Situ Liangchen is ninety-seven years old, but his face is full of red light, and his whole person looks very energetic, tough and strong, not much worse than ordinary men in their fifties and sixties.

However, recently, Situ Liangchen has always had a deep sadness between his eyebrows, obviously worrying about a very important matter.

At this moment, he was kneeling in the ancestral hall of the Situ family, bowing to his ancestors with a reverent face.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, Situ Liangchen didn't need to look back, just by the footsteps, he could hear that his youngest son was coming.

He sighed and stood up.

Situ Zhongyong's voice immediately came from outside the door: "Father." ”

"Come in." Situ Liangchen said.

Situ Zhongyong came to the ancestral hall, kowtowed to the dense tablets in the mourning hall with a respectful expression, and his movements were meticulous, and only after doing all this did he stand up and look at his father.

"Father, the girl is back, and Chen Xuanshuang is also here." Situ Zhongyong said.

Situ Liangchen nodded and sighed, "It seems that your second brother can't make him back down." ”

Situ Zhongyong's expression changed and said, "Father, do you really want to make such a decision?" ”

Situ Liangchen looked pained, pointed to the dense spirit card, and asked: "One wrong step, one wrong step, for the father, I naturally want every son and grandson of the Situ family to be happy, so that they can live with dignity and dignity, but for the sake of the father, he needs to think about the overall situation." ”

Situ Zhongyong originally had some resentment in his father's heart, but seeing his father's expression at this moment, he couldn't help but look gloomy, and finally understood his father's dilemma.

As the head of the family, what needs to be borne on his shoulders is the overall glory and disgrace and rise and fall of a huge family.

Even one wrong step will push the family that has been inherited for hundreds of years into the abyss from which it will never recover.

"Our Situ family has been heirloom for more than 600 years, although it is not as famous as the Xuanyuan and Long families in recent years, but it has also maintained no decay. As a hermit family, we have always done a good job and have not missed a single step. Situ Liangchen said slowly.

Situ Zhongyong recalled the history of the family and nodded silently, with the pride of being a child of the family on his face.

"But above the family, there is also the upper realm." Situ Liangchen's tone was a little heavier.

Situ Zhongyong also felt pressure.

As a child of a family, they are naturally superior, but when they learn that there is a sky above their heads, the difference in status and identity will be difficult for them to accept.

From a high-ranking person to an ant in the eyes of others, this feeling is really too sour.

"The upper realm is to us what we are to the secular world, and this is a huge hierarchical chasm that cannot be crossed through the ages." There was a deep sense of powerlessness in Situ Liangchen's tone.

Situ Zhongyong felt the same way, so he was even more resentful, and said: "Each world has its own rules, everyone was originally irrelevant to each other, and they lived their own lives, but now that the upper realm has entered the WTO, it is really ignoring the rules of hierarchy and bullying people." ”

Situ Liangchen showed a bitter look on his face and said: "Since ancient times, there have been many unruly people who have run rampant, and generally speaking, the upper realm is quite good. The children of our hidden sects and families are more troublesome in the secular world. ”

Situ Zhongyong nodded silently.

This is the law of the world.

The weak will never have real security, let alone real fairness and justice.

However, Situ Zhongyong still threw away these distracting thoughts and mentioned Chen Xiaodao's words to Situ Liangchen.

Situ Liangchen's face became even heavier, and he smiled bitterly: "Good boy, this is my army." ”

Situ Zhongyong didn't talk much anymore, if it was before, he would have persuaded his father not to go back on his word, but now, this is a matter related to the fate of the entire family, this kind of decision, he can't do it, and even his father doesn't dare to jump to conclusions easily.

"Or, our family will surrender to the upper realm, and over time, the upper realm will enter the world, leading us families to dominate the world and get a piece of the pie. Or, our family is fighting against the upper realm. ”

Situ Liangchen said, looked at Situ Zhongyong and said, "If it's you, how do you choose?" ”

"What is competing with the upper realm is secular interest groups and major powers." Situ Zhongyong said.

Situ Liangchen snorted coldly: "If this is not the case, why should the old man be embarrassed, he can make a choice without thinking about it at all." ”

Situ Zhongyong nodded, knowing that what his father said was right.

If Chen Xiaodao did not represent the country behind him, in such a situation, the Situ family really did not need to think about it, and would resolutely stand on the side of the upper realm.

"But now, they're all here, and we have to make a choice." Situ Zhongyong said helplessly.

Situ Liangchen sighed and said, "At this time, your second brother should take Yun Shaoqing to see Chen Xuanshuang." ”

Situ Zhongyong was stunned when he heard this, suddenly came to his senses, looked at his father in horror and said, "This is your old choice?" ”

"It's the best option." Situ Liangchen sighed.

"But no matter what the outcome is, our family won't get any benefits." Situ Zhongyong said.

"It's better than taking one wrong step and putting the whole family in a situation from which they will never recover." Situ Liangchen said with a resolute face.

Situ Zhongyong glanced at his father deeply, and in the end, he could only turn all the emotions in his heart into a sigh.

Under such a wave of the times, the vast majority of people can only helplessly face the unknown fate.

……

In a single-family house of the Situ family, a young man who looks to be in his thirties sits cross-legged with his long and neatly combed hair in Hanfu, making people feel as if they have traveled back to ancient times for hundreds of years.

This person's name is Yun Shaoqing, and he is the male protagonist from the upper realm who proposes marriage to the Situ family.

The power elements in this house were surging very actively, and a large number of power elements swirled around Yun Shaoqing, and finally they were slowly incorporated into his body.

Although it was not the first time Situ Zhongzhong had seen this kind of scene, every time he saw it, he would be shocked, and he would respect these powerful people from the upper realm even more in his heart.

This kind of cultivation method is simply plundering and devouring the spiritual energy power between heaven and earth, under such cultivation techniques, it is no wonder that these guys can have such cultivation attainments at a young age.

Yun Shaoqing opened his eyes and saw Situ Zhongzhong's envious face, and he was secretly proud in his heart, suddenly, his gaze froze, fell on Situ Zhongzhong's cheeks, and frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

Situ Zhongzhong had been frightened by Chen Xiaodao before, but now when he saw Yun Shaoqing's cultivation method, he rose up with strong confidence again, and said with resentment: "Young Master Yun, you have to make decisions for me and avenge me." ”

Yun Shaoqing didn't like people like Situ Zhongzhong very much, but he enjoyed the feeling of being worshiped as an emperor, this feeling, he was not qualified to enjoy it in the upper realm.

"What the hell is going on, you tell me to hear it." Yun Shaoqing said lightly.

Situ Zhongzhong immediately added fuel to what happened before, and then said: "Young Master Yun, I'm worried that my father is old and confused and scared by that kid, so you hurry up and go out and take a look, I can guarantee that as long as you kill that kid with your own hands, my father will definitely not have two hearts."

Moreover, to tell you the truth, my subordinates believe that if the upper realm wants to enter the WTO, and if you want me and other family sects to sincerely surrender, you must show your truly powerful strength and means. ”

Yun Shaoqing nodded when he heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he stood up from the garden: "Yes, if you don't show a little strength, you can't make the people of the world surrender."

I have heard of this Chen Xuanshuang's name in the upper realm, hmph, in your eyes he is a genius like a demon, but to my Yun Shaoqing, he is just an ant-like existence.

Lead the way, today I, Yun Shaoqing, will destroy the myth in the eyes of your family. ”

Situ Zhongzhong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly respectfully invited: "Yun Shao, please come with me." ”
