Chapter 289: Selecting the position of the head of the family

Zhou Lishan said a lot of polite words in the hall, but was finally sent back by two maids. At this time, only Chen Xuan and Zhou Ruoxue were left in the hall. The two of them looked at each other, and then Zhou Ruoxue's eyes were avoided.

"Brother Chen, then do you really have a way to relieve the poison on my father?" Zhou Ruoxue said weakly.

"I'll do my best. I didn't really take me seriously if I can detoxify it. I'll try my best. In a day, I will come up with a plan to see if it can detoxify your father's body."

"Then I would like to thank Brother Chen. As long as the poison on my father is cured, I can do it even for Brother Chen to make a cow or horse," Zhou Ruoxue said with a full will.

"Miss Zhou is serious, and it is still unknown whether it can be solved. Even if she really relieves the poison on Ling's father, it can be considered a good fate. I don't care about anything in return."

The two chatted like this in the hall for an hour before Chen Xuan was sent back to an exquisite courtyard, where two maids were serving at any time.

At this time, on the other side of the Zhou family, dozens of old men were sitting in a large house, sitting side by side on both sides. In the middle, there was a man in his forties, and there were more than a dozen young men standing behind him. The middle-aged man was also rolling his energy, and he had reached the middle stage of the Yuanwu realm.

"Elders, you must have seen what happened today. We have been defending Zhou Lishan as the patriarch over the years, and we are understandable. But today he has completely given up the requirement of "Morodan". In other words, it is already sunset and dusk in Zhou Lishan, which has been maintained for less than a few days. So I suggest that the Zhou family choose another position as the head of the family. This is why I called the elders here today."

The middle-aged man said to dozens of old men sitting in two rows.

More than a dozen elders looked at each other, and then one elder said, "We have indeed heard about today's events. Moreover, the people from the Hu family did not take our Zhou family seriously at all. They also injured several disciples. The Hu family was also too bullying. However, we voted to decide on the matter of establishing a new head of the family. If seven votes agree, then we can dismiss his head of the family."

"I agree with the sixth elder's meaning. We voted to decide that our Zhou family has been regressing over the years, and we really need a wise master to lead our Zhou family to glory again. After all, our Zhou family is also a family that has been passed down for thousands of years. I didn't expect that it would be a second-rate family in these years." Another old Taoist Zhang who was far behind, after saying that, the elder secretly glanced at the man in his forties.

"Even if we voted to remove Zhou Lishan, we had no suitable candidate as the head of the family at this time. After all, he is the only one in the family who has reached the peak of the Yuanwu realm, and he has the opportunity to touch the threshold of the spiritual realm, so I suggest that this matter can be suspended for a while." Another elder Taoist.

"Who said there is no suitable candidate? I think 'Zhou Liyuan' is the best candidate. Although his strength cannot keep up with Zhou Lishan, he is now in the middle stage of the Yuanwu realm. Even if Zhou Lishan is at the peak of Yuanwu, it is still a thing in the past. Therefore, the matter of re-selecting the head of the family is also urgent," said the youngest elder who began to propose to choose the head of the family again.

After saying this, the people below began to discuss, some agreed and some opposed it, but the opinions were not unified. The man in his forty sitting in the middle looked at the arguments of these people, his eyes were cold and his eyes kept flashing.

Everyone argued, and no one could convince anyone. There were always a few people who did not agree to choose another head of the family. These were the few people who were determined to support Zhou Lishan, but they also had some wavering will at this time. After all, no one wanted their family to perish.

"What's going on with all the elders? Are you just watching the demise of the Zhou family without any hesitation?" the middle-aged man said in a voice.

"Zhou Liyuan, I know you have always wanted to be the head of the family, but we cannot agree to this matter. Besides, Zhou Lishan did not do anything to be sorry for the family. It is a bit unreasonable to dismiss him. Wait for a while before talking about it," an elder said firmly.

"Four Elders, I know that you received the favor of Zhou Lishan back then, so now you only speak from Zhou Lishan's standpoint, but have you ever thought that the Zhou family is no longer the Zhou family ten years ago, so choosing another head of the family is urgent. Today, we must launch a new head of the family." The youngest elder stood up and retorted.

"Zhou Ming, don't be rude. Even if I have not received the life-saving favor from Zhou Lishan, I will not agree with Zhou Liyuan's election as the head of the family. I am the first to object." The fourth elder who had just spoken said fiercely.

"Dialogue... After all, you are not trying to repay a favor from that year. If you weren't surrounded by others, how could Zhou Lishan be poisoned? After all, you are the culprit. If it weren't for you, the Zhou family wouldn't have fallen to such a level, from a second-rate family to a last-rate family," the youngest elder said with a provocative tone.

"You, you... Zhou Ming, you are just talking nonsense, what does it mean that I am the culprit of the family..." The fourth elder was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Am I wrong? Am I wrong? What are you qualified to stand up today to oppose the position of another head of the family? I think you are selfish and have not considered the family at all, so today I still propose to re-elect the head of the family." The elder reiterated again, ignoring the four elders whose body was trembling.

"Zhou Ming is right. In recent years, our Zhou family needs a leader. Otherwise, we will face disintegration sooner or later and be annexed by other forces," said an elder who was in ambiguous manner.

"Second Elder, even you agree to choose another position as the head of the family. You have always supported Zhou Lishan." The fourth elder said to the elder who was just talking in a grief and angry tone.

"Fourth brother, it's not that I don't support Tateyama, but the current situation no longer allows us to have any selfishness. Let's vote." The elder ignored the fourth elder, and it seemed that he had made a great decision.

"Okay, okay...you all feel that Tateyama is not worthy of being the head of the family now, and they all want to dismiss him. I won't participate in any voting yet, you can choose it yourself." After saying that, the elder walked out and left a back for everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect that the fourth elder was so angry that he left, leaving more than a dozen people behind.

"Since the fourth elders do not participate in the voting, they can only vote abstain. If we agree to choose another head of the family, please raise our hands. Those who remain neutral do not need to raise our hands." The youngest elder has been constantly organizing.

A dozen people took a look and understood in their hearts that it seemed that they had to choose another head of the family today, and many people present had already wanted to choose another head of the family, but there were several elders who had been suppressing each other over the years, so it took ten years to wait. Perhaps no one could have thought that this poison could not be lifted for ten years.
