Saying that the Xu Clan of Yuanzhou is a relative of the Tang Clan is not entirely accurate, as the Xu Clan did not fully recognize the Tang Clan as one of its own. Possibly, only the Yuanzhou branch of the Xu Clan recognized the Tang Clan as relatives, and this recognition only extended to the family of Tang Sen.
Old Xu has been in Xiling for half a year and has never thought of visiting the Tang Clan's headquarters or meeting the leader of the Tang Clan, let alone formally showing any kind of greetings.
Such behavior is not only because the Xu Clan looks down on the Tang Clan, but also because the elopement of Xu Shuhui did not receive the understanding or approval of the Xu Clan.
As a representative of the Xu Clan who travels around the world, naturally he cannot step out of line to acknowledge the relative standing of the Tang Clan.
