Chapter 144 Two happy events
Song Qingming, who had just arrived at the Song family meeting room, found that the clan leader Song Changfeng and several elders had been waiting here for a long time.
The seat of the clan leader at the top was empty for some reason. Song Changfeng added another chair and sat a little further away.
"Sixth uncle, what are you doing?"
"Qingming, you are now the only foundation-building cultivator in the clan. The position of clan leader should be handed over to you. I have discussed this with several elders and no one has any objection."
According to the traditional rules of the Weiguo cultivation world, the position of clan leader of each major cultivation family is handed over to the cultivator with the highest cultivation in the entire family. After all, the cultivation world has always been the strong only respected, and Song Qingming still knows this.
Although Song Qingming has not completely gotten used to his current identity as a foundation-building cultivator, he has been back for more than half a month, and he has more or less felt the change in the attitude of some clan members towards him.
The clan leader and several elders in the meeting room are basically elders he is familiar with. Now the look in Song Qingming's eyes also makes him feel that it is different from before.
"Sixth uncle, it's not that I don't want to be the patriarch, but I don't know enough about managing the family affairs. It's better to wait until I am familiar with it before talking about this matter."
"Since you said so, I can help you manage it first, but you still have to sit on this chair prepared for you first. Before you take over as the patriarch, you still have to serve as the chief elder of the family. From now on, starting with us elders, the family must also pay attention to some rules of the cultivation world, so that the clan members will not know the difference between the superiors and the inferiors when they see other foundation-building cultivators down the mountain, and cause trouble for no reason."
The clan members on the mountain are all people Song Qingming is familiar with. Everyone, including himself, has not felt too much change in his identity as a foundation-building cultivator. When talking to him, they still treat him as a peer or junior as usual.
This is also because the Song family has not produced a foundation-building cultivator for hundreds of years. It is normal that everyone did not react at once. Otherwise, if it were in other cultivation families with foundation-building cultivators, such a thing would never happen.
After hearing what Song Changfeng said, Song Qingming did not hesitate this time and sat directly forward to the seat at the head.
After Song Qingming sat down, Song Changfeng slowly spoke to everyone: "The reason why I invited everyone here this time is because I received a letter from the Huang family yesterday. Huang Shengyue, the ancestor of the Huang family, will visit our Funiu Mountain in a few days. Everyone, tell me what their purpose is this time."
"What other purpose can there be? They must be coming for Qingming. I guess they still want to win us over like the Qian family." The thirteenth uncle Song Changxiong, who has always been straightforward, quickly expressed his thoughts.
"Changxiong is right. I think they should mean the same thing. After all, we were originally vassals of the Huang family. I just don't know what conditions they will give this time." The fifth aunt Song Changling, the elder of the family affairs, also echoed.
Song Changfeng nodded and continued: "Now that everyone knows the purpose of the Huang family to win us over, we still need to ask everyone's opinions. Should we continue to stand with the Huang family like the Qian family?" "The Qian family almost died with the Huang family. I think we should weigh it. When the Huang family comes tomorrow, we will see what conditions they can offer. If they don't like us, we can also stand on the side of the Gao family." "We can't do this. The Huang family is so powerful. I heard that Huang Shengxin is already in seclusion to form a pill. If we are not clear about our attitude, we may suffer a great loss in the future." Everyone talked about it for a long time, and finally chose to stand with the Huang family. Song Qingming also agreed with this result. After all, the Huang family is now powerful. As far as the Song family is concerned, Song Qingming has just built his foundation. He really doesn't have many chips to put on the stage to influence the situation in the entire Qinghe County. Making a safer choice at the moment is what Song Qingming wants most. Just as everyone made a decision, another invitation was sent to Mount Funiushan, but this time it was not for Song Changfeng, the head of the Song family, but was specifically for Song Qingming.
After opening it, he found that it was a post from the Gao family, inviting him to Qinghefang for a gathering.
Song Qingming looked at the three words Gao Yuyao written on the post, hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and handed the post directly to Song Changfeng.
"Tell your fourth uncle to go to Gao's restaurant and say that I'm going to retreat recently and can't go to the appointment."
Three days later, a sword light flew over Mount Funiushan, and a young woman in white came to the welcoming pavilion at the foot of Mount Funiushan on a flying sword.
The Song family cultivator who was guarding the mountain saw this scene and bowed to the ground immediately.
"Hello, senior. The clan leader is waiting in the meeting room. Please follow me up the mountain."
The young woman in white nodded and smiled softly, "Lead the way."
At the same time, Song Qingming and other Song family cultivators who received the news quickly gathered in the family meeting room.
Seeing Huang Shengyue in white clothes coming over, Song Changfeng hurriedly took Song Qingming and other Song family members out of the meeting room to greet him.
"Senior, you have condescended to come here. It is really an honor for our Funiu Mountain. We haven't had any distinguished guests come to the mountain for many years. Our Song family is also not well prepared. Please don't be disgusted and come to the hall to chat."
Huang Shengyue stopped and said: "Clan Chief Song is too polite. Although I have been in seclusion all year round and rarely go out, your and our families have been one for many years. I came here to take a look. It is also next door to my own house. Why do I dislike it?"
After the two exchanged pleasantries outside, Song Changfeng respectfully welcomed Huang Shengyue into the meeting hall.
"Senior, these are some spiritual tea plants cultivated by our Song family. They must not be able to attract the attention of our seniors, so please bear with me."
After Huang Shengyue sat down, she picked up the spirit tea in her hand, took a sip and nodded. She looked at Song Qingming who was sitting next to Song Changfeng and said, "I guess this is the little friend Song Qingming who just established the foundation not long ago. I didn't expect that little friend He looks so young and has a bright future! ”
After Song Qingming heard this, he quickly stood up and bowed and said: "Qingming, I have seen Senior Huang. I am not very talented. I am lucky enough to build the foundation because of the help of noble people. Please don't misunderstand me, Senior."
"Song Xiaoyou has established his foundation and become a member of our generation, so there is no need to refer to seniors anymore. Before leaving, I inquired with my friends in the Xiaoyao Sect and found out that Song Xiaoyou got Li Zhenren because he had made great contributions to the sect. Given the opportunity, Taoist friend Song was able to have this opportunity, which really makes me and other ascetic cultivators envious.
This time I visited Funiu Mountain on behalf of the Huang family, mainly for two things. Firstly, I came specifically to express my congratulations to fellow Taoist Song, and secondly, I also wanted to remind you of something. "
