11 Go to the Yue Clan’s Main Headquarter (2/2)
In this hall, there are few elders in the middle of conversation. In the main seat there is an old man with powerful bearing and dignity that differentiate him from others.
Seeing Fourth mother, Yue Yang and others come in, he stand up to receive them.
”Hohoho, long time no see Ah-Xian. It truly was a joyful occasion for you to give me a new granddaughter”, say the old man.
”This unworthy daughter in law pays respect to her father. San-er, Bing-er, come and kowtow as well”, said Fourth mother.
Yue Bing knelt down, while Yue Yang was only bowing. As a modern transmigrator, the concept of kneeling was foreign for him. Although he will not mind kneeling to Fourth mother since she always take care of him since he was little, but he will not kneeling to someone that he didn't know much.
In the first place, he only bow to this old man because Yue Yang know that he was elder Yue Hai, the head clan of Yue clan, and respectable figure in Da Xia kingdom.
He will not mind kneeling to elder Yue Hai after he personally saw his true personality and getting to know him better, but for the time being bowing to him was already suffice in his opinion.
Though the other elders didn't share the same opinion with him, especially his First Uncle, Yue Shan.
”Audacious! Why are you not kneel down before your own grandfather”, say Yue Shan while fuming.
”San-er, quick kneel down!”, said Fourth mother anxiously.
”Fourth mother, I don't mind kneeling down to you because I know that not only you take care of me for years like your own son, but also because your personality itself deserve respect. However, I will not kneel down to anyone else unless I already saw their true personality and behaviour with my own eyes. Respect which come from heart was far more valuable than the superficial respect displayed through kowtowing. I bow to grandfather was already show my utmost respect for him since he was my own grandfather. However I rarely see him and meet him, that's why I'll only consider to kneel down to him after I know him better”, said Yue Yang with righteous face.
”You…!”, Yue Shan was about to reprimand him before elder Yue Hai interrupt him.
”Enough Yue Shan, Yue Yang was right. Respect which come from heart was more valuable than respect displayed through kowtowing. I can't refute it since all this time I rarely give him any attention as a grandfather should. Beside, he already bow to me to show me his respect already”, said Yue Hai.
”Yes father, I understand”, said Yue Shan with comply. The other elders also quiet down to acknowledge Elder Yue Hai's order.
Seeing this, Yue Yang inwardly can't help but sneer.
Yue Yang didn't intentionally seeking trouble by not kneeling down, but to saw the intention of each elders toward him and Fourth mother.
Like he already guess, Yue Shan become the first person to immediately reprimand him because of petty reason like not kneeling down.
It was no wonder though. In the personal level, Yue Shan was jealous toward Yue Qiu, Yue Yang's father because of his talent. Now that Yue Yang show a talent on par with his eldest son Yue Tian, his distaste toward Yue Yang will only grow. Not to mention, Yue Shan able to easily mask his intention to made others didn't easily saw through his personality.
Yue Yang already mark Yue Shan as a person to watch out for, and if he still intend to made things difficult for him and Fourth mother, he will not hesitate to strike him down secretly, even if he was Yue Yu's father.
'Hey, maybe I can kill Yue Shan secretly using third party. With my various ability from gacha this should be piece of cake. Let's wait until I have ability to hypnotize others to do my bidding like geass or sharingan, and then I can help Yue Yu to avenge her father's death while secretly getting close to her. After all I already mark her as my harem member, even if she is my step sibling”, thought Yue Yang evilly.
At the same time Yue Yang thought of this, Yue Shan have a chill in his spine.
