"Hmm, that's a good idea."
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen and nodded.
"Oh, then aren't you afraid that you'll kick me out and I'll never return to the Xiao family again?"
Xiao Chen sneered.
"Don't be afraid. Blood is thicker than water. No one can change that."
Xiao Yi shook his head.
“…”
Xiao Chen was speechless. Was he sure to be defeated?
In the ancestral hall, Nangong Ting was still kneeling and seemed to be muttering something.
"What is Patriarch Nangong mumbling about?"
Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"Inform the ancestors that Nangong Ling has returned to the Nangong family... There are many rules for acknowledging one's ancestry and returning to one's clan. I simplified them for you at the beginning."
Xiao Yi introduced.
"However, your situation is different from that of Ling girl. She never had the identity of the Nangong family, while you were kicked out... When you were kicked out, your ancestors were not informed, so you were not really kicked out of the Xiao family."
"Why, what you mean... it's not enough for the living to know that I was kicked out, but the dead have to know it too?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows.
"What dead people? They are our ancestors!"
Xiao Yi stared.
"Our ancestors are dead too. Aren't the dead dead?"
Xiao Chen asked back.
"They... can't say that even if they're dead!"
Xiao Yi’s eyes widened even more.
"Go, go, go, ancestors..."
Xiao Chen nodded. There were not many living people in the Xiao family that he cared about, let alone his ancestors.
However, he couldn't say anything in front of the older generation, and he still had to show due respect.
The older generation pays the most attention to this.
It took Nangong Ting five or six minutes before he stood up, while Nangong Bufan and others slowly walked in.
"Please give me the family tree..."
The current head of the family, Nangong Yuan, spoke slowly.
An elder stepped forward and pulled out the Nangong family's genealogy, which was densely packed with many names.
Afterwards, Nangong Ling, accompanied by Ning Kejun, Ye Ziyi and others, also came to the ancestral hall.
In this kind of ancient family, women are actually not included in the family tree unless they have a different identity or status.
However, some rules have changed over the years.
What's more, Nangong Ling is not ordinary. Not to mention that she is with Xiao Chen, just herself... at such a young age, she has entered the realm of Hua Jin and is already a genius!
Based on this alone, she is qualified to leave a mark in the family tree.
"Ling'er..."
Nangong Bufan looked at Nangong Ling and smiled with satisfaction.
He has always wanted Nangong Ling to return to his ancestral home, but there has never been a suitable opportunity.
And now, she is finally back.
“Master…”
Nangong Ling spoke softly.
"Haha, now that you have acknowledged your ancestors, you can no longer call me Master."
Nangong Bufan smiled.
"grandfather……"
Nangong Ling hesitated for a moment, but still shouted.
"Why……"
When Nangong Bufan heard Nangong Ling's name, his eyes turned red.
Finally changed his tune.
Scenes emerged in his mind. Nangong Ling had been by his side since childhood. It could be said that he watched her grow up.
Just based on this point, the relationship between the two is extremely deep.
The little girl back then has grown into a graceful young lady, and now she has returned to her roots and restored her original identity...
In Nangong Bufan's view, this is a kind of perfection.
Nangong Ling's eyes also turned red. When she was a child, she didn't know her own life experience.
I found out about it by chance when I was a teenager.
In fact, she didn't have too many expectations about returning to her roots. In her opinion, it was not important whether she returned to the Nangong family or not.
As long as she can be with Nangong Bufan, that's enough.
"Go and pay your respects."
Nangong Bufan said to Nangong Ling.
"good."
Nangong Ling nodded, walked slowly forward, lit incense, and then knelt down on the cushion.
The people of the Nangong family looked at Nangong Ling with smiles on their faces.
They had known Nangong Ling's identity for a long time and had been looking forward to this day.
In this respect, Xiao Chen and Nangong Ling are also different.
There was no obstacle to her return.
And Xiao Chen... many people at that time wanted to kill him.
After paying homage to their ancestors, everyone left the ancestral hall and came to the main hall next to it.
The family tree that had just been brought out was now hung in the main hall.
"Thank you all for coming..."
As the innate ancestor of the Nangong family, Nangong Ting couldn't help but say a few words on this occasion.
After he finished speaking, the ceremony continued.
Everything that happened in the ancestral hall just now was just one of the things that was reported to our ancestors.
People like Nangong Ting, Nangong Bufan, Nangong Liang, Nangong Yuan and others sat on the chairs.
Nangong Ling stepped forward and served them tea in turn.
"Why do I feel like I'm having a wedding?"
Xiao Chen looked strange.
"If you come up again and offer tea together, that's it."
Xiao Yi smiled.
"After you guys serve tea, they'll bring out a red envelope..."
“…”
Xiao Chen was speechless. Don’t say it, it’s really like that.
"Father……"
Nangong Ling looked at Nangong Yuan and said softly.
"Well... Ling'er, I'm sorry for putting you through so much trouble these years."
Although Nangong Ling had called him that before, Nangong Yuan was quite moved when he heard it today.
Nangong Ling shook her head, but she didn't feel wronged.
From childhood to adulthood, whenever she came to the Nangong family, everyone here was very nice to her.
All she lacked was an identity.
Afterwards, there was another series of rituals... Xiao Chen found it quite troublesome anyway.
"Old Xiao, luckily you simplified it for me, otherwise I would have been able to escape..."
Xiao Chen said to Xiao Yi.
"Haha, I know you are a trouble-maker."
Xiao Yi smiled.
"From now on, when Ling travels around the world, she will be known as the eldest daughter of the Nangong family."
"What's so great about this identity... Isn't it even more impressive to be the 'Longmen Sect Master's Wife'?"
Xiao Chen curled his lips and whispered.
“…”
Xiao Yi was speechless, but when he thought about it again, it seemed to be true.
The Nangong family's influence is obviously not comparable to that of Longmen.
The eldest daughter of the Nangong family and the wife of the leader of Longmen are even more worlds apart.
"Congratulations!"
"Nangong, congratulations, you have another genius."
As the ceremony ended, everyone bowed.
Isn't that why they came here?
"Haha, thank you very much..."
Nangong Ting and others responded with a smile.
"Kid, it's almost your turn."
Xiao Yi said to Xiao Chen.
"Da Han, when I tell you to bring the things up, you guys should bring them up, understand?"
Xiao Chen nodded and said to Li Hanhou and the others.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Bai Ye and others laughed.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded. In front of so many people, he felt a little nervous.
The situation this time is different from that at the Ye family.
At that time, the old Dragon King bullied the Ye family, and he had to step in.
"Old Third, why do you think I am so unhappy?"
Not far away, Ye Tianlong said to Ye Jing.
"I'm not upset with Ling girl. I like her too. She wields the sword really well."
"Haha, big brother, why don't we just do as I say and hold a new one."
Ye Jing smiled.
"Besides saying this, what else can you do?"
Ye Tianlong looked at Ye Jing with displeasure.
"You are so old, but still so weak! Didn't you hear what Xiao Chen said when he saw you? Third uncle, why haven't you made any progress... Do you think you can be ashamed? I am ashamed for you."
“…”
Ye Jing's face darkened. Why did they bring this up again?
"Okay, Tianlong, from now on, the Ye family and the Nangong family can be considered a family."
Ye Xing spoke slowly.
"yes."
Ye Tianlong became obedient.
“…”
Ye Jing looked at Ye Xing, then at Ye Tianlong. Why don't you just confront him? You bully the weak and fear the strong!
Afterwards, many people congratulated Nangong Ling and presented her with gifts.
Most of them are small gadgets, but these gadgets are also valuable.
There are quite a few cultivation resources among them, such as top-level elixirs and so on.
"Go ahead, take the initiative. It's not easy to take the initiative in the girl's family."
Seeing that it was almost done, Xiao Yi said to Xiao Chen.
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded and walked towards Nangong Ling.
As he moved, everyone at the scene looked over at once.
Everyone who comes here basically knows what is going on. The highlight comes after recognizing their ancestors.
The people of the Nangong family looked at Xiao Chen and smiled.
Is this the highlight moment of the Nangong family?
"Ling'er, congratulations on returning to the Nangong family."
Xiao Chen stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Um."
Nangong Ling nodded and smiled.
"How does it feel?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"fine……"
Nangong Ling was honest and said that it was indeed okay. She wasn't too excited or nervous.
The main thing is... this thing is almost like a wedding. I've made all the necessary mental preparations, so naturally I don't feel much.
This is not so bad. Some weddings even go through several rehearsals... To put it bluntly, it's just a formality and the guests should watch the performance.
In that case, they are just actors.
"Haha, now that you have returned to the Nangong family, it's time to talk about our affairs."
Xiao Chen smiled and looked at Nangong Bufan.
"Grandpa, huh?"
"Hahahaha...I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Nangong Bufan laughed.
"Xiao Chen, do you think this is a marriage proposal?"
Fatty Chen shouted.
"Haha, you're right."
Xiao Chen smiled and nodded, then held Nangong Ling's hand.
"This time, I brought my ancestor with me..."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Yi and the people from the Xiao family also walked forward.
"Brother Xiao... As for the children's affairs, since both parties are in love, then our Nangong family will naturally have no objection."
Nangong Ting smiled.
"Haha, the rules that should be followed... still need to be followed."
Xiao Yi smiled and looked at Xiao Chen.
"Xiaobai, Dahan..."
Xiao Chen naturally understood what it meant and turned around and shouted.
Next, it’s time to show off his wealth, no, it’s time to show his sincerity.
“Here I come.”
Bai Ye responded and walked up with Li Hanhou and the others, carrying the vermilion lacquered box.
Bang.
The vermilion lacquered box fell to the ground with a dull sound, which showed that it was quite heavy.
Everyone's attention was attracted by these vermilion lacquered boxes. They wondered what was inside.
I heard that the last time Xiao Chen was at the Ye family, he was very generous. I wonder what he will do today.
“Unboxing!”
Xiao Chen didn't waste any more words and said to Bai Ye.
