The family elders present looked at each other, and most of them nodded in agreement.
Although a small group of elders were obviously hesitant, when they saw that the two clan elders who came today were silent, they could only shake their heads secretly, knowing that things must not be violated.
At the family meeting, the elders and clan elders were all present. Once no one objected, Gu Lanxi would be completely deprived of his status as a disciple.
"Oh? Depriving Gu Lanxi of his status as a family heir disciple, why didn't anyone inform me about such a big thing?"
Just at this time.
Suddenly, a calm and authoritative voice came from outside the meeting hall, which made everyone in the meeting hall couldn't help but change their expressions.
Then they saw an old man slowly walking in from outside. He arrived before anyone else, which made many family elders present feel like they were breathless and suffocated.
When they saw the person coming, they all quickly stood up and saluted.
Including Gu Qiufeng, the current head of the family, all stepped forward quickly.
"Mr. Di, why are you here?"
"What? You don't welcome me? Or is there something that I can't know?"
Boom!
The person who came was none other than Gu Zidi, the most senior elder of the Gu family.
His eyes swept across Gu Qiufeng coldly, then looked at the other elders present, and finally landed on the other two clan elders present.
The two clan elders also stood up and bowed their hands in salute. Although they were all clan elders, the clan elders were also divided among themselves!
The two of them are one generation lower than Mr. Di in terms of seniority. Even in terms of strength, they are not much higher than Mr. Di. The most important thing is that these two clan elders are from the standpoint of Gu Qiufeng and his son.
The position is different.
When they saw Mr. Di appear, they naturally knew that today's affairs were not going so smoothly.
"I've met Mr. Di."
The two clan elders slightly cupped their hands.
"You just said that you want to deprive this girl Gu Lanxi of her successor disciple status?"
The crutch in Mr. Di's hand was heavily inserted into the ground. The terrifying aura that erupted at that moment made the other two clan elders present slightly lose their minds.
To be able to become the patriarch of a family, one must at least cultivate to the realm of the Immortal Lord!
The two of them thought that if they were not as powerful as Mr. Di, they were at least about the same, but at this moment they clearly felt that Mr. Di appeared to exert pressure.
Especially the aura revealed by this hand just now made both of them frown.
"Mr. Di's cultivation has improved further than before!"
"It seems that this time, things are a little troublesome."
The hearts of the two clan elders sank. There were a total of eight clan elders in the Gu family! That is to say, eight powerful men in the realm of Immortal Lords! But three of them had long since stopped caring about worldly affairs and only thought about cultivating and making breakthroughs in their lifetime.
Among the remaining clan elders, two are on the side of Gu Qiufeng and his son. Counting Gu Tianshou, the previous head of the clan, they are now one of the eight clan elders! They can be said to be the most powerful branch of the Gu family today.
Usually other elders dare not speak out. The only person who can reverse this situation is Mr. Di. Looking at the entire Gu family, he is the only one.
"Mr. Di, Gu Lanxi's collusion with the Chen family and the Liao family has put our Gu family in the current predicament. We cannot just sit idly by and ignore it, both emotionally and rationally. I hope Mr. Di will forgive me."
Gu Qiufeng was the head of the family after all. He took a deep breath at this moment and then said slowly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Mr. Di snort heavily!
At that moment, even though his cultivation had reached the realm of ninth-grade Xuanxian, he still felt an irresistible aura, which shocked him so much that he took several steps back. The blood in his chest boiled for a long time before he suppressed it.
His expression changed slightly. He wanted to be angry but knew that this was not the time to be angry, but his face turned cold.
"Mr. Di, what do you mean?"
After all, he is also the head of the family. Even if the status of the clan elder is higher than that of the family head, he rarely interferes in the family head's decisions. Unless it is a major event that endangers the entire Gu family, otherwise the clan elder's intervention means that he is expressing his disapproval of the current family head.
dissatisfied.
This is no small matter!
Once word spreads out, it means that the family head and clan elders are at odds with each other and cannot be reconciled, which is something that any Immortal Sect family is not willing to see.
The other elders also knew that something was in trouble.
"With this decision, have you asked me for my opinion?"
As soon as these words came out!
Everyone present frowned.
Gu Qiufeng's expression turned green and red. Mr. Di's words had clearly made it clear that he wanted to interfere in the decision of the head of the family, which was equivalent to openly breaking his skin.
In the past, no one would believe it.
Even if there are any conflicts, at least they maintain a harmonious state on the surface.
Who would have thought that Mr. Di would suddenly attack today!
"What does Mr. Yi Di mean? How should we deal with it?"
Gu Qiufeng also put away his previous respectful attitude. After all, he is also the head of the family. Since Mr. Di doesn't give him any face, he naturally doesn't need to give any face.
The voice also became cold, even with a smell of gunpowder.
When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened.
The two clan elders hurriedly advised: "Master, please calm down. Mr. Di must be thinking about the family, why don't we discuss this matter again?"
"No need! I will never agree to this!"
However, no one expected that Mr. Di would not accept this trick at all. He snorted heavily on the spot, which also made Gu Qiufeng's face become quite ugly.
By this time, both sides had completely disregarded their positions.
"Mr. Di really wants to disregard the interests of the family and protect Gu Lanxi? Mr. Di must think carefully! Even if you are the highest in the family, you are also the ancestor's younger brother, with a distinguished status! We all respect him extremely! But this matter involves the entire valley.
The life and death of our family cannot be tolerated at all! I hope Mr. Di will think carefully about it."
Gu Qiufeng's words were quite rude, implying that Di Lao relied on his old age to meddle in this matter.
There is a smell of gunpowder in it, and there is a faint hint that if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.
"Oh? What if I insist on doing this?"
Who is Mr. Di?
In terms of seniority in the Gu family, there is really no one with a higher seniority than him. In addition, as one of the eight clan elders, he does have the right to interfere in the family head's decision.
Even if he wants, he can directly convene a meeting with the clan elders! Choose another family head!
It's just that for countless years, no elder of the Gu family has ever used this right. After all, once it reaches that point, it means that the huge Gu family has begun to fall apart, with internal and external troubles, and the decline of the family is not far away.
But with this current situation, the elders present are a little worried. Is it really going to come to this?
"Mr. Di, you can't put your family in danger just for Gu Lanxi!"
"Yes! I hope Mr. Di will consider it carefully and don't act out of emotion!"
"We all know that Mr. Di, you value Gu Lanxi very much, but although she also has the blood of our Gu family, she is not a real child of the Gu family after all. Why put our Gu family in danger for the sake of an outsider?"
Several elders opened their mouths to persuade.
They are all elders who stand in Gu Qiufeng's lineage, so naturally they want to find ways to expel Gu Lanxi from the family!
Everyone was talking to each other, but Gu Qiufeng had a cold face and said nothing.
After everyone finished speaking, Mr. Di looked at them indifferently and swept his eyes one by one. The elders all did not dare to look at him and their eyes wandered away.
Finally, Mr. Di's eyes fell on the only other two clan elders present.
"You also agree with this?"
The two clan elders hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "This matter can be regarded as the best option to solve our Gu family's predicament now."
"Foolish!"
Suddenly, Mr. Di roared angrily!
The two clan elders looked a bit ugly. After all, who dared to accuse them face to face? It was Mr. Di who dared to say this because of his seniority.
"Since you said that Gu Lanxi secretly colluded with the Chen family and the Liao family, where is the evidence? There is no evidence to deprive the family of a descendant's disciple status without any reason, and even expel him from the family! If this matter spreads, wouldn't it be a joke to outsiders? It's so embarrassing.
The decision to make relatives happy and enemies happy is the result of your careful consideration?"
These words of persistence made some of the elders present lower their heads.
In fact, they knew very well that Gu Qiufeng was just using the Wu Lou incident to avenge his private revenge.
But they also didn't dare to speak.
And at this time.
One of the two clan elders smiled bitterly and said: "What Elder Di said is not unreasonable, but this time things are too strange. Gu Lanxi has never thought of returning to the clan in so many years, why at this time? And the person beside her
The whereabouts of the boy named Li Ye are currently unknown, and I suspect that he is responsible for this incident!"
"Yes! Mr. Di, don't you doubt it? Such a young person can possess the strength of a ninth-grade Xuanxian or even close to the realm of an Immortal Lord. How can such a person be a casual cultivator with no worries? Except for the cultivation of some powerful forces.
There are only two or three talents in our Gu family over the years!"
They are all the elders of the family. Although they stand on the side of Gu Qiufeng and Gu Tianshou, it does not mean that they really don't care about the family's life and death, and they are all just for their own interests.
After all, when they are in this situation, unless they can step further into the Immortal Realm! Otherwise, this life has come to an end, there is nothing to fight for, and the so-called power and status are no longer important in their eyes.
The reason for this is that they determined that Gu Tianshou and Gu Qiufeng could lead the Gu family further and control the Gu family far better than others.
That's why the two clan elders stood firmly on Gu Qiufeng's side.
"What the two clan elders said is absolutely true, and the head of the clan thinks the same way. Regardless of whether Gu Lanxi really colluded with the Chen family and the Liao family, the boy next to her is extremely suspicious! Now that his whereabouts are unknown, people have to doubt this matter.
Does it have anything to do with him?”
Gu Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "Besides! According to the truth that the head of the family learned, something happened in the martial arts building that day! It was this son who made an appointment with Gu Taiqing to compete in martial arts! And it was such a coincidence that people from the Chen family and the Liao family actually
Knowing this, suddenly several immortal kings joined forces to completely destroy the Wu Tower, and no one survived! If all this is a coincidence, who among you here will believe it? "
Everyone looked at each other, and most of them shook their heads.
"Yes, this matter is so strange and coincidental! Moreover, Li Ye's whereabouts are unknown, so it's no wonder that the head of the family is suspicious."
"Unless we can find Li Ye and ask for the truth, our Gu family will have a hard time talking about it. The Chen family and the Liao family are now biting back, insisting that the destruction of the Wu Building was because our Gu family staged a painful trick! The purpose is to take advantage of the situation.
Get rid of the strong men from all the forces in Tianyuan City and put the blame on the Chen family and the Liao family at the same time! Those forces are very dissatisfied with this now. If we can't give them an explanation, even if our Gu family can survive this time, we will not be able to survive in the future.
It will be difficult to move forward!"
The Gu family is indeed powerful!
It has suppressed the Chen family and the Liao family in Tianyuan City, and has great potential to become the number one immortal family.
However, there are many large and small forces in Tianyuan City. In the past, they were forced to rely on the Gu family to take orders. But if the Gu family cannot handle it well this time, once those forces turn against each other and fall into the arms of the Chen family and the Liao family, the Gu family will be in trouble in the future.
Faced with the disadvantage of being surrounded by powerful enemies.
For a long time, even if the Gu family can still maintain stability, their ambition to completely dominate Tianyuan City cannot be realized.
"Besides! Gu Taiqing is our Gu family's most promising genius after our ancestors to go to Taichen Palace to practice, and is expected to break through to the Immortal Realm in the future. It is a hope for our Gu family! But now because of Gu Lanxi, his life and death are unknown!
For this reason alone, no one will object to depriving Gu Lanxi of his status as a disciple and expelling him from the family!"
Gu Qiufeng sneered coldly, and no one refuted it.
After all, Gu Taiqing's identity is too special. Even if three ninth-grade immortals die in the Gu family's martial arts building, they are far less than the value brought by one Gu Taiqing!
It can be said that anyone in the Gu family can die, but only Gu Taiqing can't have any trouble!
"So, if Mr. Di still thinks about the family, he should not interfere in this matter!"
Gu Qiufeng finally snorted coldly.
At this time, if Mr. Di insists on going his own way, he believes that even if the other clan elders who are in seclusion know about it, they will definitely support his decision.
"Then I insist on objecting!?"
Mr. Di also had a cold face.
Everyone present secretly said something bad.
really!
Gu Qiufeng sneered: "If Mr. Di insists on doing this, then this matter will only alarm several other clan elders and convene a clan elders meeting! In addition, the Chen family and the Liao family must give an explanation!"
The so-called explanation is naturally Gu Lanxi!
The Gu family directly expels a disciple from the family, which is the best explanation for any force. Although it cannot be completely dismissed, the forces in Tianyuan City are not fools!
After all, the Gu family is a behemoth, and they cannot be naive enough to think that this incident can trip up the Gu family, and making the Gu family give in is already considered the best result.
And the Chen family and the Liao family!
This is the real mastermind behind the scenes, and he still behaves well when he gets an advantage, so why not?
Anyone with a discerning eye will understand this.
However, the Gu family didn't have any evidence, so they had no choice but to swallow this loss.
