"Don't slander me. You need evidence, or else it's slander."
Fu Bo's voice was especially loud, and it was obvious that he was using his voice to hide his nervousness. He had originally brought up Duan Fei Liu to change the topic and shift the advantage to them, but he had not expected Fu Qing to turn the tables on him and smash his own foot with a rock.
"Cousin, you look very nervous. Since you spread the news, then can you tell me how you know I entered Broken Feiliu?"
Fu Qing asked aggressively, his eyes even carrying a hint of killing intent. This was a hatred of life and death. The men in black who were chasing him must have something to do with Fu Bo. He had almost lost his life in Broken Feiliu. If he hadn't met Jiang Chen, he would have died for sure.
"I only heard it from someone else."
Fu Bo said. Although he was guilty, he knew that he couldn't admit that Fu Qing entering Broken Feiliu had anything to do with him. Once he admitted it, he would be harming a fellow disciple. At that time, the Elders would have the right to punish him, let alone fight for the position of Patriarch.
Fu Qing didn't have any evidence anyway. So what if he guessed it? He wouldn't admit it no matter what.
"Enough!"
Fu Yuntao shouted, directly interrupting the argument between Fu Qing and Fu Bo.
He knew very well that although his son was talented and his strength was one of the best among the younger generation in Yan City, he was not a scheming person. He was a boorish fellow. If he continued to argue with Fu Qing, he was afraid that he would betray himself.
Fu Yuntao directly walked in front of the elders and said, "Elders, I, Fu Yuntao, cannot come here for nothing. We are all members of the Fu Clan and naturally have the right and qualifications to return to the Fu Clan. Since we are here, we cannot return empty-handed. That year, my father passed the position of Patriarch to Yunzhong because he was biased. Our Fu Clan's Patriarch should belong to someone capable. Therefore, I request for a fair competition."
"How do you want to compete? I'll fight with you anytime."
Before the Elders could say anything, Fu Yunzhong was the first to stand up. All these years, there were indeed other voices in the Fu Clan. No matter what, Fu Yuntao had left the Fu Clan because of the Patriarch issue and claimed to be from the same bloodline.
In the Fu Clan, there were many people who thought that Fu Yuntao was more capable than them. Even the Elders were not few.
Furthermore, Fu Yuntao was the eldest son, so the position of Patriarch was rightfully his.
Furthermore, Fu Yuntao leaving the Fu Family was a loss to the Fu Family. It could be said that the Fu Family's strength had been greatly weakened. It must be known that Fu Yuntao had many supporters in the past, and many of them had been taken away by him.
This had always been a sore point for Fu Yunzhong. Today, since Fu Yuntao wanted to compete fairly, Fu Yunzhong would not be a coward. He could use this opportunity to prove himself.
More importantly, Fu Yuntao's family had used despicable means to secretly deal with his son, almost causing him to die before his son. This debt had to be settled.
Since that was the case, he would settle old and new grudges together.
"Yun Zhong, you have to think this through. You don't have to compete with Yun Tao, because the position of the Clan Leader has always been yours. The Elder Council has no reason to remove you."
The Supreme Elder said, obviously speaking up for Fu Yunzhong.
The more the grand elder sided with Fu Yunzhong, the greater the resentment and dissatisfaction in Fu Yuntao's heart.
"I'm willing to compete fairly."
Fu Yunzhong said resolutely.
"Fine. Since you have made your decision, then I will not force you. Yuntao, do you know how you want to compete fairly?"
The Supreme Elder nodded and looked at Fu Yuntao.
Obviously, Fu Yunzhong had the guts to compete fairly, and the Supreme Elder admired him.
This was a kind of courage, and there were not many people who had this kind of courage.
Fu Yunzhong was in the position of the Clan Leader, and he did not take out his own things to compete with others. To outsiders, this was stupid. But to Fu Yunzhong, he was just fighting for his own pride.
If he did not agree to compete fairly, it would be equivalent to admitting that he was inferior to Fu Yuntao. In the future, his prestige as the Clan Leader would be halved.
"Fu Yunzhong and I are about the same strength, and there is no point in competing. Our Fu Family is very particular about having a successor. Since we are fighting for the Clan Leader's position, we must see if the next generation is capable enough. The position of the Young Master is very important. In my opinion, let the younger generation look down on us. As long as Fu Qing can defeat Fu Bo, I, Fu Yuntao, will willingly withdraw from the Fu Family."
Fu Yuntao said.
As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately caused an uproar.
"What the hell? You call this a fair competition? Fu Tao has already reached the peak of the Eighth Heavenly Layer, only a step away from the Ninth Heavenly Layer. Meanwhile, Fu Qing is only at the Seventh Heavenly Layer. Although he is also at his peak, about to reach the Eighth Heavenly Layer, there's still an entire level of difference between him and Fu Bo. How can he be Fu Bo's opponent? "
"That's right. This kind of competition is just too shameless. How does he have the cheek to say it?"
"It's a little shameless, but it's reasonable. There's no way to refute it. The position of Young Master is the same as the Clan Leader. It belongs to those who are capable. Fu Qing only has himself to blame for his lack of strength. I just wonder if Fu Qing dares to accept this challenge."
… …
There was a lot of discussion. Fu Yuntao's suggestion had basically cut off Fu Yunzhong and his son's path of retreat.
"No, that's not fair!"
Fu Yunzhong objected loudly.
"How is that not fair? If Fu Qing is incapable, he will naturally give up the position of Young Master. "
Fu Yuntao sneered.
Fu Qing's face darkened. He seemed rather awkward. If he did not accept the challenge, the father and son would definitely be embarrassed. If he accepted the challenge, he would basically lose for sure. Fu Qing knew his own strength very well. He had no chance of winning against Fu Bo, who was a level higher than him.
"Accept his challenge."
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out in Fu Qing's head.
Fu Qing's body trembled. He looked in the direction of Jiang Chen, and his presence immediately changed. Great confidence appeared on his face.
"Alright, I accept your challenge."
Fu Qing agreed on the spot. Since Jiang Chen wanted him to accept the challenge, there was nothing for him to be afraid of. He knew just how powerful Jiang Chen was. Let alone everything else, just finding the Stairway to Heaven was something that no one in the entire Crimson East region could do.
"Qing 'er."
Fu Yunzhong pulled Fu Qing back, indicating that he could not act on impulse.
"Just delay it for three days."
Jiang Chen's voice rang out in Fu Qing's head again, which made Fu Qing's confidence grow even stronger.
"Dad, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
Fu Qing patted Fu Yunzhong's arm and looked at Fu Bo, "Fu Bo, I'll fight you. However, I've just come out of the Broken Flight Stream, so I'm exhausted. I'll need to rest for three days. Three days later, we'll have a showdown at the Fu Clan's martial arts field."
