"Challenge me? That's quite courageous."
Tang Qingxi looked at Tang Hu with a smile, "I can accept the challenge, but I am too lazy to fight you today. Come back on the day when Tang Hao, Tang San and others recognize their ancestors and return to their clan."
She had to take this opportunity to show everyone in the Haotian Sect how great the losses were.
Tang Chen frowned and glanced at Tang Hu, but didn't say anything. Let these direct disciples of the Haotian Sect, who are somewhat closed-minded and not fully aware of the outside world, see what it means to have someone outside.
"Okay, I will challenge you that day!" Tang Hu agreed simply.
Soon Tang Qingxi and the others were assigned their own accommodation. Tang Qingxi was not interested in strolling around the Haotian Sect, so he just closed the door to rest.
There is not much to prepare for the ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan. Whether it is formal or not, and the scale depends more on the attitude of the Haotian Sect.
As far as Tang Chen's arrangement is concerned, the scale is indeed high enough.
It’s actually very quick if you prepare.
In the early morning of the next day, Tang Qingxi got up very early. When he walked out of the door, a moist mist blew in his face.
The top of the mountain is very humid and foggy in the early morning. With the eyesight of an ordinary person, I am afraid that I can only see about five meters in front of me.
Zhu Zhuqing next door also got up early. As soon as he went out, he saw Tang Qingxi standing in the yard: "Sister Xi!"
"Hey, I'm up too." Tang Qingxi said hello.
The air in the morning was humid and cold. Zhu Zhuqing had just come out and stood outside for a while, and his clothes were a little wet.
However, Tang Qingxi was not affected at all. After cultivating the Nine Yin Manual to this level, the Gang Qi was released, and the water vapor could not get to him at all.
Tang Qingxi was just about to go back to his room for a training session when there was a knock on the courtyard door.
"Tang Qingxi, are you up?" Tang Long's voice sounded outside the door.
"Get up." Tang Qingxi replied, and Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and opened the door.
Tang Long walked in carrying a large food box: "This is breakfast. After eating, you can go to the front yard to hold a ceremony to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan."
Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward to take the food box, entered the room and placed it on the table.
Tang Long did not, however, and asked hesitantly: "Tang Qingxi, do you really want to accept Tang Hu's challenge?"
"He is willing to humiliate himself. There is no need for me to save his face." Tang Qingxi replied casually.
Haotianzong's breakfast was very simple, a plate of steamed buns, two bowls of hot porridge, a few eggs and pickles, which was what she and Zhu Zhuqing had for breakfast.
However, neither of them had much appetite and didn't eat much.
Tang Long's expression was a little complicated. The Seventh Elder secretly arranged for someone to challenge Tang San, who recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan. Unexpectedly, Tang Hu went ahead and made an appointment with Tang Qingxi to fight.
The ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan is somewhat lively.
After eating breakfast, Tang Long took Tang Qingxi and the others to the front yard of Haotian Sect. On the way, he met Tang Hao and Tang San who were also led by Tang Hu to the front yard.
At this time, at least a hundred people gathered in the front yard of Haotian Sect.
Most people were gathered around, and in the center of the courtyard stood Tang Chen, accompanied by Tang Xiao and four other elders.
The Seventh Elder has been relieved of his duties as an elder, and stands a little further away, relying on his seniority to stand in the front position.
Before Tang Chen returned, the Haotian Sect probably had four generations. These elders were the first generation, and the second generation was Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's generation.
The three generations are Tang Long and Tang Hu. In terms of bloodline, Tang Qingxi is also among the three generations.
The fourth generation is the descendants of the third generation. Tang Long, Tang Hu and others are already thirty or forty years old, and many of them already have descendants.
However, after Tang Chen returned to the Haotian Sect, each generation would have to move forward one generation later. The original elders of the first generation were all a generation below Tang Chen.
Not far away, Tang Chen and the others had already set up the incense table.
The ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan is not complicated. It just goes through a process to announce that the two people have returned to the Haotian Sect. There may be some challenges in the middle, and then they go to pay homage to their ancestors.
Tang Qingxi still appeared in the formal attire of a saint from the Wuhun Palace. She was not from the Haotian Sect to begin with. As she came to participate in the ceremony today, as she said, she came as a distinguished guest of the Haotian Sect.
However, seeing her appear in Wuhundian clothes, there was still some commotion in the crowd.
"Quiet!" Tang Xiao immediately shouted in a deep voice.
They were also worried that these people would get excited and say something offensive to Tang Qingxi.
Grandfather Tang Chen was so powerful and treated Tang Qingxi extremely politely, so naturally these juniors below him could not offend him.
Tang Qingxi attracted some hatred, and fewer people paid attention to and were hostile to Tang Hao and Tang San.
When everyone arrived, Tang Chen took a look at the seventh elder first.
Although the Seventh Elder was somewhat resentful, he did not dare to disobey Tang Chen, so he stood up and said: "Before the ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan begins, I must announce something. Thirteen years ago, I was the one who wronged Tang Qingxi and his mother. , and mistakenly expelled the Haotian Sect bloodline from the sect. I am here today to clear Tang Qingxi and his mother's innocence, it was my mistake."
As he said that, the seventh elder bent down towards Tang Qingxi with a serious expression.
Tang Qingxi raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
The seventh elder could only grit his teeth and continue: "From now on, I am no longer an elder of the Haotian Sect, and I will kneel in the ancestral temple for seven days and meditate for a month to reflect on my mistakes!"
Hearing this, Tang Qingxi glanced at Tang Chen, and it seemed that he would be punished further.
Look at the face of the seventh elder, he is so disgusting.
This made Tang Qingxi feel a lot more comfortable, but the politeness made the seventh elder even more uncomfortable when he replied: "There is a lot that can be improved by knowing your mistakes."
As a junior saying this to an elder, it really made the seventh elder look even more aggrieved.
His face turned red and he cupped his hands towards Tang Chen. He didn't want to stay here at all and let many third and fourth generation disciples watch: "Then I will go to the ancestral hall and kneel down."
"Go." Tang Chen waved his hand coldly.
He added this punishment this morning. He heard that the Seventh Elder secretly arranged for someone to challenge Tang San there, and even planned to let the third generation chief Tang Long challenge Tang Qingxi.
That is to say, Tang Hu offended Tang Qingxi first yesterday, so there was no need for him to make arrangements.
Being so ungrateful, Tang Chen naturally didn't give him any face.
As an elder, with the strength of a titled Douluo, it was embarrassing enough to be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall.
Judging from Tang Qingxi's face, she was satisfied with her punishment.
Tang Chen knew in his heart that he had to show some attitude. At his level, he had been exposed to deeper things in this continent.
I also know the undercurrent surging in it, which is that I have to make a choice for the Haotian Sect.
Tang Qingxi's talents and abilities were too terrifying, so Tang Chen decisively chose to put his treasure on Tang Qingxi, betting that Tang Qingxi would become the number one person on this continent in the future.
He absolutely did not want the Haotian Sect and Tang Qingxi to continue to be at odds with each other.
Of course, it was not impossible for him to strangle Tang Qingxi in the cradle, but the consequences would be unimaginable.
Tang Qingxi has many people under his command, and their ability to cultivate talents is also first-rate, and many of them have the qualifications to inherit the divine throne, as well as the presence of the Pope of Wuhun Palace and others.
Whenever a fish slips through the net, it is a nightmare for the Haotian Sect.
