Chapter 183 The Feast of the Main Hall
The main pavilion is very grand, and the tables and chairs placed in it look very precious, after all, it is one of the four major schools, and the heritage of countless years is not something that ordinary people living in the material world can imagine.
Everything was arranged so naturally, except for the two parallel seats in front of the hall.
Although Xu Jinglei is said to be the second elder and Xiaomeng's elder, but now Xiaomeng is already the head, even if Xu Jinglei has countless reasons, it is impossible to be on an equal footing with the head, this rule will be paid special attention to even in the villain's family, not to mention this group of old antiques living on Lu Mountain.
Xu Jinglei must have a deep meaning in doing this.
He wants to be on an equal footing with the boss?
I looked around, Xu Xinghe changed his clothes, stood next to Xu Jinglei, felt my gaze, Xu Xinghe gritted his teeth viciously and glared at me, obviously knowing that I had set the fire on his butt just now.
Kui Ye also looked at Xu Jinglei with a solemn face, waiting for Xu Jinglei's reply, but Xu Jinglei stood up enthusiastically as if he hadn't heard Xiaomeng's questioning, and said to us: "Welcome to the head of the family and friends of Maoshan." ”
I sneered, and in the afternoon I said that we were evil creatures, and stabbed me with a sword, and now it was another posture, this Xu thunder, the speed of changing my face was really fast.
Because of the fact that we didn't have a good impression of him, Yang Chun and I ignored him, but Xu Jinglei didn't care about us either, because Yang Chun and I were not the protagonists of this banquet.
Xiao Meng finally sat down, sitting next to Xu Jinglei, while Yang Chun and Kui Ye and I sat closest to Xiao Meng but one level lower.
Xu Xinghe intentionally or unintentionally went around to the middle of Xiaomeng and Xu Jinglei.
Seeing his small action, Kui Ye muttered to himself: "They really couldn't hold back." ”
I whispered, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Derpy's side came with news the day before yesterday that due to the addition of the Great Elder, the Demon Clan was accidentally hit hard, and even Tianori was injured."
"What do you mean by Gurdy, that is, Derpy may be coming back?"
Kui Ye nodded: "That's right, Xu Jinglei, that old fox, finally started to be anxious." ”
Once Derpy comes back from the north, Meng will pass the position of head to Derpy, and when Derpy becomes the head, no one in the entire Lushan will have any opinions, and when Xu Jinglei wants Xu Xinghe to be the head again, it will be even more difficult.
That's why he rushed today, using me and Yang Chun as an excuse to hold this banquet, and wanted to make a last fight at this banquet to take back the position of head from Xiao Meng.
Kui Ye didn't say much, but Yang Chun and I learned a lot from his words.
It's just that I don't understand, how does Xu Jinglei want to grab this position as the leader?
"Everyone!"
Xu Jinglei's voice sounded in the hall, and the people of Lushan, who had been talking a lot, stopped their movements and discussions.
The disciple who poured wine for me in front of me also put away the flask and stood aside without moving.
"Today, we welcomed two special guests to Lushan."
Xu Jinglei stood up from his position and walked in front of me.
I still sat in my seat, silent, but wanted to see what Xu Jinglei wanted to do to me.
"Let's welcome the Han water of Maosan, and ...... Flying corpse Yang Chun. ”
There was a sparse applause in the hall, and there may be people in Lushan who know me, but there are fewer who know Yang Chun, not to mention that Yang Chun is still a zombie, and he is an evil in their eyes.
And me?
A disciple of Maoshan who became a monk halfway, many people don't know who my master Li Tianming is, let alone my identity.
Everyone didn't understand what Yang Chun and I were going to do when we came to Lushan this time, and they didn't know why Xu Jinglei had set up such a big formation to welcome us.
The green tendons on Yang Chun's head bulged, although it was true that he was a zombie, but when he was bluntly said, he could easily feel that the other party had no respect for him at all.
I hurriedly glanced at Yang Chun, and the master also gave Yang Chun an apologetic look, Yang Chun took a deep breath, so he didn't turn his face on the spot.
I stood up and bowed down with a smile at the hall, no matter what Xu Jinglei thought, it had nothing to do with the rest of Lushan, and I wouldn't be stupid enough to cause dissatisfaction with the rest of Lushan because of Xu Jinglei.
Many people in the hall smiled at me in a friendly manner, and some people who didn't know my identity were also whispering.
As soon as I sat down, Yang Chun said in my ear: "This Xu Jinglei is too bullying. ”
I glanced at Xiao Meng, who was sitting in the hall and didn't speak, and nodded: "Indeed." ”
Yang Chun said to Kui Ye again: "If it weren't for Han Shui's face, I would have torn Xu Jinglei in half just now." ”
Kui Ye shook his head: "It's not that simple. ”
What Kui Ye said was that Yang Chun might not be able to beat Xu Jinglei.
The atmosphere on the field suddenly became awkward, and everyone didn't know what to say, but everyone knew that it was time for Xu Jinglei to speak.
Xu Jinglei was quite satisfied with everyone's reaction, strode back to Xiao Meng's side, sat down with a calm expression, and said slowly: "A few months ago, our Lushan head led the three factions to fight against the Northern Demon Clan. ”
"Unfortunately, the demon clan is too cunning, and although the head of the clan returned, it didn't last long before he was gone."
Xiao Meng looked at Xu Jinglei, and there was a faint anger in her eyes.
He's talking about Xiaomeng's father.
Xu Jinglei didn't even look at Xiao Meng, and continued as if no one was around: "Before the head of the family died, Xu Xiaodao was passed on, Xiao Derpy was talented, and he was indeed the best candidate for the next head, but he was blinded by hatred, and refused to take this burden and went to the north for revenge. ”
"How many people in the hall think Derpy can kill Tenori?"
Xu Jinglei asked softly.
No one in the hall dared to answer.
Everyone knows what Xu Jinglei wants to do, and they all acquiesce in his approach.
And as an outsider, I don't know what to say.
Xu Jinglei's eyes swept back and forth in the hall, and after watching it for a minute, he saw that everyone was uncomfortable, and then said: "The position of the head of the house is now in the hands of Xu Xiaomeng, the eldest daughter of the head." ”
Xiaomeng raised her head and looked at the hall.
I raised my eyebrows and looked at Xiaomeng: The main topic has begun.
"As the second elder, I have seen the changes in Lushan in the past three months, and I privately think that Xiaomeng is too young and has not been around for a long time, and he is not capable enough to take the position of the head of the family." After Xu Jinglei finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
There was still silence on the field.
Xiao Meng's face is hard to see.
I took a deep breath, I really couldn't hold back, and said loudly: "Whether Xiao Meng is competent or not is not something that the second elder can determine with just a few words. ”
Xu Jinglei glanced at me: "Little brother Han Shui, you are only a monk halfway, and you have not returned to Maoshan so far." ”
