Just as Luo Xue was hesitating, the elders saw her, their faces changed immediately, and they hurried over.
Luo Xue was shocked. She thought she had done something wrong and was being targeted by the elders.
Could it be that the previous incident in the Blood Sea Secret Realm was exposed
That's not right, Nangong Ling should explain it to them...
But before Luo Xue could make any move, these elders had already come in front of her, and without saying a word, they all knelt down with a plop.
"Greetings... Ancestor!"
The elders blocked the view from everyone and spoke in a low voice.
For a moment, Luo Xue's mind went blank, but she quickly reacted.
"Oh, I think you must have misunderstood..." Luo Xue said embarrassedly.
“I didn’t expect it to be you... the ancestor of the Nangong clan,” the leading elder raised his head, tears welling up on his wrinkled face, trembling with excitement, “This throbbing from deep in my blood... can’t be wrong!”
The Nangong family relies on bloodline inheritance from generation to generation. Although there are occasional phenomena of atavism and purification, overall, it is gradually becoming thinner.
In other words, the older the existence, the purer the bloodline, the stronger the power, and the heavier the oppression on those below them.
The little girl in front of him not only looked exactly like the portrait handed down in the ancestral hall, but even the feeling of blood pressure was extremely real. Even the elders of the clan could feel the presence of pressure and their breathing stagnated slightly.
The only ones who can do this are the ancestors within three generations; even the great-grandmother cannot do it.
"Please come back to the clan, ancestor!"
The elders all lowered their heads, leaving Luo Xue stunned and a little at a loss.
In fact, Nangong's status in the Nangong clan is extremely high, so high that even if she is willing to play the game of the ancestor appearing in spirit, countless clansmen are willing to dedicate their bodies and souls. This is something that no ancestor of any ancient clan can do.
Being able to witness their ancestor's reappearance in the world with their own eyes, the elders of the Nangong clan, who were already close to the legend, were more aware of the importance of this matter than ordinary Nangong disciples.
Just as Luo Xue was hesitating about how to deal with the situation in front of her, an old and plain voice sounded behind the elders.
"Everyone, please don't get so excited... It's a bit embarrassing for the ancestor."
Chapter 214: The "Cage" Reappears, News from the Four Regions of Kyushu
When this old voice sounded, all the elders of the tribe quickly stood up and made way for the owner of the voice.
A hunched figure slowly emerged, and an old lady, leaning on a cane, walked out tremblingly. A heavy aura of desolation enveloped her whole body. She was the great-grandmother with the highest seniority in the Nangong family.
The elder of the clan rushed over and supported the slow-moving great-grandmother.
"Grandma, why did you come out in person?"
Although his strength is much stronger than that of his great-grandmother, the Nangong family is not a family that respects strength alone. The great-grandmother has a high status, and even the elders of the family will pay their respects to her every time they see her.
"What are you talking about... Since the ancestor has appeared, I naturally have to come out to pay my respects to him."
Taizu Lao raised her head slightly, looked at Luo Xue with turbid eyes, but hidden a bit of joy, and stopped Luo Xue from telling the truth.
Luo Xue opened her mouth, but finally closed it again and nodded slightly to the elders.
"It seems that the great-grandmother of the Nangong clan knows my identity... but does not want to make it public." Luo Xue thought to herself.
After getting confirmation from Great Ancestor, the elders became even more convinced of Luo Xue's identity, and their eyes were filled with burning respect as they looked at her.
If even the great-grandmother could make a mistake, then no one in this world would be able to truly confirm the identity of the Nangong family's ancestor.
"Ancestor, are you here to return to your clan..."
One of the elders came closer trembling, almost prostrating himself before Luo Xue.
The other elders seemed to feel similarly. Luo Xue felt helpless and embarrassed. She could only stand there frozen, not knowing what to say.
Finally, it was Grandma Taizu who spoke up and helped her out.
"You've been away from this world for a long time, I'm afraid you need some time to get used to the real world again... Maybe the situation is different," Grandma Taizu said calmly, "Why don't I take care of you? I'd like to trouble you to stay at my humble home for the next few days, how about that?"
"sure."
Luo Xue nodded quickly. She wished someone could help her. Since her great-grandmother had come out in person, Luo Xue walked down the stairs.
Although the elders seemed to have some objections to this decision, after thinking for a while, they still made way for Luo Xue.
"Let go, Xiao Pu. I'm not at the stage where I need someone to support me before I can walk." Great Grandma glanced at the elder who was supporting her and said, "The ancestor and I have something to discuss. You... just go back first."
The clan elder looked at Luo Xue, then glanced at the great-grandmother, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Although this "Nangong clan ancestor" is proving her authenticity in every aspect, it still feels a bit weird...
However, since Taizu Lao has spoken, he can only carry out the order.
After all, Taizu-lao is his great-great-great-grandmother... .
"Wait, I need your help with something."
Seeing that the elders were about to leave, Luo Xue quickly spoke to keep them.
"Um?"
Not only was Grandma Taizu stunned for a moment, but other elders in the clan were also slightly bewildered, not knowing what the Nangong clan ancestor was trying to do.
"Please give me your orders."
The patriarch calmed himself down and asked with a bow.
"Please give me some change... I haven't paid for the food I just bought at the stall yet."
Luo Xue coughed twice awkwardly. She had already said she would pay, so she couldn't go back on her word, right
The elders of the tribe looked at each other, and finally looked at the small vendors not far away, only then did they confirm that the ancestor was not joking.
"this... "
The first order given by the ancestor after he returned to the clan was to ask for money...
After a slight hesitation, the elders reached into their pockets and carried out the ancestor's order.
Unfortunately, the elders in the clan were all of high status and hardly had small change to exchange for coins. It was only one of the elders who kept some change in the storage ring in order to buy some toys for the newborn.
"Thank you very much."
After Luo Xue took the change, she handed the spirit stone to the elder and then turned and walked towards the snack stand.
"Miss, what did you just do..."
The peddler looked curiously at the shadow not far away. Just now when the elders met Luo Xue, they had already set up an isolation barrier to block the outside world from prying eyes.
So the vendor saw nothing and could only guess.
"It's okay, my family is here to see you." Luo Xue said casually. She picked out some change and handed it to the vendor. "Here, take the extra as a tip."
"...Okay, thank you Miss."
The vendor took the change with a smile, then waved his hand and watched Luo Xue leave.
At that moment, all shielding measures were lifted, the elders appeared in unison, and all eyes turned to the vendor.
In an instant, the vendor's pupils shrank sharply.
"He, they..."
Are they the family members of this young lady
But here... why are there several Nangong clan elders
Nangong Holy City is a subsidiary of Nangong Holy Land. During the annual festival, several elders would come to preside over the ceremonies, and the vendors had certainly seen some of them.
At this time, among the eldest lady's family, there were these elders... They were standing very far back, and seemed to have a lower status.
Judging from their respectful attitude towards this young lady...
The vendor's hand holding the spirit stone felt numb for a moment.
What level of big shot is this person
Great Grandma's gaze was always on Luo Xue. Even though Luo Xue's behavior just now was a little out of the ordinary, she did not say anything to stop her. She just stared at Luo Xue silently.
Her eyes didn't look like she was looking at a junior.
Instead... it's more like looking at an elder.
“Like... so much like...”
"No, she is now the ancestor."
Great Grandma slowly closed her eyes. She had carried the last trace of the soul left by her ancestors countless times, sensing the existence of the silent ancestors.
Now in this vast world, apart from Luo Xue, no one knows Nangong family better than her.
Grandma Taizu opened her eyes again and Luo Xue was already standing beside her, looking a little nervous.
At her command, the other elders had all left. No one left any means of spying, and no one dared to disturb the meeting between the great-grandmother and the ancestor.
"Hello..."
Luo Xue really didn't know how to say hello, so she just tried to say hello.
"Your name is... Luo Xue?" Grandma's wrinkled face relaxed slightly, and she forced out a kind smile, "Ling'er told me everything about you. You did a great job. Nangong will be grateful to you forever."
"It's actually not bad..."
Luo Xue felt a little embarrassed to be praised so directly.
"In fact, you don't have to be so reserved. Since the ancestors have already recognized you, it's fine for you to use the soul she left behind." Grandma Taizu said calmly.
"What's more, the reason why your body and soul were destroyed was the price you paid to save Nangong. A mere soul thought is not enough to make up for you. If you need anything else in the future, Nangong will do his best to help you."
When Taizu Lao said these words, she had been deliberately avoiding eye contact with Luo Xue. There was no other way. Luo Xue now looked exactly like Nangong. Except for her consciousness, she was no different from Nangong in other aspects.
Although Great Grandma had never witnessed the unrivaled elegance of her first ancestor, what had supported her over the long years, apart from her mission, was the companionship of the Nangong family's soul.
For a moment, it was a little difficult to face.
"Yes, that's clear."
Luo Xue nodded. She could vaguely sense that Great Grandma was looking at her with a strange look in her eyes, but she was tactful enough not to ask anything.
"By the way, I wonder if the little princess I mentioned to Madam... Miss Wan'er, is now..."
"That little girl from the imperial family?" Grandma Taizu was stunned for a moment and said, "It seems that she did not follow Wan'er back to the holy land..."
"ah?"
Luo Xue was stunned for a moment. The reason why she told Nangong Wan'er the location of Dugu Xue was because she wanted the Nangong clan to take Xue'er back. Princess Xue, who had lived a life of luxury since childhood, should not be used to the wilderness.
So Luo Xue came directly to the Nangong Holy Land and did not go to the wilderness.
"Wan'er told me something, it seemed to be her own thoughts..."
Great Grandma told Luo Xue the whole story. After listening to it, Luo Xue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"This silly girl..."
It doesn't matter where you wait, it's more comfortable to come to Nangong Holy Land.
However, Luo Xue was well aware of Dugu Xue's weak stubbornness, and it would be impossible for Nangong Wan'er to convince her.
"Don't worry, there are some Nangong guards protecting her secretly. As the little princess of the imperial family, even if she decides to give up her identity, we cannot let her encounter any accidents near the Nangong Holy Land." Grandma Taizu added.
"Thank you, great-grandma." Luo Xue bowed.
"... It's just my job."
After receiving Luo Xue's greeting, Taizu seemed a little uncomfortable, and her staggering steps involuntarily quickened a little.
“However,” Grandma Taizu calmed down and said in a slightly deeper tone, “Since you are now using the soul of your ancestors and have come to the Nangong Holy Land, there are some things you must know.”
"What's the matter?" Luo Xue asked.
Grandma Taizu was silent for a while and said,
"I'll explain it to you in detail when we get there."
... ..
The disturbance caused by the ancestor's apparition soon passed, and the elders of the clan also received news from the great-grandmother that the ancestor of the Nangong clan could only stay in the world for a period of time and could not return to the clan.
Although this is a regrettable thing, many people also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They could all see the strength of the ancestor's soul consciousness. It was not even at the Yuhua realm, so it would be difficult for him to convince others if he stood out.
