【Chapter 155】Unexpected Recognition of Ancestors
"The robes for you two were specially made by a master refiner. If you want an identical one, I can ask the master refiner to make another one for you someday."
Elder Ye Er's complexion has returned to normal.
The third elder on the side was reaching out his hand towards Nangong Chenyu, wanting Nangong Chenyu to take out the robe he had put away and have a look. But before he could utter a word, he heard what Elder Ye Er said.
He lowered his raised hand thoughtfully without saying a word.
At this time, the fourth, sixth, and seventh elders came over from the crowd, and the seventh elder asked, "What happened?"
Before Second Ancestor Ye could speak, Ye Yisheng said, "The robes that Second Ancestor specially prepared for me and A Yu were torn by the white cat, so we both wore our own robes. But Second Ancestor seemed a little unhappy."
“Do I need to wear specific vestments when opening a shrine?”
As he spoke, he looked at the crowd, or to be more precise, at the clothes they were wearing. Although the clothes worn by the twenty or thirty people present were of different styles, they were all the same white color.
Only he and Nangong Chenyu were wearing light blue clothes.
And his words made everyone present change their expressions.
Originally, everyone thought that Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng didn’t know the rules of the Ye family, so they didn’t wear white clothes. As the saying goes, ignorance is not blame, so naturally no one blamed the two of them. No one thought of saying it in front of everyone and embarrassing the two of them.
But no one expected that the person who asked the two to wear light blue robes was Patriarch Ye Er.
Everyone turned their eyes to Patriarch Ye Er.
The outspoken Sixth Elder immediately asked, "Why did the Second Ancestor let Young Master Nangong and Yisheng wear blue robes?"
Elder Ye Er was not at all flustered, and greeted everyone's gaze generously: "The robes I gave to Yisheng and Nangong, as long as they recognize the master, they can choose from three colors: white, light blue, and light green."
He was inspired by what Ye Yisheng had just said.
Wear white when entering the ancestral hall to show respect to the deceased souls of the Ye family.
In fact, the robes he gave to the two people did not have any color options, but they could be changed into other shapes.
He was not worried that Nangong Chenyu would produce the proof. On the contrary, he hoped that Nangong Chenyu could take out the robe. This way he could destroy the vestment as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, Nangong Chenyu will not do as he wishes.
With a thought, the robes Nangong Chenyu was wearing changed from light blue to white.
"I said that opening an ancestral hall is a serious matter. Especially for a big family like your Ye family, there should be many taboos when opening an ancestral hall."
The subtext of this statement is that Elder Ye Er deliberately did not tell them the rules for opening the ancestral hall.
We are not fools, so we can naturally hear the hidden meaning in his words.
Elder Ye Er responded calmly: "In the competition three months ago, Yisheng won first place for the family. He is a hero of the family." He smiled at Nangong Chenyu and said: "All family rules can be relaxed for you."
Nangong Chenyu: Good fellow, this is saying that Ye Yishen is relying on his merits to act recklessly. Just one sentence made many people look at Ye Yisheng with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Ye Yisheng first changed the robes he was wearing to white, and then said righteously: "As a member of the Ye family, it is my responsibility to win first place for the family. There is no order without rules, how can I rely on my achievements to disobey the family rules?"
After saying these righteous words, he changed the subject: "I personally think that those who have made contributions to the family should be rewarded according to their merits. There is no need to break the family rules."
The second ancestor Ye, who had been cheated out of more than one million low-grade spirit stones, knew that Ye Yishen was asking the family for spirit stones.
However, the others were unaware of the inside story and nodded in agreement with Ye Yishen's proposal.
Nangong Chenyu took the opportunity to say, "Since we are going to reward people based on their merits, what reward will the family give Yisheng for winning first place for the Patriarch?"
Ah... this...
Everyone looked at each other, and finally turned their gaze to the Second Ancestor Ye. After all, the Ye family was now managed by the Second Ancestor Ye.
Only a few direct elders began to discuss among themselves.
The Third Elder: "He should be rewarded."
The fourth elder nodded in agreement: "I agree. You know, in just these three months, the income of my Ye family has increased several times compared to before."
The Sixth Elder suggested: "Why not open the treasure pavilion and let Yisheng choose three things."
The Seventh Elder had no objection: "I think it's okay."
"We should ask Yisheng for his opinion. What if he likes spirit stones more?" The Fourth Elder knew that the two men had cheated the Second Ancestor of his spirit stones.
Patriarch Ye Er winked at someone in the crowd.
The man immediately said, "Second Ancestor, the auspicious time has arrived."
Several elders stopped discussing.
Elder Ye Er said, "After the elders have discussed the matter of rewarding Yisheng, tell me tomorrow. Let's open the ancestral hall now."
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen looked at each other, both feeling a little regretful. Rather than opening the ancestral hall and recording the family tree, they would rather go to the treasure pavilion to take a look.
The fourth elder stepped forward and opened the door of the ancestral hall.
The Ye family's ancestral hall is spacious and bright, without any gloomy feeling. There is an incense table in the middle, and behind it are rows of spirit tablets.
Everyone in the Ye family entered the ancestral hall one by one to burn incense for the ancestors of the Ye family.
Ye Yishen's name had not yet been written into the family tree, so he and Nangong Chenyu did not go in immediately.
After everyone finished offering incense, Elder Ye II waved to the two people outside the door: "Yisheng, Nangong, you can come in."
The two walked into the ancestral hall side by side.
After the two stood in front of the incense table, the second ancestor Ye said: "The disciples of the Ye family respectfully report to the ancestors. The purpose of opening the ancestral hall today is for Ye Yisheng, a direct descendant of the Ye family, to recognize his ancestry and be included in the family tree."
"Ye Yisheng will now burn incense for all the ancestors."
After saying that, Patriarch Ye Er gestured to one of them.
The man quickly took out three incense sticks and handed them to Ye Yisheng.
After Ye Yishen took the incense and lit it, he was about to kneel down when suddenly one of the tablets fell over with a "bang".
Everyone's eyes focused, they looked at the fallen tablet, and then looked at Elder Ye Er.
Patriarch Ye Er didn't expect that when things were about to be done, such a sudden change would happen at the last minute. He has the highest level of cultivation here now. If anyone is going to do something wrong, that person can only be him.
That's why everyone watches him.
He stepped forward respectfully and straightened the tablet.
"It was just an accident."
Ye Yishen had just knelt on a cushion when he heard the sound of "click, click, click..." In the blink of an eye, all the tablets fell over.
Everyone was a little dumbfounded.
If the tablet that just fell down was an accident, then all the tablets that are now falling down can't be explained by an accident, right?
Patriarch Ye Er looked around the ancestral hall with a serious expression. In his opinion, there must be someone in secret who has a higher cultivation level than him. The other party was able to knock down all the tablets silently without him even noticing, so he was obviously an expert.
"This is the ancestral hall of our Ye family. Please leave, senior."
The other members of the Ye family didn't even dare to breathe. Anyone who could be called a senior by the second ancestor Ye must have reached the Nascent Soul stage at least. No wonder no one of them noticed.
Ye Yishen stood up and gave Nangong Chenyu a look that asked, "What's going on?"
Nangong Chenyu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. In fact, he had some vague guesses in his mind, but it was not appropriate to say them here.
A minute passed quickly and there was no response from the silent ancestral hall.
Someone whispered, "Second Ancestor."
Patriarch Ye Er raised his hand and signaled the other party to keep quiet.
Another five minutes passed, and still no one came out of the darkness. Now Elder Ye Er was not sure whether there was anyone in secret.
"Come and have a few people help lift up the tablet."
To show respect, the people who went to support the tablet did not use Reiki.
After all the tablets were placed in the right position, the second ancestor Ye looked at Ye Yisheng again and said, "Yisheng, continue to worship your ancestors."
Ye Yishen bent his legs and knelt down again.
The next moment, the sound of "click, click, click..." was heard again in the quiet ancestral hall, and all the tablets fell down again.
Everyone could clearly feel that there was no spiritual fluctuation in the ancestral hall, and it was so quiet that there was not even a trace of wind. It is true that there was someone in secret just now, but now many people have already seen that it was Ye Yishen who knelt down and the tablet fell over.
Without waiting for Elder Ye Er to speak, the Fourth Elder stepped forward and picked up the nearest tablet and placed it in place. As soon as he turned around, the tablet fell down again with a "click".
Seeing this, he immediately said to Ye Yisheng: "Yisheng, you get up first."
Ye Yishen stood up obediently.
The fourth elder went to pick up the tablet that had just fallen over. After that, he and the others stared at the tablet for a long time, but the tablet did not fall over again.
Now, everyone looked at Ye Yisheng with extremely complicated eyes.
Nangong Chenyu said dimly: "It seems that the ancestors of the Ye family do not accept Ye Yisheng as a direct descendant."
Ancestor of the Ye family: A huge pot is falling towards us, and the coffin lid can’t hold it down.
"It's me who has no destiny with the Ye family."
Ye Yisheng pretended to be very sad, but he was actually relieved in his heart.
He didn't want to return to his ancestral home in the first place. Originally, they wanted Baihu to appear and sabotage when the second ancestor Ye wrote his name in the family tree. Now, things seem to be going as planned without Baihu's intervention.
"Is it possible that the ancestors could not bear Yisheng's kneeling?" The fourth elder gave another answer. He naturally hoped that Ye Yisheng could return to his ancestral home.
Compared with Nangong Chenyu's statement, the Fourth Elder's statement seems to be more accurate. Because the Ye family has more than one ancestor, it is impossible that every ancestor would not accept Ye Yisheng.
The Ye family has a younger generation with good qualifications like Ye Yishen. The ancestors should be very happy and willing to accept him. After all, it is outrageous that there would be an old ancestor like Ye Er, who dislikes the direct descendants of his own clan and likes a counterfeit.
Nangong Chenyu said, "Fourth Elder, you are joking. Yisheng has the blood of the Ye family, so the ancestors of the Ye family can certainly bear his kneeling."
Everyone felt that what Nangong Chenyu said made sense, but something seemed to be wrong.
However, the Fourth Elder looked at Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen meaningfully and said nothing more.
At this moment, whether the ancestors could not bear Ye Yisheng’s kneeling or did not accept Ye Yisheng, the following matters could not proceed.
Patriarch Ye Er looked at Ye Yisheng with flickering eyes. If he cannot record Ye Yishen's name in the Ye family tree, then his plan today will be in vain.
