Chapter 22: What Shall I Do?
All the elders fell to their knees and begged Xu Zhengyu for mercy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xu Rui's face was also very ugly, he didn't expect Xu Zhengyu to be so young and vigorous. He didn't mean to speak for Xu Zhengyu at all, he straightened his face and looked at Xu Zhengyu who was sitting on the ground stunned, his white clothes stained red with blood.
Xu Ya glared angrily and looked at Xu Zhengyu without the slightest pity. In fact, only he knows that what he said to Xu Zhengyu was not to force Xu Duan to be the young head of the family, but to test what kind of heart Xu Zhengyu has inherited the complete Lechuan bloodline that is rare in 10,000 years.
The result is obvious, those who can achieve great things are not informal, and if they can't even tolerate this, they will not achieve much in the future. However, what Xu Ya didn't expect was that Xu Zhengyu didn't really become a strong man, just because of his arrogance and unabashed speech, which led to this genius with Lechuan bloodline ending up in the future with blood and bones.
"Get down!" Xu Ya didn't have any expression on his face, Gu Jing had no waves, and put away his momentum. A smile appeared on his face, as if nothing had happened just now.
The elders stood up and returned to their seats. Xu Zhengyu was taken out by Xu Jun, and Xu Jun, who was supporting Xu Zhengyu, didn't know what to say in his ear, but saw a cruel smile in Xu Zhengyu's eyes, and the corners of his mouth were upturned, looking very insidious and cunning.
The same was true of Xu Jun's face. Originally, Xu Jun was thin and tall, his face looked extremely sinister, his eyebrows and eyes were bent downward, his nose was small, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be naturally curved upward. Coupled with his current appearance, the whole person looks extremely terrifying, and children will definitely cry when they see it.
Xu Jun returned to the main hall and happened to hear Xu Ya's words.
"As for the young family master, didn't you say that it will take another ten years to be officially selected, okay, then wait for ten years, but I need some family resources for Duan'er in these ten years. What do you think? Xu Ya looked at everyone with unquestioning eyes, as if they would not give up if they did not agree.
Xu Ling and the elders are also not good at saying anything, it has only been ten years, and it is natural to give some help to the son of the old family master. Everyone didn't say anything, but they agreed.
"Ya Lao, you see, is it okay to hold an ancestor worship ceremony the day after tomorrow?" Xu Ling preached cautiously, not with Xu Ya's face. Since Xu Ya showed the momentum just now, he was afraid, I am afraid that now the entire Xu family is not his opponent combined. Unconsciously became more in awe of Xu Ya, no wonder Nine Elder Xu Fengsheng respected Xu Ya so much, now he knew the reason.
"Okay, you are ready for this. Also, one thing. Since you think Duan'er is not capable of being the young head of the family, then I will be the acting head of the family from today, how about it, how about I be the acting head of the family? Xu Ya grinned, the strong momentum leaked out again, there was a domineering spirit that could not be refused under the smile, he looked at the elders who had unnatural faces when he heard this, but Xu Fengsheng smiled, as if he was very agreeable, and Xu Jun's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he hurriedly lowered his head, his eyes rolled around, and he didn't let others see anything, he didn't know what he was thinking.
Xu Ling only thought about it for a moment, without any mud and water, and responded directly: "It's all up to the old man's orders." ”
Xu Ya looked at him with satisfaction and continued: "Don't worry, I'm naturally not suitable for managing the family, I don't like to do such tedious things in the first place, I'm just a name, and you still have the final say on everything else." ”
I thought that Xu Ya was going to rely on his strength and the order of the head of the family to squeeze the power of the elders. Hearing Xu Ya say this, Xu Jun, who had a bad face, was also relieved and returned to his normal look.
"As for Xu Ling, let's serve as the Great Elder, and so on for the rest of the Elders, the Nine Elders will be the Ten Elders." Xu Ya waved his hand casually and said.
"Okay, Xu Ling, arrange a place for the old man to live."
Xu Ling was just about to arrange, Xu Rui got up first, arched his hands towards Xu Ya, and his face looked unusually respectful, this was not on this occasion He pretended, he didn't know Xu Ya's identity before, but after knowing it, he found that Xu Ya's strength was unfathomable, for a small person like him, it was an eye-opener, so he was also very respectful to Xu Ya, and even his speech became very unnatural.
"Tooth Lao, there was negligence a few days ago, please don't blame it. I have a house in the stockade, and I will rest at my place. Duan'er also went over together. ”
When Xu Ling heard this, he was not very happy in his heart, after all, he could please Ya Lao and say some good things for Xu Zhengyu.
"Tooth Lao, I'd better find you a secluded place."
"No need. I don't care, old man, just go to Xu Rui. Okay, let's all disperse. They all went to prepare for the worship of their ancestors the day after tomorrow. After Xu Ya finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the main hall, and Xu Rui, Xu Duan and Xu Fei'er also walked out one after another.
Only the elders who had just been 'demoted' were left in the main hall.
"Now that everyone is clear about the matter, let's do what we usually do, don't reveal the identity of the old man, and tell you later, just say that the biological flesh and blood of the head of the family will come back with the order of the head of the family, and prepare to worship the ancestors the day after tomorrow."
Xu Ling was very fluent in talking to the nine elders.
"Also, you can motivate everyone a little, just say that the hope of the Xu family is here, and you must cultivate diligently. Let's go and prepare. After Xu Ling finished speaking, he put his elbow on the handle of the chair, supported his forehead, and gently rubbed his temples.
Except for Xu Fengsheng, who cultivated himself to gain vitality, the rest of the elders were also very old, and they were all close to two hundred years old. The high-level members of the Xu family are now such people, and those who are older than them are either not too high in cultivation, or they are staying outside in Xujia Village to recuperate. Either they were unwilling to break through the restrictions of the Soul Raiding Curse and end up with a broken soul. (The average life expectancy of the average person in the Yangyuan Continent is about 150.) The qi of nature exists between heaven and earth, and it is also the qi of life, so the higher the cultivation, the more lifespan there is. This is also the reason why many ancient forces have been able to occupy the mainland for a long time. )
On the way to Xu Rui's house in the village, Xu Duan's face was still not good-looking, his face was gloomy, like dark clouds, lightning and thunder, about to erupt, Xu Rui and Xu Ya naturally saw Xu Duan's displeasure, and they were helpless in their hearts, and they didn't say anything.
Xu Fei'er stepped forward stupidly, and said to Xu Duan with a hippie smile: "Brother, what's wrong with you, why is your face stiff, with a stinky face, as if people don't pay you money." ”
Xu Duan didn't speak, stared at the two tiger eyes, and glanced at Xu Fei'er.
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Xu Fei'er turned her face and walked forward quickly. pestered Xu Rui to talk about some things in the village.
In the Xu family village in this valley, every house is very simple, of course, this is just from the outside, just like the Xu Ling family, you can't see anything from the outside, but after entering, just like some big families, there should be something, and there are not.
Outside the village is a beautiful scenery, flowers and plants are everywhere, the valley is not big, it is not small, there is a lake in the valley, the periphery is a mountain, a good beauty that makes people forget to return.
When the four of them came to Xu Rui's house, Xu Ya was a little surprised, it seems that the current development of the Xu family is still okay. In Xu Rui's house, there are many murals of landscapes, flowers and birds hanging in various places in the main hall, and there are several chairs in the room, tables and chairs, and delicate ceramic vases on each table.
"I didn't expect that. You're living a pretty comfortable life. Xu Ya joked.
The old man laughed. Xu Rui now respects Xu Ya very much and doesn't dare to make a mistake.
"Okay, don't look so respectful, it's annoying to look at, I don't have so much to do, old man." Xu Ya smiled and glared at Xu Rui.
Although he heard Xu Ya say this, Xu Rui still couldn't be fully relieved for a while, and his speech still seemed a little unnatural.
In the evening, Xu Rui went to Xu Xinli's house and asked for some food and wine from him, and Xu Xinli also came with him, discussing some trivial matters with Xu Ya.
Xu Rui saw that Xu Xinli had drunk too much, and he chatted with Xu Ya with a smile and a smile, if he knew Xu Ya's true identity, I am afraid he would not dare to do so. But this is also very good, Xu Rui did not do much to obstruct it.
After a day's journey, Xu Fei'er went back to rest after eating. Xu Duan was sitting in the courtyard, looking up at the sky, looking at the beautiful stars, not knowing what he was thinking.
