"Let's go." Xue Kong said lightly and walked out of the yard first.
Honglian followed behind, and although she despised Xue Kong in her heart, she did not dare to be too presumptuous.
Xue Kong is a member of the Xue family after all. Although for some unknown reason, he fell from a status like the moon in the center of the crowd to the point where no one cares about him, but no matter what, it is not someone that a small outsider like her can ride on his head.
In his previous life, Xue Kong was so self-deprecating and discouraged that he lost his temper due to the oppression of his clansmen. That was why he did not care about Honglian's excessive behavior of not distinguishing between high and low, and indulged her to this extent.
Now, Xue Kong takes everything lightly and is even more unwilling to waste his emotions on such trivial matters.
"Today in my previous life was the day my destiny changed. This time, I can't attend the Dharma Assembly no matter what." Xue Kong knew what was going to happen and had already made up his mind to change everything.
The clan meeting is the most important day for the Xue family. No matter whether they are men or women, old or young, as long as they are members of the Xue family, they must attend unless they are unable to take care of themselves.
When Xue Kong and Honglian were walking on the road, they were suddenly stopped by three people.
"Xue Kong, there is no need for you to attend this clan gathering. You have nothing and mediocre talent. Why bother to embarrass yourself at the clan gathering?" A young man in a brocade robe with eyes as big as copper bells held his head high and chest puffed out, laughing.
"My father told me that the purpose of this grand clan meeting is to select clan members with the aptitude to cultivate immortality. At the Immortal Lady's Dharma Assembly in two days, they will hopefully gain the favor of the Immortal Lady and become disciples of the Three Immortal Sect."
"Xue Kong, you are mediocre and have no talent for cultivating immortals. Why bother going there?" Not only the young man in brocade robe, but the other two members of the Xue family also pretended to give good advice, as if it was really for Xue Kong's own good.
Honglian, who was standing by, did not come forward to defend Xue Kong. She stood aside and even felt a little happy when she saw Xue Kong being ridiculed.
She was the daughter of the steward of the Xue family. Although her status was not very high, it was still very different from that of a maid. However, she could not accept that her father actually asked her to be Xue Kong's personal maid.
This happened for fifteen years, and she remembered it clearly in her heart. She vented her resentment on Xue Kong and could not stand him at all.
"Xue Yang, the clan meeting is about to begin, let's go."
What the three people and Honglian did not expect was that in the face of their ridicule, Xue Kong was not angry at all, but instead calmly invited them to join him.
The three young and energetic people were stunned and stood there, looking at Xue Kong and Honglian passing by them, at a loss.
"Is he... is he still the same Xue Kong who only knows how to compromise, feel inferior and cowardly?!"
"The sun rises from the west? When did his temper change?"
"Let's go. Since he's so ungrateful and won't listen to our advice, let's go and see if he can remain so calm and composed in public if it's announced that he doesn't have any immortal spiritual roots."
