Chapter 639

Everything else can be negotiated, but the food cannot be given up, not even if the Heavenly King himself came.

Upon hearing Xu Jie say that, the Tang family's juniors didn't even think and directly replied.

Brother Xu, we are willing to join the Dao Yi Sect.

Huh???

Seeing the Tang family juniors not even flinch, Xu Jie was stunned, "No, you guys are being so casual?"

But even if you're casual, our Dao Yi Sect isn't that casual. Do you think our Dao Yi Sect is something you can just walk into?

Not to mention that aptitude and foundation need to be tested; one also has to pass the Heart-Reflecting Mirror.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and Xu Jie shook his head.

Our Dao Yi Sect currently has no plans to recruit disciples.

He then stopped wasting time with those Tang family juniors, went forward to get a meal, and started eating heartily.

However, while Xu Jie and his group were eating, at least one Tang family junior was squatting beside them.

Each stared eagerly at the Dao Yi Sect members gulping down their food; the fervor in their gazes was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Brother Xu, is today's braised chicken tasty?

Not bad.

Brother Xu, don't spit out the bones; let me suck the flavor off them.

Don't worry, I never spit out chicken bones when I eat.

Huh???

Now it was the Tang family juniors' turn to be dumbfounded—eating chicken without spitting out the bones?

But seeing Xu Jie actually swallow the chicken bones whole, that Tang family junior was truly stunned—'Really, you don't spit out the bones? Won't that prick your throat?'

Under the gaze of the Tang family, after finishing the meal, I thought those guys, having been rejected, wouldn't come back, but the next day, damn it, they showed up again.

Moreover, they went above and beyond, practically serving you with no temper at all.

Even when Zhao Zhengping and Zhao Rou planned to go out for a stroll, several Tang family juniors accompanied them.

Some fanned, some held umbrellas, and there were even those specially assigned to carry a sedan chair following behind.

As soon as they left the Tang family manor, they instantly attracted numerous gazes.

After all, in the Tang family fortress, the Tang family are the true masters.

But now, what they saw was the Tang family members pattering after a few young people like flunkies, practically the picture of lackeys.

No, what's wrong with the Tang family today?

I don't know, look at them all smiling.........

Could it be that people from the Holy Land have arrived?

Even if it's the Holy Land, it shouldn't be like this.

Under countless gazes, Zhao Zhengping and his companions felt their scalps tingle; this damn feeling was always weird.

Not long after they started strolling, Zhao Zhengping's group couldn't withstand all those gazes and slunk back.

I thought this was already outrageous enough, but something even more outrageous was still to come.

During the day it was fine, but at night, Xu Jie finally got a chance to relax; yet in his daze, he constantly felt someone standing before him.

Who...........

He sprang up, glanced at the bedside, and in an instant Xu Jie's eyes widened—it was that Tang family junior who had been attending to him.

You-you-you........... what are you doing here?

Brother Xu, you're awake—do you want water? I'll pour you a cup.

Don't move—I'm asking what you're doing here.

I'm attending to Brother Xu.

You......... I............

Hearing that Tang family junior's words, Xu Jie froze outright—'In the middle of the night you come to my room and still want to attend to me?'

His eyelids twitched wildly, and seeing that, the Tang family junior seemed to guess something, hurriedly producing a chamber pot.

Brother Xu, do you need to relieve yourself? Here's a chamber pot—do you need me to hold it for you?

Hold what? Hold what? Get out.

Unable to bear it any longer, Xu Jie roared.

This damn thing is getting more and more excessive.

That night many people encountered this situation; even in Zhao Zhengping and Zhao Rou's rooms, a Tang family female disciple simply drove Zhao Zhengping to a breakdown.

By the next morning, everyone gathered together to discuss solutions.

I say, stop this—it's useless. Our Dao Yi Sect recruits disciples very strictly, and besides, your Tang family is in Zhongzhou while our Dao Yi Sect is in Dongzhou; it's not a good fit.

In the end, we could only reason with them and appeal to their emotions.

The Tang family juniors wanting to join our Dao Yi Sect is simply impossible—a Zhongzhou family and a Dongzhou sect; that's nonsense.

I thought this should have been enough to convince the Tang family.

But that very night, the Tang family gathered again, and everyone wore worried frowns.

Grandfather, no—our Dao Yi Sect refuses to take us.

Exactly, they said our Tang family is a Zhongzhou clan while their Dao Yi Sect is a Dongzhou sect; we're not a good match.

All the Tang family juniors wore worried frowns, while Tang Yao, seated at the head, pondered for a long time, then raised his head and spoke firmly.

Who says our Tang family is a Zhongzhou clan?

Huh???

Qi Xiong had also spoken with Tang Yao, and now his expression clearly showed he had made some decision.

Early the next morning, the Tang family members indeed came again. Seeing this, the Dao Yi Sect members were completely speechless, and Qi Xiong helplessly looked toward Tang Yao and said.

"Old Tang Family Head, I already told you, the Dao Yi Sect truly isn't suitable for your Tang family; your Tang family couldn't possibly all move to Dongzhou, so let's not talk about these things anymore, we..............."

But who would have thought, before Qi Xiong could finish speaking, Tang Yao directly took out a genealogy, firmly looked at Qi Xiong and said.

"Sect Master Qi, actually my Tang family is not a Zhongzhou clan, but comes from Dongzhou."

"We can part on good terms; even if your Tang family isn't............. what are you saying?"

Turning his head in disbelief to look at Tang Yao, facing Qi Xiong's gaze, Tang Yao opened the genealogy without changing his expression, speaking firmly.

"Sect Master Qi, look, my Tang family originally was a prominent family of Dongzhou, only later moved to Zhongzhou, and the genealogy still records this."

Huh???

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiong indeed saw the record in the genealogy, but upon seeing it, he really became unsettled.

Damn, the ink on this isn't even dry yet, and you're telling me this is your Tang family genealogy?

Moreover, your Tang family genealogy only started being recorded from your generation, Tang Yao?

"Old Tang Family Head, is it necessary to go this far?"

After taking a deep look at Tang Yao, Qi Xiong spoke with a complex expression.

These Tang family people are all so stubborn; I've already told them they're not suitable.

But regarding this, Tang Yao replied without changing his expression.

"Yesterday Sect Master Qi asked me, saying my Tang family couldn't possibly all move to Dongzhou, but today I clearly answer Sect Master Qi's question."

"After so many years in Zhongzhou, my Tang family indeed it's time to return to our roots."

Huh???

Upon hearing the phrase 'returning to one's roots,' Qi Xiong's eyelids twitched wildly, 'What the hell roots are you talking about? Where does your Tang family have any roots in Dongzhou?'

"Old Tang Family Head, have you considered what your Tang family ancestors would think by doing this?"

"It's fine; yesterday the ancestors already came to me in a dream, they also wish to return to their roots and go back to Dongzhou together."

I I I............. this time, Qi Xiong really couldn't utter a word, staring dumbly at Tang Yao.
