Chapter 167 Xu Family Reshuffle
The power within the Xu family is also being reshuffled.
The forces headed by the Great Elder felt that the Xu family had no hope under the leadership of the current head of the family, and supported Xu Luoyi to succeed the head of the family.
The other force, led by the second elder and others, stated that they would never allow a woman who was expelled from the Xu family to become the head of the family.
The two forces fought openly and secretly, among which the faction belonging to the main line of the Xu family was the most intense, and some people even wanted to kill Xu Luoyi directly.
Just at this moment, a message came.
That is, the head of the Xu family suddenly disappeared!
Once the news spread, it immediately shocked the entire Xu family.
Some people speculated that it was Xu Luoyi who did it. She killed her own father for the position of head of the family, which was an act of treason.
But Xu Luoyi flatly denied that she did not harm her father and sent people to investigate the matter.
There was no news for several days, and everyone in the Xu family was very worried.
At this time, some people with ulterior motives took the opportunity to incite, saying that Xu Luoyi was a woman, had been expelled from the family, and was suspected of patricide, so she could not inherit the position of head of the family.
But the Xu family cannot be without a leader for a day, and now the Xu family should be temporarily succeeded by the elder with the greatest strength and prestige.
The first elder has lost his prestige since he retired from the family for more than ten years after Xu Lewu was expelled from the family, and has ignored the family. Therefore, the second elder should temporarily take over the position of head of the family.
There was chaos in the Xu family, and many people supported the second elder to succeed to the throne. The second elder's status in the family was unparalleled.
The great elders were extremely anxious and asked Xu Luoyi what to do.
Xu Luoyi comforted everyone not to worry, she had already taken care of everything.
Sure enough, a few days later, the Xu family found the body of the head of the Xu family in a remote village in Fengluan Country. In this village, they also found the young master of Xu who had been stranded outside.
But the young master is still too young and can't even walk, so he is impossible to inherit the position of head of the family.
For a moment, the second elder's side became active again, saying that the young master, as the only boy of the Xu family's bloodline, should inherit the position of the head of the family, but he is still young and cannot handle the affairs of the head of the family alone, so the second elder will temporarily assist him in handling affairs.
The words sound nice, but in fact everyone knows that the second elder just wants to seize the position of head of the family.
Even so, there are still many people who support the second elder, simply because Xu Luoyi is a woman, and a woman who was expelled from the family because of her cut hair. She is a shame to their Xu family!
Xu Luoyi turned a deaf ear to these accusations and silently dropped a bombshell on the Xu family.
Xu Luoyi has lived in Fengluan Country for many years and has considerable influence there. She has long known that her father frequently goes to Fengluan Country.
But she didn't think much about it at first, and only sent people to monitor the village where the head of the Xu family often went in and out after returning to the Xu family.
It turned out that her father was having an affair again and had a son. However, due to the cruelty of Xu Lewu and the mistress Park Hanxi, he did not dare to bring the child home.
In this way, the head of the Xu family frequently went in and out of the village, and was known by the second elder. He took advantage of the chaos in the Xu family to get rid of the head of the Xu family in one fell swoop, and also killed the concubines he kept outside.
He wanted to strangle the child to death outside, but he was rescued by Xu Luoyi's forces and Anlou, and placed in the village to wait for the arrival of Xu's family.
Because there were so many witnesses in the village, the second elder was unable to refute, so he simply started a killing spree in an attempt to forcibly take over the Xu family.
But just as he was about to make a move, he was killed by the owl shadow in the dark. The second elder's faction was leaderless and in chaos, and was easily subdued by the first elder's faction.
Xu Luoyi also successfully ascended to the position of head of the family and massacred everyone in the Xu family, including the mistress Park Hanxi and Xu Lewu who had her cultivation abolished and was expelled from the academy.
Ever since the Xu family became a power completely under Xu Luoyi's control, because Xu Luoyi was the dean's direct disciple, even if the Xu family did not have the protection of Shenghuang Academy, no force dared to touch the Xu family.
The Xu family regained its former glory.
This matter continued to ferment in the college capital for more than a month before it was finally over.
There is less than a week left until the annual assessment.
"Master, I just asked. Junior Sister said that she has to deal with the Xu family's affairs, and she has a younger brother who needs her care. She may not be able to participate in the annual assessment. She asked Master to punish her according to the rules..."
Wen Ziye looked at Jing Yu, shook his head helplessly and said: "Forget it, let her be."
Jing Yu also sighed: "Yes, Master." Thinking of something, he asked again: "Master, is this year..."
"Well, in a few days, their people should be here..."
*
The days passed in an orderly manner and arrived at the day of the annual assessment.
Wen Ziye and a group of elders stood on the high platform, and the square was filled with all the disciples of Shenghuang Academy.
Wen Ziye glanced at everyone, and his gentle and elegant voice spread throughout the square: "Today is the annual assessment day of the academy. As in the past, you will enter the Youlan Secret Realm for a month of training. The spirit beasts you kill and the treasures you obtain will be converted into points and recorded on your identity cards. The top 100 will be able to enter the Trial Tower, the Nine-Layer Palace."
All the disciples were in an uproar.
"Oh my god, the top 100 this year can actually enter the Nine-Layer Palace!"
"Yes, in the past only the top fifty could enter the Nine-Layer Palace, but this year there are twice as many people!"
Listening to the discussion, Bai Si Nan was a little confused and asked Jing Yu beside him: "Big Brother, what is the Nine-Layered Palace?"
"The Jiuchongque is also a training tower that has existed since the establishment of the academy. It has nine floors and nine checkpoints. Each checkpoint is very difficult, and the higher you go, the more difficult it is. No one in the entire academy has ever reached the ninth floor except for Master Wen."
Bai Si Nan was stunned: "This Nine-Layer Palace is so difficult? So, what is the highest level you have reached, Senior Brother?"
"The eighth level." Seeing Bai Sinan's expression of horror and disbelief, Jing Yu smiled and explained: "The attack strength of each level of the Nine-Layered Gate will change according to one's own cultivation level, so strength is only a small part of the Nine-Layered Gate."
She suddenly realized: "So that's it." She looked at Bai Dianyu again, blinked her eyes and asked: "Where's my brother?"
Bai Dianyu smiled bitterly: "Little sister, please stop teasing me. I have only reached the sixth floor at best."
Huang Haoran hooked his neck and said, "Brother Bai, I have only reached the seventh level at most. You are so young, and it is already amazing to reach the sixth level."
Luo Qianxi also smiled and said: "That's right, Junior Brother, I have only reached the sixth level like you."
"Hehe." Bai Sinan ran to Bai Dianyu, grabbed his arm and said coquettishly: "Yes, brother, you are so amazing, you will definitely be able to reach the next level this time!"
