readx;? Xu Ling'er immediately raised her head, snorted, and said, "You are discussing my affairs, why can't I participate? Besides, according to the family's regulations, I am now also qualified to participate in the discussion and decision-making of the family's major affairs." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info [this site has a new website,Shorthand method:,.]"

Xu Zimu couldn't help but be dumbfounded, his daughter was right, the family stipulates that those who have reached the realm of Qi refining seven or more are qualified to become family elders or attend the family elder council and participate in the decision-making of major matters. The rest of the crowd couldn't argue with it.

So Xu Ling'er looked proud, walked to Du Feng's side, and stood still.

After Xu Ling'er stood still, Du Feng said lightly: "Just now the patriarch said that he was only thirty percent sure of fighting against the Li family, so what is the patriarch's plan?"

Xu Zimu sighed slightly, and then said ruthlessly: "If it really doesn't work, then tear your face, anyway, you can't let Ling'er marry Li Jianyuan's kid." ”

Everyone didn't speak, and Xu Ling'er on the side was also gloomy for a while when she heard this, and lowered her head slightly.

Xu Zhi snorted and said, "If you fight, you will fight, our Xu family is really afraid that his surname Li will not succeed." ”

Suddenly, Elder Cao, who had been silent, smiled and said, "You are all fans of the authorities! As long as you become the fifth largest family in Jiaocheng, does Miss Ling'er still need to marry into the Li family?"

"That's right!" Xu Zhi on the side said excitedly, "How can we forget about this, the Heavenly Sword Sect does not allow the major ruling families in Jiaocheng to intermarry with each other. ”

"yes, how did you forget that. Everyone also woke up one after another, and they were very excited for a while. Only Du Feng didn't know and asked, "Brother Xu, why is this?"

Xu Zhi's face was full of excitement and said: "That's the case, in order to maintain a balance between the four major families of Tianjian Gate and Jiaocheng, the covenant stipulates that the major ruling families cannot have a marriage connection with each other, but they can marry with other small families. ”

Du Feng nodded lightly, indicating understanding. At this time, Xu Zijin on the left said: "However, the Li family also knows this limitation, and they will definitely find a way to obstruct us from winning the promotion conference and becoming the fifth largest family." Perhaps, they will secretly support the Chen family. ”

Xu Zimu said: "No matter what, there is always a glimmer of hope. Du Feng said: "This promotion conference, is it the first to conduct the promotion competition of the major families, or to solve the grievances of each family first?"

Xu Zhidao: "Each promotion conference lasts for seven to ten days, usually the first two days are mainly for the warrior realm masters of the four major families to carry out yankuai, all the family children can participate, the third, fourth, and fifth days are for the family's promotion competition, the sixth and seventh days are to solve family or personal grievances, and finally for the major family members to trade with each other." ”

"In this way, there is hope that the matter of Miss Ling'er will be solved. Du Feng nodded and said.

"I hope so!" Xu Zimu sighed slightly.

Xu Ling'er, who was standing under Du Feng, had a somewhat gloomy face, lowered her head slightly, her eyes were slightly red, she pursed her lips tightly, and said loudly: "Anyway, I won't marry him, you can watch it." Then he turned and strode out of the chamber.

Du Feng smiled slightly, but Xu Zimu was a little embarrassed, his face was blue and red. The rest of the crowd looked at each other.

Five days later, the five-year promotion meeting of the various cultivation families in Jiaocheng was held at the stronghold of the Heavenly Sword Sect in Jiaocheng. The stronghold of the Heavenly Sword Sect in Jiaocheng is located in the western part of Jiaocheng, covering a vast area, with a length and width of two or three hundred zhang, and dozens of buildings in it.

There were not many people in the Xu family who participated in the promotion meeting, and the members were Xu Zimu, the head of the Xu family, seven elders including Du Feng, Xu Ling'er, and six other family members from the fifth to seventh layers of Qi refining, a total of fifteen people.

A group of fifteen people set off from the Xu family early in the morning and took the Xu family's car to the Heavenly Sword Sect's stronghold in Jiaocheng. Half an hour later, everyone arrived, and there were four young people from the fourth and fifth levels of qi refining at the gate, and a middle-aged man from the seventh level of qi refining stood in the center, his face slightly arrogant.

All five of them were dressed in pale cyan robes, with a small green pine tree embroidered on their chests, which was the symbol of the Lin family, the largest family in Jiaocheng. This promotion conference is held every five years, and each time the four major families take turns to preside over and receive, and this year it is the turn of the Lin family to preside over the conference, so a few people who are responsible for receiving each family at this gate are the Lin family.

As members of the largest family in Jiaocheng, these people's faces unconsciously revealed a faint sense of superiority, and when they looked at the personnel of the other families, they naturally had a kind of disdain, especially in the face of small families outside the four major families.

Therefore, when the Lin family member who was in charge of the reception at the door saw that it was the Xu family who arrived to participate in the conference, he didn't care about it at all, and when he saw that Xu Zimu and Du Feng were both junior warriors, he was surprised, but he still said arrogantly: "Patriarch Xu has actually advanced to the warrior realm, congratulations." The Xu family came quite early this year, and their strength doesn't seem to be weak, and the place to rest is the old place from last time, so go in by yourself. ”

Although he only had the realm of the seventh layer of qi refining, in the face of the two junior warrior realms and many members of the Xu family whose strength was stronger than him, this Lin family member was not afraid at all, and he did not have the slightest humility. Because he is a member of the Lin family, the largest family in Jiaocheng, in this Jiaocheng, in addition to respecting the Heavenly Sword Sect, the personnel of the rest of the families are not in the eyes of the Lin family at all, and he is certainly qualified to be proud.

Xu Zimu was not angry, but nodded slightly towards the middle-aged man, and said to everyone behind him: "Let's go go and rest first, the conference will start in nearly an hour." ”

Du Feng and the others were silent, followed Xu Zimu into the gate, and after turning a few corners, they came to a small courtyard with only two buildings, the one on the left has five floors, and the one on the right has only three floors.

Xu Zimu said: "Several elders live on the left with me and Ling'er, and the rest of the people live in the house on the right, there are many rooms, so let's find one by yourself." ”

Du Feng stayed in a room on the left side of the second floor. After entering the room, he sat quietly and rested inside, waiting for the start of the promotion meeting.

About an hour later, Xu Zhi came to Du Feng's room and called Du Feng to go over together, saying that the conference was about to start and that he was going to the square. When they came downstairs, the fifteen members of the Xu family walked out of the courtyard and walked slowly towards the central square.

Du Feng observed carefully, the faces of everyone in the Xu family were more solemn, with faint worries, especially Xu Ling'er, whose face was gloomy, without the kind of anger and vitality that matched that of a girl of her age, only the indifference on the face of the elder surnamed Cao.

Du Feng silently followed behind the five sons of the Xu family, his face was calm, and he watched the surrounding environment as he walked. On this day, the stronghold of the Sword Sect in the corner city was built very magnificently, not only covering a vast area, but also many buildings, and the decoration was extremely beautiful, even if it was a mortal palace.

Not long after, everyone came to the square, looking at this huge square, several members of the Xu family who participated in the conference for the first time couldn't help but be shocked by its magnificence. The square is located in the center of the whole stronghold complex, about 100 zhang long, about 80 zhang wide, in the center of the square there is a circular platform, about 1 zhang high, about 50 zhang in diameter. The various competitions of the promotion conference were held on this platform.

On the north side of the square, there is a rectangular grandstand with a height of two zhang, with two rows of seats in the shape of a figure eight, which is the seat of the patriarchs and important members of the various families. Around the circular platform are about 30 small pavilions with seats, each of which varies in size, from 20 to 100 in the large, for the rest of the family.
