Glancing at the people who were still unclear about the situation, Master Chongzi sneered. Only then did these people realize that the other party had worked so hard to gather people here, so how could they just imprison them?
These people are all his bargaining chips.
"Could it be that you, you... you actually rebelled against the clan?!" the second elder blurted out in shock.
He originally thought that this was just an internal fight prevented by the other party, with the intention of seizing power and cleaning up. Although such an approach was not humane and disgraceful to outsiders, it was not unheard of in the history of the Fifth Family.
As mentioned above, the blood relationship in the fifth family is mixed. There are everyone, useful people and useless people. There are moths and rats, and there are too many members of the family.
Especially some of the disciples with other surnames who have ulterior motives. If they cause trouble, the entire family can be killed by them without anyone else having to take action. But these external disciples, especially those whose ancestors are mostly related to the ancestors of the fifth family, should not be touched lightly.
But just because you can't move in normal times doesn't mean you can't move in special times. If a disaster occurs, it would not be surprising if an entire family, not to mention a small branch of the family, would be wiped out.
For this kind of thing, the main line will generally not end easily. To put it bluntly, they are the ones who benefit, so how can they not be happy? Just don't say it out loud.
Therefore, some homeowners even clean up the entire home after cleaning. They can also save some resources by getting rid of the moths. Anyway, their main branch has always been able to secure a high position with advantages.
But this time it seems something is different.
There were frequent changes before the succession ceremony, frequent interactions between various forces and clan elders, Chong Zi's ambiguous attitude, and then the sudden death of the family leader and the theft of tokens... all of which foreshadowed some kind of signal. Many knowledgeable elders also knew what was going on, but they just kept it secret.
The second elder was also one of them. Otherwise, why would he choose to retreat after the family leader succeeded him? Although he was an elder and Chong Zi had to respect him no matter what, it would still be rude to not leave his seat if the new head of the family succeeded to the throne.
But he still chose to do this, precisely because he saw that this matter would bring disaster, and he had already told his children to be careful.
Unexpectedly, Chongzi didn't just want to cause trouble locally, he wanted to take the blame, and he also wanted to take the main line of his family with him.
It is very likely that the target of the fifth purple is not just the side line and those idle people, but may also extend to the main line. Only then did he feel that the other party had gone too far, and quickly led a group of people to the scene.
Unexpectedly, that's not all, there's something even more exciting... Could it be that Chong Zi, the villain, wants to overthrow the clan?
All kinds of incidents were connected in a series, and the second elder was shocked. Maybe this person really doesn't care about the fifth family at all, as he said, because he has always been on the verge of subverting the family in the past.
He may really be on the opposite side of the fifth family——
"Beast, how could the Fifth Family ever be sorry for you? Ten years of hard work in training has brought about such a result. Are you still a human being?" The second elder said in disbelief. He couldn't understand the other party even if he tried hard to think of it. What is the reason for all this fuss?
name? profit? status? Rare treasures, natural elixirs, what else does their fifth family not have? Even if it doesn't exist, you can still find it by force.
This is the life that many people, even disciples of ordinary families, dream of, and Chongzi should be the one who knows this best.
He received them all, and took them from the hands of his brothers. Why is he so dissatisfied that he wants to destroy the family he relies on for survival? The second elder was puzzled.
"What a joke, why did the Fifth Family ever train me?"
The second elder was so angry that he was about to say something, but suddenly got stuck. It seems...the fifth family really didn't train him very much.
If the other party is really the Fifth Purple, then the Fifth Family has indeed put all their effort into cultivating him. After all, even every piece of paper was carefully selected by the family before being sent to him. The family's kindness to him is indeed as deep as the ocean.
But the fifth purple in front of him was a different person decades ago.
The fifth son, the most inconspicuous child of True Lord Yunmao. Different from the elder brother's outstanding talent, different from the concubine's hidden cleverness, even the two concubines who died young are said to be talented people.
He is the only one, the fifth son, with mediocre talents and unremarkable character. Although he is praised for being kind-hearted, he is really inconspicuous to the other brothers, very inconspicuous.
It's so inconspicuous that sometimes Zhenjun Yunmao can't remember it. He didn't like to get close to the front either. He just stood silently in the distance and watched his father and brother win glory and become legends in other people's mouths. But he is willing to live quietly in obscurity.
The Fifth Purple was also worried about this. She felt that her younger brother obviously had excellent talents, but he always kept them hidden. This was not going to work.
Because he is too silent, not exposed in front of others, and unknown to others. Sometimes when he hears others commenting that his younger brother is mediocre, Fifth Purple will inevitably get upset, and he always feels a sense of regret that his pearl has fallen into dust.
But no matter what he said or how he led the introverted child towards the crowd, the other person remained unmoved and just stayed silently in his own little world. As time went by, the elder brother had no choice but to give up asking the other person to blend in with the crowd.
Helpless, this kid was too showy, and Fifth Purple didn't want him to continue like this, so he took him to practice alchemy, which really helped him find some fun of his own.
But the whole process was just between the two brothers, and it was done in private, and not many people knew about it. The fifth son did not gain the family's attention for practicing elixirs, let alone being taught by a famous teacher.
Later, the fifth son was able to achieve such a reputation in the alchemy path, which was also due to his talent, and it was all due to himself. No one knows how he developed such superb alchemy skills.
When he was the fifth son, he was not trained by the family. When he became the fifth purple, he never enjoyed the education of the heir... and for some reason, he didn't even learn the techniques passed down by the fifth family.
Speaking of which, his abilities really have little to do with the fifth family.
Therefore, when Master Chongzi asked this question, the second elder was a little stuck for a moment.
Everyone just felt strange that these two people were talking about something, and they sounded confused. If they remember correctly, isn't this Master Chongzi the eldest son carefully raised by their fifth family?
Why does the heir act like "you're sorry" to me? But if they said that he was just talking nonsense, they looked at the leader of the fifth family and it seemed that he really lacked confidence... Could there really be any inside story, right?
I feel like today’s drama still needs to be played, it’s not over yet——
As it turns out, their intuition was right.
