Chapter 837 - 926 Explanation

In the main hall of the Nangong Family, it was almost full of people, all of whom were members of the Nangong Family. As for the people from the Ren Family and the Li Family, they had all left.

Nangong Song sat at the head of the table. On one side were the elders and senior members of the Nangong Family who held real power, while on the other were the women and children of the Nangong Family. The hall was bustling with people, and the soft chatter gathered to show a hint of noise.

Especially Nangong Xue’s many aunts and uncles, who held Nangong Xue’s hand and asked questions like how old Chen Mo was, who was in his family, whether he was good to Xiao Yue, and if Xiao Yue had met the groom’s parents or not.

Nangong Xue could barely keep up with the questions on her own.

But one thing was certain.

The members of the Nangong Family were all very satisfied with Chen Mo.

"Mom, why isn’t the food served yet? I’m so hungry." A small child, only two or three years old, asked the woman beside him, holding his stomach.

The woman picked up the child and whispered, "Your brother-in-law hasn’t arrived yet. We’ll eat when he comes."

The child was Nangong Yue’s cousin, and he had to call Chen Mo brother-in-law.

Everyone was waiting for Chen Mo’s arrival. The display Chen Mo had shown earlier garnered serious attention from everyone in the Nangong Family.

Soon, Nangong Yue came to the outside of the hall, holding Chen Mo’s arm.

As the head of the family, Nangong Song stood up to greet him directly.

Finally, Chen Mo sat in the first seat on the left side below Nangong Song.

Beside him was Nangong Yue.

After Chen Mo sat down, an elder of the Nangong Family named Nangong Yueqing clapped his hands, indicating that the food could be served.

Once the dishes were served, Nangong Yueqing first offered a toast to Chen Mo, first clarifying his identity, and then praising Chen Mo, saying how he was talented and that his future achievements would be limitless. He said it was a blessing for Xiao Yue to be with him, and so on.

Nangong Yue blushed at hearing this.

But it also gave her a lot of face.

When she was young, she had often been scolded by Nangong Yueqing. Even before she went to participate in the Shenxiao Sect’s assessment, she heard Nangong Yueqing discussing with her father, saying if she and her sister failed the assessment, they would arrange for her to marry an outstanding young man from another clan. This made Nangong Yue somewhat afraid of Nangong Yueqing when she saw him.

But ever since she brought Chen Mo over and revealed his identity, every word Nangong Yueqing spoke was respectful, asking for her opinion.

The other clan elders also treated her warmly.

Although she was the second young lady of the Nangong Family, and the clansmen treated her kindly in the past, it was never like today, lacking the same amount of reverence.

"Oh no, I am overwhelmed. You are Xiao Yue’s elder, how can I let you, as my elder, offer me a toast? It should be me offering a toast to you." Chen Mo stood up and said, "Before coming here, Xiao Yue mentioned you to me, saying that without your guidance, she wouldn’t be who she is today."

"Oh, really?" Upon hearing this, Nangong Yueqing laughed happily. Regardless of whether Chen Mo’s words were true or not, his respectful address indicated he was good at social interactions, not putting on an overly high-and-mighty demeanor, which significantly increased people’s goodwill towards him.

Even the clansmen beside him nodded approvingly at these words, thoroughly satisfied with Chen Mo.

Sitting at the head, Nangong Song completely breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Chen Mo, his eyes sparkled, and Nangong Song stroked his beard, feeling that his son-in-law was simply impeccable.

Before everyone could subtly probe about other matters concerning Chen Mo,

Nangong Yue raised her head and smiled, "Uncles, aunts, dear relatives... Big brother Chen Mo has also prepared gifts for you..."

Saying this, she glanced at Chen Mo, who nodded, waved his hand grandly, and streaks of light shot out from the Qiankun Ring, followed by a large pile of gift boxes stacked in the hall.

Then, Nangong Yue picked up a gift box and walked towards Nangong Yueqing, saying it was for him.

Then she distributed the other gift boxes to the aunts and uncles.

Although the gifts for these people could not compare to the Kunlun Snow Lotus that Chen Mo gave to Nangong Song,

for those who had grown up in Ancient Mountain City and hadn’t seen many valuable items, they were still very precious.

Apart from this, there was a difference between giving and not giving.

If you gave a gift, people could feel your sincerity, indicating that you held their elder in your heart, ensuring that when you came back in the future, you would certainly be respected by them.

Moreover, when people accept your gift, they are inclined to speak well of you.

Later, if someone in the family speaks ill of you, they will voluntarily defend you.

At that moment, people were already full of envy when they looked at Nangong Yue and Nangong Song.

Wishing Nangong Yue were their daughter so that Chen Mo would be their beloved son-in-law.

Perceiving the looks from the crowd, Nangong Song’s smile widened.

In the world, face is everything.

And now, Chen Mo had given him full honor.

It is imaginable that if one day Nangong Yue decided she didn’t want to be with Chen Mo anymore, Nangong Song might be the first to oppose it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Nangong Yue knew it was time to talk about her sister’s matter, so she held Nangong Xue’s hand, and the two sisters stood up together, looking at Nangong Song.

Nangong Yue said to Nangong Song, "Father, actually, there’s a matter I have kept from you, and I hope Father won’t blame me for it."

For a moment, all the clansmen’s eyes were focused on Nangong Yue.

Without waiting for Nangong Yue to continue, Nangong Yueqing spoke, "Xiao Yue, whatever it is, feel free to say it. The patriarch won’t blame you, and even if he does, I will stand by you."

"Exactly." The other aunts and uncles agreed in unison.

Nangong Song was in a good mood and told Nangong Yue to go ahead and speak, assuring her he wouldn’t blame her.

"Actually, this matter concerns my sister," Nangong Yue took a deep breath and said, "In fact, both my sister and I are women of elder brother Chen Mo."

"Oh... What?" Nangong Song was still indifferent at first, but upon hearing this, he was suddenly taken aback.

In the hall, everyone was shocked.

The Nangong Family was a prominent family in the area, and the thought of two sisters belonging to one man wasn’t something to be proud of if word got out.

Nangong Song’s initially joyful expression darkened instantly.

Just when the atmosphere was getting a bit awkward,

Nangong Yueqing stepped in to smooth things over, laughing, "Patriarch, we all know about Xiao Xue and Xiao Yue’s special constitution. It’s actually quite good for them to both marry Chen Mo, as it avoids any future awkwardness. Besides, Chen Mo is a core disciple of the Daoist Alliance, and such exceptional young talents often have more than one woman around them—this is something well-known. Even if Xiao Xue and Xiao Yue’s situation is spoken of, no one would laugh at them."

"Yes, patriarch, one can tell at a glance that Chen Mo knows how to cherish people. Xiao Xue and Xiao Yue marrying him isn’t a bad thing."

"..."

Thanks to Chen Mo’s previous display and his own identity, after a brief silence among the crowd, not a single person objected.
