As the clan leader, Hong Shengtian's orders are the same as imperial edicts.
The elders of all major families gathered together, even the eldest elder of the Hong family came.
The status of the eldest elder of the Hong family is extraordinary. He is higher than the clan leader in terms of seniority.
On weekdays, if there is any major matter, the clan leader has to discuss it with the elder.
If the great elder objects, the clan leader will have to lose face.
The great elder's name was Hong Liang, and he also brought a junior brother with him. He was very young but very powerful.
Hong Liang has been practicing with a great monk since he was a child, so he is a well-known person in the sect.
The status of the other elders is not as high as that of the great elder.
In family affairs, these six elders will look up to the patriarch.
Hong Shengtian had a son named Hong Youwei, who came excitedly to attend the family meeting.
The leaders of the Hong family branches who live outside are arriving one after another.
Hongwu arrived with several important figures from this lineage.
When I saw the other branches, it was just their leaders who came, and only their branch came with a large army.
Hong Wu's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly felt something was not good.
They sat down one by one according to their respective positions. On the high platform, the great elder Hong Liang and the clan leader Hong Shengtian sat side by side.
Below are six family elders.
Further down, there are some important people in the main family.
At the bottom is the turn of the leaders of each branch.
Two rows of personal guards had already stood behind him, and their majestic aura made Hong Wu feel even more uncomfortable.
After some slogans, Hong Shengtian finally turned against the Hongwu lineage.
"Hongwu, Hongtian.
It seems like you are missing an important member behind you, right?
Where has Hong Xiuer gone?"
Hong Shengtian directly questioned him as soon as he came up.
Hong Wu and Hong Tian were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground.
"Lord Patriarch, Great Elder.
To be honest, Hong Xiuer's unfilial daughter has not joined us yet.
We don’t know where she is! Hong Tian knows this best, let him tell you!”
Hong Wu pushed Hong Tian beside him, eager to put all the blame on Hong Tian.
Hong Tian wiped a handful of cold sweat and stammered: "Master Patriarch, Great... Great Elder.
It’s a long story, Xiu’er was kidnapped, and I still don’t know where she is!”
Hong Tian had no choice but to say this in order to avoid disaster.
"Kidnapped?"
Chu Linhe smiled coldly, stood up and continued: "But last night, I saw with my own eyes that she was so majestic that she even hurt me."
"Ah..." Hong Wu and Hong Tian exclaimed and collapsed on the ground in fear.
"How is it possible that that unfilial girl really came to Hongjiabao?"
Hong Wu looked at Hong Tiandao.
"I don't know.
She never contacted us, and I thought she was dead."
Hong Tian felt a chill in his heart, fearing that his master would blame him.
"You really don't know that Hong Xiuer is in Hongjiabao?"
Hong Shengtian stared at Hong Tian and Hong Wudao.
"I really don't know."
Hong Wu and Hong Tian said the same thing.
"But, it is said that she is accompanied by a very powerful guard.
Didn't you hire the guard for her?"
Hong Shengtian could see that Hong Wu and Hong Tian were not lying.
"Guard?"
Hong Wu and Hong Tian looked at each other.
At the same time, he showed a horrified expression.
"Lord Patriarch, Great Elder.
I know who the guard is in your mouth.
That kid's name is Lin Xiaodong. He is a ruthless character, extremely powerful and domineering.
Don't take the world seriously.
Not long ago, he killed all the deputy leaders of the Eastern God Sect.
Now the Orthodox leader of the Eastern Divine Church is looking for traces of him everywhere.
Unexpectedly, he came to Hongjiabao.
By the way, that guy kidnapped my daughter."
Hong Tian immediately guessed that it was Lin Xiaodong and reported the truth.
Hong Shengtian and the Great Elder looked at each other with shocked expressions on their faces.
Those who dare to challenge the Eastern God Sect are not easy no matter how they look at it! "According to what you said.
He actually kidnapped your daughter, so why did he follow your woman to Hongjiabao?"
Chu Linhe couldn't figure it out, judging from his observation.
Lin Xiaodong seems to be very protective of Hong Xiuer, and he doesn't look like a kidnapper at all! "It's easy to understand, that kid is definitely fascinated by Hong Xiuer's beauty."
Hong Wu's serious approach.
But he was met with a blank stare.
"Let me tell you the reason.
Lin Xiaodong has an extremely weird personality.
Both good and evil, neither good nor evil.
That guy is my only person, and what he thinks is right is justice.
The things that make him feel faint are the evils that need to be defeated.
Whether it is right or wrong is entirely up to him to judge, and he will not be affected by any external factors..." "What do you want to express by saying so much?"
The vast path of no worries.
"What I want to express is that Lin Xiaodong does not act according to common sense.
We don't have to worry about why he did this.
He once saved my daughter's life, so in his heart, he may just feel that he has an obligation to protect my daughter."
Hong Tian had some understanding of Lin Xiaodong, and that was what he said.
"Then do you know?
Last night, Hong Xiuer and Lin Xiaodong not only injured me and a group of city guards, but also injured several distinguished guests attending the conference.
How do you plan to explain this matter to the clan leader and great elder?"
Chu Linhe snorted coldly and started to question.
"This has nothing to do with us. That kid can't be considered a member of our lineage!"
Hong Wu said with a sad face.
"Clan leader, great elder.
Based on my understanding of Lin Xiaodong.
As long as you don't actively provoke him, under normal circumstances, he will not cause trouble.
So..." Before Hong Tian could finish his words, Chu Linhe immediately shouted angrily: "What did you say?
You mean, I provoked him first?"
"I did not mean that.
I just want to tell you that Lin Xiaodong is not someone to be trifled with. We must stay calm and never provoke him."
Hong Tian has seen Lin Xiaodong's acting style, and he knows very well that provoking Lin Xiaodong will never end well.
"This is Hongjiabao. When did it become an outsider's turn to run wild?
No matter how crazy or powerful that kid is, can he still win against our entire Hong family?"
The person who stood up and spoke was Hong Shengtian's son, Hong Youwei.
This kid has no skills, but he always likes to be in the limelight.
"Are we still afraid of a mere brat?
If he dares to cause trouble, we can't let him go."
"The distinguished guests who came to the conference are all friends of our Hong family. If that kid beats him casually, wouldn't it be a joke if we just sit back and do nothing?"
"That kid must pay the price, otherwise where is the majesty of the Hong family?"
The Hong family disciples present immediately started a crusade against Lin Xiaodong.
Hong Tian's face was frightened and livid, his eyes were a little distracted, and he shouted in his heart that Hongjiabao's century-old reputation would probably be destroyed in the hands of these blind and arrogant guys.
