It has entered the early summer, the temperature in Wenchuan City is gradually rising, many people feel a little upset and irritable recently, the ice shops that have been closed for half a year in the city have opened again, and many people who can afford to buy ice have lined up in front of the ice shop, waiting for the ice to go home to cool off.

In this way, when it was a little stuffy, although there were many people sitting in the lobby of a family in the inner city, no one spoke, and the whole hall seemed extremely depressed, and many people saw sweat on their foreheads but did not dare to move, for fear that those sitting on the main seat would be angry.

"Knock...... Boom...... Dong ...... "The person sitting on the main seat on the right side was obviously the highest status in this large group, seeing that the people in the whole room were quiet like stones, there was no trace of emotion on his face, but the fingers of his right hand gently knocked on the arm of the chair, and the rhythm was very slow, as if he was in a good mood.

But people other than him didn't think so, their hearts were startled with the sound of "dong dong", but its frequency was very low, making everyone feel a little out of breath.

Suddenly, the sound of "dong dong" came to an abrupt end, and everyone's heartbeat also stopped, as if the air was frozen.

"Why don't you speak?" The man on the throne asked softly.

As soon as he spoke, the air instantly came alive again, and almost everyone present subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and the unanimous result was that the sound of air coming out of the room was suddenly amplified more than ten times, and it suddenly made them stiff again!

"Hehe, it looks like everyone is nervous." The people on the throne were still joking, "But at this time yesterday, you were still happily discussing how to divide the Yu family's property, why did you coax it at this time?" ”

No one answered.

Touching the beard on his chin, he glanced up at the portraits of the heads of the family hanging on the walls on either side of the lobby, and then fixed his gaze on the last portrait.

The portrait was painted with his appearance, which was completed five years ago, and he still clearly remembers the excitement when he hung this portrait with his own hands, and the vow he made at that time to lead the Zhu family to become a stronger family.

But looking at that painting now, he felt extremely ironic.

However, in the past five years, the Zhu family not only did not make the slightest progress, but also had an accident when they were trying their best to prepare to bring down the Yu family among the four major families, and saw that the family was ruined.

If the Zhu family is gone, he will be the sinner of the entire family, hundreds of years of inheritance will be broken in his generation, he will definitely not have the face to see the ancestors below, and then look at the clansmen in this hall now, his heart is unprecedentedly calm.

"Home...... The head of the house ......" a weak voice rang out in the crowd.

Seeing that someone was finally able to muster up the courage to speak, the man immediately cast his eyes over, and found that he was usually the favorite to pat himself on the back of a branch brother, this person has no real talent, but fortunately, no matter what task he is given, he can complete it to the letter, very easy to use, so he was given a lot of status, seeing that it was him who spoke, the man did not have any expectations for what he was about to say, and only handed over a look to signal him to continue.

Receiving the gesture from the head of the family, the man swallowed his saliva to calm his heartbeat, and tried to make his voice sound less weak: "I think the news released by the Yu family still needs to be studied, the Yu family has been based in Wenchuan City for hundreds of years, and they have never heard of a cultivator, why would they release the news that a cultivator with the blood of the Yu family returned to the family when we were being forced step by step?" There must be a deception in this! ”

As soon as these words were spoken, echoes erupted in the lobby, and the room that was quiet just now suddenly seemed to be in the middle of the city, and many people grabbed the people next to them and said similar things to what they just said, looking indignant, and they didn't know whether they were convincing themselves or the people next to them.

Seeing this, the head of the Zhu family frowned, "Smack!" A slap was slapped on the coffee table next to him, and the teacups on the table jumped up, making a "Bang!" The crunch of the sound.

The lobby was silent for an instant, and everyone's movements were frozen, staring at the head of the house, looking trembling.

"Look at what you look like now!" The head of the Zhu family's face was almost the same color as the bottom of the pot, "One piece of news will make all of you mess up!" Are you still the most important decision-maker of the Zhu family?! With goods like you, it's no wonder that the Zhu family will have a future! ”

was belittled like this, everyone present was shocked, and then there was a sense of dissatisfaction and grievance in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say anything, because although what the head of the family said was exaggerated, it was very suitable for the current situation, and the head of the family was now in a rage, so it was better not to make a sound, so as not to cause a fire and die without knowing how to die.

"Hehe, at this time, there are still people who believe that the news released by the Yu family is fake, have you really used your brains to think about it?"

"I believe everyone knows what the situation of the Yu family is now, and all of you here were still here to laugh at them yesterday. Dare to release the news of the return of the family cultivator under such circumstances, if this news is fake, the Yu family will be dispersed tomorrow, not to mention that this family cultivator also has the background of a giant like Qianyuanzong, only a pig brain would think of using such fake news to delay time! ”

"Yes, there is no precedent for cultivators in the ancestors of the Yu family, but have you noticed it, what is the word used by people? It's a 'return'! The Yu family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there are countless side branches that have been divided, not to mention anything else, let's just say that in our Yuqi Dao, how many people with the surname Yu are counted up and several generations are people with names and surnames on the Yu family tree? What is the probability that these people will give birth to people with the talent of cultivators after marrying people from other families? As long as there is even one, and the Yu family is willing to spend effort to win it over, will it not succeed? ”

"It's not like this in our Zhu family, eighty years ago, there was a branch of the Zhu family that had been separated for almost a hundred years, and there was a cultivator in the family, but when the news reached our master's family, that person had already left Yuqi Dao to join the master, and when he finally contacted him, he was refused, and he had to give up after many unsuccessful attempts."

"If the Zhu family will have this kind of thing, can't the Yu family have it? Maybe they had been in contact with that cultivator for a long time, but they didn't succeed just like us, and they fought hard and succeeded at a critical moment of survival? ”

"If something happens, don't think of a solution, everyone is here to doubt the truth of the news, it's all useless!"

There was silence in the lobby.

Some people were reflecting, while others were shocked by the fact that the Zhu family used to have family cultivators, because they had never heard of such a thing.

After about five minutes, the head of the family took a sip of tea from the teacup, and then put the teacup down heavily: "Say, who has a useful proposal?" The word "useful" was emphasized by him, causing several people who were about to say something to close their mouths again.

It was quiet again.

The corners of the family's mouth hooked, revealing a sarcastic smile: "Is there no one?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the young man standing behind him take a step forward, walked to the level of his seat, bowed slightly and said, "Father, I have a proposal. ”

The head of the family glanced at his eldest son, who was calm, with satisfaction, and then glanced at the clansmen in the hall, and a wave of emotion of a successor was born, and he was in a much better mood.

"Tell me about it."

"The Yu family will choose to release this news at this time, which proves that the authenticity of the news is basically not false, combined with what happened at the North City Gate yesterday, it is not difficult to deduce that the cultivator only came to Wenchuan City yesterday, since the news was released yesterday, and our spies in the Yu family have no news at all, it proves that the cultivator has not completed the official return ceremony, and the name has not been entered into the family tree, I think, we can find a breakthrough in this point." At this point, the young man stopped and looked at his father, and did not continue, as if waiting for his evaluation.

The head of the family's eyes flashed, obviously thinking of something according to his son's words, and a sincere smile suddenly appeared on his face, and his gaze at his son became more and more gentle.

"You have really grown up, very good, it seems that after this incident, I will be able to hand over the Zhu family to you with confidence, maybe in your hands, the Zhu family will burst out with unprecedented energy."

The young man smiled modestly, not showing too much emotion because of his father's praise.

He has a few pounds and a few taels he knows very well, maybe he really has a high talent, but experience is not something that can be supplemented by the mind alone, his father has been in charge of the Zhu family for decades, and he has only been weak for a few years, the gap between the two is difficult to make up, in order to better lead the Zhu family in the future, he still has a lot to learn, if he is complacent at this time, he still has two brothers behind him watching.

"You go on, that's a good point, you don't have to wait for this matter to be over, you can start taking charge of the Zhu family today."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people in the hall were different, but most of them lowered their heads at the same time and hid their emotions - there were not only the current head of the family standing in front of him, but also the next head of the house, if he was caught with pigtails at this time, there would be no good fruit to eat.

The young man waited a little, he should be sorting out his thoughts, and only spoke again after about half a minute: "The fact that the ancestral hall has not been opened proves that the cultivator of the Yu family has not yet been on the genealogy, and it may be because he has not been fully prepared today, but if he has not been on it after a few days, it will prove that although the cultivator is in the Yu family at this time, this time he only came to use it as a tiger skin banner for the Yu family, the purpose is just to help the Yu family get through this difficulty, but we don't have much ambition for our Zhu family, we just need to wait a few more days and take a few steps back, As long as there is no news after a few days, then the matter will be solved. ”

The head of the house nodded with satisfaction and asked him, "How many steps do you think it is appropriate for us to take a step back?" ”

The young man thought for a while and replied: "First stop the suppression of the Yu family's shops for the time being, and the rest can be as usual, as long as the Yu family is given time to breathe." ”

The head of the house clapped: "Just do as you say!" ”
