Seeing this, several other elders of the Shen family couldn't help but frown.
Listen to what Lao Wu said just now.
What does it mean that he will definitely give everyone an explanation?
Let's not talk about where this explanation came from, just talk about his behavior as the head of the family... There is a young clan leader in front of him, and these elders behind him, so it is definitely not his turn to be the head of the family.
Several elders looked at each other, and then looked at Shen Qiqi at the same time. Seeing Shen Qiqi frowning slightly, the first elder hurriedly stepped forward and was about to signal the fifth elder not to overstep his authority, but Xie Beiming, who had been silent, suddenly called him.
"Great Elder, fellow elders, I have something to say to you."
"Mr. Xie, please tell me what you have to say."
Xie Beiming's good reputation is recognized by everyone, and he is still a disciple of Wuji Sect. When he spoke, the elders of the Shen family did not dare to disrespect him.
I just don't know what important things this person has to say. Why does he have to say it now? Why not wait until we get back?
Several elders looked at Xie Beiming curiously.
Then Xie Beiming said slowly, "Fellow elders, I feel that what the Fifth Elder said just now was inappropriate and seemed to be overstepping his bounds."
The elder of the Shen family thought he had something important to say: "......"
The elders of the Shen family were all speechless, thinking, do I need you to remind me of this? We also realized that what the fifth brother said just now was inappropriate. We were just about to remind him, but you stopped us halfway.
While Xie Beiming was delayed like this, the Fifth Elder had already started talking in a very proud manner.
"...The second young lady also had good intentions. Seeing everyone's children being abducted by an evil spirit, she was worried. That's why she made such a bold promise yesterday, saying that she would definitely help everyone rescue the children."
"Actually, the Second Miss was too eager to prove herself. The head of the family was seriously injured and unconscious. Before the accident, he told the Second Miss to protect the people of Yuzhou. But then this happened. The Second Miss was so anxious that... Alas!"
"After all, the Second Miss is still young, and with a child's mind, she takes everything too simply, taking it for granted. She's also too eager to achieve success and too aggressive, which is why she's disappointed everyone. I'd like to apologize to you all on behalf of the Second Miss. I hope you can understand that she's a daughter who didn't want to let her old father down, which is why she made the mistake."
The Great Elder happened to hear this and was so shocked that his scalp exploded. He shouted angrily: "Old Five! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Right now, Yuzhou City is being targeted by evil spirits. The people in the city can't stand the pressure and are all irritable and quick to fight over trivial matters. Several fights have already occurred in the city today. Qiqi managed to suppress the chaos with great difficulty, but unexpectedly, Lao Wu released the news that the head of the family was seriously injured and unconscious at this time... Does he think Yuzhou isn't chaotic enough?
This Lao Wu, usually such a steady person, why has he become so confused today!!!
The Great Elder no longer cared about Xie Beiming. He rushed straight to the Fifth Elder, grabbed his arm, and said in a low voice, "Fifth Elder, are you crazy? How can you say such nonsense at this time!"
If it were in the past, after being scolded so harshly by the Great Elder, the Fifth Elder would have immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
But today he didn't.
In the past, he was humble and subservient to these old guys because he was ranked lower and his background was not as strong as theirs, so he had to be inferior to them.
But now it’s different. Although he is still ranked fifth, his background has become stronger.
He has the support of the people, he is the people's heart, and the people of the entire Yuzhou regard him as their patron saint!
He has the support and trust of the people, so why should he bow down to these old guys and act according to their wishes?
Feeling proud, the Fifth Elder showed no fear at all in the face of the Great Elder's rebuke. He even deliberately retorted loudly, "Great Elder, I'm not saying anything foolish. I'm just stating a fact."
Seeing the Great Elder's face livid with anger, several other elders also glared at the Fifth Elder and were about to step forward and scold him. Shen Qiqi hurriedly spoke before them.
"The Fifth Elder seems to have some misunderstanding about me. Elders, please don't be angry. Let's listen to what the Fifth Elder has to say before making any decision."
This was a drama that she had planned after discussing with the people. It was mainly aimed at the fifth elder. The first elder had been implicated by coming forward at this time, and she did not want the other elders to be misunderstood by the people.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiqi walked straight to the Fifth Elder.
"Fifth Elder, may I ask what you meant by what you just said?"
After Shen Qiqi finished speaking, she looked directly at the Fifth Elder.
The girl stood with her hands behind her back, slightly raising her delicate chin, but she did not give people a feeling of arrogance at all.
The elders, who were a little worried at first, were relieved immediately when they saw how calm and composed she was.
At the same time, they felt much more at ease, thinking that as long as Shen Qiqi showed up, no matter how big the chaos was, it could be suppressed.
Don't ask why.
Asking is confidence.
The confidence in the second daughter of their Shen family.
Apart from their second daughter, who else could find the evil spirit's whereabouts overnight and rescue nearly a hundred abducted children safely?
With this ability, the elders of the clan are ashamed of themselves.
That idiot Lao Wu must have mistakenly thought that the second girl failed to rescue the children, so he said that he would apologize on behalf of the second girl.
If it was just a misunderstanding, it would be fine and could be explained away. However, at this time, Lao Wu announced that the head of the family was seriously injured and unconscious. What kind of behavior is this?
