At the main table of the Tang Banquet, only the top figures of the Tang Sect could participate, such as Tang Tianjue, Tang Shengke, Tang Tianhe and others.
The table was very large, and there were more than twenty people including Wu Bei. Some of them were known to Wu Bei, such as Tang Xi, Tang Hongyi, Tang An, Tang Tianyun, etc.
He was an outsider, so he sat in the last seat. Tang Tianhe was supposed to sit in another seat, but in order to be close to Wu Bei, he deliberately sat in the seat to the right of Wu Bei.
Tang Tianhe smiled and said: "Mr. Wu, the people sitting at this table are all senior officials of the Tang Sect. Mainly the elders of the Presbytery and the heads of each hall."
Wu Bei: "I heard that there are only nine elders in the Tang Sect's Elder House. There are quite a lot of people here."
Tang Tianhe: "There are twenty elders in the Presbytery, and the ones who take turns are called rotating elders, and there are nine of them. The rotating elders are replaced every three years, and the remaining eleven elders rotate in turn."
Wu Bei: "Do the nine rotating elders have the final say on Tang Clan affairs?"
Tang Tianhe: "Most of the time, this is the case. Unless there is a very important event, twenty elders need to discuss it together to make a decision."
Tang Tianhe was introducing, and the other elders had already sat down in their fixed positions. One of them suddenly looked at Wu Bei and said: "Is this Bingyun's fiancé?"
The speaker was a bald young man with thick eyebrows, a round face, and a white thin shirt.
Tang Bingyun said: "Fifth Elder, he is Wu Bei, my fiancé."
Tang Tianhe whispered: "He is Tang Wuxie who is in charge of business, the fourth elder of this term."
There is no distinction between elders in the Tang Sect. The first elder or the second elder are called according to the order of rotation. For example, the ninth elder is actually the elder who will be replaced next time. After the rotation, the elder will become the ninth elder.
, the seven elders will become elders, and the new one will be the great elder.
He slightly cupped his hands towards Tang Wuxie and said, "I have met the Fourth Elder."
Tang Wuxie smiled and said, "I have heard about Mr. Wu for a long time. I heard that your business is very big?"
Wu Bei: "Sorry, I don't understand business, I just invested some money randomly."
Tang Wuxie: "You didn't invest randomly, you are now a millionaire with a net worth of hundreds of billions."
Hearing what he said, everyone present was slightly surprised. He has a net worth of hundreds of billions?
Tang Tianyun snorted: "He is a disciple of Mr. Dongfo, and his senior brother is the talker of the Shenwu Division. With these connections, it is not difficult to make hundreds of billions."
Last time, Wu Bei met Tang Tianyun in the port city. Tang Tianyun had wanted to take away the identity of the Lord of Heavenly Slaughter, and his impression of this was not good.
Tang Tianjue said: "Tianyun, Wu Bei is my grandson-in-law! What's the matter, you don't like him?"
He speaks very straightforwardly, which is his usual style.
Tang Tianyun smiled "hehe" and said: "Master, I think this Mr. Wu is far behind Ouyang Jinzun or Huangfu Qianjun."
Tang Xi couldn't help but said: "Master Wu surpasses the rest in terms of financial resources, ability, and connections, including Huangfu Qianjun and Ouyang Jinzun."
After hearing his refutation, Tang Tianyun said: "Tang Xi, are you speaking for him because he helped you solve your trouble?"
Tang Xi said lightly: "I'm just discussing the matter."
Tang Tianjue: "Okay! My granddaughter is mine. You have no control over who I choose to be my granddaughter-in-law."
He didn't let everyone discuss it at all and directly decided on Wu Bei's identity.
"Wu Bei treated my injury, which is a great achievement. I decided to give him the status of Tang Shuai. Do you have any objections?" Tang Tianjue paused and suddenly said something shocking.
Tang Tianyun immediately objected and said: "Master! Tang Shuai's salary is extremely high. It seems too casual for you to give it to an outsider?"
Tang Hongyi agreed and said: "I think it's okay. There was an invasion of evil spirits in the underground parking lot before. If it weren't for Wu Bei, we would have lost a lot of people. This can be considered a credit."
Tang Tianhe immediately said: "Yes, I agree with Hongyi's point of view."
Tang Tianjue said: "Promotion to Tang Shuai means that one person will lose his status as Tang Shuai."
As he spoke, he looked at one of them and said, "Tiancheng, you have quite a few Tang commanders under you, who have always made everyone jealous. I think I should hand over one of them now to prevent others from gossiping."
This man named Tiancheng is a young man, his name is Tang Tiancheng, he is the head of the Qin Hall in charge of the Tang Sect's logistics, and he is a fat man.
Tang Tiancheng immediately said: "Master, the people around me have made great contributions. Their title of Tang Shuai was earned with their lives and sweat. If you ask me to take away one of their people, I can't help the people below."
explain!"
Tang Tianjue: "If you can't explain it to the people below, can you explain it to me?"
At this time, Tang Tianjue was not angry. He said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense! If you dare to talk more, you, the hall leader, will stop doing it!"
Tang Tiancheng looked ugly. Tang Tianjue did have this power, but he was not convinced, so he turned his attention to an old man sitting on his left.
This old man, with a childish face and white hair, could not tell his age. He knocked on the table with his red and delicate hands and said, "Tiancheng, do whatever the master tells you to do. Don't ignore the rules."
Tang Tiancheng lowered his head: "Yes, Fifth Uncle." Obviously, he listened to this man's words more than Tang Tianjue, because the person who spoke was Tang Shengke, and Tang Tianjue had a higher seniority.
Tang Tianjue said with a smile: "Uncle Wu understands the truth best."
Tang Shengke: "But Tian Jue. The position of Tang Shuai has always been given to those who have made great achievements. This Mr. Wu has recently joined the Tang Sect. You just gave him the status of Tang Shuai at will. Isn't this inappropriate?"
Tang Tianjue: "Fifth Uncle, Wu Bei healed my injury. Isn't this a great achievement?"
Tang Shengke: "It is certainly a great achievement to cure the sect leader. However, he is still young and has just entered the Tang Sect. If he becomes Tang Shuai easily, the Tang Sect disciples will not accept it."
Tang Tianjue did not push back this time, but nodded and said: "What the fifth uncle said is absolutely true, so I decided to arrange a task for Wu Bei. Only when he completes this task will I give him Tang Shuai's
identity."
Tang Bingyun couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, what's the mission?"
Tang Tianjue said: "Wu Bei is very skilled in medicine, but in our Tang sect, there are two highly respected figures. They have been troubled by injuries, which has caused them to be unable to perform their cultivation. If Wu Bei can cure them, wouldn't it be a great achievement?"
?”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was surprised.
Tang Shengke seemed to understand something and said: "Tian Jue, the two ancestors have been in seclusion for many years. Don't disturb them easily! If we anger the second ancestors, we can't afford to suffer!"
Tang Tianjue said calmly: "Fifth uncle, the second ancestor said they were in seclusion, but everyone knows that they are fighting injuries. I found a miracle doctor to treat them, but they were too late to be happy, so how could they be angry?"
Wu Bei was surprised: There are actually two ancestors of the Tang Sect?
Tang Tianhe smiled and said: "Sir, our Tang Sect has been around for more than a thousand years and has a profound heritage. These two ancestors are our Tang Sect's Dong Ancestor and Geng Ancestor respectively. Dong Ancestor is from the Tang Dynasty and was the master of the sect. He has great swordsmanship.
Xuan, he has cultivated to the third level of Earthly Immortality. But later, something went wrong with his cultivation in this realm. After he fell into an illusion, he has been immersed in his own world and has not woken up to this day."
"The other one is Gengzu, a native of the Yuan Dynasty. He is the first young master Tang Taigeng. Gengzu's cultivation level is also in the third realm of earthly immortals. However, he was seriously injured by the national master of the Yuan Dynasty and has never recovered." This chapter has been completed!
