Chapter 895: Meeting
Before he could walk the rest of the distance the group of adults in elaborate and refined robes ran over to him and crowded around, forming a giant group hug. They jostled around with each other trying to get closer to the center of the big pile. These were of course eight of his ten children along with a dozen of their own children and grandchildren. The twenty of them crowded him from every direction and kept at this competitive group hug for a few minutes before Sage finally cried out, Okay, okay, enough already!
This happened every time there was a family gathering and it had become something of a tradition. It would be fine if it was just a big group hug, but just like this time it always turned into a competition very quickly. For some reason they just couldnt help themselves from making it into a rugby scrum and they always put the eldest family member in the center. This meant he and his wives were always getting trapped in the middle. Hed also heard that his grandchildren did the same thing to his children, but he never got to see the stifled looks on their faces because if he dared to be in the room when it happened hed be the one getting targeted.
With a bit more shoving the tight crowd dispersed and he was standing across from a semi-circle of all these descendants of his. His wives, Jiao and Ling, as well as two of his children were not present. He found out that his first son, Juxing, was at war. Hed become one of the leaders of the Jade Horde, which was hired to take part in a war between provinces in the neighboring Tianren Kingdom. Funny enough his first daughter, Yaling, was also gone. She was out doing almost exactly the same thing as Sage had been doing, but at a lower level. As an insect tamer she was out in the wilderness hunting for exotic bugs and creatures. All the wild life on the Inner World were captured or purchased by Sage in the past, or the result of combinations of those things he brought in. When Yaling learned of the almost infinite variety of the outside world she took off and only returned to the Clan to resupply and offload all her findings. Unfortunately she was very far away at this time and it was easier for her to just listen in to the meeting than to spend years returning back to the clan. Juxing was on a battlefield so he didnt have the free time to attend the meeting, even at a distance, he could only review notes from it afterwards when he found a calm moment.
Since they had a few minutes before the meeting started he filled it by telling them some of the stories from time in the Depths. With all the information he gathered for the Clan they would have a lot more confidence in sending their people there for training. He wanted to save the gifts and improvements from the Inner World for the meeting and there were also too many of them for him to ask for each of their stories at this time. As the time counted down, more and more of the clan started to show up and soon there were too many of the higher level members that he could no longer keep starting the current story over again to include everyone. Instead they put a halt to the stories and went to their seats.
The mans eyes widened and he shook his head, Please dont misunderstand, Grand Elder. This is the place of honor. The center of attention would be just up there.
Sage looked to where the man was pointing. It was at the direct center of the two sides and would make the person there feel surrounded and forced to lift their chin to look up at the Clan Head. If his current position was like a stage, then that spot was where someone received a sentence for their crimes. Either way he was a little annoyed that he had just a regular chair and small podium rather than the elaborate living table formed of twisted tree branches. Those wooden limbs twisted and weaved into each other with the unbound constraints of nature then suddenly grew together to form a perfectly flat table. Those same branches also extended outwards to form chairs and Sage even watched as some used their Qi to help the tree grow more chairs to perfectly match the number attending this meeting.
While deciding on whether or not he wanted to punish these naughty children for not saving a good seat for him the meeting commenced. They started with the boring logistics of being a large Clan and discussed all the current events regarding their resources, where they were being expended and also being supplied. Then they moved onto the more important issues regarding their relationship with other groups and thats when they dropped a bombshell on him.
The plan for the destruction of the Yi-Yang Group is complete and the necessary supplies will be prepared and organized for deployment in a few days.
Destruction of a group? Thats a big deal! What have I missed?
