Tan You wasn't a fool. "The 'Yuan' in his name means source, or origin."
In truth, Tan You still couldn't figure it out. 'If all these Golden Ring Snake Emperors are still alive, how were the ancestral memories even passed down? It's a massive plot hole.' In the end, she could only rationalize it with the idea that if something exists, it must be logical.
"Little Zhao," Jin Zhen's eyes crinkled in a wide grin. "You're so clever, and your guess isn't wrong. We just never expected the Crown to choose you in the end, especially since our eldest brother is still around."
Tan You wasn't the least bit flustered. "It's an honor to have been chosen."
"Of course. You certainly have your merits," Jin Jue conceded with a nod. "Your study of the Array Dao is excellent. We should discuss it more when we have time."
Tan You understood. 'This must be the ancestor whose Array Dao I studied so diligently back when I was just a little snake egg.'
