Chapter 332: The Clan Elder Arrives and Makes a Choice
At this time, Wen Jinghao had already walked out of the ring with Wen Shuli, who was like a dead dog, and stopped straight in front of Wen Muzhi.
Yu Qinglan and one after the other, blocking all possible retreats of Wen Muzhi.
In this way, the people watching around don't need to think about it and already know that there must be a huge contradiction between these people that is difficult to resolve.
It was also at this time that someone in the crowd suddenly pointed at Wen Jinghao and Wen Muzhi and shouted, "Do you see that there are many similarities between the looks of these two people?" Could it be that this young girl is the daughter of the Holy Lord Wen in the mouth of the palace lord just now? ”
"Wouldn't it? Where are there so many coincidences in this world, not to mention that we haven't just met the daughter of Holy Lord Wen? ”
"Why is it not possible? Could it be that you want to say that the palace master of the Cold Moon Palace is lying? ”
"No, no, no... I didn't say that, I'm just curious..."
Ever since someone noticed that Wen Jinghao's appearance was similar to Wen Muzhi, there were constant bursts of suspicion in the crowd of onlookers.
What made Wen Muzhi even more panicked was that more and more people began to believe that Wen Jinghao was his daughter, the biological daughter who was personally abandoned by Yu Qinglan in his mouth.
Some people believe it, and naturally some people doubt Wen Jinghao's true identity, and they are unwilling to easily believe what Yu Qinglan said.
But those who didn't believe and believed didn't dare to go directly to Wen Muzhi or Wen Jinghao in front of Yu Qinglan to confront him, and in the end they could only close their mouths and wait quietly for the follow-up development of things.
As for Wen Jinghao, who had already walked in front of Wen Muzhi with the half-dead Wen Shuli, his expression was calm, and he said in a more cold tone to the man in front of him, who might not be forgotten until death: "Wen Muzhi, do you remember what you did at the beginning? Do you remember my name? ”
"Of course I remember, you are my own daughter Wen Muzhi, how could I forget my daughter's name."
Wen Muzhi didn't expect Wen Jinghao to really dare to question himself directly in front of everyone, knowing that there was nowhere to escape, and there was no way to change the topic, he could only answer a question that was not much risk.
But Wen Jinghao didn't seem to have any intention of letting him go.
I saw Wen Jinghao step on Wen Shuli's stomach, causing Wen Shuli to keep screaming in pain, and at the same time, he said to an old man in gray robe in the crowd: "Great Elder Wen Changli, since our Holy Lord Wen is unwilling to answer my question, then it is better for you to answer my question, I think with your identity and status as a great elder, no one should stand up to refute what you said, right?" ”
Originally.
The gray-robed old man who stood in the crowd and watched the entire ring competition was none other than the great elder of the Tianlan Holy Land, Wen Changli, who had met Cao Chuan and others in the Dingsheng Auction House before.
Although Wen Changli, who was pointed out by Wen Jinghao, was a little surprised, he immediately ignored Wen Muzhi's holy lord's eye signal, walked out of the crowd directly and came to everyone, and bowed his head slightly to Wen Jinghao under Wen Muzhi's gaze.
It's like a subordinate.
Such a move directly ignited the atmosphere of the scene.
After all, Wen Changli was a genuine Great Elder of the Tianlan Holy Land, and he also had a pivotal position and power in the Wen family.
It can be said that most of the time, Wen Changli's attitude represents the attitude of the entire Tianlan Holy Land.
But now he, the Great Elder, bowed his head to a young woman who no one knew, and put on a subordinate posture.
"Could it be that ... What Palace Lord Yu just said is true? Is this woman really the saintess of the Tianlan Holy Land back then? ”
"I know him, he is really the Great Elder of the Tianlan Holy Land, there will be no mistake!"
The sound of everyone's discussion reached Wen Changli's ears.
Wen Changli just showed a gentle smile, then turned around, faced the ruthlessness on Wen Muzhi's face, and said bluntly: "According to the rules of the Tianlan Holy Land and the Wen family, I, Wen Changli, as a great elder, have the right to speak the truth. ”
"So that's what I'm going to say."
"Everyone!"
Turning around, he stretched out his hand to point at Wen Jinghao, and then pointed at Wen Muzhi, Wen Changli said loudly: "This young girl is the mouth of the palace master of the Cold Moon Palace, the former saintess who was abandoned by the Holy Lord and sent people to hunt down and kill, her name is Wen Jinghao. ”
"I'm sure many people still remember this name."
As soon as I heard the name of the young girl who showed her amazing strength in the ring just now, it was Wen Jinghao.
Not only the guests who came to participate in the banquet, but even some disciples of the Tianlan Holy Land couldn't help but exclaim.
They all suddenly realized, and then they remembered that the holy woman of Tianlan Holy Land was indeed called this name.
It's just that I don't know when it started, and the name Wen Jinghao suddenly disappeared.
In its place is today's Wen Shuli.
on this.
Wen Muzhi also stood up and explained that it was his own saintess Wen Jinghao because she encountered an unpredictable accident during an outing experience, which caused her whereabouts to disappear and unknown, and even the Tianlan Holy Land couldn't find any clues even if she searched with all her might.
Over time, the Tianlan Holy Land gave up the search, and everyone who heard the news gradually forgot about Wen Jinghao and her name.
Even Wen Muzhi himself felt that the time had come, and began to push Wen Shuli to the position of a saint.
Anyway, whether he is the holy lord or the head of the family, who will be the saint can decide for himself.
What's more, there was indeed no better candidate at that time, so everyone in Tianlan Holy Land had no choice but to follow Wen Muzhi's meaning and smoothly let Wen Shuli sit in the position of a saint.
Only the Great Elder Wen Changli has always been dissatisfied with Wen Shuli, who has a bad character and does not have any cultivation talent, and has always remembered Wen Jinghao's name, hoping that Wen Jinghao will be able to return to the Tianlan Holy Land one day.
Later, he finally met the saintess who had been missing for I don't know how many years at the Dingsheng Auction House, where did Wen Changli still care that he was disobeying his own holy lord, and stood up directly to protect the saintess recognized in his heart.
Today, the opportunity is here.
Wen Changli wanted to grasp it.
So after introducing Wen Jinghao, Wen Changli directly opened his mouth and said to Wen Muzhi: "Holy Lord, as a Great Elder, I am qualified to raise objections to your Holy Lord's position, and I can use this to let the clan elders intervene in it, so as to choose a better Holy Lord for the Tianlan Holy Land." ”
"You don't have to rush to refute me, I only care about the future of the Holy Land."
"Holy Lord, please think about it."
After speaking, Wen Changli walked to Wen Jinghao's side and whispered: "Holy Maiden, don't worry, I have already informed the clan elders when I learned that you are coming to the banquet, presumably the clan elders will come to make decisions for you immediately." ”
The surviving elders of the Wen family have existed since ancient times, and they are the last hole cards of the family, and they are also the defenders of the family rules and the order of the Holy Land.
They have rights far beyond the Holy Lord, and they decide the appointment and dismissal of the Holy Lord.
Therefore, after learning that Wen Jinghao would definitely participate in today's birthday banquet, Wen Changli returned to the family as soon as possible to ask to see the clan elders, and told the clan elders the truth about the fact that he had met the saint Wen Jinghao outside.
But in fact, at the beginning, the clan elders didn't think that there was any need for a wandering saint to return to the clan, and even felt that Wen Jinghao should be driven away, after all, Wen Muzhi was the current Holy Lord, and they didn't want to interfere too much with the Holy Lord's choice.
Seeing this, Wen Changli immediately carefully described Wen Jinghao's cultivation realm and the power he observed Wen Jinghao.
In addition, now Wen Jinghao has become a person from the Cold Moon Palace, and has a great relationship with Yu Qinglan, the palace master of the Cold Moon Palace.
So when they heard this, the attitude of the clan elders immediately changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and they all said that they would maintain the status of a gentle and good saint.
Of course, in this process, Cao Chuan, who had already had a relationship with Wen Jinghao, and it could be said that raw rice was cooked and cooked rice, could not escape the questions of the clan elders.
When they knew that Cao Chuan's cultivation talent was stronger than that of his holy daughter, and that he and Yu Qinglan, the palace master of the Cold Moon Palace, were husband and wife, the clan elders no longer asked, but only asked when Wen Changli would see Wen Jinghao.
Among them, the impulsive clan elder was even more gearing up and saying that he wanted to seek justice for Wen Jinghao.
Wen Changli stopped them and spoke his mind.
Originally.
Wen Changli wanted the clan elders to wait quietly until the birthday banquet began, and then come forward to help after Wen Jinghao appeared.
The clan elders agreed.
I've been waiting until now.
When Wen Jinghao began to face Wen Muzhi directly, and used words to make Wen Muzhi speechless, and after being speechless, Wen Changli secretly transmitted the message to the clan elders to come to the banquet hall immediately.
As soon as the clan elders heard that Wen Jinghao had appeared, they immediately rushed from the ancestral land as fast as they could.
Wait until Wen Changli explained clearly to Wen Jinghao, and the moment the words just fell.
There was already a clan elder dressed in a white robe, and even his waist-length beard was gray, and he appeared in front of Wen Jinghao.
I saw him look up and down for a while, and then he nodded and said with relief: "Hmm... Sure enough, she looks exactly the same as the girl in Jinshu, and her cultivation talent and character are also first-class, which is enough to be called excellent. ”
Then an old man dressed in a red robe with a long sword hanging from his waist came and followed the former's example, saying, "Yes, very good, it is indeed the most talented one in the history of my Tianlan Holy Land and the Wen family, and he is qualified to become the saint of Tianlan Holy Land and the heir of the Wen family." ”
The third one who arrived was an old man in black who was still on crutches.
The old man walked up to Wen Jinghao tremblingly, opened his cloudy eyes and looked at them, and then smiled.
But he didn't speak.
Instead, the two old men who arrived first beside him said in place of him and Wen Jinghao: "This is your ancestor, the oldest clan elder in the family today, what he just meant was that he was very satisfied with you, thinking that you could return to the family and take the position of the holy maiden, as well as the position of the future head of the family." ”
"How? Girl, do you want to think about it? ”
Perhaps because they were afraid that Wen Jinghao would be frightened by themselves, the clan elders who rushed over still gave Wen Jinghao a choice.
Let her choose for herself whether she wants to stay or not.
Wen Jinghao wanted to refuse directly.
But when he saw Yu Qinglan and Cao Chuan, his heart was shaken for a while, and in the end, he couldn't make a choice immediately, but said to the three clan elders in front of him: "If Jing Hao has a few conditions that the clan elders need to agree to, I wonder if the clan elders will dare to leave Jing Hao directly?" ”
She was also gambling that her talent would make the elders agree to her request.
Fortunately, the clan elders did agree.
They have to give their terms quietly.
Wen Jinghao no longer hid it, and said bluntly, "My first request is to let Wen Muzhi leave the position of the Holy Lord, and no longer have the status and any power of the Wen family's family head, and demote him to an ordinary disciple." ”
"We can grant you this request."
The clan elders did not hesitate, and in order to retain Wen Jinghao, they directly agreed.
"Okay."
"The second request." A hint of surprise flashed in Wen Jinghao's eyes, and then she continued: "I ask the family to erect a monument for my mother, and let Wen Muzhi atone for his sins for a hundred years in front of his mother's monument. ”
"We can also grant you this request."
"If the clan elders can really agree to these two conditions and fulfill them truthfully, then I can stay."
Wen Jinghao didn't mention any other conditions, so she quietly looked at Wen Muzhi, whose face was getting more and more ugly.
She knew very well that Wen Muzhi was a greedy person who coveted wealth and power, so only by doing so could she influence him to the greatest extent.
Only when she saw Wen Muzhi's extremely painful expression could she feel that the suffering she had suffered back then was over.
The decision made by the elders of the clan.
Wen Muzhi did not intend to comply.
He immediately walked up to Wen Jinghao and asked, "Jinghao! I'm your real father! Are you sure you want to do this to your father? Aren't you afraid that what you did today will make you laugh at by all people? ”
"A person who is unwilling to let go of her own biological father, do you think what will happen to her after she sits on the throne of the head of the family or the holy lord?"
"The reputation of the Tianlan Holy Land will be ruined by you by then!"
"Of course, if you're willing to revoke those two conditions, I can act as if nothing happened."
After speaking, Wen Muzhi looked at Wen Jinghao with all kinds of aggrieved eyes.
It's a pity that Wen Jinghao is unmoved by this.
She remembered Wen Muzhi's actions clearly.
She only had hatred for Wen Muzhi in her heart, and she immediately turned her head and said to the clan elders: "Please also ask the clan elders to complete my conditions as quickly as possible, I will only give the Holy Land three days." ”
"If I can't do it within three days, I will have nothing to do with the Tianlan Holy Land if I am quiet."
"I think the clan elders should make the right choice."
