Chapter 705: The Elders' Decision
Although Xiao Zihong did not separate the victory or defeat with Ye Qingyan, he still remembered the pressure that Ye Qingyan gave him at that time, it was definitely the most dangerous moment he had ever encountered, and it could be said that he couldn't last long.
Xiao Zihong's words also made the faces of several elders change drastically, and Xiao Ling hurriedly asked: "Even if he has just broken through the Sage, it is impossible for him to be your opponent, can he still fight beyond the level, in this case, then he is a genius." β
Xiao Zihong hurriedly said: "The second elder is right, he is a genius, if he is not a genius, can he still make my Xiao family so embarrassed? β
Xiao Wenfeng said to Xiao Fei again: "Do you think that Ye Tong is as powerful as Young Master Xiao Zihong said?"
This Xiao Fei thought that this Ye Tong was as powerful as Xiao Zihong said, and he said that he was powerful could also prove the danger of fighting with Ye Tong, so he hurriedly said: "It's indeed like he said, it's very powerful, so I was attacked by my eldest brother." β
"If you talk nonsense again, I'll kill you. Xiao Zihong couldn't help but shout again.
Xiao Wenfeng hurriedly said: "Xiao Zihong, stop it, now you all agree on one thing, that is, this Ye Tong's strength is at least about the same as yours, right?"
Xiao Fei and Xiao Zihong both nodded, Xiao Wenfeng and Xiao Ling whispered a few words, and then said, "Xiao Zihong, do you have anything else to say?"
Xiao Zihong hurriedly said: "I hope that the Elders Council can severely punish this person who wants to frame me and my son, otherwise I will not have a quiet time in the Xiao family." β
At this time, Xiao Fei also stood up and said, "I also ask the Elders to severely punish the person who framed me, otherwise I would not be able to live in the Xiao family." β
These two people said similar things, and Xiao Wenfeng said, "I know all your words." As for which of you said what he said was true and who said it was false, we will investigate carefully, you go back first and wait for our news. β
This result made Xiao Zihong and Xiao Fei not very satisfied. Especially Xiao Zihong, he obviously felt that the Elder Council didn't really want to solve the conflict between them, but seemed to be more interested in Ye Tong, but he had no way to compete with the Elder Council, which was a force that could influence the patriarch.
The two had to quit the Council of Elders, and Xiao Fei escaped immediately on the way. is afraid that Xiao Zihong will come to chase and kill him, although he is not afraid of Xiao Zihong, but he does not want to conflict with Xiao Zihong in the clan, because Xiao Zihong is still the eldest brother, and it is natural for the eldest brother to beat him. But if he hits the eldest brother, it will be a bit too much.
After they left, Xiao Wenfeng said to the other elders, "Which of them do you think told a lie?"
Several elders looked at each other, and no one took the initiative to talk about it, Xiao Wenfeng hurriedly said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it, although these two are young masters, we still have to investigate this matter." Second Elder, tell me what you think. β
Xiao Ling hurriedly said, "Great Elder." According to my opinion, most of the time Xiao Fei lied, and we all know the personalities of the two of them. After all, Xiao Zihong is more upright and generally doesn't lie, and it is related to his son's life, but Xiao Fei is different, we all know that he is very scheming, and he usually likes to play tricks. This time, it was probably him who came up with such a strategy to suppress Xiao Zihong, but I didn't expect him to dare to kill Xiao Zihong. This matter is more serious, and it must be investigated well. β
Xiao Wenfeng asked the other elders, "What do you think?"
The other three elders all expressed their opinions, "We agree with the second elder. They all thought that Xiao Fei was lying. β
Xiao Wenfeng nodded and said, "That's okay, I'll verify this matter, and."
Inform the patriarch of the verified situation to see how he will deal with it, this is a matter between the young masters, and it must be decided by the patriarch himself. β
The second elder Xiao Ling said: "Great Elder, I think if this matter goes to the patriarch, the patriarch will not be very easy to deal with, because they are all the sons of the patriarch, do you want him to do anything to Xiao Fei, I think this matter still needs to be discussed, and once we tell the patriarch the results of the investigation, the patriarch will definitely punish Xiao Fei severely, Xiao Fei naturally has a grudge against us, we old guys have lived for so long, and we don't want to be hated, what do you think." β
The other three elders also nodded their heads, they had always obeyed Xiao Ling's words, because he was indeed the wise man among them.
Xiao Wenfeng listened to Xiao Ling's words, and also thought about it: "Since several elders agree with the second elder's opinion, then I will also do it according to the second elder's opinion, even if this matter is not over, if the patriarch asks, we will say that the matter has not been investigated clearly, and it is not easy to make a decision, so let the two of them solve the matter by themselves, this patriarch's position, only one person can get it, and whoever can get it depends on whose ability." β
Although Xiao Wenfeng sounded like he was doing what the second elder Xiao Ling said, in fact, he already had an idea in his heart, he would not report this matter to the patriarch, Xiao Fei is the son of the patriarch, if he wants to kill his own son, the patriarch will naturally not be able to do it, once such a situation occurs, Xiao Fei will naturally not have any good feelings towards the elders in the future, Xiao Wenfeng, as a great elder, naturally has to know how to weigh it, the reason why he said in front of these people that he wanted to report to the patriarch is just to let them say it, so that he can be regarded as their opinionγ
"Let's discuss their affairs here, I think what we should be most concerned about now is the young man named Ye Tong, you also heard it just now, he is young, he can already compete with Xiao Zihong and them, this person's strength has improved too fast, it is simply an incredible thing, if he is given a certain amount of time, he will definitely threaten the safety of our Xiao family." β
The Great Elder has put out the most important issue of the day, and these elders also know that this is the problem they should find a way to solve, and the Second Elder said busily: " What the Great Elder said is that this young man is too mysterious, and the intelligence shows that he is a descendant of the Ye family, and he came to our Xiao family to settle accounts in order to avenge his family, but at the beginning, his strength was very weak, and he was not yet in the Star Emperor Realm, but in just over a year, he had already reached the level of a sage, and the problem was really a little puzzling, I always thought that there must be a powerful master around him who was helping him, so that his strength could break through so quickly. β
Xiao Ling's words are not bad at all, he is worthy of being a military advisor, Ye Qingyan does have a powerful master by his side, but they didn't expect that his master was just a soul.
Third Elder Xiao Wucheng also said: "I also think that what the Second Elder said is right, he can't improve so quickly with the strength of one person, and every time he takes action against our Xiao family, it will have a great impact, you should know that he burned Xiao Gan's mansion and robbed our Xiao family's money, which one is not a big deal, which one is something that an ordinary person can do, so I think we must pay great attention to him, not only to pay attention to him, but also to treat him as a very big threat to our Xiao family." β
Xiao Ling said again: "I think we are going to take action, we can't let a few young masters compete with him alone, his strength has threatened our Xiao family, I am afraid it will be difficult to take him with the strength of a few young masters, on the contrary, they are still embarrassed by him, and now there is infighting, so the reason why Ye Tong saved Xiao Zihong is most likely to let him fight with Xiao Fei, in that case, there will be turmoil in the Xiao family, which is exactly the result he wants." β
Xiao Wenfeng said: "Then how are we going to deal with this Ye Tong, his strength is already equal to the strength of several young masters, I am afraid it will be difficult to subdue him by sending ordinary people, and it must be a very strong master." β
"I think to take down that kid, I'm afraid one of our elders
It's time to get out of the horse. Xiao Ling said.
Xiao Ling's words made the other elders have some ideas, if this is the case, it must be a few of them who come out, of course, it is not that they are worried that they will not be able to arrest Ye Qingyan, but they feel that it is a bit unreasonable to let the people of the Council of Elders arrest a young man.
Xiao Wucheng said: " I think it's still a little early for us to go out now, although the strength of that kid is already about the same as a few young masters, but we have a few young masters here, maybe we should let them go together to capture Ye Tong, and this opportunity should be very good for them, they all want to show in Ye Tong's matter, let themselves win glory in front of the patriarch, why don't we let a few young masters join forces to arrest Ye Tong, I think the patriarch will be very happy about this matter, he also wants to see the performance of several young masters. β
Xiao Wucheng's words were immediately recognized by the other elders, because in this case, they would not have to go out, and they would also be able to have certain restraints on several young masters, so that they would all behave well.
Xiao Wenfeng also smiled slightly: "I think the method of the three elders is reliable, we have four young masters, and it has exceeded a lot to deal with one Ye Tong, I think the patriarch will agree to this method, and he should be very happy to arrange it like this, several young masters have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, and no one will admit defeat, just taking advantage of this opportunity, the patriarch will also let them divide a high and low." β
Xiao Ling was a little worried: "This method is indeed a good way, but I am worried that these young masters are not in harmony and secretly fight with each other, just like Xiao Zihong and Xiao Fei now, they were so embarrassed by Ye Tong that they almost didn't get killed, if you want to let them go, you must discipline their behavior well, and don't let them do too out-of-the-ordinary things for the sake of fighting."
