Xu Qingyang dismissed the old man, turned around and left calmly, saying that he wanted to go home and discuss with his family before deciding when to see him.
Xu Ao raised her eyebrows and watched Xu Qingyang leave, her calculations already unfolding in her heart.
To him, adding one more branch line is nothing.
But for the entire Xu family, if there are three more geniuses in cultivating immortals, the status of the Xu family among the four major families will definitely rise further.
So what if they don't have the blood of his Xu family?
As long as they all have the surname Xu, regard the Xu family as their own home, and bear in mind the mission of the descendants of the Xu family, then they are important members of the Xu family!
...
In the evening, the family gathered together. In front of the whole family, Xu Qingyang told the story of his private meeting with Xu Ao.
"What do you think?" Xu Qingyang asked patiently with full respect for his family.
The three Xu Yue brothers looked at each other without saying anything, but all looked at Wang Pingping.
Wang Pingping frowned and asked: "What are the benefits and what are the costs?"
Xu Qingyang replied: "The advantage is that we will have our own farm and spiritual veins, as well as abundant cultivation resources."
"The price is that we will lose some freedom, such as freedom of marriage, freedom of career choice, and contribution to the family. Of course, when we become stronger, freedom will come back."
If you take something from someone else, you should always give something back to the other person. Everyone knows this.
They are not free prostitutes, they only take but do not pay.
Wang Pingping thought for a while and looked at the three children, "What about you, what do you think?"
Xu Dalang shrugged, he had no idea, he just wanted to be with his family.
Xu Erniang frowned slightly. The barber shop's business was booming, and she didn't want to just close it.
Xu Qingyang suggested, "Whatever you want to do in the future, you can leave it to your subordinates."
Xu Erniang raised her eyes and looked into her father's eyes. In those seemingly calm eyes, there was a deep desire to go back.
For Xu Qingyang, the Xu family is not just as simple as having relatives there, there are also responsibilities and missions that he cannot give up.
"Listen to Dad." Xu Erniang sighed: "This is your home court anyway, we laymen won't point fingers."
The corner of Xu Qingyang's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at Xu Yue again, "The descendants of the Xu family can receive a lot of cultivation materials every month, and there will also be experts at your disposal. They can get the things you want to study for you.
Come."
Xu Yue asked in surprise: "Didn't you say that the head of the family only gave you a collateral status?"
Xu Qingyang immediately laughed, "The descendants of the Xu family are also the existence that ordinary monks look up to."
Xu Yue and her brother and sister looked at each other again, and the three brothers and sister nodded decisively.
At present, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and can be eliminated!
Wang Pingping also asked: "Can the materials I want for refining be met?"
Xu Qingyang nodded heavily and said proudly: "It's just a trivial matter!"
The mother and son raised their eyebrows in unison, "Let's go then, hurry up!"
This uniform movement shocked Xu Qingyang for a moment, and then he realized that his family members actually agreed.
It's incredible that they actually agreed. What he got was the cultivation resources of the entire Xu family, but what they lost was their freedom!
Xu Qingyang's eyes filled with tears and he was deeply moved, "I, I really..."
As soon as the words were spoken, the mother and son quickly dispersed and went back to their rooms to pack their personal belongings.
The tears held in Xu Qingyang's eyes could no longer fall.
"..."
Three days later, in the same inconspicuous little hut, Xu Qingyang came here with his wife and daughter anxiously.
Xu Ao had arrived long ago, but she forced the family of five to wait for half an hour before she showed up with the identity of the head of the family.
Xu Qingyang nodded to his family members, and the mother and daughter immediately came forward to greet them.
Wang Pingping squatted slightly and said, "Wang Pingping, meet the master!"
The three brothers and sisters also reported their names and saluted the head of the family.
The movements of the four people, mother and son, are so standard that you can’t fault them at all. You can tell from the first glance that they have undergone professional training.
Xu Ao is realistic, and so are they. This is just an exchange with a hint of emotion, and both parties understand it clearly.
The only one who felt a little embarrassed was Xu Qingyang, the original Xu family member.
Xu Ao was very satisfied with the etiquette of the mother and son. She hummed indifferently, expressed concern for the younger generation in an official manner, and went straight to the topic.
"In my hometown in Yuncheng, the bloodline of Xu Shuyu, who is responsible for guarding the ancestral graves, has been cut off. I ordered people to record the genealogy of your family of seven. In the future, you will be the descendants of Xu Shuyu, a descendant of my Xu family, and will be responsible for guarding the ancestral graves.
Responsibility, we must not let our ancestors make any mistakes!"
Xu Yue and the other five nodded to express their understanding.
Xu Ao then confessed: "From now on, there will be no Xu Qingyang, only Xu Qingda. Old things cannot be brought up again. You all will keep this matter in your stomach, do you understand?"
Xu Yue and the other five nodded again, they understand, they all understand.
Xu Ao was worried about making a verbal agreement and made several people swear a poisonous oath. If they violated it, they would be haunted by inner demons and fall into the devil's path forever.
Xu Qingyang took a breath of air, "Master, it doesn't have to be so serious, right?"
Xu Ao looked over with a "huh?" look, and Xu Qingyang could only sigh and teach his family how to swear viciously.
Materialists Xu Yue and Wang Pingping do not take this kind of thing to heart.
Xu Erniang, an idealist, always follows her heart.
It doesn't matter to Xu Dalang who has no faith. As a martial artist, what kind of inner demons can he be afraid of?
The family of five cooperated tacitly and swore the most vicious oaths.
Xu Qingyang lost his real name in pain, let out a long sigh, and said to his wives and daughters with some reluctance:
"From now on, I will be Xu Qingda. Don't call me Xu Qingyang again until you reach Nascent Soul."
The mother and son nodded.
Xu Ao looked at this grandson with a complicated expression. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she gave him an extra street of shops and asked him to take good care of it, train his descendants, and serve the Xu family.
Finally, he gave Xu Erniang an extraordinarily gentle look and said lovingly:
"Er Niang, this family will depend on you from now on. Our ancestors are well-informed and I think they can recognize your identity."
Xu Erniang raised her eyebrows secretly, saying this as if her ancestors were still alive.
Thinking of a group of mummies lying in the cemetery... Xu Erniang couldn't help but licked her lips. What should she do if she was a little moved?
At this time, Xu Ao didn't know that this great-granddaughter, who he had high hopes for, had already started thinking about his ancestors before she even arrived at the ancestral home.
"Don't worry, head of the family, Er Niang will work hard to practice and bring glory to the Xu family!" Xu Er Niang leaned forward and agreed.
Xu Ao looked at her with satisfaction, feeling that everything was very pleasing to the eye, "Okay, very good!"
Handing the identity token to Xu Qingyang, the grandfather and grandson looked at each other, knowing that the relationship between the two would only be hidden in the corner forever in the future, and they couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Xu Ao told her grandson: "Don't cling to the past."
Xu Qingyang nodded and said to his grandfather: "You also take care."
The two looked at each other and smiled before parting ways.
See you next time, I’ll have to wait until next time.
