C2005 Dark Tide Surging(3)
Facing the elders who had arrived one after another, Chu Yuzhu's face was still as gloomy and scary as before. He was so cold that no one dared to approach him. Naturally, the other elders wouldn't take the initiative to join in the fun. Everyone knew that Fann Binn's victory in the competition had put the Chu family in a serious situation. Of course, the matter hadn't reached the final moment yet. No one knew what the outcome would be.
However, these elders naturally had their own plans. After all, each of them represented a branch of the Tianyu family. There were at least a few hundred of them. Therefore, whether they chose the right target or not would undoubtedly have a huge impact on their race.
Perhaps, the Yu Family had suffered a severe loss in the Elder Council, and there were very few people in the Yu Family. They had already been replaced by the Chu family, but because of Fann Binn's sudden appearance... * Hong Long...... * Everyone had seen this vitality in their eyes, but on the surface, it was still something that needed to be tested. The main point of this test was undoubtedly Fann Binn's identity.
Indeed, as an outsider, if he wanted to obtain the power of the family head, he had to become a member of the Tianyu family. It was needless to say whether he would change his name or not. Therefore, it was still a big question whether Fann Binn was willing to do so.
Today was the third day after the end of the examination. Patriarch Yu had summoned all the council elders to the Elders Assembly Hall for a meeting. It was probably to discuss and announce whether Fann Binn was qualified to fight for the position of the patriarch.
Therefore, all the elders had arrived early. They knew that there would be a fight between Chu Yuzhu and the Tianyu today. However, they weren't spectators who were gloating over the misfortune of others, nor were they spectators who were watching the show. The pros and cons of this matter were actually related to each and every one of these elders. They had to admit that if this dark horse, Fann Binn, could really seize the position of Patriarch... The Tianyu family's surname would naturally still be Yu. At that time... The elders who supported the Chu family naturally wouldn't have a good life.
Not only that, but their clansmen would also suffer the same fate. Therefore, in fact, when the elders came to participate in this meeting, they were treading on thin ice. They had their own plans in mind.
As the clan head, Yu Tianlai was undoubtedly the last one to arrive. Unlike his usual cold expression during meetings, this time he was the exact opposite of Chu Yuzhu. He had a smile on his face as soon as he entered the room. He gave people a refreshing feeling as if he was bathing in the spring breeze.
Everyone knew that this was because Chu Yuzhu had suffered a setback. As for the reason why Patriarch Yu won the match, no one would be stupid enough to say it out loud. The battle between the Chu family and the Yu Family would surely be very intense. No elder would be stupid enough to be cannon fodder.
"Everyone has arrived quite early. It seems like they are all in good spirits. Elder Chu, what's wrong with you? Who doesn't pay you back the money that they owe you?" Yu Tianlai had just sat on the seat of the head of the family when he launched a verbal attack on Chu Yuzhu. He smiled and said," Look at your face. What's wrong? An outstanding victor has been decided in the examination. Do you feel dissatisfied or unhappy? "
"No, no, Family Head, I'm very happy. I'm very happy. " Chu Yuzhu forced a smile on his face, but no one could tell that his smile was uglier than crying.
" It's good that you're happy. Hehe, I have gathered everyone here today because I have something to announce." After saying that, Yu Tianlai turned to Yu Yide and said, "Elder Yide, you should announce it."
Yu Yide nodded and said, "Elders, the competition has come to an end. The winner of this competition will be Fann Binn. Everyone should know what kind of reward we will give to the winner of the competition, right? Not only can we enter our clan's holy land to comprehend the inner arts and mental cultivation methods for seven days, we can also participate in the election for the future Patriarch. "
" And everyone knows that one of the prerequisites for the family's election is to be a member of the Tianyu family. Therefore, the winner of the competition must change their surname. This is the only thing. We must discuss this, because Fann Binn clearly expressed that... He will not agree to change his surname."
No one had expected such news to come out of Yu Yide's mouth. All of the elders were dumbfounded. Not agree to change his name? Then Fann Binn still wanted to participate in the election for the head of the family? If this wasn't a dream, then what was?
How did the Yu family find such a spokesperson and supporter? This was nonsense! When Chu Yuzhu first heard about this matter, he was secretly delighted. But soon, he remembered the secret that his son Chu Ming told him. He was obviously not interested.
Seeing that Chu Yuzhu didn't intend to attack, Patriarch Yu said with a smile. "Don't feel surprised, everyone. Fann Binn does have his reasons for not changing his name. He is also a young and promising young man. I believe there must be someone among the elders who knows him well."
"He has become a business empire at a young age, and he is also the master of Heavenly Dragon family. He is also the honorary patriarch of Zhuge family. If such an outstanding young man can become the master of Tianyu family... I believe that in terms of economy and politics, he will be able to bring great progress to our family."
"Master, it's useless for you to say anything about his honor and strength. If he doesn't want to change his name, he won't be considered a member of our Tianyu family. If he doesn't want to acknowledge the ancestor of the Tianyu family, what qualifications does he have to be the leader? " Soon, some of the elders started to question the head of the family. Obviously, it wouldn't make sense if Fann Binn didn't change his name and become the head of the family.
"Yes, outsiders don't acknowledge the Tianyu family as their ancestor, but the head of the family. But I haven't finished speaking. Fann Binn actually has his own reasons for not changing his appearance. " At this time, Yu Tianlai looked at Yu Yide who was standing beside him and said with a smile, "We have to congratulate Elder Yide here. Congratulations to him for having an outstanding grandson-in-law soon."
"Grandson-in-law? This..." Soon, the elders understood what was going on. At this time, Yu Yide smiled and said," That's right, elders. My granddaughter, Yu Rong. No one knew when Fann Binn had hooked their hearts away. They had to marry him. He also said that the two of them knew each other and loved each other. They must live together and grow old together. If this young man doesn't have any objections, then I naturally have no objections as an old man."
Yu Yide's words undoubtedly confirmed the guesses of the elders. They couldn't help but reveal an expression of understanding. Indeed, Fann Binn didn't change his name or surname, he didn't recognize the ancestors of Tianyu family as his ancestors. No matter what, they couldn't let him become the future patriarch.
However, if he married Yu Rong, it would be different. Once they got married, he would be the grandson-in-law of Yu Yide. This was a family relationship. He could also be considered a side branch of the Yu Family. Although he had never been the head of a branch family in the history of Tianyu family, there was no clear rule in the ancestral teachings that a branch family could not be the head of a branch family. It was just that those guys who used to be the son-in-law of a branch family were too disappointing. There was no talent at all.
Now that Fann Binn had appeared, there was no doubt that he could take advantage of this loophole. He didn't need to change his name and surname to have the qualification to fight for the position of the future patriarch!
Seeing the clear expression on the faces of the elders, no one raised any objections. Yu Tianlai smiled and said, "Since all the elders think that Fann Binn and Yu Rong are a pair, and that Fann Binn can become a member of the Yu Family like this, there's nothing wrong with it. Then I can announce that Fann Binn can have the power to fight for the position of the future family head. "
"Wait a minute!" When Yu Tianlai said this, Chu Yuzhu, who was sitting in the middle of the elders without saying a word, was sitting there. Patriarch, I have a question. You said that Fann Binn and Yu Rong are good friends and want to form a bond. In theory, there was no problem, but the problem was... Fann Binn was only qualified to participate in the Family Head Competition, but he could not directly marry Yu Rong, right? After all, the real future Family Head hadn't been born yet. It was still unknown who would be the winner. "
"If my son Chu Ming defeated Fann Binn and won the Family Head Competition, would Yu Rong and Fann Binn still be able to get married? One must know that my son, Chu Ming, has admired Yu Rong for a long time. If my son becomes the family head, then Yu Rong will naturally become the wife of the family head. I think that the matter of Fann Binn and Yu Rong should not be valid, right? "
" Hmph, if Fann Binn really can't become the family head, then he naturally doesn't deserve to marry Yu Rong. Regarding this point, Elder Chu doesn't need you to say it, I also understand. However, right now, I must use Yu Rong and Fann Binn's relationship to let the elders know and understand. Fann Binn didn't need to change his name to obtain the qualification to fight for the position of the future Patriarch. Elder Chu, do you have any objections?"
Yu Yide knew what Chu Yuzhu was planning, but he had to admit his point of view now. At the same time, he wanted the Yu Family to agree with his point of view. The prerequisite was that Chu Yuzhu must agree with Fann Binn's identity, as long as he agreed. Fann Binn would naturally have the qualifications to participate in the competition for the position of the future family head.
"Alright. Logically speaking, Fann Binn should become the son-in-law of the Yu Family. That would also mean that he is a member of the Yu Family. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with him getting the right to participate in the competition for the position of the future family head. My Tianyu family didn't stipulate that a son-in-law can't fight for the position of the family head. I have no objections to this."
Chu Yuzhu said coldly, "But I believe that an outsider can never be defeated. I have confidence in my son, Chu Ming, the candidate chosen by the Tianyu family for the future patriarch. He is not afraid of anyone's challenge! "
Yu Tianlai and Yu Yide didn't expect Chu Yuzhu to agree so readily. They looked at each other. They both felt it was a little strange. However, they didn't know that Chu Ming and his father, Chu Yuzhu, had been together for a long time. This explained the ambiguous relationship between Fann Binn and Yu Rong. Chu Yuzhu had already thought about it. On this point, he had no reason to refute or stop them.
Instead of arguing for a long time after being criticized by the Yu Family, he could only helplessly agree to it. It would be better to openly agree and quickly shift the focus to the topic he wanted to discuss.
"Alright. Then, since none of the elders have any objections, I will now announce that Fann Binn has officially become the next head of the family. He will be competing with Chu Ming, the competitor chosen by the Tianyu family for the Patriarch Competition. " When Yu Tianlai said this, he secretly let out a sigh of relief. He knew that Chu Yuzhu would easily agree to it. It really made him feel as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
As long as Fann Binn was qualified to compete for the position, it meant that the victory of the battle between the Yu Family and Chu family wasn't far away. To him, this was undoubtedly good news that couldn't be any better.
