Chapter 018: Family Rite of Passage

As one of the four major families in Mingyang City, the martial family is naturally not comparable to ordinary small families.

How many people are in the whole clan, Wu Feng doesn't know how many people there are. However, the martial arts family is divided into nine branches, with three veins and six veins. The head of the Wu family, each generation selects the best person from the lineage, and the elders of the previous generation of the whole clan are elected.

Each generation of the martial arts family has nine law enforcement elders, and one person from each of the nine veins serves as the elder. The clansmen who have reached the level of strength outside of it are only status symbols and do not have much power when they become elders. But the strength is high, and naturally there is more right to speak.

Wu Zhen, as a descendant, is the eldest son of the patriarch, even if he served in the army, his wife died early and the children were outside, and his independent courtyard was also preserved. In the huge courtyard of the family, only people with extremely high status, status, strength, and power are eligible to allocate independent small courtyards.

Although it was getting late, the lights had not been turned off in Wu Zhen's small courtyard. When Wu Feng and the others entered the courtyard, they had already been discovered by him.

"You two boys, come back secretly, you don't have to dress up like this, right?" Although Wu Feng and the two of them were dressed up, how could they hide it from Wu Zhen, seeing the appearance of the two, Wu Zhen said with some tears and laughter.

"You don't have to worry about the Du family at all, even if you come back, you won't be taken seriously. The Du family wants to swallow our martial family, it is also a battle of true martial arts masters, you can't affect the overall situation, don't worry, the family is ready, and the people of the Du family will definitely be called in two days. ”

"Dad, we are not pretending to be like this, not because we are worried about the Du family or anything. It's just that Brother Feng doesn't want to be exposed to the clansmen now, and Brother Feng left the family training camp six months ago because of the pursuit and killing of the children of the same clan. Wu Tianxing explained.

"What, what's going on?" Wu Zhen asked angrily, when he was in the barracks, Wu Feng didn't talk about these situations.

The reason why Wu Tianxing knew the Tao was because he had only heard Wu Feng say it when he was chatting about the family in the past twenty days. Wu Feng didn't have any purpose in saying it, it was just an experience that the eldest brother cared about himself and talked about casually.

Wu Feng didn't speak, the thoughts in his heart were very complicated, although he didn't have a strong desire for revenge, he couldn't easily let go of those who killed his brothers of the same clan.

Although Wu Feng didn't want to worry his father, but feeling his father's anger, Wu Tianxing still told Wu Zhen that he knew about it, and slowly told Wu Zhen: "Because I got the news of the marriage with the Mu family in advance, Wu Jian and the others At that time, after Brother Feng was seriously injured, he was washed into the sea wave, if it wasn't for Brother Feng being rescued by his master, I'm afraid"

"Hmph, those bastards, think I'm not in the family, and my son is easy to bully. Wu Zhen became more and more angry, and he looked eager to go out immediately to find someone to settle the account, and then perhaps he thought of the family's situation and endured it again.

"Feng'er, I've wronged you all these years, but I didn't expect them to be so excessive. It's just a matter of not fighting at peace, but actually killing brothers of the same clan, this must not be let go. Wu Zhen turned his head to look at Wu Feng again, full of meaning to protect the calf, and then continued:

"However, the current situation of the family can't be messed up with internal fighting, so we can only use the clan rules normally and punish them. ”

Wu Zhen thought for a while and continued: "Feng'er, I know that you are hiding yourself now, maybe you have your thoughts. But Wu Jian and the others are brothers of your clan after all, they can be unkind, but you can't be unjust. Daddy will get justice for you and let them get the punishment they deserve."

Wu Feng nodded slightly, but did not speak, although he acquiesced to his father's words, but he didn't really accept it in his heart. However, he also completely extinguished the idea of killing Wu Jian to take revenge, originally thinking of the feelings of the same clan, he did not plan to kill the other party.

What's more, since he was able to cultivate, Wu Feng's mentality was completely different from what he used to be, and a person like Wu Jian who would only become the second ancestor of the family would be different from the path he had taken, and it would be difficult for him to have any intersection in the future.

The father and son once again talked for a long time at night, and the content of the discussion was very wide, from the views on martial arts cultivation to the views on the development of the family, and even Wu Tianxing proposed to develop a mercenary group, Wu Zhen also gave some views

Early the next morning, Wu Zhen took Wu Tianxing and Wu Feng to meet the patriarch of the Wu family, who is also the grandfather of the two brothers, the first person in the Wu family except for several ancestors, Wu Kun.

"Dad, I brought Tianxing and Feng'er here. Wu Zhen said respectfully to Wu Kun, it was not only the patriarch of the family, but also his father, the person he respected the most.

Wu Feng and Wu Tianxing then saluted at the same time, and said in unison: "Grandson has seen grandpa!"

"Okay, okay!" After the two of them saluted, Wu Kun's usually calm face also showed a trace of excitement.

Sitting at the top of a family, he often maintains his majesty, this kind of change in his expression, even when Miss Mu revealed the Du family's conspiracy to him more than twenty days ago, he had never had it.

"Feng'er, it's good that you can cultivate. Wu Kun said kindly, and then the words changed, and his tone became serious: "Although you have suffered a lot of hardships before, you must know that the heavens will descend on the Si people, and you must first work hard and work your muscles and bones. ”

"But you still have to remember that martial arts cultivation must be rooted in reality, don't be frivolous and arrogant, and don't be in a hurry to destroy the foundation!"

"Thank you grandpa for teaching, grandson keep it in mind!" Wu Feng replied seriously.

"Yes, not arrogant or impatient, accept it with an open mind! With your mentality, you are worthy of your father's praise of you in front of me. Wu Kun was very satisfied with Wu Feng's attitude, nodded with a smile, and then continued: "This time, you rescued Miss Mu and learned of the conspiracy planned by the Du family, which invisibly solved a major crisis for the family, and grandpa will reward you well." ”

"However, it will have to wait until after the family crisis, and now even if you speak up about it and offer a reward, there are many people in the clan who are not convinced. What's more, I didn't let too many people know about this incident, so that it would be more confidential, and I could also see the faces of some people in the family when the family was in danger. ”

"These grandfathers arranged that, if they could, the grandson would like to have the opportunity to browse through all the marksmanship and martial arts of the family. Wu Feng didn't care about the reward, but he felt that the martial arts he mastered were too simple, and it was necessary to supplement them, so he could use them in different situations.

"Feng'er, with your current cultivation, you can already choose one copy of the Yellow Rank Elementary and Yellow Rank Intermediate Martial Arts in the family, if you are in a hurry, you can go to the treasury to choose one each. ”

"Moreover, your current cultivation is definitely the first person of the same generation in the family, this time Miss Mu is here for marriage, you are the best candidate. You've already met Miss Mu, I wonder if you'd like to?" Wu Kun asked.

"Grandpa, my grandson is now dedicated to martial arts, and he has no intention of considering his children's personal affairs for the time being. Although I also think Miss Mu is good, she is not very happy with this kind of family marriage, if she can, I hope that Grandpa can give Miss Mu a chance to choose by herself. ”

Wu Feng got along with Mu Yanqin before, and he could clearly feel his resistance to the family marriage. In such a situation, when he learned that the martial family was in crisis, he still chose to notify the family for help. Such a heart made Wu Feng admire it very much.

Miss Mu mentioned the person who saved him at the beginning, but she also looked like a distraught little daughter, but she didn't know that you were also a child of the martial family. However, since you have put it forward, I agree with your proposal, compared to after this family crisis, the power of the family can be much more concentrated, and the family will be more united!" Wu Kun said with a smile, followed by a look of lamentation.

As the first person in the family, his identity, status and strength are all there, and he doesn't care about any power. However, the other elders of the family are obsessed with power and focus on family infighting, so that he, who is bent on developing and strengthening the family, is deeply helpless about this.

And now, perhaps, there is an opportunity.

After talking about topics related to Wu Feng, Wu Kun began to discuss things with Wu Zhen, and Wu Zhen told Wu Kun everything he learned about Wu Feng last night.

Wu Kun was also furious, and after deciding that after the family crisis, he would do his best to punish those people.

And Wu Kun even asked Wu Feng to make a high-profile appearance on top of the family's coming-of-age ceremony to deter those children in the clan who are not enterprising.

A family coming-of-age ceremony is a coming-of-age ceremony held by the family for the adult descendants. The descendants of the family are related to the future of the family, and each family attaches great importance to the coming-of-age ceremony of the younger generations. Similarly, other families will be concerned.

The future generations of a family will determine the future development of the family, and it is the basis for other families to decide to interact and judge intimacy. Generally, when a family holds a coming-of-age ceremony for their descendants, they will invite the family who is friendly to watch it.

However, the evil family will come uninvited to probe the truth of others, which is conducive to their own development. Even if it is a family with bad friends, it is impossible to turn it away because of affection. What's more, there is infiltration between families, and they can't tear their faces for information that can't be hidden.

Therefore, the coming-of-age ceremony of every family, every family member, will be taken seriously.

Similarly, the family coming-of-age ceremony is also a time for each family member to be tested by the clan. Before the children of the family reach adulthood, they can do nothing and cultivate completely wholeheartedly, and the family will also vigorously cultivate equally.

However, after the family coming-of-age ceremony, the treatment of each member will be directly related to their own cultivation strength. Those who are high in cultivation, strong in strength, and good enough will be given priority in the cultivation of the family, while the rest of the people will only gain if they pay for the family.

Of course, there are also privileged classes in the family, such as the patriarch, such as the Nine Law Enforcement Elders.

Wu Feng and Wu Tianxing are in the family every day, in addition to cultivation, they are training each other to improve their strength.

And the time has passed inadvertently, and in the early hours of the morning, the family's coming-of-age ceremony this year is about to begin.
