Yuan Qian pressed down on Yuan Li one sentence after another, so much so that Yuan Li instantly understood that this matter could not be "big things reduced to small things, small things reduced."
She knelt on the ground with a plop, "Master, it was my failure to restrain my subordinates that allowed them to commit this crime."
Yuan Li knew that this matter could not be solved, so it was better to take retreat as a way to advance, and since it was indeed difficult to find the thief, it was better to pass the matter on to others.
"I am willing to take responsibility for this matter and no longer serve as the deputy captain of the home guard."
Yuan Qian took a deep look at Yuan Li. He didn't expect that Yuan Li could really give up the deputy captain of the guard that she had worked so hard to get without giving up the position of deputy captain of the guard through hard and soft tactics.
Yuan Li went on to say, "I am willing to bear the compensation for the treasures that Yuan Quanyou and his subordinates stole from them. I can use my private property to compensate those cultivators twice as much as the treasures."
She raised her head and looked directly at Yuan Qian, "However, I hope Yuan Shushun can take over my position."
Yuan Li plans to push her eldest son to the front, and she will be the person behind the scenes. Although Shu Shun is only a late-stage Jindan cultivator, as long as he gets through the relationship with the elders, he can barely get the position of deputy captain of the home guard. .
But Yuan Qian frowned and refused directly, "Let's wait until Yuan Shushun reaches the Nascent Soul stage!"
He said with profound meaning, "I will let the head of the fifth branch family temporarily serve as the deputy captain of the main family guard to appease Yuan Qi!"
Yuan Li thought for a moment and was shocked. The head of the family valued Yuan Qi so much. Did he want to pave the way for Yuan Qi?
She raised her eyes to look at the family leader and said deliberately, "The position of captain and deputy captain of the master's family guard requires the consent of the seventh elder among the family elders!"
Yuan Qian also knew that most people in the main family would not agree to promote Yuan Qi's father to the main family, but the main family really needed some fresh blood stimulation.
He backed down and said, "As long as Yuan Shushun advances to the Nascent Soul stage, then I will recommend him as the deputy captain of the guard."
Yuan Li thought for a moment and said, "I want Huang Jie to join the main bodyguard!"
"He successfully built the foundation a month ago and is qualified enough to join the Guard!"
Yuan Qian did not expect that Yuan Li had such a loving motherly heart and would actually arrange a way out for this young son.
He pondered for a moment and chose to agree! A member of the guard could not make any big waves, but he could appease Yuan Li in advance.
At this time, Yuan Ji came in and announced, "Master, Yuan Yu, the master of the fifth branch family, is outside the courtyard."
Yuan Li raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that the head of the house had invited Yuan Yu to come long ago. Did her strategy of retreating in order to advance play into the hands of the head of the house?
But no matter what, if she got the promise from the family leader, as long as Shushun advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, she could become the deputy captain of the guard.
Yuan Qian said to Yuan Ji, "Let him come in."
He turned to look at Yuan Li, "Go and deal with the matter you caused, and then hand over the affairs in your hands to Yuan Yu."
When Yuan Yu received Yuan Qi from Yuan Quanyou, he pulled Yuan Qi aside and asked, "Who gave you the courage to instruct Yuan Li's people to do things!?"
"Why do you want to expose your talent?"
"Dad", Yuan Qi broke away from Yuan Yu's hand, "They did something wrong! It wasn't me. It was me who helped them discover that the ore in the warehouse was stolen in time, and even the head of the family is on our side, dad, you What are you afraid of?"
Yuan Yu really wanted to slap his stupid son awake! Unfortunately, they were already in trouble.
The water in the owner's house is so deep that he will be submerged even if he doesn't pay attention!
Yuan Yu whispered, "Do you know that the head of the family has asked me to concurrently serve as the deputy captain of the family's guard?"
"He asked me to replace Yuan Li, so I offended the people in Yuan Li's group, and all this is because of you!"
Yuan Qi said inexplicably, "Master, what does this mean?"
"What does he mean? You idiot, he is optimistic about your talent and your courage, but he is also deliberately testing you. If you can't stand still, you will be someone else's whetstone!"
Yuan Yu said with some sadness, "And for me to be the deputy captain of the main bodyguard is to involve the entire fifth branch to serve as your foil! To pave the way for you!"
"If you go up, the fifth branch will thrive. If you fall to the bottom, the fifth branch will be shattered with you!"
Yuan Qi didn't think that deeply at all, he just did things with passion.
The ore warehouse was stolen. He didn't want to and couldn't take responsibility, so he had to speak out. He couldn't give in even in front of the head of the house. He always remembered that he was born in the fifth branch of the family, and walking in the head of the house represented the fifth.
After the separation, he could not let others doubt or look down on the fifth branch.
Yuan Quanyou said something wrong and did something wrong, which brought glory to the entire family and disgraced him. He must speak out, even if he refutes him with weak words. This is what he must do when he grew up in the Yuan family.
But at this time, he did not expect that because of his passion, he would bring danger to the fifth branch family and involve the fifth branch family in disputes. Even his father was just a pawn of the family leader.
Yuan Yu has always known that Yuan Qi is very smart, but such smart people are just immature chess pieces in the eyes of the master's scheming people.
All he can do now is try his best to find out who stole the ore from the warehouse.
"Come with me, let's find the thief first, and then think about other things!"
"If you can't even do your first job well, I might as well resign as deputy captain of the guard and take you home honestly."
For several days, there was no progress in the theft of the warehouse, but the weapon refining competition held by Yuancheng started in full swing.
What Wei Zhuo told the innkeeper that he wanted to participate in the weapon-refining competition was certainly true.
He also really wanted to see the world's weapon refining skills, and he was very interested in his father's statement that Yuan's Nine Turns Technique was derived from Wei's weapon refining skills.
He also heard that dozens of people from the Yuan clan would participate in the competition.
He brought Chen Shui
The materials are used to refine the spiritual weapon directly on site.
This is the first level for the Yuan family to select the weapon refiners. Given the same materials, see who can combine the materials better and refine a higher-grade spiritual weapon.
This is certainly not a problem for Wei Zhuo, a fifth-grade weapon refiner.
I saw that he was ingeniously preparing to refine a red tassel gun using boxwood as the main material and huxinmu and hematite as auxiliary materials!
Of course Wei Zhuo would not release the fire dragon to refine the materials at the scene. Once the fire dragon came out, he would become a living target.
He used the earth fire provided in the weapon refining competition. There were still a lot of impurities in this earth fire, but it was still barely usable.
He first used earth fire to remove part of the impurities from the two pieces of hematite, then he took out his usual iron hammer and slowly hammered the hematite into the shape of a gun!
The weapon-refining technique he used in this step was made from mainland China on the East Pole Continent, and it was a common technique that basically anyone who studies weapon-refining would be exposed to.
But even for ordinary exercises, the effectiveness of the exercises will vary greatly depending on the person who uses them!
And when Wei Zhuoyun picked up the hammer and pounded the hematite, he became the focus of the audience.
