The second elder of the Dugu Family, Dugu Cheng, couldn't help but sigh. He really didn't understand what the patriarch was thinking. In order to deal with the patriarch of the Baili Family, he actually did such a sinister and shameless thing.
He didn't have any opinion on who became the patriarch. He only hoped that the next patriarch of the Ren Family would properly reorganize the family and not do such things again, causing all kinds of crises to the family.
Dugu Cheng and Dugu Cheng Chi didn't speak because they both knew that whoever spoke first would be regarded as coveting the patriarch's position for a long time, and the old ancestor would be dissatisfied with him.
Dugu Cheng Li took in the expressions of Dugu Cheng Chi and the other two and frowned. If the family continued like this, it would sooner or later be destroyed. But the Great Elder and the Third Elder didn't know. They only knew how to fight for power.
The second elder didn't care much about the family's affairs.
The patriarch was usually messing around.
He sighed deeply in his heart. The family was now in a mess.
He, as the old ancestor, had the will but lacked the ability. The old ancestor didn't have much power to intervene in the family's affairs.
Speaking of which, the most powerful person in the family was the patriarch. In the family's chaos, there was no patriarch or elder to take charge, so the old ancestor took charge.
In this kind of situation, he couldn't care so much.
"Do the Great Elder and the Third Elder think that the next patriarch will be one of you two?"
Dugu Cheng Li's tone was cold, mixed with a trace of hostility, "I can see through your thoughts at a glance."
"I, as the old ancestor, don't have much power to manage the family's affairs, but now the family is in a crisis. I have the right to deal with people who threaten the family, such as you two."
Dugu Cheng Chi and Dugu Cheng Chi's heart thumped. They quickly knelt on the ground, their faces paled, and said in unison, "Old ancestor, we don't dare!"
They had always hidden their thoughts well, who knew that the old ancestor could see through them at a glance.
The old ancestor didn't have much power to manage the family's affairs, but the old ancestor was the most respected person in the family. He had the highest cultivation in the family, and had the power to deal with people who had bad intentions.
"Whether I dare or not, the two of you know better than me."
Dugu Li heaved a heavy sigh. "I won't say anything about you two fighting for power and profit. This is normal in life.
But now that the family is facing a life and death crisis, the two of you are not thinking about how to solve the family's current predicament.
"Without the Dugu Family, the two of you are nothing. You're only thinking about fighting for the position of Family Head.
The Baili Clan said that if our Dugu Family handed over the Clan Head, they would not pursue the matter of the past. However, the enmity between the Baili Clan and our Dugu Family has already been created. The Baili Clan will continue to target our Dugu Family until our Dugu Family is exterminated.
Death. "
Dugu Shi and Dugu Duchi didn't think about this. They thought that after one of them became the Patriarch, they would apologize to the Baili Clan.
However, they had forgotten that what Dugu Shun had done had caused the Baili Family to hate the Dugu Family.
They would not rest until the Dugu Family was dead.
The Old Ancestor was right. Without the Dugu Family, they were nothing, not to mention becoming the Clan Head.
"Old Ancestor, this young one knows his mistake." After resolving the family's crisis, it wouldn't be too late to plan for the Clan Head position.
How could Dugu Li not see through the thoughts of Dugu Shi and Dugu Duchi? He sighed lightly. Power was the easiest way to confuse people and lead them astray. "The Clan Head should choose carefully. For the time being, the three of you will jointly manage the family's affairs." "The three of you must remember one thing. As long as the Dugu Family exists, your honor will also exist.
Now that the Baili Clan has set their sights on our Dugu Family, with Barisu's temperament, he will definitely target our Dugu Family.
As for the other powers, see the Baili Clan.
With the Clan Head's sinister and shameless actions, they will gradually distance themselves from our Dugu Family.
The three of you have to work together to get through this difficult time with the family. "
It wasn't that he didn't consider choosing the Clan Head now, but choosing the Clan Head now would bring a lot of trouble.
The Great Elder and the Third Elder were determined to win the position of Patriarch. Now that the Patriarch was chosen, if it wasn't the Great Elder or the Third Elder, the two of them would definitely play tricks in the dark and bring a greater crisis to the family.
Moreover, if the Clan Head was chosen by the Great Elder or the Third Elder, the other person would definitely be dissatisfied and oppose the new Ren Family Head, which would also be disadvantageous to the Clan.
It would be better for the three Elders to jointly manage the Clan's affairs for the time being.
"Yes, Old Ancestor."
Dugu Li and the three Elders of the Dugu Family discussed a series of matters.
On the second day, the Dugu Family announced a lot of things to the public and sincerely apologized to the Baili Clan. They promised to hand over the Dugu Shun in the shortest time possible and let the Baili Clan deal with him.
The Dugu Family's announcement caused an uproar in the outside world.
Most people were waiting to see the Dugu Family's good show. Few people believed that the Dugu Family would have such a big change.
Regardless of what outsiders thought, the Dugu Family carried out a series of reorganization under the leadership of their Old Ancestor, Dugu Li.
Shangguan Residence.
Shangguan Wan had returned to the Clan for many days. In addition to dealing with the Clan's affairs, she ordered people to pay attention to the Dugu Family and the Baili Clan's movements.
On this day, just as she finished dealing with the affairs, Shangguan Menghan and Shangguan Xia knocked on the door and walked in.
Shangguan Menghan was Shangguan Wan's most beloved granddaughter. She was spoiled to the point that her personality was somewhat pure and she didn't know that people were sinister. She was well protected by the Shangguan Family.
Shangguan Xia was Shangguan Wan's concubine's granddaughter. She was very cowardly and could only endure when she was bullied. Shangguan Menghan often took care of her and helped her a lot.
With Shangguan Menghan protecting her, no one in the Shangguan Family dared to go against her openly.
"Grandmother, have you finished dealing with your affairs?"
Shangguan Menghan smiled and walked to Shangguan Wan's side, skillfully massaging her. "I have something to discuss with Grandmother."
"Granddaughter greets Master." Shangguan Xia bowed with a cowardly look.
Shangguan Wan glanced at Shangguan Xia indifferently, disgust flashing in her eyes.
When she looked at Shangguan Menghan, she was full of affection, and her tone was very gentle. "Why are you looking for Grandmother?"
"Grandmother, I am curious about Young Master Feng and Young Master Long."
She also heard from Xia Xia, and Xia Xia said that she also heard from others that Young Master Feng and Young Master Long were very charming and were one in a million.
In the past few days, she had heard the most about Young Master Feng and Young Master Long, as well as the Dugu family.
"Is Young Master Feng really that powerful?
I heard that Young Master Long is a rare talent. "Her cheeks were slightly red. It was said that there weren't many youths in the White Cloud Continent who could compare to Young Master Long.
Shangguan Wan glared at Shangguan Menghan, raised her hand and lightly knocked her forehead, reminding her, "I am warning you, you are not allowed to have any thoughts about Long Yu."
"Young Master Feng is not an ordinary woman. She is not only the young master of the Baili Family, but also the future Master of the Baili Family.
She is also a genius young girl and a grandmaster alchemist. She has the ability to prevent Long Yu from taking a concubine.
Moreover, I will not let you become him.
