The ancestral hall of the Dong family, where the tablet of the ancestors of the Dong family is enshrined, the lights are burning for a long time, the candle smoke is curling, and a young man kneels down to worship it.

The candle flame was lit and extinguished, the servants came and went, and the young man had been kneeling and worshipping here for a long time, closing his eyes and concentrating, but if he looked closely, he would find that the young man's slender willow eyebrows were wrinkled, and the corners of his eyes were beating from time to time, which showed that the young man's heart was not at peace at this time.

The wind blew, the candle flame flickered, and two figures were reflected on the ground.

In the ancestral hall, I don't know when, there was suddenly an extra person.

The young man hid his thoughts in his heart and saluted, "Zhongli meets the head of the family." ”

The ancestral hall was a little quiet, Dong Zhuofeng didn't speak, looking at the dense tablets above, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After being silent for a long time, Dong Zhuofeng bowed deeply to the tablet above, and then looked at the young man who was kneeling and buried his head, and asked, "Do you know who these people are?"

Dong Zhongli couldn't afford to bury his head, "I know." ”

Dong Zhuofeng asked again, "Then do you know why they are here?"

As if a stone had been pressed in his heart, Dong Zhongli looked ashamed, and his voice trembled unconsciously, not because he was afraid, but because he knew that he had disappointed many people.

"Know ....."

Staring at the young man for a long time, Dong Zhuofeng's face was uncertain, disappointed and angry, all kinds of tastes, but in the end, he sighed and said softly, "Get up, we didn't think about it enough, and we didn't care about what you feel in your heart." ”

Hearing this, Dong Zhongli buried his head deeper, "Zhongli is guilty, because Zhongli is young and ignorant, he only knows how to do things, ignores the repeated advice of the elders in the clan, and bears the good intentions of the elders in the clan, Zhongli is ashamed." ”

After speaking, Dong Zhongli kowtowed even more.

Knock knock knock....

Again and again, there was a dull thud and a .....

Seeing this, Dong Zhuofeng sighed again, the taste in his heart was indescribable, he raised his hand and waved lightly, the young man's body was instantly imprisoned, unable to move, revealing a face full of shame, a large red patch on his forehead, and wisps of blood, you can imagine how much strength the young man used just now.

Dong Zhuofeng put away the emotions in his heart, looked at the young man, and said extremely seriously, "I only ask once, do you have the heart to compete for the position of the next generation of family heads?"

Dong Zhongli was shocked when he heard this, and his heart was rolling, could it really be as he thought?

But he really didn't have this intention, so he wanted to bury his head in order to make his mind clear, but he forgot that he was imprisoned at the moment and couldn't move, he was a little panicked, and hurriedly said, "Zhongli doesn't dare to have such a delusion." ’

Dong Zhuofeng twisted his sword eyebrows, and said in a deep voice, "You have to think clearly, don't you dare, or don't you want to?"

Sensing the solemnity, Dong Zhong was shocked in the centrifugation, the head of the family was serious, but he couldn't help but have doubts, thought about two or three, and hesitated, "Zhong Li is puzzled, why does the head of the family have such a question, what he has repeatedly avoided in the past, for fear that Zhong Li has such thoughts, why is it ....... today?"

Dong Zhuofeng was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "In the past, you couldn't fight, and you couldn't fight, but now it's different from the past, you just need to tell me, do you want to or don't want to?"

Now it's different from the past, is it because of the second aunt?

Dong Zhongli didn't think much about it, so he replied, "Zhongli doesn't dare or want to." ”

The head of the family, the king of a county, if he doesn't want to say that he doesn't want it at all, this must be false, he has also had the dream of dominating the world in the past, but in comparison, what he prefers is to be unrestrained, and what he wants to pursue is only the peak of Xuan Xiu.

And he is still self-aware, if it is a war, he will never think that he will be inferior to anyone, but if it is said that leading a clan and shepherding a county, compared to Dong Junxu's talent, he is a little far behind, if it is for his own selfishness, and misses the family's thousand-year-old cause, then he is the eternal sinner of the Dong family, and he can't afford this responsibility.

Dong Zhuofeng raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised, "Is this true?"

Dong Zhongli did not hesitate at all, "There is no half-truth." ”

Looking at the young man, Dong Zhuofeng stretched his tone and said, "If I tell you, as long as you are willing, the position of the head of the family must be yours?"

At this moment, Dong Zhongli's narrow Danfeng eyes seemed to widen a little, and a storm was set off in his heart, and he was shocked, is this second aunt really like this?

The head of the Dong family is not a son inheriting his father's business, or a word, who is who, but must be recognized by all the lines of the Dong family, and the absolute strength to sit up.

Could it be that in the eyes of the head of the family and the elders of the clan, the second aunt can steadily defeat Dong Junxu?

Dong Zhongli couldn't believe it, he had personally experienced the power of the thunder that day, Dong Junxu's strength was unimaginable, but he couldn't question it.

Compared with the elders in the clan, he is just a fledgling hairy boy, whether it is strength or eyesight, he can not be compared now, the elders of the clan dare to be so sure, that is their own reason.

After some contemplation, Dong Junxu shook his head secretly, even so, what is the difference, the head of the family, if he really wants to fight, he must not rely on the strength of others, not to mention, he really has no intention of fighting.

"Please forgive Zhongli for being incompetent, I'm afraid that I can't afford to bear this important position, compared with Brother Junxu, whether it is talent or mind, Zhongli is ashamed of himself, Zhongli is convinced, if he leads the family, he will definitely be better than Zhongli, and Zhongli is only the peak of Xuanxiu, Zhongli is ashamed. ”

As the words fell, the atmosphere in the ancestral hall seemed to have changed slightly, Dong Zhuofeng couldn't say anything on his face, and Dong Zhongli, who didn't know when he was released from his imprisonment, buried his head deeply again.

In the ancestral hall, which had been quiet for a long time, a soft sigh sounded, as if disappointed and relieved.

"That's it, since you have a wish, then I won't force it, but the opportunity has been given to you, and he won't regret it in the future. ”

Dong Zhongli kowtowed heavily and said in a deep voice, "Zhongli is the master of the Xie family." ”

"In this case, in the future, you can assist Jun Xu well, don't have another incident, especially the heart of the fight, if there is a reciprocal offense, you will not be spared, and you will kneel here for half a month and leave. ”

Seeing that Dong Zhuofeng was about to float away, Dong Zhongli was obviously a little anxious, and hurriedly shouted, "The head of the family stays!"

Dong Zhuofeng turned around, his eyes fell on the young man, he was disappointed, but he didn't show it, and said lightly, "Do you regret it so soon?"

Dong Zhongli shook his head again and again, "Zhongli doesn't dare, but there is something in his heart, and Zhongli feels a little strange." ”

Hearing it was not what he thought in his heart, Dong Zhuofeng felt a little more comfortable, "What's the matter?"

Dong Zhongli pondered some words and said, "Regarding the assassination of the second aunt, Zhong Li has doubts, with the style of the three elders and the first line, the assassination should not be done by them, Zhong Li guessed, or there are unscrupulous people in the dark center who intend to blame, intending to cause internal strife in my Dong family, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman, and hope that the head of the family and the elders of the clan will be aware of it." ”

Dong Zhuofeng nodded, the corners of his mouth lifted an arc, and he chuckled, "You can detect this, it's very good, you have lived up to the cultivation of the clan." ”

As soon as he said this, Dong Zhongli understood, how could the elders of the clan not know what he could perceive, but he was smart, 'Zhongli is presumptuous. ’

Dong Zhuofeng smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said gently, "There is a calculation in the clan, you can reflect on it here, you don't need to delve into it, and you don't need to express it, you need to think about what you should consider, other things, the elders of your own clan should worry, and doing what you should do is the best comfort for us, do you understand?"

Dong Zhongli buried his head on the ground to show respect.

'You can teach. ’

'Greetings to the head of the family!'
