The female supporting role is dedicated to cultivating immortality

Chapter 187 I don’t need you to take care of things, go and cultivate immortality
Pei's ancestral hall is divided into two parts: inner and outer halls.

Genealogy trees are stored in the inner hall, and ancestor tablets are enshrined, with endless incense. The walls of the outer hall are engraved with patriarchal laws and ancestral precepts. The hall is used for discussing clan affairs, measuring spiritual roots, rewards and punishments, and making announcements.

Let's not talk about how Rui'er, the maid in the inner hall, responded, and how the fourth aunt reacted.

Yinggu disclosed the causes of death of the five monks in the outer hall, ordered people to set up a mourning hall to pay homage, and promised on behalf of the clan to take care of the relatives of the deceased and to bury them on a different day.

Then she rewarded them based on their merits, especially the four tribesmen who left the secret realm alive, including Pei Ruxi and Pei Xue. Not to mention Pei Ruxi, Pei Xue was promoted by her.

Because the situation at Hongqiao Falls is complicated, not only the one Yinggu killed, but also the tribe members betrayed Pei Ruxi's information, or took bribes from outsiders to do things for outsiders.On the way back, the team was attacked, and some members of the tribe betrayed or made other mistakes.

According to the actual situation, Yinggu punished the above-mentioned people and beheaded them for betraying the clan.

The bodies were dragged away and the blood on the ground was washed away.

The tribesmen who came to the ancestral hall to watch were whispering to each other, talking a lot, and looking at Aunt Ying with a little more awe.

There were also people who pointed at Gu Ying and cursed loudly, such as Uncle Pei who watched his brother being executed with his own eyes.

He hated Gu Ying very much: "Whether it is rewards or punishments, they must be implemented after clan discussions! Pei Yingying, you make your own decisions and use your power to your advantage. Do you take the clan laws into consideration?! You are arbitrary! You have violated the clan laws!" "

"Yes! You have exceeded your authority, Pei Yingying!" someone shouted after him.

The scene became riotous.

Gu Ying's voice was overwhelming: "Those who slander Foundation Establishment cultivators will be severely punished!"

In an instant, several thorny vines stretched out, wrapped around the ankles of Fourth Uncle Pei and others, and pierced their bodies with poisonous thorns.

They couldn't avoid the ivy, and their spiritual power suddenly became useless, and they were dragged away by the ivy involuntarily.

Amid the screams, they hung with their feet in the air and their heads on the ground, hanging from the big tree, and were beaten with whip-like branches until they screamed. They no longer had the arrogance to scold Yinggu.

Everyone fell silent one after another, clearly realizing——

Yinggu is involved in the clan affairs and will not live in a stone house by the lake like before, living a life indifferent to fame and fortune, without fighting against the world.

She is a foundation-building cultivator and the pillar of the Pei family, and she cannot tolerate slights.

The whipping of Fourth Uncle Pei and others was so painful that Aunt Ying clapped her hands.

The green vines let go, and the fourth uncle Pei and the others who were hung upside down immediately fell to the ground, wailing.

"brush!"

The ivy on the ground dragged them to Yinggu. She looked down at them coldly: "If they do it again, I will definitely punish them twice as much!" He told everyone, "No one is allowed to heal their wounds! No one is allowed to give them healing medicine!"

No one dares to disobey.

Having established her authority, Yinggu introduced the foundation-building monk Liu Shanxiu to the tribe:
"From now on, Liu Daoyou is the guest elder of our Pei clan!
"She will protect us and teach us how to practice fighting!

"Furthermore, Elder Liu's treatment is based on that of Pei's Foundation Establishment Monk. How you treat me is how you treat Elder Liu!"

Can outsiders be treated as well as Yinggu?
Everyone looked at Liu Shanxiu and did not agree with Yinggu.

With so many benefits for outsiders, how many benefits are left for our own people?

Their interests were being misappropriated, and even though Aunt Ying was standing in front of her, people couldn't help but speak: "Aunt Ying, is this not in line with the patriarchal laws? Does my little ancestor agree with this?"

Yinggu said calmly: "I invited Elder Liu to come home with me, and I got the tacit approval of my little ancestor."

Another person said: "The little ancestor is very powerful, but she is not very old. Her decisions may not all be correct."

Aunt Ying said calmly: "Do you know how many resources the little ancestor has harvested in the secret realm?"

Who can guess this?
People looked at Pei Xue and other people who came back with their little ancestor, expecting their answer.

In fact, Pei Xue didn't know how much Pei Ruxi had gained.

What she knew was only what Pei Ruxi had bought at the auction, and even if Pei went bankrupt, he would not be able to buy it.

Letting everyone speculate and discuss, Yinggu clapped her hands again, and Xiaozhi came to the ancestral hall with a bucket of ink and a thick brush, ready to write on the bulletin board.

A box was carried to Yinggu. She opened it, took out something from it, and showed it to the tribe: "Two storage bags ten feet square, can be used for ten years."

Xiaozhi dipped in ink and wrote.

"Three middle-grade foundation-building pills.

"Third-level attack weapons, with varying qualities, seven in total.

"Third-level defensive magic weapons, with varying qualities, nine in total.

"One piece of "Thick Earth Technique" and "Flower Folding Sword Technique" that can be cultivated to the golden elixir stage.

"Twelve second-level attack spells, including flying sand and moving rocks, heavy rain golden needles, fire trees and silver flowers..."

Unexpectedly, Pei Ruxi gained such a huge harvest, and everyone was extremely excited.

It is said that Pei Ruxi is the hope for the rise of the Pei family, but she is not the only one, everyone also wants to be strong.

Now, they see hope in their own power.

Taking this opportunity, Yinggu announced: "My little ancestor gave me the rewards from this trip. The resources I have shown are only a small part -"

"Wait a minute!"

Pei Xiangrong rushed over and interrupted her loudly.

With a cold face, Aunt Ying looked at him.

I saw Pei Xiangrong wearing a black robe embroidered with golden dragons. The crown and hairpin on his head, the earrings on his ears, the belt, jade pendants, and even the shoes on his feet were all magic weapons that contained spiritual light. He was noble, gorgeous, and handsome. .

His appearance was pleasing to the eye, and Liu Shanxiu looked at him intently.

"Friend Liu Dao, I have long admired you!" He smiled at her, his eyes moving, exuding a breathtaking charm.

"Nice to meet you." Liu Shanxiu responded calmly.

Uncle Pei Wu and Pei Jinsheng, who stared at each other, followed Pei Xiangrong, two steps behind him, as if they were taking the lead.Apparently, Pei Xiangrong mediated their conflicts and made them reach an agreement with him.

Many tribesmen in the ancestral hall seemed to have found a backbone and surrounded Pei Xiangrong like stars holding the moon. Voices of greetings to him kept coming and going. Even Pei Xue and Xiao Zhi couldn't help but look at him.

"Okay, okay, everyone is fine." Pei Xiangrong responded with a smile, not ignoring anyone, making everyone feel comfortable.

Pei Xiangrong was startled when he saw Fourth Uncle Pei's skin and flesh bruised, and he quickly helped him:
"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you?
"This is the ancestral hall of the Pei family, who dares to beat you like this?

"Don't speak in a hurry. I have a rejuvenation pill. Take it quickly to avoid feeling uncomfortable.

"Oh, you were poisoned and your spiritual power was blocked.

"It's okay, it's okay, I have an antidote."

Full of grievances, he was finally taken seriously and comforted. Even though Fourth Uncle Pei, with his disheveled hair and blood-stained clothes, hated Pei Xiangrong, he couldn't help but burst into tears at this time, holding Pei Xiangrong's hand and sobbing.

Just as he was about to take the elixir, a green vine grabbed his ankle and dragged him down violently.

But it was Yinggu who took action. Pei Xiangrong couldn't save the person she punished personally.

"Eh?" Pei Xiangrong grabbed Fourth Uncle Pei who was about to fall to the ground, and fired a bunch of flames at Ivy. The pressure of the foundation-building monks volleyed towards Yinggu, and said angrily, "What are you doing!"

The green vine was not afraid of the fire and still clung to Fourth Uncle Pei, never letting go for a moment.

In terms of cultivation, Pei Xiangrong was better than Yinggu. Yinggu stopped Liu Shanxiu from taking action. Her face turned pale, a little blood spilled from her lips, and she was slightly injured.

After wiping away the blood, Yinggu asked, "How do you become a clan leader? You don't know the whole story, and you just listen to what's going on. For the sake of a bold madman who despises the foundation-building monks, you actually injured me?"

Pei Xiangrong immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I care about you!" He gave a rejuvenation pill and said, "Please take it, Aunt Ying." Aunt Ying snorted coldly and accepted the pill.

After learning about the causes and consequences of Fourth Uncle Pei's punishment, Pei Xiangrong clapped his hands and said, "Well done, Aunt Ying! You are an elder and a foundation-building monk. Don't talk about Fourth Brother. Even if I am the acting clan leader, I must still respect you." !”

Afterwards, Pei Xiangrong changed his tone:
“But, Aunt Ying, there’s something I don’t understand.

"Why did you reward and punish clan members without informing the clan? Make decisions about pensions and other matters without informing the clan? Use resources belonging to the clan without permission?

"As a foundation-building monk, you are familiar with the Pei family's clan law. Why do you know the law and break it? Intimidate the clan members?"

Compared with the refreshing Pei Xiangrong, everyone dislikes Aunt Ying.

Following Pei Xiangrong, they all accused her:

"You are building a foundation.

"You don't understand the affairs of the clan. How did you live your life? How will you live your life in the future? Isn't it okay?"

This statement was approved by people.

"My little ancestor doesn't really interfere in clan affairs, so Aunt Ying should be serious about cultivating immortality. You won't be promoted for long, your realm is unstable, and you need to be in seclusion for a few years."

"With the little ancestor here, the clan is very stable, and Aunt Ying can rest assured that she will be in seclusion."

"Everyone be quiet." Pei Xiangrong raised his hand.

Everyone shut up and obeyed his orders.

Seeing Pei Xiangrong's influence, Yinggu said coldly: "I will decide all matters regarding the trip to Hongqiao Falls! Rewarding those who have meritorious service, distributing pensions, and punishing those who make mistakes are the powers entrusted to me by the clan!"

Pei Xiangrong: "No. You can decide rewards and punishments outside. Today you are back, the power will automatically return to the clan, and you have to abide by the clan law. In addition, even if you are outside, rewards, punishments, and pensions are not things you can decide. You have to hand it over to Clan.”

Everyone nodded quickly: "What the patriarch said is that Aunt Ying has exceeded her authority!"

Yinggu is not afraid of Pei Xiangrong: "My little ancestor appointed me as the great elder of the Pei family and gave me the power of rewards and punishments. My little ancestor is above the patriarchal law. From now on, I am in charge of the power of rewards and punishments of the Pei family! With my little ancestor's consent, I am not afraid of Pei Xiangrong." Later, I divided the power of rewards and punishments into two parts, I am in charge of rewards, my guest, Elder Liu, is in charge of punishments, and Elder Liu obeys me."

Pei Xiangrong was shocked.

Stabilizing his emotions, he said calmly: "I have never heard my little ancestor mention this matter. I will ask her for confirmation." Bypassing the power of rewards and punishments, he said, "Please ask the great elder to hand over the gains from the trip to the clan and enter them in the treasury."

Yinggu clearly refused: "No!"

Pei Xiangrong emphasized in a deep voice: "My little ancestor gave the harvest to you for safekeeping, not for distribution!"

Yinggu said: "I am in charge of rewards and cannot be without resources. My little ancestor agreed that I would distribute the income from this trip without turning it over to the clan treasury."

"Invite the little ancestor here!" Uncle Pei couldn't help but say, "This is not in line with the Pei family's clan!"

"Yinggu, don't use your power for personal gain under the guise of your little ancestor!" Pei Jinsheng shouted.

"Elder Liu, he slandered the foundation-building monks." Yinggu pointed at Pei Jinsheng.

Liu Shanxiu smiled slightly without making any movement.

Just when Pei Jinsheng thought he had escaped, he suddenly flew up and fell in front of Yinggu with a thud.

Holding a branch given by Yinggu, Liu Shanxiu rewarded Pei Jinsheng ten times in public.

On the surface, his injuries were not as serious as those of Fourth Uncle Pei. In fact, he had to lie down for a few days after taking the Rejuvenation Pill, otherwise he would not be able to get off the ground. The Rejuvenation Pill could not expel the spiritual power that was sent into his body to punish him when Liu Shanxiu whipped him.

Seeing that Aunt Ying had the upper hand with Pei Ruxi's support, Pei Xiangrong cursed the evil girl in his heart, kept a smile on his face, and said to Liu Shanxiu: "I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Liu for some advice, can you?"

Liu Shanxiu raised his eyebrows: "You are the father of the little ancestor and the patriarch of the clan. You are rich and noble. I dare not give you advice."

Pei Xiangrong invited again and again.

Everyone was excited: "Liu Keqing, show your skills! Show us what you can do! You don't dare to compete in a fight, what do you dare to do? Chief, let me do it. I am not high in cultivation, so Liu Keqing doesn't dare to Accept the challenge!"

Among the crowd, Pei Xiangrong raised his chin and looked at Yinggu and Liu Shanxiu, smiling particularly meaningfully.

The Pei family is under his control. Aunt Ying, who has never participated in family affairs, is an unpopular outsider. So what if he has Pei Ruxi as his backer?

If you can't beat him, you can't beat him.

Not wanting to be looked down upon, Liu Shanxiu asked Aunt Ying with her eyes: Should I fight?
Yinggu intuitively felt that Pei Xiangrong had a conspiracy in inviting the war, but Liu Shanxiu had to show his strength in order to better control the family's power of punishment.She sent a message to Liu Shanxiu: "Don't attack him, just capture him quickly. Don't believe his sweet words."

"Okay." Liu Shanxiu answered reluctantly.

She couldn't fight Pei Ruxi, but Pei Xiangrong took the initiative to invite a fight. She really wanted to see how strong this man was - with a daughter like Pei Ruxi, how could he be worse as a father?

Everyone cheered and made room.

Yinggu announced the rules of the competition: "No heavy blows until the point is reached! No damage to the ground, no damage to the vegetation..."

The battle begins in full view of the people.

Because Liu Shanxiu was invited by Aunt Ying to come to the Pei family as a guest of the elder Qing, Pei Xiangrong was unwilling to keep her and just wanted to drive her away.He will be severely injured by her in front of everyone. When the time comes, she will have to leave if she doesn't want to...

Ok?
A small walnut popped out of Liu Shanxiu's head?

"Snapped!"

The walnut opened, and a ball of white light spilled out from inside.

As soon as he saw the light, Pei Xiangrong was tightly wrapped in an eggshell-like light shield. All his magical weapons and strength were restricted and he was unable to use them. The carefully planned torture plan came to nothing.

He was stunned.

This is not the result he wanted!
Liu Shanxiu, who was playing with two pieces of walnuts and unable to fight, looked as weak as if he had lost: "The battle is over."

People looked at each other.

The clan leader... lost to outsiders like this?No way to fight back?
"You're cheating!" Someone angrily accused Liu Shanxiu, "You won without even hitting me. You used a magic weapon to cheat!"

Liu Shanxiu raised his eyelids and collected the light and walnuts: "Your clan leader is covered in magic weapons. I actually don't mind him cheating."

Everyone has nothing to say.

If you want to cheat, you have to have something as good as a walnut!

Pei Xiangrong, who had no baby, smiled stiffly and gracefully bowed his hand to Liu Shanxiu: "Thank you Daoyou Liu for your mercy."

Before Liu Shanxiu could respond and failed to take the rejuvenating and detoxifying pills, Fourth Uncle Pei, who was still bruised and with disheveled hair, opened his hands and shouted loudly:
"So what if I win? Is it great?"

He glared hatefully at Yinggu, who had caused him such humiliation:

"Great Elder, so what if you are the Great Elder?

"Open your eyes and see how many of the tribesmen here like you? How many of them agree with you?
"You don't understand the clan affairs! You don't know the clan members either!
"Except for cultivating immortals, treating others, and hunting down a few monsters, you know nothing!

"You are in charge of rewards and punishments, and you rely on the support of your little ancestor to go against everyone. You will only bring chaos to the good clan!"

In unison, people became quiet.

Fourth Uncle Pei laughed loudly, patted his chest and said to Aunt Ying: "Come on! I slander you! I despise you! Come and teach me a lesson!"

When Aunt Ying heard this, she looked at the clan members.

They refused to look her in the eye or support her. They whispered and suggested that she go back to the stone house by the lake to retreat.The support and trust of a few people such as Pei Xue and Xiaozhi are insignificant in front of the majority of people who oppose her.

The sun was about to set, and her eyes reflected the melancholy sunset. She was neither sad nor happy. The fourth aunt's comment about "being a mediocre person" reappeared in her mind, making her shaken.
