Chapter Ninety-Six: Conspiracy

"You want the Patriarch?"

Situ Lei couldn't believe it, after all, no one had been in office for more than ten years since the patriarch position. Now this Lin Hua, who is not sure if he is a traitor, actually asked himself to elect him, which is a bit ridiculous. Even a slightly flawed person himself will not think about it at all, let alone this person who is suspected of being a traitor.

"No, I'm not going to elect you. ”

"Uncle Situ, do you know the current situation of the family? If it was before, then the behavior of this patriarch may be very important. But now..."Lin Hua smiled lightly: "Does the current patriarch still have any role to speak of?"

"So what do you mean..."

Lin Hua nodded and said, "Yes, I just want a name, that's enough." ”

"This..."

Situ Lei fell silent for a while, he was a little unsure of Lin Hua's intentions. If at first he thought that Lin Hua was just a selfish villain blinded by interests, then now he is really a little confused.

Now that the family has completely disintegrated, even the heads of each family can't control their own people well, let alone a patriarch whose reputation is far greater than his actual power?

So what was Lin Hua's purpose in electing himself to be the patriarch of the family at this time? If he rashly elected him in order to save his granddaughter, then maybe he would become a sinner in the family.

"You haven't told me your way yet..."

Situ Lei hesitated again and again but decided to listen to Lin Hua's so-called method first, if he couldn't convince himself or there was no way at all, then he would have nothing to think about at all.

"Ugh..."

Lin Hua and Qiu Fan glanced at each other, then nodded slightly.

"Mr. Mark, senior, come out. ”

"Mr. Mark, and seniors?"

Situ Lei looked in the direction of Lin Hua in horror, and there were already two people, one tall and one short. The short man was Mark, and when he saw the tall one, Situ Lei's eyes immediately widened.

"Cloud Neutron Dao Chief?!"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Mr. Situ has been doing well lately. ”

Yun Zhongzi's beard and hair are all white, but his face is as ruddy as a baby, wearing a heavenly crown and holding a dust, dressed as a standard Taoist priest.

"Dao Chief, how could you?"

Situ Lei still couldn't believe what he saw in front of him, and the four people in front of him could be said to be completely from four different forces. Lin Hua is the head of the Lin family of the three major families, Qiu Fan is a member of the Silver Moon Alliance, Yun Zhongzi is the Heavenly Master of the Qingcheng Mountain Dojo, and this Mark is the core figure of the Moon Soul.

Now, all four of them have gathered here. Whatever they were, they must have a common interest now, otherwise they wouldn't be here.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, this question is still up to Lin Hua. After Yun Zhongzi finished speaking, he shook off the dust and found a seat and sat down.

Situ Lei looked at Yun Zhongzi, and then at Mark, who had closed his eyes on the side, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart. It seems that it is not only Lin Hua who has fallen now, but even this Yun Zhongzi, who has always been far away from the world, has also thrown himself into the camp of the Moon Soul.

Clan......

It's over......

"Uncle Situ, do you remember that family rule?"

Lin Hua's unprovoked words suddenly asked Situ Lei, and he said a little angrily: "There are so many family rules, how do I know what you are talking about." ”

"It's about the patriarch and the ...... of the clan"

"What?"

Situ Lei's face changed, others may not know this family rule, but his father was also a patriarch, so he was very clear about this rule.

"Article 99 of the clan rules: After the patriarch and clan leader have finished their tenure, they must go to the family cemetery to guard the tomb for three years......"

"It seems that you have already remembered," Lin Hua smiled slightly: "But do you know that our family will have such a rule?"

"This ......"

Situ Lei couldn't say it, remembering that this rule had been in place since the day he was born. No one asked, no one questioned the reasonableness of this rule, and everyone has always done so.

However, the position of patriarch has not been held since his father Situ Haotian, so no one pays attention to this clan rule. Now that I think about it, why do the patriarchs and clansmen have to go to guard the tombs, and why do they have to be at the end of their tenure?

Moreover, Situ Lei also thought of an even more suspicious place. After the retired patriarchs and clansmen went to the family cemetery, they never returned. This was not until his father, who was murdered while in office.

"Uncle Situ, if I tell you that Patriarch Haotian is not dead, I wonder if you will believe it?"

"You... What do you say?!"

Lin Hua's simple words had already scared Situ Lei so much that he couldn't speak. Although he was still a child at the time, he vividly remembers the events of that day. first learned the news that his father was killed, and then his mother couldn't think about it and killed herself.

However, Situ Lei suddenly had a spirit, he saw his mother's death with his own eyes, but he did not have his father's death.

"Patriarch Haotian is in the Moon Soul Star right now, and Qingyun is also there. ”

The news given by Lin Hua had completely stunned Situ Lei, his mind had completely stopped turning, and he had stopped thinking.

"Father is not dead, he is with Qingyun..."Situ Lei's mouth kept muttering, but suddenly his eyes froze: "You panic, even if my father didn't die back then, but if he lived to this day, he would be more than 110 years old, do you think it's possible!"

"Of course it's impossible for ordinary people, but if you break through that step, it's normal to live a few hundred years old!" Lin Hua said lightly.

Situ Lei rubbed his head in confusion, "You said that my father has already broken through that step, how is this possible? ”

Lin Hua smiled slightly: "Maybe no one can break through now, but in the past, things were just the opposite. ”

"How do you know?" Situ Lei's eyes widened.

"Maybe I can explain this to you. Mark, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, "Do you remember the Moon Soul Star who suddenly appeared decades ago?"

Could it be?" said Stuart, looking at Mark in surprise.

"Yes, that person is me. Mark nodded: "I was indeed going to kill your father at that time, but because of the sudden order from my superiors, I gave up this idea. ”

"What about my father?" asked Situ Lei, hurriedly.

"As Lin Hua said, he is now in the Moon Soul Star, and your granddaughter is indeed there. Mark explained.

"He's really not dead?" Situ Lei still couldn't believe it.

"With the help of our cultivation stones, he has already broken through, and of course he is not dead. ”

Although Situ Lei didn't know the purpose of these people in front of him, he was still very excited when he learned the news that his father and granddaughter were safe. It's just that the excitement didn't last for a few seconds, and his heart sank again.

"Why are you telling me this? Why are you making Lin Hua the patriarch? What is your purpose?"

"Haha, what a troublesome old man. Mark smiled and jumped out of his seat, "It seems that I can't tell you if I don't tell you!"

His short body paced lightly, his short arms behind his back, and it looked funny, but no one cared about these things at this time.

"This is about the royal power of the Moon Soul Empire..."

The Moon Soul is not really just the name of a planet, but a galaxy of ten planets. And the biggest and most important of them is the Moon Soul Star, because the royal capital of the Moon Soul Empire is there.

The Moon Soul Empire was first established by the local natives, who were very short in height, generally only about one meter. However, although they are small in stature, their technology is unparalleled.

As time passed, the reputation of Moon Soul Technology gradually spread in other galaxies, and more and more people came to Moon Soul to trade, play, and even settle down. With the continuous intermarriage, the race of the moon soul has become more and more diverse, and the height of the people has also increased.

In order to maintain the rights of the royal family and the dominance of the pure bloodline, the original royal family assigned a rank to all Moon Soul people according to their height. FROM 1 CM TO 110 CM ARE ROYAL FAMILIES, 111 CM TO 150 CM ARE NOBLES, AND 150 CM TO 170 CM ARE COMMONERS. AS FOR THOSE OVER 170CM, THEY ARE SLAVES, ALSO KNOWN AS MISCELLANEOUS SPECIES!

However, with the continuous evolution of the human race and the socialization of the Moon Soul population, the middle and lower classes demanded equal treatment. The original nobles also took the opportunity to gain more power, and even ascended the throne!

Of course, the royal family would not remain indifferent to the overthrow of their position, so they began to constantly suppress the activities of the other three ranks, and even created several inhumane terrorist acts to suppress the people's resistance.

But what they did not expect was that the revolt not only did not suppress it, but intensified, and finally turned into a war between classes.

However, the war did not start long before another, even bigger war broke out. Because that war affected the interests of almost all the Moon Soul people, the various levels of the Moon Soul had to stop fighting among each other and unanimously turn their guns on outsiders.

However, even in the face of a protracted war, the infighting between the various levels of the Moon Soul has not completely stopped. In order to consume the strength of the nobles, the royal family tried their best to send the nobles' armies to the front. The nobles, on the other hand, each chose the prince they supported, clearly following the dragon, but actually wanted the princes to constantly fight with each other.

This situation continued for decades, and finally one day the royal family and the nobility stopped digging their own graves. Because in the process of their continuous consumption, the strength of the commoners and slaves has gradually increased. And one more thing, they found that they were basically running out of people.

"Therefore, our aristocratic army needs masters to fill the void in strength and support our war. As long as you are willing to join us, we will provide you with a large number of cultivation stones. This way, you can improve your strength very quickly, and it is only a matter of time before you succeed. ”

After listening to Mark's general introduction, Situ Lei basically understood his purpose. After talking for a long time, he just wanted these people to help his nobles rebel. Looking at Qiu Fan, Lin Hua, and Yun Zhongzi around him, Situ Lei knew that they must have joined Mark's camp. As for the Wang family, not to mention, they have long been loyal fans of Mark.

"But what does this have to do with the position of the patriarch?" asked Situ Lei, puzzled.

"I can't answer you for the time being, but if you elect him, then we will take you to the Moon Soul Star to find your father and granddaughter, what do you think?"

Situ Lei was silent, and his heart was entangled at the moment, "I think I need some time to imagine this." ”

"Yes, but you only have one night. Mark took a sip of his tea, "Because tomorrow we will have a meeting of the three families, and the patriarch will be elected at that time." ”
