Outside the courtyard.
The head of the family and the eight elders arrived together.
From this, it could be seen how shocking the news of Chung Hua coming back alive from the Tianshu ruins was.
"Where is he?"
Xuanyuan Wuwang looked to be about sixty years old. He was wearing an exquisite dark green robe with a simple jade pendant hanging from his waist. It was obvious that he was the one with the highest status in the group.
This was Genryo Genryo's courtyard. Although Xuanyuan Wuwang was the head of the family, the servants did not recognize him.
After all, there was no television in the Supreme Palace Enclosure.
The guard didn't know Xuanyuan Wuwang, but he vaguely recognized a few of the eight elders. Therefore, when he heard Xuanyuan Wuwang's seemingly random question, the guard was stunned. He didn't know how to answer at all.
Seeing this, Genryo Genryo immediately walked out from the back of the group and quickly scolded in a low voice, "Fool, the head of the family is asking you a question. Why aren't you answering? Where did Chung Hua go? "
After hearing the head of the family scolding, the guard replied with a look of realization, "Master, the second young master has been staying in the second madam's room ever since he came back. He did not go anywhere …"
"Alright, get out of here."
The Xuanyuan family was very large.
If one had to describe it, the Xuanyuan family could be considered a county.
The head of the family was the county head, and the eight elders were the mayors of the various towns.
Now that the county head was here, it was understandable that the servants were slightly negligent.
Although Genryo Genryo was very impressive all day, in front of the head of the family, he was very much like a bootlicker who only knew how to nod his head and bow his head.
And this was the specialty of the Supreme Palace Enclosure.
That was — —
The feudal hierarchy.
Under the rules of this system, the head of the family's authority could not be challenged.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Wuwang seemed to be in a good mood today.
Therefore, after hearing the guard's answer, Xuanyuan Wuwang did not show any intention of blaming him. After casually waving his hand, he strode into the courtyard.
When his entourage saw this, they all followed behind him and swarmed into the courtyard like a swarm of bees.
At this time, Chung Hua also heard the commotion outside the house.
After signaling his mother not to get up, he walked to the door and pushed it open.
At that moment.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
This was Genryo Genryo's youngest son.
Xuanyuan Chung Hua.
A little brat who hadn't even had a coronation ceremony.
If not for the fact that Chung Hua had returned alive from the Tianshu Ruins, most of the people present would have forgotten that Genryo Genryo had such an 'outstanding' son.
"Hua 'er, why aren't you kneeling down?!"
According to the customs of the Supreme Palace Enclosure, a crowning ceremony would be held at the age of twenty, which was the so-called coming of age ceremony.
Before the crowning ceremony was held, juniors like Chung Hua did not even have the right to step into the ancestral hall of the clan.
In the past, during the clan meeting, Chung Hua often ran outside with his peers to peek at the meeting. Therefore, he knew the head of the family and the other elders.
Therefore, after hearing Genryo Genryo's reminder, Chung Hua immediately stopped on the steps and then bowed to the people in the courtyard. He clasped his fist and bowed, "Chung Hua is here to greet the head of the family, father, and elders!"
There was nothing wrong with Chung Hua's words.
However, his behavior was obviously very problematic.
In front of the head of the family, as a junior, how could Chung Hua not kneel?
This was a great crime of disrespect!
Genryo Genryo saw all of this, but as a father, he could only be anxious at the side and did not dare to say anything to remind him.
Could it be that he had to remind the head of the family to punish Chung Hua for his great disrespect?!
Genryo Genryo was very anxious in his heart.
That was because he did not know that Chung Hua had changed …
Chung Hua had been by Chen Xi's side for too long and had also lived for a long time in modern society.
Therefore, unknowingly, Chung Hua's understanding of this world had undergone a great change.
'The two of them are also human, everyone is equal …'
'It's just a meal, what's the big deal?'
'Come, come, come, sit down and eat together, try my cooking …'
Qin Xueqing did not allow the two of them to take half a step into the inner courtyard, but Chen Xi opened his mouth and let the two of them directly sit at the dining table.
This was just a small matter, but this small matter left an extremely deep impression on Chung Hua.
From the daily diet to the leisure time, Chen Xi's every move affected him and Yi Zhi almost all the time.
The reason why they did not notice anything unusual in the past was that the two of them had not returned to the Supreme Palace Enclosure yet.
It was also because of this that when Chung Hua returned this time, he realized that he seemed to be somewhat out of tune with the things around him.
It was not that he did not know etiquette.
It was purely that he did not want to kneel.
'Why are you kneeling? Stand up, haven't you heard that men have gold under their knees? Stand up straight for me. '
At this moment.
Chung Hua's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
So much so that he even started to miss Earth.
Xuanyuan Wuwang did not know what Chung Hua was thinking.
Moreover, he did not know what Chung Hua was thinking at all.
Yuan Liang, lead the way. Let's talk somewhere else. "
Xuanyuan Wuwang came here today with a purpose, so he did not want to waste too much time on these trivial matters.
At his command, the master let Genryo Genryo lead everyone to sit in the main hall of the courtyard one by one.
After that, in front of everyone present, Chung Hua repeated everything he had just said to Zhang.
His reaction was more or less the same as Zhang's.
After everyone heard that Chung Hua had been living in Mr. Chen's house all this time, the expressions on their faces were as interesting as it could be.
After Chung Hua roughly recounted his experience, he stood to the side and quietly waited for the master to ask questions.
After pondering for a while, the master frowned and asked softly, "In other words …"
"Mr. Chen has already taken you in?"
It was no wonder that everyone understood this.
After all …
The Supreme Palace Enclosure was not Earth.
Other than Chen Xi, who would take a captive in their own house and provide them with good food and drinks?
"Uh …"
"Master, Mr. Chen did not take me in as a disciple …"
"He just let me live in his house and gave me a few pointers when he was free …"
Chung Hua tried his best to explain.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Wuwang replied with a look of sudden realization, "I think it's because your cultivation levels are too low. Mr. Chen was afraid that you two would embarrass him, so he didn't give you a master and disciple status …"
"If that's the case …"
"You really can't claim to be his disciple."
As soon as this was said, the eight elders suddenly seemed to have figured something out. They could not help but nod in agreement. "Master, you're right."
Seeing that this misunderstanding was getting bigger and bigger, Chung Hua hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he forced himself to swallow the words that had already been on the tip of his tongue.
Anyway, there was nothing wrong with being Mr. Chen's disciple.
Since everyone had to understand it this way, he could only let it be.
At worst, he would go back and explain it to Mr. Chen properly. Anyway, he did not use Mr. Chen's name to swindle people everywhere …
Chung Hua believed that he had a clear conscience, so he did not dwell on this issue any longer.
Since Xuanyuan Wuwang had asked what he wanted to ask and understood what he needed to understand, Chung Hua guessed that it was time for them to leave, so he tactfully excused himself and left the main hall.
Of course, he did not go far. Instead, he waited silently outside the house so that he could send the elders off later.
Chung Hua stood outside the door and waited, bored to death.
However, at this moment, his name suddenly rang out in the main hall.
"Yuanliang, you really have a good son."
"This child is called Chung Hua, right?"
"What are his birth characters? Is he betrothed now? "
"Coincidentally, I have a niece. She's sixteen years old and has yet to be betrothed …"
"I wonder, Yuanliang, are you willing to become my in-laws?"
At that moment.
Chung Hua felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe.
Before Genryo Genryo could even open his mouth to reply, he rushed into the main hall as if he had been electrocuted. Then, in front of the master, he shouted at everyone, "No!!!"
