As a confidant of the family head, An Ran knew a little about some matters: This incident exposed a significant loophole in the An Family. If luck permits and this loophole can be filled, it would merely be a minor oversight, just a small matter to be ridiculed.
But if it can't be filled, not only will all anticipated benefits be lost, but it might also lead to a loss of the family's Fate.
And Fate is the very foundation of the An Family's survival, while the ancestors who can directly connect to the Heavenly Court are the basis for the existence of a noble clan.
Without their existence, merely relying on a sorcerer, it wouldn't be a noble clan, but rather like the Bai Family, relying solely on one person's strength to survive. Such a family could never exist for tens of thousands of years.
When the person dies, it's like a lamp going out; even if he ascends to the Heavenly Court, it has nothing to do with the mortal realm.
