222. Chapter 222 Some people are happy, while others are sad



All the major herbal medicine shops, material shops, magic weapon and robe shops in the city were cleared out. The shop owners hurriedly shipped in new items and took the opportunity to raise prices, but this could not stop everyone's enthusiasm.

The Gongbo family also specially held dozens of large-scale auctions at the same time, and the venue was in the spiritual field outside the city, so that so many cultivators could be accommodated. The main purpose of the auction was to sell all the magic tools and equipment that everyone didn't need, and then exchange them for spiritual stones to buy what they needed, so the cultivators participated enthusiastically.

This was the busiest time in Gongbo City in ten thousand years, and both the merchants in the city and the Gongbo family were making a lot of money.

That month, the monthly allowance given to the clan members by Gongbo's family was twice as much as usual, all of which was brought by their young master.

On the tenth day, the enthusiasm gradually dissipated.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Nanjin released another bombshell news, that is, cultivators with low cultivation levels can also enter the Golden Immortal Secret Realm.

As soon as these words were spoken, all cultivators below the Spirit Transformation Stage came, and the cultivators who had left earlier also turned back to Gongbo City.

Gongbo City became bustling again, and business was more prosperous than before. The cultivators sold out all the goods that had been accumulated by Gongbo's family for thousands of years, which made the people of Gongbo's family very happy.

However, when some people are happy, others are sad.

The Great Elder was annoyed and upset when he saw that everyone in the tribe had changed their minds about Mu Nanjin and more and more people were supporting her. Even the Third Elder, the Fifth Elder, and the Seventh Elder, who had always stood on his side, sided with Mu Nanjin, which made him even angrier.

He was so angry that he called the three elders together and questioned them: "You agreed to stand on my side and support Xiaoyu, but Gong Bo Nanjin has only been back for a short time, and you two have all sided with her. What kind of magic potion did she give you to make you change your mind about her so much?"

The three elders remained silent.

The elder became even angrier when he saw that they did not refute him: "Speak to me, don't just ignore me with silence."

The third elder sighed and said, "First elder, it's not that I don't want to continue to stand on Xiaoyu's side, but the young master is much better than Xiaoyu."

The fifth elder nodded in agreement: "If the young master was just a little better than Xiaoyu, we would all support Xiaoyu, but the difference between the two of them is too great."

The elder was not convinced: "Apart from the fact that the young master has a higher cultivation level than my Xiaoyu, what has my Xiaoyu done wrong? He cares about the tribe members, helps the tribe members, and always puts the tribe members first. Isn't such a person the most suitable to be the head of the family? Didn't you think so before?"

"Yes, we used to think he was suitable." The third elder was too embarrassed to face the first elder, so he turned his head away and said, "But after comparing him with the young master, he is not suitable at all."

The Great Elder was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe: "What do you say is not suitable for him? How can someone like the young master who loves to stir up trouble be the head of the family? If she becomes the head of the family, the Gongbo family will be destroyed sooner or later."

"She is quite capable of causing trouble, but most of the time she causes trouble without her knowledge. Moreover, she can also handle the troubles herself, without the need for our Gongbo family to intervene."

The Great Elder angrily retorted: “If the Gongbo family takes action, it will be a huge matter.”

The third elder knew that he was angry and would not accept anything he said, so he simply kept silent to avoid a quarrel between the two.

The fifth elder said in a gentle voice: "Great elder, after this period of time, I found that it is not enough to care about the tribe members, help the tribe members, and put the tribe members first in everything to become the head of the family. Other conditions are required."

"What other conditions do you want? Just tell me, and my Xiaoyu will definitely do it."

"What? You can't tell me? I think you are biased towards them because you received benefits from the young master. I have given you benefits in the past, but you turned your back on me so quickly. It really makes me feel disappointed."

The fifth elder frowned and said, "Great elder, aren't your words too harsh?"

The Great Elder asked angrily: "Did I say something wrong?"

"It's not that I can't say it, but I'm afraid that saying it out loud will not only hurt the relationship, but also hurt Xiaoyu's self-esteem."

"My little Xiaoyu is very strong and won't be hurt by a few words."

The Seventh Elder, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Great Elder, do you really want to know why Xiao Yu is inferior to the Young Master?"

"Of course I want to know. I think that except for his cultivation level, my Xiaoyu is inferior to you, in other aspects you cannot compare with him."

"In that case, let Xiaoyu entertain the leaders of the demon, monster and ghost cultivators. If he does better than the young master, we will support Xiaoyu again and never change. We will not stop until Xiaoyu becomes the head of the family. What do you think?"

The third and fifth elders agreed: "Let's do as the seventh elder says."

The Great Elder paused: "Really?"

"I will never break my promise." The Seventh Elder raised three fingers and swore to the Heavenly Dao: "If I don't fulfill my promise, I will be struck by lightning and my soul will be destroyed."

The Great Elder did not expect the Seventh Elder to be so serious. His anger did not subside, but became even stronger: "I did not expect you to go this far to support the Young Master."

The Seventh Elder put down his hand and said, "Great Elder, I am not doing this to support the Young Master, but for the future of our Gongbo family."

The third and fifth elders said in unison: "Yes, we are doing this for the future of Gongbo's family."

The elder felt a little relieved: "I will call Xiao Yu over now."

When Gong Boyu heard the call from the great elder, he immediately flew to the elder hall on his sword and said, "Junior greets the elders. I wonder what the elders are so anxious to call me here for?"

The elder's expression eased when he saw his grandson. He called him over and said, "Xiao Yu, I have an important task for you to do today. If you do well, you will be rewarded greatly."

Gong Boyu said humbly: "If this mission is for the family, I don't need any reward."

The elder patted his shoulder and laughed heartily. "Haha, good, good, you are worthy of being my good grandson."

In the past, the Third Elder and the others would have praised Gong Boyu, but this time, they just couldn't be happy. Moreover, they felt that what Gong Boyu said was just a routine thing to make people happy, and it was not what he really wanted to do.

The Great Elder glanced at the three silent elders and said to Gong Boyu: "Xiao Yu, you also know that all the major sects of demon cultivators, ghost cultivators, and monster cultivators are here, and their sect leaders are here too, so I think it should be okay for you to entertain them, right?"
