Xu Qiang thought deeply for a long time and then said to the First Elder: "First Elder, don't worry! I'm not a careless person. Let's go first to see what kind of injury he has." After that, he left the martial arts field.
Going to the other courtyard where Xu Zhan lived before, the elder nodded after hearing this and followed Xu Qiang. What he was most satisfied with Xu Qiang was not his cultivation but his knowledge of current affairs, so he firmly believed that Xu Qiang would handle the matter well.
Xu Hong’s question.
Xu Qiang and the First Elder soon arrived at the other courtyard where Xu Zhan used to live. Although no one had lived in this courtyard for two years, Xu Qiang had his servants clean the place. Regarding this, Xu Zhan who came just now
and Xu Hong were quite satisfied. Although Xu Qiang did not do well in many aspects, he was still filial to his parents. Xu Qiang and the eldest elder walked into the living room of the other courtyard and saw Xu Hong sitting leisurely.
Looking at them with a smile in the living room. Xu Qiang was very uncomfortable with Xu Hong's look. He was about to say something sarcastic when he was stopped by the elder. He saw the elder's right hand tightly holding Xu Qiang's left arm with a face full of laughter.
He smiled and said: "Hello, Third Young Master! May I ask how the Third Young Master's old master's injury is?"
"Dad knew you would come. He asked me to tell you that his injury is not serious. He will talk to you in the council hall tomorrow morning and ask you to inform the elders to get up early tomorrow and wait in the council hall." Xu Hongpo
To be polite.
"Understood, we will inform all the elders. By the way, Third Young Master, can we go in and greet the old master?" The elder's right hand still held Xu Qiang's left arm tightly, for fear that he would impulsively contradict this Shang again.
The ignorant third young master faced Xu Hongdao with a very sincere attitude.
"You also know that although Dad won the battle just now, he was also injured. Although it was not serious, he was worried that Ni Hua had the support of immortal cultivators behind him, so he took the time to repair his injuries to protect us Xu.
The family is safe, so he can't be disturbed now. You should wait to go to the meeting hall to see his old man tomorrow!" Xu Hong said truthfully. When Xu Hong mentioned the immortal cultivator behind Ni Hua, Xu Qiang's face instantly turned ugly.
Although he has not seen or even heard of the forces behind Ni Hua, he has been the head of the Xu family for nearly twenty years, so he has seen this in the world. There must be immortal cultivators behind Ni Hua.
Just now, Ni Hua was beaten to death by himself even though he was seriously injured. If he were to be the cultivator behind Ni Hua, wouldn't he be unable to survive? The more Xu Qiang thought about it, the more frightened he became. His whole back was wet, and his eyes were filled with tears.
There was also a hint of fear in it.
"Then please, Third Young Master, please take good care of the old Patriarch. We will go and inform all the elders to come to the meeting hall tomorrow morning to wait for the old Patriarch to arrive and say goodbye!" The eldest elder keenly sensed that when Xu Hong mentioned the person behind Ni Hua, Xu Qiang
His whole body became stiff, so he let go of his right hand that was holding his arm tightly, and cupped his hands to Xu Hong with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed Xu Qiang, who was stiff all over, and motioned for him to leave together. Xu Qiang then responded.
After coming to his senses, he stared at Xu Hong fiercely and then followed the elder out of the living room and left the courtyard.
"You! You are still too impulsive, but if Ni Hua dies, he will die! If there is really someone behind him, even if you don't kill him, someone will still come to look for trouble. You don't have to do it now
You are so scared, you are the current head of the family, you must show the majesty of the head of the family, and don't let those elders see the joke." The two were walking on the road, the elder warned. In fact, in Xu Qiang's regime, this elder has been playing a role
The important role is that he single-handedly supported Xu Qiang. Many of Xu Qiang's decisions were ultimately made by him.
"I know!" Xu Qiang's voice trembled a little.
"Look at what you are like now. You look like a coward. Why are you going to meet those elders? Don't worry! Since the old family master intends to let Ni Hua go, it means that he is not worried about the people behind Ni Hua. What's wrong with him?
Of course he was the one who took the first step, what are you afraid of!" The elder looked at the unsatisfactory head of the family who he had single-handedly supported, and still suppressed his anger and analyzed for him.
"That's right! I didn't expect this. Thank you, Great Elder, for reminding me!" Xu Qiang just woke up from a dream and said. He instantly returned to his previous arrogant personality, striding toward the meeting hall with the Great Elder. Xu's home
The elders also left the martial arts field after the eldest elder and Xu Hong left the martial arts field. Xu Qiang and the eldest elder were waiting in the meeting hall to visit Xu Zhan. Just now, an earth-shaking event happened in the Xu family. As Xu Zhan, they
The top group of the country must make a decision on the aftermath of this matter.
The figures of Xu Qiang and the great elder soon appeared at the door of the meeting hall. When the elders saw them, they all gathered around and asked about Xu Zhan's condition.
"Okay, everyone, please be quiet and sit down and listen to me." Xu Qiang walked directly to the chair that Ni Hua had been sitting on for more than two years, sat down very proudly, and said to him
The elders who came up from the side said. After hearing this, all the elders found their seats and sat down, waiting for the head of the family who had been useless for more than two years to speak with pride.
"Everyone knows that something big and happy happened in our Xu family today! That is, the outsider Ni Hua was driven away. Of course, the more important thing is that a cultivator of immortality finally appeared in our Xu family. That is my father, our superior.
As the head of the family, from now on we no longer have to be afraid of overbearing immortal cultivators like Ni Hua." Xu Qiang said arrogantly. After hearing this, the elders were very encouraged and applauded. This was indeed a day of pride for the entire Xu family. They sat aside
The great elder looked at Xu Qiang and coughed twice.
"Of course, you also know that although the old patriarch defeated Ni Hua, he himself was injured. I just went to see the old patriarch with the great elder. The old patriarch is recovering from his injuries. He told us that his injuries are not serious and that
I would like to instruct everyone here to wait in this meeting hall tomorrow morning. The old man has something to say. You have to explain that from now on, nothing that happened today can be mentioned again, and the news must be strictly sealed to the outside world. Everything will wait for the old master tomorrow.
Make a decision after the lecture." After receiving the look from the elder, Xu Qiang's tone suddenly became very majestic. All the elders nodded in agreement, all stood up, said goodbye to Xu Qiang, and left the meeting hall.
"I have had such a great day. I never thought that Xu Zhan would have the opportunity to become an immortal cultivator. You should make good use of it. Maybe you will be the next one from our Xu family to become an immortal cultivator." The elder looked at Xu Qiang after watching the elders leave.
He said with emotion, with a look of relief and envy in his eyes.
"Immortal cultivator, immortal cultivator! Yes, during this time I have to perform well in front of dad. As long as dad is willing to support me, I have the possibility of becoming an immortal cultivator." Xu Qiang began to outline his future.
"It's good that you know, so from now on you must unconditionally implement your father's words, and you must also pay attention to your third brother's attitude. Let's wait until you become a true immortal cultivator." The elder said meaningfully.
road.
"Don't worry, Great Elder. In order to become an immortal cultivator, I can endure anything. Isn't it just that you don't mess with that loser during this period? I just remember it." Xu Qiang's eyes were firm and he said with great determination.
"I feel relieved when you say that. It's getting late. I have to go to this meeting hall tomorrow morning to wait for the master of my hometown to lecture me. You should go back and rest first!" The elder looked at Xu Qiang again and said calmly.
"I know, then I'll go back and rest first. You should rest early!" Xu Qiang stood up and said. As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out the door. After the elder watched Xu Qiang leave, he shook his head and said to himself
He said: "I am impatient, but I am still too young to take on the big responsibility!" After saying that, he got up and walked to the side room of the meeting hall, where he lived.
Early the next morning, the elders rushed to the meeting hall, only to find that Xu Zhan and Xu Hong were already waiting there. The elders came over to see Xu Zhan one after another, and their attitudes were very respectful. The eldest elder stood with his head lowered after seeing Xu Zhan.
On the side, at this moment, he was scolding Xu Qiang in his heart: "This bastard boy is still pretending to be the head of his family. All the elders have come but he is not the head of the family. It seems that he is still my boss."
It's thrown out of the sky, it's really mud that can't hold up the wall!" After waiting for a while, there was still no trace of Xu Qiang. Xu Zhan remained silent and just found an ordinary chair and sat down with Xu Hong.
"Master, please take a seat!" Seeing Xu Zhan find a chair and sit down, the elder quickly came over and pointed to the seat in front of him and said humbly.
"That's the position of the head of the family. I'm not the head of the family now. Let's wait until the head of the family comes!" Xu Zhan didn't even look at the elder, but said casually. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Qiang swaggering from his side.
He walked in from the door, looked at the room full of people, and said with a certain air of dignity: "Come here, everyone is here, you are quite early!" As he said this, he glanced around the room, and suddenly saw Xu Zhan sitting there
On an ordinary chair, the great elder was still standing next to him. The arrogant expression just now was immediately replaced by a respectful attitude. He quickly trotted to Xu Zhan, bending down and respectfully.
He said respectfully: "Dad, you have come so early, are your injuries healed? How can you sit here, so that the children and elders dare to sit there? Dad, please sit in the upright seat!"
"
"Don't worry about me, Master. Everything is fine. I won't sit in the position of Master. I feel quite good sitting here." Xu Zhan said coldly.
"Okay, everything is up to you, dad. Then you can sit here, and we will just stand aside and listen to your lecture." After the great elder glared at Xu Qiang, Xu Qiang shuddered all over, remembering the great elder's words yesterday.
He warned and quickly followed Xu Zhan's words.
"Tell me, don't you dare! I just have a few questions to ask everyone here." Xu Zhan stared at Xu Qiang coldly for a while, then looked at the elders and said.
"Dad, if you have any questions, just ask me and I will tell you everything I know." Xu Qiang said meekly.
"Then why did Ni Hua come to my Xu family?" Xu Zhan asked politely.
"As soon as he came to our Xu family, he asked us to send people to dig around. We sent many people to dig out and get back samples to show him, but he was not satisfied every time and kept urging us to send more people to dig out.
, but it’s a embarrassment to our Xu family.” Xu Qiang replied respectfully.
"Has he told you what kind of mine he is looking for?" Xu Zhan asked again.
"No! Just let us keep bringing back various mines to show him." Xu Qiang said seriously. Xu Zhan looked at the elders, who nodded quickly.
"Is the only thing about looking for mines?" Xu Zhan asked coldly.
