In the cold wind, several maidservants of the Qu family were walking on the winding path with pots of clothes that needed to be washed. In the courtyard, the servant waved the broom in his hand to sweep away the little dust.

In a small courtyard in the Tianzi-level courtyard of the inner courtyard, Qu Donglin, who was injured by Qu Yuan, was lying on the bed, coughing lightly from time to time, and his face was unhealthy gray-white.

In front of Qu Zhiqi's bed, Qu Zhiqi sat gloomily.

"Father, you say...... That Qu Yuan, won the assessment qualifications of Wanchu Academy and the Holy Moon Sect?" Qu Donglin had just heard the news from his father, and he was stunned for a while.

In his heart, he was extremely resentful.

Qu Yuan and Qu Zhenfeng both obtained the assessment qualifications. There are a total of five qualifications in Yuyang City, and our Qu family accounts for two, and this time it can be regarded as showing his face. Qu Zhiqi nodded.

"Father, that Qu Yuan is so hateful, I almost died in his hands in the ring. This bastard, he is too ruthless. Qu Donglin was slightly excited, the injuries on his body, even if the chief pharmacist personally treated them, would take two months to recover.

He seems to have forgotten that he almost killed Qu Yuan with a slap in the martial arts arena in the outer courtyard.

"This bastard must be very proud now, he is now in the limelight in Yuyang City. Qu Donglin turned his eyes to look out the window, and suddenly his expression changed, "Father, you must not let this little bastard be so wishy-washy, I am unwilling, I am unwilling......"

"This assessment qualification originally belonged to me and belonged to me. Now, it's been snatched by this little bastard!" Qu Donglin's fists clenched tightly.

"Donglin!" Qu Zhiqi frowned and looked at Qu Donglin, "You have to take care of your injuries now, and when your injuries are healed, you have to redouble your efforts to cultivate and make up for the time lost during this period of time." ”

"As for Qu Yuan and Qu Mingyuan, hmph, I won't let them have such a good time. I have applied to the Presbyterian Council for arbitration, and the arbitration will commence today or tomorrow. Qu Zhiqi said with a slight squint in his eyes.

"What?"

"Council of Elders arbitration?" Qu Donglin was taken aback and exclaimed.

The elder council of the family will arbitrate, and it will not be initiated. In the last 100 years of the Qu family's history, there have only been three presbyterian arbitrations. These three times were all because of the betrayal of the family by high-ranking figures in the family. The presbyterian council arbitration is to discuss ways to punish the traitors of the family.

If it is an ordinary family member who betrays the family, then it can be killed or abolished directly. However, the upper echelons of the family, important family figures with great influence in the family, must use the method of presbyterian arbitration.

Moreover, the consequences of arbitration will be serious!

Therefore, Qu Donglin was so surprised when he heard the Elders' Meeting's arbitration.

"Well, Qu Mingyuan fornicated with the Wei family and was a traitor to my Qu family. I must apply to sanction this traitor through Presbyterian arbitration. Qu Zhiqi nodded and said.

Qu Donglin was stunned.

"How could it be? How could Qu Mingyuan fornicate with the Wei family?" Qu Donglin frowned.

Qu Mingyuan is Qu Yuan's grandfather, and of course Qu Donglin will not have a good impression of him, but when it comes to his fornication with the Wei family, Qu Donglin also thinks it is unlikely.

"Hmph, how is it impossible for people to be separated from their stomachs? Donglin, you should remember the three-star gastrodia found in the mining area in the west of the city, right?" Qu Zhiqi snorted coldly.

"Yes, I remember. Qu Donglin looked at Qu Zhiqi and nodded.

"That piece of gastrodia stone was given to the five elders of the Wei family by Qu Mingyuan himself. This incident proves that he has an affair with the Wei family, and such a traitor must be cleared out of my Qu family. Hmph, offend me, they want to get better, it's impossible!" Qu Zhiqi's expression was hideous, he stood up, looked at Qu Donglin and said softly, "Donglin, you have a good rest." Look, in less than two or three days, Qu Mingyuan, an old thing, will be expelled from the Qu family. ”

After his words fell, he turned around and walked out of Qu Donglin's room.

After Qu Zhiqi left, a young maid in Tsing Yi hurriedly walked in from outside. Recently, Young Master Qu Donglin has a very bad temper and is moody, she must be careful and not make a single mistake. A few days ago, Chunxiang, the maidservant who served Young Master Qu Donglin, was beaten to death by Young Master Qu Donglin because of a trivial matter.

......

Qujia City West Mining Area!

"Deacon Mingyuan!"

In the courtyard of the mining area, a guard hurried in and shouted outside a house.

"What's the matter?"

Qu Mingyuan walked out of the room and asked.

"Deacon Mingyuan, the patriarch has sent an order to let you go back to the family mansion in Yuyang City immediately, there is something important. The guard bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Well, got it. Qu Mingyuan frowned slightly, and then waved his hand at the guard.

Recently, there have been a lot of things in the mining area, and the conflict between the Qu family and the Wei family has a tendency to further intensify, and because of this, Qu Mingyuan has not had time to return to the family.

However, yesterday he already knew that Qu Yuan had obtained the assessment qualifications of Wanchu Academy and the Holy Moon Sect in the City Lord's Mansion selection competition, and Qu Mingyuan was also very happy when he heard this news.

At that time, he wanted to go back to the family to celebrate with Qu Yuan's grandfather and grandson, but in the end he didn't go back because of the tense situation in the mining area in the west of the city.

And now, the patriarch suddenly sent an order to let him return to the family, and he didn't know what happened.

After a moment of silence, Qu Mingyuan briefly explained to the other two deacons in the mining area, and then quickly left the mining area and rushed to Yuyang City.

An hour and a half later, Qu Mingyuan entered the Qu family's mansion.

"Deacon Mingyuan!"

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Qu Mingyuan heard a voice coming from the side.

He turned his eyes and saw that it was the third elder Qu Renshen standing not far away, and it was Qu Renshen who was calling himself.

"Three Elders. Qu Mingyuan was slightly stunned, then walked over and said.

"Mingyuan, something happened. Qu Renshen frowned, shook his head slightly, and looked at Qu Mingyuan and said in a deep voice.

"What's wrong?" Qu Mingyuan's heart sank, but he immediately calmed down, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's Nine Elder Qu Zhiqi. Qu Renshen sighed, and then said, "Let's talk as we go, Qu Zhiqi applied to the patriarch for the Elders' Council of Elders for arbitration, saying that he would sanction Deacon Mingyuan for you. ”

The two of them walked towards the inner courtyard.

On the way, many children of the Qu family, when they saw Qu Renshen and Qu Mingyuan, they all greeted respectfully from afar. They didn't dare to get too close, so it didn't interfere with the whispered conversation between the two.

"Sanction me?" Qu Mingyuan was a little surprised, and then said with a sneer, "Third Elder, for what reason does he want to sanction me?"

"I heard the patriarch say that Qu Zhiqi's reason is that you fornicated with the Wei family and betrayed the family. Qu Renshen frowned and said.

"What?"

"Say I betrayed the family?" Qu Mingyuan's eyes suddenly widened, and his voice was raised a lot, revealing anger.

"Damn, this old bastard is clearly framing me. Qu Mingyuan tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

However, he even scolded the old bastard, which shows the anger in his heart at this time. In fact, Qu Zhiqi's age is a few years younger than him.

"Third Elder, does the patriarch believe what he said?" Qu Mingyuan took a breath, calmed the anger in his heart slightly, and asked again.

Qu Ren shook his head, looked at Qu Mingyuan and said, "The patriarch doesn't believe it. ”

"At first, Qu Zhiqi wanted to punish you through the Council of Elders, but the patriarch did not agree. Deacon Mingyuan, what kind of person you are in the Qu family for so many years, we all know it, and the patriarch also knows. In addition, Qu Yuan, the kid, is angry again, and he is about to go to Qiye City to participate in the assessment of Wanchu Academy and the Holy Moon Sect. Therefore, the patriarch directly rejected Qu Zhiqi's request to set you off. Qu Renshen said slowly.

However, after being silent for a while, Qu Zhiqi suddenly proposed that the Council of Elders arbitrate. Deacon Mingyuan, you should know the significance of the arbitration of the family elders, even if it is the Qingyun Patriarch, he has no power to prevent the arbitration. The nine elders of the Qu family all have the power to apply for arbitration. Qu Renshen said with a sigh.

"I've been waiting for you here for nearly an hour, just to tell you about this first, so that you can be prepared. Qu Renshen changed his words again and said in a deep voice.

Qu Mingyuan's face was also much gloomy.

By doing this, Qu Zhiqi is completely tearing his face with him, and Qu Zhiqi wants to put him to death! Once the arbitration is determined, it will be very serious.

"Even if it's an Elders' council of Ministers, what about it? I don't believe that a few elders will support him. Qu Mingyuan's eyelids trembled, and he said in a rough voice.

"Deacon Mingyuan. Qu Renshen looked at Qu Mingyuan, "Of course I will never support the Ninth Elder Qu Zhiqi, however, I am worried that he has done something secretly, you still have to make some preparations." You should know that Qu Zhiqi has a relatively close relationship with the Eighth Elder, the Fifth Elder, the Second Elder, and others. ”

Qu Mingyuan raised his gaze slightly and exhaled.

"Well, I see, thank you, Third Elder. Qu Mingyuan nodded.

During the conversation, the two had reached the junction of the inner and outer courtyards. The two guards outside the gate of the inner courtyard saw Qu Mingyuan and Qu Renshen coming, and hurriedly saluted.

"Deacon Mingyuan, then you have to be prepared, I'll go first. Entering the inner courtyard, Qu Renshen nodded to Qu Mingyuan and left quickly.

Qu Mingyuan pondered for a while, his eyes flashed, and he also raised his feet and walked quickly towards the courtyard where Qu Qingyun lived.

In the courtyard, Qu Mingyuan saw Qu Qingyun, Qu Qingyun said that Qu Zhiqi applied for arbitration from the Council of Elders, and told Qu Mingyuan that the arbitration would start in the afternoon.

Of the nine elders, only the four elders have not yet rushed back to the family, but around noon, the four elders will be able to rush back from the field.

The Council of Elders arbitrated, and the nine elders of the Qu family must all be present.

Qu Mingyuan left the courtyard where the patriarch Qu Qingyun lived with anger, and came to the Tianzi-level courtyard, the small courtyard where Qu Yuan lived. However, Xiao Li told Qu Mingyuan that Qu Yuan was in retreat, so Qu Mingyuan did not disturb Qu Yuan's cultivation, but told Xiao Li a few more words to take good care of Qu Yuan.
