"Miss, why are you sorry? Since we came with you, we have already made up our minds. Please give me the medicine."
Hong Zhu's voice came immediately. As she spoke, she took the pills from Su Zhirou's hand and ate them in one gulp. After she ate, she gave the remaining two pills to Zhang Yifeng and Qi Jiaruo.
The two of them took the elixir and ate it in one gulp without any hesitation.
In fact, Zhang Yifeng admired the courage of Hongzhu and Qi Jiaruo. He dared to take poison because he was sure that he was invulnerable to poison, but these two people only did it because of their loyalty.
"Miss, I'm going down then."
Seeing that the three of them had swallowed the poison, Tuoba Fengyu's voice came again. After the words were finished, the people had left.
As soon as Tuoba Fengyu left, Su Zhirou asked with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"Miss, don't worry, it's okay. Since it's a chronic poison, it's naturally not taking effect yet."
"That's good."
…
On this day, Zhang Yifeng and others stayed in the supervisor's family.
According to the rules of the supervisor family, all servants and entourage once they enter here, they will never be able to leave. Even if Su Zhirou goes back to visit relatives in the future, she will not be able to take them with her.
In other words, from this moment on, Zhang Yifeng, Qi Jiaruo and Hongzhu were imprisoned on the island.
To them, the supervisor family is a prison.
The next day, a grand banquet was held in the palace.
Almost all the direct descendants of Tuoba were present. This banquet was to welcome the newcomers and let everyone get to know each other.
Zhang Yifeng, Qi Jiaruo and others are not qualified to participate in such a banquet. They can only wait outside the main hall.
This is not a place where Su Zhirou has the final say. Tuoba Yu's rules will not set a precedent for anyone. Su Zhirou, the adopted sister, can't do it either.
Although, the banquet was to welcome Su Zhirou, Tuoba Long, and another descendant of the Tuoba family, Tuoba Liang.
But Su Zhirou became the only protagonist.
The reason is simple, he is Tuoba Yu's adopted sister.
Everyone who sees her must bow respectfully.
It is true as Tuoba Yu said, one person is inferior to ten thousand people. It is a pity that there are not ten thousand people in the direct lineage of Tuoba family.
The banquet lasted for two hours before it stopped.
Tuoba Yu personally sent Su Zhirou back.
"Brother Yu, you don't have to send me off in person." Su Zhirou was a little flattered.
Tuoba Yu said calmly: "I send it to you because you are my adopted sister. In addition, I want to ask you something."
"What are you talking about?" Su Zhirou asked doubtfully.
Tuoba Yu said calmly: "Is Tuoba Long your fiancé?"
Su Zhirou was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "He proposed marriage to the Su family. My father agreed. It is because of the Tuoba family that my Su family is qualified to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony."
"Really? Then I have to thank him. Otherwise, our Tuoba family will miss out on the descendant who has the highest blood affinity with our ancestors in history."
"Ah? Am I the most compatible?" Su Zhirou's body trembled.
"Of course, the power of my bloodline is only 50% consistent with that of my ancestors. Do you know how my bloodline chooses the head of the family?" Tuoba Yu suddenly asked.
Su Zhirou asked doubtfully: "How to choose?"
"It's very simple. Whoever's bloodline is most consistent with that of the ancestors will be the head of the family! In other words, as long as I abdicate, you will be the next head of the family. You will shoulder the mission of the Tuoba family and continue to maintain the operation of this world."
"Ah? I am the next head of the family?"
Su Zhirou was confused at the time.
Not to mention she was confused, Hong Zhu, Zhang Yifeng and others who were following her were also a little confused.
The head of the supervisor family actually determines the heir based on blood compatibility?
Why is this?
Is the power of blood so important to the regulator family?
It seems that the Regulator family has many secrets.
He wanted to improve his cultivation level as much as possible, preferably to the Golden Core stage. In that case, he would be more risk-free when he inquired about information.
In the golden elixir stage, shadow cultivation will be more stable and quieter than now!
Zhang Yifeng did not dare to release his spiritual consciousness in the supervisor family, but the silent shadow practice was his best way to explore the surroundings.
After the elixir is formed, the effect of the secret technique of shadow cultivation can be relatively maximized.
"Yes, you are the next head of the family. This is why everyone respects you. In the Tuoba family, blood is the most important, and strength is only second. There are many powerful people in the Tuoba family, but with powerful
People with bloodline power are extremely rare."
"Brother Yu, I don't understand why we need the power of blood? Also, you keep talking about mission and responsibility. What is Tuoba's mission? What is his responsibility?"
"Tomorrow, you will know. Tomorrow I will take you to a place. Remember, you can't take anyone with you."
"Can't we also bring personal guards and maids?"
"No. Well, you have taken the topic astray. I am telling you this because I want to tell you that if you don't like Tuoba Long, this marriage will be over."
"ah?"
Su Zhirou was stunned for a moment, and then she was secretly happy. She was still anxious. With her current identity and status, was she qualified to refuse Tuoba Long's marriage? She was even thinking about when would be the right time to marry Tuoba Long.
Yu mentioned this matter, but unexpectedly Tuoba Yu took the initiative to talk about it before she opened her mouth.
"What? Didn't you understand what I meant?"
Tuoba Yu frowned slightly.
"No, Brother Yu, um, I really don't like Tuoba Long." Su Zhirou then answered.
Tuoba Yu nodded and said: "I saw it at the banquet. That Tuoba Long has been pestering you, but you ignored him. Don't worry, I will solve this matter for you tomorrow.
"
"Really? Thank you, Brother Yu."
Su Zhirou was smiling all over her face. There was always someone who could solve the problems that caused her the most headaches.
Tuoba Yu said that the marriage was cancelled. Who in Tuoba's family would dare to say no?
"Okay, let's go back and rest. You drank a lot just now."
Tuoba Yu did not enter the courtyard, but turned around and left.
Su Zhirou watched Tuoba Yu leave and then entered the courtyard.
There were several more servants in the yard, some were pruning flowers and plants, and some were sweeping the floor.
Seeing Su Zhirou, everyone bowed down and saluted.
Apparently, these are the servants Tuoba Fengyu called.
These servants were dressed simply and had a number embroidered on their chests.
Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine.
"What are your names?" Su Zhirou asked several servants.
Several servants raised their heads, but none of them spoke.
At this moment, Tuoba Fengyu's voice came, and he didn't know when he appeared in the yard.
"Miss Rou, these people can't speak. When you call them, just call them by the number on their chest."
"Can't speak?" Su Zhirou was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something and said, "Open your mouths."
Hearing this, the three servants opened their mouths at the same time and were very obedient.
"this……"
Su Zhirou and others' bodies trembled, and all three of them had their tongues cut out.
