If there is a chance, I can have some in-depth communication with the Chen family and see if I can learn from them how they tame ferocious beasts.
But I don't think the Chen family would do it for no reason.
While Zhao Kuangyi was thinking, he quickly thought of something and his eyes lit up.
…
"how?"
In the family secret room, Zhao Kuangyi was looking through many letters on the bookshelf and asked at the same time.
Behind him was Zhao Qimeng who had just returned.
"To the clan leader, Chen Tianyu has finished his worship and left the ancestral hall. He is going to visit Yunmeng City with the other members of the Chen family."
Zhao Kuangyi stopped what he was doing and continued to ask:
"Did he behave in any unusual way in the ancestral hall?"
Zhao Qimeng shook his head:
"After I brought him into the ancestral hall, I kept an eye on him. After arriving at the ancestral hall, he only burned incense and worshipped for about half a cup of tea before leaving the ancestral hall. During that time, I did not notice any abnormal behavior from him."
Zhao Kuangyi frowned after hearing this:
"Why did the worship take so long?"
Recalling the scene just now, Zhao Qimeng scratched his head helplessly:
"He seemed to have paid homage to all the ancestors of my Zhao family, so it took some time."
Zhao Kuangyi was stunned when he heard this answer.
Could there really be a problem? After all, even he, the clan leader, would not normally worship for such a long time!
Zhao Kuangyi's brows were lost in thought, and he asked again:
"Did you notice anything wrong during this time?"
"No."
"Okay, elder Qimeng, I'd like to trouble you to pay more attention to the Chen family members in Yunmeng City in the next few days."
"Don't worry, Patriarch. I know."
After Zhao Qimeng left, Zhao Kuangyi still did not leave. A moment later, a figure quickly came into the secret room.
The man was dressed simply, and although he looked energetic, the white hair on his head revealed his age.
Zhao Kuangyi also bowed after seeing the visitor:
"Second uncle, have you found anything unusual?"
"No."
Zhao Kuangyi, who thought he would gain something, was stunned after hearing this. He couldn't help stroking his beard with his fingers and said in surprise:
"Is this really a long-standing traditional custom of the Chen family?"
"Uncle, I think it is definitely not normal for the Chen family to worship in the ancestral hall for such a long time."
I thought my inference would be recognized by the second uncle, but who knew that the old man snorted coldly:
"What's wrong with that? You know, in the past, the family spent even longer worshipping their ancestors. However, over time, there have been a number of unfilial descendants in the family. There is not even a single sincere outsider!"
After saying that, the old man waved his sleeves and left.
This scene also made Zhao Kuangyi smile bitterly, but even as the patriarch of the clan, he had nothing to say.
It's just because my second uncle has a peculiar temperament and always speaks his mind. When he sees something that doesn't go his way, he will speak out.
And looking at it this way, it seems that the clan members are indeed unfilial.
But if our own family is not filial, there is no reason why other families will be good?
At this time, Zhao Kuangyi thought of another possibility. The Chen family has a long history. Perhaps the totem of the family is the incense totem?
And this time, the Chen family members came to the ancestral hall to worship specifically in order to steal the incense from his Zhao family?
But then Zhao Kuangyi shook his head again.
Being able to make a name for themselves in Yunmeng City, the Zhao family is certainly not a third-rate family, and the family also has some knowledge of incense totems.
Putting aside whether there are any incense offerings left in the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall, the key point is that incense cannot be stolen. At least since ancient times, he has never heard of any family's incense being stolen.
If it's not stealing incense, then what is being stolen?
Zhao Kuangyi always felt that something was wrong, but after thinking for a long time, he could not find any flaws.
After a while, Zhao Kuangyi murmured to himself:
"Forget it. The family has not suffered any loss anyway. Besides, Second Uncle said it's fine, so there should be no problem. Maybe he is just being filial."
If I continue to be entangled in this, my second uncle will probably call me an unfilial descendant.
…
"Wow!"
"Elder, Yunmeng City is so big."
"But it seems to be different from what Brother Qingyu said at the beginning. They are wearing clothes."
Many tribesmen couldn't help but look at the passing prostitute with curious eyes, which made the woman glare at them angrily.
Chen Tianyu shook his head. The people in the family still didn’t have a broad enough vision.
But Chen Tianyu also had some regrets. Yunmeng City was indeed much more prosperous than the family’s current Yong’an City.
Although Yong'an City is called a city, it can only be regarded as a small county town.
However, Chen Tianyu was not discouraged. Although everything seemed to be flourishing, there were actually undercurrents.
Although the Zhao family won the competition among major families by virtue of its strength and occupied a place, it did not win completely. There are still many other forces in Yunmeng City.
Perhaps the future development direction of the family can gradually expand in this direction?
However, it is too early to think about this now. The family still needs more time. The Zhao family must have warriors in the Qi Control Realm, and there may be more than one.
This time, Chen Tianyu stayed in Yunmeng City not to wander around, but to take the opportunity to inquire about the current situation of Yunmeng City and see if he could find a shop to serve as the family base.
If the family wants to develop further, the news must not lag behind. Getting out of the mass grave mountain is not just about letting the family members take a step forward.
Only when the family takes a step forward can they truly walk out of the mass grave.
