After some discussion, most of the elders of the Wang family and the elders of the Keqing family in the hall supported the challenge of the Qinghe Tang family, but there were also individual voices that put forward different opinions.

And the most obvious and specific objections are the most senior elders of the Wang family, Elder Keqing Du.

Elder Du's cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Yuan Dynasty, and he can be regarded as having been cultivated by the Wang family all along, so for the Wang family, although Elder Du is only an elder guest, his sense of belonging is not much worse than that of ordinary children of the Wang family.

But after he raised a different opinion, many people were a little surprised, after all, this person has always been very low-key, and the head of the family does what he orders, and there has never been a time when he disagrees with the head of the family.

This time, everyone could see that the head of the Wang family had long been full of confidence to challenge the Qinghe Tang family, and the Tang family was indeed the weakest person in the twenty-sized family.

Therefore, Elder Du also made it clear at this time that the Tang family was by no means the best choice to challenge, and hoped that after the head of the family could be re-elected to the Li family, almost the vast majority of people, including the head of the Wang family, looked at Elder Du a little strangely.

"I don't know why Elder Du thinks that the Li family is more suitable for our Wang family's challenge than the Tang family?"

After a while, the head of the Wang family took the lead in breaking the silence and asked Elder Du thoughtfully.

"The head of the family, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the Tang family was once a prosperous large family, even if it fell to the bottom of the medium-sized family, it was not so easy to provoke, and there must have been a lot of hole cards left in the hand. ”

Elder Du couldn't explain a single flower, it was nothing more than that, no more.

Among the twenty medium-sized families today, it seems that the Tang family and the Li family are relatively weak, and these two families are also the most challenged in the challenge every hundred years.

Especially the Tang family.

It is naturally understandable that the Wang family wants to choose the Tang family as a challenge opponent, but Elder Du just feels that instead of choosing a Tang family that seems to be the weakest but can still hang at the bottom for thousands of years, it is better to choose a medium-sized family with a deep foundation of the Li family, which is not as good as the Tang family.

"Elder Du, who is easy to provoke if you can squeeze into a twenty-medium-sized family, will Elder Du take the Qinghe Tang family more seriously?"

Some people questioned: "Although the Li family can only be regarded as a new type of family among the twenty medium-sized families, the overall strength and influence are far superior to the Tang family in the past few hundred years.

The person who questioned it was also an elder surnamed Jia of the Wang family, Keqing, who had always been a little difficult to deal with Elder Du.

Of course, this kind of inconsistency is basically one-sided, and it is nothing more than that Elder Jia is unwilling to accept the treatment that Elder Du enjoys in the Wang family and the right to speak over him.

"There is nothing hidden, since the head of the family has come to discuss with us, I want to hear the truest thoughts from the bottom of everyone's hearts. ”

Elder Du also ignored Elder Jia's stumbling block, and looked straight at the head of the Wang family and said, "I hope the head of the family can think about it again, if the Qinghe Tang family is really as weak as they show, it is impossible for them to sit firmly in the position of a medium-sized family until now, and they have never been squeezed down." ”

"Hehe, it's really funny, the Tang family has always been able to live at the end of the twentieth family, that's because every time they challenge their opponents, it's still too much, how can those defeated small families be compared to our Wang family?"

Elder Jia obviously targeted Elder Du: "Could it be that in Elder Du's eyes, the current Wang family is actually on the same level as those small families who failed to challenge in the past?"

These words are really heart-piercing, and they happen to be the hearts of the Wang family.

After all, in the eyes of the Wang family, they have been preparing for so long, and although they are still only a small family, they already have the confidence and strength of a medium-sized family, and the only thing they lack is a justifiable name.

In their hearts, how could they think that those small families who failed in challenges would be on the same level as their own family?

For a while, because of Elder Jia's words, many people were a little unhappy, and even had a little whisper about Elder Du.

is the head of the Wang family, even if he doesn't show it on his face, he is a little unhappy in his heart.

"Okay, Elder Du definitely didn't mean that, and Elder Jia didn't need to be careful. ”

The head of the Wang family quickly spoke up and did speak for Elder Jia, but he didn't give Elder Du another chance to continue to express his opinions.

"Two Han Xiaoyou, what do you think?"

He quickly turned his attention to Zhang Yiyi and Luo Qiheng, who had never opened their mouths to express their opinions, which could be regarded as diverting everyone's previous attention.

However, the head of the Wang family seemed to be asking about the brother and sister, but in fact, in the end, his eyes fell on his sister Zhang Yiyi and waited for an answer, and he didn't expect anything from Luo Qiheng at all.

Zhang Yiyi saw that the head of the Wang family personally opened his mouth to ask, so it was naturally not good to stay out of the matter anymore and just be an observer.

"I beg your pardon, my brother and I are new to the house, and we are not familiar with these at all, so I don't make random suggestions. ”

She smiled and said, "But please rest assured, no matter which family you challenge, wherever you can use me and my brother, our brother and sister will naturally go all out." ”

After finishing the expression, Zhang Yiyi didn't say anything more, and continued to sit quietly in her seat as a vase.

Anyway, she is a fighter, and she doesn't dare to take such decisions at will, even if she knows that the head of the Wang family is polite at best, it is impossible to really take her opinion seriously.

Zhang Yiyi is still very self-aware, and he will not swell up just because yesterday's fight was a little worse, and it is not useful for the elder Keqing, who has not seen other people's old qualifications, to put forward different opinions, but is it disliked?

She didn't think that her identity, status, and influence in the Wang family would be stronger than that of Elder Nadu.

Sure enough, after listening to Zhang Yiyi's words, the head of the Wang family was obviously very satisfied, and nodded again and again and praised their brother and sister a few words, so naturally he didn't ask them any more opinions.

In the end, the result of the negotiation was, of course, that the minority obeyed the majority, and the head of the Wang family officially determined that the target of the challenge was the Qinghe Tang family.

After they dispersed, Zhang Yiyi and Luo Qiheng went back to the house to rest, but they didn't expect to be stopped by Elder Du in front of the house.

"Two little friends, do you have time to listen to the old man?"

Elder Du glanced at the direction of the room and said, "It won't delay you too much, let's go in and talk?"

Zhang Yiyi quickly glanced at Luo Qiheng beside him, and saw that he did not express any clear objections, so naturally he did not deny the face of this Yuanying elder.

"Elder Du, please!"

She raised her hand and made a gesture of invitation, and then took the person to the house where Luo Qiheng lived, and of course she went in with her.

"I wonder what Elder Du has to say to my brother and sister?"

After entering the house, Zhang Yiyi didn't have any intention of entertaining, and went straight to the topic.

Of course, Elder Du didn't care about this, and quickly said to Zhang Yiyi: "Old man Guan Han Xiaoyou should have agreed with the old man before, why didn't you want to tell your true thoughts when the head of the family asked you alone?"

This is indeed straightforward, and even faintly with a hint of reproach.

Maybe he felt that Zhang Yiyi was just a junior, or maybe it was because he was very dissatisfied with the result in the main hall just now, in short, Elder Du's tone was really a little bad.

Seeing this, Zhang Yiyi was not angry, and said in a normal tone: "Elder Du's words, the younger generation can't understand it. First, how did Elder Du know that the juniors must have agreed with your previous proposal? Second, how did Elder Du know that what I said before was not what I really thought?"

It was Luo Qiheng, who also looked at Elder Du coldly, although he didn't intend to make a sound, he obviously felt that this old man was a little inexplicable and unpleasant.

"When so many people were looking for the Qinghe Tang family as the best target before, Zhang Xiaoyou's expression was obviously not very interested, and it was even different from the expressions of those of them. But later, after the old man mentioned that it was most appropriate to avoid the Tang family and re-elect the Li family, although Zhang Xiaoyou did not squeak, his expression was very approving to the old man's words. ”

Elder Du would not feel wrong, even if Zhang Yiyi's expression at that time was very subtle, and he was not eye-catching when he was mixed with the crowd, but for Elder Du, who was bent on finding an alliance, such a subtle abnormality naturally expanded countless times in his attention and perception.

"Elder Du is afraid that he is joking, my brother and I have just arrived, and we are completely unclear about the situation of the twenty-medium-sized family, so I really can't make any judgment. As for the difference in the looks of the seniors, it is nothing more than because the seniors have the most different opinions, and of course it will make the juniors pay special attention. ”

Zhang Yiyi secretly sighed in her heart that Yuan Ying deserved to be Yuan Ying, and this subtle insight alone was admirable.

She did agree with Elder Du's idea, but she obviously didn't reveal anything special at that time, but she didn't expect that Elder Du still noticed something unusual.

It's a pity that even this is useless, she doesn't plan to meddle in this, so why waste all that effort and thanklessness.

Anyway, whether the Wang family can win the competition in the end, and whether they can successfully squeeze out other medium-sized families for promotion, has little impact on her.

From the head of the family to the clansmen, almost all of them feel that challenging the Qinghe Tang family is the most correct choice, and it is clear that the matter is a foregone conclusion and only one situation, how can they listen to other different opinions.

What's more, like Elder Du, he wants to change the decision-making of the entire Wang family with his own strength.

She didn't know if this Elder Du was too naïve, he had cultivated for hundreds of years and didn't even understand the most basic general trend and expectations.

"Han Xiaoyou......"

After hearing these words, Elder Du's expression was obviously even more disappointed, and it was estimated that he should not be very good at words on weekdays, so he didn't know what to say to Zhang Yiyi for a while.

He thought that Zhang Yiyi must agree with him, but it was not easy to show it for some reason at that time, so he wanted to persuade him in private, so that the two brothers and sisters could go with him and persuade the head of the family to change his mind.

But now it seems that the junior in front of him didn't even dare to admit it in front of him.

Yesterday, I watched the competition between the two brothers and sisters, decisive, arbitrary, and invincible, and thought that they must act differently from ordinary monks, but I didn't expect that in the end he thought too much.

"That's it, since the two little friends don't want to admit it, the old man won't be reluctant. ”

He flicked his sleeves angrily and turned around to leave: "When the time comes to the challenge, you will definitely be ashamed and regret for your inaction today!"

"Senior, please wait!"

Zhang Yiyi frowned and stopped Elder Du, who was about to leave.

However, she did not change her so-called mind as Elder Du wished, but stated quite seriously: "The seniors are wrong, my brother and I are guests, we just need to do our best to complete the tasks assigned by the Wang family, and other things are beyond the control of our brothers and sisters." What is the final result of the challenge the day after tomorrow, my brother and I have a clear conscience, why should we be ashamed and regretful?"

"The old man is right!"

Elder Du was very stubborn: "You know that challenging the Qinghe Tang family is not the best choice, but you just don't say anything, it's ......."

"Knowingly?

Zhang Yiyi directly interrupted and retorted: "Don't say that our brothers and sisters really know about the twenty medium-sized families, even if they know everything, they will never dare to say that they know who is the best choice." Senior Du thinks too highly of our brothers and sisters, at most our brothers and sisters are a little more capable than the monks of the same level, and the others have neither the wisdom of planning nor the ability to predict, so what is wrong with abiding by their duties and not interfering in things that are not clear? I hope that our seniors will not impose some of their own ideas on our brothers and sisters, we are not seniors, and our predecessors are not us. ”

"Little girl, you are too sharp-toothed, the old man can't talk about you. ”

Elder Du's old face was flushed, and he was obviously a little weak by Zhang Yiyi's refutation: "That's it, this time it's the old man's mistake, the old man shouldn't embarrass you, the old man apologizes, right?"

I don't know if I'm a little angry, Elder Du didn't leave, sat down like an old child, stared straight at Zhang Yiyi and said: "But don't talk to the old man about these clichés, the old man knows that you are actually not optimistic about the Wang family against the Tang family, you girl is cunning, you just don't want to get involved in these troubles." ”

He has some axes, but he is not stupid, and he can't guess the real mind of the little girl after the call.

The more this is the case, the more unpleasant it is in my heart, and in the end, I don't know whether the angry little girl refuses to help, or she is angry that she can't see it.

Seeing this, Zhang Yiyi was really made a little crying and laughing by Elder Du's sudden childish behavior.

As for being pointed out in public, she doesn't care, anyway, you know it's the same thing, I don't admit it, I don't admit it.

But seeing that Elder Du's nature was not bad and he didn't leave, Zhang Yiyi had to be kind enough to say a few more words.

"Senior, do you think that if you choose the Li family, the Wang family will definitely be able to win? Which of the twenty medium-sized families is a fuel-efficient lamp, unless the Wang family has the absolute certainty and strength to absolutely crush a certain family, how much difference can there be between the Tang family and the Li family?"
