C51 (1/2)

This time, the butler brought Hao Qiang directly into the restaurant.

At this moment, steaming hot dishes were placed on the Redwood Steppes' table. Seeing the two of them enter, the couple sat at the head of the table, watching them with a smile.

”Whatever it is, let's eat first. Qiang'er, the last time you ate with us, you didn't use chopsticks. ” Mother Hao said.

Although Father Hao didn't say anything, he still looked at him expectantly.

Hao Qiang nodded and quietly sat beside his mother. The food on the table was exceptionally exquisite, but their minds were clearly not on the exquisite delicacies.

After the meal, Hao Qiang followed behind the butler to the room at the back. In the middle of the room, there was a man's white long gown. Even though its outer appearance was not very eye-catching, Hao Qiang was able to tell with a single glance that the cost of this shirt was not low.

”Could Mister Hao please change into this set of clothes and follow me to the ancestral hall. My family and my branch will be waiting there for you.”

”Members of the main and branch families?” Hao Qiang asked in confusion.

”Yes, Mister Hao. The Hao family still maintains the most ancient clan system. You will know about it in the future.” The butler smiled.

Clan system? Hao Qiang knew that many of the big families in the family retained this tradition, but he had never encountered one before. He never thought that he came from such a family.

And the families that followed such a system often represented heaven-shattering wealth and power.

This wealth and power had been accumulated over generations by the clan.

Such a family was also the one that cared the most about relationships. From the Hao couple's way of acting, their status in the family was definitely not that simple.

With these speculations, Hao Qiang changed his clothes and followed the butler to the Hao family's ancestral hall.

The Hao family's ancestral hall had obviously been meticulously maintained by several generations. The gate was a tall archer tower, towering and tall. Just from the Hao family's ancestral hall, one could tell how powerful the Hao family was.

At this moment, the ancestral hall could really be described as crowded, but even so, no one dared to make a sound. The Hao couple stood calmly in the main hall with the attitude of people accustomed to being in a position of power.

The Hao family ancestral hall was filled with smoke, hundreds of wood carvings of ancestral tablets on the spiritual altar, all of which were the ancestors of the Hao family. The farthest can be traced back to more than a thousand years ago.

Hao Qiang quickly took a look at the people in the hall. Other than a few old men he didn't recognize sitting on either side of him, he actually recognised a few people standing behind him.

Those were the young talents of Demonic City, familiar faces that often appeared in newspapers and magazines.

Among these people, some of them were from politics and some of them were from business. Although their berserk abilities could not be compared with a celebrity like Hao Qiang, they would definitely be recognized by others.

At this moment, these people stood to the side and were all looking at Hao Qiang with deep thoughts.

If these people were all the external relatives of the Zong Clan, Hao Qiang suddenly couldn't imagine what kind of powerful family they came from.

Following everyone's gazes, Hao Qiang stood in front of the Hao couple.

At this moment, an old gentleman wearing a qipao and glasses walked out from the side. In his hand was a thick book.

”Hao Qiang, the one hundred and twenty-eighth generation descendant of the Hao family, has lived in the human world since childhood. After being found by the Hao family, he has officially acknowledged his ancestors and placed them in the family. He is now burning incense to pay respects to the ancestors.”

A deep and aged voice rang out from within the hall. Under the instructions of the elder, Hao Qiang kneeled on the prayer mat and kowtowed three times. Only then did he accept the firework offered by the side and the delicate smoke stove.

In that instant, Hao Qiang felt as though he had traveled through time and space. It was as if he had returned to that era where the music and etiquette had not yet crumbled.

The Hao couple looked at Hao Qiang and gave him a smile. Then, they walked over together to help him up.

”Qiang Er, you haven't called me yet.” Mother Hao said softly. There were traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.

Hao Qiang was stunned when he saw his mother like this. In the end, he still indifferently said, ”Mom!”

When Mother Hao heard the address, she raised her head to look into Father Hao's eyes and finally shed tears.

”Dad.” ”Father Hao,” Hao Qiang said softly as he looked at Father Hao.

Father Hao nodded.
