Chapter 122 When the Great Wall Collapses(2/3)
…
…
It rained for an hour.
Some of the elders waiting in the cemetery were shivering from the rain. Because Li Qingsui didn't hold an umbrella, they couldn't hold an umbrella. And because Li Qingsui didn't use his "extraordinary power", they couldn't use his "extraordinary power" either.
Just get wet, touch, endure, and suffer.
When someone can't bear it anymore.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Li Qingsui finally spoke. She turned around and left without any hesitation, walking towards the outside of the cemetery.
Most of those who were waiting felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
They made eye contact with each other, often dissatisfied.
This is simply a crazy girl.
On the occasion of the funeral, she dragged all the members of the Presbyterian Church to accompany her in the rain...
Outside the cemetery.
After everyone dispersed, the second elder stopped Li Qingsui. His tone was still calm, but he no longer had the previous respect.
"There is something I would like to inform you on behalf of the Presbyterian Church."
So far, the second elder has not broken his skin.
Li Qingsui is still the acting head of the family so far.
So even he needs to address you with honorifics.
It's just that... the age difference between the two is a bit too big. There is a gap of several decades. When he said the last word, he lengthened it a bit meaningfully.
It sounded like a reminder, reminding Li Qingsui to also pay attention to his "respect".
If you are interested, you can take the initiative to cancel.
Then I will cancel it naturally.
"What...what's the matter with you?" Li Qingsui stopped and looked at the old man calmly.
She deliberately emphasized the first word, which was also a reminder.
She heard it.
But...she didn't use the honorific.
"Oh...a trivial thing."
The second elder smiled and said softly: "Regarding the proposal to restart the [Light Search] plan, the Presbyterian Council held a new round of voting, and the results have come out... We have decided to oppose it again."
"Reason." Li Qingsui said coldly.
"The reason is that we cannot estimate the real benefits that this plan may bring to the Li family... No member of the Presbyterian Church has entered a place like Shenci Mountain for a long time." The second elder said calmly, "Assess the value.
We have to see it ourselves, at least we need to have the right to know."
Li Qingsui narrowed his eyes.
She looked at this old man who was nearly sixty years older than herself.
"The Temple Mountain only allows family heads, guardians, and talisman holders to enter... This rule has not changed in the past one hundred years." Li Qingsui said slowly: "You want to break this rule?"
The second elder smiled.
He shook his head.
"No, no, no...I don't mean to offend."
The old man looked down at the little girl in front of him. He was also caught in a heavy rain. Under the action of the extraordinary source of matter, the water in his robe quickly evaporated and became dry again. The raindrops above his head were also blown up.
The mental power bounced away, as if a big umbrella was being held up, but the big umbrella did not cover Li Qingsui's head.
In contrast.
The two figures resembled a mountain and a baby bird.
"In the past hundred years... members of the Presbyterian Church will receive a talisman. This means that we have the right to enter the realm of the shrine... Not going to the mountain to check the situation is just the respect of the Presbyterian Council for the head of the family and the protector.
."
The second elder shook his head and said: "It's just that now... the situation is different. The Presbyterian Council cannot trust a child who is only fifteen years old. If there is a problem in Shenci Mountain, can you really solve it..."
Li Qingsui took a deep breath.
She raised her head and wanted to say something.
An invisible flame burned in the rain!
"Chi chi chi——"
The crackling rainwater was burned by the flames, shattered, and turned into a large amount of steam.
A warm hand rested on the little girl's shoulder.
Gu Shen walked out of the rain. There was no trace of rain on his body. When his fingers touched Li Qingsui's robe, the blazing fire turned into a stream of warmth, instantly warming her cold body.
Same as that old man.
The "moist water vapor" on Li Qingsui's body was instantly evaporated and discharged.
A warm field turned into a big umbrella and was held up above her head.
She looked back at the familiar face and was lost for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses.
Li Qingsui raised his voice and said coldly: "So...you don't agree with my identity as the head of the family?"
This is a very confusing move.
She knew... why when she came out like this today, no one in the Presbyterian Church dared to disobey her, not just because they followed etiquette and rules.
Even more because...behind him, there is Uncle Gao.
When she wants to end a certain argument, she just needs to bring out this identity...
The argument will end.
The second elder had nothing to say.
He did not argue with Li Qingsui about the so-called identity dispute, but said meaningfully: "But the head of the family... you must understand that the Li family is an ancient clan, and everything we do has clear rules. Even the head of the family,
You can’t do whatever you want, you still need to follow the rules.”
In this sentence, honorific words are no longer used.
He lost his last patience and said: "The existence of the Presbyterian Church is to supervise and supervise the behavior of the family head... If we oppose it, then this proposal will be destined to fail."
Li Qingsui fell silent.
She knew... what the second elder said was correct.
If the [Light Searching] plan was suspended due to the failure of the vote...then no matter what she proposed, it would be of no use.
"Do you know... how much money has Mr. Li spent on searching for antiques this year?"
The second elder asked coldly: "Do you know how many people are laughing at us? Many of the disciples of Jiangbei's branch and the extraordinary people they employ do not have sealed items yet, and what are you doing? Buying those junky things without souls.
…”
"Feel sorry……"
Gu Shen spoke at this moment.
He smiled and said: "If I remember correctly... the [Light Searching] project should have only been carried out for one year. The lack of sealed objects in Li's Jiangbei probably didn't happen this year, right?"
The words of the second elder sounded very powerful.
It seems that Li Qingsui made a very stupid and heinous decision... But in fact, for a huge extraordinary power like the Li family, there are many plans that require spending worldly goods every year, and the "Lamp Search" plan is just one of them.
branch.
It is certainly possible to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
But putting the reason here is a bit ridiculous.
Gu Shen had never been used to seeing this situation, so he simply pointed out the point.
"What...what do you want to say?"
The second elder's expression suddenly became gloomy.
"What I want to say is very simple..."
Gu Shendan said calmly: "If you really want to solve the problem of the shortage of sealed artifacts among the Jiangbei branch's children, the best way is to separate the excess sealed artifacts in the Snow Forbidden City, narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, and achieve uniformity inside and outside.
"
Naked irony.
It is impossible for any of the five major families to weaken the power of the Snow Forbidden City and reinforce the so-called "Jiangbei Branch".
