Chapter 382: I, Old Li, Want to Introduce Someone

MO Xiu knew about the Zha family, but there was one more thing he didn’t know.
That night, the manager secretly called all the royal family heads for a meeting. Such a meeting would only be held before a major decision was made.
All the family heads were present!
In a conference room that was so big that it seemed a little empty, an old man in black sat at the front. His age was unknown.
There were seven people sitting below. They were the Elder of Heavenly Secrets, the head of the Zhuge family, Big Cat, and the heads of the four great families.
Below them were the heads of the other families. This was a grand meeting. Those who could enter this meeting room were the heads of the families. The highest combat power of the entire central region was sitting in this meeting room.
Everyone present was very quiet, waiting for the black-robed elder to speak.
The black-robed old man looked left and right. When he saw that everyone had arrived, he slowly spoke.
“The meeting this time is very simple.”
“Old You, why did you choose a leader?” Big Cat asked. Could it be that a war has broken out?”
The black-robed old man who was called Elder You replied expressionlessly, “That’s right. According to the information sent back by Master Tang, the voices of the beasts are getting louder and louder. I’m afraid they won’t be able to control themselves soon.”
“If the wild beasts dare to come, we’ll fight!” said the Xi Clan’s patriarch. If humans could repel wild beasts once, they could repel them a second time!”
Many voices echoed. It could be seen that the Xi family head had a high prestige within the imperial family.
Elder You waved his hand to signal for silence. Then, he continued, “That is why we need a leader to lead our royal team.”
” I don’t think it’s necessary.” A voice sounded from below.” The manager gave the order, so we just have to listen to it.””
“That’s right, but without a spiritual leader, can we really carry out orders efficiently?” The head of the Zha family retorted.”
“That’s right!” Elder You added. Can we managers lead you? I dare say that everyone here has scolded us old men.”
All the family heads fell silent. The manager was not a leader. He only limited the existence of the royal family in peaceful times.
Not to mention leading the royal family, the conflict between the two sides that had accumulated over the years was difficult to resolve.
Elder You continued,” The role of the manager in this matter is still to support. It still depends on your own will. After choosing a leader, you can start to prepare for the battle.”
The family heads below the stage began to discuss intensely. From time to time, someone would put forward feasible suggestions.
After several rounds of discussion and voting, the final conclusion was that the leader would be a family, not an individual.
It was much simpler to discuss and come up with a plan. The rest was voting. Whichever family had the most votes would be elected as the leader of the royal family.
Tianji, Zhuge, and the ‘big’ families were relatively neutral and did not participate in the election. All the remaining families could be elected.
The ones with the greatest hope were the Xi, Cha, Bei, and Rong families. These four families had the strongest strength.
The final result was not unexpected. The four great clans were in the top four, and the Xi Clan won the election by a small margin.
The Bei Family Head was good at scheming, and the Xi Family Head was forthright. This might be the reason why the Xi Family was elected in the end.
The voting results were out, but everyone’s expression was very strange. They looked at the old man of Tianji together, as if this old man had the right to reject.
After the Elder of Heavenly Secrets nodded slightly, everyone began to congratulate the Xi Clan on being elected as the clan head.
The master of the Xi family was an upright person. At this moment, he said with a serious expression,”Everyone! This was not something worth celebrating. At this time, a war was imminent and could break out at any time. It was best to prepare early and ask the other families to support him.”
The head of the Xi clan was forthright and humble. He cupped his hands towards the crowd and turned to the other clans around him.
The other three clans cupped their fists in response, indicating that they would do their best to cooperate.
The royal family had been locked in this space for so many years. While they had become arrogant, they had also retained their hatred for wild beasts and their battle memories. They had not forgotten their mission. Perhaps they had lived to protect the territory of humans since they were born.
No matter who it was, no matter how selfish they were, the sense of mission of the royal family had always been there.
Even for people like Ouyang Zhigu, when wild beasts invaded human territory,
they would rush to the front because they were royalty. This was their saddest and proudest thing.
Therefore, when the Xi Clan was chosen as the leader, the other clans did not raise any objections. Even the Bei Clan’s head, who had almost lost, did not say anything. This was because to be able to sit on the position of the head of the clan, one had to have a long-term vision and know what was most important.
The head of the Bei Family knew very well that the Xi Family was more suitable to be the spiritual leader. Once war broke out, the entire alliance would be in chaos. As a member of the royal family, it was impossible for them to sit on the fishing platform. They would split up to fight the enemy. There was no guarantee of who would be the commander in a local war.
Therefore, this position was more to prepare for the battle and take the lead. As the number one warrior family of the imperial family, the Xi family was the most suitable.
” There’s another purpose of this meeting,” said Elder You.” We’ve chosen a leader, but we still need a vanguard!”
“Old You, if we’re talking about the vanguard, our branch is the most suitable, right?” Big Cat asked.”
Old You shook his head and said expressionlessly,””You don’t understand what I mean. The war hasn’t started yet. We need a strong and young team to go to the border to investigate. They can be used as scouts and vanguards, and they can also train the younger generation.”
“Then what do you mean?”
“This team also needs a leader!”
As soon as this sentence was said, the various family heads began to discuss.
Manager Elder You and Elder Tang had a very close relationship. He chose a leader of the younger generation and coincidentally raised this idea when MO Xiu appeared and attracted the attention of the family heads.
Elder You had already expressed his intentions. He recommended MO Xiu. Do you have any objections?
However, this was a secret meaning. As the manager, Elder You definitely wouldn’t say it out loud. At this time, someone was needed to recommend MO
Xiu.
As MO Xiu’s grandfather, Li Xin stood out at this time.
“Hahaha••••••••”
His signature bright smile filled the entire meeting room, causing the entire place to fall silent.
“I, Old Li, would like to recommend someone!”
Old You nodded. Big Cat asked anxiously,””Oh? Old Li, who is your candidate?”
Li Xin straightened her back and proudly shook her head, saying,””The person I recommended is my grandson, MO Xiu!”
Big Cat said again,”Old Li, if you can say it, you have a reason!’”‘
“I’m sure everyone has seen Moxiu’s recent performance, right? “We have enough strength and prestige. Most importantly, we have a great reputation in the outside world. We can use this opportunity to show our faces in the outside world..”
