Chapter 652 Two Fathers (Part 2)
Xie Lingyun finally received the attention from the entire Xie family as she wished.
But in this situation, she not only did not feel satisfied and happy, but she felt uneasy and almost subconsciously took a step back.
Xie Chujun withdrew his gaze after a glance and smiled gently: "Let me introduce someone to you first."
He said, raising his footsteps and walking towards the edge of the crowd.
The crowd spontaneously retreated to both sides, leaving a wide path for Xie Chujun. When Xie Chujun finally stopped, the space along the way was empty.
Everyone saw the scene clearly.
Xie Chujun stopped about three steps away from an old man. He straightened his already neat clothes and made sure there was nothing wrong before looking straight at the old man.
The usual gentle smile on his face was gone, and Xie Chujun's expression was unusually solemn and serious.
He looked directly at the old man in front of him, raised his hands, folded them flat on his chest, and slowly bent down.
Bow to the end.
As the young master of the Xie family, it goes without saying how precious Xie Chujun's identity is. Over the years, even when facing the patriarchs of other major families, he only bowed slightly in greeting.
No one could remember the last time they had performed such a solemn ceremony.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other in surprise and suspicion at the old man in front of Xie Chujun, and began to guess his identity.
Various sounds came into his ears, and Xie Bowen's heart shuddered, and he finally came back to his senses.
He was terrified and nervous. Without thinking, he stepped forward to help Xie Chujun up, shaking his head repeatedly and saying, "Young Master, no, no, Bowen can't bear it!"
Xie Chujun insisted on completing the ceremony, then looked up at Xie Bowen and said seriously, "You can bear it. No one can bear it more than you."
His gaze fell on Xie Xihe, tears welling up in his eyes. He said in a hoarse voice, "Entrusting Xi'er to you was the best decision I ever made. You've raised her very well."
"Your devotion and love for her are so great that even I, her biological father, would be ashamed of myself."
"Thank you."
Xie Bowen choked up in his throat and shook his head, saying, "This is what I should do. Xiaoxi deserves it."
Their eyes met, and everything was said without words.
In the silence, Xie Chujun withdrew his gaze, smiled at the many tribesmen, and continued the previous topic: "Let me introduce them to everyone."
"This Xie Bowen, from the 6721395th branch of the Xie family, is also my Xier's adoptive father. Although he is an adoptive father, he is better than a biological father. His dedication and care for Xier far surpass that of my biological father."
"Although I recognize Xi'er now, he is still Xi'er's father and my brother, Xie Chujun, no matter now or in the future."
"Today, in front of all my uncles and brothers, I officially announce that the 6th, 7th, 2nd, 1st, 3rd, and 9th branches will be incorporated into the main Xie family, becoming the sixth branch of the main family. Xie Bowen will be the head of the sixth branch, and his status will be equal to that of a Xie clan elder!"
Xie Chujun announced loudly, his eyes sweeping over everyone present. A smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Does anyone have any objections to this decision of this young master?"
How can there be no objection?!
This is the elder of the family!
For such a big thing, he didn't even bother to inform the elders beforehand, and he just announced the decision straight away. Surely no one would object?!
The elder of the Xie clan opened his mouth, with countless reasons for rebuttal on his lips, but when he looked up, he saw Xie Xihe who had appeared beside Xie Bowen at some point.
Xie Xihe said calmly, "What about the main family's side branch, the position of clan elder, they are just empty titles. My father has never taken them seriously. Father, there is no need to embarrass everyone because of these things."
Xie Bowen couldn't help but look at his daughter, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Although, my girl, he is not that noble and really cares about these false reputations.
Because their lineage had branched out too many times and had not made any significant achievements, it was separated more than a hundred years ago and was even forced to leave the ancient martial arts world.
This incident is the greatest regret and pain for their lineage.
As recently as his father and grandfather, and counting back four or five generations, the greatest wish of every ancestor of the six, seven, two, one, three, nine, and five branches was to return to the Xie family one day.
And now, this wish has actually come true in him. How can he not be excited and proud?
The sixth branch of the main family, the elder of the Xie clan, with such an honor, he can finally face his deceased ancestors with dignity!
Xie Bowen sighed in his heart, but looking at his daughter who was so calm, he did not refute her words. Instead, he cooperated with her with an indifferent look and nodded with a smile.
Patriarch Xie also breathed a sigh of relief.
In his heart, he thought that what Xie Chujun said was right. This young lady was indeed well-raised, well-educated, and considerate. She was much easier to talk to than Xie Chujun, the big-tailed wolf with a black center.
Just as he was about to thank Xie Xihe for her understanding, he saw her tilt her head to look at Xie Bowen and continue, "The Xie family has its own rules. We can't force them. But if Dad wants to take the 6721395 branch back to the ancient martial arts world, that's easy."
"I'll have someone find a good feng shui location in the ancient martial arts world. I'll build another Xie clan for you, starting with you. You'll be the patriarch of this small Xie clan. In the future, if Xiaoyi has more children, and they have more children, I believe it will grow and prosper within a hundred years."
Xie Bowen: “???”
Xie Yi, who was suddenly cueed: "!!!"
All the Xie clan members: "..."
Xie Chujun was stunned for a moment, then almost burst out laughing. He nodded in agreement and said, "That's a good idea. It won't embarrass the Xie family elders, and it will also show your filial piety. How about this? Leave the matter of finding a place to me. It's my thank you gift to Brother Bowen."
All the Xie clan members once again: "..."
Patriarch Xie decided to retract his previous idea.
What about being well-educated and considerate? This girl is simply a carbon copy of Xie Chujun, and she is just as evil as before!
Still Xiao Xie?
Still growing and developing?
Why didn't she just let Xie Bowen's branch swallow up their Xie family?!
The elder of the Xie clan was so angry that he almost had a heart attack, but he had to swallow his anger and force a smile, saying, "Miss, what are you talking about? You can't write two characters for Xie with one stroke. We are all members of the Xie clan. How can we abandon the main family and establish our own clan?"
"We all feel and understand the young lady's filial piety, but establishing a new clan is not an easy task. Why should the young lady go to such lengths? In my opinion, the young master's decision is excellent. Why not follow his wishes?"
