"Chief, all the chiefs of the tribes have arrived and are waiting in the side hall."
"This is what the clan leaders of each clan presented. Please review it."
Two days later, in the main hall of Yong'an City, several clansmen were reporting one by one.
In the main hall, Chen Tianjing, Chen Tianquan and others were looking through the lists in their hands.
The list clearly stated the sincerity that the families who came this time brought with them. It was more of an apology than sincerity.
"Patriarch, the Lai family only brought 80 kilograms of spiritual springs this time, but I heard that the Lai family leader had given 100 kilograms of spiritual springs to celebrate for the elder of the Yu family!"
"And the Zheng family only has a dozen or so pieces of cold crystal ice, but according to family research, the Zheng family produces more than a hundred pieces of this resource every year!"
"The Tao family is really generous. They actually took out more than a hundred Xuanyang grass. It is said that the yield of this grass is good and it is quite effective for warriors in the Tempering Body Realm. However, the Tao family could only produce more than 200 grasses every year. In addition to these, the Tao family also took out some fierce beast resources and other things, and took the initiative to promise that they would provide 50% of the Xuanyang grass to the family every year."
"oh?"
Chen Tianjing, who was checking the list in his hand, was also quite surprised after hearing this. He did not expect that the Tao family would be so generous.
Although the item is not valuable, the thought behind it is there.
As for many other families, although the items they offered were of considerable value, in the eyes of their families, their sincerity was not sufficient.
The family had already conducted research on the products of each race. There might be some omissions, but the difference would not be too big.
Therefore, facing the sincerity of various ethnic groups, Chen Tianjing also had a consideration in his mind.
After seeing the sincerity of all the families this time, Chen Tianjing had a rough understanding in his mind, and then took Chen Tianquan and others to the side hall of the family.
If several of the families cannot show adequate sincerity, then the family would not mind taking the initiative to recover the interest.
…
In the side hall, the clan leaders of each tribe sat nervously in their seats, but everyone was uneasy.
From time to time, the clan leader would whisper to the clan elders beside him:
For example, whether the Chen family has sent anyone from the clan to receive the resources.
If the Chen family accepts the things they bring at this moment, it means that the Chen family has received the family's sincerity, and the family has passed this hurdle. But if the Chen family does not accept it, then the matter may be in jeopardy.
However, the questions of several clan leaders did not receive a positive answer, which made everyone even more worried.
Could it be that the resources provided by the family this time are not enough to satisfy the Chen family?
Among these clan leaders, there were a few who were calm and composed. When their eyes wandered around the side halls, they did not forget to look at the reactions of other clan leaders and occasionally exchanged glances.
If Chen Tianjing were here, he would definitely discover that the family resources carried by these family patriarchs were the least.
In the center, Lai Peixuan, the head of the Lai family, looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, as if he was not surprised by the sudden change. This also made the other clan leaders who cast their eyes on him feel more calm. The Lai clan leader who was the first to join the Yu family did not bring many resources this time, and the key was that he was still so calm and was not afraid of the Chen family's revenge at all, so they didn't have to worry even more.
Moreover, since the Chen family did not take action against them in the past few days, it must be because they have their own concerns or considerations. It will not be too late to wait and see the reaction of the Chen family first. After all, family resources do not come from the wind.
While everyone was waiting, Chen Tianjing and several innate realm warriors from his clan quickly arrived at the hall.
Seeing the arrival of the main person, the clan leaders of each clan also stood up to greet him:
"Meet Patriarch Chen."
Chen Tianjing's face was calm, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, which made the people who were paying their respects even more nervous.
After Chen Tianjing walked to the main seat, he slowly turned around, looked at everyone in the hall, and said in a cold voice:
"Do you think our Chen family is easy to talk to?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the side hall became unusually quiet. It was obvious that the Chen family was not satisfied with the sincerity shown by the various clans this time. The head of the Tao family was also slightly stunned. The resources provided by the family were already most of the clan, but it was unexpected that the Chen family was still not satisfied. Could it be that they were greedy?
If this is true, then the family’s plan this time may have failed.
But on second thought, he felt that something was wrong. This Patriarch Chen was definitely not that kind of person, otherwise he would not have used blood rice to exchange for the family's ferocious beast resources last time.
When Tao Lewu looked up at Chen Tianjing and the patriarchs of other families beside him, he immediately realized something.
It seems that what the Chen family is dissatisfied with is not the Tao family, but other families.
After feeling this situation, Tao Lewu calmed down and was no longer worried.
At one side, several other family patriarchs who knew the situation were already feeling chilly in their hearts, but they remained calm. If all else failed, they would just blame the disappearance of the Yu Family. After all, their families did lose some resources in the Tongji Alliance before.
While everyone was silent, Lai Peixuan, the head of the Lai family, quickly stood up and said apologetically:
"Patriarch Chen, my Lai family suffered a lot of losses in the Tongji League before, so the family is now short of resources. I also know that the resources on the list are not enough to represent the sincerity of my family. Therefore, the family has prepared some other things for the nobles, but the things are precious, so Lai must carry them with him."
After saying that, an elder beside him presented a wooden box and walked towards Chen Tianjing.
Listening to the words of Team Leader Lai and the wooden box handed over to him, Chen Tianjing had a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he slowly took the wooden box in his hands.
On the side, Chen Tianquan had a vigilant look on his face. The clan leaders of various tribes said one thing and meant another. There might be some kind of conspiracy in the wooden box, so they must be on guard.
However, thinking of the family sacred tree, Chen Tianquan soon stopped worrying.
Seeing Chen Tianjing preparing to open the wooden box, several clan leaders below also cast strange looks at Lai Peixuan.
Could it be that the Lai family leader really wanted to assassinate the Chen family leader in this Chen family? Or was there really something precious inside?
But no matter which situation it was, this matter was not in the process of discussion among their tribes, right?
This made several clan leaders who had their own ideas in mind nervous for a moment, and everyone's eyes were cast towards the wooden box in front of them.
“Snap!”
After the wooden box was opened, Chen Tianjing's eyes lit up slightly, and then he nodded:
"Yes, Patriarch Lai's sincerity is obvious to all of our Chen family!"
After saying this, Chen Tianjing looked at the head of the Lai clan with a meaningful look in his eyes.
According to the family's previous investigation, this Lai clan leader used to be the only one who led the Yu family in the Tongji Alliance. Only when the family came to the door a few days ago, the Lai family hesitated and did not blindly follow the footsteps of the Yu family like the Yu family did.
This is also the reason why the family had never taken action against the Lai family before.
But there is something unusual in this matter. Such decisiveness and wisdom do not seem like the vision and decision-making that a small family should have.
You must know that if you make the wrong choice, your entire clan will be wiped out!
