Hua Zi sat in the main seat without saying a word.
In front of him, more than a dozen families were sitting on chairs, looking strange.
The children of these families were all those who followed Hua Aoxing to the ruins of the ancient city.
Hua Aoxing's return naturally cannot be hidden from these people.
After all, they are all families dependent on the Hua family, and they pay special attention to every move of the Hua family.
Not to mention, Hua Aoxing came back so arrogantly.
Although I didn't dare to question him, many of the children at that time were the biological children of the family leader. Many of them were trained as successors, and the family invested a lot of resources.
If I don't ask this question, I will always find it difficult to calm down.
As a result, many families connected in series and came together.
After all, public anger is hard to offend. If we all come together, your Hua family can't blatantly bully others.
Hua Zian naturally knows what these family heads are thinking.
To be honest, he really couldn't offend all the patriarchs of these middle-class families.
Because, for any family to be strong, it is not just the main family, but also many affiliated families to serve it and support it.
Those who are strong must be surrounded by strong people.
No matter what the circle is, it needs its own strong sphere of influence.
It’s hard to sing alone!
Unless the person is so powerful that he reaches the holy realm and can fight against a powerful family by himself.
In fact, even if you become a saint, you may not be able to deal with a family that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Naturally, every family that can inherit the family for such a long time will not be that simple.
It may not be impossible to trap and kill a saint.
At best, both sides will suffer losses.
However, this kind of situation is just a thought and it is difficult to happen.
Generally speaking, it is almost impossible for casual cultivators to become saints.
Because cultivation requires resources.
Lots of resources!
Massive resources!
Sanctification requires not only your talent, but also huge resources.
No casual cultivator can obtain so many resources on his own.
Therefore, the saints who have appeared in the past all appeared in large families that have been passed down for countless years.
"Drink tea!"
Hua Zian picked up the teacup and used the lid to slowly float the tea foam.
In fact, what he drank was spiritual tea. How could there be anything like tea foam?
This is just a way for him to express it.
As the head of the Hua family, he is dignified and cautious.
He must not just speak directly, as that would make the head of the Hua family look cheap and lack dignity.
However, he also knew that the patriarchs of these small families were not willing to initiate the topic.
Whoever wants to speak will offend the Hua family first.
Seeing Hua Zian holding the tea, the heads of many small families stood up, holding the tea cups in both hands, with smiles on their faces.
"Thank you, Master!"
Hua Zian sat still, took a sip, and then frowned.
"Who made the tea? Didn't I ask you to get the best tea? What's going on?"
"Master, I made a mistake." A young woman trotted in immediately.
"Hmph!" Hua Zian snorted and said, "Pull it out and kill it with a stick!"
"yes."
"Master, please spare your life! My family...well..."
As soon as she shouted, someone covered her mouth.
"Rebuild the tea!" Hua Zian said coldly.
"Yes, Master."
Next to him, Manager Hua immediately directed the maid to come forward and respectfully removed the tea.
More than a dozen family heads, you look at me, I look at you, with smiles on their faces, but their eyes are meaningful.
It was originally agreed that everything should be done to answer questions.
As a result, when we arrived at the place, no one spoke.
Instead, the head of the Hua family gave him a warning.
What the hell is this called?
"Master!"
At this time, a family head stood up.
This is the Zhou family that is dependent on the Hua family and is the core of the Hua family.
Hua Zian raised his head, looked at the head of the Zhou family, stretched his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Old Zhou, what's the matter?"
"Yes, head of the family, our Zhou family is very happy to hear that the young master is back. This is a great joy."
"On behalf of the Zhou family, I have prepared a small gift to congratulate the young master on his return home."
As the head of the Zhou family said, he placed a Qiankun Ring in front of Hua Zian.
"Lao Zhou, what are you doing? I've known you for so many years, why are you still so polite?"
Hua Zian pretended to be surprised, and his tone even sounded reproachful.
"The Zhou family is a subsidiary of the Hua family. The young master of the master family has returned. I, the Zhou family, are here to congratulate you. I also ask the master family to accept this small gift. I wish that the young master will reach a higher level. I wish that the Hua family will continue to be passed down for thousands of years!"
"Hahaha...well said!"
Hearing what the head of the Zhou family said, Hua Zian laughed.
The other family heads quickly joined in the laughter.
In fact, in their hearts, they were all cursing.
It was this person named Zhou who took the lead and asked everyone to come together to question the crime.
As a result, this old bastard simply sold everyone else.
But, at this moment, no one can say anything?
At this time, if you have a problem with your boss, wouldn’t that make you look bad?
Besides, now that things have become like this, who would still want to be the first?
If the host family holds a grudge, what will happen in the future?
One can imagine the mood of the dozen or so family heads at this moment.
It was originally a question of guilt, but it turned out to be a congratulation. What the hell is this?
Hua Zian sneered in his heart, people from these families need to be beaten all the time.
Otherwise, maybe if there is an opportunity, he will bite back.
He never believed in the loyalty of these people.
At least, not everyone is loyal to him.
The Hua family is so big, not all families will be loyal to him as the head of the family.
Many dependent families actually have their own backers within the Hua family.
For example, the head of the Xu family on the right, he took refuge with the great elder.
Next to the Xu family leader, the Yu family leader, his backer is the second elder.
What does he really think that these people want their children to be with his son?
He is not stupid!
"Ahem..."
Hua Zian coughed twice, and everyone's laughter stopped immediately.
"Every family head, you are the right-hand man of my Hua family. I know the meaning of many family heads coming. Your children followed Xiaoxing to the ruins of the ancient city and were missing for three years. Xiaoxing is back now, and they have not come back.
.”
"I know it very well in my heart, and please give me some time. Xiaoxing has just come back, and he is very tired. I didn't bother to ask him. I will wait for him to take a rest, and then I will cross-examine him."
"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely give you an explanation!"
"Master, you're welcome!"
"Master, it's nothing like that. We are just here to congratulate the young master on his return."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work, Patriarch!"
A group of family heads were all smiling and saying things that they didn't mean to say.
A farce ended like this.
After sending everyone away, Hua Zian's face darkened.
"Master, we've found out."
"explain…"
"There is no record of Master Xing's entry and exit at the city gate, but someone saw the young man who was following Master Xing."
"At that time, it was an old man with white hair and white eyebrows who took the young man and someone who looked like an old servant, and finally entered the Zuifeng Tower."
"Then Hong Gu entered their private room, and they seemed to have eaten a lot."
Hua Zi listened quietly and frowned slightly.
Strange, very strange!
After thinking for a while, he stood up and said, "Let's go and ask clearly."
