It's a pity that his shouting had no effect at all. The figure of the ninth elder has long since disappeared!
He paused for a moment, hesitating slightly whether he should follow or follow what the Ninth Elder said and just wait here!
After a while, he decided to follow the instructions of their master Zeng and follow the footsteps of the ninth elder!
When he was walking here, the ninth elder over there had already arrived outside the retreat room of the thirteenth elder. After arriving here, the ninth elder went directly in.
The Thirteenth Elder has already made tea and is waiting for the Ninth Elder!
He was not surprised to see the Ninth Elder come in by himself. In his impression, the Ninth Elder was not a rule-abiding person to begin with!
He wants to have the Ninth Elder lead the Ninth Elder into the retreat room, but will the Ninth Elder agree?
Obviously, the Ninth Elder would not agree at all.
The reason why someone brought him here was just a routine process. The process that should exist must still exist here.
If there is no such process, it means that his etiquette here is not good!
With this process in place, the Ninth Elder has nothing to say here.
When the Ninth Elder saw this scene, he smiled slightly and said softly:
"Thirteen, your tea looks pretty good!"
"That's right, let's not see who's coming... Lao Jiu, why do you have time to come to my place today?! Is there something wrong!?"
"Look what you said! Why, can't I come if I don't have something to do?!"
The Ninth Elder was not under too much pressure. He spoke more casually than when he first met the other elders. There was still time to joke with him here.
The Thirteenth Elder smiled bitterly and said repeatedly:
"Yes, of course! You can come over at any time as long as you want! Come on, let's talk about it first. Since you have nothing to do here today, we will just drink tea and not talk about anything. If you come later,
If you tell me one or two more things, I won’t accept it, okay?!”
"Don't!"
The Ninth Elder knows the personality of the Thirteenth Elder, and always talks about it.
He said we won’t talk about things here, and if we don’t refute now, there will be no chance to refute later!
The Ninth Elder did not dare to joke with him on such a big matter, so he quickly said here:
"Thirteen, I came here today to ask you for help with a small matter!"
"Is that what I said?! If you have something to do, just say you have something to do. What other things can you say?!"
The Thirteenth Elder said without hesitation:
"Tell me about it, let me see if I can do it, if I can do it!"
The Thirteenth Elder neither denies nor affirms here. He just wants to act according to his own judgment. If he judges this matter here and he cannot do it at all, then no matter what others say, it will have no effect at all.
If he were to judge this matter here and he could do it, he wouldn’t need anyone else to say anything?!
He can definitely do it here.
Independent.
Rely entirely on your own judgment and not be influenced by others.
One is one, two is two.
The ninth elder was not polite and said seriously:
"Thirteen, it's like this. You know that I don't have much life now. When my life span was insufficient, I also thought of various methods, and finally I found one of the reliable methods. Then
It means that people who are related to me by blood believe in me, and I can use the power of their faith to increase my longevity. Can you do me a favor and believe in me here?!"
"Belief?!"
The thirteenth elder frowned and said directly:
"I'm sorry, Lao Jiu, I can't help with this matter. The power of faith is different from others. I heard that there are mysterious figures who can directly engrave restrictions on mental power or even the soul through faith. Once the engraving is successful, then it will be
I can no longer escape the restriction of the other party. I will only serve as a servant to the other party in this life. What did the other party say?! That’s what?! I don’t have the slightest ability to resist."
When he said this, when the ninth elder opened his mouth to say something, the thirteenth elder quickly said:
"Don't say that your current belief has not reached this point! Even if you have not reached this point yet, I cannot judge whether you will reach this point in the future. As long as you have this possibility, then I'm sorry, I
I cannot agree to your request because I am responsible for myself! I did not become an immortal cultivator just to let others control me!"
"Please Laojiu understand!"
"Lao Jiu, do you have anything else to do? If not, just put this matter aside and let's drink tea together here."
Seeing that the Thirteenth Elder had no room for discussion, the Ninth Elder smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:
"No more, that's all I have to do!"
After the Ninth Elder took a sip of tea here, he said softly:
"Thirteen, you are still so straightforward. Let me make another request. At the elders' meeting three days later, the head of the family will ask everyone for their opinions on this matter. I know that you yourself do not want to be my believer, and please do not speak out against it.
How about other people becoming my followers?!"
"certainly!"
The thirteenth elder agreed immediately.
"I only represent myself. Whether other people become your believers is their business and I have no control over it. However, the same goes for my direct descendants. You have to give them the right to choose. If they want to become
I won’t stop your followers, but if they don’t want to become your followers, you can’t force them here, okay?!”
Having said that, it was naturally impossible for the Ninth Elder to object here. He could only nodded and said:
"Okay, just do as you say. If they want to become my believers, let them become my believers. If they don't want to, I won't force them here."
With the Ninth Elder's words, the Thirteenth Elder was completely relieved.
Similarly, the Ninth Elder has somewhat completed its mission.
Even if you have not completed the highest level goal here, you have only completed the minimum goal.
The Thirteen Elders will not cause trouble in elders meetings.
Not causing trouble is the greatest help to him.
When the ninth elder came to persuade these people, he divided them into two goals. The basic goal was to prevent them from causing trouble at the elders' meeting.
The highest goal is for them to become the master's believers like himself. As long as they all become the master's believers, it will be much more convenient for him.
convenient!
This is the only standard!
Now with the Thirteenth Elder, the minimum goal has been achieved.
After he drank a few more sips of tea, he no longer planned to stay here any longer.
"Thirteen, the tea is good. I'll drink it next time!"
After the Ninth Elder drank tea here, he had almost said what he needed to say, and he did not intend to continue talking to him here, so he stood up and left!
The Thirteenth Elder had no intention of retaining him, so he immediately said here:
"Lao Jiu, walk slowly. We will meet again next time when we have a chance."
"gone!"
The ninth elder came out from the side of the thirteenth elder and continued to come towards the direction of the fourteenth elder.
After arriving outside the courtyard of the Fourteenth Elder, he knocked on the door and waited for Tong Bing to open the door for him. Not long after, Tong Bing, a member of the family, opened the door and looked at him and said:
"Ninth Uncle, what's the matter with you?!"
"I'm looking for Old Fourteen."
As he spoke, the ninth elder was ready to rush inside.
The disciple stopped the Ninth Elder here.
"Ninth Uncle, wait!"
"Our Master Zeng said that he is currently at a critical moment in his cultivation and will not see anyone else. If anything happens, we will wait until the elders meeting to discuss it!"
This sentence made the Ninth Elder stop in his tracks.
not see?!
If the number of his ten elders had not been fully gathered here, he would definitely not let it go. Even if he wanted to offend the other party, he would go in and see what the other party was doing now.
But it's different now.
He has already exceeded his quota of ten places, and even if the other party doesn't see him, it won't affect the overall situation.
Now there is no need to take the risk of offending the other party.
Since the other party has said that he doesn’t want to see him here, he should wait until he is gone before talking!
"Okay! Let's talk about it at the elders' meeting!"
The ninth elder did not insist here, which made this disciple feel relieved. After all, he was facing a family elder level existence. If you say that he is not nervous here now, that is a lie!
He didn't want to face them either.
If one of them gets angry here, just give him a blow. Not only the sect, but even their Master Zeng will not take action directly with the Ninth Elder because of this.
Besides, even if Master Zeng really takes action directly, it doesn't mean anything to him.
Everyone else has passed away here.
So what if we do it!?
He definitely doesn't want to die here if he can live.
This time, he felt a lot more relaxed here. At least the Ninth Elder did not intend to take his life and allowed him to continue to live here.
This is already the best news for him.
If the Ninth Elder wanted to take his life, there was nothing he could do!
"call!"
He took a breath and said quickly:
"Thank you, Ninth Uncle, for your understanding. I will go back and report it to Master Zeng!"
The Fourteenth Elder did not see him, so there was only the last one left among the elders in that family, the Sixteenth Elder!
The Ninth Elder did not hesitate in his footsteps, and continued to think about the direction of the Sixteenth Elder. The relationship between the Sixteenth Elder and him in the family was truly neither salt nor water!
At most, it's just a relationship of nodding when we meet.
Apart from this, the two of them usually did not have any more in-depth communication.
After meeting, it is as if we have not met at all!
I want him to help me...
This thing really may not be possible!
But no matter whether he can succeed or not, he still has to give it a try here.
If it doesn't work, forget it.
What if we really succeed here?!
Then didn’t he make money right here?!
If it can be done, no one will want to fail.
These people also had the same attitude. In view of this, the Ninth Elder walked a little faster, came to the courtyard of the Sixteenth Elder, and knocked on the door.
The descendant of the Sixteenth Elder opened the door and saw that it was the Ninth Elder, and said directly:
"Uncle Ninth, our Master Zeng has heard about the fact that you are looking for people to become believers everywhere. He asked me to tell you that he does not want to become anyone's believer, and he will not interfere with others becoming your believers. You are here
At the elders' meeting, you can rest assured that he will not agree or object to it. Do you have anything else?!"
"there is none left!"
The ninth elder nodded, indicating that he understood.
The Sixteenth Elder also made it clear enough here, what other questions does he have?!
What else could be wrong?!
Even if there were any problems, they are gone now.
"I have already paid my respects to all the elders in the family!"
The Ninth Elder also clicked on his achievements here!
The Great Elder, Third Elder, Fifth Elder, Sixth Elder, Seventh Elder, Eighth Elder, including his own Ninth Elder, Twelfth Elder, Fifteenth Elder, Seventeenth Elder, Eighteenth Elder and Twentyth Elder all agreed.
The second elder, the thirteenth elder, and the sixteenth elder do not support or oppose it.
The fourth elder didn't care about this matter at all.
The ten elders objected.
The Nineteenth Elder, the Eighth Elder, and the Eleventh Elder are not in the family and have not met each other.
After such a calculation, the results this time are indeed relatively significant, and the only one who really explicitly opposed it here was only one of the ten elders!
"hey-hey!"
"It's okay if there are other people who object. Just an old man, he can't accomplish anything here!"
"I can wait for the family meeting next!"
"It's best to let the other members of the family who have not become the master's followers rely on my jade pendant to become the master's followers at the family meeting, so that when they recruit other disciples in the future, I can also get corresponding benefits.
!”
The Ninth Elder is also happily planning here!
He also knows that the most critical step left before the entire family can truly become believers of the master is to make the head of the family become a believer of the master.
As long as the head of the family becomes the master's believer here, there is nothing more to say!
Even if other people are worried, they will still obey the orders of the family leader.
The head of the family and most of the elders have reached an agreement, but you still haven’t implemented it, what do you mean?!
Do you want to betray your family?
What they now represent is the strength of the entire family.
After reaching this point, he didn’t need to say anything more?!
The entire family will become Lin Ming's followers, and everyone will see Lin Ming here as their only belief.
The Ninth Elder is also looking forward to this day more than others!
"Okay, I've been busy all day, I can go back and take a rest first."
