Almost two or three hours after Hatake Makoto and others left, a news came out from the Wanqian Chamber of Commerce that the fiftieth head of the eight major families, Hatake Fengbaozun, became a saint and became one of the top masters on the continent.
Later, another news came out from the Wanqian Chamber of Commerce that Xuan Sheng Hamu Feng and his wife Yi Hongmei both died, leaving behind a son, Hamu Lin, and among the eight major families, Hatake Zhen served as the 51st head of the family. After that,
News also came out that Lianyue, one of the Four Mysteries, had become a Mysterious Sage. At the same time, the Wanqian Chamber of Commerce canceled the three people's original rankings on the Mysterious Spirit List.
The mainland was talking about it for a while, and the topics before and after tea were all around these pieces of news. For the mainland, which had been peaceful for a long time, several explosive events had happened, and people were naturally extremely interested. As for the eight major families who threatened to kill the murderer
It's Xuanling Mountain who knows how to kill people up the mountain. Some people believe that some people believe that Xuanling Mountain is so powerful.
In response to the discussions of these common people, the three major empires and major forces on the mainland have kept silent. Firstly, they do not dare to discuss, and secondly, they are considering the issue of joining the team. If they join the wrong team, it will be devastating to themselves. As for
It is even more impossible to remain neutral. If you do so, you will push yourself to the sword. No matter which side wins, your future life will not be too easy.
While the mainland was boiling, the eight major families also stopped their actions and no longer thought about any force taking action. This made many forces secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Although after the Black Tiger Gate incident, many forces have understood that these eight major families are nothing more than doing things to other people.
The forces see it and tell everyone that it is impossible to remain neutral.
In Yongfeng City, the streets are full of people's insults, and in a hall of the eight major families in the center of Yongfeng City, only Hatake Makoto, the leader of the eight major families, is here, as well as the grandfather and grandmother.
Next to him was the maid Xiaoqi, holding in her arms the newly full-moon Qimu Lin.
"Xiao Qi, Liu Yun and the others have left, why do you still stay in the clan?" Grandma said softly, with a hint of regret in her voice.
Xiaoqi bit her red lips lightly, lowered her head and said nothing, looking at Qimulin in her arms, a determined look appeared on her face. She suddenly raised her head and looked directly at her grandma, with an extremely solemn and resolute tone that resounded throughout the hall.
"I once promised Hatake that as long as the eight major families don't abandon me, I will give everything I have to the eight major families. I will live as a member of the eight major families and die as a ghost of the eight major families. And I also promised Hongmei to take good care of Xiao Qi.
Mu, I have never forgotten this!"
"Okay, Hatake really did see the right person."
The person who spoke was not Grandpa, Grandma, or Hatake Makoto, but an old man with white hair, short stature, full of wrinkles on his face, his hands behind his back, and his white hair tied with a hemp rope.
He was standing at the door of the hall, looking at Xiaoqi with a smile on his face, and then came to the hall and sat down casually. He didn't look at Hatake Zhen, but just said hello to his grandpa and grandma.
The old man looked very arrogant, but Hatakezhen and Xiaoqi did not dare to neglect. They quickly stood up and bowed. After the old man waved his hand, the two people put away their slightly bowed bodies. The old man glanced at the child in Xiaoqi's arms, with a look in his eyes.
With a hint of sadness, he finally faced Xiaoqi and said with a forced smile: "The little guy back then is no longer what he used to be. You don't have to be too polite to me, an old guy."
"How can I compare with you? I am still a child in front of you." Xiaoqi said respectfully.
"Xiao Qi, don't give this old guy too much face. He's obviously a dying man, but he still lets me play with him and hasn't shown his face for more than ten years."
A word that did not give the old man any face was heard. At the same time, at the door of the hall, an old man and an old woman stood side by side. The old man had a head full of white hair, but there was a bunch of black hair at the sea, which was particularly conspicuous.
The old man was dressed in sackcloth, and the old woman
She looked about fifty years old, but her full head of white hair and aged eyes betrayed her age. The two came to the hall and greeted their grandparents, then sat down immediately. Hatakezhen and Xiaoqi met again
He was about to salute, but was stopped by the old woman.
"Okay, there's no need to talk about so many etiquettes, Xinshui, haven't those two guys come?" The old woman asked the first old man who came in, and also told the old man's name.
In comparison, the old woman's voice was much older than her face.
"Old Dongfang woman, you can't blame me this time. I don't know where those two guys died." Xin Shui said to the old woman.
"Since you're here, they don't have to wait anymore. There must be something delaying them." The old man with this bunch of black hair on Liuhai said indifferently. Seeing this, the other people were not surprised. This old man was born like this.
, it would be a ghost if he laughed that day, this person is none other than an elder figure of the Zhuge clan of the Eight Great Clan, Zhuge Xiao.
"Brother Six is right, let's start talking later." The old woman whom Xin Shui called Dongfang spoke up. This old woman was also an elder of the Dongfang clan. Dongfang Yuan, surprisingly, was behind Dongfang Yuan in speaking.
No one spoke, they all looked like their eyes were looking at their noses, and their noses were looking at their hearts.
After a moment of silence, seeing that no one spoke, Grandma looked around and said: "We two old guys don't have much time left, it's time to take action." Grandma spoke calmly, as if she was telling an extremely common thing.
There was no emotional uproar, but others were shocked.
In the eight major families, everyone knows the identity of the grandfather and grandma. They are old servants who have been in the eight major families all their lives. They have watched Hatake Zhen and other family heads grow up, so Hatake Zhen and others are very concerned about
He was also very respectful, which was indeed the case, but it was also like this. Others did not know the identity of this second son, but the few people present knew it very well. They were shocked at the moment. Apart from being shocked, they did not know how to speak.
"You two elders..."
"Alright, Xin Shui, this is God's destiny. We can't disobey it, but what are your plans?" Grandma looked around again and said calmly, still looking that indifferent.
"Little sister Dongfang and I will listen to you two elders." Zhuge Xiao looked respectful, without the aura of a superior person at all. He was completely like a child acting obediently in front of his elders. He originally acted like Zhuge Xiao,
It should be very funny, but no one laughed at it.
"What do you think about the old man who believes in immortality?" Dongfang Yuan turned to Xin Shui and asked.
"Actually, the shepherd boy and the witch didn't come because they didn't agree with this matter. Xuanling Mountain is not simple, and this matter should not be done by Old Ghost Zhong. I can still be sure of this. It is most likely that he is a direct descendant.
It's done by one faction, even if we all take action plus the madman guy, we may not be able to get any benefits, and the war is about to begin, if we take action at this time..." Xin Shui said hesitantly.
"Old man Xinshui, don't we old guys take any action on this matter? No wonder, after you have been away from the clan for many years, you must not regard yourself as a member of the eight major families." The old Dongfang woman was furious, stood up and shouted to Xinshui.
"Xin Shui, then when do you think you should wait until after the war to take action? By then, even if we two old guys are still alive, we will be powerless." Grandpa waved his hand, stopped the old Dongfang woman, and said to Xin Shui.
"Yes, we have to wait until then. Don't forget, the ones who should take action most are not us old guys." Facing the Dongfang old woman's question, Xin Shui did not have any dissatisfaction, but said with a smile.
"you mean........?"
Everyone focused their attention on Qimulin, with different expressions on their faces. The grandfather and grandmother looked doting on their faces, while the old woman Dongfang and the old man Zhuge lowered their heads in silence, meditating on something.
On the other hand, Xin Shui's eyes were filled with sparkles.
