The Taoist boy sent a letter to Elder Shui. He took it and saw it was a letter from Elder Duan of Tianwai Peak. Tang Yue once asked for the Xuanming Fire Bead for him in Xuanwu Town. Tianwai Peak mainly practices magic, and its strength is the highest in the entire Wuji Mountain.
Ranked among the top three, Elder Duan's Fiery Fire Technique is even more famous throughout Liuzhou Continent.
When she opened it, she 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."
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 would always be grateful to others if they were kind to him.
Thanks a lot, Tang Yue finally solved his long-standing problem - his daughter's illness was a hindrance to him.
So it shouldn't just be a gift that is a regular gift.
She wasn't coveting the thank you gift, it was just a little strange. She also recalled the behavior of Kunwu City in recent years, and found that there were indeed no major problems, and she had not 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 was speechless for a moment. This repayment of gratitude was too solemn. Recognizing the adopted daughter in the ancestral hall meant that Elder Duan had to fulfill his fatherly duties to A-Yue. And when A-Yue entered the Duan family ancestral hall, she became more than half of the Duan family.
, can speak well 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.
Moreover, 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 capable of being possessed by the True God Suzaku.
"A'rou, I think this is a good thing. With the help of Elder Duan, the Luo family doesn't dare 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 for a moment like Tang Wenhua, maybe he was eager to be on good terms with the Duan family. The Duan family produced spiritual jade of extremely high quality, and he would get close to the Duan family every year and festival in order to lower the price of spiritual jade.
"I can make the decision. I'll tell A Yue soon and ask her to go to Duan's house tomorrow."
Tang Yue knew at night that she was about to have a sister and a foster father. She didn't understand Duan Yitang's character, but after thinking about it, Elder Shui was an upright elder, and she thought her daughter's character would not be bad, so she accepted it.
this 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. 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 presented her gift, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Elder Duan. How are you doing lately?"
Elder Duan had a smile in his eyes, "Not bad, Ah Yue is getting more and more beautiful as she grows." He directly called Tang Yue's nickname affectionately.
Tang Yue turned to Duan Yitang again. This sister was about fourteen or fifteen years old. She had a 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 yet suitable for cultivation.
"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 people say that she has the talent to practice Taoism. She has been ill for so many years, and a while ago she thought she was going to die soon. Naturally, she did not dare to think about Taoism. Now that she can recover, of course she must 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 could she bear this gift? "Sister Yitang, you don't have to be like this. I am also doing my best to 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 deliver treasures to my sister. This is our fate."
Well, she felt that the fantasy novels she read in her previous life were not in vain, and the lines were all picked up at her fingertips.
Duan Yitang laughed and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Yes, we are destined to have this kind of sisterhood."
Elder Duan watched the interaction between the newly minted sisters not far away and felt relieved. He thought for a long time before deciding to repay Tang Yue by recognizing her as his adopted daughter.
The main reason is that I feel 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. Tang Yue happened to be coming to Wuji Mountain to study, so the two of them could take care of each other.
Anyway, he doesn't know many Wujishan juniors with good moral character. 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 Duan's house. Before, she was too sick to get out of bed. At most, she was a servant. The handyman pushed her to the yard. She had never left Tianwai Peak.
In fact, she was a little nervous, and thinking that Tang Yue was with her, she felt a little more at ease.
Elder Duan took his daughter to fly with his sword, while Tang Yue still sat on Elder Shui's five-color deer. Her grandfather specially asked her to bring it, so that the Duan family would respect his face and not let rude people rush into him.
Tang Yue.
The Duan family is not located 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's mansion and waited for the child to deliver the 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.
Elder Duan raised his hand to the woman and bowed, "Mother, how are you doing lately?"
"You have not been home for the past fifteen years and have worked hard for your daughter, and now you come 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 recognized her as his adopted daughter.
However, 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 expressed her reassurance with his eyes.
Elder Duan apologized: "Mom, it wasn't me in the past, but I was also worried about Yitang. I believe you understand my feelings as a parent."
"Now that Yitang is well, she can practice Taoism like a normal monk. I also brought back a foster daughter with good character. Today our family is reunited, so we should be happy."
The grandmother of the Duan family snorted coldly, but she didn't want to show her son any face, and 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 full of energy. He stared at the three people who walked in.
"Naughty son, you still dare to come back? Look what you have done all these years? You have ignored your family for your personal affairs." He seemed a little angry, but he was not really angry.
Tang Yue understood clearly that it was probably because Elder Duan had not returned home for fifteen years and did not help the family's development for the sake of his relationship with his late wife and his daughter's life. His parents were not very happy, and of course they could not look good upon meeting him.
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 that he can 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 reconciled, "It's a good thing that the second brother is back. I see that even though the second brother is running around, he has not fallen behind in his cultivation. Now I can't see the second brother's cultivation."
Elder Duan replied to the woman, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I have now reached the first level of Dongxu."
Tang Yue was recalling the relationships between the characters that Elder Duan had introduced to her just now at Tianwai Mountain.
His mother's name is Xiulanxin, and his sister-in-law's name is Xiufumei. They both come from the Xiu family, which was originally a large family, but due to poor management, it has now become 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. The person sitting next to Mrs. Xiu was indeed the eldest aunt of the Duan family.
The two of them saluted the seniors of the Duan family one by one. They had met so many of their peers 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, and today is the 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. Now anyone can become a member of Duan's family.
