Shangguan Bo was silent and looked at Shangguan Hong with a deep expression. The latter was also silent, his eyes gleaming as if he was weighing something.
"Even if the Great Elder doesn't ask, I, as my niece, will still make it clear to you."
Shangguan Tong smiled coldly and emphasized the word "niece" very hard, which obviously meant a lot.
Shangguan Tu raised his eyes slightly, then sneered on his face and didn't take it seriously.
He was just secretly shocked, and at the same time very confused. According to the silver-robed old woman, these people should have died in the wilderness long ago. How come they are still alive?
Could it be that the old woman in silver robe was lying to him?
However, there were only Shangguan Bo, Shangguan Tong and Shangguan Fei in front of them, but the sixth elder Shangguan Yu and the other junior Shangguan Chen were missing. What was going on?
Thoughts surged in his mind, and Shangguan Tu suddenly realized that what the silver-robed old woman said might not be false, or that something else might have happened at that time.
Shangguan Tong said solemnly: "When we went into the mountains to collect herbs, we were attacked by strong men. Uncle Liu and Brother Chen... unfortunately died in order to protect us!"
"What?" Shangguan Tu's face darkened, with a look of shock on his face!
But he nodded secretly in his heart, secretly thinking that this is the case.
What the silver-robed old woman said was indeed true, but according to her, all five of them should have perished. How come there are still three survivors?
"Who is it that dares to provoke my Shangguan family like this? Lao Wu, Tong'er, do you know their identities?"
Shangguan Tu sneered secretly in his heart, but pretended to be angry, with a murderous look on his face, and asked in a deep voice.
Shangguan Bo was silent, while Shangguan Tong looked directly at the great elder and said coldly: "On the surface, they are just a group of villains, but in fact..."
"What's the actual situation?" Shangguan Tu's face darkened.
"Actually, their background is not a secret. It's just that the Great Elder is so concerned. Does he want to avenge the Fifth Elder and Brother Chen?"
Shangguan Tong asked with a sneer.
She really didn't have any good impression of this great elder, and even regarded him as an enemy.
It was this person who pushed hard for her marriage with the third son of the Jing family, and even put on a high-sounding pretense of "putting family interests first," making it difficult for Shangguan Hong to refuse.
On the surface, it seems that he united with the Jing family to fight against the pressure of the Chang family, and it was indeed for the benefit of the family, and many clan members even praised him privately.
In fact, anyone who understands the situation understands that the Great Elder's ambitions go far beyond that.
His real goal is to kick out the current head of the family, Shangguan Hong, and take control of the family power alone!
"Revenge? Haha, no matter who the other party is, daring to do this is a provocation to the entire family. When it comes to revenge, of course it is up to the head of the family to arrange it."
Shangguan Tu shook his head, smiled, and blocked Shangguan Tong's questioning with an understatement.
With his sophisticated mind, how much effort does it take to deal with a little girl?
Among the entire family, I am afraid that only the head of the family, Shangguan Hong, can compete with him. But if everything goes well, it won't be long before Shangguan Hong even loses his qualifications to compete with him.
"Hmph! It seems that the great elder still has my father as the head of the family in his eyes. It's rare, it's rare!"
Shangguan Tong said with a sarcastic expression on his pretty face.
"How presumptuous! Even your father doesn't dare to talk to me like that. What qualifications does a mere little girl have to carry a gun and a stick?"
Shangguan Tu's face darkened and he scolded sternly, not hiding the arrogance and domineering feeling in his heart.
Everyone's faces were darkened, but they had to maintain restraint.
The First Elder has a deep foundation and is also a half-step Xuantian Realm expert. His cultivation level is comparable to that of Shangguan Hong at his peak. Now he is the leader in the family and has top-notch strength!
But this is just the case, and it is not unshakable to the clan leader.
What made everyone even more fearful was the silver-robed worshiper next to him!
The person's identity is mysterious and his origin is unknown, but both his cultivation and various methods make people very fearful. Many people are even glad that the Great Elder did not openly attack, otherwise the silver robe alone would be a huge trouble!
"If you dare to do the following again and openly provoke me, I will never let you go!"
Shangguan Tu looked arrogantly at the audience, roared angrily, and exuded an unrivaled domineering air!
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked, and their faces became extremely ugly!
Although Shangguan Tu had always been at odds with the family head and was secretly seeking family power, it must be said that in order to promote the marriage with the Jing family, he always maintained the necessary courtesy towards Shangguan Tong.
Before this, Shangguan Tong had never been so harsh.
But now, everyone realizes that the situation has changed greatly!
Shangguan Tu seemed to have lost patience with Shangguan Tong and no longer tolerated it at all. He even threatened Shangguan Hong in front of him. This was almost a blatant declaration of war on the family head!
What was the reason that gave him so much confidence?
Everyone looked at each other with extremely ugly expressions, and the atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing.
If the master of the family, Shangguan Hongxiu, was at his peak, the great elder would naturally not dare to be so arrogant. However, the master of the family was still injured, so even if he was furious, there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, no one dared to come forward, whether it was Shangguan Xuan or Shangguan Bo.
The entire meeting hall seems to have become a stage for the Great Elder Shangguan Tu, and even the entire Shangguan Mansion has become Shangguan Tu's territory!
Shangguan Tong's pretty face was sinister, murderous intent surged between his brows, and he smiled coldly after a moment of silence: "The Great Elder is so majestic! But I still have news to tell you..."
"What news?" Shangguan Tu smiled coldly and looked at the other party curiously.
Shangguan Tong said proudly: "Although we experienced disasters this time when we went out, fortunately we fulfilled our mission and successfully brought back the 'Golden Marrow Transformation Grass'!"
"Golden Marrow Transformation Grass?"
Shangguan Tu's face changed slightly when he heard this, and a cold light flashed in his eyes!
Although it was a bit unexpected, since seeing the three people come back alive, he had been mentally prepared enough, and it was not particularly surprising that Shangguan Tong brought back the "Golden Marrow Transformation Grass".
This medicinal herb has unique effects and can cure Shangguanhong's hidden injuries and restore his cultivation.
However, no matter how good the "Golden Marrow Transformation Grass" is, it is not an elixir after all. It may take some time for Shangguan Hong to completely regain his strength.
Before that, there was still not much threat to him.
However, he was not without worries. After all, he had only heard of this medicinal herb but never actually seen it. No one knew the quality of what Shangguan Tong picked.
If the quality is excellent, it may be able to shorten Shangguanhong's recovery time to the greatest extent. For him, this is not a good thing.
"Really? Humph, then I would like to congratulate you, and also congratulate the head of the family?"
Shangguan Tu's eyes were gloomy, and he looked at Shangguan Hong coldly with a malicious smile.
