C452 Acknowledge of the Ancestor and Return to the Ancestor

"Elder sister, you're awake." Shang Zhiqing carried a clean basin and hot water, and after entering the room, she retreated to the side.

Xuanyuan Chen familiarly twisted the kernels and helped Xie Qingrong wipe off the sweat on her face.

In the three days that Xie Qingrong had been unconscious, Xuanyuan Chen had taken care of all of Xie Qingrong's daily accommodations. Xie Qingrong looked at Xuanyuan Chen's skilled movements and could not help but feel pain at the tip of his nose. He grabbed Xuanyuan Chen's wrist and stopped his movements.

Xuanyuan Chen did not understand, and looked down at her with suspicion.

Xie Qingrong laughed, and added some more color to his pale face, "These few days you have not had a good rest, come up and rest with me for a while."

"Alright." Xuanyuan Chen smiled as he replied, following Xie Qingrong's lead.

Seeing the two's exhausted expressions, Shang Zhiqing told the two of them what the Great Clan Elder had instructed her to do.

"Sister, rest well with brother-in-law today and recuperate. Tomorrow, sister needs to follow me to the Elder Pavilion. The Great Elder said that he has something he needs you for."

After which, he closed the door for them.

Xuanyuan Chen lied down in a spot that Xie Qingrong had deliberately revealed, and even brought along his blanket to hug Xie Qingrong, as he lowered his head to kiss Xie Qingrong's forehead.

He said with a chuckle, "Let me sleep with you for a while."

"Yes." Xie Qingrong replied softly as she closed her eyes.

Xuanyuan Chen had been staring at Xie Qingrong the entire time. Under the gaze of this gentle gaze, how could Xie Qingrong still sleep? Even with her eyes closed, her eyelashes were still trembling.

After a long while, Xuanyuan Chen called out in a low voice: "A Rong?"

"Yes." Xie Qingrong replied softly.

"Since A Rong is not asleep, let's have a talk." Xuanyuan Chen coaxed.

Hearing that, Xie Qingrong opened her eyes, and stared at Xuanyuan Chen without blinking.

The two of them spoke a lot, from the first time they met each other to the later mutual knowledge, experienced the wind and rain, experienced the hardships.

Never trust to trust, never feel like it.

On the way, the two of them had a long and arduous journey.

Once, Xie Qingrong hid Xuanyuan Chen's shoes under the bed for a prank not allowing Xuanyuan Chen to find them. Xuanyuan Chen made an excuse and played with Xie Qingrong on the bed for a long time. He could still vividly remember such a small matter.

It became a precious memory for both of them.

While talking, Xie Qingrong gradually fell asleep under Xuanyuan Chen's gentle coaxing.

Xuanyuan Chen looked at Xie Qingrong's sleeping face and smiled. He lightly pecked Xie Qingrong's somewhat pale lips and closed his eyes, then fell asleep as well.

This time, Xie Qingrong did not fall into a deep slumber for three days, instead, she slept soundly. In her dreams, there were no longer any strange and strange scenes that appeared, but instead, it was a warm and peaceful garden.

The tip of his nose was filled with a fresh fragrance.

When she slowly woke up, she discovered that her entire head was buried in Xuanyuan Chen's chest. The refreshing fragrance that she had smelled came from Xuanyuan Chen's body.

Xie Qingrong laid in Xuanyuan Chen's embrace, and raised her head slightly. She realized that Xuanyuan Chen was still deep in sleep, and when she saw's tightly-knit brows and tightly shut eyes, Xie Qingrong couldn't help but raise her hand and touch's cheek.

Slippery.

He touched his own face, it was smooth as well.

He chuckled to himself.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Chen still had not woken up, he carefully moved upwards, moving closer to his face. Warm breathing came out from his nose, landing on Xie Qingrong's face.

His long eyelashes were like a small fan over his eyelids, casting two shadows on his white cheeks.

Xie Qingrong glared at him with some jealousy.

Just as he was about to move to stroke his eyelashes, Xuanyuan Chen held his small hand.

A clear laugh escaped his throat. "Is it nice?"

Xie Qingrong was enchanted by his voice and subconsciously nodded.

Only after nodding did he realize that he had been duped.

"Good, you actually didn't tell me when you woke up, and you even secretly observed me!" Xie Qingrong pretended to be angry as he said that, got rid of Xuanyuan Chen's hand that was wrapped around her, and lightly punched Xuanyuan Chen's chest.

In fact, when Xie Qingrong woke up, Xuanyuan Chen was still sleeping. However, when Xie Qingrong wiped his face, he woke up. However, she did not open her eyes, but pretended to be asleep, just to see what Xie Qingrong would do to him.

Indeed, he caught Xie Qingrong's small hand that was causing trouble.

The punch Xie Qingrong punched him with was very light, Xuanyuan Chen only felt satisfaction in her heart. With the world's best wife lying in her arms, a burst of laughter came out from her chest.

Xie Qingrong stood up a little bashfully, put on her clothes and washed her face.

When everything was fully dressed, the Great Elder's second disciple knocked on the door.

"What is it?"

"Honored guests, please move to the main hall in a quarter of an hour."

After finishing what the First Elder had instructed him to do, he left in a hurry. He still had to inform the other guest in the room.

Xuanyuan Chen, Shen Haoxuan, Shang Zhiqing and Xie Qingrong were all ready, waiting for the Great Clan Elder and the others in the main hall. Before long, the Great Clan Elder and the other elders had arrived.

"Let's go inside." After the elders had entered, the Great Clan Elder walked in front of Shang Zhiqing and spoke to the few young men.

Considering that these people had just woken up and were called over to the main hall, they probably hadn't eaten breakfast yet. They instructed the kitchen staff to prepare a beautiful breakfast and place it on the small table to their right.

He could not speak without eating.

After finishing his meal, the Great Elder wiped his mouth and looked at Xie Qingrong. He asked straightforwardly, "When does the Crown Princess plan to return to the sect?"

Upon hearing the words "recognition of one's ancestors", Xie Qingrong remembered that the conversation she had with Ji Cangming, Ji Rufeng, and the others had also revolved around recognition of one's ancestors as well.

He couldn't help but find it laughable.

However, the Ji Family and the Shang clan were clearly different. The one who was in charge of the Ji Family was Ji Cangming, but the Shang clan was the Elders Guild. The inheritance system and the family rules were different between the two families.

What's more, the Shang family had another world shocking secret.

Although he said that he acknowledged his ancestors, he was just admitting the fact that he had the bloodline in his body.

With such a protective system that had allowed the ancient country to exist, the merchants were indeed generous.

"Everything will be decided by the Great Elder's orders." Xie Qingrong said indifferently, her attitude was neither high nor low. She did not look as low as the others, nor did she look as high.

When the other elders saw Xie Qingrong like this, the good impression they had of him deepened.

The Second Elder lowered his eyes, deep in thought.

Xie Qingrong took a small sip of the tea and looked at the elders for a while, seeing their expressions and emotions.

"If all the elders present have no objection to the Xie Clan recognizing their ancestors, then tomorrow will be an auspicious day for us to meet. Then it's settled." The Head Elder looked around and spoke word by word while leaning on his walking stick.

The Great Elder did not state his intentions, but everyone knew that the Saint Daughter of the Shang family was about to be replaced.
