"The Li family cannot do without the old man!" The head of the Chen family said in a bitter voice, making everyone present fall into aftertaste.
The old man is the strongest person in the Li family, with the strength of the middle stage of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Immortal, and is the best in Luoye City. The reason why the Li family can stand firm in Luoye City is simply because the old man is in charge.
If the old man suddenly passed away, the Li family would lose such a person in charge, and their dominant position would be lost in an instant. They might even become the target of public criticism and be divided up by various forces.
"Chen Feihong, a man who knows the current situation is a hero!" Li Hu said coldly, "When you lose the halo of the head of the family, I will naturally do my best to treat the old man."
"I hope it's as you said!" At this moment, an old voice came rolling in. Everyone felt a flash before their eyes, and there were seven or eight people in different costumes on the scene.
Some of them were ragged, some were rich, some were poor, and some had gray hair and chicken skin. But they all had one thing in common, which was the aura they exuded, which was definitely possessed by the strongest of the best.
Seeing these people, whether it was the head of the Chen family or Li Hu, they all put away their arrogance and bowed, "Greetings to the most distinguished guest elders."
The guest elders were the most powerful foundation of the Li family. Every guest elder was undoubtedly a Nine Heavens Mysterious Immortal-level warrior, and the most powerful force of the Li family.
However, although the guest elders enjoyed the offerings from the Li family, they did not interfere with the family affairs of the Li family, even though some of them were once important figures of the Li family. They only intervened when the Li family encountered a major crisis. The rest of the time, they were mostly idle, either traveling in the fairy world or practicing hard behind closed doors.
However, the status of each guest elder is second only to that of the family, and every head of the Li family must be courteous to them. This is because they are the last line of defense of the Li family. If they are lost, the peak combat power of the Li family will inevitably be lost by half.
"Xiao Hu." An old guest elder suddenly said, "I don't object to you fighting for power, but please don't let the Li family down."
This person is an ancestor of the Li family. He is the grandfather of Li Hu, the eldest uncle of the Li family. In fact, if the old man of the Li family were here, he would also call him uncle.
"Yes, Grandpa! Xiaohu will definitely lead the Li family to the top." Li Hu's face was full of excitement. Getting the support of his grandfather gave him more confidence.
"Haha, so funny, you haven't even become the head of the family yet, but you're already eager to express your opinion." A charming voice came slowly, and it was the **** guest elder who spoke. She smiled sweetly, her face full of charm: "Now the Li family is thriving, it's a great period of development. If you suddenly change the head of the family, isn't it ruining your own future?"
"Hua Ruying, what do you mean by that?" The old man with gray hair and chicken skin looked serious: "Are you saying that my grandson is not as good as an outsider?"
"Tsk, what do you mean by outsider or not? As the son-in-law of the Li family, you are a member of the Li family. The head of the Li family has always been a talented person. Wasn't it because you, Li Fang, were not able to become the head of the Li family because you were not talented enough?" **** chuckled, not forgetting to make some sarcastic remarks.
"Hua Ruying!" Li Fang gritted his teeth, anger flashing across his old face: "What time is it now? You still don't forget to target me. Are you trying to sentence the Li family?"
Hua Ruying laughed sarcastically: "Traitor to the Li family, what a big hat! If I, Hua Ruying, wanted to betray the Li family, I could have risen to prominence 30,000 years ago. Why did I have to wait until now? But you, the guest elder, don't ask about the family background of the Li family. Now you, Li Fang, openly support Li Hu. What are you thinking!"
"You..." Li Fang was speechless under the interrogation, his pair of copper bell-like eyes widened.
“Ahem…” At this time, a middle-aged guest elder came forward and said, “Please stop for a moment and listen to me!”
Li Fang and Hua Ruying both snorted coldly, but did not confront each other any further.
"The reason why we came out today is because of Feihong's call. We might as well listen to Feihong's purpose so that we can help him check." The middle-aged man smiled and looked at the head of the Chen family, and said with a smile: "Feihong, now that things have come to this, why don't you speak quickly?"
"Okay, Elder Mi." The head of the Chen family bowed and was polite, which made the middle-aged man feel comfortable.
"I summoned all the guest elders here this time just to ask you to confirm one thing." Patriarch Chen said sincerely.
"Feihong, please continue talking. If it makes sense, I will definitely make the decision for you!" Elder Mi laughed, and his voice gave people a feeling of spring breeze.
"It's like this. Three days ago, Li Hu proposed two conditions to me. One of them was that I had to give up the position of the head of the family before he would let Master Ren Dan treat the old man. Today, even if I have to give up the position of the head of the family, I will save the old man. Feihong hereby begs all the guest elders to bear witness. If Li Hu cannot save the old man after I give up the position of the head of the family, please make the decision for Feihong!"
The attitude of the head of the Chen family was extremely sincere, but there was no reluctance or entanglement in his words. Instead, he seemed a little more free and easy, giving the guest elders a feeling of great sorrow.
"Haha, taking advantage of someone's misfortune, you are indeed a 'good family head'!" Hua Ruying sneered and looked at Li Hu meaningfully.
Li Hu's eyes dodged, with a deep hatred. He didn't expect that Chen Feihong would turn against his army at this time. Now, in the eyes of the guest elders, he must have become a villain, while Chen Feihong has become a gentleman who understands the greater good. How hateful!
Li Fang kept silent. At this moment, it was inconvenient for him to say anything. After all, he felt a little embarrassed about Li Hu's matter.
"In that case, I will make the decision for you!" Elder Mi's eyes turned and he said in a sonorous voice, "If Li Hu can't cure the old man, I will be the first to settle accounts with her."
"Well, that's great, let me take part as well." Immediately, another guest elder came out to express his support. As for the others, they were all silent and their stance was unclear.
They were all experienced and wise guys, and they knew that there was no suspense about Chen Feihong's request. Even if they supported it in their hearts, they would not stand up and risk offending Li Fang.
Upon seeing this, Patriarch Chen bowed and said, "Feihong thanks all the elders for your understanding of justice!"
As he spoke, Patriarch Chen took a step forward and reached out to take something out from his storage ring. It turned out to be an ancient token with a huge "Li" character engraved on it.
He stretched out his hand and threw the token into Li Hu's hand.
"Here is the Patriarch's token for you. Now, you must fulfill your promise and save the old man!" Patriarch Chen said coldly, "I hope you won't let us down!"
