Chapter 2: The Council of Clan Elders

"Patriarch!"

"Hmm. ”

When Li Xiaotian came to the clan ancestral hall, the two rows of family guards outside the ancestral hall suddenly straightened up, and saluted Li Xiaotian in unison, and Li Xiaotian also nodded frequently and responded with a warm smile.

Immediately afterwards, another guard ran out briskly from the inside of the ancestral hall door, first bowed respectfully to Li Xiaotian, and then said:

"Patriarch, Great Elder and others have been waiting inside for a long time. ”

"Hmm!"

Li Xiaotian's smile was still the same, and he also nodded in response, and then stepped into the gate of the clan ancestral hall with his head held high.

The next moment, only to hear the sound of brushing, the elders who were sitting in two rows on the left and right in the ancestral hall all stood up, and then bowed neatly to Li Xiaotian.

"Patriarch!"

Li Xiaotian glanced deeply at the elders on the right this time, and secretly snorted coldly in his heart, but he was still smiling on the surface, hurriedly waved his hand, and said with a heroic smile:

"Hahaha, the elders don't have to be polite, please take a seat!"

While speaking, Li Xiaotian himself also sat down on the patriarch's seat quickly, and when the elders saw this, they also sat down one by one. However, without waiting for the elders to sit still, the smile on Li Xiaotian's face suddenly became solemn, and he said a little coldly:

"Since the family moved to this Wanling Town, there has never been such a battle, right! Could it be that the family has another big trouble coming? But how can I, as the patriarch, not know?"

After Li Xiaotian finished asking, he looked at the Great Elder sitting at the head of the right with a questioning expression.

But the Great Elder was sitting on the chair with his eyes slightly closed at this time, as if he was in a state of flux, as if he hadn't heard Li Xiaotian's question at all, completely ignoring it.

At this time, Li Fan also came to the door of the clan ancestral hall with Xiao Lori, and the family guards immediately wanted to salute when they saw it, but Li Fan hurriedly signaled to stop it, and then took his sister to stand quietly by the window, listening to the conversation inside.

"Humph!"

In the ancestral hall, Li Xiaotian saw that the Great Elder had ignored his authority, his face instantly sank, he snorted heavily, and his eyes turned to the faces of all the other elders one by one, but seeing that the other elders were all bowing their heads and not daring to speak, he immediately became angry:

"Why, no one spoke? Who is it that is advocating for a meeting of clan elders!

As soon as Li Xiaotian's words came out, the Great Elder's cloudy old eyes finally opened, but he said two words casually:

"It's me. ”

Li Xiaotian immediately scolded in his heart, "Lao Tzu naturally knows that it is you who are immortal!", but on the surface, his tone was a little slower, oh, and said in a deep voice:

"It turned out to be the Great Elder, I don't know what happened to the family, it was so serious that a meeting of the clan elders was held, and since such an important thing happened in the family, why didn't anyone report to the patriarch!"

However, after listening to Li Xiaotian's words, the Great Elder's old eyes were half-narrowed again, he glanced at Li Xiaotian mockingly, smiled, and then said slowly:

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to tell you!"

Hearing this, Li Xiaotian's anger that he was holding back suddenly couldn't be suppressed anymore, and he was furious:

"How can this be reasonable! Great Elder, this patriarch should ask, as the patriarch of a clan, is there anything else in the Li family that this patriarch is not suitable to know? What a big joke!"

The Great Elder closed his eyes again, stopped talking, and came again with a naked disregard, which made Li Xiaotian even more angry, but at this moment, the Third Elder who was sitting under the Great Elder suddenly intervened, and laughed strangely.

"Tut-tut, it's going to be soon!"

When Li Xiaotian heard this, he laughed angrily, and asked with an angry smile:

"Hahaha, Third Elder, can the patriarch understand the meaning of your words to mean that you want to seek power and usurp the throne? Otherwise, how would you know that the patriarch can't continue to be the patriarch? Huh?"

However, the three elders were not afraid of Li Xiaotian detaining him with such a heavy crime, and even more unscrupulous, the whole thing was like a villain, and he continued to agitate angrily:

"Tut-tut, Li Xiaotian, don't you want to scare me, this is not what Elder Ben means alone, but what all the elders mean!"

As soon as the third elder said this, sitting at the first place on the left, the second elder, who was already furious, almost jumped up from his seat, pointed at the third elder's nose and scolded:

"Traitor! Don't talk nonsense! When did the old man agree to your great rebellious deed?"

Immediately, several elders from the Second Elder's line also stood up and refuted one after another.

"Yes, we don't agree either!"

Seeing this situation, the third elder suddenly weakened, and instinctively took a step back, but after looking back at the Great Elder and the elders on his side, he straightened his waist and stepped forward again, intensifying his-for-tat:

"Hehe, don't forget, the clan elder council is a minority obeys the majority, and there are more elders on our side than on your side!"

"You, you, anyway, you are a traitor to the family who seeks power and usurps the throne!"

The second elder was immediately so angry by the third elder's sentence that the minority obeyed the majority and didn't know how to refute it, because the third elder and the others were not using any conspiracy, but a naked conspiracy, and they were powerless to refute it at all.

However, as soon as the Second Elder's words came out, the Great Elder's face immediately became extremely gloomy, and he said coldly:

"The second elder is wrong to say this! The traitor of the family, the eldest elder of this family, can't afford it, this is a joint decision of more than half of the elders, please don't talk nonsense! Otherwise, you will blame the great elder for not loving the same clan! Hmph!"

Seeing that the Great Elder finally spoke, the Third Elder, who felt that he had been on the cusp, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he was not afraid of facing the Second Elder and the others alone just now. And now, when the Great Elder spoke, he immediately echoed it as if he had taken a stimulant.

"Yes, yes, this is the joint resolution of more than half of the elders, which can be said to be expected, and besides, the reason why we have such a resolution is completely for the sake of the future of the family!"

But what the Third Elder didn't notice was that as soon as he said this, it once again completely angered Li Xiaotian.

I saw that Li Xiaotian's face was instantly red with anger, almost angry, and the monstrous momentum was completely uncontrollable, and the clothes on his body suddenly became windless, and a violent wind was immediately set off in the entire ancestral hall, and all the elders, except for the great elders, all of them changed their faces in an instant, feeling the coercion of Li Xiaotian's momentum, a strong fear rose in their hearts, and their bodies began to tremble involuntarily.

Li Xiao stared at the three elders like a falcon, and said gloomily:

"Third Elder, what do you mean by this? Are you doubting that the patriarch can't lead the family to revive the glory of the family again?"

Feeling Li Xiaotian's monstrous anger towards him, the Third Elder immediately turned pale with fright, cold sweat broke out, his neck involuntarily shrank back, and he turned sideways and hid behind the Great Elder. To be honest, he had a heartfelt fear of Li Xiaotian, not because Li Xiaotian was the patriarch, but because Li Xiaotian was recognized as the strongest person in the family!

But then, the third elder felt that he couldn't lose face in front of everyone like this, and thought that more than half of the elders such as the Great Elder supported him, and now it could be said that there was no way out, so he forcibly stood behind the Great Elder and retorted in a trembling voice:

"I, I didn't say that you can't be the patriarch, but you, your son Li Fan can't! will, in the future, if you pass on the position of patriarch to Li Fan and give it to Li Fan, then, then the family, how can there be a future?"

The words of the third elder undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and sure enough, as soon as Li Xiaotian heard this, his eyes instantly burst into anger like a substance, and he stared at the third elder angrily and scolded loudly:

"Third Elder, don't you think your reason is ridiculous? My mortal Ten Thousand Soul Martial Vein, which is rare to see in ten thousand years, is a waste? Then aren't your Third Elder a waste of waste!"

At the same time, Li Fan outside the window listened to the words of the three elders, and finally completely understood the reason for the whole thing, and even heard that his father was impeached by the three elders and others because of his "waste", and his fists suddenly trembled.

Li Fei'er next to her immediately noticed her brother's clenched fists and unusual changes in his face, and was immediately frightened, and hurriedly stretched out his little hand to hold his brother's hand worriedly, and gently called out with concern:

"Brother, please don't be like this, your current appearance is so scary, calm down......"

Li Fan suddenly woke up when he heard this, his heart warmed, he calmed down in an instant, his clenched fists slowly stretched, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Lori gratefully and smiled, passing a reassuring look, and continued to listen to the fierce dispute in the window.

Little Lori patted her little chest with relief, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to listen quietly.

However, at this time, in the ancestral hall, the three elders listened to Li Xiaotian's words, but they showed a look of successful trickery, and they made a mysterious strange laugh, and said:

"Hehe, patriarch, since you have so much confidence in Li Fan, why don't you let him try it with Li Hao? As long as Li Fan can win against Li Hao, we will never mention today's matter again!How about it?"

"Ahem, cough, how can this be ......?"

Li Xiaotian didn't know that he had fallen into the trap of the three elders at this time, and he was immediately so angry that he coughed violently, and the monstrous momentum also dissipated in an instant.

"Ahem, you, don't think about it! This patriarch will never agree!"

Li Xiaotian's momentum dissipated, and the three elders immediately laughed even more happily:

"Hehe, Li Xiaotian, it doesn't matter if you don't agree, then we have to go through the family impeachment procedure, and now I propose here in the name of the three elders to remove Li Xiaotian from the position of patriarch, and the elders who agree, please raise your hand to vote!"

Immediately, all the elders of the Great Elder's family raised their right hands one after another, obviously more than half, and the three elders laughed strangely when they saw this, but just as he was about to announce the voting results with a proud face, a somewhat immature and sharp young man's voice suddenly came in from outside the ancestral hall.

"Wait, who's to say we don't agree to the competition?"

Suddenly, everyone couldn't help but follow the sound to look out the door, only to see a handsome young man in green clothes and a little Lori in a blue dress standing at the door, it was none other than Li Fan's brothers and sisters who had been listening outside the window for a long time.

Under the attention of a pair of eyes, Li Fan took Li Fei'er into the ancestral hall without hurry, first bowed reverently to the rows of tablets in the ancestral hall, and then said solemnly to the elders:

"We agreed to compete!"

When Li Xiaotian heard this, he immediately hurriedly stopped coughing:

"Fan'er, don't talk nonsense!"

However, Li Fan smiled with his father, gave him a reassuring look, and said:

"Daddy, listen to the child first!"

Seeing this, Li Xiaotian had no choice but to cough and nod in agreement.

So, Li Fan continued to say to the elders:

"I can compete with Li Hao, but we have one condition, since we want to compete, then we have three competitions, it just so happens that there are three people in our room?

After hearing Li Fan's conditions, the three elders immediately wanted to object, because he knew that Li Fei'er was also a genius at the same level as Li Hao in his family, and if Li Xiaotian, the strongest person in the family, was added, then the final result of this competition, Li Xiaotian's side would have a great chance of winning.

As a result, the three elders of the "Urgent Pioneer" were the first to stand up and object:

"No, Li Fei'er is a girl, and women can't be allowed to interfere in family affairs! Don't mention any conditions, you little waste, you either have to compete with Li Hao, otherwise we will directly vote for family impeachment, wouldn't it be easier!"

After saying that, he began to feel complacent that he was the first person to stand up and refute, and at the same time, he did not forget to look at the Great Elder with a flattering face.

However, the Great Elder glared at him fiercely and said loudly:

"Okay, three games are three, this is Li Fan's own request, and the Great Elder will depend on you!"

"Great Elder, this, isn't this okay?" The Great Elder's words suddenly made the Third Elder a little dumbfounded.

However, when the Great Elder heard this, his face was even more cold, and he said in a deep voice to the Third Elder:

"It's decided!"

The three elders immediately shrank their heads in fright, and did not dare to speak again.

And after the Great Elder saw that the Third Elder was honest, he continued to smile at Li Xiaotian and said:

"Hehe, Patriarch Xiaotian, since this is the case, then the competition will be set for tomorrow!"

After saying this, regardless of whether Li Xiaotian agreed or not, he directly announced the adjournment of the meeting:

"Okay, that's the end of today's clan elder meeting, let's all disperse!"

After the announcement, he took the lead in getting up and leaving directly, such a move, it can be said that he no longer looks at Li Xiaotian, the patriarch, in his eyes.

As soon as the elders who followed the Great Elder saw the Great Elder get up and leave, they all got up immediately one by one, and hurriedly followed behind the Great Elder, lest they take a step too late, not only to make their position clear, but also for fear that they would be too late, and Li Xiaotian would be angry and angry with them, which would be miserable.

"Smack!"

"How unreasonable!"

Sure enough, as soon as the Great Elder and the others left, Li Xiaotian was so angry that he slapped the ironwood table in front of him, so frightened that the Second Elder and the others who had not left did not dare to come out, and they all sat upright. It wasn't until a long time later that the second elder felt that his anger had subsided a little before he dared to step forward and say a few words of comfort.

"Great Elder, why did you agree to Li Fan's wasteful conditions? Li Xiaotian is the strongest person in the family......

"The first strong one, hmph! Tomorrow, Li Xiaotian will just hand it over to the Great Elder!"

"Ah, Great Elder, have you broken through? That's great! I said, Great Elder, you are really wise......!
