Chapter 54: Tracing the Cause
The Elders would frequently ask questions, and the crowd would quickly solve them. Most of them didn't have much of a problem, but at the last moment of the meeting, a proposal from the second elder lowered the originally lively atmosphere of the venue to a freezing point.
"Elders, I plan to ask Su Xiaobai to temporarily take my place as the Great Elder of the Demon Building, and I would like to ask everyone to discuss it."
As soon as these words came out, the elders of the Demon Building who were sitting immediately fell silent and silent.
However, someone soon reacted and asked, "Second Elder, is your proposal serious?" β
"That's nature!" The second elder replied calmly, not like an impulsive remark.
"Huh?? Second Elder, this is a bit unruly, isn't it? The Great Elder is still in retreat, isn't he- why are you- cough!! That's not good??? Another elder with long red hair who was sitting under Mo Yue suddenly stood up and spoke angrily.
When Solhan heard this, it was his immediate boss, the Fourth Elder Mo Lihong, who was speaking.
The second elder saw that the fourth elder, who was not very vocal at all, reacted so much this time, and he was still very emotional. He spoke again: "Fourth Elder, you should be calm for a while, and I will listen to everyone's opinions before I explain to you." β
With that, he turned his gaze to the Third Elder again, wanting to see what she meant.
However, this time, the three elders did not speak, but only paused the cane in their hands on the ground next to the chair for three times, and then stopped moving.
The second elder understood what the third elder meant, and she neither approved nor opposed, which could be regarded as abstention.
"Thisβ" The Second Elder smiled bitterly in his heart.
"Elder Changfeng, what do you mean? Do you agree, or disagree? The second elder looked at the most talkable Changfeng.
"Second Elder, I, I? I am in favor of Mr. Su taking the position of the Great Elder temporarily, but I have two conditions, if Mr. Su agrees, I will fully support him in taking over the duties of the Great Elder. This is also the common idea of Qiu Yue and me. β
Hearing the second elder ask him, Elder Changfeng glanced at Elder Qiu Yue before standing up and saying something.
"Hmmm! Elder Qiu Yue, is it? The Second Elder's gaze turned to Elder Qiu Yue.
Qiu Yue glanced at Changfeng with disgusted eyes, but Changfeng didn't care, and encouraged Qiu Yue to talk with his eyes.
"Exactly, we feel that Mr. Su Xiaobai must have two conditions to become this generation elder: first, catch the old turtle who injured the great elder and bring it back to the headquarters within a time limit of three days; 2. After the Great Elder has completed his retreat and has left the retreat, this position must be vacated. This has to make a covenant, if the second elder and Mr. Su Xiaobai agree, we will support it! β
In desperation, Qiu Yue had no choice but to say the conditions that Changfeng had just told him.
"Hmmm! This is good! If so, I agree too! The Fourth Elder Mo Lihong also spoke again.
As soon as the second elder saw this situation, he turned his eyes to Su Xiaobai, wanting to hear his thoughts.
Seeing that the second elder looked at him, Su Xiaobai nodded to him, then stood up and bowed to everyone. Then he spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, I, Su Xiaobai, didn't expect to come here, and I didn't think about what I wanted to do. It can be regarded as having this fate with the Demon Building. Speaking of this, Su Xiaobai paused.
"Mr. Su! This is also your blessing, and the old man is also discerning. β
Seeing that Su Xiaobai's voice paused slightly, Mo Yue lost no time in interjecting on the side.
When the second elder saw that it was Mo Yue beside him, he said a word of icing on the cake in time, and he couldn't help but appreciate Mo Yue again.
Hearing Mo Yue make up a sentence for his god like a needle, Su Xiaobai was happy in his heart, but he continued to say quietly on his face: "What Mo Yue said is yes, I have to thank the Holy Venerable for this value of his old man, and I have to do something to repay his old man." And the Great Elder I have never met, I also want to respect it. Therefore, I have agreed to all the conditions you have said, and I will certainly fulfill them, and I will make a covenant! β
"Good! Mr. Su Xiaobai is really courageous and responsible, and I support you with Mo Lihong! β
Seeing Su Xiaobai's sincere words and correct attitude, the fourth elder Mo Lihong resolutely stood up and said.
Subsequently, the two elders Changfeng and Qiu Yue also expressed their support for Su Xiaobai.
Seeing this, the rest of the elders also expressed their attitudes. There were thirteen elders who supported it, one elder abstained, one elder went into retreat, and two elders disapproved.
In the end, the second elder Xu Zhaoxiang made a final decision and agreed on the content of the covenant with Su Xiaobai, only after Su Xiaobai took down the enemy of the Great Elder, he would be the acting Great Elder of the Demon Building.
After the meeting, the four elders, Mo Lihong, made a special trip to find Solhan and gave him detailed instructions.
It turned out that he wanted Solhan to provide some necessary help to Su Xiaobai.
In the Demon Building, the relationship between the fourth elder and the great elder was the most irreversible, so when he heard that Su Xiaobai promised to get rid of the old turtle, he decisively chose to support Su Xiaobai.
"Solhan, what is that old turtle, do you know his details?" When Su Xiaobai saw Solhan coming to find him, he took the initiative to ask about the old turtle.
"Mr. Su, the old turtle called himself the turtle old monster, he used to haunt the Luo Island in the southeast of the Demon Realm, the terrain is dangerous, and the trace is ethereal, it is very difficult to find, after the Great Elder was injured, the elders have gone to the Sea of the Law Xiang several times, but they did not even find the shadow of the Luo Island, and they returned in vain. Therefore, Mr. Su, Shu Erhan bluntly said, this matter is extremely difficult. Solhan told Su Xiaobai the details of the turtle, and worried about Su Xiaobai at the end.
"Solhan, of course, I know that this condition is not easy to achieve, but, then then if it is easier, then it is my turn to take care of it? Besides, since I, Su Xiaobai, have already agreed, I must make an ugly man. It's also about the face of the Venerable. Su Xiaobai's loud words also brought up the pride in Solhan's heart.
"Mr. Su, Er Han is willing to go with you to the Fa Xianghai, if you can't find the old turtle, I won't go back to this evil demon building." Solhan swore to Su Xiaobai with determination.
"Thisβthat's labor!" When Su Xiaobai heard Solhan's words, he also thanked him.
"Mr. Su, will I go with you in the canopy?" Seeing the excitement of the two of them on the side, Tianpeng also wanted to get together.
"Good! You'll have to do some hard work. Su Xiaobai pretended to be relaxed and teased the canopy.
Yang Mian was beside him, but he kept smiling and silent.
In the end, Su Xiaobai only took Solhan, Tianpeng and Yang Mian to Faxianghai together. Mo Yue, Yu Song, Shuai Dog, and White Wolf all left at the headquarters of the Evil Demon Building in Moye Mountain.
Early the next morning, Su Xiaobai and the others sat on a flying elephant summoned from the end of the world of ten thousand beasts from the canopy, and galloped towards the southeast of the demon world.
Looking at the sea in front of him, Su Xiaobai did not have the romantic tone of "facing the sea, spring flowers blooming", because time was quite urgent.
Before he came, he negotiated with the elders again, and extended the time limit to seven days, although it was a few more days, but because the old turtle and the island were ethereal, it would take some time to find them.
"Su Xiaobai, you see there's a beautiful island over there, it can drift, it can move!" Yang Mian saw a small island moving parallel to the water in the distance, so he curiously pulled Su Xiaobai to watch.
Su Xiaobai looked in the direction of Yang Mian's finger, and sure enough, it was a moving island, about fifty or sixty miles away from his position, and the island was full of flowers, looking like a peach blossom island.
"Let's take a look." Su Xiaobai said to Tianpeng.
Listening to the canopy of the dragon under them, everyone went to the top of the island like a gust of wind, and looked down, and sure enough, there were large peach trees, blooming pink and white peach blossoms. Floating on the surface of the sea, it is very beautiful.
"Shall we go down and have a look?" Yang Mian asked.
"Canopy, let the dragon go down to the shore of the island." Su Xiaobai and Tianpeng said.
The canopy knocked on the dragon's head, and the dragon understood, so it fell into the water and stopped on the shore of the island.
Several people went ashore, and the canopy brought the dragon into the world of ten thousand beasts.
The island is not very large, and a few people quickly walked around the island, and found nothing but peach trees all over the island.
Su Xiaobai was a little disappointed.
However, Yang Mian was very happy, this island made her feel very affectionate, and reminded her hometown of Peach Blossom Town, which is also full of peach blossoms.
"Hehehe, Su Xiaobai, don't be sad, go, go to the peach forest to see the peach blossoms, smell the peach blossoms, and the mood will naturally be better."
Yang Mian saw Su Xiaobai squatting on the ground with a sullen face, knowing that he was unhappy, so he deliberately diverted his attention and enlightened him.
"Ouch, you've been watching here for half an hour, haven't you seen enough?"
Su Xiaobai replied with a smile, and his mood was not high.
On the side, Canopy and Solham were also chatting.
"Solhan, you say, is this reliable?" Canopy asked Solhan, slightly confused.
"It should be the starting point." Solhan replied uncertainly.
"Then let's try it."
"Okay, but I still need your dragon to help."
"Okay! I called it out. β
Immediately after that, the dragon reappeared, holding its head high and waiting for the canopy's instructions.
Canopy whispered to the dragon, and then asked Solhan to hand a small cloth bag to the dragon.
After that, the dragon flew up, grabbed the small cloth bag, circled the island, sometimes went underwater, sometimes floated to the surface, and was very busy.
"What is this?"
Su Xiaobai was so surprised that when he saw the dragon's set of operations, he was very puzzled, so he asked Tianpeng.
"Mr. Su, this is an idea that Solhan came up with, saying that he asked Jiaolong to scatter a bag of turtle sand around the island. If the turtle monster is around here, it will come to us for taste, and it will save us the trouble of looking for it. β
Tianpeng stared at the place where the dragon had been, and explained to Su Xiaobai.
After a while, the dragon returned, and with the contents of the small cloth bag, it had scattered all around the island.
Su Xiaobai didn't dare to hope much when he heard this unreliable method, but he hoped that a miracle would happen, and thought in his heart, "Old turtle, you should appear earlier." β
