No way! Kneeling and worshiping? Absolutely not!

“Emmanuel, it’s your turn!” Queenie and Zaniel had already worshiped the old

godfather and were waiting for Emmanuel and his wife. When they

approached, their eyes seemed to hold some expectation.

Emmanuel nodded and took the jackets Yosef handed him, passing one of

them to Mackenzie. Unexpectedly, she did not accept it.

He was slightly taken aback.

The next moment, Mackenzie walked directly toward the old godfather with

confident steps, speaking in a composed manner, “Happy New Year to the

old godfather of Hero’s Village!”

“Uh-”

Seeing this woman deviating from the village customs, the surrounding

villagers were immediately taken aback and looked at each other in alarm.

“Bold! How dare you show such disrespect to the old godfather!” A discussion

ensued.

Emmanuel smiled wryly, thinking that something bad will probably happen.

Indeed, Yosef immediately became agitated and warned Mackenzie, “Show

some respect!”

However, the aged old godfather reached out to stop him, smiling at her. “Oh,

Happy New Year! Who is this girl?”

“My name is Mackenzie Quillen. I married Emmanuel this year and came to

pay respects to you, Old Godfather,” she responded calmly, unaffected by

the angry stares of the villagers and Yosef’s warning.

Terence watched this scene with great interest from the crowd, knowing that

his granddaughter would not adhere to the customs of Hero’s Village.

“Oh, so you’re Emmanuel’s wife? Haha… Good, good!” The old godfather

Taughed excitedly, “Another loyal and virtuous family is blossoming. Hero’s

Village is fortunate!”

Mackenzie remained silent, simply watching him.

After a while, the old godfather continued, “Since you’re Emmanuel’s wife, why

don’t you worship me as the old godfather?”

“There’s no need for that,” she replied directly.

Feeling the waves of anger from the surrounding villagers, Emmanuel

became frightened and quickly walked up to her side, speaking on her

behalf, “Old Godfather, I’m Emmanuel. It’s Mackenzie’s first time in Hero’s

Village, and she doesn’t understand our village customs. I apologize on her

behalf. Please don’t be angry.”

The old godfather waved his hand, and his initially elderly and frail expression

became slightly intimidating. He stared at Mackenzie for a long time, but she

showed no signs of fear. Then, he forcefully struck his cane on the ground

and questioned loudly, “Why is there no need? Paying respects to the old

godfather through kneeling has been a tradition of the Chanaea for

thousands of years. Do you outsiders forget about the traditions of loyalty

and filial piety? Do you know that loyalty and filial piety are not only personal

virtues but also the foundation of a country?”

It had to be said that this Hero’s Village old godfather had an imposing

presence.

Seeing him like this, Terence and Alfred felt somewhat powerless. After all, the

old godfather was over a hundred years old–thirty years older than them. If

he questioned them, they would not know how to respond.

However, Mackenzie remained expressionless, neither agitated nor afraid. “To

borrow the words of the renowned scholar, Yankee Yorsen, loyalty is loyalty to

the nation, and filial piety is filial piety to one’s parents. Old Godfather, you

were Emmanuel’s grandfather’s teacher. For me, we have no familial

relationship. You are not my monarch, nor are you my parents. I don’t need to

be loyal and filial to you, but… Chanaea indeed upholds the traditional virtues

of respecting the old and caring for the young. I respect you as an elder and

have specially come to pay my respects to you and offer a money packet as

a gesture. Please accept it!” After speaking, she stared squarely at the old

godfather’s anger, placing the cash envelopes in his hand.

Everyone in Hero’s Village was stunned by her actions. Who doesn’t know that

the old godfather detests receiving gifts and never accepted cash

envelopes?

However, this time, the old godfather held onto the cash envelope without

putting it away or throwing it, just staring at Mackenzie, the unconventional

young girl.
