Chapter 1437 - 1438: Elder Dragon Head
At this moment, Liu Hanlou and Madam Liu were flustered, Liu Hanlou hurriedly went to support Yang Fei, tears streaming uncontrollably.
"Mr. Yang, you are now... sigh, a great person like you, how can I accept this, please get up."
Liu Hanlou's family background was illustrious, but any of Yang Fei's identities were incomparable to him.
Seeing Yang Fei humble himself to kneel, he couldn't help but have mixed emotions.
Madam Liu was even more panicked and came to support Yang Fei.
"Mr. Yang, we appreciate your kindness, but you are of the Wang family's direct lineage, the apple of Old Master Wang's eye, how can we dare to reach so high? Please rise, don't shorten our lives."
Yang Fei laughed heartily, still kneeling on the ground, raising his head high and saying loudly.
"I, Yang Fei, have never bent a knee to my enemies, only to heaven, earth, and my parents. This is all as it should be."
"Dad, Mom, what do you think is a good name for our family's eldest grandson?"
Liu Hanlou, over fifty, had already weathered many storms, and the pain of losing his son and daughter had extinguished his hope for life.
At this moment, seeing Yang Fei's actions, he could no longer hold back his tears, which fell in torrents.
Liu Hanlou choked up as he leaned on Yang Fei's shoulder.
"Good, good child, I accept you as my son, our family's eldest grandson shall be named Liu Jizheng."
Yang Fei murmured twice: "Liu Zhengfeng, Liu Jizheng..."
He clapped his hands: "Alright, Dad, Mom, your eldest grandson will be called Liu Jizheng."
As he spoke, he secretly made a funny face at Liu Hanlou and Madam Liu, lowering his voice.
"To speak truthfully, your grandson is about to be born, but it's feared to be a girl, let's discuss this later."
Liu Hanlou and Madam Liu never expected that after losing their son and daughter, they would suddenly gain a grandson, leaving them both surprised and thrilled.
Madam Liu's voice was trembling.
"Yang Fei, you... aren't you still unmarried? Whose family's lady is your wife?"
Madam Liu's words clearly showed that she had accepted Yang Fei, her tone now full of a mother's deep concern for her son.
Yang Fei laughed awkwardly, leaned over, and whispered a few words to Madam Liu.
Madam Liu gasped, looking at Yang Fei in disbelief.
"Yang Fei, you have some nerve, that person is an Empress of a nation..."
At this point, Madam Liu suddenly stopped speaking, her pale cheeks showing a blush full of vitality, her eyes filled with a teasing smile.
Liu Hanlou looked confused, while Madam Liu covered her mouth and let out a light laugh, whispering a few words into his ear.
At this, Liu Hanlou was also dumbfounded, looking at Yang Fei, his hand itching to raise.
"You rascal... sigh!"
Yang Fei instinctively shrank back, while Liu Hanlou clutched his heart in pain.
Yang Fei hurriedly rushed over to support him, gently rubbing his chest to soothe him.
Madam Liu quickly took out a pill she carried with her and gave it to Liu Hanlou, who finally recovered after a while, still utterly shocked.
Yang Fei quietly said: "Please, you both take care of your health, don't get angry."
"Once this matter is over, I'll take you to Greenfield Commonwealth to meet your daughter-in-law and grandson."
Liu Hanlou couldn't help but glare: "How do you know the Empress is carrying a son?"
Yang Fei chuckled: "Isn't it simple to have a son? I have so many..."
At this, he suddenly stopped, not daring to speak further.
Liu Hanlou's temper, straightforward and somewhat rigid, was not to be trifled with.
If he were to know that Yang Fei had many women like Lin Xueyi at home, he might exercise his parental authority and give Yang Fei a beating.
The many bigwigs of the Hongmen Sect watched with astonishment as Yang Fei acknowledged his parents.
The crowd gathered around, offering congratulations to Liu Hanlou and Madam Liu.
Liu Hanlou, getting on in years and not in the best health, could only endure a few words of goodwill before feeling physically overwhelmed.
Madam Liu supported Liu Hanlou to rest, and Elder Situ then led Yang Fei towards the main hall of Hongmen Sect.
In the spacious hall, everyone took their seats in a designated order.
Yang Fei was seated in the first seat on the upper left, demonstrating the high regard the Hongmen Sect held for him.
After some pleasantries, Elder Situ said a few polite words and suddenly announced.
"Next, on behalf of Hongmen Sect, I have a presumptuous request for Mr. Yang."
Yang Fei stood up and bowed slightly: "Please, Great Elder, feel free to speak."
Elder Situ gestured, and a graceful young man and a pretty young woman, holding a tray, stepped forward.
Both were dressed in martial attire, the young man in black with a red sash around his waist.
The young woman was in white attire, also with a red sash at her waist.
Yang Fei was immediately captivated by these two.
Their movements were graceful, their steps bloomed like lotuses, yet they didn't appear shallow, truly first-class masters of Gang Strength.
The young woman held a wooden tray, on which lay a piece of black token, cushioned by red silk.
Yang Fei was a bit at a loss, but saw Elder Situ approach, raising the black token.
"I hope Mr. Yang Fei can accept Hongmen's invitation to become a guest elder of the Dragon Sect."
Hearing this, Yang Fei was taken aback, bowing repeatedly.
"How could I deserve this? Elder Situ is too kind."
The Dragon Sect Elder, commonly known as the Elder Dragon Head, holds the highest position in Hongmen Sect.
Currently, the only remaining Dragon Sect Elders are Elder Situ and a few other inner sect elders.
If Yang Fei became a Dragon Sect Elder of the Hongmen Sect, tens of thousands of Hongmen disciples around the world would be his juniors.
No matter where, be it for money or manpower, he would have an unparalleled advantage.
Hongmen Sect places a great emphasis on seniority and hierarchy, even elders who have endured for years haven't been promoted to Elder Dragon Head.
Elder Situ seemed to have anticipated Yang Fei's refusal, smiling mildly.
"Mr. Yang, please accept the token and hear me out."
The two Gang Strength masters knelt on one knee, raising the wooden tray above their heads.
Yang Fei was a bit flustered, but seeing two Gang Strength masters kneeling and bowing to him, he couldn't let them kneel for long.
He reluctantly took the token from the tray, seeing the black token, which was warm to the touch, carved with a coiling dragon.
The two Gang Strength masters stood up, and Elder Situ, looking slightly apologetic, said.
"I'm sorry, I was worried Mr. Yang would refuse, so I took the liberty of presenting first and informing later, haha, please don't take offense, Mr. Yang."
Yang Fei shook his head: "I'm not offended, it's just that this identity as Elder Dragon Head is too esteemed for me to accept."
Elder Situ smiled slightly, agreeing with Yang Fei.
"Indeed, the title of Elder Dragon Head is not lightly bestowed to those outside Hongmen Sect."
"In the last few centuries, only five tokens were issued, including to Mr. Sun during the Republic of China era, and martial arts master Tang Xiaolong, who brought Huaxia Kung Fu to the world."
"And in the new century, only one token was issued, to the previous Tower Master of Yinxue Tower, the Huaxia War God!"
