first evil king

Chapter 397 Before the Clan Meeting (1)
What will happen in this clan meeting?
Nangong Zhiming perched high beside the cliff of Longyan Mountain, looking at the vast land under his feet, his face was calm, but his heart was full of huge waves.

Ten years ago today, his eldest brother left in a tragic way, and he was powerless, not even able to say a word of intercession.

Angry father, indifferent relatives, crying niece, desperate sister-in-law...

Faces came one after another, how many times he dreamed back in the middle of the night, he woke up startled in the dream, but even in the dream, he was just powerless, he didn't believe, he didn't believe that his most beloved elder brother would meet with Demons colluded, he didn't believe that his eldest brother would do things that would endanger the family, and he didn't believe that his sister-in-law was the one who made his elder brother go astray. However, his disbelief only dared to say to himself in his heart, even in his dream, he didn't dare Speaking out, the legal will of the Patriarch cannot be violated.

"Second brother, are you thinking about big brother?" A cold voice interrupted Nangong Zhiming's memory.

Without looking back, just listening to the voice, he knew it was his third younger brother, Nangong Zhitao, who was the fifth eldest among his peers, so Nangong Zhiming just twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Zhitao, isn't the second brother very useless?" ?”

"If the second brother is useless, then the third brother is even more useless. For many years, he has been stagnant in the late stage of alchemy, and has been left far behind by the younger generations in the clan." Nangong Zhitao's voice was full of self-deprecating, Walking slowly to Nangong Ming's side, there was an ugly smile on his face similar to Nangong Zhiming's. Thinking of his father's more and more ignoring eyes and the people's sarcasm, he still couldn't really laugh.

"Zhitao." Nangong Zhiming didn't know what to do after hearing this, so he could only pat him on the shoulder comfortingly. Within the family, although the ranks are strict, the cultivation of ability is more important. Even if Zhitao is a direct bloodline, such cultivation has almost no place in the inner clan. I am afraid that he has already been forced out of the inner clan, and the fact that fathers rely on daughters is another pain in his heart.

"Second brother, I'm fine." Nangong Zhitao tried his best to give Nangong Zhiming a nice smile, then turned the conversation into a serious one and said, "But second brother, the struggle within the clan has now surfaced Are you still going to continue to be a spectator who doesn't care about the world? If my prediction is not bad, at this clan meeting, they will definitely let the Patriarch choose an heir."

Although his second brother Nangong Zhiming's aptitude is not as good as his elder brother Nangong Zhihao's, he is still at the top of the clan, and because he is a direct descendant, his treatment is naturally the best. Unfortunately, in his own words, it is He has no ambitions, and has never been keen on practicing martial arts since he was a child. He only loves to imitate the arty of ordinary people.

However, he was born in the Five Elements family, and he was born in a direct line of blood. It is destined that he will never be able to live the life he wants to live in this life, just like the prince who was born in the Emperor's family. He can realize his wish, but the most helpless thing in this world is that there is no word "if".

Now only the second brother and himself are left in their direct line. He is a "useless person". No matter how strong his daughter is, he is still just a junior. Even if this department is over, he can't imagine the consequences.

Seeing that Nangong Zhiming did not respond after hearing his words, Nangong Zhitao showed anxiety on his usual indifferent face: "Second brother, they have done a lot of things in secret these years, if they really want to decide on an heir today, they will definitely There will be some fights, although the second brother seldom cares about the affairs of the inner clan, but if seniority is considered within the clan, the second brother will be the number one candidate..."

This time Nangong Zhitao hadn't finished speaking, Nangong Zhiming interrupted him, slightly dissatisfied: "What is Zhitao talking about, the first pick will always be the elder brother's line." A month ago, even if he didn't want to, he would take on this responsibility, but now it's different.

"But brother's line already..." Nangong Zhitao was about to say something, but when he raised his head, he bumped into Nangong Zhiming's smiling face, and stopped immediately. A thought flashed in his mind, his eyes flashed, and he cried Said: "Second brother refers to Jun Xie's niece."

After receiving Nangong Zhiming's nod, Nangong Zhitao seemed to be a little bit stunned and said, "Second brother, is the news from Tianyan City true? The Jun Wuming who won the Xuanyuan Excalibur back then was Jun Xie's niece, and When Tianyan City was besieged that day, she almost killed the eight ghosts with her own strength?" Jun Xie was still alive, and it was Jun Wuming's news that spread to the clan as soon as the siege of Tianyan City was lifted. So far, he still deeply remembers what a spectacular sight it was when the thunder fell in the clan. Up to now, there are still a large number of people in the clan who do not believe this absurd news, and he is one of them. One, so I have always wanted to ask his second brother, the person who knows the truth best, and now hearing this, is it true.

"Yes." Nangong Zhiming said yes with pride, completely baffled Nangong Zhitao, but he soon came back to his senses, with an uncontrollable smile on his face, and tightly grasped Nangong Zhiming's hand. There was even water mist flooding the arms and eye sockets, and he said incoherently: "Brother, there are successors, and there are successors, haha, niece Jun Xie is not dead but still alive, and she hasn't lost her father's face..."

Seeing his always cold-faced younger brother lose his composure, Nangong Zhiming's heart warmed up. He had promised Jun Xie not to reveal her identity, but during the battle of Tianyan City, other clansmen in Nangong Mansion saw her with their own eyes. Even if he wanted to cover up his appearance, he couldn't cover it even if he showed his true face in such a high-profile way, even if he could stop the people of Tianyan Nangong Mansion from reporting to the inner clan, he couldn't stop the inner clan from knowing the truth.

But fortunately, Jun Xie's current cultivation base is already unpredictable, and she is also somewhat famous in the cultivation world, so there is no need to worry that the inner clan will be unfavorable to her, and no matter how the clan fights, at least the love between the three brothers is true He doesn't fight, but if anyone dares to covet what his niece deserves, don't blame him for not caring about family affection. Although his third brother's cultivation base is low, his lineage is not easy to mess with.
