Chapter Sixty-Three: The Man Who Shouldn't Be Present

The Tang Clan's annual meeting is the most important celebration of the clan every year, and the auditorium of the sect, which can accommodate 20,000 people, has been converted into a banquet hall, and a two-meter-high platform has been built due east to overlook the whole audience.

Behind the high platform are nine extraordinarily luxurious round tables, which are also the chairs of the annual meeting, which belong to the patriarch, the first seat of the battle hall, the Zongzheng and the clan elders.

Beyond that, there are round tables arranged neatly in the auditorium, with a total of 2,000 tables for eight seats each.

The Townsend family had not arrived too early, and when they entered the auditorium, it was already full of people, and most of the people had been sitting in their seats for a while, and there was a lot of noise.

And with the arrival of the Townsend family, except for the clansmen at the main table, all the remaining clansmen stood up and saluted the Townsend family.

Tang Sen held Tang Nuannuan in one hand and Xu Shuhui in the other, nodded politely around, and walked towards the seat.

Although it was the second time he felt such a gaze, Tang Luo was still not used to it, let alone Xiao Zhengtai.

Xiao Zhengtai tried his best to hold his head high, not wanting to weaken his momentum, but he didn't know where to put his eyes and hands, so he simply fell behind by half a step, staring at Tang Luo's back, and followed suit.

Under the gaze of thousands of people in the auditorium, the family walked to the table and sat down, and the main seat of the twelve people was less than half, which was in stark contrast to the other eight chairs.

The seats are empty to this extent, of course, not because there are really few people in the third room, but because the father-son relationship between Tang Sen and Tang Hao is very bad.

The ancestor of the Tang clan who founded a clan in Xiling was called Tang Zhengqing, who was a strong man at the peak of the fierce realm. He had three sons, so the Tang family had three rooms.

Tang Luo's vein is the third room, and there is a grandfather Tang Hao and a second grandfather Tang Ran on the top, the Tang family has multiplied to the twentieth generation in Xiling, and the two rooms of the big house have been scattered, with countless branches, while the third room has always only had one main vein and one branch, which is of course for a reason.

In the Tang clan's law, it is clearly stated that the son of the family can apply to leave the house after the age of twenty, and after leaving the house, you will be the head of the family and a branch of the Tang clan.

For the Tang boy who wants to show his ambitions, leaving the house is almost a must-take road, because every teenager is extremely confident in himself and believes that he can break into a huge family business.

Only the third room is not, except for Tang Sen, any man in the third room does not believe that he can break into a bigger family business than the third room.

Tang Zhengqing has a total of three children, but the most beloved is the youngest son, because this is his old son, so he is particularly rebellious, but the child is young, nearly 100 years younger than his two elder brothers. This made Tang Zhengqing extremely worried about the future of this young son.

Therefore, when dividing the three veins of the Tang family, Tang Zhengqing gave some spiritual jade spirit grass and divine armor to the second room of the big house, and left all the things with the background to the younger son.

Among them, there are thirty-three desolate beasts, thousands of blood slaves, and thousands of puppets. And the mansion engraved with twenty-one large arrays was used as a three-room delivery room.

The eldest son and the second son saw that Tang Zhengqing was so eccentric, so he could only reluctantly accept it, but such a rich background did not make Sanfang grow up.

The young son has extraordinary qualifications, and the young man is addicted to martial arts, but he gave up martial arts when he became an adult. It didn't take a few years to break his body, and when Tang Zhengqing, who had been in retreat for ten years, came out, that vigorous young genius had already turned into a waste that was overly drunk and his kidneys were depleted.

Therefore, Sanfang has become the one with the thickest background but the worst strength of the Tang family in Xiling, because of the profound heritage, every brother of the three houses is unwilling to go out of the house by himself, but wants to inherit the heritage of the head of the family and become the head of the vein, even if some concubines know that there is little hope, they can't suppress their greed.

After all, staying in the third room, the blood slaves and puppets can be driven, and they can go out of the house to set up a mansion, except for a few warriors who are not mortal, they have nothing.

So until now, there is only one branch of the third room, Tang Sen.

And the discord between Tang Hao and Tang Sen also comes from this, Tang Hao hopes that Tang Sen can return to the sect, so that after a hundred years, Tang Sen can become the master of the three-room vein and take care of those brothers and sisters.

But Townsend refused, because in his heart, only his wife, children and sister were his family.

This made Tang Hao, who is proud of his three-room heritage, accept it, and since then, the two have no contact, even when they meet at the annual meeting, they have never said hello, let alone at the same table, they are strangers.

At this time, the curtain of the high platform was lifted, revealing the figure of the patriarch Tang Zhi.

"Ladies and gentlemen. He came to the stage in a black suit, and the peak of his transformation that had long been invasive even in winter was still a single shirt, which made people feel chills when they looked at it.

The patriarch's appearance on the stage focused the eyes of all the clansmen present on the stage, but their eyes were full of puzzlement.

Tang Zhi smiled, slowly glanced at the auditorium, and said in a loud voice: "Ten thousand treasure ships, return in February." ”

"Oh~" The sudden loud cheers almost wanted to overturn the roof of the auditorium, for one or two hundred years, every time the treasure ship sailed back, it meant that the Tang clan grew again, and every Tang clan member can also share a lot of benefits, and some of the clansmen who sailed with the ship were even more excited, because everyone knew that when the treasure ship returned, the wealth of every crew member could at least buy a house in Xiling.

Feeling the excitement of the clansmen, Tang Zhi's voice was even higher: "And this time, the harvest is extraordinary. ”

"Oh~oh~oh~~" If the cheers just now were almost about to lift the roof, then the outburst of shouts now made the entire auditorium vibrate, including Xiao Nuannuan and Xiao Zhengtai all blended into the atmosphere and cheered loudly.

After a long time, the cheers slowly weakened, and everyone once again set their eyes on Tang Zhi who was standing on the main stage, their eyes full of excitement, looking forward to more good news.

And Tang Zhi lived up to expectations and continued to speak: "In addition to this matter, I also want to announce a major proposal that has just been voted on by the Council of Elders. ”

"Our clan has set up a new church, called Dark Thunder, which operates independently and is only responsible to the Council of Elders. And the first seat of the Dark Thunder Hall is the general leader of this fleet - Tang Zuo. ”

The auditorium, which had just been filled with joy, was silent in an instant, and even the sound of breathing could not be heard, and all the clansmen focused their eyes on the Tang Sen table.

Tang Zuo actually came, and he had to build a new hall, isn't this an obvious fight with Tang Sen? Such a sensitive matter, but no one dared to take the initiative to stand aside, so the clansmen looked at Tang Sen and the table, wanting to see the attitude of the first seat of the martial arts, and then decide whether to accept this "good news".

And when the patriarch announced the news just now, Tang Luo frowned slightly, because he found that his father's expression seemed to be too calm, and his mother, who was the king of the scene, was also drinking tea by herself with an indifferent face, and she didn't mean to listen to the good news at all.

Now it seems that the parents should have known about it a long time ago.

After all, it was the first seat of the martial arts, and it was impossible for the clan to skip Tang Sen for such a major decision.

Tang Zhike didn't care what the atmosphere below was, after finishing his words, he stepped aside, and glanced at Tang Sen with a slightly meaningful look. "Next, please ask Tang Zuo, the first seat of the Dark Thunder Hall, to speak to you. ”

Tang Sen saw Tang Zhi's eyes, nodded slightly, and stood up.

When everyone in the auditorium saw Tang Sen's movements, their hearts jumped.

If Tang Sen brushes his sleeves away, I'm afraid this year will really be bad.

And unexpectedly, Townsend was the first to applaud.

The lonely applause echoed in the auditorium, and the startled crowd did not reflect back, and after a while, they hurriedly followed Tang Sen's rhythm and clapped their hands.
