Chapter 45: Chapter 42: Clan Leader’s Invitation_l
Translator: 549690339
This year’s Coming of Age Ceremony was undoubtedly the most grand and lively one held by the Yang family in recent years.
Because of Yang Chen’s amazing performance, showing a shocking talent, the high-levels of the Yang family were not only delighted but also entered into negotiations with many foreign clans.
What were they negotiating? Naturally, cooperation.
Generally speaking, even if a family holds a Coming of Age Ceremony, it would not be open to outsiders. But why do the Great Wild Hundred Clans like to open their Coming of Age Ceremony to outsiders? It is because the Coming of Age
Ceremony is a good time for a tribe to show their strength to the outside world.
If a family’s Coming of Age Ceremony has no talent, what is the future of such a family? Even cooperation would be meaningless. But if a family has countless talents, it represents the future prospects of the clan, and early cooperation brings only benefits without any harm.
Yang Chen’s performance today is even comparable to that of a genius cultivated by the Great Tribes, and also due to the collaboration between Li Family Commerce Group and Yang Family, it strengthens Yang Family’s prestige. Those in charge of the smaller tribes outside were all competing to discuss cooperation with the Yang family.
Even many foreign clan leaders personally proposed a marriage alliance, planning to marry their most outstanding daughters to Yang Chen and bind the relationships between the two families.
However, the Yang Family Patriarch is a very shrewd man, knowing that Yang Chen has become a hot topic. How could they rush to settle Yang Chen’s marriage? When dealing with people, they never mention Yang Chen’s marriage ideas.
Yang Chen was completely unaware of this, and had already devoted himself wholeheartedly to his cultivation of the ‘Mixed Yuan Spear Technique’.
In this way, the night quietly passed by without a sound during his cultivation.
When Yang Chen opened his eyes, it was already early in the morning, and knocking sounds of “dong dong” came from his door. Startled, he got up to answer the door and found that Gu Mingyue, the young girl, had come looking for him early in the morning.
“Mingyue, why are you here so early?” Yang Chen asked curiously.
Whether Gu Mingyue was nervous or whatnot, when she saw Yang Chen now, her face instantly turned red like a soft and delicate apple; she lowered her head, her heart beating uncontrollably, and she dared not look at Yang Chen.
This emotional change actually happened overnight. Before, she thought Yang Chen was a waste, and she would not have any problems communicating with him. However, things are different now. After Yang Chen’s performance yesterday, his tall figure had completely been established in her heart.
Which girl doesn’t have romantic feelings? Yang Chen conquered foreign girls with his performance yesterday, and naturally, he conquered Gu Mingyue as well.
When Gu Mingyue saw Yang Chen, her heart thumped fiercely, and she nervously whispered, “Young… Young Master, the Patriarch just sent someone over, and they want you to go there. He has some important matters to tell you.”
“Oh? The Patriarch wants to see me?” Yang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised, but soon understood.
With his hands behind his back, he said, “Have all the foreign clans left?”
“Yes, the Patriarch and the high-level clan members spent the entire night to send those foreign clan members away. As soon as day broke, he asked for you to come.” Gu Mingyue said softly like a gentle little bird.
Yang Chen nodded thoughtfully, “Alright, I’ll go see the Patriarch. Help me pack some clothes.”
“Yes, Young Master.” Gu Mingyue was excited.
Yang Chen didn’t pay much attention to Gu Mingyue’s emotional fluctuations. He glanced down at Gu Mingyue’s blushing face and smiled, “Mingyue, you look much prettier in your new clothes than before. If you’re short of Spirit Stones, just ask your Young Master for them.”
Words spoken without care, but taken with meaning. Gu Mingyue just calmed her initial excitement, but when she heard Yang Chen complimenting her, her heart started thumping again. She quickly said, “Young… Young Master, I’ll prepare the clothes for you.”
As soon as her words fell, the young girl fled like smoke before them.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh, not taking the matter to heart. Soon after, he changed his clothes and went to the Yang Family Patriarch’s residence.
This time, compared to the last visit, the access has become much smoother. Patriarch Yang Jinhe’s old servant had clearly already received permission. As soon as Yang Chen arrived, the old servant respectfully invited Yang Chen to enter.Upon arrival, Yang Chen saw a room full of high-ranking officials. This surprised Yang Chen, who was no stranger to grand events. Judging by the atmosphere in the room, it seemed that almost all high-level members of the Yang Family were gathered here.
Elder Yang and Fourth Master Yang, whom Yang Chen was familiar with, were among them.
“Yang Chen, you’re here,” Yang Jinhe said with a warm smile, a significant change in attitude towards Yang Chen. “Greetings to all the Elders,” Yang Chen respectfully bowed.
“Hmm, we’ve taken note of your performance yesterday,” one of the elders said.
“Hahaha, you did well. Those bandits thought they could bully the Yang family easily. They needed to have their arrogance checked,” said another.
Many high-ranking members of the Yang family had changed their attitude towards Yang Chen and praised him.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but sigh at their pragmatism and the benefits his strength brought him. It seemed that in this world, no matter where one was, the primary condition for earning respect from others was a strong personal strength.
While thinking, Yang Chen replied humbly: “I only did what was necessary. I appreciate the Elders’ kind words.”
“Young but not arrogant, and humble. Good, good,” praised one elder. “It seems Yang Chen has truly matured.”
“After encountering failure once, Yang Chen has turned over a new leaf. Now, he does well. Life needs setbacks. Perhaps the reason why our younger generations didn’t perform well at the Coming of Age Ceremony is that they have never faced any setbacks.”
These elders did not hold back in expressing their satisfaction with Yang Chen. However, not everyone was sincere in their attitude towards him, particularly
Eighth Master Yang, who sat in a corner with a seemingly different demeanor.
Turning his eyes to Eighth Master Yang, Yang Chen noticed his cold expression. “Patriarch,” Eighth Master Yang said, “we are here to discuss important matters today. Although Yang Chen is outstanding, he is still a junior.member. Is he qualified to attend this high-level meeting?”
“Old Eight, what do you mean by that? What’s wrong with letting Yang Chen experience the world?” retorted Elder Yang, frowning.
These two were old rivals within the Yang family, a fact that was well-known to everyone, including Yang Chen himself.
Eighth Master Yang sneered, “It’s no secret that Yang Chen is close to you, and of course, you’d speak up for him. However, according to the rules, Yang Chen shouldn’t be here with us. How are we supposed to maintain our status as elders with him in the room? What do you think, everyone?”
Eighth Master Yang certainly knew how to play the game of politics, immediately turning to the interests of everyone present.
Despite Yang Chen’s excellent performance the day before, some people agreed that he shouldn’t attend such an important event considering his current status. If he stayed, how could they maintain their valuable positions?
Many people who consider themselves prestigious care a great deal about their status. Any event that might make them feel they are lowering themselves would warrant a swift retort.
Indeed, after Eighth Master Yang’s speech, several high-ranking members of the family began whispering and pointing at Yang Chen.
“Yeah, that kid Yang Chen really lacks manners.”
“This kind of occasion is beyond his current status.”
“I don’t know what the Patriarch was thinking. The kid just took advantage of this situation. Since the Patriarch invited him, he just came?”
Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Yang Jinhe, the Head of the Yang Family, finally spoke with a cold snort, “Eighth Elder, Second Elder, are you really going to argue in front of me, your Patriarch? Eighth Elder, you keep saying that Yang Chen doesn’t deserve to be here. But the main purpose of today’s meeting is related to Yang Chen.. Why shouldn’t he be here? Or shall we just cancel the meeting today?”
