"Brewmaster, to awaken such a profession and still have the face to step into our household!
Thunderous roars echoed in the luxurious hall, shaking the very air.
The middle-aged man with black hair and white robes clutched tightly at a profession awakening chart, as a tsunami-like terrifying aura erupted continuously from within him. "A disgrace, not even having the courage to take your own life!
Bang!!!
The profession awakening chart was slammed onto the table.

Wang Xianxian bowed his head deeply, his eyes lifelessly fixed on the form on the table.
The words on the form were especially stark,
especially the ones highlighted in red indicating the failure of talent awakening.
These few red words, along with his father's insults, pierced through the young boy's fragile self-esteem like a sword.
"The Wang family of Tiansword has been prestigious for thousands of years, renowned both at home and abroad!
For thousands of years, the professions awakened by our Wang family descendants have all been sword-related, without exception!" "Only you! Only you awakened as a Brewmaster!"
"Even failing to awaken any talent!"
"Do you want to disgrace our family, you worthless thing!"
Facing his father's fury, Wang Xianxian did not show much emotion, as he was already accustomed to his father's verbal abuse and rage. Wang Jianyan stared at Wang Xianxian, who was bowing his head, with extreme disgust in his eyes. At this moment, the noblewoman sitting beside stood up slowly and came to Wang Jianyan's side, massaging his temples. "Jianyan, don't ruin your health over this.
"Think of something happy, our Beichen has not only awakened a rare profession but also reached X-level talent.
"The government has already called to inquire, and the ten elders have exited their seclusion for this.
"You’re meeting the elders soon, you can't leave a bad impression on them, especially with the clan leader election coming up.
Hearing his wife's words, Wang Jianyan's expression eased a bit, and he snorted coldly.
"Disgraceful thing, your mother pleads on your behalf, and you don't even know to be grateful. Where are your manners!" Yet, Wang Xianxian remained unmoved by these words, silently standing in place. This action further enraged Wang Jianyan.
"You worthless thing, are you deaf!
Hearing this, the young man finally raised his head.
"She is not my mother.
This statement caused the atmosphere in the room to plummet to freezing point.
Wang Jianyan stared fiercely at his own son, as if he wanted to devour him alive. "Dare to say that again!"
Wang Xianxian calmly looked at his father, and said word by word,
"She is not my mother, my mother is Mo Wan'ge, and she has been gone for five years.
As soon as these words were spoken, a towering pressure directly surged towards Wang Xianxian.
The slender figure of the young man could hardly bear this immense pressure! Just as Wang Jianyan was about to make his move, a voice from outside the door came,
"Third Master, the ten elders request your and the Third Madam's presence, along with Young Master Xianxian, at the ancestral hall for a discussion." The guard's words stopped Wang Jianyan from his intention to deal with Wang Xianxian. He looked disdainfully at the young man who collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.
"The profession of Brewmaster, indeed just like that wine-loving wench Mo Wan'ge." After saying this, Wang Jianyan walked out with his wife.

Just as he was about to leave the hall, Wang Jianyan suddenly stopped,
"You worthless thing, hurry up and follow!"
Wang Xianxian struggled to stand up from the ground. He watched as his father and stepmother left arm in arm, his face twisted in rage, veins bulging. "My mother is humiliated, I wish I could rush up and devour their flesh, drink their blood!
But, dignity only lies at the edge of the sword, the dignity of the weak is worthless.
After a moment of silence, the young man loosened his clenched fists and lowered his head to follow.
Wang Jianyan, walking in front, glanced back at Wang Xianxian, then asked his wife,
"Is everything arranged?
Murong Wan sneered contemptuously: "Rest assured, the evidence has already been placed in his room.
"Remember not to show any flaws," Wang Jianyan repeatedly cautioned, "During this critical period, any accident could lead to failure in the election.
Murong Wan patted her husband's arm, softly saying,
"With Beichen here, which clan elder wouldn't give us some face?
"As long as we deal with Wang Xianxian, this little burden, there will be no more worries. Hearing the name Wang Xianxian, Wang Jianyan gritted his teeth and said,
"Awakening such a trash profession, truly disgracing my face!
"Surely, someone will make an issue out of this, so we must strike first!"
Murong Wan comforted: "Don't worry, Jianyan, we still have Beichen. After dealing with that little waste today, let's see who dares to bring this up in front of you.
"No matter what, Beichen's talent is now related to the future of our family. The elders will not be too harsh on you.
Thinking of his younger son, Wang Jianyan patted his wife's hand, softly saying,
"Having a wife like you, what more could I ask for? Having you as my wife is the greatest fortune of my life.
Hearing this, Murong Wan leaned her head on Wang Jianyan's shoulder: "As long as our family of three stays united, nothing can stop us...
...
Wang Family Ancestral Hall.
As a legendary family with nearly ten thousand years of heritage, the Wang family's ancestral hall was astonishingly large.
This place was not only where the clan members worshipped their ancestors but also where major decisions within the clan were made. Large family clans have a very sophisticated organizational structure and distribution of authority.
Unlike what is often depicted in novels, the strength of the head of a large Chinese family is not necessarily strong.
Because cultivation often requires a pure heart of seeking the Dao, one must be fully committed to their practice.
Top-level experts find it difficult to maintain their cultivation speed while dealing with the many affairs of the family.
Thus, each clan member has a different role within the family,
Simply put, the clan divides its members into two categories: business and martial.
Martial clan members, with exceptional talent, are solely responsible for concentrating on cultivation, earning merits for the family, and confronting enemies when necessary. They are the most crucial support for the family!
Business clan members, with average talent, are responsible for managing the family's many businesses, securing various resources for the martial clan members' cultivation. In an era dominated by mythical beasts, humans naturally follow their instincts and choose to rely on each other in the form of families, hence the concept of family is highly valued in this world!
Normally, there would never be a situation where martial clan members look down upon business clan members,
The clan members are connected by blood, respecting and supporting each other.
Their goal is to better manage the family.
However, due to Wang Beichen's special status, he was specifically targeted by the clan members.
What Wang Xianxian didn't understand was why the clan had summoned him here. He looked bewilderedly at the hundreds of elders inside the ancestral hall,
From their expressions, it was not hard to tell that something significant was about to happen today.
