After Zhou Tian and Hu Sanhai walked out of Ye Mansion, they were still a little reluctant to leave. However, his departure would not only make his father less worried, but most importantly, it would prevent Youyou from being implicated.
But if he left like this, he was afraid that Youyou would really marry Wang Zilun. Thinking of this, he felt sad in his heart and stopped in his tracks.
"Zhou Tian, you just said you wanted me to lead the way. Don't you want to go back to your hometown to see me? Then follow me directly to the imperial city..."
Hu Sanhai was still a little hesitant, walking forward and talking, but when he turned around, Zhou Tian was standing still at the door of Ye Mansion.
At this time in Ye Mansion, Zhou Liting and the elders he brought have been in a quiet room.
Zhou Liting's words made Ye Wensheng somewhat curious.
So he asked his wife to take care of Youyou first, and he left the room with them.
"Then please ask the elders to move to the central hall."
Ye Wensheng led these people to the central hall and ordered his servants to serve tea and water, which was very polite.
"Elder Ye, don't bother. Tian'er is leaving now. Just say a few words and I will go back. Calling these elders here today is also a testimony to what I said."
Ye Wensheng sat in the middle of the hall and looked at the elders in front of him. Although there were not many in number, they did not have much contact with each other on weekdays. He thought they were in the same group as Zhou Liting.
He picked up the tea and put it down again. He thought about it carefully for a moment, but he still didn't know what they were going to say.
"Whatever you want to say, just say it. No need to pretend."
Ye Wensheng didn't want to guess anymore.
Zhou Liting looked at the elders behind him out of the corner of his eye, took a few steps forward, raised his eyebrows and smiled at Ye Wensheng.
"Haha, my Tian'er won the martial arts competition and will go to the imperial city to enter the academy today. As his father, I am extremely proud, so I should also claim the position of patriarch."
After saying that, he turned around to look at the elders and thought for a while with his hands behind his back.
"We all agree that you will become the patriarch of the Xuantian Sect. We are here to congratulate you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Wensheng stood up from his seat, not knowing whether he was happy or what to do.
After taking a few steps forward, I suddenly felt something was wrong. I stood firm again, tensed my throat, and pretended to be calm with my eyes.
"Zhou Liting, have you thought about it? If you want to regret it, it's still too late."
When he asked this question, Ye Wensheng also felt somewhat guilty, fearing that Zhou Liting would take back what he just said on the spur of the moment.
Seeing his triumphant look, Zhou Liting glanced at him with disdain, and then said again: "Exactly, we have decided to let you be the patriarch of Xuantian Sect. In the future, we will also ask Patriarch Ye to be the leader of Xuantian Sect.
development considerations.”
Zhou Liting had actually wanted to make a decision on this matter for a long time, but it was delayed due to the Zhou Tian martial arts competition.
This time I just happened to say it, and the pressure in my heart was relieved a lot.
Firstly, it can stop Ye Wensheng from talking about his wife Bai Susu. Secondly, it can completely solve Ye Wensheng's annoying trouble. Thirdly, it can allow Zhou Tian to go to the academy to study without any distractions.
Forget about Ye Wensheng spreading rumors everywhere and bringing bad influence to Zhou Tian. The Imperial City is no better than Tianqian Town. Once something happens, not only will he not be able to help, but Zhou Tian will easily get into trouble.
Taking into account the pros and cons, Zhou Liting's move has hundreds of benefits and no harm.
Ye Wensheng heard every word clearly, and then responded excitedly: "Since Elder Zhou has made the decision, I, Ye Wensheng, will no longer shirk the blame. I also ask all the elders for your support in the future."
Zhou Liting looked at the thunderous appearance of his tile cauldron and shrugged his shoulders.
"One more thing, I want to ask Chief Ye for advice."
Now that Ye Wensheng is the clan leader, he must act like he is talking. Even if he didn't do this before, Zhou Liting, who has been the clan leader of the Xuantian Sect for many years, cannot break the rules.
He bowed to Ye Wensheng, which made Ye Wensheng almost flattered. He didn't know where to move his hands and said hurriedly.
"Elder Zhou, there is no need to be so polite. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
"I wonder if Youyou really wants to marry Wang Zilun, the eldest son of Elder Wang's family?"
Zhou Liting's words were mixed with yin and yang, and mixed with anger and resentment. For a moment, Ye Wensheng didn't know how to answer.
"My wife usually makes the decision regarding my little daughter. Can I ask my wife's opinion later and let me know?"
Ye Wensheng's voice gradually became much lower, because he knew that Zhou Liting's promise to him as the patriarch of the Xuantian Sect must be conditional. It seemed that Youyou's marriage was a bargaining chip, so he naturally had to be more cautious.
But Zhou Liting didn't think so. He was just pretending to be beaten, but he still had some luck and hoped that Ye Wensheng would give up the idea of getting married.
"Well then, I'll be waiting for the good news from Patriarch Ye."
After saying that, Shuixiu and the other elders walked out of the central hall and walked away.
Zhou Liting unloaded his heavy burden and walked out of Ye Mansion. He was as light as a swallow, his expression was refreshing, and the spring breeze was blowing in front of him, making him look very comfortable.
"Clan Leader Zhou... ah no, Elder Zhou, you let Ye Wensheng become the clan leader so easily, aren't you afraid that he will come to trouble you in the future?"
The elders who came with him were a little uneasy.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Ye Wensheng wants this position. He has been thinking about it since my wife Bai Susu committed suicide. Now that he gets what he wants, he will not come to trouble me."
"I know his character very well. Don't worry, everyone, just go back, haha."
After Zhou Liting scrawled a few words, he strode towards the mansion.
"Master, what were you talking about just now? You seem to be very happy."
Ye Wensheng was naturally happy when he got the position of clan leader. Madam's question made him feel nervous.
"Madam, please quickly send someone to the homes of Elder Xuanyuan and Elder Wang to tell them that the position of clan leader is already guaranteed and there is no need to think about it any more."
"What? Master, are you saying that your position as patriarch has been firmly established? Is this what Zhou Liting and the elders came here just now to talk about?"
His wife was surprised when she heard this.
"Yes, probably because his son has been admitted to the academy and he no longer has any obsessions in his heart."
"Oh, by the way, let's postpone the marriage to the eldest son of Elder Wang's family for as long as possible. Go ahead."
Ye Wensheng's sudden procrastination left his wife baffled.
"Master? This..."
"Oh, madam! I originally agreed to this marriage just to make that Zhou Tian angry. Now that I have obtained the position of clan leader, and that Zhou Tian has gone to the imperial city, there is no need to marry Wang Zi Lun."
"This Wang Zilun only knows how to study and doesn't know how to study Qi. Even Zhou Tian can't beat him. If you marry him, how will you protect our family Youyou in the future? Listen to me and send a smart person to discuss this matter with Elder Wang.
Let them talk and go."
Just as Ye Wensheng finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound outside the central hall.
It turned out to be Ye Wensheng.
He was holding a plate of fruit and just walked out of Youyou's room.
Hearing the conversation between him and his wife, it was like a bolt from the blue, and he accidentally dropped the plate in his hand to the ground.
"Wang Zi Lun? How did you..."
Ye Wensheng was instantly embarrassed. He walked outside the central hall and looked at Wang Zilun to explain.
But before he could open his mouth, Wang Zilun said first: "Chief Ye, you should be able to change your mind now. In this case, I will not disturb Youyou anymore. Thank you for entrusting Youyou to me these days. I did not fight for it."
After saying that, he turned around and left the central hall and walked toward the door unconvinced.
"Hey? Wang Zilun! Wang..."
"Needless to say, since he heard it, it's better to save you the trouble of sending someone to tell him."
"How is Yuyou?"
.......
After the incident, everything seemed to have disappeared. Zhou Liting returned to his house and saw Zhou Tian still covering his abdomen and carrying his luggage on one shoulder.
"Do you want to recuperate your injury?"
After that, he looked behind him and saw that Hu Sanhai was also ready.
"Oh, that's right, you are still injured and you can recuperate. I will tell the old master as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if it is a day or two late."
When Hu Sanhai saw Zhou Liting's expression, he knew what he wanted to say, so he quickly came to Zhou Tianyou.
"It's okay. We agreed to leave today, so we will leave today."
It seemed that Zhou Tian wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. Zhou Liting sighed and patted his shoulder.
He said earnestly: "Don't worry, I know what you are thinking."
"Ye Wensheng has promised me that he will not let Youyou marry Wang Zilun. As for whether she will marry someone else when she wakes up after you leave, I can't guarantee that."
Zhou Tian was stunned for a moment, then got excited and almost opened the wound again.
"Dad? What did you say? Ye Wensheng won't let Youyou get married?"
"Yes, he agreed. As for why, don't ask me. I will find the answer myself in the future."
Zhou Liting knew that he wanted to ask, so he silenced him in time.
Zhou Tian rolled his eyes, and his mood indeed improved a lot. The feeling of relief made him gradually feel happier.
During this trip to the imperial city, he had too much pressure and too much guilt, especially for the marriage of Youyou, which was caused by himself. Now that his father has settled the matter, he feels much better.
The long-lost smile gradually appeared.
"Haha, great, great. As long as I don't marry Wang Zilun, as for the future, that is her choice. I just want to live up to it, haha."
Seeing Zhou Tian's silly smile, Zhou Liting also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then...Dad, I'm leaving."
Just now he was beaming with joy, but now Zhou Tian's face has darkened again. With his father who has been with him for more than ten years, and this mansion, there are too many reluctances and complicated emotions in his heart.
"Let's go! Listen to Mr. Hu and Lao Xu more along the way. With them by your side, this journey should be fine."
"Master! Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to the young master."
At this time, Lao Xu also ran over from the courtyard and took a lot of large and small bags.
"okay!"
"Huh? By the way, Tian'er! Wait a moment!"
Zhou Liting hurriedly rushed into the study, and came out of the room after a while with a sword in his hand. Zhou Tian had never seen this sword before, and had never heard his father mention it.
Because the sea of qi in his body was destroyed, Zhou Liting ran like a normal person, panting.
"This sword belongs to your mother. It's called Luan Feng. Except for the scabbard, this sword is filled with your mother's true energy. I usually don't tell you because your energy is locked in the sea. I'm afraid you will suffer the consequences if you use this sword."
Harmful."
"Since you are going to travel far this time, the old master of the academy will definitely break through the sea of qi in your body. When the time comes, using this sword will definitely be even more powerful."
Zhou Liting touched the sword repeatedly and then handed it to Zhou Tian.
"Although our Xuantian Sect uses fists to cultivate Qi, your mother can practice both fisting and sword. I hope you can too."
