hair that seemed a bit out of place, stood by the riverbank gazing at the ceaseless flow of water. His eyes held a depth of experience that belied his youthful age, perhaps twenty-five or six.

Next to me, there was a woman with a beautiful face and bright eyes. She was very attractive, but her expression was unpleasant.

"Go back! You used to know how to speak, now you're dumb, aren't you?" The young man said angrily.

This guy has been sitting here for three days, what does he want? Does he want to die?

Yang Tian raised his head slightly amidst the unpleasant sounds, glancing at them with indifference, his eyes calm and unruffled.

"What are you looking at? If you really want to die, just jump down. It's better than being humiliated here." He said in a truly vicious manner!

Yang Tian glanced up at him without a word, then lowered his head again, as still and serene as an old monk in meditation.

Yang Tian is the adopted son-in-law of the Xiao family. The girl in front of him is his niece, and she clearly despises him to the extreme. She's here not because she cares about him, but because she doesn't want him to die here and bring shame upon the Xiao family.

<< In the past, if Yang Tian had been reprimanded like this, he would have probably meekly agreed, lowered his head and gone home. The phrase "a son-in-law is worse than a dog" was not just talk, especially for someone as useless as Yang Tian. >>

The reason I'm sitting here is all because of a dream, a very bizarre dream, that happened three days ago. It was so strange that Yang Tian still doesn't dare to believe it to this day.

I dreamed I was transported back 5,000 years to the age of hunting and gathering. Yang Tian struggled to survive in that harsh time.

He had witnessed the battle between the Emperor and Chi You, personally saw Shennong taste a hundred herbs, witnessed Yu the Great's control of the floodwaters, witnessed the changing of dynasties, discussed with Hua Tuo and Bian Que, guided Sun Simiao, Zhang Zhongjing... In the long history, he was like a passerby, yet not a passerby.

Until modern times, the cultivation war between the Six Heavenly Lords lasted for five thousand years. One dream returned, and time had returned to its origin.

I can't believe it, yet everything is real. A magical journey through time, a magical return. Is it joy or longing? The jumbled memories in my mind make Yang Tian feel like he's aged suddenly.

"Don't you think that just staying silent is enough?" The grating voice pierced through the air once more.

The high heels tapped to the rhythm as they walked up to Yang Tian. One ear, suddenly waved towards Yang Tian. Yang Tian didn't even raise his head, with one hand, he reached out and grasped Xiao Yiqing's hand. It was just an unconscious reflex, but suddenly realizing that the person in front of him was... Yang Tian retracted most of his strength, but it still made Xiao Yiqing's eyes turn red. "Yang Tian, you dare to fight back." Xiao Yiqing covered her wrist, with tears in her eyes, said extremely aggrieved!

Yang Tian gave a faint glance at the person in front of him, shrugged his shoulders and remained silent. His cousin-in-law had been disgusted with him for days now; in the end, it was just that he wasn't good enough.

Mother-in-law dislikes him, father-in-law looks down on him, little sister-in-law despises him, relatives and friends point fingers at him. For Yang Tian, this has already become commonplace.

But starting today, everything will be different. That face has always been the deepest love in his heart. He stayed because no matter how much he suffered, he didn't want to leave.

Five thousand years of ups and downs, in the end, he couldn't figure out a single word. Not only him, but many heroes and emperors were like this, "In the end, it's just a sister." Yang Tian finally spoke, his voice was calm, yet there was an unspeakable pride in it.

Looking at those calm eyes, Xiao Yiqin realized that this so-called brother-in-law seemed different from before, but she couldn't tell how.

"Today is the day for a family gathering, my sister wants you to go back," Xiao Yiqing said to Yang Tian. After speaking, she turned and left, unwilling to interact with Yang Tian any further at this moment.
