Originally, Murong Pianpian’s safe return was great news for the Murong family, which meant that the Murong family had a choice again. But this Murong Quan, without discussing it with anyone, reported to the Great Elder without authorization, which is simply forcing the entire Murong family into a dead end!

How can this not arouse the anger of everyone?

Murong Hou looked at Murong Quan whose face became very ugly, and said coldly, “Murong Quan, let me see what else you have to say!”

After Murong Quan was silent for a while, he sneered suddenly and said, “Okay! Okay! Okay! You, Murong Hou, are amazing, you are noble, you have to lead the whole family to fight against the Great Elder with dignity, and you have to lead them to fight with dignity only to die to death! But I am different from you, I want to live! Since this is the case, we have different ways and will not conspire with each other. I, Murong Quan, will resign as an elder of the family today, and our lineage will have nothing to do with the main family in the future! Farewell, everyone!”

With that said, Murong Quan turned around and left.

Someone wanted to stop Murong Quan, but Murong Hou said coldly, “Let him go! You have all heard him say that their lineage will have nothing to do with the master’s family in the future. From now on, the bridge will return to the bridge, and the road will return to the road! Whether this Murong family lives or dies, it has nothing to do with your Murong Quan lineage!”

Murong Quan snorted coldly and walked away.

Tang Fei looked at the scene in front of him, but couldn’t help but give Murong Hou a high look.

Murong Hou’s move seems to be creating a split within the Murong family, but after thinking about it carefully, the benefits of doing so far outweigh the disadvantages.

Although Murong Hou is the patriarch of the Murong family, his power is still far from covering the sky with his hands in the Murong family. In addition to his lineage, there are several factions that are not on his side. Now he is determined to support Tang Fei, but this is a very risky choice, which will inevitably cause disputes within the Murong family. And Murong Quan is undoubtedly the faction with the loudest opposition.

Murong Hou knew that he could not persuade Murong Quan, so he could only choose to expel Murong Quan’s lineage from the Murong family. If he can, he will even drive out more branches that make different voices, just to make the internal voices reach a consensus. Only such a Murong family with only one voice can truly become a Murong family that can do great things. And this is exactly what Tang Fei, who lacks background, needs today.

No wonder Murong Hou asked him to attend this meeting, the real purpose was here.

It seems that he has underestimated this future father-in-law!

Sure enough, in the following meeting, some elders still raised objections to Murong Hou’s decision. And under Murong Hou’s refusal to compromise, another branch chose to withdraw from the main family. As for the other elders, although there are still criticisms of Murong Hou’s decision, at least they choose to support Murong Hou’s decision on the surface.

So far, the Murong family has reached an agreement and is on Tang Fei’s side.

Even if some people are still objecting, since they are still sitting here, it means that they have made a decision. No matter what they think in their hearts, they must stand unequivocally on Tang Fei’s side in the future.

Tang Fei, as the “flag” of the Murong family, said a few encouraging words at the meeting. Regardless of what the big guys thought in their hearts, at least the applause was quite warm.

After the meeting, Murong Hou pulled Tang Fei, saying that he wanted to catch up on the old days. Tang Fei didn’t want to talk too much with Murong Hou, but considering Murong Pianpian’s position, he could only agree.

Murong Hou chose the place to talk, which is his own study.

After entering the study, Murong Hou actually poured a cup of tea for Tang Fei himself and then said to Tang Fei with a sincere face, “Holy son Tang, now my Murong family has put all their hopes on you. Not only because of your identity but also because you are Pianpian’s future husband. No matter what the result is, I hope you will treat Pianpian kindly, and I also hope that holy son Tang can agree to this little request of mine!”

After speaking, Murong Hou gave Tang Fei a deep bow.

Tang Fei hurriedly helped Murong Hou up, and said, “Uncle Murong really upsets this junior! Regardless of whether Uncle Murong ordered it or not, the junior will definitely treat Pianpian kindly. Please rest assured!”

Murong Hou smiled gratifiedly and said, “If that’s the case, then I can only thank holy son Tang!”

These few short sentences can be regarded as the establishment of a relationship. Tang Fei has already admitted the relationship between Murong Pianpian and himself, and Murong Hou will also fully support Tang Fei as Tang Fei’s relative.

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Now that the relationship has been determined, there is no need to hide some things. Murong Hou got straight to the point and asked Tang Fei, “Holy son Tang, I don’t know what you plan to do next in dealing with the Great Elder? Is there anything we Murong family needs to do?”

Tang Fei pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly, “Yes.”

Murong Hou’s eyes lit up, “I ask the holy son to please speak clearly.”

Tang Fei said, “Don’t look at the fact that the Great Elder’s lineage seems to be powerful in the Ziqing Sacred Land. In fact, his foundation has long been unstable, and it is difficult for him to convince the public. Especially for me, he wants me to die, yet he is afraid that I will die suddenly. Then for him, the best result is to let me die at the hands of the Second Elder. In this way, he will get rid of a serious problem, and at the same time, he will hold the moral high ground against the Second Elder, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.”

Speaking of this, Tang Fei smiled and said, “So what we have to do now is to wait for the Great Elder to make a move.”
