Chapter VII Treatment of Young Masters
The sudden change caught everyone off guard.
Several elders looked at each other, and an inexplicable taste was released in each other's gazes.
In Xiao Li's opinion, as long as he bluffs everyone, the effect will be achieved.
In this case, except for the elders who dare to stand up, the general mainstays do not have the courage.
And among the four elders, the second elder and the fourth elder will definitely not object, and after he saves Xun'er, the eldest elder will definitely favor himself, so Xiao Zhen can't do it alone.
Hold the cards in one hand.
Xiao Zhen's father and son did not panic, and looked at the Great Elder calmly.
They knew that as long as the Great Elder was not led to the rhythm, then everything was easy to say.
Similarly, if the Great Elder has a little bias in his heart at this time, then the position of the patriarch is afraid that he will not have anything to do with him!
The Great Elder's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was asleep.
After a while, he stood up tremblingly and said weakly: "Everyone, listen to me. ”
This weak voice suddenly made the hall and the outside silent.
Glancing at everyone lightly, the Great Elder's eyes shone brightly, and he said lightly:
"Tribesmen, it doesn't matter whether the edict is true or not.
Although the old patriarch did not say who will be appointed as the next patriarch, that person must be the one who can lead the Xiao family to a better future! It doesn't matter who holds the power, what matters is whether that person can lead the Xiao family to glory and whether he can avenge the dead old patriarch!"
Jiang was still old and spicy, and the Great Elder said a few words, which instantly eliminated the oppressive atmosphere in the council hall. The crowd was indignant and hurriedly echoed:
"Yes!" "What the Great Elder said is very true!"
With that, the Great Elder looked at Xiao Li.
"Although the old patriarch made an edict, it is an edict after all, and it is difficult to convince the public. I want everyone to choose again, so that it will be easy to convince the public, what do you think?"
Although the Great Elder's tone was light, there was an unquestionable coercion.
Xiao Li's face turned ugly, but after thinking about it, if the elders were to choose again, then he would undoubtedly be the next patriarch.
The Great Elder's move was just to make his position a little more stable.
At this time, he didn't know that the Great Elder already knew the truth.
He was carried away by desire, but he ignored that what the Great Elder said was not to let the elders choose once, but to let everyone choose once.
Thinking of this, his face softened slightly, and he hugged his fist towards the Great Elder and said:
"Everything is at the mercy of the Great Elder. ”
Seeing that everyone's emotions eased, the Great Elder nodded slightly and continued:
"Xiao Li has led the troops all the year round, and in recent years, he has conquered many gangs and made many achievements. Xiao Zhenqi is steady and heavy, and he has assisted the old patriarch to handle internal affairs very beautifully over the years. These two are the best candidates to serve as the patriarch. But there can only be one patriarch, so it is now necessary to come up with a criterion. If you have any opinions, you can speak freely. ”
Everyone nodded slightly, all approving in favor of what the Great Elder said.
However, what should be this criterion?
"How about the two of them have a try? ”
"No, the two of them are on par in strength, and unless they try their best, they can't win or lose. And if you try your best, if you are a little careless, you will lose both, then it will be bad. ”
As soon as a suggestion was made, it was immediately refuted.
"Let them each run a fang market, and see whose performance is good?"
"No, Xiao Li is good at leading troops in battle, and he doesn't have an advantage in managing his family business, which is unfair to him. ”
........
One suggestion after another was thrown out, and in an instant it was rejected by others.
Everyone looked at the two of them, and they couldn't think of a suitable judging standard for a while. At the same time, they also saw the two sons next to the two.
The second elder was thoughtful, and then said, "The old man thinks that we should not only consider the next patriarch, but also the next patriarch.
Whoever is the next patriarch, their son will be the next patriarch. Since it is difficult to evaluate the next patriarch, why not change your thinking and elect the next patriarch?"
Everyone was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it, this proposal was indeed good.
It is the tradition of the Xiao family to inherit the father's position, and both of them have only one son.
The next patriarch is either Xiao Xuan or Xiao Lin.
Since Xiao Zhen and Xiao are equally matched, let's see who is the most suitable for the next patriarch between Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lin.
In the dark eyes, there was an imperceptible banter, and Xiao Xuan knew that everything was going according to his rhythm.
Seeing this, Xiao Xuan hugged his fists towards the elders and said respectfully:
"The patriarch has a capable person, and Xiao Xuan is not interested in the position of the next patriarch.
The elders can choose the most suitable next patriarch by heart. ”
These are the words from his heart.
He was used to staying in the countryside and liked the kind of calm and quiet life.
Just then, a piercing voice came.
"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say. Actually, it's just that you don't have any qualifications to compare with me. If your father is really the patriarch in the future, and he is in power, I am afraid that you will forget these words a long time ago. ”
Xiao Lin sneered.
In his opinion, Xiao Xuan is just hypocritical.
Xiao Zhen and Xiao Li are equally equal.
But Xiao Xuan and Xiao Lin are very different!
Xiao Lin has good qualifications, and now he is the peak of the fourth layer of foundation building, and he also has a first-grade alchemist as a teacher.
And Xiao Xuan, whose cultivation talent is extremely poor, is still staying in the third layer of the foundation, and his body is also poor, everything is bad, and he is a waste.
The two are superior and you can see it at a glance.
"I agree with the second elder, since Xiao Zhen is indistinguishable, let them compare their sons. ”
The four elders, who had been silent, said lightly at this time.
It is clear that it is biased towards Xiao Li.
Everyone was silent, although this suggestion was clearly beneficial to Xiao Li, but it was reasonable, and they couldn't find anything wrong.
"Xiao Xuan's talent has been extremely poor since he was a child, and now he has barely reached the third layer of foundation building, and Xiao Lin is afraid that he is about to break through the fifth layer of foundation building!
Is this even better? It's better to just say that Xiao Li will be the patriarch!
No, absolutely not!"
The third elder took the case and frowned and retorted.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then you say one will work!"
The four elders roared angrily at the three elders.
Everyone could see clearly that two of the four elders supported Xiao Li, the Great Elder seemed to be incompatible, and only one of the four elders favored Xiao Zhen.
From this point of view, the position of the patriarch is none other than Xiao Li.
The three elders were blocked by the two elders, and they were red-faced, but they did not have the slightest intention of giving up.
The Great Elder's eyes narrowed slightly, and he kept thinking in his heart.
It is reasonable for him to agree to Xiao Li becoming the patriarch.
This thing almost caused his granddaughter to lose her life, such a person, who would rest assured that the Xiao clan would be in his hands?
"Third Elder, I respect you as an elder. But don't be so partial to this waste. Waste is waste, his own cultivation talent is poor, who is to blame? Is it because he is a waste, everyone has to let him? Could it be that you still think that this waste is difficult to protect itself, and you can still lead the Xiao family forward in the future?"
Xiao Lin's sharp voice passed through the hall, and even the three elders were quiet at this moment.
There is some truth in what he said.
However, many people are frowning slightly, after all, this mouthful of waste is really ugly.
Xiao Xuan's face was calm, but his heart was extremely cold.
My cousin, after he came back, did what he did and said, it was really chilling.
He was disappointed.
As if a soft place in his heart had been stabbed, Xiao Zhen's face was covered with a layer of cold. He secretly swore that he would protect Xiao Xuan well in this life, and not let him be ridiculed, ignored and condemned at all!
And now, some people keep saying that Xiao Xuan is a waste, how can he bear it!
The terrifying spiritual power in the middle stage of the spirit gathering spread, and Xiao Zhenzhang's spiritual power gathered, looked at Xiao Lin coldly, and said, "You try it again?"
Feeling Xiao Zhen's anger, Xiao Lin's face changed greatly! Only then did he realize that Xiao Xuan's father was still there, and he regretted that he shouldn't be quick to speak for a while. Xiao Zhen in the middle of the spirit gathering is pinching him to death like pinching an ant!
"Hmph, what's the matter, your son still doesn't let people talk about it?"
Seeing this, Xiao Li snorted coldly, and an aura that was not weaker than Xiao Zhen also spread.
You come and go, the sword is fighting, and you are about to fight. A few elders were fine, and the others who had not yet reached the Gathering Spirit Period were almost out of breath under this kind of momentum.
"Enough!"
The Great Elder shouted angrily, and a soft force shot out, gently removing the spiritual power fluctuations of the two of them.
At this time, Xiao Xuan, who had been silent, walked out with a calm face.
Arching his hand towards the Great Elder, the young man said unexpectedly, "If a few elders think that this plan is feasible, then Xiao Xuan might as well take it." ”
Silence, deathly silence!
Xiao Xuan's answer caught everyone by surprise.
With his current situation, what qualifications does he have compared to Xiao Lin?!
"Idiot!"
Some of the clansmen who supported Xiao Zhen scolded in their hearts.
Everyone shook their heads slightly, and even some of the clansmen who supported Xiao Zhen were faintly angry, Xiao Xuan's move was undoubtedly to give up his father's position as the patriarch.
If they don't agree with this method, under the discussion of everyone, maybe they will change to other methods of selecting patriarchs, and now, as soon as Xiao Xuan says this, Xiao Zhen has no hope of turning the tables around!
Ignoring those joking, angry, and complicated eyes, Xiao Xuan turned around, glanced at Xiao Lin deeply, and said:
"I don't know if Cousin Xiaolin, what are you proud of, can you move out and let my cousin take a look. ”
Glancing at Xiao Xuan disdainfully, Xiao Lin said jokingly:
"My master is a first-grade alchemist, is this enough?"
Hearing this, there was a burst of admiration in the hall, and everyone's eyes looking at Xiao Lin were also full of appreciation.
"Yes, Xiao Lin, this kid is really good, and my Xiao family will also have an alchemist in the future. ”
"Yes, Xiao Lin, this kid has a bright future, only such a person can lead the Xiao family forward in the future. ”
.......
Alchemist, Ye Cheng is difficult to see one.
And Xiao Lin is not only talented, but also has such a master, who can also become an alchemist in the future, and the future is unlimited.
"A first-class alchemist. ”
His face twitched slightly, and Xiao Xuan looked at the invincible Xiao Lin with a strange expression.
He was embarrassed to say that there was a Dan Saint in his body.
And Dan Sheng is still his own servant.
Xiao Lin's master is a first-class alchemist, so he pretended to be forced in front of him?
"Grandpa Bian Que, do you have any extra pills on your body, lend me a one. ”
Xiao Xuan said silently in his heart.
"Okay, young master. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan smiled faintly, looked at Xiao Lin playfully, gently rubbed the ring, and said:
"Next, I'm going to show you what the real pill is!"
