Chapter 288: Seizing the Territory (Part 2)

"That's the theory is true. In theory, Yueshan is also qualified to compete for the position of the patriarch." Xiao Lei smiled and said, "Your Mingyue family is originally a martial arts family, so naturally it mainly focuses on martial arts. The patriarch's martial arts should be the best in the family."

Yueshan opened his mouth and said, "At least the first in that generation. Because each generation of patriarchs has to go through a ceremony to take office, that is, to compete with other people from the same family. Although it is not said that you can be the patriarch if you win, in a family like ours, if you lose... I am afraid you will not be the patriarch anymore. Of course, the next generation of children can also offer invitations. At this time, it is difficult to refuse to issue invitations."

"That's it. Your Yueshan is now almost the best martial arts in the Yue family except for the Taigong generation. Although your sixth uncle is not worried that you will compete with him for the patriarch, he is afraid that your martial arts are better than him. If you propose to fight with him at the ceremony, even if he loses, he can still be the patriarch, but his majesty is also ruined. So... he finds a way to remove you first! Let's calculate this assumption for the time being."

Yueshan smiled bitterly and said, "If it were the sixth uncle who was afraid of my martial arts...unless he asked himself that he was not my opponent...but if his martial arts skills were worse than mine, how could he hurt me?"

"That's it, it may be that the person who injured you may not be your sixth uncle, but there is another point. Even if it is your sixth uncle, he may not dare to use this evil magic he knows publicly... Hehe." Xiao Lei sneered, but added a secret sentence in his heart:

Who dares to use the magic of the Holy Blood Sect publicly?

But why did the Holy Blood Sect intervene in a family in the mortal world? Although the Mingyue family is a big martial arts family, those martial arts are not worth mentioning to practitioners. Even if the Mingyue family has huge wealth...

What do practitioners want money?

This is really strange...

Xiao Lei shook his head: "No matter what, we can't even think about it even if we sit here, so we still have to find the answer by ourselves."

Yueshan sighed, "It's a bit urgent. There will be a big show in front of Guanwang Temple tonight. This show will take several days to be sung. But tomorrow morning, the clan meeting will be held in the ancestral hall. First, the funeral of the Taigong has been almost done, and everyone is anxious to hold the last ceremony. Second, I'm afraid it's to invite the uncle from other rooms to come and set the position of the clan leader. Now it seems that it's inevitable that the sixth uncle will take office."

"Well, is it tomorrow?" Xiao Lei suddenly felt a move in his heart and came up with a brilliant plan. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Lei and Yueshan chatted for a whole night, and Yuehua was arranged to rest in another room.

In the room of Yueshan, the lights never went out until dawn. In the morning, Yuehua walked out of the room and knocked on the door of Yueshan's room. As soon as she raised her hand, before knocking on the door, someone inside opened the door.

I saw Yueshan standing inside the door with a smile, looking at Yuehua.

"You...you are early." Yuehua forced a smile and looked inside. She saw that there seemed to be someone lying on the bed. She hesitated for a moment: "Xiao Lei... haven't gotten up yet?"

Yueshan had a strange smile on his face in front of him. He leaned over and laughed in a low voice: "Baby, am I right in front of you?"

"Ah!!" Yuehua exclaimed in a daze, and her body shrank back like an electric shock. She saw that the person in front of her looked like Yueshan, but the lazy and slightly evil smile on the corner of her mouth was definitely not owned by the upright and generous Yueshan.

"Little... Lei?" Yuehua opened her eyes wide.

The man in front of him turned around and gently wiped his hands on his face. Only then did the face return to Xiao Lei's appearance: "Isn't it just my dear husband?" After saying that, he took Yuehua's hand, kissed her on the face, and smiled and said, "Okay, you can accompany me to Yue's house today."

Yuehua stared at Xiao Lei in surprise, and after a long time, she let out a long tone: "You actually have this kind of ability... I was scared to death just now." She asked again: "Accompany you to the Yue family? What are you doing at the Yue family?"

A strange look appeared in Xiao Lei's eyes: "Go to do something interesting."

He turned around and closed the door. Yueshan had already been sleeping with his magic. He could not wake up without twelve hours.

Xiao Lei was worried, afraid that Yueshan's whereabouts had been discovered, and someone would harm him. He set up a formation around the house, then washed up with Yuehua, changed into clean clothes, then stood in front of the mirror, gently wiped his face with his hand, and said, "Change!"

It immediately became the appearance of Yueshan.

The prominent facial features, the angular face, and the firm gaze in their eyes were exactly Yueshan. It’s a pity that I can’t laugh. If I smile, I can’t help but reveal Xiao Lei’s temperament.

Fortunately, Yueshan has been away from Mingyue's family for several years, and everyone's impression of him should not be very deep. Yuejing, who is most familiar with Yueshan, seems to have not attended the tribe's conference. I think there will be no flaws.

After coughing, his voice became as low and thick as Yueshan, and he said, "Let's go on the road now." He smiled bitterly and said, "Well, I asked Yueshan a lot last night, but I forgot to ask him where the Yue Family Ancestral Hall is, but you should recognize it."

Yuehua couldn't help but smile, then a little melancholy appeared in her eyes: "Xiao Lei, the Yue family is my mother's home after all...you..."

"Don't worry." Xiao Lei gently pinched Yuehua's nose: "I won't do anything to the Yue family."

"Don't..." Yuehua avoided Xiao Lei's hand and whispered: "Your appearance... I will feel uncomfortable if someone else touches me except you."

Xiao Lei was a little embarrassed, then coughed, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Well, now you are my Yueshan... um... my Yueshan sworn sister, helpless. I will take you to the Yue family this time, so I will recognize you?" He couldn't help laughing again, "I will go to the Yue family later. There are many people you recognize. I have nothing to do. Please remind me secretly, and be careful not to show your strength."

Just in a town south of Shaoxing, I walked through a small street that was not spacious. The road here has been carefully revised. Although it is still a bluestone road, it looks particularly flat. The ancient buildings on both sides have been at least hundreds of years old. The street is silent, and there are clearly a few big characters on a high archway on the street.

"Yuejia Old Street"

At this moment, there were several young men dressed in black standing under the archway, all of whom were full of solemn expressions. There were many cars parked on an open space on the street outside the archway.

After all, it is a big family that has been operating for hundreds of years. In addition to ancient martial arts, they also have huge financial resources. The parking lots here are all expensive and high-end cars. Some of these are a bit out of place with the surrounding environment.

At the end of the street, inside a door that didn't seem to be too spacious and tall, the threshold was two feet high. At this moment, the door with a black curtain hung on it was tightly closed, but the noise inside could still be heard from the crack of the door.

The Yue family’s ancestral hall is obviously not big. However, after countless generations of renovation, a hall in the ancestral hall can accommodate hundreds of people to sit here and gather. The inner hall is filled with tablets enshrined in the ancestors.

At this moment, some of the three generations of the old, middle-aged and young people in the Mingyue family have arrived, and some are in the prosperous rooms, and even the young generation has people present, making the lobby a little noisy.

However, this cannot cover up the arguing voice of the group sitting in the head of the lobby.

There were seven people wearing dark clothes sitting there. The oldest one was probably in their sixties, the youngest one was in their forties. These were the heads of seven of the nine rooms in the Yue family at this moment, that is, the seven people most qualified to compete for the position of patriarch.

Except for the house in Yueshan, Yueshan's father had passed away and Yueshan himself was not present. In addition, Yuehua Yuejing's father was no longer alive, and Yuejing was not present. The other managers of the seventh room were sitting on it.

The fourth one was a middle-aged man wearing a suit that was worth little. He looked about forty years old, but his eyes were bright and his expression was sharp. He was obviously an energetic guy. His hair was still black and he had no trace of oldness at all.

In fact, he is the manager of the Sixth Room and is called Uncle Six. Although he is fifty-three years old, due to his proper maintenance and superb martial arts, he looks just as young as forty.

At this moment, this sixth uncle was very proud of his intention.

The family in Yueshan and the one in Yuejing Yuehua, the two families are no longer alive and cannot compete with me. The other people who can talk to them are six, and five of them have already agreed to their position. The only one who is still struggling with me in the end is the long house!

In any family, the eldest son is the first one and the most powerful one. However, thanks to the previous two generations of Changfang, there were no outstanding figures, which caused the Yue family's eldest son to be lost for two generations. This generation of his nominal clan elder brother is not a person who can pose a real threat to him. The only person who can challenge him is probably the only one left in the name of the eldest son of the eldest son.

I took a look at the first row sitting below. There was a row of Taishi chairs. Each chair was made of the best mahogany and made by the masters in the best workshops in the south. The cost of a chair was tens of thousands! And the other hundreds of tribesmen were only sitting on ordinary benches.

In this ancient family, those sitting in the first row and those who sit on these chairs worth hundreds of thousands in total are all vague old men, and the youngest ones are at least seventy years old. These old men all have cold faces, as if the noise of the crowd has nothing to do with them, and they all seem to be closing their eyes to rest.

However, Uncle Six had to ignore these old guys. After all, they were old men from each room, uncles from the family! They were elders!

If you want to become a member of this family, these old guys must nod.

"Okay, everyone has been arguing for a long time just now. Grandpa, he just passed away. My elder brother Liu handled his elder brother's funeral. If there is anything inappropriate, everyone might as well just express it. To put it bluntly, if anyone thinks that my elder brother Liu is not worthy of being the leader of this patriarch, then just say it! As long as what you say is based on evidence, my elder brother Liu will immediately abdicate and give in to the wise! Even if you point at my nose and scold me, I will admit it!"

After the sixth uncle finished speaking, he stood up and looked down at the audience.

His voice was not loud, but his tone had a shocking power that spread throughout the audience. The noisy sound suddenly became much smaller and gradually became quieter.

The people in each room below looked at the boss on the stage. When the boss on the stage didn't speak, the children below closed their mouths.

"Ahem..."

A cough came from the first position above.

"It's this guy again." Uncle Six frowned secretly and said to himself: "Boss of the eldest son, this guy will cough twice before speaking. Can he not speak without coughing? Is it a day to cough you to death sooner or later!"

However, he did not dare to express his expression on his face and smiled faintly: "Boss, do you have something to say?"

The eldest son of the eldest son, the entire clan of Yueshan, would call him uncle. This man is already sixty years old, but he looks a little old and has a lot of wrinkles on his face. However, although his voice is not loud, a little hoarse, he is low and powerful: "Old Liu, according to the truth, you are the best in terms of talent and martial arts, and the achievements of managing the family's industry in recent years, and everyone can see it. But the position of this clan leader is still two people, one is the fifth room. Although our fifth brother is gone, the boy Yueshan has not come. And the girl Yuejing is not here today. This clan leader must be recognized by everyone in the Ninth room to be considered a seat. Now that two rooms are missing, what do you think?"

Uncle Six frowned and said lightly, "Boss, this may not be what he said. Now that the boy in Yueshan has committed a serious crime and has been removed from the fifth house, it means there is no one now... What should I do? Although the girl Yuejing didn't come today, she has already said that I am the patriarch and agreed. Besides, the situation is special now. Taigong went there too suddenly and did not leave any words. If it was purely according to the rules of the clan, the new patriarch must be identified by the old patriarch. Could it be that Taigong would not be able to choose the new patriarch if he went there... If everything was followed by the rules, wouldn't it be impossible to choose the new patriarch?"

The boss coughed and said, "Okay, let's put down the girl Yuejing for the time being, that boy Yueshan, you removed him... Not to mention whether the things he committed should be removed from home... Everyone knows that Yueshan is the only one in the five-bedroom house! Before your sixth brother took office, you will destroy the five sides of our Yue family first! Let our nine-bedroom house turn into eight-bedroom houses. Is this what the patriarch does?"

Uncle Six immediately said, "You can't say that. Everyone knows Yueshan... It was brought back by our fifth brother from outside, not the flesh and blood of our Yue family... Of course, our Yue family treats equally, and that's not something else. Now that Yueshan has been removed from home, we can't just say that the fifth house is because I am the last one, right? Everyone has the same roots. We uncles and uncles make the decision. We adopt a few smart and capable boys from other rooms to the fifth house. I believe that the fifth family is also happy, even if the fifth house has an explanation!"

When everyone said this, everyone nodded.

After all, although Yueshan is the only descendant of the fifth family, he was adopted after all. Since he has been expelled, it is also a good choice to adopt two children from his Yue family to his fifth family - after all, the children adopted in his family are the blood of the authentic Yue family!

The boss looked at the sixth uncle calmly, and his face was a little helpless, so he closed his mouth.

Uncle Six smiled and said, "If everyone thinks my arrangement is OK, then the matter of the fifth house will be decided! My elder brother is the master here. Under our sixth house, one of my nephews, who is just two years old this year, will be the master and adopt him to the fifth house. In the future, he will be the eldest grandson of the fifth house!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone didn't say anything, and they agreed.

Only the boss who had a house on it thought to himself: "Hmph, if you use a nephew and a grandson to exchange for a five-bedroom position, the five-bedroom will be swallowed up by your six-bedroom! You have a lot of votes in your clan meeting... It's a good way!"

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful, regretting that I didn't use this attention first and fell behind Lao Liu's move.

"Everyone is scrambling. If there is no real suggestion, I, the sixth brother, will take it as my choice! After we choose the patriarch, we must immediately set up an incense altar to worship our ancestors! This ceremony cannot be abandoned!"

After saying that, Uncle Six owed his body slightly and looked at the uncles below: "Did you guys see?"

Several old men didn't say anything.

Uncle Liu raised his head again and said loudly: "What about the other couple's opinions? If no one objected, my elder brother Liu..."

Before he could speak, he heard a bang and the two door panels in the lobby fell down. Then he heard a few muffled groans, and several people flew in horizontally and fell heavily to the ground. They were the young children waiting for the archway at the small street entrance.

Then a tall figure stepped across the threshold, walked in, shouting loudly: "Wait, I object!"
Chapter completed!
