There were too many people in the family … and if he called the wrong name, he would be beaten. Little Fatty had grown up under constant beatings and scoldings. Now, he could confirm that he wouldn't call the wrong person, but it was still difficult for him to deal with this.
"You're back? Tell me, what's the matter? "
"It's like this. Zuo provided the details of five people, the names and identities of the five people the Wang Family sent to Phoenix City …"
Xiao Xia said excitedly, "Our family might be able to catch a big fish this time and finish this job …"
"Hmm? The names and identities of the five people? Is it accurate? "
"Accurate!"
"Which five people?"
"They are …"
"Send me the information, I'll send people to do it immediately!"
"Cough, Zuo said that the situation might not be as simple as we thought. There might be other changes because he found out that the Stargate of the Umno Alliance is behind the Wang Family. Moreover, the Big Dipper and the Southern Dipper are all involved … If this force is really behind the ambush, the situation will be very bad. If we act rashly, not only will it be difficult to achieve anything, it's possible that we will lose soldiers and generals, and it might even alert the enemy. The gains don't make up for the losses …"
"Understood. Zuo Xiaoduo is indeed very resourceful. He even dug out the Umno Alliance's Stargate. He's right, and his considerations are also very thorough. In this battle, our You Family really can't let down our guard. We must make thorough arrangements to finish this battle in one fell swoop."
"If we catch these people this time, I'm afraid the Wang Family will really be finished. Once the Wang Family falls, the forces in Shang Jing will inevitably be reshuffled. And this big empty cake left by the Wang Family … "
Everyone was deep in thought.
Old Ancestor Bai Mei Xuan moved and said softly, "To the east and to the west. This time, the few of you will go. The seven of you will bring your own guards and the Heaven One Unit. In addition, bring some of the juniors and go out together to gain experience."
"This time … let's move out three hundred people."
"Yes."
The You Xiangdong and You Xiangxi brothers stood up, saluted, and walked out.
All of them were of the same generation as Wandering Hero's great-grandfathers, and all of them were top-notch high-level cultivators.
They swam to the east, swam to the west, swam to the south, swam to the north, and swam to the middle. Originally, they had decided that the five names of the East, West, North, South, and Middle were just right. But in the end, they gave birth to too many people, one by one, they swam to the mountains, swam to the water, swam to the clouds, and so on … more than ten people.
Now, after so many years, of the twenty or so brothers of their generation, there were still eleven who were still alive. This time, they were all sent out.
With their own strength, their personal guards, and their clan's Heaven's No.1 Squadron, their combined strength had already reached a considerable level. Not to mention facing five Sky Soar Realm cultivators, even if five or ten more came, it would not be a problem!
The Ranger's face lit up with joy.
From his point of view, the You Clan would be reduced to a huge joke if they were unable to capture those five Wang Clan Ascendants after dispatching so many of their forces. The You Clan would be reduced to a huge joke if they were unable to capture those five Wang Clan Ascendants.
The reason why three hundred people were sent out this time was because the Old Ancestor's intention was very clear. It was to train the younger generation of the clan.
Eleven people, along with ten or so juniors, walked out of the hall, and the hall suddenly became much more spacious.
The Ranger also let out a sigh of relief.
Looks like they won't criticize me today …
"If there's nothing else, I still have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now …" The Ranger wanted to slip away.
Although the Ranger had the identity of the future Clan Head, and his status was naturally respected, this was undeniable. But at the same time, it was also undeniable that he was not the Clan Head yet. He had another identity that was closer to reality — a junior of the You Clan. And in this hall, everyone had the right to press him to the ground and spank him without being able to fight back.
En, he might even have to take the initiative to get into position and cheer after being spanked.
"Wait."
An old man rolled his eyes, "We have so many people, and we have been waiting for you with such great fanfare for so long. Naturally, we have important matters to attend to. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?!"
"Please speak, Great Grandfather."
"You are the future Clan Head that the Old Ancestor has personally appointed. Now that you're not young, you need to settle the important matter of marriage as soon as possible. This is the most important thing right now, and you can't neglect it."
The Old Ancestor said slowly, "We've carefully screened and selected the girls of the right age from each family. There are only a few who are qualified. Take a look and see if there's anyone who catches your eye. Then have your father find someone to arrange for you to meet and see if you can get along. "
"A … a blind date?" The Ranger's eyes widened.
What era was this, and there were still blind dates?
I, the Ranger … I, the handsome Ranger, the embodiment of justice, actually need to go on blind dates. Who are you looking down on …
"I don't want to." The Ranger muttered.
"You dare!" The Ranger's father suddenly stood up and pulled out his belt with a swish.
"You, you … in front of the Old Ancestor … using force! … "
The Ranger's face was pale, and his chubby cheeks began to tremble, "You, you … what a scandal …"
"I'll show you what a scandal is!"
The Old Ancestor flicked the belt in the air, and with both hands, it made a deafening sound. "Little brat, come here and receive your punishment!"
The Ranger almost wet himself on the spot, "Old Ancestor, save me …"
Whoosh.
The belt disappeared from the Ranger's father's hands.
The Old Ancestor rolled up the leather belt and held it in his hand. "If you're being reasonable, then let's talk reason. Our You Clan treats our children with reason at all times. Little Hero is still your son, but he's still the future head of our You Clan!"
The Ranger nodded repeatedly, his face filled with gratitude and excitement.
The Old Ancestor paused, then said, "It's not too late to beat him up when you really can't reason with him. So what if he's the future Clan Head? The future Clan Head is still your son. As his father, it's only right that you teach your son a lesson."
"…"
The Ranger's jaw almost dropped.
Old Ancestor, did the Heavenly King know that you're so arrogant?
"We have no intention of interfering with your marriage, but you're no longer an ordinary son of the You Clan, but the future Clan Head. The Clan values you greatly, and you have to bear this responsibility. You can't just do whatever you want, especially when it comes to your marriage …"
"For a clan like ours, the Clan Head's marriage has always followed a principle, and that is: Marriage alliance! The Clan wants to use marriage alliance, and the strong join forces to push the Clan's power forward a little. Even if we can't reach the goal of going further, we can't take half a step back. "
"This is the responsibility of the Clan Head, and it's also helpless. Since you're respected by the Clan, you have to pay for it!"
"Your marriage is no longer just your own business, and it's no longer even our Clan's business. Your marriage has been targeted by many Clans since the day you became the future Clan Head, such as the Nian Clan, such as the Liu Clan, such as the Dongfang Clan, such as the Dongfang Clan …"
"These Clans all have daughters of the right age, and they want to marry our Clan. Every one of them is the Clan Head's legitimate daughter."
"Among the many Clans mentioned above, no matter which one you choose, the other Clans won't say anything. Because, in the case of a perfect match, it's the same no matter who you choose. It can only be said that they have similar temperaments and are compatible with each other."
"But if you don't choose any of the Clans, and choose a commoner's daughter with no background …"
"Then you'll be looking down on the Clans!"
"After all, this isn't your personal love, and you can choose whoever you want, but … after you make such a choice, you'll be slapping the Clans and everyone's faces. Think about it, and you'll understand. Our Clan's noble daughter is waiting to marry you, but in the eyes of the You Clan, our Clans are not even as good as commoners … How humiliating is that!"
"There are all kinds of choices, all kinds of human relations, and all kinds of things. If you can't take care of any of them, it'll be troublesome."
"Also, there are so many people in the You Clan, but only you were chosen to be the Young Clan Head. If you're not even willing to make such a small sacrifice, unwilling to contribute to the Clan, and only care about what you want to do, then what right do you have to enjoy the honor of being the future Clan Head? How will your peers in the You Clan view this matter?"
"There are plenty of them who are willing to sacrifice for the Clan. Many people, as long as they can be the Clan Head, even if you want them to marry a sow, they'll gladly endure it. Why do we have to follow your personal wishes when it comes to you? "
"You, who haven't made any contributions to the Clan, what right do you have?"
"In other words, no matter which Clan's girl you marry, our You Clan won't have any trouble. Only if you marry that Umno Alliance's disciple, we'll become the target of public criticism. "
"Once you insist on doing so, the situation will evolve. Not only will the Clan not be able to advance further, but because of your selfishness, the You Clan's overall strength will decline instead of advancing!"
"Is this what you should do as the Clan Head?"
"These reasons are all in front of you. I hope you can think about it carefully."
"We're not stubborn old fogeys. After you marry a wife, you can still take a concubine. It's normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines. Even if you hide her in a golden house and arrange for her to be an outside mistress, we won't care about how intimate you two are in private."
"But if you want to take her as your wife, that's impossible!"
The old masters tried their best to persuade him.
Speaking to this point, the You Family elders had already taken a big step back. Their words were sincere, and indeed, every word was from the bottom of their hearts. They spoke with certainty, and every word was sonorous.
You Xiao Xia sighed and said miserably, "When all the problems are summed up, isn't it because of my identity as the future Clan Head? I've said it before, I don't want to be the Clan Head, okay? "
The little fatty cried out in grief and indignation, "I don't want to be the future Clan Head. You can choose someone else. In the future, I'll build a small courtyard and raise flowers, dogs, and vegetables with Xuan Yi … That should be fine, right?"
