Lu Zhongfeng saw that everyone sitting below him was avoiding the glances he cast, but Lu Zhongyuan, who was the most important, was still sitting there with his eyes, nose, nose, and heart as usual, as if he was just here to listen, so he had no choice but to

He turned his attention to the four clan elders sitting on both sides of him.

Lu Zhongfeng's father passed away relatively early, and the four clan elders on both sides were his uncles.

The four clan elders' voices in the clan are second only to his, the clan leader. If they don't speak for him, then Lu Zhongfeng's situation will be very bad.

Lu Zhongfeng first looked at the three clan elders except Lu Wenyuan.

Lu Wenyuan has been retired for many years. He once served in Nanjiang Province, and his influence in society is no longer what it used to be. Moreover, his cultivation is also at the bottom among the four clan elders, and he is only at the fourth level of Cai Ling.

, has not been able to make a breakthrough (the family does not know about Lu Wenyuan's breakthrough yet), has no children, and his two daughters are developing abroad.

It can be said that Lu Wenyuan's current influence in society is not as good as before, but his influence in the family is also gradually weakening, and he is no longer much different from a nominal clan elder.

Therefore, although Lu Zhongfeng always respected this second uncle, he also knew that even if he was willing to speak for him about this matter, it would not affect the overall situation.

The key lies in the other three clan elders.

All three of them are at the sixth level of spiritual gathering, and one of them is still at the peak of the sixth level. The most important thing is that their children are all in charge of affairs in the family, and they are the elders who truly control the real power in the family.

"I think Zhong Lian is right. Our Lu family can be passed down for many years and prosper forever. We uphold the principle of superiority to the capable, giving way to the mediocre, and inferiority to the mediocre. Our Lu family is founded on Xuanmen magic.

, who is capable and mediocre, cultivation is naturally the most critical criterion. Zhong Lian is only thirty-eight years old this year and is already at the peak of the seventh level of spiritual gathering. He has great hope of entering the realm of Xuan Master. Once he steps into Xuan Master

If Zhong Lian becomes a master, then the status of our Lu family in Jintang Province will be different. Not only that, Zhong Lian studied under the master of the Chiyue Sect, and the master Xuan Qing was a Xuan master. Once Zhong Lian becomes the head of the family, our Lu family will be quite

Now we have a powerful ally." Seeing Lu Zhongfeng's gaze, a particularly thin-looking clan elder said.

This clan elder with an extraordinarily thin appearance is Lu Zhonglian’s uncle, named Lu Wenqi. He used to be the one with the highest cultivation level among the four clan elders. Of course, the one with the highest cultivation level now is Lu Wenyuan.

At present, only Lu Wenyuan himself knows it well.

When the other two clan elders who were about to speak saw Lu Wenqi speaking, their expressions changed slightly and they stopped talking, with a hint of hesitation in their eyes.

When Lu Zhongfeng saw this, his heart suddenly sank.

Among the four clan elders, Lu Wenqi, who has the highest cultivation level, has already made it clear that he will support his nephew to ascend to the throne. The other two clan elders are hesitant. However, the second uncle he has always respected the most has been retired for many years.

The daughter married into another country again, and her influence in the family was no longer what it used to be. Even if she spoke up to support her, it would not be of much use.

As a result, Lu Zhongfeng, as a parent, can only end up personally.

"Times have changed, and the standards for judging the capable and mediocre should also change accordingly. The Lu family has a great cause. Today, the prosperity of the Lu family is not only related to the lives of the Lu family, but also to many people in society.

Zhong Lian may have some talent in cultivation and good opportunities, but his ability to manage the family and run business is much inferior to Zhong Feng. With him as the head of the family and at the helm of the Lu family, the Lu family is now doing well in business.

I'm afraid the situation is going to go downhill, which will inevitably lead to the loss of jobs for the Lu family and many people in society. Therefore, I firmly oppose Zhong Lian becoming the head of the family." Just as Lu Zhongfeng was about to leave in person, he was considered by everyone to be affected.

Lu Wenyuan, whose strength was no longer as strong as before, spoke resolutely.

Lieutenant Governor Lu Zhongyuan, who was sitting upright and looking like he was just listening, gradually became a little more solemn when he heard this, and his eyes that were originally lowered were raised, revealing a look of serious thinking and hesitation.

"Second brother, what you said is wrong. Our Lu family founded our family on Xuanmen magic, so we should put it as our top priority. Over the years, the Lu family's achievements in Xuanmen magic have become lower and lower.

He is increasingly unworthy of the reputation that my ancestors of the Lu family have earned through hard work in the Taoist world of Jintang Prefecture. Because of this, Wenlin and I will try to find a way to get Zhong Lian to join the Xuanqing sect of the Red Moon Sect, in order to regain his reputation.

Zhong Lian has really lived up to our expectations. He has reached the peak of the seventh level of Cai Ling at the age of thirty-eight. With Zhong Lian's talent, he will definitely be able to become a Xuan master in the future.

Our Lu family will definitely be able to shock the Xuanmen world. Therefore, for the future of the Lu family, I think Zhong Feng should step down and give way to Zhong Lian." Lu Wenqi retorted.

The four clan elders are not real brothers. Among them, Lu Wenyuan is the second oldest and Lu Wenqi is the third oldest, so Lu Wenqi calls Lu Wenyuan the second brother.

The Wenlin mentioned by Lu Wenqi is Lu Zhonglian's father, the old man sitting in the first chair in the right column.

"I said, times have changed. In the past, the Lu family was indeed founded on Xuanmen magic. But now our Lu family can still firmly occupy a place in the Xuanmen world of Jintangzhou. No one dares to look down upon my Lu family, even the naked ones.

The reason why the head of the Xuanqing Sect of the Yue Sect, even though he is a Xuan Master, is willing to personally recruit Zhong and become a disciple is because our Lu family has strong wealth and power in the secular world."

"Don't forget, there are many powerful people in the Taoist world of Jintangzhou. But so what? Who dares to look down on people from my Lu family? So now the foundation of our Lu family is in the secular world. Once this foundation is gone,

, the status of our Lu family in the Xuanmen world will only decline."

"Of course, these are secondary. Xuanmen is weak and its influence on this society has become smaller and smaller. What's the point of fighting for a false reputation? The most important thing is that our Lu family's business involves hundreds of thousands or even more

The life problems of many families. Therefore, I think that since Zhong Lian has the talent for cultivation, let him focus on cultivation and shoulder the responsibility of teaching the children of the clan and introducing them to Taoism. There is no need to hold the position of the head of the family. The role of the head of the family

A position requires a comprehensive view of the overall situation. When we chose Zhongfeng to succeed his father as the head of the family, what we valued was his ability to control the overall situation. Moreover, he was loyal by nature, had a steady personality, and was even-tempered in doing things without being extreme.

This will allow our Lu family to move forward steadily and avoid going astray." Lu Wenyuan retorted again.

After all, Lu Wenyuan is the elder of the clan and was once the president of Nanjiang University. Even though his power in the family is gradually declining, his reputation is still there. Moreover, his words are well-founded, especially his last words. There is something in his words.

Refers to everyone's innermost feelings.

As the Lu family has developed to its current status, everyone actually wants stability and does not want to take a radical path.

Lu Zhongfeng and Lu Zhonglian, relatively speaking, the former has a more stable character, while the latter is relatively aggressive and competitive.

Of course, the Lu family was founded on Xuanmen magic. The cultivation of Xuanmen magic has always been a concern of the clan. Lu Zhonglian is only thirty-eight years old and is already at the peak of the seventh level of spiritual gathering. He is expected to be a Xuan master, but let him

Many people get excited and yearn for it just thinking about it.

Therefore, even if Lu Wenyuan argued hard, he could not completely resolve the knot of people's longing for Xuanmen magic.

Seeing that many clan members had been shocked by his strength and the influence of his lineage in the family, they had already kept silent. Even the two clan elders chose to think silently, but now they are so exposed by Lu Wenyuan.

After some words, the thoughts of the clan members began to waver and become active. Even Deputy Governor Lu Zhongyuan, who had always maintained a neutral attitude and did not express any opinions, raised his eyes and looked at Lu Wenyuan with a hint of approval. Lu Zhonglian could not help but smile slightly.

Change, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, knowing that he could not let Lu Wenyuan be bewitched any longer.

"Huh, second uncle, you said that times have changed and cannot be measured by Taoist magic alone. I agree. You said that Lu Zhongfeng has control over the overall situation and can lead the Lu family to move forward steadily. I also agree. But Lu Zhongfeng

What Feng can do, I can do better."

"In terms of Xuanmen magic, I am at the peak of the seventh level of spiritual gathering, which is much higher than him. This allows our Lu family to truly occupy a place in Jintangzhou. In terms of business, Chiyue Sect also has a lot of reputation in the secular world.

Although I have little property, several of my senior brothers have considerable wealth and power in the world. Once I take the position of the head of the family, I can cooperate with them to lead the Lu family to move forward more steadily and faster."

"In addition, my nephew also has something to say, and I won't be happy if I don't say it. My second uncle has been retired for many years and has been living in Nanjiang Prefecture. He basically doesn't care about family affairs. Your two daughters have married away from other countries. It is no longer possible to inherit my Lu family's property.

, and your cultivation level is also low. If you were not older, and you were the president of Nanjiang University and had a high reputation, you would not be able to take the position of the elder of the clan. Now you are already in your seventies, second uncle, you

In fact, we should abdicate in favor of others and enjoy peace and happiness in Nanjiang Prefecture." Lu Zhonglian said.

Anyway, Lu Wenyuan had already expressed his firm opposition to him, so Lu Zhonglian became furious and thought of pulling him down as well.

As soon as Lu Zhonglian said these words, the whole conference room immediately became commotion. Vice Governor Lu Zhongyuan frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure on his face. Several old men who were older and in power looked at Lu Wenyuan's buttocks.

The sandalwood chair in front of me, my eyes are hot, and my heart is ready to move.

Once you take the position of clan elder, you will have the power to mobilize hundreds of millions of funds at will. This power alone makes many people irresistible, not to mention that you also have great power to make decisions on personnel matters for the clan members.

It can be said that once they take the position of clan elders, they can arrange better positions for their children and descendants and obtain greater benefits.

"Lu Zhonglin, you are so presumptuous! The second uncle is a hero of the family and has devoted a lot of effort to the development of the family. How can you slander him like this? Apologize to the second uncle immediately!" Lu Zhongfeng, who had never spoken, started to slap the case with anger on his face.

.

"Lu Zhongfeng, why are you angry? I'm just telling the truth! The Lu family has a big business. If we want to develop, how can we just support idle people? Let alone such an important position as the clan leader!" Lu Zhonglian said tit for tat, with his body
