Chapter 453 No one can defeat the fifth brother!

Old Mrs. Xu wanted to pull Xu Ming to sit in the main seat.

And very persistent.

Xu Yi and Xu Shan frowned.

Others were also very surprised.

They thought that the one sitting in the main seat was the one who is here today.

Or maybe a minister from the court was coming, so the old lady gave up the main seat.

Take for example Prime Minister Xiao.

Prime Minister Xiao's great-grandfather and Duke Xu were also close friends.

So if Prime Minister Xiao came to present gifts and sat in the main seat, no one would have any objection, but unexpectedly it turned out to be Xu Ming.

"Grandfather, this is really unacceptable. I am just a junior. How can I be qualified to sit in this position?"

Xu Ming still made excuses.

In fact, in Xu Ming's heart, it doesn't matter whether he sits in this position or not.

The old lady of the Xu Mansion shook her head and said, "Ming'er, you are now a favorite of His Majesty, and the commander of the Jinyiwei. You have also promoted the friendship between Beihai and my Wu Kingdom. Although I have been in the courtyard, I occasionally hear things from the court.

Now you are the only one sitting in this position, leading the Xu and Qin mansions in the future, so I, an old man, can rest assured."

Xu Ming: “…”

Xu Zheng's eyes turned at this time, and he stood up and said to Xu Ming: "Ming'er, since the ancestors have said so, you should sit down quickly. Just as the ancestors said, when people mention the Xu Mansion and the Qin Mansion, the first person they think of is you.

Although you are young, Dad knows that you are mature at heart. You are fully qualified to preside over the ancestor worship this time."

"Indeed, fifth brother, just sit down. The ancestors said that the younger generation should be allowed to preside over this sacrificial ceremony. I was wondering who it would be. If it's not you, fifth brother, then I won't accept anyone else but you." Xu Pangda also said with a smile, supporting Xu Ming.

Then Wang Feng, Xu Shuiya and especially Qin Ruhai joined in.

At this time, Xu Ming felt that if he didn't sit in the main seat, it would seem a bit pretentious.

"In that case, I, the younger generation, will dare to take this position in place of the old ancestor."

Xu Ming bowed to everyone and then sat down on the chair with confidence.

The moment Xu Ming sat down, the looks in the eyes of others looking at him were somewhat strange.

But in Xu Ming's opinion, this is normal.

I am such a junior, and even a child of a concubine in such a big family, but I ended up sitting in such a main seat.

For many people, this is something they dare not even think about.

And the fact that he sat in the main seat this time also indicated another thing, that is, the next head of the Xu family would be Xu Ming, and it was very likely that Xu Zheng's generation would be skipped.

This kind of thing has happened before. The bigger the family, the more capable people are needed to take the helm.

But Xu Ming was not interested in the position of head of the family.

But it’s not a big problem. I’ll sit for the third brother for a while.

After I leave, I will give this position to my third brother.

After Xu Ming took his seat, the family dinner officially began.

The maids brought the food up one by one.

Only after Xu Ming took a bite could the others at the main table start eating, and the people at other tables could also start eating.

However, at the main table, many people were not enjoying the family dinner.

The most unhappy among them were Xu Yi and Xu Shan.

"Fifth brother, I heard that you are ranked second on the Qingyun list and are good at both physical and magical skills. I wonder if you can give me some advice?" Xu Yi asked.

"Indeed, I also want to spar with my fifth brother. After all, I often see his name on the Qingyun list, and I feel itchy in my heart." Xu Shan continued.

After Xu Yi and Xu Shan spoke, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became even more silent.

Everyone knows that Xu Yi and Xu Shan are not convinced that Xu Ming can preside over the ceremony, and are not convinced that Xu Ming can serve as the head of the family.

Xu Ming naturally understood their thoughts very well.

Is the position of head of this family important?

For monks, it is indeed very important.

This is not just a matter of face in the mortal world, it is also related to spiritual practice.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The positions of Duke Xu and Duke Qin allow them to share the fortune of the Wu State.

The luck of mountains and rivers of a dynasty is of great benefit to spiritual practice. To put it simply, when you are undergoing a tribulation, if you are blessed by the luck of mountains and rivers, your chances of passing the tribulation will be greater.

This is the reason why many monks would rather sacrifice some of their life essence and want to serve as officials in the court.

So why do Xu Yi and Xu Shan, who are already people living in the mountains, still come to worship their ancestors?

Is it really just because of family sentiment? No, they just want to be the head of the family.

Naturally, they were unhappy that the position of the head of the family was taken by Xu Ming.

Madam Qian and Madam Lin quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, you are all cultivators. Why don't you exchange some ideas with us so that we can learn something new."

In the eyes of Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Lin, it didn't matter even if their son lost. If he lost, he lost. Xu Ming was originally ranked second on the Qingyun List, so it was not shameful to lose.

But if Xu Ming lost, would he be embarrassed to sit in this seat? Mrs. Qin wanted to speak for Xu Ming, but was held down by Wang Feng.

On the other side, Xu Pangda was just eating his meal.

He is not worried at all.

Although Xu Pangda didn't know much about the world of immortal cultivation, in his opinion, no one among his peers could defeat the fifth brother! "Okay, since we brothers have met, let's have a competition."

Xu Ming smiled and agreed to the other party's request.

To be honest, Xu Ming felt that Xu Yi and Xu Shan were too confident in themselves.

Xu Yi and Xu Shan have never left the sect since they entered it, so they are not ranked on the Qingyun list.

However, they have always been highly respected in the sect and praised to the sky, so they think they are invincible and that those people on the Qingyun list are garbage. They think that the reason those people on the Qingyun list are still on the list is simply because they have not taken action yet.

People like this basically become obedient after realizing the gap in strength.

But did Madam Qian and Madam Lin really think that if their son competed with me, he would not lose anything if he lost, and would make a lot of money if he won? How could such a thing be possible in the world?

It just so happened that I had to rely on these two people to establish my authority, otherwise, I didn't want a fire to break out in my backyard while the Jinyiwei were handling things.

Xu Ming looked at a branch not far away, and with a flick of his sword, the branch instantly flew into the air.

"It's fine for us to spar, but I'm afraid I'll hurt you two brothers. If you can break this branch, then it won't be too late to spar with me."
