In the hall, Zhou Lishan said a lot of polite words, and was finally sent back by the two maids. At this time, only Chen Xuan and Zhou Ruoxue were left in the hall, and they looked at each other. looked away.
"Brother Chen, can you really cure my father's poison?" Zhou Ruoxue said softly.
"I'll try my best. I'm not very particular about whether I can get rid of the poison. I will try my best. One day later, I will come up with a plan to see if I can get rid of the poison on your father."
"Then I would like to thank Brother Chen, as long as the poison on my father is cured, I will be able to be a cow to Brother Chen." Zhou Ruoxue said with a burst of will.
"Miss Zhou is serious, and it's still unknown whether she can cure her. Even if she can cure Ling's father of the poison, it will be regarded as a good fate. I don't care about any rewards at all."
The two chatted like this for an hour in the hall before Chen Xuan was sent back to an exquisite small courtyard, where there were still two maids waiting on him at any time.
At this time, on the other side of Zhou's house, there were dozens of elderly people sitting side by side in a large house, and a man in his forties was sitting in the middle, and there were more than a dozen young men standing behind him. , the middle-aged man's body is also rolling with vitality, which has reached the middle stage of Yuanwu Realm.
"Elders, you must have seen what happened today. Originally, you have been defending Zhou Lishan as the patriarch all these years. We are understandable, but today he completely gave up the request of 'Moluodan'. That is to say, now Zhou Lishan is already at dusk, and it will last for less than a few days, so I propose that the Zhou family choose another head of the family, which is why I called all the elders here today."
The middle-aged man said to the dozens of elderly people sitting in two rows.
More than a dozen elders glanced at each other, and then one elder said: "We have indeed heard about what happened today, and the people from the Hu family didn't take our Zhou family seriously when they came here, and even injured several disciples. , The Hu family is also deceiving people too much, but we voted to decide on the matter of setting up another patriarch as you said, and it is still the same. If seven votes are in favor, then he can be removed from the position of patriarch."
"I agree with the Sixth Elder. We voted to decide that our Zhou family has been regressing constantly over the years, and we really need a wise master to lead our Zhou family back to glory. After all, our Zhou family has also been passed down for thousands of years. Noble family, I didn't expect it to be the turn of a second-rate family these years." There was another Zhang Laodao who was behind, and after speaking, the elder secretly glanced at the man in his forties.
"Even if we vote to dismiss Zhou Lishan, we don't have a suitable candidate to be the head of the family at this time. After all, he is the only person in the family who has reached the peak of the Yuanwu realm, and he is the only one who has the opportunity to touch the threshold of Daodiling, so I propose This matter can be postponed for a while." Another elder said.
"Who says there is no suitable candidate? I think 'Zhou Liyuan' is the best candidate. Although his strength is not as good as Zhou Lishan, he is still in the middle stage of Yuanwu Realm. Even if Zhou Lishan is the peak of Yuanwu Realm, that is in the past Something has happened, so the matter of re-electing the head of the family is imminent." The youngest elder who started to propose the election of the head of the family said again.
After speaking here, the people below began to discuss, some agreed, some opposed, but the opinions could not be unified. The men in their forties sitting in the middle watched these people's arguments with cold eyes and constant staring. blinked.
Everyone debated for a while, but no one could convince anyone. There were always a few people who were not in favor of re-election of the Patriarch. These were the few people who firmly supported Zhou Lishan, but at this time they all had some wavering will. After all, who They don't want their family to perish.
"How did the elders discuss it? Are you just watching the Zhou family perish without doing anything?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Zhou Liyuan, I know you have always wanted to be the head of the family, but we can't agree to this matter. Besides, Zhou Lishan has never done anything wrong to the family. It is a bit unreasonable to dismiss him. Wait for a while." An elder resolutely road.
"Fourth elder, I know that you were favored by Zhou Lishan back then, so now you only speak from Zhou Lishan's standpoint, but have you ever thought about it, the Zhou family at this time is not the Zhou family of ten years ago, Therefore, it is urgent to choose another Patriarch, and we must introduce a new Patriarch today." The elder with the youngest qualification stood up and retorted.
"Zhou Ming, don't make excuses. Even if I hadn't received Zhou Lishan's life-saving grace, I would not approve of Zhou Liyuan's election as Patriarch. I was the first to object." The Fourth Elder who spoke just now spoke fiercely.
"Talking... After all, you are not trying to repay a favor back then. If you hadn't been besieged by people back then, how could Zhou Lishan have been poisoned? In the final analysis, you are the culprit. If it weren't for you, Zhou Lishan The family will not fall to such a point, from a second-rate family to a low-rate family." The youngest elder said with a provocative tone.
"You, you, you... Zhou Ming, you are talking nonsense, what do you mean that I am the chief culprit of the family..." The fourth elder was so angry that he was speechless.
"Did I say something wrong? Am I wrong? What qualifications do you have to stand up and oppose the election of the head of the family today? I think you are selfish and have no consideration for the family at all, so today I still propose to re-elect the head of the family." The first elder reiterated again, ignoring the fourth elder whose body was constantly trembling.
"Zhou Ming is right. Our Zhou family needs a leader these years. Otherwise, our Zhou family will sooner or later be disintegrated and swallowed up by other forces." An elder who was in a state of ambiguity said. .
"Second elder, even you are in favor of choosing another Patriarch, you have always supported Zhou Lishan!" The fourth elder said to the elder who had just spoken in a sad and angry tone.
"Fourth brother, it's not that I don't support Lishan, it's just that the current situation can no longer allow us to have any selfishness, so let's vote." The elder ignored the fourth elder, and it seemed that he had made a lot of determination.
"Okay, okay... You all feel that Lishan is not worthy of being the head of the family now, and you all want to dismiss him. I don't participate in any voting yet. You can choose for yourself." After finishing speaking, the elder walked out, leaving a back for everyone .
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't expect the Fourth Elder to be so angry, they walked away leaving the dozen or so people behind.
"Since the Fourth Elder does not participate in the voting, we can only abstain from voting. Those who agree to choose another Patriarch, please raise your hand, and those who remain neutral do not need to raise your hand." The youngest elder has been clamoring non-stop.
More than a dozen people glanced at it, and they also understood in their hearts that it seems necessary to choose another Patriarch today, and there are many people present who have long wanted to choose another Patriarch, but these years have been suppressed by several elders , so the first class is ten years, maybe no one thought at the beginning that this kind of poison can't be cured even after ten years.
This matter has been put on hold, but today's events have brought these people together again and raised this matter again, so everyone felt that they could not wait any longer and raised their hands.
