A person's personality and way of doing things are always greatly influenced by their environment growing up.
The old Clan Leader of the Zhou Family, Zhou Minghan, took over when the family started to decline, so his character is very cautious and steady, prioritizing preserving the family legacy in everything.
Chen Family Ancestor Chen Yaohui was different. When he was at Foundation Establishment, the Chen Family was already a major family not much weaker than today's Zhou Family, yet they were also suppressed by the Purple Mansion Clan, the Zhang Family, which then occupied the Baisha River Oasis.
As a result, after reaching Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, he had to leave the family to travel with another Foundation Establishment cultivator from the family, creating the false impression that he had perished outside, thus reducing the Zhang Family's apprehension towards the Chen Family.
