C2001 The Elders of the Battle of Tongues
Along the way, they would occasionally meet disciples of the Beigong family who wore armor and bowed respectfully to Beigong Yi and Beigong Yanchao. After that, all of their eyes were curiously fixed on Lu Shaoyou and the Elysium Three Ghosts. It was rare for an outsider to come to the Beigong family with a Snow Lion.
When Lu Shaoyou arrived at the top of the mountain, he looked around. There was a strong smell of mountains, but the ground below was filled with faint clouds and mist. It was as if the mountain had appeared in the sky. Its Qi was majestic. The sea of clouds in the surroundings was extremely far away, and the scenery was rare.
On top of the mountain, there was a huge plaza on the ancient bluestone floor. There were mottled marks left behind by the passage of time, and in the distance of the square... A huge palace building was built against the mountain. The hall was completely green in color. It gave off an ancient aura, as if it had been standing there for tens of thousands of years.
"Sect Leader Lu, this is the hall. The patriarch and the elders are waiting for you. Please." Beigong Yi said softly, "Sect Leader Lu, please go to the main hall alone."
Lu Shaoyou nodded. His eyes narrowed slightly, signaling the Elysium Three Ghosts and the Snow Lion to wait for him in the square.
The Elysium Three Ghosts and the Snow Lion retreated a little when they heard him.
"Greetings, City Lord and Great Guardian." Lu Shaoyou followed Beigong Yi and Beigong Yanchao to the outside of the main hall. A dozen or so disciples of the Beigong family, who were wearing armor, greeted Beigong Yi and Beigong Yanchao.
"They are all at the level of commander." Lu Shaoyou was startled. There were more than a dozen disciples of the Beigong family. All of them were at the level of commander, but they were all used to guard the main door. The Beigong family was worthy of being one of the six great imperial families. The experts in the family were as numerous as the clouds.
After that, Beigong Yanchao and Beigong Yi followed them into the palace. The interior of the palace was simple and unadorned. However, it made people feel solemn for no reason. At this moment, Lu Shaoyou's heart was somewhat perturbed. This was the first time he had seen Wushuang's father, and he felt a little nervous.
After a moment, he finally arrived in the hall while Lu Shaoyou was feeling nervous. A very spacious hall appeared in Lu Shaoyou's eyes. There were many figures seated within the large hall at a glance.
"Swoosh swoosh!"
As Lu Shaoyou appeared outside the large hall, Lu Shaoyou immediately felt numerous pairs of eyes landing on his body. Waves of powerful Qi swept over. All of them were Martial Sovereign Expert.
On the contrary, Lu Shaoyou wasn't nervous anymore when he arrived in the hall. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and gazed into the main hall. At this moment, a magnificent figure was sitting at the head of the main hall. This person was around fifty years old at most. He looked extremely young and tall. Both of his eyes were emitting a dignified aura, revealing the aura of an emperor under Batian's command.
"This man is Wushuang's father, the patriarch of the Beigong family." Lu Shaoyou's heart trembled. Judging from his appearance, this man looked somewhat similar to Wushuang. The aura that came from Batian was not something that an ordinary person could possess.
"Greetings, patriarch, elders. Lu Shaoyou has brought him here." Beigong Yi didn't stay for long. He went forward and bowed to the people in the hall.
"Great Guardian, please take a seat." Beigong Qingcang said softly. His eyes swept across Lu Shaoyou and then fell on Beigong Yanchao. He said, "Brother Yanchao, please take a seat as well."
"Greetings, City Lord." Beigong Yanchao stepped into the main hall. Everyone had to stand up and greet him. Although Wood Emperor was only the City Lord who was in charge of the branch families of Beigong family, he was still the same as the patriarch in name.
All the elders bowed. Their eyes had long been filled with doubt and curiosity as they looked at Beigong Yanchao. Looking at Beigong Yanchao's pale face, they guessed that it was the battle between Beigong Yanchao and Lu Shaoyou not long ago. These elders had already known about it.
"Elders, do not stand on ceremony." Beigong Yanchao waved his hand and spoke softly. He strode forward and sat down on the empty seat beside Beigong Qingcang.
Lu Shaoyou's eyes swept across the crowd in the large hall at this moment. There were over forty figures in total. All of them were Sovereign Level Expert. Lu Shaoyou knew quite a number of them. He had seen a few of them when he went to the Dugu family. However, there were a few that did not seem to be any more.
"Beigong Chi." There was no change in his gaze. Lu Shaoyou's eyes were fixed on the elders of Beigong family. At the top of the leader's seat was an old man wearing a light green plain robe. His hair was white, and wrinkles were crawling all over his face. His eyes were extremely clear. He was the Grand Elder and Beigong Chi of the Beigong family whom he had met in the Dugu family.
Lu Shaoyou's eyes swept around without leaving a trace. Only then did he take a few steps forward. He knelt down on one knee and greeted the magnificent figure in front of him. He said, "My son-in-law greets father-in-law!"
Lu Shaoyou's voice was not loud, but it was also not small. This address of father-in-law immediately caused everyone in the hall to be stunned. Numerous gazes immediately paused on Lu Shaoyou and Beigong Qingcang.
Beigong Qingcang was also stunned. He looked at Lu Shaoyou and said softly, "Lu Shaoyou, should I agree or not to call you father-in-law?"
Lu Shaoyou raised his head and looked straight at Beigong Qingcang. His attitude was neither servile nor overbearing. He said, "But if father-in-law agrees or not, I still have to call him. I don't dare to cripple my manners. When a son-in-law meets a father-in-law, how can I not greet him?"
"Lu Shaoyou, I haven't acknowledged you as my son-in-law yet. Don't you think it's too early to call him by his name, my daughter? Not everyone has the right to marry her. " Beigong Qingcang looked at Lu Shaoyou, and an invisible Qi enveloped him. It instantly crushed Lu Shaoyou within it. Under such force, the entire hall trembled. The eyes of the elders changed slightly.
At this moment, Lu Shaoyou felt a majestic pressure crushing down on his body. Under the tremendous force, it was difficult for him to raise his head, as if he was going to prostrate himself in front of the pressure.
The six colored Martial Core in his body rotated, and a golden light spread out. The pressure on Lu Shaoyou's body was greatly reduced. Under this enormous pressure, he raised his head once again, and his attitude remained neither servile nor overbearing. He said, "The engagement between the son-in-law and Wushuang has existed for a long time. It doesn't matter whether father-in-law admits it or not. This matter could not be changed and no one could change it. The son-in-law greets father-in-law. "
"He's really strong." Looking at Lu Shaoyou, many elders sighed in their hearts. Under the suppression of the patriarch, although he hadn't used his full strength yet, Lu Shaoyou was still able to resist it so easily. It wasn't something an ordinary person could do.
"Haha!" Looking at Lu Shaoyou, Beigong Qingcang's eyes turned and the suppressive force disappeared. Laughing loudly, he looked at Lu Shaoyou and said, "Kid, you have guts. Get up, you son-in-law. I, Beigong Qingcang, admit it."
"Thank you, father-in-law." Lu Shaoyou smiled and stood up, looking at Beigong Qingcang. He was secretly shocked by his father-in-law's strength. He had definitely surpassed the Venerable Level. As for how far he had gone... Lu Shaoyou couldn't tell, but he knew that this wasn't something a Venerable Level could compare with. He must have used his full strength just now.2
"Patriarch, this matter hasn't been decided yet. Wushuang is the young lady of my clan. How can she marry anyone from the outside world? Therefore, Patriarch should take back the order and seize it from us in the future. " As Lu Shaoyou stood up and stretched out his hand, an old man in a light blue robe stood up immediately.
"Third Elder, what do you mean by this? The clan doesn't have any rules stating that the people of the clan can't marry in the outside world." Beigong Yanchao looked at the old man in the light blue robe and asked.
"City Lord, although there is no written rule in the family, there has always been an unwritten rule in the Beigong family. The City Lord knew the importance of Wood Emperor's Qi. Miss Wushuang's Wood Emperor's Qi was the highest existence in the family. If she could obtain the benefits in Divine Temple this time... Her future would be limitless. Furthermore, with Lu Shaoyou's Qi... There are many engagement agreements. How can the young lady of Beigong family serve a husband with someone else?" Another elder stood up and objected.
"That's right. The young lady of the Beigong family can't serve a husband. No matter how talented Lu Shaoyou was, he had comprehended a new attribute. Not everyone can be like me, Patriarch Beigong. In the past, the Beigong family and Dugu family weren't the only people who could master the new attribute. However, only the Beigong family and the Dugu family can master a new attribute and step into the Imperial Family." Another person stood up and opposed the idea.
Lu Shaoyou's expression changed slightly. It seemed like this was still a little troublesome.
"What the elders said makes sense." Beigong Qingcang sat on the seat of honor. His gaze shifted slightly as he said, "But I would like to know why the elders are against it."
"Patriarch, first of all, this Lu Shaoyou is not a member of Beigong family. For the sake of Wood Emperor's protection, Miss Wushuang could not marry anyone from the outside world. Secondly, it is said that this Lu Shaoyou is already engaged to many people. The eldest daughter of the Beigong family must never serve a husband with anyone. Therefore, the two of them are connected. This matter must not be allowed. I hope that the patriarch can consider this matter for the sake of the family. Receive the order." The Third Elder said seriously.
" Bullshit. The marriage between Wushuang and me is only related to my parents. Heaven and earth don't care. It doesn't concern you at all." Just as the Third Elder finished speaking, Lu Shaoyou could not bear it any longer. He looked at the few elders who opposed him and scolded them coldly.
"Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!"
Lu Shaoyou's voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"How dare you! This is the Beigong family, how can I allow you to be so impudent!" An elder was the first to shout angrily at Lu Shaoyou.
"You are talking about the marriage between Wushuang and me, and you still don't want me to speak? I don't know if this is a violation of your rules or the marriage between Wushuang and me is stepping on your tails." Lu Shaoyou stood with his hands behind his back, but he was not polite. A good person was bullied, and a good horse was ridden. Lu Shaoyou had long understood this principle. To deal with some pedantic people. There was no need to be polite.
