Kong Ming smiled and shook his head and said: "Maybe it's because the Third Ancestor thinks that I am more obedient, so he asked me to help him water the flowers and fertilizer tomorrow! Even if this is not a chance, I can do something for the Third Ancestor. That’s what it should be!”
When Kong Ming said this, Kong Qingyun and Kong Yingjie looked even more envious. Kong Yingjie shook his head repeatedly and said: "Third Ancestor, he has always regarded his flowers as his lifeblood, and no one else would even touch them. But now he is letting you help him water and fertilize his flowers with confidence! This kind of treatment can't be tolerated." It's really rare. It seems that the third ancestor has made up his mind to pass on your mantle! Hehe, what this kid Qingyun said just now is right. If I don't take advantage of you in terms of title now, in the future, even I will I need to call you senior!"
Kong Ming waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Uncle Jie, how can this be done? If this is really the case, wouldn't it mean killing my nephew?"
Kong Yingjie smiled very freely and said: "How can this be impossible? In Tianyuan Continent, the strong have always been respected! If you can become the direct disciple of the third ancestor, you can be regarded as the future strong man of the Kong family. You should be Enjoy the respect that matches your status! Ming'er, I can call you this now because my strength is above yours, not because I am older than you or have a higher bloodline than you! One day, I will be your When your cultivation far exceeds mine, even if I respectfully call you senior, why not? You must keep in mind that if the respect you receive is exchanged for your own strength, then you will deserve it. !”
Kong Ming pondered for a moment, then nodded solemnly and said, "Uncle Jie, you have learned a lesson!"
Kong Yingjie smiled and nodded, and said: "While I can still show off as an elder in front of you, you can follow me to the Kong family mansion. There are many family elders waiting to see you. ! Hehe, maybe it won’t be long before many of these elders, including me, will call you elder!”
After saying this, Kong Yingjie turned back and glared at Kong Qingyun, saying: "You're lucky this time. After today's shift, I'll give you a day off! But you have to be honest." One o'clock, just stay at home and practice well, don't go outside to cause trouble! The Imperial Capital has not been very peaceful recently!"
Kong Qingyun nodded with a smile. As for whether he would really listen to Kong Yingjie's words and stay at home honestly, only God knows.
After Kong Yingjie finished instructing Kong Qingyun, he saw his robe sleeves flicked, and a ball of blue light appeared around him, flying into the air with Kong Ming wrapped around him, and soon disappeared into the horizon.
Kong Qingyun looked at Kong Yingjie who was flying away quickly, with a look of envy on his face, because he didn't know if he would ever break through to the marshal realm. Only then would he be able to enjoy the fun of flying! However, when he thought about tomorrow's holiday, Kong Qingyun became happy again and returned to the guard post humming a ditty...
The speed at which Kong Yingjie and Kong Ming flew in the sky did not reach the limit, so the two of them could talk easily and inform each other about what happened to them after returning to the Kong family.
After hearing what happened to Kong Ming after meeting the third ancestor of the Kong family, Kong Yingjie laughed and said that Kong Ming must have been favored by the third ancestor, because he was able to stay in the small garden of the third ancestor for more than an hour. This was definitely the case for other disciples of the Kong family. It was a treatment he had never enjoyed before. Even Kong Yingjie had only had the opportunity to enter the small garden three times in so many years, and the combined time was less than the time it took to make a cup of tea!
The heaven and earth energy in the small garden is pure and special. Practicing the corresponding exercises will definitely have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. Who wouldn't want to practice in a place like this? It is a pity that the small garden has been carefully taken care of by the third ancestor of the Kong family. Without his permission, who would dare to enter the small garden? Judging from the various situations after Kong Ming met the third ancestor of the Kong family, if nothing unexpected happens, Kong Ming should soon become the direct disciple of the third ancestor of the Kong family!
As for Kong Yingjie, during this period of time, he made a detailed report to the family head and the Council of Elders about what happened in the wild forest. Everyone was very surprised that the top being in the wild forest suddenly violated the agreement and revealed his projection clone in public. After discussion, it was decided that the clan leader Kong Fanshu should report the matter to several ancestors, and let the strong men at their level It’s up to the person to decide the matter.
In addition, everyone expressed great concern for Kong Ming and wanted to see this genius-like boy with their own eyes! Moreover, Kong Ming has personally experienced everything that happened in the wild forest, and we should be able to get some inside information from him.
As for Kong Ming being taken away by the Third Patriarch himself as soon as he arrived at the Kong family, Kong Fanshu, the head of the family, was not particularly surprised, because he knew that the Third Patriarch had paid great attention to this young man since he knew about Kong Ming's existence. Now that he knows When he comes to our house, why not go and see him in person? Now let’s see if this kid Kong Ming has the opportunity to win the favor of the Third Ancestor! If everything goes well, the Third Patriarch will be able to have a direct disciple, and the Kong family may have one more top powerhouse in the future!
Kong Fanshu didn't have the slightest grudge against Kong Ming's opportunity, because as the head of the Kong family, everything he considered was for the strength and development of the Kong family. He could not wait to see more talented young people like Kong Ming. The better! Moreover, as the head of the family and the prime minister of the empire, Kong Fanshu was extremely busy with his affairs and did not have much time to devote to cultivation. His cultivation level had been stagnant in recent years. However, being the head of the Kong family does not require you to be particularly talented in cultivation. As long as you can grasp the overall situation and allow the family to develop healthily and well, you will be considered a qualified parent. And Kong Fanshu's performance in this regard 's extremely outstanding. Therefore, even if Kong Fanshu's cultivation level has not improved in these decades, his position as head of the family is still as stable as Mount Tai. He is one of the most influential people not only in the Kong family, but also in the Cangnan Empire!
In addition to Kong Fanshu, there are also seven or eight figures from the Presbyterian Church waiting for Kong Ming. Three of them, together with Kong Yingjie, are listed as one of the "Five Elders of the Kong Family" and are important figures with real power in the Kong Family. As for the last one of the "Five Elders of the Kong Family", he is not in the imperial capital at this time because he has something to do. Kong Ming will not be able to see him in a short period of time.
There is another important person in the Kong family, that is, the chief elder of the Presbyterian Church. However, he has been in seclusion recently. If Kong Ming wants to meet him, he can only wait until he comes out of seclusion.
The distance from the inner courtyard to the Kong Family Mansion is not too far. After Kong Yingjie and Kong Ming flew for a while, they were already in the sky above the Kong Family Mansion!
The Kong family mansion is said to be a mansion, it might as well be said to be a city!
At this time, Kong Ming and Kong Yingjie were in the air. Looking around, they saw houses one after another, extending to the end of their sight. In the large and small courtyards composed of countless houses, people are constantly walking back and forth. According to preliminary estimates, there are at least more than 100,000 people living in this mansion!
With such a scale, even some small towns cannot compare with it. This shows how powerful the Kong family is.
Kong Ming knew that there were only a few thousand cultivators in the Kong family, and the rest of the non-cultivators were servants and servants serving the Kong family. However, there were almost no Yuan masters among the cultivators who were qualified to stay in the Kong family. Those who are below the realm can be assigned an independent courtyard. At most, only those with advanced cultivation can be assigned to a larger courtyard and enjoy more abundant family resources.
Now that Kong Ming has come to our family, he will definitely be assigned a courtyard. Considering that Kong Ming is likely to become the direct disciple of the third ancestor, the courtyard assigned to him is definitely one of the courtyards with the best conditions in the family. By then, there will be more than a hundred servants serving in the courtyard!
Even if Kong Ming doesn't like luxury by nature, among wealthy families, some ostentation must be done. Otherwise, you will be looked down upon by outsiders!
When they reached the sky above the mansion, if they continued flying, it would be disrespectful to the people living in the mansion, so Kong Yingjie and Kong Ming fell from the sky and entered directly through the main entrance of the mansion.
Said to be the main entrance of the mansion, it is actually just an archway dozens of meters wide, slightly smaller than the one at the entrance of Chongwen District that was given by the founding emperor Hu Shuo. This archway is self-made by the Kong family. Only when you enter this archway can you be considered a member of the Kong family!
Kong Yingjie led Kong Ming through the archway and soon came to a small courtyard. In this small courtyard, two guards were watching. After seeing Kong Yingjie, they naturally gave a big salute to the family elder. Kong Yingjie nodded slightly to them, and then took Kong Ming to the hall of the courtyard, and there was a small teleportation array in the middle of the hall.
Kong Yingjie explained to Kong Ming that because the Kong family mansion is so large, just walking around in the mansion is an extremely time-consuming task. Therefore, small teleportation arrays are set up in various important places in the mansion to facilitate the movement of people from the Kong family. Of course, the higher the authority, the more teleportation coordinates they have and the more places they can go. If it were an ordinary Kong family member, they could only teleport in a few less important areas.
As one of the "Five Elders of the Kong Family", Kong Yingjie is considered a high-ranking person in the Kong family. There is almost no place he cannot go in the Kong family's mansion. Now, the head of the family, Kong Fanshu, and several elders of the Kong family are waiting for Kong Ming in the meeting hall. Kong Yingjie naturally leads Kong Ming to teleport to the meeting hall.
