Chapter 98: The Chu family's strain, Wang Dao's past
The last time Chu Xi went home and had a night talk with Chu Pojun, it not only clarified Chu Xi's personal future path, but also brought about many changes, quietly but quickly.
Since Chu Mingshang rescued the ghost tribe and founded the Chu family's Tianxing Secret Guard, they seem to be independent of each other with the ghost clan, but they are actually closely related.
The ghost clan has maintained the independence of the clan's existence, and the Celestial Star Secret Guard is a team dedicated to serving the Chu family in order to repay the favor, but the personnel are on the move.
Earlier, it was more Chu Mingshang who was protecting the ghost clan, and his people were not coercing him to repay him, so he proposed to distinguish the secret guard from the ghost clan.
But in the actual operation process, this is difficult to do, and the ghost clan also found that although their strength is getting stronger and stronger, in the current environment, it is better to rely on the Chu family.
Hundreds of years ago, the position of the patriarch of the ghost clan has always been hereditary, but since the decline of the clan, especially after the loss of soul skills, this rule has been broken.
The patriarch is replaced by the strongest person in the clan, of course, the virtue of the patriarch is also very important, so the strong people in the other clans elect an elder council to assist and balance the patriarch.
When the Celestial Star Dark Guard was first established, it was clearly stipulated that the members of the ghost clan who joined it could no longer serve as patriarchs or elders, and it was later abolished after judging the situation.
As the leader of the second-generation Celestial Star Dark Guard, Ghost Elder naturally took on the position of Patriarch Elder after abolishing the old rules.
Among today's ghost clans, the strength of the ghost elder can be ranked in the top three, and he has made a lot of contributions to the clan in his life, and even the soul skills that have been lost for hundreds of years have been recovered by him.
The previous patriarch appointed him as his successor during his lifetime, and he was supported by the Council of Elders and other clansmen.
Originally, the ghost elder should have returned to the clan to take over two months ago, but it happened that when the old patriarch died, he and Chu Xi disappeared together, so it was postponed for a few days.
The ghost elder only got the news from the clan after returning to the Chu family a month earlier, but considering that Chu Xi was about to go to Jinfeng, he was ready to protect him for a while.
After talking with Chu Xi all night, the old man on the Chu family's side also started to respond in time, and the first thing was to pass on the secret guard again.
The original arrangement was no longer appropriate, Chu Xi was determined to separate the Gu Xing grievances from the Chu family, and the burden of the Chu family was about to fall back on Chu Dong, and the Heavenly Star Secret Guard would also be entrusted to him.
After Chu Xi left Beijing, the old man and the ghost elder discussed it alone, the Chu family could not drag Chu Xi back, nor could he let him take on the fate of the family alone and be indifferent.
What the Chu family can do is to find another guardian and loyal subordinate for Chu Xi, and this person will completely withdraw from the ghost clan and the Heavenly Star Secret Guard.
Their common choice is Wang Dao, there is no more suitable person than him, in terms of strength, brain, and experience, they are all the best choices.
The key is that in this way, Wang Dao himself, the Chu family, and the ghost clan will all be satisfied, and it can be regarded as solving a trouble.
This has to start with Wang Dao's life experience, Wang Dao, as a member of the Heavenly Star Secret Guard, is different from other secret guards, and his appearance outside is all because of this.
Wang Dao's family has always been thriving among the ghost clan, with many talents, and there have been strong people from generation to generation.
After the ghost clan was attached to Chu Mingshang, the new patriarch of Gongxuan was Wang Dao's grandfather Wang Zhen, Wang Zhen had two sons, all of whom were pillars of the clan, and the eldest son, Wang Tian, was the old patriarch who had just died.
The second son, Wang Liang, that is, the father of Wang Dao, was called the patriarch Shuangjie with the ghost elder back then, and he was more outstanding than his brother and heroic.
With this family background, Wang Dao can be said to have been born with a good family background and a good growth environment, but the real situation is not the case, his growth is difficult and tortuous, and the relationship with the patriarch is not harmonious.
Because not long after he was born, his parents passed away one after another, not to mention his lonely life, and he was also blinded and bullied by the clan.
Because he is a hybrid of the ghost clan and the human race, this is nothing, the key is that his mother is still the daughter of the enemy of the ghost clan and the leader of the slave trading group.
The ghost ghost hooking operation of that year was first initiated by Wang Dao's grandfather Wang Zhen, and it was not a climate at first, but it was not really launched until the rise of Wang Liang's generation of young talents.
In this revenge operation, Wang Liang and Wang Dao's mother met and fell in love, but the two didn't know their details at first, and when they knew, they were already pregnant with Wang Dao.
The alien desolate clan does not restrict the clansmen from intermarrying with outsiders, but intermarriage with the daughter of the enemy is absolutely intolerable, although this woman does not have a good relationship with her father and breaks off contact very early, but after all, she has the same blood.
In this matter, Wang Liang had great disagreements with his father, brother, and clansmen, but he was determined, and he did everything possible to protect the woman from harm.
Ghost Shuo and Wang Liang are the two brightest stars in the tribe, and they are also the friends who know each other the most, and Ghost Shuo supports him, but he can't change the tribe's mind when he is in the Celestial Star Dark Guard.
Wang Liang simply moved out of the tribe and completed his tasks alone, while taking care of Wang Dao's mother and son, which also led to the fall of him and his wife.
Operation Ghost Hook faced a powerful slave cartel, and although Wang Liang was outstanding, he often risked his luck without the cooperation of the people in the tribe, and finally broke into a battle with his wife.
At this time, Wang Dao had just turned two years old, and his birth slightly eased the father-son relationship between Wang Liang and Wang Zhen.
Wang Dao was accepted by Wang Zhenhe's clan, which made Wang Liang feel that his wife could also be accepted in the future, so he worked harder for the clan, but who knew that it accelerated his own fall.
Wang Liang's fall made the Wang family and the clan very sad, and even blamed it on Wang Dao's mother, if it weren't for his appearance, it wouldn't have led to this series of events.
It is conceivable that the relationship between Wang Dao, who grew up in this background, and the clan will naturally not be harmonious, and he directly left the clan to join the Celestial Star Dark Guard after he became sensible.
He didn't like the other people in the dark guard, only his father's friend Ghost Shuo was recognized by him, and after learning from Ghost Shuo, he chose to join the army as the bright face of the Chu family, and was not with the dark guard.
This time, when the ghost elder and Chu Pojun agreed on the arrangement for Wang Dao to follow Chu Xi, it coincided with Wang Dao's summons to Tongjing, and the two discussed it again, so they simply let Wang Dao take over in advance.
This trip to Jinfeng was also regarded as a test for Wang Dao, testing his ability and observing whether he was convinced and loyal to Chuxi.
In the eyes of the ghost elders, the road after Chu Xi is very difficult, and if any martial artist can help him, it must at least be a holy realm.
This point Wang Dao is very consistent, he is only one step away from becoming a saint, and he is young, talented and good, and there is still room for growth.
But Wang Dao's character is destined to have a high vision, unwilling to be ordinary, whether he can willingly assist Chu Xi depends on whether Chu Xi can satisfy and convince him.
Since ancient times, good birds have chosen trees to perch, and if Chu Xi can't do it with the ability of the king sword, he is destined not to follow him for a long time.
These things were not pointed out in front of Chu Xi, this was the wisdom of people like him and Chu Pojun, who had experienced the world, and thought about everything thoughtfully and comprehensively.
And with the experience of following Chu Xi during this period of time, this smart young man should be able to think of this, it is only a matter of time, and I believe it will not be too long.
