In the meeting hall of the Li family, in addition to the head of the family sitting in the first place, the left and right sides were also filled with the heads of each house, the direct core disciples, the family elders and clan members with advanced abilities.
This meeting was actually more tense than the interrogation of Li Donglai for several days.
"The Treasure Appraisal Conference is held once every six years. It is an unprecedented event. For example, each of the five major families in Chicheng has only ten places. It can be said that as long as you can participate, it represents recognition of your identity and strength."
"Yes, the head of our Li family will definitely be going this time, and Li Shentong and Li Shenxiu should also participate. They will probably need a quota, and there are... Li Tian, Li Jie, the second elder,
Third Elder, the family worships Mr. Xu, and now seven of the quotas have been used up..."
"It's probably like this. There are three spots left. It should be our turn for the collateral branch. The top master of the collateral branch, Li Yan, should be able to get one. In addition, Li Guo, who is in charge of the foreign government's business, may also be able to get one.
If you get a quota, the rest... Li Gong is doing well this year, and maybe he can also get a quota..."
"Li Gong...not necessarily. His son Li Donglai has offended too many people. Those directly connected to him will definitely not agree. There is no guarantee that this quota will be allocated to another family."
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, but house master, look at this coming, please keep your voices down."
The whispers in the crowd suddenly became quiet as the head of the family, Li Qiankun, glanced over.
This time it is a matter of fighting for benefits. Those who go there will not only gain face, but also have the opportunity to broaden their horizons, collect treasures, and expand their connections. At the same time, it is also a recognition of their identity and strength. Who doesn’t want to fight for it in the family? Now everyone
Try to leave a good impression in front of the householder.
When Li Qiankun saw that the discussion had subsided, he nodded with satisfaction. This meant that his family leader was more powerful. Seeing the admiring looks in his eyes made him feel good.
Naturally, Li Gong and his son also contributed to this.
Since receiving Li Gong's "Wind Roar Jue" and the Coagulation Powder formula, the children of the family have been looking forward to these two exercises and elixirs that made Li Donglai's strength soar and made Li Gong break through the realm of Yijin.
The head of the house also spoke more respectfully. They all hoped that if they performed well, the head of the house would reward him with coagulation powder.
Li Qiankun's eyes glanced across the faces of Li Gong and Li Donglai inadvertently.
Li Gong still looked gentle and elegant, and Li Donglai still looked like an old god, and he didn't show much respect to the family meeting.
Li Qiankun didn't take it seriously. He looked away and smiled slightly: "The reason why everyone is here today is for the quota of the treasure appraisal conference held by the Lord's Mansion of the City the day after tomorrow. As we all know, each of our five major families in Chicheng only has ten quotas. So,
According to my opinion, those participating in the conference this time will be distributed as follows..."
The following is indeed similar to what everyone was discussing in private. The head of the family, Li Qiankun, received two quotas, and the following, Li Tian, Li Jie, and Li Jue, the most important third family members in the direct line, each received one quota.
After that, the second elder and the third elder among the family elders each took two places, and the rest, Mr. Xu Da, the family's worshipper, took one place.
In the end, there were only two places, and one of them deservedly went to Li Yan, the top master of the family branch, the second level of Yi Jin.
With the last spot left, Li Qiankun pondered for a moment, glanced at the direction Li Gong and Li Dong came from, and said, "The last spot is for Li Gong."
As soon as these words came out, Li's brothers who were directly related to each house, as well as important masters and core members of the family, and elders and elders, were suddenly in an uproar.
"Family leader, Li Gong was promoted to the first level of Yijin last month and became the patriarch of the family. In terms of qualifications, he is still far behind!"
"Head of the family, on this side of the family, whether it's Li Guo or Li Lai, they have all contributed a lot to the family. They have worked hard and made great achievements. Why not consider them?"
Whether it is the direct relatives like Li Tian and Li Jie out of resentment towards Li Donglai and his son; or the family elders out of jealousy of the new elder Li Gong; or the direct relatives such as Li Guo, Li Lai and others,
The result of the disappointment at losing their quota was that everyone started to attack Li Gong and Li Donglai, and for a while, the public sentiment was raging.
Li Qiankun was slightly startled. He did not expect that Li Gong, father and son, would be so unpopular within the family.
But when you think about it, you will understand that Li Gong has always kept a low profile in the past. Recently, it was because of Li Donglai's strong performance that he fell into the eyes of everyone. Both Li Donglai and Li Gong are facing a difficulty in the family at the moment - the rise of too much
quick!
Compared with their obscurity in the past, their recent rapid progress in cultivation has been so envied by others that they inevitably feel that their foundation is not strong. Whether it is their relationship with other houses or Li Gong's influence, they are still far behind.
Far away.
In particular, Li Tian, Li Jie and Li Jue, important figures in the direct relationship between the three houses, gathered all the houses and elders in their own camp and loudly rebelled against the team, criticizing Li Gong for his virtue and ability. He had just been promoted.
After entering the first level of Yijin, he wanted to compete for the qualifications for the Treasure Appraisal Conference. Where would he put the other elders of the Yijin realm in the family?
"Master, please deal with it impartially!"
"Don't ever break the rules just because of Li Gong!"
The second elder said nonchalantly at the same time: "Master, Li Gong has just been promoted to the first level of Yijin. He still needs more training. I think this opportunity should be left to others!"
The truth sounds high-sounding, but in reality it is full of deep-seated ridicule and contempt.
"Li Gong, although you have entered Yi Jinzhong now, which can be considered as your first entry into the core of the Li family, you only have two sons in your family, so you are very thin, and you do not have any firm allies to support you. After all, your foundation is too shallow.
Do you want to win a spot with this little bit of talent?
Two words, dream!"
Faced with such strong criticism, even if Li Qiankun was the head of the family, he would not be able to intervene forcefully.
The previous protection of Li Donglai had already aroused strong dissatisfaction from Li Tian and other departments. It would be inappropriate to be tough again at a treasure appraisal conference.
Li Qiankun was a little hesitant.
The entire conference hall exuded an atmosphere of unanimous resistance to Li Gong's quota. Li Gong, Li Donglai, and Li Xilai naturally felt the strong hostility and jealousy.
Li Xilai frowned, sneered again and again on his face, and said in a low voice: "Father, people in our house are jealous. These people are not happy with our family, and they are shouting to beat and kill, haha..."
Li Gong also had a frosty look on his face. In the past, he didn't argue because he felt it was unnecessary. But it's different now. Not only has he reached the second level of Yi Jin, but his two sons, Dong Lai and Xilai, are also so competitive. They don't argue when they should.
, you are really being treated as weak and can be bullied!
Look at the eyes of those around you, either pity or ridicule, but there is no respect at all.
Li Gong felt dissatisfied.
Just at this moment, a strange and sinister voice came to my ears: "Gong Li, if you are sensible, you should give in and leave this opportunity to others. Otherwise, you will lose face and it will be meaningless."
