Chapter 3 If you want to gamble, you will gamble big
In the past, Zi Teng would never easily give up the identity of the heir of the family, but since he opened the memory of his previous life, the change in his state of mind has made him have no interest in this, but for the sake of his father's status in the family, the identity of this heir still has to be contested.
Zi Yanfei didn't know what to say next, when he suddenly saw his son stand up, he couldn't help but be happy, and regardless of whether the two elders agreed or not, he said directly: "Teng'er, if you have anything to say, the two elders understand the righteousness, how can they not give the juniors a chance to speak." ”
The Great Elder and the Second Elder wanted to stop it out loud, but Zi Yanfei's words had already come out, and the two of them swallowed back the words they wanted to stop, so they had to listen to what Zi Teng said first.
"Father, the child has some things to understand, and I would like to ask the two elders for advice to clear up the confusion. ”
Zi Teng said respectfully, but his eyes were looking at the two elders beside his father.
"Zi Teng, there is nothing to say, and it is also our duty as elders to teach the younger generation. ”
Before Zi Yanfei could speak, Great Elder Zi Yanguang said directly, putting on a high-spirited posture as an elder.
"Relying on the old and selling the old, pretending, how come I haven't seen you teach the younger generations before, but my father, who is the head of the family, often gives guidance to the younger generations. ”
Zi Teng laughed secretly in his heart, sneering, but he didn't show it, just bowed slightly: "Then thank the two elders first." ”
"My eldest brother Zilong went out three years ago because of clan affairs, and so far there is no cause of faith, the outside world is rampant, I am afraid that it has been more than auspicious, and my father is heartbroken, so that he has become ill, in the final analysis, it is also because of the family. ”
When Zi Teng said this, no one in the hall was silent, including the two elders who nodded slightly, as if they acquiesced in this matter, so they continued: "First of all, I want to ask the eldest elder, the position of the head of the family has always been inherited by the main hall, and my eldest brother is no longer there, is the identity of the heir of my family head jointly selected by the elders of the family above the clan council? Among them, the two elders have also passed?"
"Well, yes, there is a continuation of the young and the young, Zilong is gone, so you will naturally take over. What Zi Teng said was the truth, and Great Elder Zi Yanguang nodded and said lightly.
"That's right. ”
Zi Teng also nodded, looked around, and continued: "I think the elders and brothers and sisters here know that the Purple Family Ancestor Training, once the heir to the head of the family is chosen, it is easy and cannot be changed, unless the chosen heir dies violently or does something that seriously damages the family. ”
"Second thing, I want to ask the second elder, what I just said is true or not, but it is out of ancestral teaching?"
"Ah, this ......"
After listening to Zi Teng, the second elder Zi Yanming was slightly stunned at first, he didn't expect Zi Teng to carry the ancestral training out and ask himself, so he had to say helplessly: "Naturally, it's right." ”
"Then I didn't die violently, and I didn't damage the family, why should I change the heir?" Zi Teng said in a deep voice, with a hint of questioning.
"Ziteng is bold, are you talking to the elders?"
Second Elder Zi Yanming has always been in a high position, when did he let a junior question like this, he couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, stood up and shouted in a deep voice, and secretly released a momentum and pressed down.
"Zi Yanming, you dare?"
Feeling the momentum of the second elder's release, Zi Yanfei hurriedly shouted, the momentum of a strong person in the late stage of the Earth Soul Realm is not something that a person who has not even fused the demon soul can easily take over, and those who are not in a good mood will definitely suffer a heavy blow to their souls.
What the high-level leaders didn't expect was that the younger generation standing behind them were already a little trembling, but Ziteng was still standing there quietly as if nothing happened.
"Hmph, elders should be respected, and those who are not respected still call themselves elders. ”
Zi Teng was indeed not affected in the slightest, looked at his peers behind him, and said indifferently.
How would they know that although Zi Teng's cultivation has been completely lost, this state of mind is estimated to be unsurpassed in the entire Demon Soul Continent, and Zi Yanming is also afraid of some other juniors, and he does not release much momentum, this momentum is just a threat, scaring people.
"Zi Teng, you are too presumptuous. ”
Great Elder Zi Yanguang said in a deep voice, just now he also felt that the Second Elder was a little impulsive, but Zi Teng's last sentence that was not salty or indifferent made him angry, how could he comment on the elders in public like this.
"Presumptuous?"
Seeing that the Great Elder's face was wrong, Zi Yanfei immediately interjected: "I think my son is not coarse, besides, teach my son that I am the father, and I don't need to work for the two elders." After speaking, he secretly gave Zi Teng a look, which meant to tell Zi Teng to say boldly, don't be afraid, Lao Tzu doesn't support you, who supports you.
Seeing that Zi Yanfei clearly wanted to favor Zi Teng, the two elders couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.
Zi Yanfei didn't want to make too much trouble, so he wanted to give the two elders a step down, and eased up a bit: "The two elders don't have to be too entangled in this trivial matter, let's talk about business, right?"
Seeing that the two elders didn't mean to speak again, they changed their words sharply and said: "Xiao'er's words just now are reasonable, and the words of the ancestors should not be changed lightly, I don't know what the two elders have to say?"
"Hmph, Zu Xun is indeed like this, but it also depends on the specific situation, Ziteng's cultivation has been abolished, how can he lead the family in the future, if it goes on like this, let alone a second-rate family, even if it is a third-rate family or a fourth-rate family, it will not be able to reach it, is it just because of a waste material that the family will be sinking?"
"Let's not talk about this, let's just talk about the qualifying competition in front of us, do you want a waste material to lead the team? Not to mention the laughing stock, I think the status of the second-rate family will not be able to be maintained immediately. Zi Yanguang said angrily.
Hearing the Great Elder's mouthful, Zi Yanfei couldn't help but feel angry, but he didn't know what to say, although the Great Elder's words were unpleasant, but this was indeed a problem at present, so he looked at Zi Teng again in desperation.
"Who said that my cultivation is useless, it is only temporarily lost, and who dares to say that my cultivation has no possibility of recovery?" Seeing that his father was a little embarrassed, Zi Teng said directly.
"Yo he!"
Great Elder Zi Yan was extremely unhappy, and said with a contemptuous expression: "The soul base is broken, and you dare to say that it can be recovered, it's really a joke, okay, even if you can recover your cultivation, I'm afraid it won't work if you don't have ten or twenty years, you have to have a high-grade pill, where are you going to get this kind of pill, don't say we haven't heard of it, even if there is, we can't afford to sell the entire Zi family." ”
"What's more, the qualifying round is less than two months away, can you recover your cultivation before the qualifying round?"
After Zi Yanguang finished speaking, he turned his face to the side, meaning, you can analyze the truth for yourself.
There was silence in the hall for a moment, and most people thought that what the Great Elder said was right, even Zi Yanfei couldn't refute it for a while, and sighed secretly, this qualifying event is very important, and my son is afraid that he really won't be able to participate.
"How does the Elder know that I can't participate in the Qualifying Match?"
Just as a few people were secretly anxious about Zi Teng, Zi Teng said indifferently, waking everyone up from their contemplation.
"What if I said I could resume my cultivation before qualifying?"
Seeing the corners of Zi Teng's mouth curt, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Zi Yue and Zi Yan behind him, and said with a smile: "Even if it can't be restored to the beginning, it won't be worse than the two of them combined." ”
"What?"
Others haven't done anything, but Zi Yue and Zi Yan are angry enough, don't look down on people so much, how can you say that both of you are also a three-star cultivator in the soul condensation period, you are a waste person who actually said that you can be no worse than the two of you combined in two months, doesn't that mean that you can fight one against two, this is too good to blow, I can't help but look at Zi Teng with an angry look.
"Don't talk like this, family affairs, how can it be child's play, if you can't resume cultivation at that time, won't you delay the big thing?"
Great Elder Zi Yanfei said angrily, not believing what Zi Teng said at all.
"Great Elder, don't worry, the kid has the courage to make a bet with you. ”
Zi Teng was still not in a hurry, and said indifferently: "As far as I know, before the qualifying round, the family will conduct a strength test to select the final candidate to participate in the qualifying round, and then I will know that if my strength can surpass the two of them......"
Speaking of this, Zi Teng did not continue, but pointed at Zi Yue and Zi Yan behind him again, and gritted his teeth with hatred.
"Okay, I'll make this bet with you, a junior, if it's really as you said, my family will fully support the family head family in the future. ”
Great Elder Zi Yanguang didn't think about it, he slapped it the arm of the chair, stood up abruptly, paused and said, "But if you can't reach the strength you said......
"Hmph, if you can't, not only will my son no longer have the right to inherit the family, but even my position as the head of the family can be relinquished. ”
Before Zi Teng could speak, Zi Yanfei stood up and said, this time he was really anxious, if he wanted to gamble, he would bet bigger, if he won, he could win the power of the Great Elder's lineage, and if he lost, he would be worthy of his son, in his heart, the position of the head of the family was far less important than his own son.
"Well, a word is a certainty, and those who attend the clan meeting today will witness together. ”
Great Elder Zi Yanguang was ecstatic in his heart, he didn't finish his words just now, he just waited for Zi Yanfei to speak, this bet had to be admitted by Zi Yanfei, but he had a lot of confidence in his heart, and he didn't believe that Zi Teng could recover his cultivation in such a short period of time.
Zi Teng was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect his father to gamble so much in order to support him, but since he had already gambled so much, it was better to bring everyone in, so he looked at the second elder Zi Yanming again.
"Damn, look at what I'm doing, I didn't bet with you. ”
Zi Yanming was thinking about it, but when he saw that everyone's eyes were looking at him, he hesitated for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll have a fun with you, just like the eldest brother." ”
A few people gave the bet contract here in minutes, and the juniors below were stunned, this is too hasty, is that the position of the head of the family, the identity of the heir of the family, a big gamble is given?
But they are just juniors, they don't have any right to speak at all, they can only watch, the gods fight, it's better to hide as far as possible, so as not to hurt the innocent, we are still the flowers and bones of the human race.
............
The clan meeting ended in the flames of war without gunpowder.
"Teng'er, are you sure of what you said today?"
Zi Yanfei took Zi Teng back to his residence, and couldn't help but be a little worried, he had staked all his net worth into it this time, winning would win a family, and losing would be suppressed everywhere.
"Father, I know my own body best, you just have to trust the child. ”
Zi Tengduo didn't say anything, and he couldn't explain things clearly, so he could only make his father's heart beat for a while, and then he might give his father a big surprise.
After a night of cultivation yesterday, Zi Teng had already seen the hope of repairing the soul base, although the progress was very slow, only one-tenth of the repair had been made, but he believed that if there were ten more days, the soul base would be restored to its original state, and the soul base would be even stronger than before.
As for the matter of cultivation, he also has a way to quickly return to the past, but there is some trouble in the middle, as long as he does it properly, his strength may also increase.
This is also the confidence of Ziteng to dare to participate in the clan meeting this time and put forward a gambling contract.
Looking at his son, Zi Yanfei was relieved, who else could he trust if he didn't believe his son? Although his son had been cynical before, he had never let himself down.
However, no matter how Zi Yanfei looked, he felt that this son was not the same as before, he had no fear in confronting the family elders head-on, and he was also able to be righteous and strict, arguing with reason, and the two elders were almost out of words, which was so fucking relieved.
"Tell me, how can you help your father, I don't think you can recover so quickly on your own, right?"
Zi Yanfei's expression was straight, and he asked out loud, he didn't believe that Zi Teng didn't need help.
"Hehe, my father still understands me. ”
Zi Teng laughed treacherously, slapped his ass first, and then said, "I need money, and I need at least 20,000 Demon Soul Coins." ”
"Oh, 20,000 is probably not enough for such a big thing, right?"
Zi Yanfei said, then took out a card, this time even the position of the head of the family was staked out, how can he care about this money, without saying a word, he gave it to Zi Teng: "There are 50,000 demon soul coins here, try to buy what you need, if it is not enough, come to me again." ”
With the money, most of the problem was solved, Ziteng didn't shirk it, he just put it away, and said confidently: "Thank you, father, this time, my father will definitely raise his eyebrows." ”
