The sun is shining, the wind is smooth, and the surroundings are full of vitality, which can't help but add a little warmth to this early spring.

Tianyuan Continent, Qingtian Town, Du Family.

Everywhere is dressed in red and hung with colors, beaming with joy, everyone is smiling on their faces, and the joy is unobstructed.

However, compared to the outside, the inside of the Du family's meeting hall looked extremely serious, and the atmosphere was stiff.

The solemn hall was full of people, but none of them spoke.

And above the high hall, next to an old man with white hair and white beard, stood a young boy, this boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with sallow skin and medium build, and the only thing that attracted attention was his clear and agile eyes, as if he could speak.

Because everyone was sitting, only the boy was standing, so it stood out.

However, this boy is not surnamed Du, but surnamed Ye, who is the son of the only daughter of Du Rutian, the head of the Du family, and his only grandson, Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan is fifteen years old this year, according to the regulations in the family, sixteen years old is the period for entering the family for internal refining, once he does not obtain the qualification for internal refining, he can only divide into the family to take care of business, as for cultivation...... That's empty talk.

On the Tian Yuan Continent, where cultivation is supreme, if you can't cultivate, then you are the lowest first-class person, no matter how powerful you are, you will eventually face birth, old age, sickness and death, and you will not be able to live forever.

Cultivation, on the Tian Yuan Continent, is the only pursuit!

It's just that Ye Xuan didn't know all this.

In fact, if the strength of the Du family is less than the fifth-order martial spirit, they are not qualified to enter the council hall at all, this is an iron law inherited by the Du family for hundreds of years, and no one can violate it.

It's just that today's Ye Xuan suddenly appeared in the hall, which naturally caused a lot of roar.

At this time, standing at the door, I saw that there were already more than 30 people sitting in the meeting hall, and these people all looked at Ye Xuan in unison, and the surprise was self-evident.

"Xiao Xuan, come here!"

Du Rutian didn't pay attention to the strange eyes of the others at all, and called Ye Xuan loudly, Ye Xuan didn't know what Du Rutian wanted to do, but he still walked slowly to Du Rutian.

"Patriarch, you are ......"

When Ye Xuan walked in front of Du Rutian and faced everyone, a middle-aged man sitting on the left spoke.

And this young elder Ye Xuan also knows that he is the protector of the Du family, the son of the great elder, named Du Chengnan, and he should be called uncle.

Now that his strength has reached the seventh order martial artist, after cultivating for twenty years, it is estimated that he will be able to advance to the realm of warriors! As for this, Ye Xuan did not know.

Martial artists are the most basic cultivators on the Tian Yuan Continent. Only when you have reached the realm of martial arts can you truly be regarded as a cultivator.

Obviously, Du Chengnan did not understand Ye Xuan's appearance.

"Bastard! The patriarch didn't speak, what are you talking about! Shut up!"

The Great Elder on the side suddenly shouted, but it was Du Chengnan who quickly shut up.

The Great Elder is Du Rutian's eldest brother, named Du Batian, the name is indeed domineering, but it's a pity that this person is too unscrupulous, the original successor of the Du family patriarch was inherited by him, but unfortunately this is a shijie who won by force after all, and finally lost to Du Rutian in the family competition, and only became the Great Elder from then on.

Immediately, the Great Elder said to Du Rutian with a smile on his face: "What is the intention of the unknown patriarch to summon everyone here this time, and why is Ye Xuan here?"

Du Rutian glanced at the Great Elder, Du Rutian knows this big brother very well, don't look at him just scolded Du Chengnan, it was just for show.

In fact, what Du Chengnan wanted to say and what he said were exactly the same thing, and the scheming Du Rutian naturally understood this.

So Du Rutian said calmly: "Great Elder, don't worry, I will announce something to you later." ”

After speaking, Du Rutian moved his gaze to the hall, looked around, and after seeing that everyone had come, he immediately stood up, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Elite disciples of the Du family, I specially gathered everyone today, I just want to announce one thing!"

"One thing? What could it be? Could it be that you enter the trial room in advance to cultivate?"

"I look at the patriarch's appearance, it's more like something big has happened, should there be any changes in the fight with the Liang family?"

"Well, I think it looks like, I hope it will be a change in haode, this Liang family has been very arrogant in recent years!"

......

Before Du Rutian finished speaking, the hall became agitated, and you and I said a word, and the discussion was endless.

"I have decided to return the Gathering Spirit Pill to Ye Xuan!"

"What?!"

Hearing Du Rutian's words, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, staring at Ye Xuan who was standing beside Du Rutian in astonishment, but they were puzzled in their hearts.

Please note that Du Rutian used to give back, not give, which seems to have some deep meaning.

"Patriarch!

Suddenly, a young man in a blue robe immediately stood up in the hall and shouted loudly, with a look of disgruntle.

This person is none other than the grandson of the Great Elder, Du Chengnan's son, and Ye Xuan's cousin Du Hai.

"The patriarch's move is unfair, I strongly oppose taking the Gathering Spirit Pill to Ye Xuan!"

Du Hai said emphatically again, with a very tough attitude.

Du Rutian frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said: "Du Hai, didn't you hear what I said? It's to return the Gathering Spirit Pill to Ye Xuan! This Gathering Spirit Pill was refined by Ye Xuan's father after killing the Giant Spirit Tiger Queen alone, do you want to object?"

Du Rutian seemed to be a little unhappy, although this Du Hai is considered a young generation of talent in the family, he is only eighteen years old now, and he is already an eighth-order martial artist, I am afraid that in a few years, he will be able to reach the realm of martial artists, and when the time comes, there will be one more young martial artist in the entire Du family, and it can be said that the future is limitless!

But even so, in the face of Du Hai's opposition, Du Rutian was not polite at all, obviously in his heart, Ye Xuan was the most important!

"Patriarch! Everything is one thing! Although this Gathering Spirit Pill was obtained by his father, since it was handed over to the Du family, it was the common property of the Du family, how could it be given to a person like Ye Xuan who was not able to cultivate at all? Besides, his father had lived in the Du family for so long, and it was only natural for him to contribute a liliang to the Du family, and now he gave the Gathering Spirit Pill to Ye Xuan, wouldn't it have raised their Ye family for so long in vain?"

Du Hai was not afraid of Du Rutian at all, and he spoke bluntly in front of so many people, and he said it in front of him, and everyone on the side nodded in agreement.

After all, so many years have passed, and all of a sudden, the treasure in the family is going to be given away, and the object is still an idler who is useless to the family, not to mention that the great elder's family has always been dissatisfied with Du Rutian, and now the other Du family children present also expressed strong opposition.

"Bastard, where is your turn to talk!"

Du Rutian suddenly became angry, and he shouted loudly, and the entire conference hall was also shocked.

"Patriarch! Even if you kill me, I still say so, Ye Xuan, why is he? He is simply an idler, a useless person, this is a well-known fact in the family! Giving him the Gathering Spirit Pill is completely ruining the treasure, if the patriarch still insists on going his own way, I think this Du family will immediately change greatly!"

The more Du Hai spoke, the more he said, the more reasonable he became, completely ignoring Du Rutian's anger, and whether it was Du Batian or Du Chengnan on the side, they didn't seem to have any intention of stopping it.

Now he even threatened Du Rutian with a big change in the family, thinking that this Du Hai is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. However, daring to be in the conference hall, in front of so many people, their faces did not change their colors and their hearts did not beat, and they rightly contradicted Du Rutian, it seems that there must be someone behind them to support them.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but look at the Great Elder on the side, but saw that the Great Elder hadn't spoken all the time, just the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time, and his face seemed to be smiling, Ye Xuan already knew the root of all this.

The Great Elder has always been at odds with his own guild, and after his grandfather became the patriarch, the Great Elder became even more dissatisfied with his grandfather, and all along, the Great Elder thought that he lost to his grandfather because his grandfather played tricks. Therefore, in the days that followed, although on the surface, the great elder still echoed his grandfather's words, but secretly he was often making small moves, the purpose was to make his grandfather ugly in front of others, so as to establish his prestige from the side, and one day, he would become the patriarch himself.

Ye Xuan naturally knew all of this, and he saw it all in his eyes. It's just that Du Rutian wants to take care of his family affection and let the Du family be harmonious, so Du Rutian doesn't take it to heart at all.

However, this time, the Great Elder obviously went a little too far, and Du Rutian, who looked like a good old man, couldn't bear it anymore at the moment.

"Du Batian! How did you teach your grandson? Didn't you even teach him basic etiquette, righteousness and shame?"

Du Rutian glared at Du Batian coldly, and he didn't care if you were a big brother or not, he just yelled at him.

In fact, it was clearly referring to Sang scolding Huai, and Du Rutian naturally knew that Du Batian made all this.

"Patriarch! Don't be so embarrassed and angry, whether my grandson teaches well or not depends on what others think, but I don't think my grandson has said anything wrong! In fact, it is really not cost-effective for you to give the Gathering Spirit Pill to a useless person, you can't be so selfish as the patriarch, you should think about the overall situation! Besides, as Xiao Hai said, many years have passed, Ye Feng did have merit back then, but the Du family did not neglect him! Everything is one thing, and it can't be mixed up! As the patriarch of the family, you should think about the interests of the family!"

Du Batian said slowly, he couldn't tell if he was angry at all, but he didn't smile at all, and the tone of his speech was also weird, which made people feel harsh when they heard it.

"I'll say it again! I'm the patriarch, I'll do whatever I say! I said to give this Gathering Spirit Pill to Ye Xuan, and I will give it to Ye Xuan, no one can stop it!"

Du Rutian suddenly shouted, only to see that his eyes were hideous and faintly filled with a murderous aura, and his eyebrows were even more wrinkled into a word, as if there were signs of trouble.

"No! If you must insist on going your own way! Then you will give up the position of patriarch! Our elders will never allow anyone to abuse their power and do something that harms the interests of the family!"

Du Batian immediately became tough, his fists clenched, like a jiashi who was with him to the end!

"Du Batian! Don't threaten me with family interests! Don't think I don't know, do you just want to be the patriarch of the family? Let me tell you, don't think about it! In order to become the patriarch of the family, you actually colluded with the Liang family, and you are embarrassed to make a big fuss here? Do you want to fight? If you want to fight, then I will accompany you to the end!"

After speaking, Du Rutian also clenched his fists, and the heart of martial arts burst out with a terrifying coercion, and the relatively weak disciples in the hall felt this depression one after another, and suddenly turned pale and could not breathe.

However, Ye Xuan, an ordinary person who has no strength at all, has no impact at all.

Hearing that the two of them have been arguing with the Great Elder for so long, and they are about to make a move, Ye Xuan's heart is not good, I am afraid that a big war will really start if it goes on like this, and then this meeting hall will also become a competition field!

Du Rutian is such a calm and calm person, and he even openly wants to make a move with Du Batian, obviously this Du Batian is too aggressive!

Grandpa has done so many things for himself, Ye Xuan's heart is already very grateful, and now he has to turn his face with his eldest brother for himself, which can't help but make Ye Xuan feel guilty for a while.

In the final analysis, he is still a waste, and he can't cultivate at all, rather than wasting the so-called Gathering Spirit Pill, but it's better to be an ordinary person, at least he can add some troubles to his grandfather.

"Enough!"

Ye Xuan suddenly walked between Du Rutian and Du Batian, and shouted at Du Batian loudly, which immediately made Du Batian stunned for a moment, and the whole person closed his mouth inexplicably.

"Ye Xuan, what kind of attitude do you have, how dare you be so rude to my grandfather?!"

Du Hai in the audience was unhappy, and immediately pointed at Ye Xuan's nose and shouted.

I don't dare to talk to my grandfather like this, you dare to be a waste idler, you are really impatient?

"Grandpa, don't say anything more, I won't ask for this Gathering Spirit Pill, I believe that even if my father is here, he will not accept it. ”

Immediately, Ye Xuan turned around, slowed down his tone, and said to Du Rutian.

"Xiao Xuan, if you don't want this Gathering Spirit Pill, it will be difficult for you to have the qualifications to enter the internal refining after a year! Seventh-Order Martial Qi, even if you are a genius in the family, you can't guarantee that you can leap to the Seventh-Order Martial Qi within a year! Are you willing to be an ordinary person and not pursue immortality?"

In the Tian Yuan Continent, if you can't cultivate, you can only be an ordinary mortal, and once you are just an ordinary mortal, you will be abandoned by your family, abandoned by all cultivators, and become the most despicable category.

"Grandpa, although I Ye Xuan don't know that Weishenme can't cultivate, but I have to believe that I am Ye Feng's son, since my father can make the entire Qingtian Town proud of him, then one day I, Ye Xuan, can also do it!

A wave of arrogance surged up instantly, and Ye Xuan only felt a burst of blood gushing all over his body, as if he had never spoken so imposingly since he had grown so big.

"Hehe, don't you want to be here to pretend, maybe after turning around, you quietly asked the patriarch to go. What else can a person like you do if he doesn't rely on the Gathering Elixir?"

Du Hai smiled contemptuously, but he really looked at him left and right.

He doesn't think that Ye Xuan can really be so backbone, the so-called one set of people in front of the people, one set of people in the back, who can't act? When the time comes, the character will be saved, and the cheapness will be gained, maybe everyone will still be kept in the dark!

"Du Hai! let me tell you, this Gathering Spirit Pill, Lao Tzu is not rare at all, and I won't want it if I give it to me! You people from the Du family listen to me well, I, Ye Xuan, swear here, if I can't obtain the qualification of internal refining after a year with my own efforts, I, Ye Xuan, will leave the Du family from now on and never come back!"
