In the middle of the night, there were three people gathered in the guest room of Liu Bai. Facing the two brothers Zhang Hai and Zhang Shui in front of him, Liu Bai was still as expressionless as before, Zhang Hai looked at Liu Bai like this, and only felt strange, a little far from the cheerful Liu Bai brother in his impression.

Zhang Hai has been in the Indomitable Valley for so long, and it is the first time he has encountered Liu Bai, although the two have known that the other party is in the Indomitable Valley for a long time, but they have never had the opportunity to meet it.

"It's been a long time, Zhang Hai. I didn't expect to meet again here, to be honest, you brothers can reconcile, I'm very happy for you. He said that he was happy, but there was no trace of a smile on Liu Bai's face.

The two brothers turned their faces away with some embarrassment, and Zhang Hai replied after coughing a few times: "It's not a reconciliation, I'm just willing to believe my son once." ”

"I've already explained the facts, and it's his business to believe it or not. Zhang Shui also responded to Liu Bai.

Liu Bai looked at the two brothers in front of him with a cold face, the temperament of these two people is really a copy of their mother's life, but Liu Bai didn't bother to say that the two of them were brothers, after all, they were used to it when they were children.

"Anyway, what are you two doing here at such a late hour?" The two brothers came to visit late at night, Liu Bai knew that it was impossible to just catch up, and Liu Bai thought that with the current gap between the two, it was not good enough to come over to catch up with him together.

Since Liu Bai asked directly, the two brothers thought that there was no need to continue to beat around the bush, so they got straight to the point: "We don't think we can let the Indomitable Valley dominate, in order to make Zhang Shijealous agree to part of our plan, we plan to open a bargaining chip." ”

"What chips?"

"The position of the Holy Daoist. Zhang Shui got straight to the point.

"Are you going to give up the Zhang family's position in the Holy Dao Division to the Indomitable Valley?" Liu Bai couldn't see through the thoughts of the two, "It seems a little cost-effective." ”

"They didn't really give up, they didn't really want to help us, did they? We're just going to tilt the plan a little bit in our favor, and as for that bargaining chip, we're going to open it, but we don't have to keep it. ”

After hearing Zhang Shui's proposal, Liu Bai shook his head helplessly: "The Zhang family, as one of the top five, made a promise that is easily renegated, I am afraid that the reputation will be damaged in the future, and the constraints brought by being high will be high." ”

Zhang Shui seemed to have guessed that Liu Bai would answer him like this, and after smiling evilly, he replied: "No, the reputation of the Zhang family as the top five family will not be damaged because of this, because it is not the Zhang family who opened the chips, but me." ”

Not only Liu Bai, but even Zhang Hai on the side was surprised by what Zhang Shui said: "Ah Shui, what do you mean? This is different from what Haotian said." We're not going to let you pay that price in the afternoon. ”

Zhang Shui seemed to have guessed that his eldest brother would have this reaction, so he didn't answer him anything, and turned his face to the side.

"Haotian?" After hearing Zhang Hai's words, Liu Bai probably estimated who the person who put forward these opinions was, "You just agreed with a child's idea?"

Obviously, Liu Bai didn't think much of Zhang Haotian's thoughts, after all, Zhang Haotian was still young, and Zhang Haotian himself knew that the only adults who could accept his ideas could be his father and teacher.

But Zhang Shui doesn't think so: "You may think that he is just a little kid under the age of thirteen, but in my opinion, he is my student and a disciple of Qingcheng Sect, and his heart is deeper than when I first came into contact with him, to be honest, I can't see through him, I don't know which is the real him." I don't think his father knew about it. ”

Zhang Shui's words made Zhang Hai hang his head and be embarrassed. If he really knew this son, he wouldn't let him leave him again and again.

"I won't talk about this, Ah Shui, you never said that you should be the outcast, didn't you say that you would let other people with the surname ......"

Zhang Shui raised his hand and interrupted Zhang Hai's words: "I can't let anyone else come, although I agree with Zhang Haotian's plan, but his plan is still lacking, he is still reluctant to use the most suitable abandoned son, because of the two most suitable abandoned sons, one is his father and the other is his teacher." But I'm not like him, I can treat myself as an outcast, I'm not like you, I have nothing to lose. ”

And there is no attachment in the Zhang family, Zhang Shui did not say this sentence.

"But in this way, Haotian ......" Zhang Hai looked very embarrassed.

"It must be like this, I am the most convincing outcast, in order to ensure that Zhang Shiwei is willing to believe that our bargaining chip is real. ”

Although Zhang Hai was very reluctant to accept it, Zhang Shui was completely right.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Liu Bai asked, probably knowing what the two of them were going to do, but still didn't know what they wanted him to do.

"We need a more authoritative person to deny me, someone who holds the power alone in the Zhang family. ”

Liu Bai can be regarded as understanding the reason why Brother Zhang Shui came over this time: "Do you want me to be the head of the Zhang family after killing the blood demon?"

Zhang Shui nodded his head definitively.

Knowing that he couldn't stop Zhang Shui, Zhang Hai leaned to the side angrily, waiting for Liu Bai's response.

"If you want to be an outcast yourself, I can't stop you. But why do you think I'm qualified to be the head of the house?" Liu Bai asked rhetorically.

"Then who else is the same generation as Brother Liu Bai who can have this ability?" Zhang Shui asked rhetorically, "If Brother Liu Bai hadn't been removed, wouldn't he be the most powerful candidate to compete for the head of the family at this moment?"

"What about you? You were known as the most gifted genius in the entire family. Liu Bai looked at Zhang Shui's eyes very sharp, what he said was the fact that Zhang Shui's talent was above him, and the genius of the Zhang family was even higher than Zhang Lingmeng, who was valued by the Zhang family now.

"Talent has never been the primary quality of being the head of the family, no matter how high that talent is, it no longer exists in me now. What's more, my current identity does not allow me to be the head of the Zhang family, as the elder of the instrument system, if I am still the head of the upper five families, then who will contain the instrument system?" Zhang Shui knew that he no longer had the slightest qualification to be the head of the family.

After Zhang Shui's words, Liu Bai turned his gaze to Zhang Hai on the side, Zhang Hai shook his head and refused, he knew that he was indecisive in the affairs of the clan, and he would not be the material for the head of the family at all.

"It seems that this head of the family, you have forced me to be determined. Liu Bai sighed.

The two brothers Zhang Shui and Zhang Hai did not deny it, they came tonight with the attitude of forcing Liu Bai to nod.

"If that's what you think, then I'm not going to live up to your expectations. But since you want me to be the head of the family, then you have to accept the Zhang family under my management. Liu Bai's words were put aside, and Zhang Shui could see how long the incident when Liu Bai removed his surname had cast a shadow on him, and he really planned to completely change the Zhang family.

......

On the morning of the second day, it was time for Zhang Shui and Zhang Hai to meet with the Invincible Valley Clan's Assertion of the World Jealousy, and to open their bargaining chips to change their plan to defeat the Blood Demon.

At this meeting, there were only a few people, and none of the elders of the Zhang family in the Unyielding Valley were present. Originally, Zhang Shui was still puzzled, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Shui understood that Zhang Shijealous was an old slippery head, and he didn't want to be known by other elders about this chip transaction.

"Why don't you see the elders sitting on the deliberations today?" Zhang Shui asked knowingly, just to see Zhang Shi's reaction.

"The elder has other important matters today, and I think there is no problem in discussing today's matters by myself. Later, I will inform the elders of the congregation. Zhang Shijealous responded with the words he had prepared, but it was not unexpected by Zhang Shui.

"That junior won't be procrastinating, my lord, our two brothers asked to come today, hoping to give some opinions on the plan to defeat the blood demon, and I implore the family master to agree. ”

"Opinion, what opinion? I would like to hear it. ”

"When the blood demon replaces the shell, I hope that the people on our side can take action. ”

"Aren't we on one side?" Zhang Shi asked with a jealous smile, saying this kind of thing, he obviously didn't mean to agree to Zhang Shui.

"Of course, it's on one side, but I always think that it's better for us to remove the surname to act, because we have walked through the blood refining path, and we are more familiar with the blood refining path than the comrades in the Unyielding Valley, and we are more confident in acting. Moreover, if the head of the family can agree with us, the reward will be very rich. ”

"Oh, return?" Zhang Shijealousy was a little interested in Zhang Shui, wanting to hear what Zhang Shui could give him in return.

"It is not uncommon for us to remove people with surnames, and the Zhang family's holy dao division is in the position of the five families. ”

Zhang Shijealousy can be regarded as hearing the meaning of Zhang Shui's words, daring to love this guy wants to give up the position of the head of the upper five families, just to be able to personally act in the Blood Refining Dao, but what is the purpose of the personal shot, Zhang Shijealous can only guess now.

"This reward seems to be a little more valuable, and it seems to be a little too valuable compared to your request. ”

"No, for us, the position of the head of the family is not as good as the life of my brother and daughter, my niece, but rather that I have never mentioned this matter to other people who have no surname, this is my personal agreement with the head of the family. I am the initiator of the removal of the surname, and when this happens, many of them will hope that I will be able to take over the position of head of the family, and then I will be able to give up the position of head of the family to my seniors. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful. But doesn't your eldest brother have the qualifications to be the head of the family?" Zhang Shixian asked rhetorically, it was not a simple matter for him to let down his guard.

"The younger generation didn't dare, but they just wanted their children to be safe. Zhang Hai also showed that he did not have the heart to be the master of the house.

"Oh, I didn't expect that Zhang Hai is also a loving father, I remember that your son is also here with us now, right, it can be seen that children have a lot of weight in your mind, after your son came to me, the contradiction between you and Zhang Shui has disappeared a lot, I can see it. ”

Zhang Shijealousy looked at people and things very trickily, Zhang Shui and Zhang Hai looked at each other, and felt a little tricky to persuade Zhang Shijealousy. It is true that their chips are very heavy-handed, but at the same time, it is too difficult for people not to be suspicious, even if Zhang Shijealous agrees, he will presumably guard against them. Perhaps only their dark chess pieces can be recovered.

"I don't know what the head of the family thinks. Zhang Shui asked tentatively.

Zhang Shijealous closed his eyes, as if he was thinking deeply, and when he opened his eyes again, he gave his answer: "Looking at the return you have prepared, you can also see your sincerity, since this is the case, I will promise you." The actions of the Blood Refining Dao will be left to you to take full responsibility. ”

Zhang Shui and Zhang Hai know very well that Zhang Shijealous, the old slippery head, is just a verbal promise, judging from his attitude and many picks just now, he is by no means sincere, he will definitely guard against them everywhere, until he finally really gets what he wants.
