Chapter 570 Who's Acting?
Three days later, the Xie family opened their ancestral hall.
For the past three days, Xie Qianjue has been confined to the forbidden area and diligently studying the jade slip given to him by Jiuhuang.
The jade slip did not contain any peerless sword techniques or martial arts manuals, but rather a mental cultivation manual.
The mental technique was extremely strange; Xie Qianjue felt a sense of purification and cleansing in his mind just by reciting it silently.
To be precise, this mental technique can purify one's distracting thoughts.
Finally, one reaches a state of selflessness and detachment.
It resembles Buddhist scriptures.
Xie Qianjue dared not practice it properly, but focused on studying it every day.
Because he foresaw another bad ending, he studied the situation while thinking about how to send the message to Yun Yici and the others, so that Rong Xuan could quickly escape from the Xie family.
Unfortunately, Jiuhuang was also in the forbidden area for the past three days, so he had no way to send out messages.
He can't leave the forbidden area on his own.
Xie Qianjue was preoccupied with his thoughts, his gaze falling on the dragon pendant.
In the past, his precognitive abilities would occasionally flare up, but he would only see fragments of things.
It doesn't go down to the point where you can personally experience every person's expression and what they say.
He guessed it was because of the dragon pendant.
He tried to communicate with the dragon shadow in the dragon pendant, but the dragon shadow in the pendant was silent, as if it did not exist at all.
"Let's go."
After observing Xie Qianjue from the shadows of the forbidden area for three days, Jiuhuang spoke with satisfaction.
Xie Qianjue lowered his eyes, but tried to concentrate his mind, attempting to foresee some future scenes.
Fortunately, I didn't see anything.
It's a good thing we didn't see it.
he thinks.
Xie Qianjue followed Jiuhuang out of the forbidden area and returned to the Xie family's main residence, where Xie Yuanchen personally waited for him.
The Xie family has already been given some pointers by Xie Yuanchen.
Everyone who saw the old man and the young man bowed respectfully.
"Grand Ancestor, Young Master."
Without even glancing at these people, Jiu Huang asked Xie Yuanchen, "Are you ready?"
Xie Yuanchen said with difficulty, "I'm all prepared, but which branch should I keep in mind, Brother Xie?"
Xie Qianjue now holds a prestigious position, and many people are vying for him.
Putting everything else aside, Xie Yuanchen had already entertained wicked thoughts.
"Why don't I adopt Brother Xie as my godson? That way, it would be perfectly legitimate."
Xie Qianjue spoke his mind: "I don't have a father like you."
Jiuhuang also looked disgusted: "In the past, the Xie family always made whoever could awaken their talent the head of the family. There was never any such thing as a legitimate title."
"It was only later that the direct line fell into chaos and lost its talented members that your branch was made to take on the position of family head generation after generation."
"Since we don't know which branch to put it in, let's just put it in a separate branch."
Xie Yuanchen was stunned, stammering, "This..."
The fact that Jiuhuang is giving Xie Qianjue such high regard means that, in terms of seniority alone, Xie Qianjue is above everyone else!
Xie Yuanchen was dissatisfied but dared not disobey.
"Yes."
Xie Qianjue followed behind Jiuhuang, while Xie Yuanchen felt he was half a step behind, keeping pace with Xie Qianjue.
The Xie family's grand courtyard is filled with rare and exotic flowers and plants.
These spiritual herbs and flowers that cultivators outside force to grow are here merely as ordinary decorations because of their beauty or fragrance.
With such a large quantity of spiritual herbs and flowers being cultivated, the supply of spiritual energy becomes crucial.
Firstly, the Xie family chose a location in the Heavenly Spirit Domain where the spiritual energy was most abundant in the human realm.
Chaoyang City has a protective array, the core of which is located in the Xie family's main residence, and the speed at which spiritual energy flows is terrifying.
Xie Qianjue walked around the Xie family's house, feeling as if he had taken a bath in a pool of spiritual energy.
The Xie family's ancestral hall is also protected by a protective barrier.
This place, passed down from the Xie family ancestors, was a refuge for Xie family members who suffered misfortune; it is of utmost importance.
Subsequent heads of the Xie family tried every means to build and reinforce the structure.
Although it is called an ancestral hall, it is actually as large as a palace, and can accommodate more than a thousand people.
If there is any real trouble, the direct descendants of Chaoyang City can hide in the ancestral hall and remain as solid as a rock.
At this time, Xie Yuanchen had already ordered the ancestral hall to be renovated.
Xie Qianjue stepped inside onto a soft carpet adorned with crimson and gold trim.
The two Xie family bosses stared sternly at the boy who had appeared out of nowhere.
But they dared not question it.
No one dared to defy the Nine Desolations.
After three days of skillful medical treatment, Xie Sanjue barely survived. He stood beside his mother with his head down, trying his best not to reveal the hatred in his eyes.
Xie Qianjue glanced at the mother and son, then looked at a mother and daughter who were some distance away from Xie Sanjue and his mother.
Fortunately, Xie Sanshen was not there.
Xie Qianjue breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Sanshen was hurriedly sent away by Xie Yinglu as soon as he returned that day.
Rong Xuan was unaware that Xie Qianjue had helped him through a life-or-death crisis, but he had a bad feeling, so he went along with it and "agreed" to go to another place to avoid trouble.
Xie Qianjue walked up the soft red carpet to the high platform and saw the walls covered with ancestral tablets of the Xie family.
There are no lamps in the ancestral hall; all the light comes from the soul lamps of the Xie family members within the hall.
Xie Yuanchen announced: "Xie Qianjue is a hidden gem of our Xie clan."
"Today, our ancestor will personally add this to the family genealogy."
A beam of light flew down from the center of the ancestral hall's roof and landed in the hands of Jiuhuang.
Jiuhuang opened the family genealogy, took the pen handed to him by Xie Yuanchen, and touched Xie Qianjue's heart with his fingertip.
Xie Qianjue felt a sharp pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw a drop of blood forced out from his heart.
With blood dripping from his pen, Jiuhuang opened the family genealogy and wrote Xie Qianjue's name in the blank space next to his own.
As soon as the three characters "Xie Qianjue" were written, the genealogy overflowed with golden light.
Jiuhuang was overjoyed: "Good, good!"
The clan elders, who had previously expressed reservations about Xie Qianjue's appearance, were also dumbfounded.
“This person is destined for great fortune; how could he be left to wander outside?”
"Heavens, no wonder the ancestor insisted on taking him as a disciple, so that's why."
Some elders even cried out in tears, "Our Xie family is saved! Saved!"
Jiuhuang didn't bother with the old man below him. He closed the family genealogy and poured the remaining blood of Xie Qianjue into a soul lamp.
The soul lamp lit up instantly, dimming the other soul lamps.
It swayed upwards, extremely steadily, and with its target in the middle and high, it immediately suppressed everyone below.
Xie Yuanchen: "Congratulations on your return to your clan, Young Master. This is my gift."
This title almost made Xie Sanjue lose control, but Madam Li, who was beside him, pulled him back.
Xie Yuanchen's reminder brought the clan elders below back to their senses, and they all took out the congratulatory gifts they had prepared from their sleeves.
Xie Qianjue finally knows what it means to receive so many gifts that your hands cramp up.
A thought suddenly occurred to him: now that he had finally escaped the forbidden area, he needed to find a way to send a message out.
Unfortunately, Jiuhuang stayed by his side constantly, so he couldn't do anything.
Jiuhuang said to Xie Yuanchen, "Now that Xie Qianjue has been included in the family genealogy, it can be considered a great achievement."
"The rest is the hall where he and I formally became disciples. You should spread the word and invite the other four family heads to the banquet."
“Our five families should have been closely connected, but we have been estranged for so many years due to misunderstandings.”
Xie Qianjue's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
In his premonition, Jiuhuang had said something like he didn't care about his background or origins.
Does this mean that Jiuhuang already had suspicions about his origins?
Why tolerate him so much and even play along? Perhaps it's to expose the person behind him.
Even more so, it's all for the purpose of finding the Sun and Moon Shuttle!
