Chapter 330: Chapter 161: I Want to Be Transcendent! The Only Modern Great Grandmaster in 700 Years!_3

In response to Zhang Beixing’s confusion, Zhang Beixing’s father and grandfather didn’t hide anything, stating directly, ”We are waiting for the Head of the Household!”

”Head of the Household??”

Hearing these words, Zhang Beixing murmured in surprise.

Before he could ask again, he heard a series of hurried footsteps approaching from outside the door. Then, an old man and a middle-aged man walked in, one after the other.

”Head of the Household!”

Seeing the old man arrive, Grandfather Zhang stepped forward to greet him.

Hearing this, the old man nodded. His gaze then shifted past Grandfather Zhang to Zhang Beixing, who was seated on the sofa. A hint of appreciation flickered in his cloudy eyes as a thought occurred to him.

”Pingyang, you’ve truly raised a fine grandson. Why haven’t you ever brought him out before?” the elder asked, looking at Grandfather Zhang.

Hearing this, Grandfather Zhang smiled without responding. Instead, he looked at Zhang Beixing and beckoned, ”Beixing, come quickly. This is the Head of our Zhang family. Come and meet him.”

”Ah? Oh! Oh, right!”

Zhang Beixing acknowledged the call and hurried over, sizing up the elder. He realized that although he hadn’t interacted much with this elder, the man still looked rather familiar. He recalled that in his past life, after some of his older, higher-ranking relatives had passed away, it seemed this very elder had presided over their funerals.

So this person was the Head of their Zhang family! Zhang Beixing had a sudden realization.

As Zhang Beixing sized up the elder, the elder also scrutinized him. Looking at this handsome, distinguished young man before him and recalling the stir he had caused that day, a smile spread across the elder’s face, resembling a blooming chrysanthemum. ”Excellent, excellent. Truly worthy of being a descendant of the Zhang family. I read online that you’re now Great Xia’s youngest Grandmaster, is that right?”

”Uh... yes,” Zhang Beixing replied, somewhat baffled, not understanding why the man was asking this.

But soon, he understood. After receiving a definite answer, the old man gestured for the middle-aged man accompanying him to come forward. The man was holding a book.

Previously, the distance had made it unclear, but on closer inspection, he saw that the book bore several large characters: *Changshan Zhang Clan Genealogy*!

”?”

Zhang Beixing was slightly startled by this sight. He then saw the elder open the genealogy, find a blank page, and at the very top, with deliberate strokes, write Zhang Beixing’s name—in reverse!

”!!!”

”What is this?” Zhang Beixing looked at the elder, his voice tinged with uncertain surprise.

The elder smiled slightly and said, ”In recognition of your profound achievements, and for being Great Xia’s youngest Grandmaster, according to the rules of the Zhang family, we are now starting a new branch of the genealogy for you! In a while, we will have a copy of this section of the genealogy made and sent to your family. I hope you will continue to strive diligently and bring further honor to our name. When this old man eventually passes on, you will become the Head of the Zhang family.”

The elder spoke cheerily, clearly very satisfied with Zhang Beixing.

It was only upon hearing the elder’s words that Zhang Beixing snapped back to his senses. He felt utterly bewildered but quickly offered repeated thanks. He then chatted for a while with the elder and the assembled relatives.

As the conversation wound down, everyone gradually left.

Zhang Beixing then began to explain to his parents why he had to kill Black Ghost that day, and the reasons behind his fearless confidence in doing so. Once he had laid out all the reasons, making it clear to them that his actions were well-founded, carefully prepared, and executed without trepidation, the matter was finally considered closed.

After dealing with these matters, Zhang Beixing finally found some time to take out his phone and check his Douyin account. He discovered that following the recent events, his Douyin followers had surged past the one-million mark, reaching an astonishing 2.17 million!

In his private messages, numerous entertainment companies had contacted him, inquiring if he had any intention of signing with them. Advertisers also came flocking, waving money in his direction.

Zhang Beixing ignored the entertainment companies outright. As for the advertisers, after reviewing their proposals, he found that none of them met his requirements. As a vlogger who emphasized authenticity, his video content was primarily focused on realism and mostly related to martial arts training.

It was one thing to promote some energy drinks or sell clothes. But requests to promote Smurfs, stockings, and even from manufacturers of ’phantom dragons’? What on earth were they thinking?

Especially the ’phantom dragon’ one—they wanted to use him as a model for a cast! Is that something a sane person comes up with?

Looking over all the business collaboration requests, Zhang Beixing felt his head ache.

Adopting an ’out of sight, out of mind’ philosophy, he pushed these matters to the back of his thoughts and opened the comment section instead. He found that many people were asking what he planned to do next.

Zhang Beixing thought for a moment, then replied with utmost seriousness:

[The future is long, and I will continue to keep it real. I’ve taken everyone’s suggestions on board. Wait for me to come out of seclusion!]

This reply instantly piqued the curiosity of netizens. Zhang Beixing’s performance that day had already been incredibly strong, so the netizens were intrigued. The suggestions they had made this time were, one after another, even more outrageous than the last! And despite all that, Zhang Beixing actually said he had *incorporated* their suggestions?

”Holy smokes! All I can say is, holy smokes! Brother Dan, you can’t be serious, right? Did you even look at the suggestions we made before saying you’d adopt them? We’re talking about Crushing Rock Fist and Lightning Thousand Birds!”

”If you can actually pull off these suggestions, I’ll call it a legendary stunt!”

”Never mind calling it a legendary stunt! Brother Dan, if you can actually do it, I’ll wash my hair standing on my head, no problem! Because these things are completely impossible! They’re all fictional, after all!”
