In front of the Yang family meeting hall, Yang Xu has not yet stepped through the door.

What came oncoming was the discussion of the elders inside the door, like the rustling of fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

"Yang Xu's behavior this time was too impulsive," an elder's voice suddenly sounded from inside the door.

"His actions will definitely make the Dugu family find excuses to suppress our family industry in every possible way. The branch located in Yueying City, which specializes in selling elixirs and equipment, will definitely be implicated, resulting in a significant reduction in income."

"Although the Holy Son's talent is outstanding and is an extremely rare talent in the family for thousands of years, no matter what his status is, everyone should consider the consequences when doing things and bear corresponding responsibilities."

"So, my lord, I propose..."

Before he could say anything, another voice suddenly sounded, interrupting what he was saying.

"It's not confirmed whether Xu'er has done this, so you'd better shut your mouth first!" Yang Xu could tell that the voice belonged to Mr. Yang Sanye, and he still spoke in the same blunt tone as before.

The man was furious after hearing this. He said in a calm voice: "Can this matter be false? That was a letter sent by the lord of Yueying City himself. As the lord of a city appointed by the imperial court, how could he use his own Are you kidding me about your credibility?”

"Anyway, this is a fact. Is there anything wrong with condemning him now?"

"Quiet! I don't want to hear any more groundless speculations and accusations before Yang Xu admits it himself." Yang Shang's voice suddenly sounded. His expression was serious and he ordered the elders discussing here in a stern tone. .

At this moment, because of Yang Xu's talent, Yang Shang, who always valued the family's interests, showed a bit more favoritism towards Yang Xu in his words.

After Yang Shang said this, the discussion in the hall obviously weakened a lot.

Despite this, Yang Xu could still hear some subtle and chaotic discussions from his position at the door.

"Xu'er, let's go in first!" Yang Wuye glanced at Yang Xu aside, fearing that he would be affected by the discussion inside.

"Yes." Yang Xu nodded, his expression as calm as water, and he didn't seem to care at all about the elders' remarks.

Seeing this, Yang Wuye opened the door of the meeting hall.

As soon as the door opened, the originally noisy meeting hall suddenly became silent.

All the elders' eyes were focused on the gate.

"Master, the Holy Son has been invited." Yang Wuye saluted respectfully. Although he was an elder and had a respected status, he was very polite.

"Master of the family." Yang Xu also saluted respectfully. Facing the looks of many elders, he looked at ease and his heart was as calm as water.

"Yang Xu, your fifth master must have told you the reason why I came here this time!" Yang Shang sat at the deepest place, looking directly at Yang Xu, his voice low.

"Well, I already know about this." Yang Xu nodded calmly.

"Now that you know it, then you..."

"Dugu Mu was indeed killed by me." Yang Xu spoke calmly and admitted the matter directly. He didn't seem to be worried about punishment from the clan at all.

As soon as these words came out, the air in the meeting hall seemed to freeze. Several elders looked at each other in surprise. Most of them were shocked by Yang Xu's straightforward words and had no idea that he would admit it without hesitation.

Yang Wuye on the side couldn't help but sigh. Knowing that Yang Xu had such a temper, he didn't say much to persuade him.

"What else do you have to say!" The elder who had been refuted by Mr. Yang earlier took the lead and stood up with a cold voice, angrily scolding Mr. Yang.

Mr. Yang sat on the seat on the right side of the long table, tapped the table, sighed, and secretly asked Xuer, why are you so stubborn?

Even if you refuse to admit that you did this, no one in the family can prove it!

Seeing that Mr. Yang didn't speak any more, the man stood up and faced the head of the family, "Master, since the Holy Son has acknowledged it, we should deal with it fairly according to the family rules and not be biased because of the Holy Son's status."

Although his words were fierce, they were clear and without hesitation.

Many of the elders who abide by the rules spoke out in agreement.

Yang Wei, who was beside him, saw this scene and shook his head helplessly, and glanced at his brother.

His brother Yang Yue is remarkable in every aspect, but his personality is too rigid, persistent and lacks flexibility.

It is true that according to the rules of the family, the Holy Son's behavior that harms the interests of the family should indeed be punished.

However, if the Holy Son is exceptionally gifted, is such a punishment still necessary?

To insist on punishing the Son of God is to arouse the Son of God's resentment and hatred, which is not worth the gain.

In Yang Wei's view, the loss of family interests is insignificant compared to the heart of a genius.

He thought to himself that the head of the family would definitely not do such an unwise thing.

He coughed slightly and tried to signal to his brother Yang Yue with his eyes to tell him to stay calm and not waste energy on such meaningless arguments.

But Yang Yue looked directly at the owner of the house, and seemed not to notice Yang Wei's eyes.

As Yang Wei had guessed, the head of the family's face was extremely calm at the moment, without the slightest disturbance. His eyes were deep and calm, and there was no trace of blame on his face.

Yang Yue spoke, but he only glanced at him. There was no anger or blame in his eyes, only a faint warning.

He then turned to look at Yang Xu, intending to clarify the matter first: "Yang Xu, why did you kill Dugu Mu? Does he have any grudge against you?"

He had guessed in his mind that Yang Xu might have had his sister kicked out of the family because of Dugu Mu's request for marriage, so he had a grudge against Dugu Mu and wanted to kill him to vent his anger.

But after he thought about it carefully, he felt that his conjecture could not withstand scrutiny at all.

In comparison, he felt that it was the family that Yang Xu should bear more grudge against.

Yang Xu had no intention of hiding anything. He stated coldly, explaining everything that happened yesterday.

After a while, there was no more discussion in the hall, and everyone became quiet and listened carefully to Yang Xu's speech.

"I see..." Not long after, after Yang Xu finished speaking, Yang Shang leaned back on the chair, his expression unchanged.

Anyway, no matter how Yang Xu explains it, in his heart, there will be only one outcome this time.

He stood up, faced the elders in front of the solid wood table, and said in a loud voice: "Since Dugu Mu took the lead in instigating this matter, I think the Holy Son of our clan does not need to bear any responsibility. Do you have any objections?"

The originally quiet meeting hall suddenly erupted in the noisy discussions of the elders.

Among them, more than half of the elders knew the importance of Yang Xu, a genius, to the family, and expressed their support for Yang Xu, believing that he was not at fault in this matter.

However, there are still some elders represented by Yang Yue who abide by the clan rules and insist that Yang Xu's behavior has violated the clan rules and should be punished.

The two argued fiercely, each expounding his own arguments.

Despite this, due to the larger number of elders supporting Yang Xu, their voices gained the upper hand.

In the end, Yang Xu was not punished in any way.

Yang Xu slowly left the door of the conference hall with steady steps.

After saying hello to Mr. Wu and the others who had been here all along, they flew away.

What a boring episode.

Yang Xu in the air complained secretly.

I thought I could unlock some show-off and slap-in-the-face plots.

But after all, he is not the protagonist, so he cannot attract any hatred!

Damn it, let’s go back and be with Ningyu first!
