Chapter 240: The Patriarch's Position
To be honest, his move made me very confused. I haven't even fully understood whether this Fifth Elder is simply against Wuheng, or if, like Wuheng, he also covets the throne of this patriarch.
However, he flew into the air like this, and I didn't even know what to do with it for a while. Zuo Liang suddenly crossed in front of me, and I knew in my heart that Zuo Liang was not his opponent. So he stood up and pushed Zuo Liang aside.
Zuo Liang looked back at me in some panic, but I released the spiritual power of the nine-tailed fox at the same time. In an instant, the primordial spirit of my huge nine-tailed fox filled the entire high platform.
Fifth Elder Nadi's eyes suddenly became frightened and surprised, in fact, it was not just him, everyone including him showed a surprised expression.
I smiled coldly, and suddenly teleported to Neddy before he could reach my side. Then the resoluteness at the wrist turned into a sharp dagger, right in front of his forehead.
With a bang, Neddy was pressed to the ground by me. Cold sweat ran down his cheeks, and the dagger in my hand shone cold.
Wu Heng obviously didn't expect that my Yuan Shen was really a nine-tailed fox. He was stunned for a few seconds, but was able to come to his senses before the others could react. He sneered and walked over to our side, then crouched down beside Nedy, "You are so bold that you dare to be rude to the new patriarch!"
I watched Nedi's pupils shake beneath me, and I didn't want to complicate things too much. I originally came to save Qingyu and Zuo Liang, and the contradictions within the fox clan, no matter what, it was not my turn for an outsider to intervene.
I got up and let go of Neddy, but Neddy kept moving. One of the elders summoned his men to carry him back to his chair and sit down.
I glanced at the crowd and returned to my place.
"Originally, I was entrusted to take care of your fox clan before Piao Piao died. To be honest, I don't have any idea of the position of this patriarch. To put it bluntly, I'm also very busy. I'm really not interested in your internal contradictions.
However, since I have been entrusted by the fox Piaopiao, what she thinks is what I think. Help the fox clan get rid of the control of the nine infants, I will do what I say. However, I can't stay with you fox people for long. So, I need to elect a new patriarch. Naturally, this new patriarch will take the place of Piao Piao and me, and manage your entire fox clan well.
However, in this short period of time, I discovered all kinds of shortcomings of your fox clan. First of all, your infighting makes me very uneasy. I really think that if any of the elders here were to be elected to take over the patriarch's position, it would cause disapproval from all sides, right?"
Several elders listened to my words and nodded silently.
"I'm not familiar with you fox clans, but I wonder if you will have a better way?"
Several elders were silent for a while, and no one complained about being the first to speak. But when I saw my indifferent face on the high platform, slowly, there was a commotion below. Only the second elder was unbalanced, and he stared at me with a frown as soon as I began to speak, as if he didn't understand what I was doing now.
I deliberately smiled at him, and his brow furrowed even tighter.
However, I looked away from him, and I almost laughed in my heart. Wuheng's utilitarian heart is so heavy, he must not have thought that I would unload the mill and kill the donkey after he put me on the position of patriarch. I just think that he must be dying of anger now, but on the surface, he still has to maintain a proud appearance, and his heart can't help but be very happy.
Hmph, who let him treat my Aunt Qingqing and Zuo Liang like that! When he was cruel to them, he didn't have the slightest compassion.
Suddenly, I was a little surprised, as if something was wrong. It wasn't until one of the elders stood up and spoke that my thoughts became clearer. Isn't that right! Didn't I come this time to hand over the position of patriarch? Didn't I come here to fight for power! Since Wuheng has the ability to take over the fox clan, why don't I do it happily?
However, I don't know why, Xu is Wuheng's sinister and cunning image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and I always feel that it is so easy to hand over the entire fox clan, there will be a feeling of being entrusted to inhuman. If I really entrusted the wrong person, then wouldn't I be sorry for the dead fox Piaopiao and the predecessors in the boulder valley to sink into the sky?
Thinking about it this way, I felt more and more that this thing could not be done so hastily. It's not just a matter of my credibility, it's a matter of responsibility to an entire community. Although I don't like this group.
I didn't actually understand what the elder said, but the general meaning was to flatter me to the fullest, and to praise the former patriarch Fox Piaopiao. As for dry goods, not at all.
I looked helplessly at the same flattering faces of the crowd, and said in my heart, Is the fox clan really going to be decadent?
At this moment, the three elders, who had been unknown, stood up. He hadn't spoken since the beginning, as if everything that was happening here now had nothing to do with him. So he only moved a little now, and immediately attracted the attention of others.
He seemed to be drunk, staggering and top-heavy when he stood up. He turned to look at the elders, and then burped.
"Wait, it's really noisy. What's so difficult about this? In fact, you all know in your own hearts what you want! There are people who can sit on the position of patriarch, and I believe that all of you have this strength. However, under the premise that the strength of the elders of all parties is not weak, if any one of you becomes the patriarch, it will inevitably attract the jealousy of the others!
After saying this, as if he had exhausted his strength, he sat down again. His eyes were slightly closed, as if he was asleep. But everyone was still waiting for the second half of his sentence, and the four elders sitting beside him came over and pushed him.
He hummed and had to open his eyes again.
"Third Elder, you go on!" Seeing that he seemed to be wandering into space, the fourth elder couldn't help but increase the strength in his hands.
"Yes, yes, go on!" the third elder struggled for a moment, then said, "Actually, it is not appropriate for any of us elders to be elected. There is only one person, as long as he leads our entire fox clan, then it is the only one who will return to the heart!"
I don't know why, Wuheng suddenly showed a very proud look. The other patriarchs also turned their heads to look in the direction of Wu Heng. Maybe although everyone has a lot of dissatisfaction with the unbalanced domineering, everyone still recognizes some of his abilities in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, the third elder staggered to his feet at this time, and went straight to the first chair without balance. It was the chair of the Great Elder's Mansion, and he was in retreat, so there was no one sitting on his chair.
"That's our eldest brother, the Great Elder of the Fox Clan, I recommend the Fox Clan!" he seemed to want to sit down, but sat down directly on the ground. So much so that the subordinates hurriedly helped him back to his chair.
At this time, I saw that Wuheng's whole face seemed to have turned into a huge purple-skinned eggplant, and it was about to explode.
Qingyu was smiling hard behind me, and I gently pulled the corner of her clothes to let her control herself.
As soon as the third elder's words fell, he heard the voices of several other elders whispering, which roughly meant words of approval.
I leaned forward slightly on the high seat, trying to hear their conversation, and my unbalanced face became even worse.
"The eldest brother has been in retreat for many years, if he is elected as the patriarch, wouldn't it be no different from the nominal one?" Finally, Wuheng couldn't bear it anymore, and just argued loudly.
Unexpectedly, everyone's eyes looked at him strangely, and there seemed to be a mocking smile on the corner of their mouths. I was looking at him with such a smile, and I thought to myself, maybe it was a sign of isolation!
Suddenly, Wuheng glared at me fiercely, as if to blame me for not being able to speak. I smiled coldly, and said in my heart I don't know if your flower drunk is genuine, but whether it's true or not, I won't drink this wine!
At this time, Huo Yumiao, who had been sitting in front of the high platform, stood up. He changed his previous unprofessional, frivolous expression, got up and saluted everyone. "Brothers, I was very excited after receiving the invitation to the ceremony yesterday. So I have sent someone to the Firefox Cave to invite the eldest brother to come back to participate. Calculate the time, it should be time!"
As soon as his words fell, he heard someone outside the door say, "The Great Elder has arrived!"
Several elders, including Wu Heng, all turned to look at the door. A sedan chair came in leisurely, and then a man in purple clothes stepped down from the sedan chair. I originally thought that even if the Great Elder Shulou in their mouth was not seventy or eighty, he would have to be a man who knew the destiny of heaven. But I didn't expect this so-called Great Elder to look unusually delicate!
Although he looks light, he feels a little water chestnut, and there is no unbalanced femininity. On the contrary, it is very manly.
A smile hung on his lips, and his eyes curved into a beautiful crescent shape.
He returned the salute to the elders and came to his place. Then he looked up and met my eyes. Then, I saw that his eyes suddenly shook slightly, as if he was frightened by the primordial spirit of my nine-tailed fox.
That's right, with his qualifications, if the Nine-Tailed Fox Family had my existence early on, he wouldn't have been unaware. So, for him, I was a person who came out of nowhere.
However, he only quickly put away the shock and gave me a snort. "I've been cultivating in the mountains, and I rarely go back to this fox hole. It's really sad to not know that my Piaopiao sister has fallen. Fortunately, today is the enthronement ceremony of the new patriarch, and I naturally can't miss such a big event. ”
I smiled at him and tried to keep myself relaxed. Because I was seeing behind the building at the moment, a huge nine-tailed fox's primordial god appeared. This is a fiery red fox, its body is larger than my white fox, and even the red fox's body is surrounded by raging fire.
Is this my dismount?
