Although Elder Xu was surprised by Tang Luo’s busy schedule, the only people he knew well in Xiling were Mi Bai and Tang Luo. If Tang Luo didn’t help, where could he find a warrior to support his stage? So he insisted on asking, “Can’t you just finish all these tasks? My arena still needs a few days to be built, which shouldn’t be a problem.”
Tang Luo swallowed his food and said lightly, “After that, I’ll be going back to the Martial Hall. We won’t see each other again until next month. Would that also not be a problem?”
Besides abolishing the prohibition order, developing a single-person fusion technique would be his most important task. He could foresee a particularly busy ti in the future, barely having ti to sleep. However, if Elder Xu was willing to wait for him for a month, he could demonstrate what he had learned by supporting the stage, despite the consumption of Spiritual Power. After all, they were relatives.
Upon hearing Tang Luo’s arrangent, Elder Xu shook his head repeatedly and said, “I can’t wait that long! Well, if there’s no supporting warrior, then so be it. It’s a sha that I, the distinguished Elder Xu, couldn’t even find a single supporting warrior!”
He looked so pitiful and neglected, and his performance was quite exaggerated. Tang LUO chose to ignore him, but his act aroused the protective instincts of the little boy!
Big cousin, I’ll support you on the stage tomorrow!” said the little boy as he lifted his head and volunteered himself bravely.
Seeing that his performance had evoked a response, Elder Xu imdiately cheered up and said, “Fantastic! That’s my little cousin right there! We brothers will make a na in Xiling tomorrow-”
The little boy got pumped up, just about to agree, when he saw his elder brother raising his hand high. Startled, he covered the top of his head and asked quickly, “What are you doing, brother?!”
But how could his elder brother’s intention be stopped by words alone? A puppet hit fell on the little boy’s head, causing a crisp sound.
“Without mastering Martial Lore, what are you going to do up there? Make a fool of yourself?” Tang Luo withdrew his hand, disregarding the embarrassed and indignant gaze of the little boy, and saying nonchalantly.
Xu Shuhui also nodded her head in agreent, telling Elder Xu, “I’ll arrange for a supporting warrior to stand up for you tomorrow. Xing is still young. He can’t take such an important role.”
She knew how audacious her nephew was. The renowned Xu clan’s renowned journeyman who had disappeared for two years without a trace was about to challenge the world, so she couldn’t rest easy letting Tang Xing go up on the stage with him.
Elder Xu could only nod regretfully and say, “That’s the only option.’
The morning of the 30th of the first lunar month is auspicious for: business, market trade, eting friends and relatives. However, avoid: marriages, praying for blessings, moving, and house entry.
At each end of the month during the clan eting, the real rulers of the Tang Clan gather. In addition to reporting this month’s work, the most important thing is to inform each other of the work for the next month in the hope of collaboration.
The venue for the eting was at the clan eting hall, with thirty-one people in attendance. These included:
The Clan Head, the absent First Head of the Battle Hall (temporarily replaced by Tang Bin), the clan affairs official, the Clan School Headmaster, the elder of the Secret Arts Pavilion, thirteen clan elders, as well as three branch clan representatives and ten clan elders present.
Before the start of the Clan Assembly eting, the unusual atmosphere of the eting could be felt. Although everyone was seated in the waiting room eating refreshnts, the crowd was clearly divided into three groups.
If it were not for Tang Hongtao’s participation, Tang Luo wouldn’t have known where to sit.
“Greetings, teacher. What is the aning of this gathering?” Tang Luo greeted and quietly asked after sitting down next to him.
Tang Hongtao stroked his long beard on his chest and whispered back, “The board fears change.”
Tang Luo was startled and asked softly, “What do you an?”
“The warti regulations have passed.” Tang Hongtao glanced at Tang Cunfu with a suggestive look.
Tang Luo furrowed his brows and glanced at Tang Cunfu. A strange color flashed in his eyes.
With the sounding of a bell, the participants of the eting filed into the eting hall and took their seats.
Clan Head Tang Zhi reported indifferently about the completion of New City’s construction over the past month and other items of supplies in the clan. This allowed everyone present to understand. But in today’s eting, under the seemingly normal gathering, it seed that there was an undercurrent underway, making it difficult for the group of clan elders present to sit still.
After the Clan Head, it was the clan affairs official who reported on the important occurrences within the Clan Law Office and the Clan School over the past month, and inford Tang Zhi of the Clan School’s operations for the next month.
Then ca the First Head of the Martial Hall and the Clan School Headmaster. After everyone had briefed each other on their matters, Tang Zhi said, “All has been spoken, is there any proposal to be made?”
When he said this, he looked towards Tang Cunfu, and all eyes gathered on this elegantly dressed branch clan representative.
This ti, Tang Sen is not here. Let’s see who can save you with warti regulations! With a victorious smile, Tang Cunfu stared at Tang Zhi, slowly rose from his seat, and a compelling aura slowly spread, like a tiger ready to strike at its prey, and his target was the head of the Tang Clan, Tang Zhi!
He had given too much for this impeachnt. This ti, with Tang Sen absent, he had no concerns anymore. Tang Cunfu said with a victorious grm, I have ”
Before he could finish, Tang Luo at the far end stood up and exclaid, “I have a proposal!”
This abrupt interruption startled everyone, focusing all eyes on Tang Luo.
The smile disappeared from Tang Cunfu’s face, his hard-earned montum was cut short. Feeling incredibly unsatisfied, he scolded, “This is a serious eting, no place for frivolity! Sit down imdiately and don’t cause trouble!” Tang Luo didn’t even bother to turn and look at him, he just clasped his hands together and shouted, “The Lord of the Clan, I’d like to inquire, when a Branch Clan Representative and a Clan Elder both propose a motion, which one takes precedence?”
Large organizations like the Tang Clan typically have such issues, like only processing one major proposal every month, for example.
Whether it is impeachnt, reform, change in system, or declaration of war, only one person can propose a motion at each Clan Assembly eting. Tang Luo wouldn’t simply give this opportunity to Tang Cunfu. He didn’t have a problem with Tang Cunfu impeaching Tang Zhi. But today, seeking the qualification to propose, he never even considered it.
The reason he asked the Clan Affairs Official such a question was that although the clan elders had no voting rights, they were higher in status than the branch clan representatives.
The Clan Affairs Official slowly said, “The Clan Elder gets priority.
Tang Luo smirked upon hearing the Clan Affairs Official’s decision, while Tang Cunfu’s face turned a shade of green. His eyes radiated with hatred as he stared at Tang Zhi. Of course, he didn’t believe that Tang Luo could prepare a proposal, and could only co to the conclusion that this clan head had fallen to such a base level. To prevent his impeachnt, he actually used Tang Luo! Seeing that Tang Cunfu was still standing, the Clan Affair Official cast his eyes on him and raised his voice, “Representative Cunfu, sit down!”
His words radiated an indescribable authority, like a mountain pressing on one’s shoulders. Clan officials placed the utmost importance on decorum. Anyone who dared to ignore decorum in front of him, even the clan head, would need to visit the law office. Let alone others.
Tang Cunfu clenched his fists, and his face filled with hatred. He then sat down, dejected. His eyes were filled with anger, which everyone could clearly see.
Tang Luo respectfully thanked the Clan Affairs Official in response, and said, “Thank you! I have a proposal here that I wish to discuss with all guests!”
