In the ancestral hall, Zuo Tu and the master's family were lined up on both sides, and Zhao Chun and Tu Cunchan were the last to arrive.
"For important matters in the clan, the clan leader has to shun outsiders." Tu Cunzhi had already taken his seat. He still looked weak when he spoke, with only his big gong eyes widening.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao is a disciple of the main sect and cannot be considered an outsider. What's more, I informed the main family yesterday and invited him to be a guest to discuss business matters with the owner. Zuo Tu is originally a side branch of the sect, so it is normal for him not to know about it."
These words made Tu Cunzhi frown, and said in a strange tone: "I don't know when the master of the family became so arbitrary. No one in the master's family even tried to persuade him, and he did such ridiculous things."
"Whether it is absurd or not, it has been decided and cannot be changed." Tu Cunchan said loudly, glanced coldly at the Zuo Tu tribe, and walked to the big seat in the middle.
He naturally sat in the main seat, and Zhao Shun was also invited to sit on the right, just below him.
Everyone had arrived, and Tu Cunchan didn't want to beat around the bush, so he simply got straight to the point: "Today we are holding this clan meeting, and the intention has been conveyed in advance. Cong Wen has been raised by me since he was a child. In terms of talent, temperament, and ability, in the master's family, There is no one who can match him. Now that I am no longer able to take care of the affairs of the clan, I want to hand over the title of head of the family to him..."
"Master, what you said is wrong!" Tu Cunzhi had already raised his eyebrows when he heard the words of someone else who could not compare with him. Without waiting for Tu Cun's words, he interrupted hastily: "If the master's family doesn't have one, it doesn't mean that I am." Zuo Tu doesn’t have it!”
"In terms of closeness, Tu Mian is only a great-nephew, not as good as Tu Congwen, a direct great-grandson. But in terms of ability, everyone here has the eyes to see who is stronger or weaker, Tu Mian or Tu Congwen..."
Before the clan meeting, Tu Cunchan knew that he would work hard on this matter, but when he actually said this, he was still so angry that he was speechless for a moment.
After calming down for a while, he said angrily: "You also know the difference between relatives and strangers! As early as when Zuo Tu separated his family, he exterminated your clan. In recent years, you have done so in the name of erecting a monument for your father. Reluctantly re-entering your direct line into the record."
"You have committed the crime of splitting the clan, and yet you dare to try to get involved in the position of the head of the family!"
"Master! Please listen to Tu Mian!"
The young man standing out from Zuo Tu with a smile on his face was none other than the other person in the turmoil, Zuo Tu's young master, Tu Mian.
He first faced Chang Ji, and after doing all the etiquette, he said sonorously and forcefully: "The move of Zuo Tu back then was indeed harmful to the Tu family. It is precisely because of this that I, Zuo Tu, have built a clan monument to Tianyi clan. I want to make up for my big mistake with this small act."
"Nowadays, the Tu family has enemies outside and is uncertain internally. It is in need of a head of the family who can calm the outside world and stabilize the inside, so that the Tu family can revive the style of the Tu family. Although Mian is not talented, he cannot guarantee that he can eliminate the external enemies, but he can deal with the internal affairs. Mian Ke promises that if he succeeds as the head of the family, Zuo Tu will be merged into the master's family immediately, and all the income that he has captured in the past for nearly a hundred years will be handed over to the family. From now on, there will be no more Zuo Tu! There will only be one branch of the main family of the Tu family!"
The atmosphere in the ancestral hall suddenly changed, and many people in the master's family were eager to move.
Tu Mian did not stop, and said: "Mian is the same age as Cong Wentang's nephew, and he has reached the third level of Qi training yesterday! I dare to ask the head of the family, will the position of the head of the family be judged by your personal proximity, or by the descendants? In terms of ability!”
His words were so heartbreaking that they made Tu Cunchan's face turn red.
Zhao Chun really wanted to look at Tu Mian with admiration. With such a character in Zuo Tu, it would not be difficult to revive him in the future. It is a pity that he is involved with the Renyang Sect...
Today's battle for the head of the family was supposed to involve Tu Congwen and Tu Mian fighting to determine the winner.
Just now I learned that Tu Mian had advanced to the third level of Qi training, and Tu Cunchan did not intend to repeat this matter.
Although the initial strength gap was limited, Tu Congwen's chances of winning were already slim. If he asked him to take action rashly, he would be humiliated on the spot, completely eliminating the possibility of him succeeding as the head of the family.
Tu Cunchan's mind turned over and over again, thinking carefully about how to reverse the situation, but Tu Congwen stood up and said sternly: "Master, Congwen is willing to fight Tu Mian, and the winner will succeed, no matter what!"
Before Tu Cunchan could object, Tu Mian said: "I'm willing to fight!"
The third level of Qi training versus the second level of Qi training was a battle with almost a huge disparity in outcome. Tu Cunchan fell on the big chair and lost his sense of proportion.
Outside the ancestral hall is the fighting platform made of bluestone. In the world of Hengyun, the pursuit of strength can be seen.
Tu Cunchan was helped out by someone, his face was pale, and he looked sad and angry.
Zhao Shun followed beside him, but he was very calm, which made him suspicious: "Fellow Taoist is so calm and composed, but what can you do?"
"It's not a good idea, it's only 50% sure."
Tu Cunchan was even more doubtful: "This..."
Zhao Chun brushed away the broken hair from his forehead and looked at him steadily: "No matter what hidden tricks Master Tu has, bring them out. If my guess is true, your brother is more courageous than you think... …”
