C1076 Getting out of Danger
"Father, Shangguan Bo has something to report." Shangguan Bo stood out.
"Speak!" Shangguan Feiyang looked at Shangguan Bo.
Shangguan Bo said, "Father, because of Third Elder's negligence, the crystal mine of the family in Lin Xi was robbed. I think we must not let it go. We must punish him severely."
"That's right, father. Shangguan Yih thinks so too." At this moment, Shangguan Yih stood out at the same time.
"What do you all think?" Shangguan Feiyang's eyes fell on the other side.
"Patriarch, meritorious deeds must be rewarded and punished. This is the teachings of the Shangguan family that has been passed down for thousands of years." The Fourth Elder of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Hong, also stood out and said.
"Hehe, Elder Shangguan Hong, isn't this a little too much? It seems that this crystal mine was obtained by Elder Qingxue. But there seems to be no reward. It seems to be a little too much for you to say these words now." Seventh Elder Shangguan Hong stood up and scoffed at Shangguan Hong.
Then, a few more Elders stood out. All of them began to support their own people.
Although Shangguan Qingxue was a female, she also had quite a number of supporters. However, this time, it was Shangguan Yih and Shangguan Bo who were working together. Therefore, the situation was gradually disadvantageous to Shangguan Qingxue.
Shangguan Qingxue was expressionless, as if everything she said had nothing to do with her.
Shangguan Feiyang was also a little hesitant at this moment. After all, Shangguan Qingxue was also his daughter. But Shangguan Yih and Shangguan Bo were also his sons. He had to seriously consider their suggestions. He couldn't help it. Shangguan Feiyang's gaze landed on the Supreme Elder Shangguan Tai.
"Supreme elder, what do you think?" Shangguan Feiyang asked Shangguan Tai respectfully.
Although Shangguan Tai had long forgotten about the matters of the Shangguan family. However, as the supreme elder of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Tai's status was very important. Even Shangguan Feiyang had to respect his opinion. Shangguan Tai's appearance this time was to provide support for the elders' meeting. As the only high-ranked Martial Emperor in the Shangguan family. Shangguan Tai was in charge, so he was naturally able to maintain the order of the scene.
"Logically speaking, I shouldn't interfere. But Fourth Elder is right. One must be rewarded for meritorious service, and one must be punished for overdoing it. As for how to deal with it, that will depend on the Patriarch's own opinion." After Shangguan Tai finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
Although Shangguan Tai didn't clearly express how to deal with it, the meaning of the Supreme Elder was also very clear. It was to punish Shangguan Qingxue.
"Qingxue, don't blame father. Father also doesn't want to do this." Shangguan Feiyang felt helpless in his heart.
"Because of Shangguan Qingxue's negligence, we lost the family's crystal mine. As the patriarch of the Shangguan family, I will exempt Shangguan Qingxue from the status of the Third Elder and be demoted as the deacon of the Shangguan family." Shangguan Feiyang said with an expressionless face.
Shangguan Qingxue's eyes darkened. At this moment, she also felt somewhat helpless. Even though she had already prepared herself this time, she was still unable to withstand the joint attack of Shangguan Yih and Shangguan Bo.
Shangguan Yih and Shangguan Bo were very pleased with themselves. They only needed to get rid of the position of Shangguan Qingxue's elder. This time, they were considered to have succeeded. It would be much easier to get rid of Shangguan Qingxue in the future. Shangguan Qingxue had appeared out of nowhere in these few years. The radiance on her body was too dazzling. If they did not get rid of her as soon as possible, they would feel an endless threat.
"This time, the Elder Council of the family will end here."
Just as Shangguan Feiyang was about to announce the end of the family meeting.
"Wait!"
It was Wang Zhong. Zhang Tianhao did not follow him in. After all, Zhang Tianhao had a new face in the family. If he wanted to enter the Great Hall of Elders, he would need to go through many obstacles. Therefore, in the end, Wang Zhong arranged for Zhang Tianhao to stay in Shangguan Qingxue's mansion.
"How dare you! Who allowed you to enter?" Shangguan Yih unleashed a terrifying pressure that enveloped Wang Zhong's body.
Shangguan Qingxue said coldly, "It's my housekeeper. Why? My housekeeper is looking for me. Do I need your permission?"
"Humph, of course not. It is just that there is an Elder Council here. How can your housekeeper be so reckless?" Shangguan Yih asked in a mocking manner.
"Alright, there's no need to argue. It's just a small matter." Shangguan Feiyang also felt that he had let down his daughter. He naturally did not want to fuss over such trivial matters.
"Madam, the Inheritance Bead you were looking for has been brought back by Wang Zhong." Wang Zhong said to Shangguan Qingxue.
"What Inheritance Bead?"
Shangguan Feiyang immediately stood up in excitement.
Supreme Elder Shangguan Tai also instantly opened his eyes.
"Is that true?" Shangguan Feiyang looked at Wang Zhong.
Shangguan Yih and Shangguan Bo's faces were gloomy. They had already covered several places in the Taixi City with their eyes, preventing strangers from getting close to them. They had never thought that they would miss something.
"Wang Zhong, where is the Inheritance Bead?" Shangguan Qingxue immediately walked in front of Wang Zhong.
Wang Zhong immediately took out the Inheritance Bead and held it in his palm. The blue Inheritance Bead emitted a gentle light.
"Hahaha... It's the Inheritance Bead. I never thought that after so many years, our Shangguan family has finally found the Inheritance Bead. It's really a blessing for our Shangguan family!" Shangguan Tai was very excited.
Shangguan Feiyang stroked his beard and laughed. He looked very excited.
"Hahaha, Grand Elder, the Third Elder lost his position as an elder earlier, and now, he has found the Inheritance Bead. This contribution is definitely much greater than the previous loss of the crystal mine. He should be rewarded with the Third Elder. " Shangguan Hong said.
Shangguan Tai nodded, obviously because Shangguan Qingxue had found the Inheritance Bead. He was also very satisfied with her. Then he said, "That's right, once there is a punishment, there will be a reward. Since that's the case... Shangguan Qingxue is still the Third Elder of our Shangguan family. She will also manage the properties of the Shangguan family in Spirit West City. "
Immediately, the few elders were envious of Shangguan Qingxue. Actually, it was said that she was taking care of the properties of the family. But in fact, those businesses were Shangguan Qingxue's private property. It was just that she had to pay a fixed amount every year. Moreover, Spirit West City was a relatively prosperous place even in Three Leaf Continent. This reward was considered very generous.
"How is it? Does the patriarch have any objections?"
Shangguan Tai looked at Shangguan Feiyang and asked with an indifferent tone.
"No objections, no objections..." Shangguan Feiyang said with a smile.
"Then it's decided." Shangguan Tai slightly nodded his head and left with a big smile on his face.
Shangguan Yih and Shangguan Bo's expressions were extremely gloomy at this moment. They never thought that this time, not only did they not defeat Shangguan Qingxue, they actually made her even stronger. This naturally made Shangguan Bo and Shangguan Yih so depressed that they vomited blood.
