Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 126 Zheng Yong's persistence, acting clan leader [Subscription required]

Zhou Daoyi was worried about how to find a legitimate reason to let Zhou Chun stay in the family to practice in peace and wait for the foundation to be established.

At this time, Zhou Zhengyong suddenly stood up and said that he was willing to replace Zhou Chun to go to Yunzhou. How could he not be happy.

At the same time, he also knew that with Zhou Chun's personality, he would definitely refuse at the beginning, and he would definitely refuse.

That's why he quickly interrupted Zhou Chun before he could refuse and made the decision.

Although Zhou Zhengyong is also a relatively outstanding member of the younger generation of the Zhou family, he is undoubtedly far behind Zhou Chun.

As the patriarch of the clan, Zhou Daoyi felt that his decision was worthy of his status and responsibilities.

And seeing that he, as the clan leader, had already decided the matter on the spot.

Zhou Chun, whose words were interrupted by him, opened his mouth, but ultimately did not say anything against it.

It is not impossible to question the decision of the clan leader in person, but it must be done by an elder-level clan member.

Otherwise, anyone can question the patriarch's decision, so where is the patriarch's prestige?
Moreover, even a blind man could see that both Zhou Zhengyong and clan leader Zhou Daoyi were doing all these to help Zhou Chun.

If he still stood up and opposed it directly at this time, he would certainly save his own reputation, but it would inevitably hurt the face and feelings of the clan leader Zhou Daoyi.

So this matter can only be settled like this!

After everyone had dispersed, Zhou Chun found Zhou Zhengyong alone.

"Brother Yong, you are confused!"

"I know your good intentions, but you also have to consider yourself, your sister-in-law, and your nephew!"

"How can you make such a big decision on your own without consulting your sister-in-law?"

"If anything happens to you, how will I face my sister-in-law and nephew in the future?"

In the room where the two of them were alone, Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Zhengyong with an excited tone and spoke repeatedly, his expression very excited.

He knew Zhou Zhengyong's good intentions, but he really didn't want to accept such kindness!

In Zhou Chun's eyes, with his cultivation strength, he felt that saving his life would not be a problem even if he went to Yunzhou, so he didn't need anyone to go for him.

On the contrary, if Zhou Zhengyong went in his place, he might get injured, disabled, or even die.

Then he will really feel guilty for the rest of his life and owe a huge favor to that person!

This made him unexcited.

However, facing Zhou Chun's excited speech, Zhou Zhengyong said with a serious face: "Thirteenth brother, you are wrong. I am not confused!"

"I have always received a lot of help from you, Thirteenth Brother. Without your help, I would not have married a wife as beautiful as Yujiao, and I would not have Lan'er!"

"Yu Jiao often tells me that your cultivation is improving too fast. My husband and I owe you a favor, but I'm afraid we won't have the chance to repay it again!"

"Now, it's good. God has given me a chance to do something for you, to repay your favor. Even if Yujiao knew about this, she would agree!"

At this point, he looked at Zhou Chun with emotion and said, "I know what you are worried about, but please consider me. You are not the only one who doesn't want to owe a favor. I am not the kind of person who can be at ease and not think about repaying the favor after receiving it from others!"

"Brother Yong, you..."

When Zhou Chun heard this, he opened his mouth speechless, not knowing what to say.

Yes, Zhou Zhengyong is not stupid and he knows what he is worried about.

However, as a monk with moral conscience, Zhou Zhengyong also has his own persistence and ideas.

How could he force others to violate their moral conscience just because of his own concerns!
Seeing him silent at this time, Zhou Zhengyong also knew that his words had taken effect, so he waved his hand and said, "Thirteenth brother, you don't need to say more. The family has already made a decision on this matter and it cannot be changed."

"Besides, I am only going to fight on your behalf. I am not going to fight a life-and-death battle. Why should we be so pessimistic?"

"Let's take a step back and say that even if something really happened to me this time, it was destined to happen. I don't blame anyone else!"

Hearing what he said, Zhou Chun could only smile bitterly.

Don't blame anyone, this is something only he, the person involved, can say so easily.

If something really happened to him, not to mention what Sun Yujiao and her son would think, the other members of the Zhou family would probably also watch how Zhou Chun performed in the future.

But now that things have come to this, there is really no point in saying anything more.

Everyone has their own persistence, things that they care about and insist on.

At the moment, he could only nod helplessly and said, "Okay, since you know everything, Brother Yong, then I won't say much. But Brother Yong, you must accept these things, otherwise I will definitely not agree!"

As he spoke, he patted the storage bag on his waist and took out two first-grade top-quality magic weapons, one for attack and one for defense, as well as a dozen first-grade top-quality magic talismans.

Since there was no way to stop Zhou Zhengyong from going into battle on his behalf, Zhou Chun could only arm and strengthen his strength as much as possible.

If his Geochelone had not yet evolved to the level of the Vulcan Jackal that could understand human language, Zhou Chun would definitely have asked Zhou Zhengyong to bring the Geochelone along as well.

When faced with the things Zhou Chun took out, Zhou Zhengyong tried to refuse them, but then he realized he couldn't refuse, so he accepted them.

Two days later, the fourteen cultivators of the Zhou family who had decided to go on the expedition to Yunzhou left Jiufeng Ridge with the clan leader Zhou Daoyi and headed towards Yunzhou.

Before leaving, after bidding farewell to his wife and children who came to see him off, Zhou Zhengyong whispered to Zhou Chun: "Thirteenth brother, I am leaving. If anything happens to me, I will trouble you to take care of Lan'er in the future. Help Yujiao raise him to adulthood!"

When Zhou Chun heard what he said, his heart sank and he thought of something bad.

So he quickly said seriously: "Brother Yong, don't think like that, you must come back intact to take care of them!"

After that, he also whispered a promise: "Don't worry, as long as I am still in the clan, I will never let my sister-in-law and nephew be bullied!"

"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved!"

Zhou Zhengyong nodded with satisfaction and left with complete peace of mind.

This time, because Zhou Chun stayed in the family, after the patriarch Zhou Daoyi left, he handed over all the family affairs to him to handle and appointed him as the acting patriarch in advance.

This is also the last test for him!
If he could do a good job as the acting clan leader this time, then after he successfully built his foundation, Zhou Daoyi could retreat to the second line and focus on improving his cultivation and impacting the Purple Palace. Zhou Chun also knew this very well, so after taking over the position of acting clan leader, he worked diligently and cautiously, and did not dare to slack off.

This is different from his previous job as the clan leader's clerk.

Although the clerk also participates in the handling of clan affairs, most of them only handle minor matters, or matters that have fixed handling methods.

As for the acting clan leader, except for the word "acting" indicating that it is not permanent, the rest of the powers and responsibilities are the same as those of the clan leader.

This means that some major diplomatic issues involving other forces will also be decided by him.

If this matter is not done well, it will be a waste of effort and will lead to a big mistake.

So he had no choice but to be cautious.

"My dear nephew Zhengchun, a fellow from the He family who is on good terms with me has recently come to visit me. He said that he had discovered a treasure land guarded by a large group of poisonous bees and monsters, and wanted to ask me to go over and help. Do you think you can allow me to go out for half a month?"

On this day, Zhou Chun was working in Zhongping Hall when a family elder came to ask for a meeting and stated his purpose.

After hearing the other party's intention, he immediately recalled the relevant information about this elder in his mind, and then quickly came up with an idea.

He immediately said, "Uncle Twenty-Third, you are now an elite member of the family. According to the rules, you can go out for two months a year for personal reasons. If you go out for half a month this time, then you will only have less than ten days left to go out this year."

Upon hearing this, the visitor immediately responded, "I am naturally clear about this, nephew, do you agree?"

"Well, Uncle Twenty-Three, you can go without worry, but you must pay more attention to your own safety."

Zhou Chun nodded and immediately issued a release document, asking him to take it to the monks guarding the entrance and exit of the mountain gate for inspection.

According to Zhou family rules, except for the clan leader and elders, other clan members, whether they need to leave the mountain for personal or official reasons, must come to the clan leader in advance to explain the situation and issue a release document.

Otherwise, not only will the monk who goes out without permission be severely punished, but the clan members who let him leave will also be guilty of the same crime.

This is a must. Without this rule, sometimes tribesmen would go missing and we would have no idea where they went or how they disappeared.

Moreover, by doing so, the authority of the patriarch can be reflected.

Just like now, Zhou Chun, as the acting clan leader, holds such power that no matter which elder comes to see him, he has to be polite and dare not put on airs.

Otherwise, he could have prevented her from leaving the family.

You have to know that the so-called regulations on going out time are just normal regulations, just like he should have two days off on weekends in his previous life.

But in fact, the clan leader can use the excuse that the family is short of manpower and security defense requires a large number of manpower to detain people and not let them leave the family.

Or if you want to be away for ten days, but I only approve three days for you, and you don't come back after the deadline, you will be treated as absentee. The lighter punishment may be a fine of double the time you were away, and the heavier punishment may be a deduction of one year's welfare allowance.

Therefore, unless you become a family elder, as a family cultivator, you can offend anyone but not the clan leader!
Issuing documents for clan members to leave the mountain gate is just one of the clan leader's daily duties. He also has to listen to reports from the various peaks and halls below on their various livelihoods.

For example, what kind of elixir is Baiyao Peak planning to refine recently, how many spiritual herbs are needed, how many pills are expected to be produced, and what missing auxiliary materials the family needs to help search and purchase.

For example, if a certain monster in the beast garden has given birth to a new cub, the tribe can see if there is a member willing to make a contract with it, or if a monster dies unexpectedly, they can see how it died.

For example, how many independent cultivators are received by the training room every ten days, how much income is there, how many independent cultivators want to guard the "Jingling Pavilion" for the Zhou family as a form of work to pay off their debts, etc.

As the patriarch, you must understand and be aware of all these various matters, big and small.

According to Zhou Chun's personal experience, the patriarch in the family is like the cabinet of an entire feudal dynasty. He must understand all aspects of the matter clearly and cannot make any major mistakes.

Therefore, a large area inside the Zhongping Hall is used to store various documents and materials, so that the clan leader can check and compare them in time.

Of course, a family has a limited population and limited industries. Even if the patriarch needs to take care of so many things alone, he will be able to handle it all. He just feels a little busy.

But Zhou Chun felt that it was unnecessary to let the clan leader take care of all these matters. It was a complete waste of the clan leader's time and would make many clan members who wanted to be in charge lose their sense of participation, making it impossible to train more managers.

Especially as the Zhou family grows bigger, with more people and industries, there will be more and more things involved. It will be difficult for the patriarch to manage all these things alone.

So after serving as the acting patriarch for half a month, he began to have the idea of ​​reforming the system.

However, he was only thinking about this reform idea now. He would definitely not implement it immediately, and he would not even speak it out in a hurry.

If he really wants to make drastic reforms to the family structure, he must wait until he has successfully established his foundation and truly takes over the position of patriarch from Zhou Daoyi.

Now, I just need to think more about what needs to be changed and what does not need to be changed.

There is no need to worry too much about these.

The knowledge accumulated in his previous life can ensure that the reforms he makes in this area will not go wrong.

However, what Zhou Chun did not expect was that just fifty days after he took over the position of acting clan leader, a big troublesome incident befell him.

It turned out that on this day, a piece of news quickly spread to all the immortal cultivation families in Lanzhou.

That was a notice from Qinglian Temple, saying that at least one guardian of the Hualong Sect had sneaked into Lanzhou and Lingzhou with several missionaries and many Hualong Sect followers, intending to harass and destroy the rear and undermine the morale of the monks in the two places deep on the front line of Yunzhou.

Because no one knows how long this group of people from the Hualong Sect have infiltrated Lanzhou, nor does anyone know how many people there are.

Qinglian Temple could only notify all the immortal cultivation families in Lanzhou to be on high alert and reduce outdoor activities to avoid being attacked by the enemy.

But this notice sounds simple, but it is actually not easy to do.

Now, because they have received a large number of cultivators who have fled from Yunzhou, all the immortal cultivation families in Lanzhou have made a lot of war wealth.

If we stop going out and close the mountain to defend ourselves at this time, the losses will be great.

The key point is that Lanzhou is not the war front line now, and the enemy only has a small force.

If all the immortal cultivation families in the state were to close off their mountains and defend themselves because of the infiltration of this enemy detachment, it would easily lead to a situation of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and would also make the detachment of the Dragon Transformation Sect very happy.

But if they don't seal off the mountain and defend themselves, no one can guarantee that their family will not become the target of attack by the infiltrating Hualong Sect's troops.

"Now that the clan leader is away, I am acting as the clan leader. Today, I would like to invite all the elders to come and discuss this matter. I would like to hear your opinions and then ask the Supreme Elder to make the final decision!"

In Zhongping Hall, Zhou Chun, knowing that the matter was serious, immediately summoned the three elders of the family to discuss the matter.
