C639 Propose
The Third Elder also nodded and said, "Yes, we were very much in agreement with this matter at that time. Loong Aotian was the only one who disagreed. It wasn't a good idea for the Loong family to hold him like this. They might as well contact Ninth Duke as soon as possible. Let's settle this matter, or else... After a long time, our Loong family might not have the ability to negotiate with Ninth Duke anymore."1
Loong Xue frowned when she heard the words of the three elders. She knew that these three elders had thrown caution to the wind. They wanted to use their happiness to exchange for the peace of the Loong family. However, her father would rather offend Ninth Duke than let her be unhappy for the sake of his happiness.
At this moment, Loong Xue could not help but tear up. She was very grateful for her father's love. At the same time, she understood that her father had suffered all kinds of accusations and grievances in order to protect her.
Zhang Fann shook his head and said to the three of them, "You all have a good idea. You only need to use this method to make Loong family live. At the same time, you can also defend against the invasion of these foreign families and sects. But have you all thought about it? If Loong Xue really married Ninth Duke, Ninth Duke would turn hostile. Then wouldn't the Loong family suffer a double loss?"
The Great Elder stood up from his chair and said to Zhang Fann, "This is the only way for us to keep the Loong family alive. Moreover, if we don't agree to this marriage, our Loong family will certainly offend Ninth Duke and the Imperial Family. We will have another threat that will lead to the death of the dragon."
The Third Elder, Loong Ao, also said, "That's right. This is the best way for us. I think this is worth a try."
Zhang Fann couldn't help but laugh after hearing their conversation. He said to them, "For the future of the Loong family, we have to sacrifice a young lady of the Loong family. Aren't we afraid that someone will make fun of the Loong family? If that's the case, the Loong family will fall too low. How can we continue to live in the Pugilistic World in the future?"
As soon as these words were spoken, As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the meeting hall fell silent. What Zhang Fann said was indeed a problem. If he really did that, everything in the Loong family would return to normal, and it would certainly arouse the dissatisfaction of everyone.
First of all, some outsiders would take the initiative to marry the imperial Ninth Duke in order to survive. In the end, they would let the young miss of the Loong family become Ninth Duke's concubine in exchange for the future of the Loong family. This matter could even make the Loong family look dishonorable for the rest of their lives.
Secondly, even if the Loong family really won, it would still be temporary. In the future, if it was like what Zhang Fann said, Ninth Duke would turn hostile and even criticize the Loong family. In the future, the Loong family's life would be even worse.
Also, the people in the Loong family would feel ashamed of this matter, which would lead to the disunity of the Loong family. Although this was only a decision made by the higher ups, they might be disappointed by how the others viewed the higher ups of the Loong family, which would lead to them leaving the Loong family in the end.
"Young man, what do you think the Loong family should do now?" At this moment, the Fourth Elder of Loong family, Long Ping, who had been silent the whole time, put down the teacup in his hand and asked Zhang Fann.
This was also the question of the other three. They all looked at Zhang Fann, wanting to hear Zhang Fann's answer.
Loong Xue was also very curious. She looked at Zhang Fann with anticipation. In her opinion, Zhang Fann would definitely have a way to help the Loong family get rid of the crisis. After all, they had encountered so many troubles in Desert Pass. Zhang Fann was able to think of a way at the crucial moment. This time would not be an exception.
Zhang Fann thought for a while and said to the four of them, "It's actually very simple. What we need to do now is to make a name for ourselves in this battle. As long as we defeat one of the stronger opponents in this battle, it will be much easier to deal with the other powers."
Pausing, Zhang Fann continued," Moreover, with such a result, even if the other powers wanted to do something to the Loong family, they wouldn't be able to do anything about it. 'Then they should think, too, whether they have the strength to do so.'
Hearing Zhang Fann's words, the four elders fell into deep thought. However, the contents of their thoughts were different from the four elders present.
The Great Elder frowned. He was constantly thinking about Zhang Fann's suggestion. He was also pondering about it in his heart. He felt that this method was feasible. The Loong family needed a tough battle. Otherwise, they would never be able to rise again. But, where should he start now?
Also, in the eyes of the Great Elder, Zhang Fann was indeed not simple. He was powerful and had some means to deal with matters. Long Kun thought to himself. This Zhang Fann was a threat to him now. What should he do in the future?
At that time, when Patriarch Loong was lying in bed, Great Elder Long Kun had already started to operate in private. He used the Spirit Stone and treasures in his hands to bribe many large families. He hoped that after Loong Aotian abdicated one day, he would be able to use this method to draw votes. In this way, Long Kun would be able to secure the position of the family head.
But now, it seemed like Zhang Fann had appeared out of nowhere. Long Kun was thinking about how he could let Zhang Fann manage the Loong family well and steal the fruits of his labor. In this way, the position of the family head of the Loong family would still belong to him.
Second Elder Long Ping had been thinking about all the matters of the Loong family in his heart. Long Ping had always been serious when handling matters. He pondered Zhang Fan's words and his current strength. He felt that there was still a chance of winning this battle.
Third Elder still wanted to kill Zhang Fann. Ever since Zhang Fann came here, he had always held a grudge against Zhang Fann. When he found out that it was Zhang Fann who injured Loong Hao, the Third Elder became even angrier.
After thinking about what Zhang Fan said, the Third Elder, Loong Ao, thought that if Zhang Fann really wanted to go out, it would be better for him to challenge the most powerful Black River Hall. There were many experts in the Black River Hall. If Zhang Fann really went, it would be a narrow escape.
Moreover, in this way, in Third Elder Loong Ao's opinion, the Great Elder's eyes were full of worry. All of this had happened from the moment just now. Third Elder Loong Ao thought for a moment and suddenly understood that there was a reason why a mountain could not accommodate two tigers.
What he meant was that after Zhang Fann arrived here, especially after the confrontation just now, the Great Elder seemed to have understood the strength of the other party. He must have sensed the threat brought to him by Zhang Fann, especially the position of the Great Elder in Loong family.
