Shen Yuan came to the ancestral hall and placed three sticks of incense on the spirit tablet enshrined inside.
The elders that the Shen Family could trace back to were from his great-grandfather's generation. Further back, the names were unknown, and naturally, there was no need for enshrinement.
Blue smoke curled upwards as Shen Yuan turned around; the guard responsible for protecting the ancestral hall immediately came forward and cupped his hands in salute.
"Elder Patriarch."
Shen Yuan nodded and spoke, "Go and summon the stewards of all the major clans."
"Also, send someone to invite Master Lu from the academy."
The guard was taken aback at first, then hastily cupped his hands and retreated.
The steward families of each village, upon hearing that the long-unseen Elder Patriarch of the Shen Family had gone to the ancestral hall today to summon them for a meeting, felt a chill in their hearts, knowing that something important must be happening!
