Yuan Tianzun

  Chapter 63 Licheng can be the master

   For a while, there was complete silence in the ancestral hall.

  All members of the Wu clan looked at Wu Yuan in astonishment, and some even showed anger. They couldn't believe that Wu Yuan would say such a thing.

   "Young master!"

   "It seems a bit too much." Wu Xiong and Fang Ying looked at each other, a little puzzled.

  If what Wu Yuan said in the first half has some truth, but the last sentence accuses him of disloyalty, righteousness and filial piety?

   In their opinion, a bit too much!

  The Great Elder of the Wu family should be regarded as Wu Yuan's undisputed elder in the hearts of everyone including Wu Xiong and the others.

   "Wu Yuan." The Great Elder had a top-notch self-cultivation, but being so accused in front of many clansmen, he couldn't hold back at all, and his face became gloomy.

many years.

  No member of the Wu clan dared to do this. This is no longer a confrontation, but an open 'rebellion'!

   Wu Yuan looked calm.

  How sharp is his perception? Naturally, he could sense the change in everyone's attitude, and understand why Wu Xiong, Fang Ying and others were puzzled.

   "Don't understand? That's right." Wu Yuan thought to himself.

  Normally speaking, if the master invites himself to join, he can just decline. Even if the other party is dissatisfied, due to his current status, he will not say anything more.

  And what he said was actively guiding and pushing the relationship between the two parties to a 'breakup'.

   "In Middle-earth, clan etiquette and bloodlines are emphasized... unfortunately, I don't care much." Wu Yuan was extremely indifferent in his heart.

  Of course Wu Yuan understood that even if the main sect didn't help the Licheng branch, the branch also took advantage of the momentum.

  My own accusation is indeed a bit excessive.

   "However, only by turning my face today, can I take the lead in handling the relationship with the chief sect in the future." Wu Yuan has long thought it through.

  Different from the mother, the Wu family from Licheng.

  They helped him too much, and the fused memory of the original body even affected Wu Yuan unknowingly.

  So, to help the Licheng Wu family, Wu Yuan is willing!

  But most of them are out of the psychology of 'repaying', rather than Wu Yuan's real emphasis on the so-called 'family inheritance' in his heart.

   Besides, the Wu family in Licheng is very weak, with only a few hundred members.

  Once Wu Yuan is truly powerful and occupies a high position in the Hengyun Sect, it will be easy to help, just a matter of words.

   But the main family of the Wu family is different, this is a big family that has been passed down for a long time!

   And Wu Yuan was not familiar with them.

   "The bond will be ten times stronger than that of the Licheng Wu family." Wu Yuan thought to himself.

  He has learned a lot about the main family of the Wu family. If you count the relatives of the clan, there are thousands of people, and there are even two second-rate masters, and the number of third-rate masters is even more.

  Once Wu Yuan becomes strong, the chief sect of the Wu clan will definitely take advantage of the momentum and even expand wildly.

  This kind of family expansion has always been justified, but for Wu Yuan, it will cause a lot of trouble.

   Even in the future, it will take a lot of time and energy to deal with these chores.

   "Whether the chief sect's 'principal' is sensible or not, it doesn't affect them causing me great trouble."

"In the future, if I don't help the chief sect when I am in a high position, I will only attract more accusations and confusion." Wu Yuan has already made a decision: "Now, turn your face first, and whether you will help the chief sect in the future or not. It’s not good for the world to say anything.”

  Bang, just a thought.

   There are also reasons for not helping.

  Perhaps, the current actions will make many people think that Wu Yuan is 'ignorant' and 'young and frivolous', but the impact is far less than that of 'not helping' in the future.

  After all, Wu Yuan only fell out with the chief sect, not because he didn't care about his family and left the Licheng Wu clan behind.

   Besides, Wu Yuan had a plan long ago. In the future, he would secretly make compensation to the sect master, but it would not be made public.

  Warriors act only with a clear conscience.

   "Turn face now? I'm afraid, some high-ranking sects will say that I value love and righteousness, and don't think my family is poor." Wu Yuan felt calm.

   While thinking about it, Wu Yuan's face actively 'emerged' with a look of rebelliousness.

   I hope that the 'Great Elder' will take the initiative to turn his face!

   "Wu Yuan, I am the Great Elder of the Wu Clan, not only the Great Elder of the main sect of the Wu Clan, but also the Great Elder of the branches of the Six Commanderies!" The Great Elder said in a low voice, staring at Wu Yuan, "You understand."

   "Understood." Wu Yuan said lightly.

  Seeing Wu Yuan's nonchalant expression, the Great Elder was furious in his heart, and finally couldn't suppress it anymore, and he was angrily scolding: "You..."

  Suddenly.

   "Great Elder, it's not easy for Wu Yuan to come here." A steady voice suddenly came from outside the ancestral hall, the sound echoed in the ancestral hall like a bell.

  The face of the great elder changed slightly, and he turned his head to look.

   All members of the Wu clan inside and outside the ancestral hall looked at the same.

   "It's the patriarch!"

   "Isn't the patriarch patrolling the local city guards in other counties?"

   "The patriarch came back overnight?" A burst of whispered discussions spread among the crowd, allowing Wu Yuan to instantly understand who was coming.

  The main patriarch of the Wu clan, Wu Mao.

  The "General" of the Third Battalion of the Nanmengfu City Guards, a second-rate master, commanding two thousand soldiers, is also the Wu family's highest status in Hengyunzong.

  Clatter~ The crowd parted.

  A group of guards cleared the way, and a burly man over two meters tall in general armor walked up to the statue of the ancestor in the ancestral hall.

   "Patriarch, do you know..." the Great Elder spoke first.

   "I know everything." Patriarch Wu Mao took incense and lit it to worship the portrait of the ancestor and the tablet below.

  The Great Elder couldn't help but shut up.

  After the three prayers were completed, the patriarch Wu Mao put incense on it, and then he looked at the Great Elder: "Great Elder, since I am back, let me handle Wu Yuan's affairs."

  The great elder was furious, but seeing the solemn face of the patriarch Wu Mao, he could only muffle: "Okay."

  In terms of seniority, he is higher than Wu Mao.

   On status? It doesn't matter if the Wu clan loses him as a great elder, but if Wu Mao is missing, the whole clan will be shaken.

   "Wu Yuan." Wu Mao then turned to look at Wu Yuan with a smile on his face.

   "Patriarch." Wu Yuan remained calm.

"You don't have to take the words of the elders too seriously. They want you to join the main sect, and they just want to grow the Wu family together." The patriarch Wu Mao is half a head taller than Wu Yuan, and he wears armor, but he doesn't give Wu Yuan any sense of oppression. .

  Wu Mao smiled and said: "You can't write two Wus in one stroke. Whether it is the Wu family of Nanmeng or the Wu family of Licheng, they all come from the same line, don't they?"

   Wu Yuan frowned slightly, but had to nod: "Yes."

   Anyway.

  Even if he doesn't want to ignore the main family, Wu Yuan can't deny Wu's ancestors.

   "You are extremely talented, and you can be called the first genius of my Wu family in hundreds of years. The ancestors will be very pleased if they know it." Patriarch Wu Mao smiled.

  Nearly a thousand people inside and outside the ancestral hall were astonished to hear this, the first genius in hundreds of years? real or fake?

   Several elders looked at each other in blank dismay.

  The patriarch didn't pursue what happened just now?

   "The patriarch is too famous." Wu Yuan said softly.

   "Whether I'm too famous, time will give us the answer." Patriarch Wu Mao still had a smile on his face: "Wu Yuan, you don't want to join the main sect, but it's because of the Wu family who left the city?"

   "Yes." Wu Yuan nodded.

   "Okay, then you don't need to be a clan member." Wu Mao smiled and said: "In addition, from today onwards, you can be listed as an elder for me as an 'elder' of the Wu family."

   There was an uproar!

  Everyone looked at Wu Mao in astonishment and couldn't believe their ears. Even Gu Ji, Wu Xiong and others couldn't figure it out.

what's the situation?

   "Patriarch, this is inconsistent with the clan rules. According to the clan rules, only those who have made great contributions can be elders, and Wu Yuan has not joined the main clan." The elder said in a low voice.

"Great Elder, a hundred years ago, the six branches separated from the sect, and the chief sect promised that each branch would be like a family." The patriarch Wu Mao said slowly: "There has never been a clan rule stating that branches are not allowed to be included in the elders' council. The branch patriarch has always been a member of the elders."

  The great elder stared.

   It is customary for each of the six major branches to reserve a seat in the family elders' council.

   But it is only in name, there is no additional power, and the branch patriarch can only restrain himself.

   "Patriarch, what the Great Elder said is correct, but it is not reasonable. I am young and ignorant, so it is not suitable." Wu Yuan took the initiative.

  He doesn't want to be an elder.

"Haha, it's not about age. If you don't want to join the main sect, don't you even want to be an elder?" The patriarch Wu Mao said with a smile: "This elders' meeting is the elders' meeting of the entire Wu family, not the main sect's." Presbyterian."

  Wu Yuan looked at the other party and smiled.

  I don't know how to refuse for a while.

   "Let's settle this matter for the time being." Wu Mao made a final decision, everyone in the Wu family looked at each other, and no one dared to object.

  In the family, Wu Mao has long been used to speaking out.

"Outstanding children of the Wu family will all be rewarded, regardless of the branch of the main clan." Wu Mao said with a smile: "Wu Yuan, once you officially join the clan, the entire Wu clan will jointly donate '20,000 taels of silver' every year. For your cultivation needs."

   "Patriarch, no need." Wu Yuan was slightly startled.

"Don't think too little, I will hold another meeting of elders and add as much as possible." Patriarch Wu Mao said with a smile: "Don't worry, although my Wu family is not a big family, but you need to practice, I will definitely do my best. Is it possible that you have to reject?"

   "This is not provided by the head of the Wu clan, but the entire Wu clan, unless you don't think you are a member of the Wu clan." Wu Mao shook his head.

   Wu Yuan was dumbfounded.

  The hundreds of members of the Wu clan on the side were all dumbfounded. Twenty thousand taels of silver a year? God!

  In their perception, Wu Yuan is just a little martial artist!

  Can you spend so much money in a year?

   "Patriarch, thank you." Wu Yuan said slowly.

   Reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Wu Mao is a second-rate master and the head of a big clan. If he expresses dissatisfaction with such a gesture, it will be too much.

   "Wu Yuan, I know the reason for your hesitation." Wu Mao smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, the change of the clan branch is a common thing in ancient times."

   "I promise you."

   "When you became the second rank and became the elder of the sect, the Wu family in Licheng was the head of my Wu family." Wu Mao said solemnly.

   I was dumbfounded.

  Wu Yuan looked at Wu Mao in surprise, wondering if his ears heard it wrong.

  Zongzhi change flag?

  Yes, this is a common thing since ancient times!

   But in most cases, it is a branch of a large clan that becomes self-reliant and eventually completely surpasses the original main sect, rather than the main sect voluntarily abdicating.

   Just like the struggle for the throne, there have been many usurpers since ancient times. Which emperor is willing to abdicate?

   "Patriarch, no!"

   "No!" The faces of several elders changed.

  Changing branches, that is the nightmare of any clan leader.

   "I am the patriarch. If you have any opinions on this matter, you can wait until the elders meeting to raise it." Wu Mao turned his head, his eyes were sharp, and he scanned hundreds of members of the Wu clan.

  Everyone quiets down.

   "Wu Yuan, what do you think?" Wu Mao looked at Wu Yuan again, his eyes were gentle again, and he looked like the same person as before.
