Ancestor sacrifice?
Chen Bei frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.
As far as he knew, this was a grand ceremony spread among many thousand-year-old families in the Dragon Kingdom.
Ancestral sacrifices are performed according to the etiquette handed down from generation to generation, and each family has different rituals. They may be held every year, or once every few years or even decades.
These aristocratic families have multiplied for thousands of years and have countless branches.
If there were no strict restrictions on intermarriage, the entire family could number tens of thousands!
An important function of ancestral sacrifice is to give the many branches of the family a chance to recognize their ancestors and return to the clan.
Once you recognize your ancestor and return to the clan, it is equivalent to the blood flowing in the body and has been recognized by the family clan.
Not only can you have the opportunity to get in touch with the core interests of the family, but you can also inject secrets, inheritance, or various rare treasures passed down from generation to generation...
In addition, you can also get the protection of this sect.
In the future, your huge family will be your background.
Not to mention the many conveniences.
All in all, participating in the ancestral sacrifice is an important event that can transform and sublimate the side branch!
However, everything has a premise.
That means you are qualified to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan.
Otherwise, even if you go there with a shy face, you will be driven away ruthlessly.
This is the cruelty of our clan.
Survival of the fittest, otherwise it is extremely useful in nature and human society.
As far as Chen Bei knew, their family was the only one left in the branch where Bai Shuzheng was located.
As the leading calligrapher in Jiangcheng, Bai Shuzheng has a fair reputation. The wealth he has accumulated over the years is enough for his family to maintain a stable level of wealth in Jiangcheng.
But there is still a slight gap between the real upper class society.
The Bai family's main sect is one of the "Three Royal Families" in the province. It controls more than half of the province's forestry resources and is especially famous for its collection.
In the war-torn era a hundred years ago, the Bai family's sect accumulated many rare treasures with their treasure-appraisal skills.
Even the original works that cannot be included in the Imperial Capital Museum can be found in the "ancient temple" of the Bai family!
Regardless of the various branches, the assets of the Bai family can reach hundreds of billions in wealth when converted into wealth!
This is not a small number.
It has reached the same level as the Beiyun Group on the surface.
Therefore, the Bai Shuzheng family, whose assets amount to only tens of millions, may not be enough in front of our sect.
There is little hope of recognizing our ancestors and returning to our clan...
On weekdays, these guys named Bai don't look good on me.
Especially Bai Yuebo, a young boy, always tried to do the right thing for himself.
If it weren't for the fact that he is Xue Hairou's own flesh and blood...
However, Chen Bei was really not happy about having to take action in such a matter.
Anyway, as long as the godmother is alive for one day, she can use her own methods to ensure that the Bai family can live a life without worries.
Why bother to go to the sect and get into trouble?
but……
Chen Bei suddenly changed his mind.
The power of the Bai family's sect is spread throughout the province and has been rooted for thousands of years.
On the contrary, although he is powerful now, ten years ago he was just an ordinary person with no name.
Moreover, [Reincarnation] has not yet established a firm foothold in the Dragon Kingdom, and in the political and business circles, there is a need for a talker on the stage.
Otherwise, money and force alone will not be able to completely win over people's hearts.
On the other hand, the Lin family in the imperial capital was almost able to wreak havoc in the Dragon Kingdom, with few opponents.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. The power of [Reincarnation] cannot fully exert its influence in the Dragon Kingdom.
Therefore, if this trip can bring the Bai family under his control, Chen Bei will have a firm foothold in the province, with a fulcrum to advance, attack, retreat and defend!
Furthermore, the murder case involving my mother ten years ago stirred up trouble in the city.
The Bai family's main sect must have heard about it, and may even have intervened.
From their mouths, we might be able to get some clues about our mother’s whereabouts!
"Hello? Hello! Why don't you go and say something?"
Bai Susu greeted impatiently.
"go."
Chen Bei replied with one word and closed the door.
Bai Susu, who looked confused, reacted after a few seconds and stamped his feet angrily.
"This self-righteous bastard!"
One day later, at dawn on the third day, Bai Shuzheng and his family set off early.
The Bai family's sect is located in the suburbs of the provincial capital, in a vast forest.
The five people took a car and traveled all the way from the provincial highway for more than several hours.
Finally, the journey ended in front of a luxurious guild hall on the outskirts of the provincial capital Lanzhou.
However, this is not the end.
Passing through the clubhouse, there is an extremely open helipad hidden inside!
Several helicopters rose and landed here, constantly carrying people to the mysterious foothills.
Bai Shuzheng, wearing a tailored suit, led several people to the registration office.
"Seal."
the host demanded with an indifferent expression.
"Here, please take a look."
Facing a mere receptionist, Bai Shuzheng tried his best to apologize.
It can be seen that the status gap between the main sect and the side branches is huge.
Even if he is a low-ranking member of the sect, the person responsible for reception can steadily outperform Bai Shuzhengtou!
"These are my wife, my children, and..."
Bai Shuzheng paused.
"And my wife's godson."
"Um?"
Hearing this, the host raised his eyebrows dissatisfied.
"The ancestral teachings say that those who are not of my clan must not enter the clan's land at will."
"Why, after the family has been separated for hundreds of years, you have completely forgotten even these most basic rules?"
The receptionist slapped the seal hard on the table.
"In that case, why are you here to participate in the ancestral sacrifice?"
The sound was so loud that people nearby looked sideways!
"I'm sorry! It's my fault. I will correct it immediately!"
Bai Shuzheng was so frightened that he bowed and apologized repeatedly, his glasses shaking crookedly.
The next second, he turned around in embarrassment and pointed angrily at Chen Bei.
"I've already said it's not allowed, but you insist on taking it, okay?"
Bai Shuzheng said to Xue Hairou in a slightly reproachful tone.
"But, it's not the first time I've come in. I can do anything..."
"You are my partner, where is he?"
Bai Shu shouted with his head straight.
"What is the status of a godson? He is still your godson!"
"Allowing your partner to enter is already the bottom line of the ancestral precepts!"
After speaking, he glanced at Chen Bei and took out his wallet impatiently.
"Here, let's save some money in the provincial capital these days, just enough for food and accommodation."
Bai Shuzheng forced a wad of thin banknotes to Chen Bei.
Faced with this kind of charity, Chen Bei despised it from the bottom of his heart.
But in order not to make the matter a big deal, he reluctantly accepted it.
However, this time there was still trouble.
Since he couldn't follow the Bai family and his entourage, he had no choice but to find another way out.
With his own level, it is actually not difficult at all to sneak into this vast forest, evade countless surveys, and accurately find the location of the clan.
But he still wanted to go in openly, otherwise there would be no end to his lies.
Forget it, let's leave this kind of matter to Yan Ruyu.
She knows how to adapt better...
Just as Chen Bei was secretly planning, a delicate and boneless hand quietly took his arm!
"I hope you can be generous and let him in."
A clear voice came from beside me.
It was Bai Susu who was speaking for Chen Bei!
