"Ancestor, this is not possible! How can our noble Suzaku family make such a choice? Ancestor, please think twice!" The second elder burst into tears when he came back to his senses. He stood up from his seat and knelt on the ground.
, while kowtowing and speaking in a voice full of grief.
"Yes, ancestors, you can't do this. Our Suzaku family has a long history and profound heritage. We have noble Suzaku blood, how can we bow to others?"
"Ancestor, please take back your decision!"
"Please, ancestor, take back your decision!"
In the meeting hall, there were more than a dozen people, all of whom knelt on the ground with sad faces, asking their ancestors to take back their lives.
"What are you doing?" The young and handsome Ximen family ancestor raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "I just said that the Suzaku family can be separated. After all, it is difficult to unify this matter, and many of you will
I can’t understand it. So I’m not forcing you, you can choose to refuse. Moreover, I will say something here and ask the head of the family to agree.”
Ximen Shanyue was slightly startled, and then said with a respectful attitude: "Ancestor, please speak."
"That's right. Since we people want to leave the family and join Teng Fei, it's best not to take away too many resources from the family. The second ancestor and I, as well as three or four of them, plus you
What we agreed to before was only about half. We, the people, can only take away one-fifth of the assets of the entire Ximen family. As for the real estate, we should leave it to them."
"This..." Ximen Shanyue hesitated. After countless years of accumulation, the wealth of the Suzaku family has reached a quite astonishing figure. To be fair, even one-fifth of the assets is already quite astonishing. But it is quite
Regarding the overall assets of the Suzaku family, these are really not many.
"You don't have to worry. Teng Fei was able to agree to the conditions proposed by Qing'er beforehand. What he values is definitely not our Ximen family's property. Moreover, after we join Teng Fei, we should soon get a large territory and industry.
Have you forgotten the White Tiger family?" The ancestor of the Ximen family smiled slightly and said: "Instead of letting the Tian family in Northern Xinjiang take care of those properties, it is better to leave them to us directly. After all, we have taken refuge with Teng Fei, and we belong to him.
There are people."
Ximen Shanyue was a little surprised at first, but then a look of understanding appeared in his eyes. He looked at his ancestor with eyes full of admiration. He smiled and said: "My ancestor is far-sighted, Shanyue admires me!"
The other people who originally disagreed all came to their senses. In terms of fighting spirit, they may not be the best, but when it comes to IQ, these senior members of the Suzaku family are not bad at all.
They quickly thought that their ancestor’s decision would cause the Ximen family to fall into division and even be ridiculed by many people. But it would gain real benefits!
First of all, the Wang family will definitely have some scruples. Although the Ximen family is divided, after all, the same Suzaku blood flows. Once Teng Fei is angered, the Wang family may not be able to bear it.
Secondly, the Ximen family will suddenly have countless more properties. You must know that before the Ouyang family was destroyed, after countless years of embezzlement and plunder, the various properties were much more than the Ximen family!
At this time, the ancestor of the Ximen family smiled faintly: "Don't think too much. Don't even think about such ideas as pretending to join Teng Fei and really getting benefits. Once you talk about dividing the family and joining Teng Fei, it's all over.
It's true. Even if those of you who stay are in trouble, if we want to help, we must first obtain Teng Fei's consent, and we must take the initiative to consider Teng Fei's interests. In a word, once the family is separated, it is completely separated.
Family, apart from the same blood, there is nothing else to do with each other!"
The ancestor's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring cold water on many people who had illusions. Many people's mouths twitched, and they muttered maliciously in their hearts: The ancestor must be crazy!
At this time, a knock on the door suddenly came from outside, awakening everyone in the meeting hall.
Because they were discussing matters here, the two ancestors of the Immortal God-Emperor realm sealed the entire discussion hall to ensure that what they discussed would not be leaked.
We had just dealt with several spies planted by the Wang family in the Ximen family, and one of them had even reached the status of a senior deacon. He was only one step away from becoming an outer sect elder as a worshipper!
It was precisely because of this incident that the Ximen family was shocked. The two factions now have a common view on one thing, that is - never compromise with the Wang family!
"Come in." An elder said in a deep voice after taking a look at the family head and ancestors.
The seal in the hall was also removed at the same time.
The person who came in was a deacon from the Ximen family. He took a careful look at the big guys in the hall, and then said: "Someone from the Wang family is here to talk about the marriage. Now, some of the ancestors of the Wang family are below.
I’m waiting in the restaurant lobby.”
These words made everyone in the entire meeting hall look ugly, including the two young-looking ancestors of the Ximen family, who all frowned.
Ximen Shanyue said coldly: "It's too much to bully! What else is there to talk about? Haven't you already rejected them? Whatever you want, just come over! Qing'er..."
As he said that, he glanced at Ximen Qing and said nothing more. Ximen Qing understood and flew out through the window of the meeting hall, directly to the inn where Teng Fei and the others were staying.
Most of the Ximen elders who were originally opposed to joining Teng Fei just twitched their lips but didn't say much.
The Wang family's pressing step by step made them all full of irritation, but they were not as strong as others, so what's the use of being just irritated?
The ancestor of the Ximen family snorted coldly and said: "Go down and meet them first and see what those immortals want to do!"
…
Ximen Qing galloped all the way, wanting to tell Teng Fei the news as soon as possible. At the same time, he also wanted to ask Teng Fei for help, hoping that Teng Fei could scare the Wang family away. By then, some people would probably change their minds.
If the majority of people support joining Teng Fei, then the few remaining people will not be able to stir up much trouble.
Ximen Qing knew that since his ancestors said that the Ximen family could take over most of the original Ouyang family's property after joining Teng Fei, many people who originally disagreed with his proposal have actually been tempted.
After all, dignity, pride, these illusory things can be temporarily put aside in the face of interests that are tempting enough!
…
The quality of this restaurant can be ranked among the best in the entire Shenlong City. The Ximen family took advantage of the location, so they booked the entire restaurant very early. This high-end restaurant can accommodate thousands of people without any problem, and there are more to come.
There are many separate courtyards, pavilions and waterside pavilions, filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the environment is quite pleasant.
The ancestor of the Ximen family, Ximen Canglang, has noble Suzaku blood flowing in his body. When he was young, he was extremely arrogant and had a hot temper. Now that he is old, he looks much calmer, but some things in his bones can never be changed.
of.
"Uncle Six, please calm down later." Another young man in his thirties next to Ximen Canglang said through the message. This person is none other than the second ancestor of the Suzaku family, Ximen Haifeng.
Ximen Canglang smiled faintly and said nothing. He walked down the stairs and pushed open the door leading to the restaurant lobby. There were seven or eight people sitting in the splendidly decorated restaurant lobby seating area. When they heard the movement, they all turned their eyes.
Ximen Canglang sneered and said: "Once upon a time, the Wang family, which was famous for being low-key and forbearing, became so unrestrained and bold? Why, if my girl from the Ximen family doesn't marry your Xuanwu Wang family, you still want to rob her?"
The foreheads of Ximen Haifeng, Ximen Shanyue and others who were accompanying him were all covered with black lines. They thought that this hot-tempered ancestor had not been out of seclusion for tens of thousands of years. He thought that cultivating his mind and nature would make him peaceful, but he did not expect that he was still the same.
So hot.
When he opened his mouth, he insinuated that the Xuanwu bloodline of the Wang family should be a coward...
However, it would be a strange thing for Ximen Canglang, who has pure Suzaku blood flowing in his body, to become peaceful.
"Haha, Brother Canglang is still so hot after not seeing each other for many years. But I don't agree with what Brother Canglang said." A slightly feminine voice sounded, and a man in his thirties was sitting in the middle of the rest area.
The handsome young man looked at Ximen Canglang with a half-smile, and said slowly: "Obviously Wang Qing and your two young men, Ximen Linglong, are in love, how can you say that my Wang family robbed you?"
"Wang Jiu, don't talk about those useless nonsense. My brother has been in seclusion for many years and suddenly realized a great skill. Although he has just started, he feels a little bit itch. Are you interested in going out to practice?" Ximen Canglang said with a devilish smile on his face.
The vicissitudes of life in his eyes disappeared, and he looked like a young swinger.
However, his words made the effeminate young man across from him shrink his pupils slightly, and said with a faint smile: "We old guys are almost dead, so why fight? If we have the time, wouldn't it be better to sit down and have a good talk?
?”
Having just been mocked by Ximen Canglang, Wang Jiu, the ancestor of the Wang family, quickly returned the favor and mocked the Ximen family for being so weak that even the ancestor of the Immortal God Emperor passed away.
"Hey, there are only Suzakus who turned to ashes in the fire, but I have never heard of Xuanwu who charged and died on the battlefield." Ximen Canglang smiled coldly and stood in front of Wang Jiu and others, holding his arms and looking askance.
They said calmly: "My Linglong son will not marry."
At their age and level, many false exchanges have become meaningless. The two of them disliked each other a long time ago, so they trembled a few words, but soon, Ximen Canglang got straight to the point.
, told Wang Jiu: There is no need to discuss this matter.
"Really?" Wang Jiu looked at Ximen Canglang with a half-smile, and then said: "My Wang family has just received a few more distinguished guests. Haha, please come over and introduce them to you."
While talking, the door of the restaurant was opened, and a group of people filed in.
Ximen Canglang raised his head and glanced up. There was no expression on his face, but there was a wave of excitement in his heart. He thought to himself: It seems that not only my Ximen family is working hard to find allies, but the Wang family is also not idle.
"My Excellency, Murong Jinghong, I have heard for a long time that Ximen Canglang's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world. I came here today and really want to ask for advice!" A young man dressed in white, looking to be in his twenties, and as handsome as jade was praised by the stars.
They were crowded in the middle, walking towards this side.
