"It’s hard to find a family nowadays that has a lineage clearly recorded for hundreds of years."
His words were originally just a casual comment.
But who knew that Old Gu would become even more serious upon hearing it, putting down his bowl with a very solemn attitude.
"Just hundreds of years?"
Old Gu stared sternly at Gu Yi, "Our ancestors followed Han Guangwu to conquer the world!"
Huh?
Gu Yi was instantly stunned.
Followed Han Guangwu to conquer the world?
How come I’ve never heard about this before?
With Old Gu’s personality, he wouldn’t joke about something like this.
But as for our ancestors... how did I not know about this?
Gu Yi was a bit bewildered.
Old Gu seemed to notice Gu Yi’s puzzled expression, pride showing on his face as he continued:
"Our ancestor was originally a Captain."
"You know the Battle of Kunyang, right?"
"Just before the Battle of Kunyang, Han Guangwu Liu Xiu was rallying troops everywhere, and our ancestor decided to support Liu Xiu at that time."
"Back then, the Han Army had only tens of thousands, while the New Army claimed to have hundreds of thousands, even a million."
"It was during that time that our family began to rise."
Old Gu became prouder as he spoke.
Gu Yi looked at him in a daze, completely confused.
He knew that given Old Gu’s personality, he would not joke with him about this matter.
But if he’s not joking, why have I never heard Old Gu mention it before?
All these years, Old Gu couldn’t have hidden such a thing from me.
And why does this story feel so familiar?
Captain?
Before the Battle of Kunyang, after Han Guangwu rallied troops, decided to follow?
Gu Yi turned his head silently to look at his room, his heartbeat inexplicably speeding up.
"Dad, does our ancestor have any other stories?"
"What happened after the rise?"
He asked again.
"After so many years, much has been lost in history."
Old Gu sighed lightly, looking a bit wistful, "Some of these things are just rumors among us descendants."
"Do you know the records about the Battle of Kunyang in the Later Han Book mention a meteorite?"
"According to the rumors passed down in our family."
"That meteorite seemed to have some connection with our family....."
As he spoke the last part, Old Gu also showed a look of disbelief.
After all, this is a scientific society, and this rumor has been passed down in the family; he could only take it as ancient imaginings.
But to Gu Yi’s ears, these words were like a thunderstorm!
A meteorite connected to our family?
He once again turned back to look at his bedroom, his heart beating faster and faster.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Gu Yi immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks, ran back to his room, picked up the game console, and directly clicked on the family information on the screen.

"Gu Xiao?"
After confirming the name, Gu Yi walked back into the living room, staring intently at Old Gu and asked:
"Dad, do you still remember our ancestor’s name?"
"Didn’t I tell you before?"
Old Gu immediately looked at Gu Yi, frowning slightly, clearly displeased, "Forgetting the ancestor’s name?"
"I remember."
"Ancestor Gu’s name is Xiao."
"Our ancestor’s name is Gu Xiao!".....
