Chapter 174 Confused Mind
After it was decided to support Zhongzhou, the question became who would lead the team to Zhongzhou.
Nie Baili is going.
Once she goes, there is no need to say that the following four will definitely go.
Shen Ji also wanted to go with him, but the other elders did not allow him to do so.
He was afraid that there was no one in the Qingxiao Sect, and if Shen Wu Yue suddenly attacked, the entire sect would be wiped out!
Other sects don’t want this either, because if something happens to their sect, someone will have to rescue them.
There was no other way, Shen Ji could only let his uncle Shen Tu go to Zhongzhou on his behalf.
Just as several thousand people set out, news came from Zhongzhou.
Fu Meng succeeded to the throne as the new head of the family and was the first to stand up and declare that he was irreconcilable with the demons.
He listed thirty-six pieces of evidence of Kamiyazuki's crimes and called on the noble families to unite and resist foreign enemies.
This is indeed good news for Zhongzhou, which is in a state of uncertainty.
At least one family has made a clear statement.
Even Shen Ji praised: "It is still somewhat useful to keep her alive."
The people of Zhongzhou were determined to resist the demons, but the other three families were unusually calm, as if they were dead.
When Jiang Yueli and others arrived in Zhongzhou, there was no longer the warm welcome as last time.
Even the Jiang family didn't send anyone to pick her up.
Nie Baili was afraid that she would be sad, so he comforted her: "They don't know you're coming back today."
Jiang Yueli shook his shoulders indifferently:
"I'm not without legs, I can just walk back! Even if they won't let me in, I'll blow the door up!"
Nie Baili wants to see Fu Meng.
I can’t go back with Jiang Yueli.
Hua Shengsheng also has to go to the Ye family.
So the three of them said goodbye here.
The disciples sent to support followed Nie Baili to Fu's house.
Now only Fu Meng's attitude is the clearest.
Before she had taken two steps, Fu Meng sent someone to invite her.
Just right.
When they arrived at Fu's house, Fu Meng sat in the master's chair, his face pale but his eyes sparkling.
"sit."
Nie Baili took a sip of hot tea and asked:
"Are you ok?"
Fu Meng smiled and said:
"Don't owe anyone anything, live with a clear conscience, and do whatever you want. Isn't that good?"
Nie Baili's eyebrows relaxed: "That's good."
"The thousands of disciples who came to support me will probably have to be accommodated in your home. I will have to visit the other three families."
Fu Meng stood up: "The Fu family can accommodate you, don't worry."
"The fact that I could openly declare war on Shen Wuyue was only possible after I had persuaded the elders of the clan for a long time."
“The other three are old rogues and will not be in a hurry to express their views.”
"The noble families are not fence-sitters, nor are they the first to speak out. If they can't offer enough benefits or threats, they won't easily express their views."
The reminder from floating dreams is on point.
Nie Baili also got a general understanding of the situation, asked some more questions, and then left alone to visit the Jiang family.
The Jiang family is not at peace either.
After Jiang Yueli came back, her parents avoided her.
The best answer is to avoid the question.
If she were the naive girl she used to be, she would probably rush to her parents for a clear answer.
But now...she has learned to act first and ask for permission later.
Since her parents are not at home, she should give the orders.
So Jiang Yueli calmly sent the housekeeper away and went to her father's study.
I found the family emblem and wrote a statement myself.
Stamp the seal of the head of the family and publish it in the name of the head of the family.
All of a sudden, the crowd was in an uproar!
Countless people gathered at the door of the Jiang family, feeling that the family was worthy of being called a noble family.
When encountering difficulties, be the first to step up!
Even the elders of the clan only knew that the Jiang family was going to declare war on the demons after seeing the announcement!
Yes, that's right!
declare war!
It's not just opposition, it's a direct confrontation!
The patriarch's eyes went blurry and he almost fainted.
When they entered the mansion, they asked who had done it.
Someone immediately handed Jiang Yueli over.
The clan leader ran over angrily and questioned Jiang Yueli:
"You just stayed in Qingxiao Sect for a while, and now you have grown so powerful that you don't even bother to consult with others when doing big things, right?"
Jiang Yueli was clueless: "Ah? I don't know, is it me?"
The clan leader was so angry that he almost passed out!
The Jiang couple, who were resting at the farm far away, were also very surprised to hear the news.
He ran back immediately, fearing that Yue Li would be in trouble.
When I entered the room, I saw Jiang Yueli kneeling on the ground crying.
The patriarch next to him almost broke the floor tiles with his walking stick.
The head of the family immediately reached out his hand: "Patriarch, it was all me! I ordered it, don't blame her!"
The clan leader was not stupid: "You did it? Do you think I would believe it?"
Mrs. Jiang was anxious and quickly explained:
"It was us who did it. It's normal for us to dislike the demons! That's why we quickly ran away for shelter. We didn't expect this idiot to come back and run into trouble."
The clan leader was skeptical, thinking of Jiang Yueli's personality.
He really doesn't seem like the type of person who could do such a thing.
Heartbrokenly said:
"You...are so confused! The one who sticks out gets shot. Fu Jia is a half-baked person, are you the same?"
"Now, Shen Wu Yue will definitely not believe us in our secret surrender. This is completely placing the bet on that hairy boy Shen Ji!"
The owner calmed down and said:
"Chen Ji is already in the state of ascending, and must be much stronger than Shen Wu Yue. When did the cultivation world judge strength by age?"
The patriarch also knew this truth, but he didn't dare to gamble.
He left with a long sigh, leaning on a cane.
After everyone left, the head of the family slapped Jiang Yueli in the face:
"You are putting the lives of your entire family on the line!"
The lady was so frightened that she quickly stood in front of her daughter: "If you have anything to say, come to me! She is still a child!"
"child?"
The head of the family closed his eyes: "Is this something a child can do?"
Jiang Yueli felt heartbroken after being slapped in the face.
I am more convinced that it is right to act first and report later.
At no time should you bet that your parents and you are on the same page.
Everyone has a stance.
She raised her head, her eyes as firm as ever:
"Since the day Shen Wu Yue's conspiracy was exposed, the entire cultivation world has been on fire!"
"It's not just the Jiang family!"
"Do you think Shen Wu Yue will let the Jiang family go after you surrender? Wrong! If he had a broad mind, he wouldn't have tried to win over the head of the Ye family to work for him so early and secretly subvert the four great families!"
"What you call waiting and watching is nothing more than a last-ditch effort to survive."
The head of the family still refused to accept: "That's better than dying!"
"The aristocratic family has stood for a hundred years by taking advantage of the situation. They will invest in whoever has the most power."
Jiang Yueli refuted:
"Thinking back a thousand years ago, the Jiang family was just a third-rate family. It was because the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Zhiyao, wholeheartedly supported the righteous path to defeat the demons that the Jiang family was what it is today. Was the head of the Jiang family also taking advantage of the situation at that time? Obviously, the demons were about to kill all the cultivators at that time!"
The head of the family had nothing to say and could only say angrily:
"Okay, you are right, I will let you be the head of the family!"
Jiang Yueli got up from the ground and said, "I'll take the responsibility! I'd rather die in front!!"
The head of the family was so angry that he covered his chest and backed away repeatedly.
"You rebellious girl!!"
"Old man, stop talking! Take your medicine, take it quickly!"
The lady stuffed the medicine into the mouth of the master of the Jiang family and pulled him away with force.
If they continue arguing, the father and daughter will inevitably have a fight.
This was the scene that Nie Baili saw when he climbed over the wall.
After everyone left, she appeared in front of Jiang Yueli and gave him a thumbs up:
"That's awesome, Junior Sister!"
Jiang Yueli wiped away her tears and comforted herself:
"I did overstep my authority this time, and what my father said makes sense, but it's because we are on different sides. Let the facts prove who is right and who is wrong!"
Nie Baili patted her shoulder:
"A patriarch who seeks victory by playing it safe does not want to take any risks. Don't be afraid. Even if something really happens, I will bring the members of the Jiang family to the Qingxiao Sect."
"...But by then, Qingxiao Sect might also become a battlefield."
