Yu Clan, Conference Hall!
"Yu Haoran, don't play any tricks from now on. Obediently accept the interrogation!" First Elder reminded as he glanced coldly at Yu Haoran.
In response, Yu Haoran only shrugged and chuckled. He didn't take First Elder's reminder to heart at all.
Afterwards, he respectfully asked Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, Eighth Elder, and Ninth Elder, "Four Elders, when I was expelled from the clan a year ago and demoted to a servant, did I get the approval of the six inner clan elders?"
The Fourth Elder, the Fifth Elder, the Eighth Elder, and the Ninth Elder looked at each other. Finally, the Ninth Elder replied, "No!"
"Then, four Elders, when my sister Yu Siqi's cultivation was crippled and she was expelled from the clan, did she also get the approval of the six inner clan elders?"
Ninth Elder still represented the other three elders and replied, "No!"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Yu Haoran shrugged and turned to look at First Elder. He said, "First Elder, I don't know why you called Haoran here this time?"
Yu Haoran had just interrogated Ninth Elder and the others, letting First Elder know of their plans. He also knew that it was impossible for him to make Yu Haoran accept the cruelest punishment of the clan through Wang Ru's death and He Zhiqiang's injury.
However, he was somewhat unwilling to give up and still wanted to give it a try.
Therefore, he directly threw the question to Ninth Elder.
"Ninth Elder, your Disciplinary Hall is responsible for the clan's laws. What do you think of the matter of Yu Haoran privately killing Wang Ru and seriously injuring Vice General Manager He?"
"Contradicting his superiors, privately injuring and killing people. According to the clan's laws, his cultivation will be crippled and he will be imprisoned!" The impartial Ninth Elder said impartially.
Yu Haoran's face, which was originally full of smiles, suddenly became sad after hearing the Ninth Elder point out the clan rules. His tone was even more severe as he said, "Ninth Elder, Haoran has a great grievance to report!"
The Ninth Elder looked at Yu Haoran meaningfully and said in a dignified manner, "If you have any grievances, feel free to tell me. I will definitely seek justice for you!"
"Ninth Elder, Elders, although my sister and I live in the service area and do the work of servants, but no matter what, my sister and I are still the direct descendants of the Yu Clan. The blood of the Patriarch flows in our veins. “
"But Wang Ru, the Deacon of the Chores Area, disregarded the nobility and set up private punishments. She went against her superiors and whipped my sister Yu Siqi without permission."
"As the younger brother of the same mother and the successor of the Yu Clan, how could I sit idly by and do nothing? But considering that Wang Ru is still a talent that my Yu Clan has painstakingly nurtured, I earnestly tried to reason with her."
"But I didn't expect that the deranged Wang Ru would actually take the initiative to attack me and try to kill me. I had no choice but to counterattack and accidentally kill her."
"Although the mistake of accidentally killing Wang Ru wasn't my fault, I still blame myself."
"But what I didn't expect was that the Deputy General Manager of the Chores Area, He Zhiqiang, actually came to seek revenge for Wang Ru. I also had no choice but to counterattack and in the end, I accidentally injured him."
"Yu Haoran, don't make irresponsible remarks!" As soon as Yu Haoran finished speaking, the hot-tempered Third Elder stood up for the third time and took a step forward to threaten him.
This time, the First Elder didn't stop him.
Because through Yu Haoran's act of twisting right and wrong just now, he guessed that Yu Haoran's next step was to directly force He Zhiqiang to death, so he couldn't tolerate Yu Haoran continuing to be arrogant.
"Third Elder, what are you trying to do?" Seeing the Third Elder gradually emitting the aura of a Martial Master, the silent Fourth Elder suddenly stood up and directly stood in front of Yu Haoran, taking the initiative to block the Third Elder's threat.
"Fourth Elder, today's matter has nothing to do with you. Get out of my way!" The Third Elder bluntly reprimanded.
In the Yu Clan, the Third Elder only listened to one person's orders, and that was the First Elder. Even before Yu Hongzhi's death, he was still the same.
"Third Elder, regardless of whether Yu Haoran's words were true or false, his mistakes and grievances can only be judged by the Ninth Elder. For the time being, it's not your place to interfere."
As an inner clan elder, his strength and status weren't inferior to the Third Elder's. Therefore, when faced with the Third Elder's disregard, the Fourth Elder's heart was filled with anger. He also bluntly retorted.
"Fourth Elder, could it be that you want to test your Third Elder's methods?" The Third Elder coldly looked at the Fourth Elder and threatened.
"Haha!" Faced with the Third Elder's threat, the Fourth Elder chuckled and similarly retorted, not to be outdone.
"No problem. I just happen to want to test the might of Third Elder's Raging Flame Palm. I wonder if it can break through my Sandstorm Falling Leaves Palm."
"Enough! All of you, back down! " Just as the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder were about to make a move, the Ninth Elder fiercely slapped the armrest of his chair and sternly reprimanded them.
Although the Ninth Elder's ranking among the inner clan elders wasn't high, when faced with his stern reprimand, whether it was the Fourth Elder who was on his side or the Third Elder who only obeyed the First Elder, they all obediently returned to their seats.
At the end of the day, the Ninth Elder's cultivation and strength far exceeded theirs.
"Yu Haoran, whether or not your words are true, I will send someone to investigate. For now, you can leave first!" After the Third Elder and the Fourth Elder returned to their seats, the Ninth Elder ordered.
"Wait!"
"No!"
Seeing that the Ninth Elder wanted to settle the matter peacefully, the First Elder and Yu Haoran simultaneously objected.
For the First Elder, if he allowed Yu Haoran to return unscathed today, it would be a fatal blow to his prestige in the clan.
This was because Yu Haoran wasn't an ordinary person. He was the heir of the Yu Clan in name. There were still many people in the Yu Clan who missed Yu Haoran's glory and hoped that Yu Haoran would grow into a powerhouse like Yu Hongzhi.
Therefore, no matter what, he couldn't allow Yu Haoran to return so easily. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to push his son, Yu Hongyang, to the position of Patriarch in the future.
And for Yu Haoran, before he completely intimidated the First Elder, he couldn't return with a seemingly victorious appearance and even greater hidden dangers.
After coldly glancing at Yu Haoran, the Ninth Elder finally questioned the First Elder, "First Elder, what is the meaning of this?"
"First, Wang Ru and He Zhiqiang are the elites that the Yu Clan has nurtured for many years. We can't let them die with everlasting regret."
"Second, Yu Haoran has no respect for his superiors. He contradicted the Third Elder and insulted Elder Wu. He must be punished."
"Third, the position of Patriarch has been vacant for too long. It has seriously affected the normal operations of the clan. Therefore, I hope that a new Patriarch can be elected this time."
As the saying goes, the older the ginger, the spicier it is. The older a person is, the more cunning his mind is!
Through Yu Haoran's counterattack that inverted right and wrong, the First Elder not only quickly thought of a solution, but also fought for the greatest benefits for his faction.
And that was the position of Patriarch!
If Yu Hongyang could sit on the position of Patriarch, not only would he be able to completely control the clan, but he would also be able to make the neutral Sixth Elder completely side with them.
