Immortality is above

Chapter 52 52: What is the overall situation (please collect and read)

The atmosphere around the ancestral hall is obviously different. At the entrance and exit, there are soldiers standing with their hands on the handles of their swords, showing a solemn attitude.

Facing real soldiers and armor, the villagers will feel scared when they look at them from a distance and dare not approach them at all.

Fourth uncle, the elders of the clan who have seen the world, will also appear to be timid.

Even Taoist Wang couldn't help but tighten his expression.

You must know that those who can follow Her Highness the Princess and serve as bodyguards must be elite soldiers who have experienced many battles, far beyond the comparison with those county government soldiers.

Many people gathered in the spacious courtyard, and the elders of each house were invited, as well as the two brothers Chen Zhengchong and Chen Zhengxing.

In addition to solving the "evil disaster incident", we also need to discuss the issue of the ritual ceremony, whether to reschedule, cancel it, or bite the bullet and do it.

If it is to be done, what theme should be used to do it...

In addition, Chen Jiagong had another intention in inviting everyone to come to the ancestral hall at this juncture: he hoped that there would be more people and a strong momentum to stabilize the scene.

Because Her Royal Highness the Princess was present, the atmosphere was stagnant and lifeless.

Can’t find a topic to talk about;
  There was nothing to talk about;

Two groups of people from completely different worlds would never have the chance to be in the same room.

In this dull and depressing atmosphere, Chen Liubai walked in with the sound of footsteps.

As soon as he came in, he attracted everyone's attention, and almost every glance contained scrutiny and conjecture.

Among them, Chen Jiagongong and the clan elders all knew Chen Liubai.

But looking at it now, it feels completely unfamiliar, so I have to get to know it again.
  As for Zhao Geer and others, we have met them once, but they barely left any impression.

Even if there is an impression, it has been completely subverted.

Chen Jia Gong stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "Liu Bai, sit here."

There is a place left there.

Chen Liubai was polite and sat down directly.

Chen Jia Gong coughed dryly: "Liu Bai, I'm calling you here because Her Highness the Princess has something to ask. Please answer quickly. Don't be rude."

Chen Liubai glanced at it and said calmly: "Looking at this scene, it looks like a case is being tried in court. Why is it like this?"

Hou Huanian couldn't stand him for a long time, and stood up suddenly: "Chen Liubai, today I am going to put you on trial!"

"Why are you interrogating me?"

"The Chen family's evil misfortunes, ghosts calling out souls, and the clan's divine sword are all closely related to you. In my opinion, you are very suspicious."

Chen Liubai looked at him: "So?"

Facing his calm gaze, the anger in Hou Huanian's heart became increasingly difficult to suppress: "So you must confess immediately and not hide anything. Otherwise, we will take you down and put you on trial."

Seeing that the two of them started to quarrel as soon as they disagreed, Chen Jiagong secretly complained and winked at his fourth uncle.

Everyone here and others are pretending to be deaf and dumb, unwilling to get involved.

Don't even dare.

The highest-ranking person in the clan is Chen Zhengxing. He is a fifth-rank scholar and is considered a high-ranking official. But in front of Her Royal Highness, he looks at his nose and mouth, just like an old Buddha in meditation.

He believed in his heart: Chen Liubai was young and energetic, so he would suffer a big loss.

The other person who could speak was Chen Weibin, but he only looked at her coldly and had no intention of speaking at all.

Therefore, Chen Jiagong could only ask his fourth uncle to come forward and take good care of Chen Liubai and not act out of anger.

The fourth uncle had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Leave it blank and tell me what you have to say."

Chen Liubai advised: "Fourth uncle, you have been working hard for a long time from last night to now. You should go home and have a good rest. There is no need to be in a dilemma here."

The fourth uncle's expression changed and he said anxiously: "Liu Bai, have you forgotten what I told you, that the overall situation is the most important thing?"

Chen Liubai asked, "What is the overall situation?" Chen Jiagong took a step forward and said meaningfully: "The overall situation is the safety of the Chen family, as well as the rise and fall of our Chen family."

Chen Liubai suddenly smiled: "So, isn't it for the overall good that I suppress evil?"

"That's fine...but now, Haosheng cooperates with Her Royal Highness the Princess' inquiry and investigation, and it is for the sake of the overall situation."

"Haha, I don't think there is anything left to investigate. The matter has been resolved and passed. The rest are all matters within the clan. There is no need for outsiders to intervene and point fingers."

Hou Huanian was furious: "How outrageous!"

His body flashed and he rushed over, his fingers spread wide, and he grabbed it head on.

Chen Liubai refused to dodge, his tongue exploded with spring thunder: "Get out!"

Inexplicably, Hou Huanian was horrified. He stopped his attack, took three steps back, and pressed the hilt of his sword with his backhand.

As a disciple of Baidi City, all he has learned throughout his life is mainly in swordsmanship. As for the martial arts of fists and kicks, they are much inferior.

Chen Liubai looked at him indifferently: "If I were you, I would never think of drawing the sword."

Facing those eyes, Hou Huanian felt a sense of fear that spread uncontrollably, making his whole body start to tremble slightly. The hand holding the sword hilt trembled especially violently, like a dead leaf in the cold wind:

"What's wrong with me?"

"Why don't I even dare to draw my sword?"

"I must pull it out..."

He tried hard to cheer himself up and muster up the courage.

But it only lasted for a moment. He yelled loudly, turned around and ran away as if to escape.

Everyone present was stunned when they saw it.

Such a change occurred, and within a short time, Hou Huanian was obviously aggressive and looked like he could take down Chen Liubai at any time, but in a blink of an eye, it became like this.

Chen Weibin suddenly stood up, pointed his finger, and said loudly: "You, what did you do to Senior Brother Hou?"

Chen Liubai said coldly: "I would like to ask you what you did? As a descendant of the Chen family, it is right to invite guests to come and watch the ceremony. What is wrong is that the guests take over the honor and allow outsiders to show off their power in the clan ancestral hall while being submissive and indifferent."

Chen Weibin argued: "What do you know? Besides, I don't need you to teach me how to do things."

"If you don't listen to what you say and don't change after hearing it, you should be taught! You should be beaten!"

After saying that, the figure instantly appeared in front of Chen Weibin, crackling, raising his hand and making two big mouths.

His left and right cheeks were swollen like a pig's head.

At this moment, the whole place was silent, and no one could react at all: This thing happened so crazy and beyond imagination.

Chen Weibin seemed to have been stunned, standing there like a goose, his eyes dull.

The proud son of the younger generation of the Chen family is like a weak and helpless child at this moment, being punished mercilessly by adults but not daring to resist at all.

First Hou Huanian behaved abnormally, and then Chen Weibin was beaten. There was a lot of movement, and soon the soldiers on guard around him were alerted, and they all ran towards him with a roar.

Chen Liubai looked at Zhao Geer.

The heart of the noble princess trembled, and she hurriedly yelled at her soldiers: "You must retreat quickly. You are not allowed to get even half a step closer without my order."

"Yes."

The soldiers obeyed the order and retreated immediately.

The whole scene suddenly became strange and silent.

And many Chen family figures, headed by Chen Jiagong, looked at each other at this moment, all dumbfounded.

　For the first time, it has reached the ninth place in the new book list. It must be updated. However, it has been extremely cold in Guangdong these days. My hands and feet are stiff, my head is numb, and I cannot write fast at all. I can only give it up and finish the basics. Just hold on tight, everyone, please be patient!
  　　Chinese New Year is coming soon, and a lot of people have been sick recently. I hope everyone is safe and happy, and take care of yourself!
