Chapter 38 Sisterhood
Tao Tong sent a letter to Elder Shui. He took a look and found that it was a letter from Elder Duan of Tianwai Peak. Tang Yue once asked for the Xuanming Fire Pearl in Xuanwu Town for him.
Tianwai Peak mainly practices magic, and its strength ranks among the top three in the entire Wuji Mountain. Elder Duan's Fiery Fire Technique is even more famous throughout the Liuzhou Continent.
When I opened it, I saw that Elder Duan had written something about Tang Yue. Her mother happened to be there, so Elder Shui discussed with her, "This letter was written by Elder Duan of Tianwai Peak, and it is related to A Yue."< br>
Shui Yingrou was curious, but not surprised. After A Yue gave the Xuan Ming Fire Pearl last time, Tianwai Peak gave some routine thank you gifts, but this was not in line with Elder Duan's character.
He expressed his gratitude to others who were kind to him. Tang Yue solved his long-standing problem that time - his daughter's condition was a hindrance to his conscience.
So you shouldn’t just give those conventional courtesy things.
It’s not that she was coveting the thank you gift, it was just a little strange. I also recalled what Kunwu City had done in recent years. There were indeed no major problems, and I had never offended this elder.
"Elder Duan said he wanted A Yue and Yitang to become sisters. He recognizes A Yue as his adopted daughter and invites A Yue to the Duan family ancestral hall tomorrow."
Shui Yingrou said for a moment. Without words, this repayment of gratitude is too solemn. Recognizing the adopted daughter of the ancestral hall means that Elder Duan must fulfill his father's duties to Ayue. And when Ah Yue enters the Duan family ancestral hall, she is considered to be more than half of the Duan family, and she can speak in the Duan family.
The Duan family is also an ancient family in Wuji Mountain. It is stronger than the Ruan family that Shui Peishan married into, and has been developed for a longer time. There have been five ascended ancestors in the family.
Furthermore, the Duan family has the bloodline of the Suzaku True God. Although they are not as close to the True God as the Xuanwu Town tribesmen, they can still receive the blessing of the Suzaku.
Elder Duan is the most outstanding genius of the Duan family in the past hundred years. He is a descendant of his ancestors and is said to be able to possess the true god Suzaku.
"A Rou, I think this is a good thing. With the help of Elder Duan, the Luo family is even more afraid to attack A Yue. I wonder if you can make the decision to make A Yue the adopted daughter of Elder Duan."
Shui Yingrou thought about Tang Wenhua, he might be eager to be on good terms with the Duan family. The Duan family produces spiritual jade of extremely high quality. He always tries to get close to the Duan family during every year and festival in order to lower the price of spiritual jade.
"I can make the decision. I will tell A Yue soon and ask her to go to Duan's house tomorrow."
Tang Yue knew at night that he was about to have a sister and a foster father. She didn't understand Duan Yitang's character, but after thinking about it, she realized that Elder Duan was a decent and powerful person, and she thought her daughter's character would not be bad, so she accepted the matter.
Having multiple relatives is also a good thing. It just so happened that her biological father was not very good, so God provided her with a better father.
"Okay, what gifts do I need to prepare?"
"Your grandpa and I will help you prepare it. You don't know much about the situation."
Tang Yue went there in his grandfather's Nine-Colored Deer. He first went to Tianwai Peak to visit Elder Duan and his daughter, and then went to the Duan family with them.
She didn't wait long at Tianwai Peak before meeting Elder Duan and Duan Yitang.
She met Elder Duan first and gave her gift, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Elder Duan. How have you been lately?"
Elder Duan had a smile in his eyes, "Not bad, A-Yue. The longer she gets, the more beautiful she becomes." He called Tang Yue's nickname affectionately.
Tang Yue turned to Duan Yitang again. This sister was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with beautiful appearance, gentle eyebrows, and a gentle smile, like a spring breeze.
She is just a mortal now. She may have just recovered her health and is not suitable for practice yet.
"This must be Sister Yitang. She is indeed a smart person. She must have inherited Elder Duan's talent."
Duan Yitang smiled. She really likes to hear others say that she has monasticism. talent. She has been ill for so many years, and a while ago she thought she was going to die soon, so naturally she didn't dare to think about the great way. Now that she can recover, of course she has to practice hard.
"Sister Tang Yue is indeed a thoughtful person. I really want to thank you for saving my life." As she said this, her eyes filled with tears and she wanted to salute Tang Yue.
How can she bear this gift, "Sister Yitang doesn't have to be like this, I will also atone for my cousin's sins."
"One code equals another. Her faults will never be blamed on you." Duan Yitang looks weak, but her character is as clear-cut as Elder Duan.
Tang Yue smiled and said, "So I should be Sister Yitang's sister. God sent me to give my sister a gift. This is our fate."
Well, she thinks The fantasy novels I read in my previous life were not in vain. I picked up all the lines at my fingertips.
Duan Yitang laughed and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Yes, we are destined to have such a relationship as sisters."
Elder Duan looked at the newly minted couple not far away. The little sisters interacted and felt relieved. He also thought for a long time before deciding to recognize Tang Yue as his adopted daughter and repay her.
The main reason is that Tang Yue is a child with a good heart, a good family background, and a generous person, so he is suitable to be a sister with Duan Yitang, who is recovering from illness.
He was a little worried that Yitang, who was recovering from illness, would not be able to integrate into the junior circle and feel lonely. It happened that Tang Yue was coming to Wuji Mountain to study, so the two of them could take care of each other.
Anyway, he doesn’t know a few Wujishan juniors with good conduct. If Yitang befriends a sister like Ruan Ying, the consequences will be really disastrous. After Elder Duan told the two of them some information about the Duan family, he took them away.
It was also the first time for Duan Yitang to go to the Duan family. Before, she was too sick to get out of bed, and at most she was a waiter. The handyman disciple pushed her to the yard, and she had never left Tianwai Peak.
In fact, she was a little nervous, and thinking about having Tang Yue with her, she felt a little more at ease.
Elder Duan and his daughter were flying with their swords, while Tang Yue was still sitting on Elder Shui’s five-color deer. Her grandfather specially asked her to bring this, so that the Duan family would not let rude people rush into Tang Yue for his sake.
The Duan family is not in Wuji Mountain, but in a mountain forest not far from Wuji Mountain. It is built on the mountainside. There are Duan family buildings inside and outside the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, there is also the fertile farmland of the Duan family, which mostly employs mortals and low-level monks to take care of it.
The group of people arrived at the gate of Duan Mansion and waited for the child to report.
After a while, a woman came out, wearing dark purple clothes. She looked to be in her fifties, but her cultivation level was not obvious to Tang Yue.
I saw Elder Duan handing over to the woman and bowing, "Mother, how are you doing recently?"
"You have not returned home for the past fifteen years. For your sake My daughter has been working hard, and now she comes to ask me if I am well." The woman's words were full of dissatisfaction.
Tang Yue thought that Elder Duan's mother was very dissatisfied. It seemed that Sister Duan was in a bad situation in the Duan family. This was probably the reason why Elder Duan wanted to recognize her as his adopted daughter.
But if she wanted to enjoy the benefits, she had to make sacrifices. She had always known this, but she didn't take this idea of exclusion seriously.
Duan Yitang was a little worried and uneasy. Although she was mentally prepared for the Duan family's attitude, she did not expect that her grandmother would not give her a serious look.
Tang Yue pulled her hand and reassured her with his eyes.
Elder Duan apologized: "Mother, it wasn't me before, but I was also worried about Yitang. I believe you understand my feelings as a parent."
"Yitang is fine now. , I can practice Taoism like a normal monk, and I also brought back a good-character adopted daughter. We should be happy that our family is reunited today."
The Duan family's grandmother snorted, but she didn't say anything. To save face for his son, he asked the maid and waiter to greet a few people inside.
The three of them were introduced into the main hall. In the center sat an old man with gray hair and beard, but he was in good spirits and energetic, staring at the three people who walked in.
"Niezi, how dare you come back? Look what you have done these years? You ignored your family for personal reasons." He seemed a little angry, but he was not really angry.
Tang Yue understood clearly. Perhaps it was because of his relationship with his late wife and his daughter's life that Elder Duan had not returned home for fifteen years and did not help the family's development. His parents were not very happy and of course they could not meet each other. Have a good look.
Even the elders in the family are not that angry. After all, Elder Duan is a genius who has returned to the Suzaku True God. He is young and has an unlimited future. It is a good thing for him to return to the family.
Elder Duan bowed first, "Father, my son is unfilial, and I apologize to you here."
Tang Yue also pulled Duan Yitang to salute, "I have met the head of the Duan family."
Elder Duan's father snorted coldly and said nothing.
The young woman on the side smoothed things over, "It's a good thing that my second brother is back. I see that although my second brother is running around, he has not fallen behind in his cultivation. Now I can't see his cultivation."
Elder Duan replied to the woman, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I am now at the first level of Dongxu cultivation."
Tang Yue recalled what Elder Duan had introduced to her when she was in Tianwai Mountain just now. Character relationships.
His mother's name is Xiulan Xin, and his sister-in-law's name is Xiu Fumei. They both come from the Xiu family, which was originally a large family, but due to poor management, it has now weakened into a middle-class family.
So in order to help the Xiu family, his mother asked her children to marry his eldest brother.
This must be Aunt Xiu, right?
Elder Duan introduced the elders to Tang Yue and Duan Yitang. Sitting next to Mrs. Xiu was the eldest aunt of the Duan family.
The two of them saluted the seniors of the Duan family one by one. They met their peers. There were so many people that she didn’t even remember them all.
Next is the banquet. The ceremony for the two to enter the ancestral hall will be held tomorrow. Today is the dust-cleansing banquet. Now Tang Yue really feels that too many banquets affect his practice. No wonder the monk has been in seclusion for more than ten years and refuses all banquets.
While I was thinking wildly, a young woman's voice came from the right, "Elder Duan really likes to raise oil bottles. He raised one, picked up another one, and brought it home. Who kind of person is he now? We can all become members of the Duan family.”
