The embrace had to end, and the coming-of-age ritual had to move on. Not only had Tang Sen felt a lot of relief after that one hug, but Tang Luo also felt as if he had let go of many burdens from his past.

In the first few years after his birth, he couldn’t accept Tang Sen and Xu Shuhui. His mind was filled with destructive and aggressive thoughts from his past life, pushing him to yearn for the blue planet where his familiar culture was. He couldn’t stand it here any longer.

If he hadn’t discovered martial arts, he might’ve become a young man who spent all day harassing respectable women on the streets with his malicious followers. In essence, martial arts saved him.

When his master Tang Hongtao solemnly bundled his hair within the headdress, it signified the formal end of the coming-of-age ceremony. Next, it was time for meals. For the first time, Tang Luo sat down with the leaders of the Tang Clan as Tang Luo himself.

Besides his father Tang Sen and his master Tang Hongtao, the great elder Tang Zhi, the sixth elder Tang Gaomin, and the clan chief Tang Siyuan were also present at the main table.

“Thank you, clan leader and the Sixth Elder, for attending my ceremony ” Tang Luo said sincerely to Tang Zhi and Tang Gaomin.

The busiest person in the Tang Clan right now should be the clan leader And the Sixth Elder, who was responsible for financial affairs, must also be extremely busy. Their attendance at Tang Luo’s coming of age ceremony, despite their busy schedules, demonstrated the significance they placed on him and their intent to repair relationships.

Those who could be humble like water could conquer the world. Tang Zhi was truly unfathomable. A clan leader with such wisdom could perfectly balance the various forces within the Tang Clan without worrying about his status.

All martial artists were proud and independent, the stronger, the more so. Tang Sen was taciturn and stubborn. Tang Zuo was intelligent and sensitive. Tang Zu was strict and stubborn. Tang Kuan was knowledgeable but indecisive. The Martial Hall, the clan temple, the clan institute, and several other significant clans were constantly in conflict over resources. But ever since Tang Zhi took charge, this became a thing of the past. It wasn’t because people had changed, but because of a balance among the forces.

Perfectly integrating the forces within the clan enabled it to be commanded seamlessly. Given the size of the Tang Clan’s forces, this was no easy feat. Since the clan leader and the Sixth Elder had shown their intentions, Tang Luo also decided to come clean: “I apologize to the clan leader and the Sixth Elder for my offensive words at the clan temple earlier this month. I hope both of you will find it in your hearts to forgive me.”

His sudden apology attracted the other people’s attention. Because Tang Zhi had ordered everyone to leave that day, only the three people present knew about the conflict in the back hall.

The great elder Tang Siyuan, his father Tang Sen, and his master Tang Hongtao all looked over curiously.

Clan leader Tang Zhi and the Sixth Elder Tang Gaomin smiled at each other. Tang Gaomin said to Tang Luo, “Your sincere heart is acknowledged by heaven and earth. Why would I take offence?”

Although Tang Luo had relinquished his robe of honor, the leaders of the Tang Clan still addressed him with respect because his contribution to the Tang Clan had exceeded those of ordinary elders. Regaining his rank was just a matter of their intentions. Therefore, they used this title to express their respect for Tang

Clan leader Tang Zhi agreed with this response by nodding, expressing his approval.

The little misunderstanding was resolved with just a few words. Everyone at the table nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere was joyful, with toasts made and cups exchanged.

After three rounds of drinks, Clan Chief Tang Zhi said to Tang Luo, “The coming-of-age ceremony is concluded. Do you remember the request you didn’t propose after the resource supplies from the Minor Spiritual Realm? Have you decided now?”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else at the table put down their bowls and chopsticks quietly. Even Tang Sen, who had been munching on beast meat started to chew softly.?????????????????????????????? ’

Ordaining Tang Luo to make a wish was a decision unanimously passed at the clan meeting after Tang Luo’s honor robe was stripped off. The behavior of stripping him of his elder status after he was deemed meritorious was unfair, and no members of the clan could accept it. With the unsuccessful persuasion of Tang Hongtao to restore Tang Luo’s elder status, the upper echelons came up with this way of making amends.

‘Just to be clear, if you want to request the position of a deity, then don’t speak,” Great Elder Tang Siyuan timely added. Whether or not the Tang Clan would invite a deity to participate in clan matters in the future, the deity position was currently equivalent to a god’s position. It would be a waste of talent to enshrine a fifteen-year-old boy who was at the prime of his life and needed to contribute to the clan.

“No, I don’t want the deity position.” Tang Luo put down his bowl and chopsticks with a smile, feeling a little excited. He had been planning to propose this to the clan after his coming-of-age ceremony, but he didn’t expect the clan leader to bring it up first. This was good too: “I want to establish a new independent organisation under the Martial Hall. We will share tasks from the Battle Hall, and I will have direct control over it. It will only be dispatched by the clan leader during wartime.”

Everyone at the table was surprised that Tang Luo proposed to independently establish an organisation the moment he opened his mouth. The proposal that it will only be dispatched by the clan leader during wartime made this organisation entirely under his control, with rights superior even to those of the Dark Thunder Hall.

For a moment, everyone at the table was confused about Tango Luo’s intention of making such a request. Even Tang Zhi was deep in thought.

However, the Sixth Elder Tang Gaomin looked rather excited and repeatedly waved his hands, “No! Tang Luo, you’ve already done more than enough by warning the civilians about the flood three days in advance and letting Du Sha lift the mountain ban. Why go to such lengths!?”

This sudden outburst drew everyone’s attention. However, they didn’t understand the correlation between this new organisation and the ordinary folks of Xiling.

Upon hearing this, Tang Luo realized that Tang Gaomin had misunderstood Overseeing the finances, the Sixth Elder was particularly sensitive to these calculations and immediately linked Tang Luo’s proposal to establish a new department under the Martial Hall to the 1.6 million Xiling civilians currently crowded on Red Cloud Mountain.

He thought that Tang Luo intended to gather all the refugees into this new department in order to seek food aid under the guise of establishing a new department to prevent them from starving to death.

Although contributions during wartime cannot be directly exchanged for strategic supplies for outsiders according to the wartime regulations, once these civilians are included in the new department, they would be considered insiders. And there was a clear rule in Tang laws that resources should be distributed according to clan hierarchy during disasters. If that were the case the department overseeing finance would have no reason to refuse, no matter how astronomical the figures were.

They could say that they really misunderstood. Ever since Tang Zhi rejected his proposal to use clan supplies to secure provisions at the back hall last time, he had no intention of getting grain from the clan and had another plan in mind.

But the Sixth Elder still thought Tang Luo would take a roundabout way to save the country. It could only be said that Tang Gaomin had not fully grasped his methodology. For the grain issue, he had already found a solution and was about to explain when he heard Clan Chief Tang Zhi say seriously, “Accepted “
