253. Shocked four
The ceremony is about to begin, and the merchant uncle urges his subordinates to find Shang Yu.
But as soon as he turned his head, he saw that Shang Yu was already dressed and standing quietly behind the crowd.
Shang Yu just stood quietly, clearly wearing bright clothes, but he only felt cold, eerie cold.
Soon, the merchant uncle threw this strange feeling out of his mind and beckoned to Shang Yu.
"Yu'er, come here."
The altar had been set up, and in the middle of the hall the crowd had finally fallen silent.
The merchant uncle raised his voice and said: "Everyone, our merchants have always acted according to the rules, and an iron law continues to this day. ”
"Among the juniors of the merchants, the first to reach the realm of the Yuan Infant Stage directly became the head of the business."
"You also know that Xiao Shang Yu has been gifted since he was a child, and finally reached the realm of Yuan Infant before the age of thirty, so according to family tradition, he should accept the position of head of the family."
The words fell, and the applause in the hall was thunderous.
"Haha, congratulations!"
"Shang Yu Gongzi has grown up watching, has this kind of talent broken through to the Yuan Infant Stage now?"
"What a young and promising!"
Shang Yu was wearing a spiritual treasure that concealed his cultivation.
There are indeed many strong people in the field, although they can see the clues, but they will not say a word.
After all, the entire business is completely in the hands of the merchant uncle, even if Shang Yu does not break through now, no one will question the entire business.
For a while, the praise continued.
Shang Yu just stood quietly beside the merchant uncle, lowered his eyes, his posture was calm, and he responded to the guests who came to greet him from time to time, and he really looked like a personable talent.
Those daughters all secretly sent Qiu Bo to Shang Yu.
After some staggering, finally, the real ceremony began.
Almost all the merchants gathered.
In the ancestral hall of the merchants, several old men read the clan rules.
Shang Yu knelt on the futon, and the elders took out the patriarchal seal that had been passed down from generation to generation.
Under the gaze of everyone, the Great Elder took the final step and brought the account books and seals of the entire merchant.
"After Today, You Are ......"
However, before the sentence was finished, something happened abruptly.
A clear voice came from outside the door.
"Elders, why didn't you notify me of the merchant's succession?"
Everyone turned around in unison, but what caught their eyes was a handsome man in a brocade robe.
Someone in the crowd recognized him.
"This isn't the ...... The son of the fourth master of the merchant, Shang Ze? ”
"Didn't I hear he was dead? Why did you come back all of a sudden? ”
"Merchant...... What's going on? ”
"Actually, if you want to talk about the heir, only the son of the fourth master of the merchant is the most qualified, at the beginning, these three were all adopted by the old man."
"yes...... This should be the last bloodline of the merchant. ”
At the beginning, there was a great drought in the world, and the people were struggling to make a living, and many refugees poured into their cities.
The old man of the merchant was benevolent and kind, not to mention the opening of the shed to give porridge, and also adopted three children one after another.
Who would have thought ......
Many years have passed, and so much property of the old man is about to fall into the hands of these people with foreign surnames, which is sad and lamentable.
Shang Ze looked at the ancestral hall in front of him, his heart sank, and he entered with firm steps.
When several elders saw him return, they looked at each other and smiled, showing a relieved smile.
Here it is, it's good.
The merchant uncle suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and stepped forward with a smile.
"Ze'er, you're back! Missing for so long, uncle still thinks you are missing, and has not heard from you, where have you been? How are you doing now? ”
Shang Ze just smiled faintly and didn't pay attention to him, just turned to a few elders instead.
"Elders, as long as you cultivate to the Yuan Infant Stage, you can directly become the head of the merchant family, this matter is still counted, right?"
Seeing this, the merchant frowned and stepped forward.
"Yu'er has become the new head of the business, this matter is a foregone conclusion, don't make trouble."
Shang Ze swept a cold eye, and this cold look actually made the merchant uncle feel cold all over his body.
Damn it!
Sure enough, as the strong man said, after the secret technique of changing one's life against the sky was broken, all the spiritual power that Yu Er had cultivated before ran to Shang Ze.
The current Shang Ze should also be in the Jindan period.
At this point, the merchant's eyes flashed with a touch of murderous intent.
It's just the Jindan period, he can find a few powerhouses in the god transformation stage and kill him directly.
When Shang Ze heard this, he just looked at the elder with an unchanged face.
The Great Elder looked Shang Ze up and down with a kind smile, and then bowed his head.
"The ceremony is not yet completed, and Shang Yu is not the head of the family in the real sense, what? Do you have something to say? ”
Shang Ze bowed, "Since I can become the head of the merchant family when I cultivate to reach the Yuan Infant Stage, am I also qualified to compete?" ”
As he spoke, the spiritual power on his body spread out in all directions, and a strong sense of coercion spread, making everyone present chill for a while.
It's so strong!
The second elder's voice trembled a little, "You, your current cultivation is ......."
"Elders and grandfathers, the children are not talented, and they have just broken through to the Yuan Infant Stage."
For a time, it shocked the four.
"What! You've actually broken through the Yuan Baby! ”
"Shang Ze has been a cultivator since he was a child, and it is difficult to reach even the entry level, why did he suddenly ......"
"It can't be! He didn't have a spiritual root before, how could he cultivate to this level so quickly? ”
"Oh my God! How much has he been through on the outside? ”
Shang Ze's cold gaze slowly swept over the merchant.
This place has long been without his relatives.
In addition to the elders, the old servants, and the grandmothers...... Others, but since he was a child, he didn't give him a good look.
When he comes back this time, he wants to get back everything that belongs to him!
"Hahaha...... "The Great Elder laughed, "Of course you are qualified, since you have broken through the Yuan Infant Stage, it stands to reason that you can directly become the head of the merchant family." ”
The Great Elder waved his hand, "Come on, prepare for the patriarch handover ceremony." ”
Whether Shang Yu has reached the Yuan Infant Stage or not, he knows it clearly.
It's just that now the entire merchant has become the bag of the merchant uncle, and there is no other heir who can get his hands on it, so he can only turn a blind eye with a clear conscience.
Now I finally see Shang Ze appear, and Shang Ze is really up to standard, which is a surprise.
The merchant uncle stepped forward angrily to stop him, "Wait! Great Elder, are you trying to oppose me? ”
The Great Elder was not pretending, and said directly in a cold voice: "What is the situation of Shang Yu, you know best, now that there are more qualified people, I naturally know who I should choose." ”
"Shang Yu has not reached the Yuan Infant Stage at all!"
One sentence completely tore off the mask of the merchant uncle's disguise.
