At this time, in the meeting hall of the Yuan family, there were three figures sitting upright, and the atmosphere was solemn.

The news of Yuan Jing's return has not yet reached here.

On the chair above, sat a middle-aged man, who was burly and full of majesty between his eyebrows, obviously in a high position.

But if you look at his face, you will find that it is somewhat similar to Yuan Shi.

This person is Yuan Shi's eldest brother and the current head of the Yuan family, Yuan Wu.

Yuan Wu's eyes were grim, and he slowly swept over the two figures below, and a deep voice slowly came out of his mouth.

"Second Elder, Fourth Brother, now the Great Elder and Father are in retreat to repair their injuries. ”

"The entire Yuan family can only be supported by us. ”

Yuan Wu's deep voice echoed slowly in the hall.

On the right below Yuan Wu is a sixty-year-old man, at this time his eyes are slightly closed, his breath is calm, and his breath around his body is constricted, like a dying old man.

He is the second elder of the Yuan family, Yuan Lingshan.

After listening to Yuan Wu's words, Yuan Lingshan's eyelids moved, but then he didn't react and still maintained his original appearance.

"Alas......"

On the contrary, the middle-aged man on the left suddenly sighed and sighed: "It would be nice if the second brother's cultivation was still there, so that we would have more strength." ”

The person who spoke was Yuan Zhi, who was in charge of the Yuan family's shop outside, and was also Yuan Yi's father.

And the second brother in his mouth is naturally Yuan Shi.

Hearing this, Yuan Wu's face suddenly changed, he looked at Yuan Zhi with a stern gaze, and said slightly angrily: "Fourth brother, don't forget who caused our dignified Yuan family to fall into the current situation." ”

"Because of him, my father and the Great Elder, are still recovering from their injuries in the secret room. ”

Yuan Wu looked at Yuan Zhi, and his eyes revealed a strong sense of warning: "Fourth brother, don't mention him in front of me in the future!"

He has always had a grudge against Yuan Shi's father and son, and at this time, Yuan Zhi suddenly mentioned Yuan Shi on this occasion, which made him unhappy.

Yuan Zhi looked stunned, and then quickly closed his mouth, he also felt it just now, so he also forgot the current relationship between Yuan Wu and Yuan Shi.

For the eldest brother Yuanwu, he is also a little afraid in his heart.

In the Yuan family, not only the younger generation has grievances, but even among the elders, there are also grievances.

Take Yuan Wu and Yuan Shi as examples, although the two are good brothers, but since the incident happened five years ago, Yuan Wu has always had a grudge against Yuan Shi, and in the past five years, there has never been a sign of easing.

Seeing this, Yuan Wu's expression was also relieved, his grim gaze still existed, and he said slowly: "The main purpose of our meeting today is to compare the Yuan family after the coming-of-age ceremony. ”

"The five children of the Yuan family selected from the clan are very important for the future development of the Yuan family. ”

Yuan Wu's eyes slowly swept over Yuan Zhi and the second elder, his expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "I believe that both of you should know this.

Hearing this, the second elder's eyelids moved, and he suddenly opened his eyes at this time, and his hoarse voice also sounded slowly.

"The old man naturally understands the importance of ethnic comparison. ”

The second elder's face was dark, and his eyes were bright, but if you looked at his right eye, it was white, without the color of a normal person's eyes, obviously, he had lost an eye.

"Understood. ”

On the other side, Yuan Zhi also opened his mouth and said, although he has been taking care of the shop outside all the year round, he is still very clear about the importance of the clan in Yuan Wu's mouth to the Yuan family.

Because the five children of the Yuan family selected from the clan competition will represent the Yuan family in the "Three Clans Competition", and compete with the other two major forces in Iwacheng for four places to enter the "Lanyue Academy".

The so-called Lanyue Academy is one of the few great colleges in the Moro Domain, with a history of hundreds of years, and its strength is extremely good.

And this Lanyue College will enroll students once every two years, but the enrollment conditions are also relatively special, and the enrollment quota is based on the comprehensive strength of major towns.

This year's Iwajo won four places.

Therefore, the three major forces in Iwacheng are all eyeing these four places,-for-tat, after all, there are countless children among the three major forces, and the enrollment quota is only four.

This is undoubtedly a situation where there are more wolves and less meat, so in order to compete for these four places, the three major forces will select the five strongest children among their own children to compete.

Among them, the top four who win will be able to enter the Lanyue Academy, which countless people dream of for cultivation.

"It's good that you two understand. ”

In the hall, Yuan Wu's palm slowly rubbed against the armrest of the chair, and his face was contemplative.

After pondering for a moment, Yuan Wu suddenly said: "This clan is more than the link of selecting places, I think there is no need for one person." ”

"What did the eldest brother say?"

Yuan Zhi looked at Yuan Wu, and was puzzled, the so-called no rules are not a circle, the Yuan family has always attached great importance to rules, not to mention that Yuan Wu is still the head of the family.

This kind of exception is still very rare among the Yuan family.

"Yuan Luofeng. ”

At this moment, the second elder suddenly spoke, and in the only remaining eye, a light appeared.

"Not bad. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Wu nodded, took a sip of the tea on the table, and said slowly: "Feng'er is the current Tianjiao of our Yuan family, and she has stepped into the late stage of the Tianyuan Realm at a young age. ”

"This kind of cultivation, I think there is no one in the younger generation of the Yuan family who can compete, so he will be exempted from this clan comparison. ”

There was a little pride on Yuan Wu's face, Yuan Luofeng's current achievements were not much better than Yuan Jing back then.

The most important thing is that Yuan Luofeng is his son!

"It's... I'm afraid something is wrong. ”

Hearing Yuan Wu's words, Yuan Zhi's expression was a little hesitant, although Yuan Luofeng's qualifications were top-notch, and his cultivation was also in the first position among the younger generation of the Yuan family, but this was not enough to break the rules of the Yuan family.

Hearing Yuan Zhi's words, the pride on Yuan Wu's face suddenly disappeared, looking at Yuan Zhi, his brows furrowed slightly, and said, "Fourth brother, what's wrong with this?"

Facing Yuan Wu's gaze, although Yuan Zhi's heart was a little flustered, he still said slowly: "Although Xiao Feng is the current Tianjiao of the Yuan family, his cultivation is at the top, I agree with this,"

"But there are no rules in a family, I believe the eldest brother understands this truth, right?"

Yuan Zhi looked at Yuan Wu, although he was a little flustered in his heart, his expression was quite calm, and his opinions were also selfish.

And this selfishness is because of his son Yuan Yi.

If Yuan Luofeng is allowed to set a place, then there will only be four places left to participate in the three-clan competition, and his son Yuan Yi will have a lot less hope if he wants to win a place.

After all, he knew very well that Yuan Yi's cultivation was not very high in the Yuan family, and it was still difficult to win a place.

And at this time, one more place is equivalent to one more hope, and Yuan Zhi doesn't want Yuan Yi to follow his back path in the future and manage the shop.

Hearing this, Yuan Wu's face was slightly unhappy, and he slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said, "The rules are important, but they are not impossible to make exceptions. ”

"With Feng'er's current qualifications, what if it is an exception?" Yuan Wu looked at Yuan Zhi with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

Yuan Zhi's words just now were tantamount to denying his thoughts, and as the head of the family, he would inevitably feel a little unbearable on his face.

And he thinks that with Yuan Luofeng's current achievements, it is enough to make an exception to win this place.

The second elder sat on the side, his expression unmoved, he had always liked to be quiet, but he was not too interested in the topics that the two of them discussed.

"This ......"

Yuan Zhi looked embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, Yuan Wu is now the head of the Yuan family after all, and everything has been said about this, if he is refutating, it is a little inappropriate.

But if he just gave up this place to Yuan Luofeng, then he would also be unwilling.

In the hall, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Yuan Wu looked at Yuan Zhi with a questioning look on his face, while Yuan Zhi sat down with a hesitant look on his face.

Box box box box!

At this moment, a knock suddenly sounded at the entrance of the hall, breaking the quiet atmosphere of the scene.

Yuan Wu's brows furrowed, and he took the lead in removing his gaze, and his expression suddenly changed.

The second elder and Yuan Zhi also looked at each other, and their faces also changed slightly, and their expressions were different.

I saw a majestic figure standing at the door, with a haggard face, a pair of bloodshot eyes, and a tired breath all over his body.

Seeing the person coming, Yuan Zhi's expression was puzzled with a little surprise, and he wondered: "Second brother?"

This person is Yuan Shi.

There is also a reason why Yuan Zhi showed a look of surprise, because since the incident happened five years ago, Yuan Shi has been wandering around, never asking about any trivial matters of the Yuan family, let alone stepping into the Yuan family's meeting hall.

Yuan Zhi couldn't understand, why did Yuan Shi suddenly come to this meeting hall at this time?

Yuan Zhi's inner doubts, Yuan Shi didn't know, he slowly walked to the center of the hall, looked at Yuan Wu with bloodshot eyes, and was silent.

Yuan Wu's face was gloomy, he looked at Yuan Shi below, and said unhappily: "This is the important place for the Yuan family, what are you doing?"

His words obviously did not regard Yuan Shi as the second master of the Yuan family, and it can be said that he was ruthless.

But think about it, among the Yuan family, except for the subordinates who will politely call Yuan Shi the second master, most of the rest do not take Yuan Shi's father and son in their eyes.

Especially Yuan Wu was originally prejudiced against Yuan Shi, so it was not strange to say this.

However, under the different gazes of the three people, Yuan Shi slowly clenched his palms, and suddenly knelt down on his knees, and the voice of a slight trembling voice also sounded in the hall.

"Yuan Shi, beg the head of the family to help find my son Yuan Jing!"
