In the bamboo house, everyone sat upright.
Eight elders of the Joe clan sat opposite, looking grim. Among them, Joe Tempo sat on the edge. It could be seen that he was of the lowest rank of the eight people.
“So, are you all friends of Jo and Joe?”
In the front, an old man with grey long hair to the waist slowly poured tea for Andrew and the others.
His every move was under etiquette. Every move had been thoroughly refined without any mistake.
“Yes, mahathera.” Joe said respectfully, “These are Jo’s friends. This is Andrew, the team leader of Jo’s team.
This is Signa, the princess of the Iron Empire. As you know, now the empire was collapsed, and she can only be regarded as an ordinary person.
But it didn’t affect her identity.”
“Oh?”
The mahathera looked at Andrew with contempt in his eyes, but he still said politely, “You are a human at such a young age. And you can study in Law School.
I thought my stupid daughter has always been taken care of by you.”
“No, Jo also played an irreplaceable role in the team, and I was taken care of by her in many places. You’re welcome, sir.”
“Oh? Even such a weak and stupid girl can come in handy?”
The mahathera took a sip of tea and his eyes slightly opened. The implication was self-evident.
Andrew was embarrassed.
“I’ve told you that I don’t like to come here. Look, he was mocking you.”
Andrew smiled and didn’t care about it.
The mahathera looked around and came to Joe.
All of a sudden, there was no contempt in his eyes, but more appreciation. “Joe, no wonder you are the most valued child in the younger generation. I know you will come back.
Unlike some people, even if they couldn’t come in handy, they had to escape from their family duties.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Jo.
“Father, you’ve gone too far!” Joe Tempo couldn’t help chipping in.
“Shut up! How can you speak here? It’s good that you can stay here!” Joe Tempo only retreats to his original position sulkily after the mahathera snaps.
With that, the mahathera looked at Joe again and said, “Joe, you haven’t introduced this friend to me yet.”
Joe lowered his head and said, “Yes, mahathera. This is Newton, the head of the student union of the Law School.”
“Oh? Is he the head of the student union?”
The mahathera’s eyes lit up.
He looked up and down at the Newton, especially when he found that his eyes were pure black, and his eyes were full of appreciation.
“It’s the blood of the reincarnation of gods! No wonder he is the head of the student union of the Law School. He is an excellent young man.
If only I could have a few more outstanding children in the Joe clan.”
Newton shook his hand and smiled, “No, I’m just an ordinary person. There are more excellent people than me. You’re flattering, hahaha…”
“Well, you are modest. Not bad.”
The mahathera nodded with satisfaction, showing his appreciation for Newton.
“Let me introduce myself.” The mahathera returned to his seat, straightened his back, and said, “My name is Joe Tianyuan. I’m the contemporary head of the Joe clan. Nice to meet you.”
Then Joe Tianyuan said to Andrew, “It’s a pity that Jo has broken the family rules. She deserves to be punished.
But now, we were going to hold the ceremony. Although we shouldn’t punish her now, she couldn’t live in the main room.
Mr. Andrew, please live in a side room. I’m sorry for my rudeness.”
Side room? What’s that?
Andrew didn’t think too much and was about to say yes.
But at this time, Joe said, “Mahathera, Jo is also a descendant of the direct line, and the side room is for the relatives of the descendants of the branch.
No matter what mistake she had made, it was inappropriate for her to live in a side room as the direct line of descent during the ceremony. If the news got out, how could Jo behave herself?
I want her and her friend to live in the main room with me, even if we live in the same room.”
“How dare you!”
Behind him, the second elder shouted, “Joe, don’t be disrespectful just because of your identity.
Jo has betrayed her family and came back to attend the ceremony. It’s good that she is allowed to participate in it. How dare you say that to the mahathera?
Do you still have the Joe clan in your eyes?”
“Jo is my sister. I won’t give in.”
Joe was full of energy, and with her strength, she was able to suppress the momentum of the two elders.
“Father!” Joe Tempo also summoned up the courage to beg, “Jo is your granddaughter anyway. It’s rare for her to come back. Let her live in the main room.”
In the face of the oppression of Joe and Joe Tempo, Joe Tianyuan softened.
After a long time, he sighed and said, “Okay, the end of the main room is OK.
Coincidentally, I found several good boys for her and her sister to go on blind dates.
By the way, Newton.”
Joe Tianyuan laughed and said, “Are you interested? There are many excellent girls in the Joe clan. With your talent, I will be very happy if you are willing to marry one.
The head of the student union was the head of the branch. If he could marry Jo, they would be able to build a win-win situation.”
“Ha ha ha, mahathera, you flatter me.”
Newton shook his hand and said, “But forget it. I like men.”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Andrew was even more nervous. “Are you gay?”
Newton was stunned. “What? Don’t you know?”
Andrew took a deep breath and thought to himself, “I can’t talk to him anymore.”
Joe Tianyuan’s beard bulged out of fear. After a long time, he came to his senses and sighed dejectedly, “What a pity.”
In this way, under the arrangement of Tianyuan, the maid took everyone to their rooms.
Andrew didn’t know how big Joe’s house was until he entered the house.
The whole mansion covered an area of 25000 acres, which was not counted as the bamboo forest outside the mansion.
The mountain and the river were nearby, and the scenery was beautiful.
In the whole mansion, there were thousands of people in the Joe clan, and there were also countless servants and maids.
The so-called legitimate wife was the house where Joe’s direct family members lived.
Leizhou was once a country that had been destroyed by the magic association. As the only family in this country, the Joe clan attached great importance to the rules.
When they heard that Jo could live in the main house, many members of the Joe clan cast a strange look at her.
They also looked at Andrew up and down.
After coming to the main room with the maid, they separated from Joe.
Although they all lived in the main room, the difference between the first and the last one was far, at least two hundred meters.
After entering the last chamber.
The clean and tidy room refreshed Andrew.
The tatami and the faint scent of bamboo in the air all showed the purity of the Joe clan.
“This is your room. If you need anything, please tell me at any time.”
Then the maid left respectfully.
Andrew generously led the two women into the room and tidied up their clothes.
Meanwhile, Andrew noticed that Jo didn’t look well.
“What’s wrong?” Andrew asked with concern.
Jo lowered her head with guilt and said, “I’m sorry that you were looked down upon by the mahathera because of me.
So, I said I shouldn’t have come here.”
Andrew smiled and held her in his arms. “Don’t think too much.”
Andrew’s warm embrace made Jo feel at ease.
Facing the current situation, she didn’t care about her usual cold image and hugged Andrew.
“Ahem.” Signa, who was standing next to them, noticed what was happening. She coughed to draw the attention of the two.
Andrew scratched his head apologetically and continued to pack his things.
However, at this moment.
“Hey, I heard that crap has come back. Where is she?”
Suddenly, the door was opened.
Three young men from the direct line of the Joe clan came in.
