Qu Yuan sat next to his grandfather Qu Mingyuan, and he could feel that his grandfather Qu Mingyuan was a little nervous at this time.

Once the Elder Council arbitrator determines that he is suspected of colluding with the Wei family, then he may never be able to set foot in Yuyang City again in his life. It is likely that he will be exiled forever, or even abolished from his cultivation.

"I agree with the three elders. The Great Elder spoke up.

"Huh...... I believe that the Nine Elders are human beings. The second elder rolled his eyelids.

"I agree with what the Nine Elders said. "The Fifth Elder was lean, his skin was dark, and the wrinkles on his face looked like the mottled bark of an old tree.

He opened his eyes and looked at them, and when he had finished, he closed them and sat down again.

"I trust Deacon Mingyuan. The four elders said with a look in their eyes.

"I also trust Deacon Mingyuan. The Seventh Elder stroked his long gray beard.

Among the nine elders, the Greatest, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, and Eighth Elders all quickly expressed their positions. The current situation is that there are four elders who oppose the arbitration of Qu Mingyuan, namely the Great Elder, the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, and the Seventh Elder.

The second elder, the fifth elder, the eighth elder, and the ninth elder, Qu Mingyuan, advocated arbitration of Qu Mingyuan.

The only one who hasn't expressed his stance yet is Qu Hai, the sixth elder of the family.

Everyone's eyes looked at Qu Hai at this time. Qu Yuan's impression of the six elders Qu Hai is also relatively good, and he thinks that Qu Hai is a more just elder of the Qu family.

Qu Zhiqi's application to the Presbyterian Council to arbitrate Qu Mingyuan, if he is completely neutral, he should think that Qu Mingyuan should not be arbitrated. Qu Mingyuan has served as the ninth elder of the Qu family for a long time, and after so many years in the Qu family, everyone knows his conduct very well.

As if he didn't feel everyone's gaze, Qu Hai lowered his head slightly, looked at the desktop in front of him, and didn't speak for a long time.

Another moment passed.

"Sixth Elder, what is your opinion?" Qu Qingyun couldn't help but ask.

There are a total of nine elders in the Qu family, four of whom advocate non-arbitration and four of whom advocate arbitration. Then the opinions of the six elders Qu Hai played a role in determining the surname.

"What's going on?"

"The Sixth Elder has become very hesitant, is it ......" Qu Yuan's brows furrowed, and his heart quickly swirled with thoughts.

The elders expressed their opinions one after another, and when only the sixth elder Qu Hai was left before he could speak, Qu Yuan's mood also relaxed slightly. He felt that the Sixth Elder Qu Hai would definitely believe in his grandfather Qu Mingyuan and oppose arbitration.

And now, Qu Hai has been slow to make a statement.

Qu Mingyuan showed a little smugness on his face, and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was confident.

"Oops, Elder Qu Hai, could it be that you have secretly reached an agreement with Qu Zhiqi?" Qu Yuan's brows moved, his eyes flashed, and then he turned to look at Qu Mingyuan.

Qu Mingyuan, the body sitting on the chair leaned back, and he seemed to feel that something was wrong.

"I, support the decision of the Nine Elders. Finally, Qu Hai took a deep breath, raised his head sharply, and said his opinion. When he said this, the whole person seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed.

Qu Yuan's face changed.

Although he had expected that something might be wrong before Qu Hai spoke, when Qu Hai really said that he supported the Ninth Elder Qu Zhiqi, Qu Yuan still felt a pang in his heart.

And Qu Mingyuan, who was sitting next to Qu Yuan, his whole body trembled, and he looked at the sixth elder Qu Hai incredulously. Immediately, there was a sad expression on his face, as if he was disappointed.

Qu Yuan knew that his grandfather Qu Mingyuan had always had a good relationship with the sixth elder Qu Hai. Judging from blood kinship alone, his relationship with Qu Hai is also two generations closer than the relationship between Qu Zhiqi and Qu Hai.

But now, Qu Hai expressed his support for the arbitration application of the Ninth Elder Qu Zhiqi, which is chilling.

Among those present, I'm afraid the only one who didn't show an unexpected expression was Qu Zhiqi, after Qu Hai said that sentence, Qu Zhiqi just naturally showed a smile.

"Patriarch!"

According to the rules, if half of the elders advocate arbitration, then the arbitration will naturally take effect. Now, Qu Mingyuan's secret collusion with the Wei family has become a fact, and we should discuss how to punish Qu Mingyuan, right?" Qu Zhiqi said casually at the patriarch Qu Qingyun.

According to the rules of the clan, as he said. More than half of the nine elders advocated arbitration for Qu Mingyuan.

Patriarch Qu Qingyun must accept the final opinion of the Council of Elders in the arbitration applied by the elders. He, the patriarch, could not be above the Council of Elders.

Qu Qingyun's face was a little gloomy, and his gaze swept sharply over the faces of several elders with different expressions.

"Now, let's continue to discuss the punishment. Qu Qingyun's tone was heavy.

"Before the elders discuss the punishment method, Qu Mingyuan, you can go out and wait first. After the presbyterian meeting, you will naturally know what kind of punishment you will face. Qu Zhiqi said with a smug sneer.

Qu Mingyuan didn't say a word, he felt at this time, as if in the face of the enemy's fierce attack, the brother who was supposed to fight with him stabbed himself fiercely with a sharp knife in his back.

After Qu Zhiqi's words fell, Qu Mingyuan slowly stood up, as if he didn't care about everything, and even had an indescribable smile on his face. He's chilled!

"Grandpa, wait!"

Suddenly, Qu Yuan spoke out.

Qu Yuan had already made a decision in his heart, he couldn't let his grandfather Qu Mingyuan be sanctioned by the family. He slowly stood up and looked squarely at the patriarch Qu Qingyun.

"Qu Yuan, what do you want to do?" Qu Zhiqi was slightly stunned, and immediately shouted sharply, "At the elders' meeting, Hugh is presumptuous. ”

"Qu Yuan. Qu Qingyun also shook his head lightly, signaling Qu Yuan not to come nonsense.

"Qu Yuan, come out with me for a while, let's take this opportunity to have a good chat. Qu Mingyuan first shouted, and then said with a smile.

"Patriarch!" Qu Yuanxian did not respond to Qu Mingyuan, but continued, "I, I want to challenge the Ninth Elder Qu Zhiqi!"

Qu Yuan's words made the atmosphere in the entire council hall suddenly condense.

Everyone seemed to be stunned. Even Qu Qingyun looked at Qu Yuan incredulously, opening his mouth slightly.

Several elders stared at Qu Yuan with shocked eyes.

"Qu Yuan, what did you just say?" Qu Qingyun asked again in surprise.

"Patriarch, I want to challenge the position of Ninth Elder Qu Zhiqi's elder. ”

"The presbyterian council shall vote in arbitration, and the opinion adopted shall be that of the majority of the elders. If I succeed in challenging the Nine Elders, then the Nine Elders Qu Zhiqi will naturally not be an Elder, and he will not have the right to vote on the arbitration. Although Qu Yuan's voice was low, it resounded very clearly throughout the hall.

"Hah...... Haha!"

Qu Zhiqi let out a loud laugh.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Qu Yuan, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world, and stood up from his seat at the same time.

"Stunned boy, do you know what you're talking about?" After Qu Zhiqi put away his laughter, he looked at Qu Yuan and said in a cold voice, "Qu Yuan, do you think that you have obtained the assessment qualifications of Wanchu Academy and the Holy Moon Sect, so you can not take the family elders in your eyes? Boy, you are really presumptuous!"

Qu Zhiqi, when he spoke, his body trembled slightly.

Obviously, he was angered by Qu Yuan. As an elder of the family, he was humiliated by a descendant of a family in front of the patriarch and many elders. That's right, Qu Yuan's challenge, that is Chi Guoguo's humiliation. Being challenged by a teenage family junior, named and named, I am afraid that it is unbearable for any elder to be replaced.

"Patriarch, elders, please allow me to challenge the Ninth Elder Qu Zhiqi. I, Qu Yuan, am going to challenge Qu Zhiqi today. Qu Yuan clenched his fists, turned his gaze to Qu Zhiqi's body, and said sonorously and forcefully.

At this time, no one would think that Qu Yuan was talking casually.

Obviously, he really had this intention.

"Qu Yuan, don't mess around, wait with Deacon Mingyuan out of the council hall first. Great Elder Qu Fengyu paused, then stood up in a calm voice and said to Qu Yuan.

"Well, Qu Yuan, be calm. Everything must be thought through, and you can't do it on the spur of the moment. Third Elder Qu Renshen also said.

"At such a young age, it's really arrogant. At the beginning, his father Qu Chenxing wasn't so arrogant, right?" the Eighth Elder stared at Qu Yuan coldly and scolded.

"According to the family rules, as long as the elders agree, any child of the Qu family can challenge the nine elders of the family, right? At that time, my grandfather was the ninth elder, didn't Qu Zhiqi challenge it like this?" Qu Yuan had no intention of giving up.

According to the clan rules of the Qu family, Qu Yuan could indeed apply to the Patriarch and the Council of Elders to challenge the Nine Elders. Of course, the consent of the patriarchs and the council of elders is required.

The patriarch, the Great Elder, and the Third Elder dissuaded Qu Yuan because they didn't think Qu Yuan had enough strength. The contradiction between the Ninth Elder Qu Zhiqi and Qu Mingyuan's grandfather and grandson, who can't see it at this time?

"Boy, even if the Lord of Yuyang City admits that your talent is very high, but that is only a high talent. You're still too tender now. Qu Zhiqi's face turned blue and said fiercely.

"Qu Zhiqi, do you dare to fight?" Qu Yuan smiled and said directly.

For a while, the entire council hall fell silent again, and the patriarch and several elders glanced at each other and did not speak.

"Child, I'm already an old bone, how many years can I live? There are some things that we have to learn to endure......" Qu Mingyuan sighed and shook his head.

Before he finished speaking, Qu Yuan looked at him and said, "Grandpa, it's not been a day or two since I challenged the Nine Elders. Since I applied for the challenge, I was sure enough. If I face the Great Elder and the Third Elder, I may not be an opponent. But for the Ninth Elder Qu Zhiqi, with my strength, it is more than enough. ”

Qu Yuan spoke lightly, with a faint contempt and sneer.

When these words came out, Qu Zhiqi almost jumped up directly. Qu Yuan is simply stretching out his hand and slapping his old face!
