Chapter 773 ancestor worship
Everyone present was suddenly stunned.
At that moment, the scene fell silent. Everyone stared blankly at Ye Fei and Gong Qingcheng, especially the old men of the Gong family, who all looked at Gong Qingcheng with worried expressions, as if they were waiting for her to give them a reasonable explanation.
For no other reason than that Gong Qingcheng was the last patriarch of the Gong clan and the last holy maiden of the Gong clan. According to the clan rules set by the ancestors of the Gong clan, the patriarch, holy maiden and holy son of the Gong clan should strictly abide by the last instructions of the Gong clan ancestors and are not allowed to marry.
This is a somewhat inhumane rule that the ancestors of the Gong clan deliberately set up in order to ensure that the Gong clan would go further in the future.
However, it was precisely this rule that allowed the Gong family to continue its lineage for tens of thousands of years without its demise.
Because in any family, once someone becomes the patriarch and reaches the pinnacle of power, they will always favor their own descendants and will try their best to benefit their direct descendants during their reign.
Ultimately, this leads to an imbalance of power within the family, with mediocre individuals holding positions while geniuses are frequently suppressed and never have a chance to rise again. This results in geniuses having no place to use their talents, unable to shine for the family, and unable to fully utilize their abilities to make greater contributions.
When Gong Qingcheng was chosen to become the new generation of holy maiden of the Gong clan, and later to become the clan leader, she had already sworn a solemn oath before her ancestors that she would never marry in this life.
That's why the old folks from the Gong family are all looking at her with such worry, fearing she might ruin her future.
It is important to know that if you break your promise, you may not only be cursed by your ancestors, but you will also have to immediately step down and hand over the position of clan chief to the person with the highest ancestral prestige, so that he can preside over the re-election of a new clan chief.
Tragically, no one in the Gong family can currently surpass Gong Qingcheng's abilities. If she were to ruin her own future and the Gong family's prospects for a man, it would be something they absolutely do not want to see.
"You don't need to look at me like that, there's nothing between him and me!" Gong Qingcheng glanced at everyone and said coldly.
After saying that, Gong Qingcheng glared coldly at Ye Fei and said to him through soul transmission, "It's all your fault for talking nonsense!"
"Hehe..." Ye Fei chuckled at Gong Qingcheng, then turned around and slapped the silver-haired old man across the face: "Smack!"
"Damn it, I only told you to call me godfather, not godmother!" Ye Fei cursed angrily.
Silver-haired old man: "..."
"No, no, it's not the woman you're talking about. Is she my godmother?" the silver-haired old man said with a mournful face.
At this moment, he had long lost the demeanor and style of the strongest person in this world. After all, his hair was still being grabbed by Ye Fei's left hand. He knew that if he said the wrong thing, he would get slapped in the face again.
In particular, he still couldn't understand why this kid could completely suppress his immortal power just by grabbing his hair, and why every slap he received felt like it was hitting his soul, even weakening his primordial spirit.
Where on earth did this little pervert come from?
This is unacceptable!
I am the supreme Immortal Emperor of this ancient star! If outsiders see this, how will I ever be able to face anyone again...?
How embarrassing!
At this moment, what he was experiencing was more painful than death itself...
But that's the reality. If you can't beat someone, you can't beat them. This world has always been one where martial prowess reigns supreme. He's fallen into someone else's hands today, so he can only accept his fate.
Just like how many people fell into his hands at some point, he never showed any mercy to others.
He wasn't thinking about anything right now. Aside from being curious about where Ye Fei, this freak, came from, his biggest thought was that he could still find a way to survive this time.
After all, with tens of thousands of years of cultivation, no one would willingly die without knowing why.
"Just because I say she's your godmother doesn't mean she really is!" Ye Fei snapped at the silver-haired old man.
"Uh..." The silver-haired old man was speechless for a moment, but dared not speak out in anger: "Senior, please stop playing with me. It was my fault today. I was blind and offended you. I only beg you to spare my life and let me go!"
"Hmph, weren't you so arrogant just now!" Ye Fei sneered at the silver-haired old man. "What, you've chickened out now? You can't be arrogant anymore so quickly!"
"How dare I presume before you!" the silver-haired old man said with a sheepish smile.
"Hmph, you're lucky this time. I'm in a good mood today, otherwise, I wouldn't have let you go so easily!" Ye Fei said, finally releasing the silver-haired old man's hair with his left hand: "Get lost!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The silver-haired old man nodded repeatedly, and the next second, he turned around and disappeared at the entrance of Gongjiazhai Village.
"Huh?" Seeing that Ye Fei had let the silver-haired old man go, the old guys from Gongjia Village started to get anxious again.
Why did you let him go?!
Do you know who he is?
"He's from the ancient planet..."
"Shut up, all of you!" Gong Qingcheng suddenly interrupted everyone.
Everyone was so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads.
Gong Qingcheng glanced at everyone and said, "Let's go inside and find a place to talk slowly!"
"Clan leader, please!" Gong Yunzhang hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way: "Senior, please!"
Gong Yunchang's next sentence was naturally addressed to Ye Fei.
Faced with such a freak who could easily slap their strongest being in the face, he dared not be negligent in the slightest.
However, what he is more worried about now is that Ye Fei is actually Gong Qingcheng's husband, which would be a big problem.
Gongjia Village has struggled for tens of thousands of years, all waiting for the rise of one person, and that person is none other than Gong Qingcheng.
Gong Qingcheng was chosen by an ancestor of the clan tens of thousands of years ago as the successor to the clan leader. It is said that with her in charge, the Gong family village will surely regain its former glory.
If she disappoints the expectations of the Gong family's ancestors and their descendants, then they truly wouldn't know what to do.
After all, she was their only hope, and the belief that kept them clinging to life.
"How many generations has the Gong family been since I left?" This was the first question Gong Qingcheng asked when she entered the village and stood before the ancestral statue.
“Clan leader, I am the 337th generation descendant after you passed away!” Gong Yunchang said respectfully.
"Holy crap..." Just as Gong Yunchang finished speaking, Ye Fei couldn't help but exclaim, "Then what should you call her? Shouldn't you call her 'Bodhisattva Grandmother'?"
Gong Yunchang: "..."
“Those of the clan chief’s generation are collectively referred to as our ancestors!” Gong Yunchang said.
"If she gets married, what do you call her husband?" Ye Fei asked casually. "Shouldn't you call him your ancestor's son-in-law?"
Gong Yunchang: "..."
Although Gong Yunchang was speechless, he still honestly replied, "Reporting to senior, this is something I have never encountered before."
"That's true!" Ye Fei nodded. "After all, there aren't many people who can live that long."
Gong Qingcheng rolled her eyes at Ye Fei: "Mind your own business! If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"
"Hehe..." Ye Fei chuckled awkwardly, "I was just curious and asked casually!"
“Go outside the village and keep watch for me. I need to perform ancestral rites, which may take a while. I’m worried that person might come back with his men to retaliate against us!” Gong Qingcheng said coldly.
"He wouldn't dare!" Ye Fei shouted coldly.
“Senior, that’s not necessarily true!” Gong Yunchang said hurriedly with a worried look on his face. “He is the number one expert on our ancient star.”
"Huh?" Ye Fei was suddenly stunned: "Is the strongest person on your Ancient Star really like that?"
"Perhaps he's nothing in front of you, but he is indeed the strongest person on the ancient star!" Gong Yunchang said patiently.
"Really?" Ye Fei still hadn't expected that the old man he had just humiliated was actually the strongest person on the Ancient Star.
“Absolutely true!” Gong Yunchang replied.
"Oh, if that's the case, then what do you have to worry about!" Ye Fei smirked smugly. "I'll go ask him right now if he's planning to come back for revenge!"
After Ye Fei finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared from the spot.
"Huh?" Gong Yunchang was stunned and hurriedly looked at Gong Qingcheng: "Clan leader, he, he really went to find, to find..."
"Let him be!" Gong Qingcheng said in a deep voice. "Prepare incense, candles, and paper money. I'm going to defeat our ancestors!"
……
"Shh!"
The next second, Ye Fei arrived at the bedroom in the backyard of a luxurious palace thousands of miles away.
An elderly man with silver hair was pacing back and forth in the room, with several of his most trusted princes and ministers kneeling in front of him.
"Investigate! Investigate immediately! When did such an unparalleled expert appear on the Ancient Star?" the silver-haired elder said coldly.
"Yes, sir!" More than a dozen princes and ministers knelt on the ground and answered tremblingly.
"No matter what method you use, you have to dig three feet into the ground to find him!" the silver-haired old man shouted again.
"Shh!"
Just as the silver-haired old man finished speaking, a young man in black suddenly appeared beside him without warning: "Old man, who are you looking for? Do you need me to help you find them?"
