At this time, inside the wide courtyard.

"Ahem, everyone's here. ”

The voice was not loud, but it resounded in everyone's ears, so that the children of the Xiang family in the courtyard were immediately silenced, because the owner of the voice was none other than the current head of the Xiang family, a generation of martial arts marquis of the Dayue Dynasty - Xiang Yufeng!

Under the gaze of the crowd, an old man with crane hair and a childish face slowly walked into the courtyard, wearing a simple linen robe, under a Chinese face, his face was still slightly pale, but he still did not look angry and arrogant, so that some of the children of the Xiang family did not dare to look directly at this old man for a long time, not only because of the strong martial arts aura on this old man's body, but also because everyone had more or less heard of his fiery temper.

And beside Xiang Yufeng, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe followed behind, very similar to Xiang Yufeng, and also with a national face, it was Xiang Tiannan, the head of the Xiang family.

In addition, behind them, seven other elders followed left and right in turn.

Because Xiang Yu's father, the great elder of the Xiang family who doesn't care about the world, is not there, so on the left, the first is the second elder Xiang Yong in a gray robe, who looks old, and he is also the only old man among the elders of the Xiang family. And behind him are Xiang Yu's third and fourth uncles, Xiang Tianxi and Xiang Tianbei.

As for the right side, the first one is a middle-aged man in a white robe, with an extraordinary bearing and a gentle appearance, it is the fourth elder Xiang Guangwen, and the eighth elder Xiang Guangwu are both Xiang Yong's sons. The second in turn, Xiang Yu is not a stranger, his appearance is very similar to Xiang Chuan, his name is Xiang Chen, and he is the fifth elder of the Xiang family. After that, it was the sixth elder Xiang Chong who was on the back of the tiger and the sharp-eyed seventh elder Xiang Fujun, and finally, the eighth elder Xiang Guangwu, as the younger brother of the fourth elder, he was dressed in a blue suit, but he was a little rough, and his hair was also very thin, which was impressive.

Xiang Yufeng smiled kindly, looked around slightly, and couldn't help nodding.

Because of the arrival of Xiang Yufeng and the elders, the others were suddenly afraid of making any noise, and they all stood honestly in place.

"Come in with me. Xiang Yufeng looked at everyone present, his eyes stayed on Xiang Yu for a moment, and then said to everyone.

After that, everyone began to follow behind Xiang Yufeng and the others unhurriedly, and entered the ancestral hall in an orderly manner.

The size of the space in the ancestral hall is much larger than the normal family ancestral hall, not only can accommodate the three or four hundred people present, but it feels like it is not a problem to double it, so it is not difficult to see that the former Xiang family must be prosperous. In the center of the ancestral hall, there are more than a dozen rows of spiritual seats, which are written on them, all of which are the names of the ancestors of the Xiang family.

Xiang Yu glanced up slightly, although he came here once a year, every time he saw the prestige of these ancestors, he still felt honored in his heart.

There were hundreds of futons in the ancestral hall, and everyone was lined up in turn, except for Xiang Yufeng and the head of the family and a few elders in the front, there were only Xiang Yu and the other three sons in the second row, and then the children of the Zong family were in the back.

When Xiang Tiannan distributed the prepared tower incense to everyone's hands, everyone's expressions became more and more respectful, staring at the spiritual position in front of them, and they didn't dare to come out, but when they found the ancestors of their own line, their faces were still a little rosy with excitement.

Everyone stood tall with their heads held high, Xiang Yufeng came out of the crowd, his eyes were extremely solemn, and then he turned around and glanced at the audience, and in an instant, the needle drop could be heard.

After a short silence, Xiang Yufeng suddenly spoke: "My Xiang family has been inherited for thousands of years, and the glory of our ancestors has been engraved into the bloodline! It is also since five hundred years ago that it has been completely rooted in Dayue and has gone through three generations of Jin Ge Iron Horse to lay down the prestige ......of my Xiang family."

Xiang Yufeng's majestic voice spread slowly, although the voice was not loud, but it made every Xiang family child present have a sense of immersion, and the magnificent deeds of the ancestors touched the heartstrings of everyone present.

Xiang Yu was also listening very carefully, especially when he heard his grandfather Xiang Yufeng talk about the ancestor who ranked first in the family, although his deeds were no longer verifiable, but it was said that he was a powerful man who was once invincible in the world. This made Xiang Yu extremely fascinated, but he didn't expect that among his ancestors, there was such a strong person.

And the children of the Xiang family present are the same, listening to Xiang Yufeng's story, all of them are a little enthusiastic, even if it is Xiang Huanzhen, who has always been moody, at this time his face can't help showing a touch of admiration, the brilliant deeds of the ancestors are not a kind of glory for every child of the Xiang family.

“...... Now, start offering incense, worship the ancestors, may my Xiang family prosper from generation to generation!

When the voice fell, Xiang Yufeng took the lead in lighting the tower incense, placed it on top of his head, and knelt on the futon, followed by Xiang Tiannan and the elders.

Immediately afterwards, the children of the Xiang family knelt down one after another and began to bow three times and knock up.

"After the salute, get up. After saluting, Xiang Yufeng got up and said to the children of the Xiang family behind him.

Hearing this, everyone got up and successively inserted the incense sticks in their hands into the incense burner.

Until half an hour passed, when the last very young child inserted the tower incense in his hand, some of the children of the Xiang family who were watching were rubbing their hands one by one, with a look of impatience on their faces, because what happened next was the highlight that the young children of the Xiang family were looking forward to.

"Okay, after the ancestor worship is over, everyone will go to the center of the martial arts arena first, and the test will start later. The tower incense was pervasive, Xiang Tiannan's eyes were like torches, and his eyes were fixed on everyone and said.

Hearing this, all the children of the Xiang family suddenly became excited, the family year-end comparison was finally about to begin, and this year's reward was extraordinarily rich, so they had to pay attention to it.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the children of the Xiang family, who were extremely excited, rushed out of the door in twos and threes, and they couldn't wait for a long time, vowing to shine in this year's year.

"Brother Yu, let's go too. ”

Beside Xiang Yu, Xiang Yunji also looked happy, and pulled Xiang Yu out as soon as he pulled him.

Helpless, Xiang Yu smiled bitterly and turned his head to look at Xiang Huanzhen and Xiang Liugong, and said hello, he knew that the two of them had already broken through the physical training realm, and there was no need to participate in this annual competition. Xiang really looked as usual, only to see Xiang Liugong make a gesture of encouragement and watch the two leave.

After a while, the ancestral hall was almost empty, only Xiang Yufeng and Xiang Tiannan were walking and chatting.

"Tiannan, why are only the little ones who practice the physical realm allowed to participate in the year-end competition this year, isn't it unfair for you to say that you are unfair. Xiang Yufeng looked at Xiang Tiannan and asked.

"No, father, because as early as before, as long as the juniors above the Houtian Realm broke through, they would get several times more rewards from the family than before, and the price was to give up this family year-on-year comparison, and instead devote their energy to the hunting competition of the Dynasty Academy, the top ten rewards are much richer than the family's year-on-year rewards, who would do this kind of thing, so I made preparations early, so that the juniors above the Houtian Realm would give up this year-on-year comparison. Xiang Tiannan explained on the side.

"I see, but the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and I hope they can make a name for themselves in the dynasty. Xiang Yufeng stroked his beard when he heard this, and sighed slightly.

"Is my father worried about my eldest brother?" asked Xiang Tiannan, who bowed down.

"Worry about what he's going to do! When this rabbit cub comes back, I'm going to break his leg, for so many years, I don't care about Xiaoyu, is it a bit of a father's responsibility? Speaking of Xiang Tiandong, Xiang Yu's spirit didn't come to one place, and even his beard shook slightly.

"Hehe, father, don't blame, the eldest brother is just in a hurry, and he just lost his square inch, and he will be fine. Xiang Tiannan hurriedly laughed, comforted the old man, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for not opening which pot to mention, maybe the old man was angry and sprinkled himself.

"Alas, let's go! I'll see how these babies are cultivating this year. "Xiang Yufeng Road.

"Yes......" Xiang Tiannan also hurriedly followed.
