Senior brother, stop it, you are the villain!

Chapter 279: Big Gamble (Part 2)

This decision of Murong Hou caused a great uproar among the elders of the Murong family.

Many people did not expect that Murong Hou would make such an important decision at this time!

Someone immediately stood up and angrily said to Murong Hou: "Patriarch, what do you mean? You actually want to bring the entire Murong family to support a former saint who has already lost the battle? Do you want to bring the entire Murong family into the bottomless abyss?"

The person who spoke was named Murong Quan. In the Murong family elders' council, he was famous for his firm support for the faction of the great elder. Even after the split of Ziqing Holy Land, he still believed that the only way out for the Murong family now was to rely on the great elder, otherwise the Murong family would face a catastrophe.

Murong Hou had long expected Murong Quan to oppose, so it was not surprising. He sneered and said to Murong Quan: "Elder Quan, you still want to cling to the elder's thigh at this time, right? Have you forgotten how the elder treated our Murong family after the Qiankun Palace incident?"

Murong Quan was very confident about this: "Isn't it because the elder thought that Murong Pianpian had died in Qiankun Palace, so he thought that the Murong family had no value? Now that Murong Pianpian has returned, we have value to the elder!"

When these words came out, many people frowned secretly.

Murong Quan simply put the words "kneeling and licking" on the surface.

But some people seemed to be thinking about it, as if they were seriously thinking about Murong Quan's words.

In fact, if dignity is not considered, Murong Quan's words are not completely unreasonable. Anyway, dignity is relative. It doesn't matter if you don't have dignity in front of Ziqing Holy Land, just find your dignity in front of outsiders. Even if they act like a dog in front of the elder, they can still act like an emperor in front of most people.

This result is not unacceptable.

Murong Hou's face darkened, and he shouted angrily: "Elder Quan, listen to what you are saying! Are you going to make the entire Murong family work like dogs?"

Murong Quan sneered: "Murong Hou, what is the current situation of the Murong family? As the patriarch, don't you know anything at all? Now the Great Elder has the power in the Purple Clear Holy Land. What qualifications does Tang Fei, a mere Holy Son with no support, have to fight the Great Elder? Can he defeat the Great Elder? I'm afraid that not only will he fail to overthrow the Great Elder, but he will also bring down all those who are related to him?"

Tang Fei pulled the corner of his mouth and said nothing.

Murong Quan didn't even look at him, and continued to say to others: "Tang Fei's title of Holy Son is not a banner at all, but the source of disaster! As long as he still has this title, even if he does nothing, it will bring disaster to him and the people around him! Therefore, I propose to capture Tang Fei and present him to the Great Elder! And our Murong family can also rely on this merit to become a first-class family!"

When these words came out, many people couldn't help but secretly moved, and their eyes looking at Tang Fei also had a hint of eagerness.

Murong Hou was furious. He slammed the table and shouted: "Murong Quan, you are the elder of the family, but you can say such shameless words! I will say this today. From now on, my Murong family will fully support the Holy Son Tang Fei. If anyone opposes, you might as well stand up now!"

Murong Quan's face sank: "Murong Hou, although you are the head of the family, you have no right to make such an important decision on behalf of the Murong family!"

Murong Hou sneered: "Murong Quan, do you really think I don't know what you did yesterday?"

As soon as these words came out, Murong Quan's face suddenly changed.

"Hmph! Not long after Saint Tang Fei came to my Murong family yesterday, you sent someone to the Purple Purity Holy Land. Do you really think I don't know that you were there to tip off? Unfortunately, the person you sent out has been intercepted by me! You said that I made decisions for the family without authorization, but when you did this, did you get authorization from the Council of Elders?"

Murong Quan said calmly, "I don't know what you are talking about. You are simply trying to find a pretext to accuse me!"

Murong Hou shook his head and sighed, "You won't cry until you see the coffin!"

He suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Bring the man up!"

A moment later, a young man tied up was brought to the hall. Everyone saw him and started to talk about it.

"Isn't this man Murong Ze from the lineage of Elder Quan? Did Elder Quan send him to the Purple Purity Holy Land to tip off?"

"How could Murong Quan make such a decision without authorization? Didn't he consider the situation of our Murong family?"

"Humph! At this time, Murong Quan is still dreaming of clinging to the thigh of the elder! He is simply making a joke of the entire Murong family!"

...

After Murong Pianpian was trapped in the Qiankun Palace, the rapid change in the attitude of the elder had chilled most of the Murong family, and many people began to resist continuing to rely on the elder. Although Murong Pianpian has returned safely, most of them still think that relying on the elder is not a wise choice. Some radicals even think that relying on the Tiangang Sword Sect is better than continuing to cling to the thigh of the elder!

Therefore, in the Elders' Council, the "dependence on the elder" faction headed by Murong Quan seems very unsociable.

Murong Pianpian's safe return was originally great news for the Murong family, which meant that the Murong family had another choice. But this Murong Quan actually tipped off the information to the First Elder without consulting anyone, which is simply forcing the entire Murong family into a dead end!

How can this not arouse everyone's anger?

Murong Hou looked at Murong Quan, whose face turned very ugly, and said coldly: "Murong Quan, I see what else you have to say!"

After Murong Quan was silent for a long time, he suddenly sneered and said: "Okay! Okay! Okay! You Murong Hou is amazing, you are noble, you have to lead the whole family to fight against the great elder with dignity, and lead them to have dignity Go to hell! But I am different from you, I want to live! In this case, we have different ways and have no plans to work together. I, Murong Quan, will resign as the family elder today. Our lineage will no longer be related to the master's family! Everyone, farewell!"

With that said, Murong Quan turned around and left.

Someone wanted to stop Murong Quan, but Murong Hou said coldly: "Let him go! You have all heard what he said, their lineage will have nothing to do with the master's family in the future. From now on, bridge to bridge, road On the way back, whether my master’s family lives or dies has nothing to do with your Murong Quan lineage!”

Murong Quan snorted coldly and walked away.

Tang Fei looked at the scene in front of him, but couldn't help but glance at Murong Hou.

Murong Hou's move seemed to create a split within the Murong family, but if you think about it carefully, the advantages of doing so far outweigh the disadvantages.

Although Murong Hou is the patriarch of the Murong family, his power is not enough to dominate the Murong family. In addition to his lineage, there are several factions that are not on his side. Now he is determined to support Tang Fei, but this is a very risky choice and will inevitably cause disputes within the Murong family. Murong Quan was undoubtedly the faction with the loudest opposition.

Murong Hou knew that he could not convince Murong Quan, so he had no choice but to expel Murong Quan and his family from the Murong family. If possible, he would even drive out more branches that make different sounds, just to make the internal voices reach a consensus. Only in this way can the Murong family, which has only one voice within it, truly become a Murong family that can do great things.

And this is exactly what Tang Fei, who currently lacks any background, needs.

No wonder Marquis Murong asked him to attend this meeting of elders. The real purpose was here.

It seems that I have underestimated this future father-in-law!

Sure enough, in the following meeting, some elders still raised objections to Murong Hou's decision. When Murong Hou refused to compromise, another branch chose to withdraw from the main family. As for the other elders, although they still criticized Murong Hou's decision, they at least openly supported Murong Hou's decision.

At this point, the Murong family has reached a consensus and is on Tang Fei's side.

Even if some people are still opposed, since they are still sitting here, it means that they have made a decision. No matter what they think in their hearts, they must stand clearly on Tang Fei's side in the future, and they will both prosper and suffer.

As the "flag" of the Murong family, Tang Fei said a few inspiring words at the meeting. No matter what everyone thought in their hearts, at least the applause was quite warm.

After the meeting, Murong Hou pulled Tang Fei and said he wanted to catch up on old times. Tang Fei didn't want to say too much to Murong Hou, but considering Murong Pianpian's position, he could only agree.

Murong Hou chose the place where the conversation would take place, which was his study room.

After entering the study, Murong Hou actually poured a cup of tea for Tang Fei himself, and then said to Tang Fei sincerely: "Tang Shengzi, now our Murong family has put all our efforts and pinned all our hopes on you. This is Not only because of your identity, but also because you are Pianpian’s future husband. No matter what the outcome is, I hope you can treat Pianpian well, and I hope Tang Shengzi can agree to this small request of mine!”

After saying that, Murong Hou bowed deeply to Tang Fei.

Tang Fei quickly helped Murong Hou up and said: "Uncle, I really upset this junior! No matter what uncle tells me or not, I will treat Pianpian kindly. Please don't worry, uncle!"

Murong Hou smiled happily and said, "If that's the case, then I'd like to thank Tang Shengzi!"

These few short sentences can be regarded as the establishment of a relationship. Tang Fei has admitted the relationship between Murong Pianpian and him, and Murong Hou will also fully support Tang Fei as Tang Fei's relative.

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Now that the relationship has been established, there is no need to hide some things. Murong Hou went straight to the topic and asked Tang Fei: "Tang Shengzi, I wonder what you are going to do next in dealing with the First Elder? Is there anything we, the Murong Family, need to do?"

After Tang Fei pondered for a moment, he nodded slowly: "Yes."

Murong Hou's eyes lit up: "Please, Holy Son, please speak clearly."

Tang Fei said: "Although the Great Elder's lineage seems to be extremely powerful in the Purple Pure Holy Land, in fact, his foundation has long been unstable and it is difficult to convince the public. Especially for me, he both wants me to die and is afraid that I will really die. Then, the best result for him is to let me die at the hands of the second elder. In this way, he will get rid of a serious problem and become famous to the second elder, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

Having said this, Tang Fei smiled and said: "So what we have to do now is to wait for the Great Elder to take action."
