"That's going to be asked of him. ”

Gu Peiyan squinted at Ye Feng.

Although he was not very willing, Ye Feng still reluctantly explained.

"The ancestor of my Ye family once had a life-saving grace for Huangliang Zhenjun. In order to repay his kindness, he once swore that he was willing to support the descendants of the Ye family in this life, and would never take the initiative to hurt a single hair of the Ye family. ”

"That's not to say, Gu Peiyan is now a member of the Ye family. ”

Zhou Yang felt that this reason was nonsense, who was not a human spirit who cultivated immortals to this realm? How could he be restrained because of a casual promise.

But the next explanation made him pause.

Of course, Huangliang Zhenjun didn't want to keep his promise, but he had to. Because Huangliang Zhenjun's own cultivation method is mainly illusion, he pays the most attention to sticking to his original heart. If you don't keep your promises, you'll get a backlash, and if you use any trick, you'll be infested with demons. ”

"Oh, I see. ”

Zhou Yang nodded, looking at Gu Peiyan with admiration.

He finally knew now why Gu Peiya chose to take the position of the head of the Ye family with an iron fist. After doing it for a long time, it turned out that there was still such an inside story. This promise made by Huangliang Zhenjun to the Ye family is simply a tight spell, and in Gu Peiyan's hands, it is the best weapon to break through the obstacles.

In fact, in all fairness, intellectually speaking, Zhou Yang admires Gu Peiya. She was too shrewd to make people feel deeply uncomfortable. But in the final analysis, what she wants is also very simple, but she doesn't succumb to fate and wants to fulfill her dream of cultivating immortals.

Without threatening her own interests, Zhou Yang even wanted to give a big praise to a strong woman like her.

In this process, the relatives of the Duan family on the other side finally reached an agreement, and then separated again with ugly faces.

It is clear from their expressions that the final outcome of the discussion was not satisfactory.

Each family has its own ambitions, and they all can't wait to be the head of the Duan family. But in the end, it seems that everyone has at least a little bit of inadequacy, and it is difficult to convince the public. In the end, no specific candidate was discussed.

In the end, each family had to take a step back, and at least they had the same opinion on one thing, that is, they couldn't let Duan Yiyi take advantage of the fisherman no matter what.

Fortunately, Duan Yiyi is just alone, even if there are a few relatives in the family who have a good relationship, there will not be too many, and it is impossible to fight any of them based on the number of votes alone.

In the end, these collateral relatives of the Duan clan all agreed, and everyone voted for the people they supported, and each competed for the position of head of the family according to their ability.

There are many side branches, some of which are large and fight alone, and there are also a few smaller ones that are grouped. In the end, on average, the number of votes was about the same, and it was hard to say who would have the advantage.

This result was also unexpected by Duan Yiyi, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhou Yang, and found that he had a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had been prepared for all this to happen.

Judging from the strength of their opposition to Duan Yiyi before, they could never have imagined that there was such a big contradiction between them.

But Zhou Yang guessed that eight or nine were not far from ten. In such cases, they have different intentions and are selfish, and if the external pressure is too tight, it can hide the contradictions between them and make them twist into a rope.

Once the external pressure disappears, they don't need to be provoked by others, and they themselves can fight for a little bit of petty profit. This trick is to retreat into advance, and it really worked.

But even so, in the eyes of most people, Duan Yiyi is still the least favored one.

Even if people fight for themselves, the number of votes of any family will be pulled out, and they will all be blown up, and the benefits will not fall on you in the end anyway.

In the end, the parties discussed and decided, and under Yan Baichuan's "authoritative certification", the number of the Duan family was determined.

After taking stock, the Duan family really spread out, and the scale was not small. There are dozens of relatives in any small branch, and the largest number of large branches even reaches hundreds.

From the seniors who are already old to the babies who can't speak, they are all counted, and then they are given spiritual runes according to the number of heads, and voting begins.

This is really a big show, and even other unrelated outsiders are aroused by their curiosity, and they eat melons and watch with the banter mentality of watching a good show.

Seeing that everyone had expressed the candidates in their minds, and the only representative of the side group who did not participate in the competition and did not even have a discussion, Duan Minggui finally opened his eyes and walked over slowly.

Everyone's hearts were slightly cold.

Duan Minggui's status in the Duan family is relatively special, after the old man passed away, he was the number one master of the Duan family, although his cultivation was worse than Yan Baichuan, there was no problem with self-preservation.

His existence is also the confidence of the Duan family to continue to be among the three major land snakes in Chujiang City.

Duan Minggui's root bone qualifications are certainly good, and his cultivation is extremely high at a young age. But his personality is a little different, he is usually indifferent to fame and fortune, he looks like a migrant worker, and he has no ambition and desire for power. is only willing to stand out for the affairs of the Duan family, and has no sense of existence at other times.

Seeing that he was unwilling to compete for the position of head of the family, everyone else sighed. Duan Minggui's bloodline relationship is relatively far away from his lineage, but he can't stand the high cultivation of others, he is willing to give up, even if he goes to a strong enemy.

In the blink of an eye, Duan Minggui also represented his own branch, completed the vote, and gathered all the spirit runes together.

When it came to the end, Duan Yiyi also began to feel a little weak, and she didn't seem to see any hope of winning, so she looked back at Zhou Yang.

But Zhou Yang whispered a few words to her, and then encouraged.

Duan Yiyi was cramped at first, and then simply turned his heart sideways and strode over.

"I am also a member of the Duan family, and I should have the right to vote!"

"This ......"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Duan Yiyi, with disdain and ridicule. They all think that she is dying and struggling, and she is just making a fool of herself.

"Forget it, just give someone a vote. Otherwise, he claimed to be the head of the Duan family personally appointed by the old man, and he didn't get the last vote, how embarrassing it would be. ”

"That is, if you vote for yourself, it won't be too ugly on your face. In the future, people will have to mix in this area. ”

The Duan family's side relatives were all sneering beside them.

Duan Yiyi's face was slightly red. She has always lived the life of an eldest lady, and when she encountered things before, she was crushed by an absolute advantage, and she didn't care about competing for this corner at all in terms of personality, which was too embarrassing.

But today she was really cornered, and she was indeed ready to vote for herself shamelessly.

At this moment, Duan Yiyi finally understood that in the life of the poor at the bottom, the kind of mosquito meat is also meat, and he does not let go of any embarrassing mentality of petty profits.
