Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 301, I'm on You
Royal ancestry.
A relatively clean Confucian scholar who looked like an old man had been sitting in front of the main hall.
He neither went in nor left, just sat here.
I came here as a cleaning boy, and I didn't dare to scold him. I just pretended that I had never seen this person before.
The royal elders who were discussing the matter even regarded the old man as nothing.
The old Confucian scholar would not tangle too much with these people. When he was hungry, he would have food brought to him, and when he was thirsty, he would drink a few sips of wine. He completely regarded this hall as his own territory.
You know, this is the ancestral home of the royal family, so why does it make sense for a person with a foreign surname to occupy this place all day long?
"Xu family boy, the new emperor has returned to Jingzhao Mansion, why are you still here?"
In the end, the elder of the royal family couldn't stand it anymore and asked.
"Hey, someone took something belonging to my student. The student was too timid to ask for it, so I reluctantly asked for it for him, old man."
The great scholar Xu Shi said slowly.
In front of outsiders, he is a highly respected scholar.
But in the imperial family lineage, he turned into a country man who was not stingy.
"Who is the person who took your student's things?"
The Great Elder was a little displeased, "Just tell me, and I will seek justice for you."
Among the royal ancestry, the Great Elder has the greatest authority and the highest level of cultivation.
As long as the great elder comes forward, there is almost nothing that cannot be solved.
"Hehe, don't worry, Great Elder. The person who took my student's things will naturally know it. I will sit here and wait for him to return it to me with his own hands. Since I am asking for justice, how can I ask you to come forward?"
The great scholar Xu Shi said.
In front of these old men, the great scholar Xu Shi was just a junior.
But he is not in a hurry. The younger generation has the benefits of the younger generation. There is nothing they can do if they wallow in front of these old immortals.
"Nonsense!"
The Great Elder glared at Master Xu, "You are the new emperor's right-hand man. Now that the new emperor has returned to Jingzhao Mansion, instead of assisting the new emperor, you are wasting your time here."
The great scholar Xu Shi just smiled but said nothing.
It's no use letting the great elder get angry, the great scholar Xu Shi seems to have been ruined.
"snort!"
Seeing that there was no response, the great elder could only flick his sleeves and walk towards the main hall.
The other elders had already arrived. Looking at Master Xu at the door, they all looked a little big-headed.
Three days ago, the new emperor paid another visit to the royal family and discussed important matters with everyone.
Master Xu came with the new emperor, but the new emperor left, and he still stayed here.
If it were a person from a hostile force who had not yet entered the royal family lineage, they would swarm up and beat these rambunctious people half to death.
But the great scholar Xu Shi was also a guest of the royal family.
People like this are the most difficult to deal with!
Once they take action against the great scholar Xu Shi, how will other people view the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
If there is a strong man in the future, how can he join the Zhou Dynasty?
Moreover, the great Confucian Master Xu is one of the leaders of scholars in the world. Once he takes action against Master Xu, he will probably be despised by the scholars in the world.
Due to emotions and reasons, they did not dare to take action.
Master Xu just stayed here openly and hung out in front of them every day, which made people upset.
"Who on earth took this kid's things? Hand them over as soon as possible."
The great elder yelled angrily, "Aren't you so annoying? I see this guy every day and I'm bored to death."
The remaining nine elders sitting at the table remained silent.
After a while, the elder added, "You have to wipe your own ass for what you have done. If this old boy hasn't left by tomorrow morning, don't force me to investigate."
They are all hundreds of years old.
Some words can be said to a certain extent, which can be regarded as leaving a little bit of thin noodles for them.
Otherwise, it would not sound good to spread the word about taking advantage of the younger generation.
After talking about the small things, it was time to discuss the big things. The great elder did not shy away from the great scholar Xu Master at the door, and chatted about serious matters, "Over at the training ground, I heard that the warriors of the Great Zhou Dynasty have been somewhat difficult to continue."
"The power that Demon Realm has accumulated over the years is beyond my imagination."
"It's definitely not possible to just let the Demon Slayer Division and some casual cultivators come forward to compete."
"I plan to let the disciples from our clan and some of the top clans go out to practice."
After the great elder's words fell, he aroused opposition from other elders.
"No!" It was the third elder who said this. "The younger generation in the royal family is extremely talented. This is our backup, and it is also where we must hide our clumsiness."
"Once these young people take action, our reality will be clearly understood by the Demon Realm."
The Sixth Elder also stood up and said, "It's really not possible. A big family treats the most cherished genius of its descendants as a treasure. That is the key to the inheritance of a big family."
"If the ancestors of those big families repent, what should we do? We commit such a trivial matter by force and start a war with the ancestors of those big families? Is this not worth the gain?"
After the third elder and sixth elder finished speaking, several elders stood up to object.
Hearing this, the First Elder frowned and said, "The disciples of our family are the pet peeves. Aren't those who went to the trial site to slay demons the pet peeves? Who doesn't have parents? Are they not loved by the elders of their parents' clan?"
"The ones who are holding on in the trial field right now are the top ten demon-slaying guards from the Demon-Slaying General Division. I have met several of these kids, and some of them have really good character."
"A short-term life-and-death fight is indeed conducive to the growth of geniuses, but a long-term fight will exhaust the potential of these people."
"Everyone, do you really want to chill the world?"
The first elder spoke sternly, but after the words fell, the second elder slowly spoke.
In previous meetings, the Second Elder mostly remained silent, but this time he spoke, "First Elder, I know that you have served in the Demon Slaying Division before, and you can be considered one of the founders of the Demon Slaying Division."
"But we can't have good thoughts towards the Demon Slayer Division just because of this matter. We must consider the long term. Those clan disciples, as well as the young talents of the royal family, are all in retreat."
"It is up to these people from the Demon Slaying Division to contain the geniuses of the demon clan. Our real geniuses are hiding in the dark and cultivating. When they come out of seclusion, they will definitely be much stronger than the geniuses of the demon clan."
"Maybe a group of fourth- and third-level martial arts masters will be born as a result."
"By then, our overall strength will be stronger than the demon clan."
What the second elder said makes sense.
It would be a great merit to contain the geniuses of the demon race and create opportunities for the real geniuses of the human race.
"Our group of elders can write a letter to ask the new emperor to take more care of the trial ground. Improve the treatment of everyone. If the merit points are not enough, we can give more merit points and provide more supplies."
"I'm sure these people will be happy too. They have no support from the powerful people behind them and no guidance from their predecessors. It's already a rare opportunity to have such an opportunity."
"I got a secret message, saying that two days ago, someone killed two demon princes and obtained a huge amount of merit points, which can be exchanged for a large amount of merit. If it were normal, how could they have such an opportunity?" This chapter has been completed!
