Chapter 3681: Chapter 1790: Beast_3
The family head said nothing.
The family head said everything.
Some things don’t need to be explained, do they? If spoken too much and too clearly, it loses its meaning!
Hua Zhiyao responded heavily:
"Yes!"
Hua Changdeng then waved his hand indisputably and said, "Then everyone disperse, the family meeting will reconvene in three days, remember the time."
"Of course."
"Yes, yes, a morning meeting, how could we forget?"
"In three days? That’s not bad, just right, three days later is this old man’s birthday... hehe, everyone, please attend early."
All the elders responded and were about to leave.
Suddenly, the family head’s voice arose again — today the family head was quite talkative, yet he still adhered to his brief style of speaking:
"Wait."
Everyone turned around to look.
They saw the family head tap on a stele.
Then he pointed at the stele, pointing to the large words on it, "The Path is endless, stop when appropriate," and said calmly:
"Send this stele into the spacetime turbulence, as far as possible."
What?!
Upon hearing this, the elders were shocked and someone exclaimed:
"Family head, these characters were personally inscribed by our ancestors, they’ve never been moved, never altered, serving as a warning. How can it be thrown into the spatial fragment?"
"Family head, what are you saying, surely you spoke wrong, throwing it into the spatial fragment, this is really... really..."
The old man stammered on "really" for a while, ultimately unable to utter the words "Great Treachery," lacking the courage.
No one present was even a demi-saint, who would dare?
Hua Changdeng’s expression remained normal: "I said ’send’, not ’throw’.
Huh?
Is there a difference between tearing open a spatial crack and then ’sending’ the stele into the spatial fragment, versus ’throwing’ it?
Is it the difference between someone on the other side of the spatial fragment catching it, and no one catching it?
This is absurd!
Everything is absurd!
Think and think again, and it still remains absurd!
"Family head, I object."
Whether radical or conservative, opinions were unanimous on this occasion.
An elder stepped forth, with a determined look as if ready to die, boldly declaring:
"Even if this is carried out, it requires careful deliberation. The family head possesses extraordinary talents and unparalleled intellect, presiding over the Yunshan Emperor realm and holding the right to decide. In matters concerning the ancestors, in my opinion..."
Hua Changdeng’s eyelids drooped as he impatiently glanced over, interrupting:
"Are you teaching me how to act?"
Swish, the arena fell silent.
The elder who spoke suddenly broke into a sweat, stammering and unable to speak further.
Hua Changdeng gave a cold laugh, disdainfully saying:
"Do I need to use the Holy Emperor’s Golden Edict as an oath?"
"Among you and me present, even though we share the same roots, at least one is a traitor from a different clan."
"I intend to use a plan; do I need to disclose the plan’s details to you and me, and also that different clan traitor?"
What?!
The elders were struck as if by lightning, their faces turning pale, looking at each other, each eyeing the one they most suspected in their hearts.
For a moment, numerous gazes crisscrossed, weaving an intangible web of suspicion in the void.
"Do it."
Hua Changdeng commanded, yet still no one dared to move.
He chuckled, shaking his head and clicking his tongue: "What, are you all traitors, and now, not a single one of you listens to me?"
This...
The elders were fearful, almost kneeling.
Fortunately, at this moment, someone stood out, raised a hand, and shouted:
"I’ll do it!"
Everyone looked at Hua Zhiyao as if he were the savior.
Though his face was indeed fearful, Hua Zhiyao was infinitely calm within.
It’s not a matter of family knowing family business anymore; it’s about knowing one’s own business — at least Hua Zhiyao was sure he wasn’t the traitor!
Since the family head has spoken...
Even under family law, once explained, he need only follow, what crime could there still be?
He strode forward, drawing the three-foot-long sword at his waist; with one slash, he tore the void, and with a flick, he sent the stele that had stood before the great hall for many years into the spacetime turbulence under the astonished gaze of all.
Decisive, straightforward, without hesitation!
"Family head."
Having done this resolutely, Hua Zhiyao looked at the family head with a normal face, without seeking praise.
Hua Changdeng nodded slightly, his gaze revealing some satisfaction:
"Disperse."
He waved his sleeve, his figure flickering as he vanished from the original spot.
Strange...
The elders’ hearts eased slightly, each looking at the others in suspicion, feeling something was strange, yet unable to pinpoint it.
"Disperse!"
Hua Zhiyao, already trending as the leader of the elders, also waved his sleeve and left first.
The family head left, and Hua Zhiyao left too.
Now there was no reason for everyone else to stay behind.
Any further doubts could be pondered at home and then discussed at the family meeting in three days, so each employed their methods, transforming into rainbow lights to escape the Yun Mountain Temple.
"All of you, return!"
Before they had gone far, a booming shout came.
The elders were directly pulled back by a great force, landing at the entrance of the great hall, each baffled.
"Family head?"
"Ah, family head, do you have more to say?"
"What’s the matter, family head, why have you returned again..."
Yes, the family head had returned.
Hua Changdeng’s face was clouded as he stared at the uncertain and suspicious elders in front of him, not picking up on the information embedded in their words:
"Again?"
