At this moment, in the entire room, three elders of the Ao clan stood side by side, each with different expressions.
And Ao Zheng was sitting upright in his position, his expression slightly cold, his aura as the clan leader also spread out, and the entire hall was filled with renounced silence.
"Any thing else?"
After a long while, Ao Zhengcai looked at the three of them and asked slowly.
As soon as these words came out, the other three people shook their heads, and then the old man in the lead said directly to Ao Zheng: "I don't know, clan leader, what do you think of this matter?"
Although it seems to be an intra-clan struggle now, the four people actually know the essence of the matter. This is not something that can be ignored!
"From now on, the three of you will take turns observing the clan with your spiritual thoughts for one day each. Any unusual movements must be reported. I will send Dragon Guards to look for clues outside the Dragon Palace."
Ao Zheng looked at the three people and said loudly.
This statement meant that the suspicion of Li Zhe had been completely put down. Everyone knew this, but after seeing Ao Zheng's attitude towards Li Zhe, they could not pursue it any further.
Although Li Zhe is the only outsider in the Dragon Palace now, as the clan leader, Ao Zheng still has a certain status. Since he is so relieved about Li Zhe, it is natural for others to say nothing more.
At that moment, after receiving Ao Zheng's order, the three of them responded in unison and left.
After the three people left, the expression on Ao Zheng's face softened slightly. He raised his eyes and looked outside the door, and said calmly: "Come in, I've already noticed you."
After listening to Ao Zheng's words, Ao Yucai walked in with a smile, walked directly behind Ao Zheng, rubbed his shoulders and said with a smile: "Hehe, daddy, have you agreed on everything?"
Hearing this, Ao Zheng smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "You girl, hearing that your sweetheart no longer needs to be suspected, are you feeling happy?"
"That's natural. I go to see him every day. He has never been out of the palace. If his soul is searched for nothing and his foundation is damaged, then your daughter's life will be difficult in the future."
Ao Yu nodded, and then said matter-of-factly.
Listening to Ao Yu's words, Ao Zheng responded slightly, stopped talking, and closed his eyes.
As Ao Zheng's most beloved daughter, Ao Yu naturally knew that her father was thinking about something at the moment, so the strength of her hand on his shoulder was also slowed down so that he could concentrate on his thinking.
Time passed slowly, and about a stick of incense passed. Ao Zhengcai sighed slightly and opened his eyes.
"What does daddy want?"
Seeing Ao Zheng's appearance, Ao Yu asked in a low voice.
"What do you think of Li Zhe?"
Ao Zheng did not answer Ao Yu's words, but turned his head to look at her and asked seriously.
Seeing Ao Zheng's serious look, Ao Yu did not answer him quickly, but frowned and thought carefully.
After a long while, she finally said: "Although he has an arrogant personality, he has talents that match him. It can be seen that he is not content with being ordinary. Although there are many talents in our Dragon Palace, there is no one who is outstanding among his peers." Right, Yu'er feels that it is a gift from heaven and man."
"Ha, I rarely hear you praise me like that."
Seeing Ao Yu praising Li Zhe with a serious face, Ao Zheng chuckled, and then said softly: "Then do you think that such a talented person would really be willing to be a consort and stay in my Ao family?" Are you guilty?"
As soon as these words came out, Ao Yu was stunned for a moment. Ao Zheng's words stopped her.
However, when the image of Li Zhe appeared in her mind, Ao Yu felt certain in her heart. She knew that her father must have something important to entrust to Li Zhe when he asked these questions, and her words would most likely... Determine Li Zhe's status within the Ao clan!
Thinking of this, Ao Yu gritted his teeth slightly, then nodded and responded: "My Ao family is also the top, he should really want to stay here."
Listening to Ao Yu's words, Ao Zheng nodded slightly, closed his eyes tightly again, and fell into deep thought.
Seeing this look, Ao Yu couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, if she married Li Zhe in the future, then Li Zhe's future fate would naturally be related to her.
As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. At this moment, Ao Yu couldn't help but think about it, and the pressure on Ao Zheng's back increased a lot.
After a long while, Ao Zhengcai sighed leisurely and murmured as if talking to himself: "Ao Yuan has four people dead, and the remaining five are too different from each other. If he forces himself to let the six of them work together, I'm afraid it will only allow him to show his full potential." Without all the strength..."
Ao Yu stood behind him, listening to his words, lowering his head and remaining silent.
What happened today has made Ao Zheng understand that the conflict between the various branches of the Ao family, which he had always ignored before, has reached a situation that must be resolved.
This is the case where four elites of this race died. If the three of them didn't immediately find the real culprit, they would try their best to kill his son-in-law.
This already shows that they and themselves are not of the same mind.
But now, although the ancestor of Zifu Realm has promised Ao Zheng, after getting Kunpeng's menstrual blood, he will become the next real person of Zifu.
But at that time, it would be difficult for him to participate in the affairs of the clan. No matter which of his sons was put in power, he would probably be targeted by these three lines!
Just when he was thinking of this, a figure appeared in Ao Zheng's mind, and that was Li Zhe!
At this moment, he suddenly had a very bold idea, that is, to find a way to make Li Zhelai the next clan leader!
After all, he will be Ao Yu's husband in the future, and with his strength and courage, Ao Zheng knows that Li Zhe is definitely qualified for this position, and if Li Zhe is really determined to join the Ao family, he will naturally take care of his family when the time comes!
What is needed now is an opportunity, an opportunity for Li Zhe to legitimately succeed as the next clan leader.
Today he asked Li Zhe to try to control the dragon scale on his own just to confirm this opportunity!
As long as Li Zhe can drive the dragon scales to a certain level on his own, then he can completely stop the remaining five elites from participating in this matter.
At that time, Li Zhe single-handedly retrieved the Kunpeng essence and blood for the Ao family. With this fact, he was enough to become the patriarch of the Ao family!
However, this idea is good, but it has a very fatal problem.
That is whether Li Zhe's heart belongs to the Ao family.
If he is here, then everything he does is for the future of the entire Ao family. If he is not here, maybe Ao Zheng will become the sinner of the entire Ao family!
Ao Zheng knew in his heart that this was a big gamble. If the gamble won, everyone would be happy. If the gamble failed, he might not be able to bear the outcome.
He sat quietly in his position for a while, then slowly stood up, turned his head and said to Ao Yu: "You go back first, and don't say anything I said to outsiders."
Ao Yu bowed slightly, and then responded: "Yes, father, you can rest assured."
After that, Ao Yu turned around and left the hall.
Ao Zheng stood in the main hall, his eyes flashing, bright and dark.
On that day, after the ancestor of Zifu Realm promised Ao Zheng that he would become the next real person of Zifu, Ao Zheng's heart was filled with ecstasy.
However, after the ecstasy fell, the emotion that arose was worry.
He knew in his heart that none of his sons would be great. Originally, he wanted to train them for a few more years and see how things went. But based on the current development, maybe after obtaining Kunpeng's essence and blood, he would start Start preparing to become a real person in Zi Mansion.
At that time, my son might not have changed much, after all, the time was too short.
When he chose Li Zhe, it seemed like a big gamble, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that the chess game had been decided, and he could only make risky moves and resign himself to fate.
Perhaps, if Li Zhe had not appeared, Ao Zheng would still have broken the pot, but Li Zhe had already appeared, and this could not be changed.
After thinking about it for a long time, Ao Zhengcai shook his head slightly, sighed, and disappeared into the hall.
"What do you have to report?"
Within the small world portal, a voice floated out leisurely.
At the same time, Ao Zheng also fell outside the portal. He hesitated for a moment and then whispered: "Four elite members of the Dragon Clan died. The reason is unknown. The original exploration plan may have to be changed."
"Um?"
The voice paused for a moment and then fell silent, obviously waiting for Ao Zheng's report.
Ao Zheng took a deep breath and said slowly: "My son-in-law's strength is unparalleled among the younger generation. I want to... take him there, and when the time is up, let him explore alone!"
After Ao Zheng finished speaking, there was no sound in the small world portal.
Seeing this, Ao Zheng didn't dare to say anything. He just stood there respectfully, waiting for the reply from inside.
"You are the leader of the Ao clan. Naturally, you have your considerations in the plans you make. Now that my energy is limited, I will no longer participate. However, the matter of essence and blood must not be delayed!"
I don't know how long it took before the voice slowly replied: "As for the death of those four people, I am unable to investigate now. You can solve it yourself. Don't let anyone mess up the plan."
Listening to this voice, Ao Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up and he said respectfully: "Yes! What Ao Zheng does will definitely satisfy the ancestor."
"That's it."
The voice responded leisurely and then disappeared.
At this moment, Li Zhe was sitting quietly in his room, practicing cross-legged. Little did he know that what he originally thought was a thrilling trip was already quietly moving towards the direction he most wanted to see.
However, I don't know what Li Zhe will think after knowing that Ao Zheng has placed such a heavy bet on himself. After all, he is not such a ruthless person.
