In the center of the Nangong family, on the top of the beautiful mountain, there was a magnificent building. This building was where the Elders' Compound was located.
In the magnificent and magnificent hall of the Elders' Compound, all 36 members of the Elders' Compound had arrived.
Thirty-six elders sat around the hall, and Nangong Huayan stood on the round stone platform in the middle of the hall with a reserved look.
Nangong Huayan only felt uncomfortable in the face of seventy-two gazes from all directions. Her heart was so weak that she wanted to die.
Every Elder present could be said to be a classic example of old wisdom. Any one of them had lived for at least 3,000 years.
Hua Yan knew that with the experience of these old foxes, as long as there was a trace of a lie or a trace of abnormality in her expression, she would not be able to escape their eyes. It was simply a daydream to make them believe her lies!
After all, Nangong Huayan had never been a girl who liked to lie.
Although Nangong Huayan would also tell some white lies, it was rare for her to deliberately lie to deceive people. It could be said that she had no experience at all.
An 18-year-old girl who did not like to lie was facing a group of old foxes who had lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. How could she deceive them? She really did not know what Bai Bing and Brother Chu were thinking.
In the silence, the Chief Elder said in a deep voice, "Nangong Huayan, regarding your application to take over the family power, I think … I don't need to say more. No matter from which perspective, you can't meet the conditions."
After a pause, the Chief Elder continued, "Therefore … after the joint decision of all the members of the Elders' Compound, your application is rejected. You … if you have anything to say, you can say it now."
Taking a deep breath, Nangong Huayan wanted to refute, but the rules were there. How could she refute?
Moreover, even if she were to judge by herself, she did not think that she could be the patriarch of the Nangong family now.
The Nangong family was filled with talents. It wasn't as if they didn't have people. How could an 18-year-old girl like her be in charge of the family? This was too laughable. She couldn't even find a reason to do so.
Seeing that Nangong Huayan did not speak, the Chief Elder frowned and said, "Since you are silent, we will take it that you agree with our judgment."
Nodding helplessly, Nangong Huayan said shyly, "Yes, I am indeed not qualified to be the patriarch of the Nangong family."
Nodding, the Chief Elder continued, "Very well, then this matter is over!"
With a sigh, Nangong Huayan saluted respectfully. When she was about to turn around and leave, a cold voice rang out, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. You've finished your business, but we haven't finished our business yet!"
Hearing this voice, Nangong Huayan's body could not help but shrink, and her face instantly turned pale.
Nangong Huayan looked at Nangong Huayan, Nangong Huayan, and Nangong Huayan, Huayan, Huayan, Nangong Huayan, and Huayan, Huayan.
Huayan, Huayan, Huayan, Huayan, of, Huayan, Huayan, and Huayan, Huayan.
Huayan, Huayan, Huayan, Huayan, and Huayan, huayan, Huayan, Huayan..........
Yes, yes, yes …
Hearing the Sixth Elder's words, the 36 Elders nodded. Indeed … at this moment, Nangong Huayan did look guilty, which could not fool anyone.
Huayan sneered and said, "Don't say that we have wronged you. If you swear a Heart Demon Oath on the spot that you have nothing to do with Nangong Junjie's death, I am willing to kowtow to you and admit my mistake. I will even let you punish me!"
Nangong Huayan smiled bitterly and shook her head in despair. Obviously, she was still too inexperienced. Huayan, Huayan, was not good at hiding or acting, since Huayan dared to say such words.
Her thoughts were all written on her face. Not to mention these old foxes, even ordinary people would be able to tell that she was lying.
However, knowing that she was so clumsy, why did Bai Bing and Chu Xingyun insist that she come?
Wait …
Nangong Huayan suddenly thought of a possibility, and her eyes widened.
Could it be that Bai Bing and Chu Xingyun intended to push her out as a scapegoat to end this matter once and for all? God … She liked them so much, but they actually …
No, no, no …
Shaking her head violently, Nangong Huayan quickly denied her own thoughts. It was impossible. Even if she did not believe Bai Bing, she could not not believe Chu Xingyun.
With Chu Xingyun's character, how could he be so despicable, shameless, and obscene …
If she did not believe Chu Xingyun, then who else in this world was worthy of her trust?
If Chu Xingyun really lied to her, then even if she died, what was there to be afraid of? Anyway, there was no point in continuing to live, right?
While Nangong Huayan was thinking, the Elders around her began to discuss. Soon, the Chief Elder spoke again, "Since you have nothing to say, I will officially pronounce the sentence on behalf of the Elders!"
After a heavy pause, the Chief Elder suddenly raised his voice and said loudly, "Nangong Huayan, you have violated the ancestral teachings and harmed your own flesh and blood. Therefore … on behalf of the family, I sentence you to death!"
Hearing the Chief Elder's sentence, Nangong Huayan only felt that her vision turned black, and her body was on the verge of collapsing.
Now, no one could save her, no one. Even if the four Emperor came together, they could not change the decision of the Elders.
Looking at the ashen-faced Nangong Huayan, the Chief Elder said sternly, "Come, drag Nangong Huayan out — disembowel, dig out her heart, and behead her in public!"
Looking at the four guards walking over with an imposing manner in despair, Nangong Huayan murmured, "Brother Chu! Where are you … Why do you have to bring me here? "
Hahaha …
Seeing that Nangong Huayan was about to be dragged out, disemboweled, and beheaded in public, a low laughter echoed in the hall of the Elders' Compound.
Swish …
In the whistling sound, a Dimensional Door appeared in the middle of the hall. In front of Nangong Huayan, a black figure stepped out from the Dimensional Door.
Seeing that Chu Xingyun's figure finally appeared, Nangong Huayan rushed over and hugged Chu Xingyun tightly with both hands. Her charming face was buried in Chu Xingyun's chest, and her whole body was trembling.
Scared, Nangong Huayan was too scared. She was only 18 years old, and she did not want to die at all.
Thinking that she was about to be dragged out, disemboweled, her heart dug out, her head chopped off and hung on a tree branch for people to see, Nangong Huayan was almost scared to death.
If Chu Xingyun did not appear, even if Nangong Huayan was not killed, she would be scared to death.
