Two questions.
The entire ancestral hall of the Chu Family fell into absolute silence.
Everyone took a deep breath. They glanced around and focused on Chu Xingyun.
"Hand over the Clan Leader's Golden Seal?" Chu Xingyun broke the silence. He smiled brightly. Then, he withstood everyone's pressure and walked before Chu Pingtian.
"Ever since my father became the Clan Leader of the Chu Family, he has given his all to the Chu Family. It was under his leadership that the Chu Family was able to develop and become one of the most powerful families in the West Wind City!"
"Although he has been missing for more than ten years, there has not been any news of his death. If one day, he returns safely, only to find that someone has seized the Patriarch's golden seal and occupied the Patriarch's position while he was away, how disappointed would he be?"
"Plus, the Chu Family's rules state that the Clan Leader's Golden Seal should be passed down from generation to generation. Even if my father doesn't have the right to have the Clan Leader's Golden Seal, it should be passed down to me. Great Elder, why do you want me to hand over the Clan Leader's Golden Seal?"
Chu Xingyun's voice was low and deep. Every word was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
Seeing this, Chu Pingtian seemed to have expected this. The sneer on his face became more and more obvious.
He raised his eyebrows and said in disdain, "Chu Xingyun, what you just said is true. Under your father's leadership, the Chu Family became one of the most powerful families in the West Wind City. However, it is also because of your father that the Chu Family has fallen to such a state!"
"After the assassination, your father left for 16 years to find the murderer. In those 16 years, the Chu Family had no leader. We were suppressed by other families. In the end, we had to leave the West Wind City and hide in this small town. Your father is a sinner. As the son of a sinner, what right do you have to inherit the Clan Leader's Golden Seal?"
Chu Xingyun's face became extremely ugly when he heard Chu Pingtian's words. His eyes were extremely sunken.
The word "father" was very important to Chu Xingyun.
Even in his previous life, when he had become the all-powerful Martial Emperor of Batian Empire, Chu Xingyun was still filled with nostalgia and longing for his father.
Right now, Chu Pingtian was trying to force Chu Xingyun to hand over the family leader's golden seal. He had erased everything Chu Xingyun's father had done and pushed all the blame onto Chu Xingyun. He said Chu Xingyun was a sinner who had dragged down the entire Chu Clan.
Such behavior was simply shameless!
Chu Pingtian didn't care about Chu Xingyun's cold stare. He ignored it.
He strode forward and stood in front of the crowd. He opened his arms and a surge of spiritual energy surged out.
The crowd's expression changed abruptly. At the same time, they felt a powerful pressure descend upon them, making it difficult for them to breathe.
Chu Pingtian looked around and said proudly, "The position of the family leader has been empty for sixteen years. If this continues, the Chu Family will be destroyed. Today, I, Chu Pingtian, boldly recommend myself. I hope to become the new family leader of the Chu Family. As long as I am alive, I will do my best to fight for cultivation resources for the Chu Family and get out of this predicament!"
After he said that, many people's expressions changed.
In this family meeting, not only did Chu Pingtian want Chu Xingyun to hand over the golden seal, but he also wanted to become the new family leader of the Chu Family. It turned out that everything was premeditated.
Everyone fell into silence. At this moment, the second elder and the third elder behind Chu Pingtian stood up almost at the same time. They said loudly, "For the development of the Chu Family, I agree that the first elder should become the new family leader of the Chu Family!"
Seeing the second elder and the third elder's attitude, the crowd boiled up.
"That's right. The Chu Family has been in decline for sixteen years. We have no development and no resources. It's time to choose a new family leader."
"The first elder is powerful. Under his leadership, the Chu Family will definitely prosper. We will earn a lot of wealth and end this miserable life."
"I support the first elder. The position of family leader will belong to him!"
Many people shouted. The Chu Family had suffered too much in the past sixteen years. Now that Chu Pingtian stood up, they saw the hope of the Chu Family rising again. They wanted him to lead the Chu Family out of this predicament.
Hearing those voices, Chu Pingtian was very proud. He said to Chu Xingyun, "You heard their voices. It's the best choice for me to become the family leader. Hand over the golden seal."
"Colluding with everyone to take the position of family leader. The first elder is indeed cunning." Chu Xingyun stared at Chu Pingtian. Suddenly, he sneered and said, "Since the first elder wants to become the new family leader, can I ask you two questions?"
"Ha, ha, go ahead," Chu Pingtian said casually. His eyes were full of mockery and disdain.
With everyone's support, he could ignore Chu Xingyun completely.
However, since Chu Xingyun asked, he wouldn't say no. He wanted Chu Xingyun to be convinced. He wanted Chu Xingyun to hand over the golden seal and enjoy the pleasure.
"First question." Chu Xingyun said directly, "The Chu Family is in decline. If the first elder becomes the family leader, will you fight for opportunities for the Chu Family to earn a lot of wealth?"
"Of course. To a family, the most important thing is a huge amount of wealth. Having wealth is equivalent to having cultivation resources and development prospects. If I become the head of the Chu family, even if I die, I will take it as my number one priority!"
Chu Pingtian said firmly. He was full of passion. Many people of the Chu Family were influenced.
Of course, in Chu Pingtian's heart, those were just empty words. He just wanted to win the applause of his people. That was all.
Chu Xingyun smiled and asked, "Second question. If the first elder becomes the family leader, how much wealth can you earn for the Chu Family in one year? Do you have a plan?"
"Not a plan. The Town of Chu is close to the mountains. We have plenty of resources. As long as I become the family leader, I will make good use of the resources. I can earn one hundred thousand taels of silver in one year. It won't be a problem." Chu Pingtian waved his hand, which made the people of the Chu Family cheer even louder.
It should be noted that the Chu Family only earned thirty thousand taels of silver in one year. They were in dire straits.
However, Chu Pingtian said that he could earn one hundred thousand taels of silver in one year after he became the family leader. That was shocking. Choosing Chu Pingtian as the family leader was the right choice.
"One hundred thousand taels of silver in one year!" Chu Xing Yun frowned and whispered, "So that's how it is. Great Elder already has a plan. If that's the case, then I'll …"
Before Chu Xingyun finished, Chu Pingtian's face was filled with wild joy.
He had been coveting the position of the family leader for many years. Today, the day had finally come. Soon, he would get the golden seal and become the new family leader of the Chu Family!
The two elders standing behind Chu Pingtian looked at each other. They were also excited. Their faces were red.
