Translator: 549690339
At night, elder Li finally found a place to stay and shared a room with elder Tian. Brother Dog did not choose to stay with his relatives. Instead, he said that his fellow disciples had booked a room for him and left.
Because he knew that the Liu family would definitely fight over the two quotas at night. With outsiders around during the day, the Liu family still had some sense of propriety. When they closed the door at night, they naturally could not hold it in.
Brother Dog could not be bothered with this matter. Since it was left to the old master to make the decision, he might as well not be bothered by it. Even if the old master chose Liu Wenhao, whom he disliked the most, it was not a big deal. In any case, the so-called quota was actually a big scam. It was not a real gaming quota…
As expected, at night, the Liu family did not return to their rooms. Instead, they crowded into the old master’s room to wait for the quota. At that moment, the second son of the Liu family began to explain the matter during the day…
“Father, didn’t I do that for the Liu Family? “The fifth son of the Liu family is young and powerful, so we can’t let him control the Liu family. If he makes a joke like the Li family, how can we afford to lose face like this? “Moreover, if the quota is in his hands and he decides the candidates based on his personal preferences, when the time comes to choose this family, the other families will definitely not be convinced. When the time comes, the family will not be at peace!”
Second brother said sincerely, “Shiyu is not close to us to begin with. When the time comes, won’t the families blame him and make things even more difficult? This matter is most suitable for you to make the decision, Old Man…”
It was fortunate that brother dog was not here right now. If he were here, he would definitely roll his eyes. To be able to achieve such a feat for the benefit of his family, he was truly a talented person… …
“Then second brother really has put in a lot of effort…”the aunt at the side sneered sarcastically, she did not care about the quota. She was a married woman and her child’s surname was not Liu. No matter how fair the old man was, he would never give the quota to her child. As the saying went, there was no desire without firmness.., he would say whatever he thought of based on his mood…
“Little sister, do you have a problem with second brother’s Words?”Second Brother looked at the other party with a cold face.
The little aunt sneered and was about to reply when the old man with a stern face shouted, “Enough!”
The old man’s prestige at home was very high. Once he shouted, both sides did not dare to continue arguing. Old Man Liu covered his head and suddenly realized that giving him the choice of the quota was not a good thing. Although he did have face in front of outsiders, now that his children were all looking at him eagerly, he was suddenly in a dilemma…
He could not help but think to himself, what a brat. Could it be that he was too lazy to trouble himself to kick this ball to me? 1
However, looking at the looks of his children, if he did not give them an explanation today, he would not be able to sleep well. Therefore, he sighed and turned to look at his boss who had not spoken all this while. “Jianguo, how do you think this quota should be divided?”
Ever since the Liu family was young, outsiders had always thought that the second son of the Liu family had performed the most outstanding. However, old master Liu had always thought highly of his eldest son. Now, the facts had proven that the pragmatic eldest brother was the true pillar of the family…
When the silent eldest brother saw old master Liu asking him, his heart warmed slightly, he said in a low voice, “When it comes to cultivation, the most important thing is one’s talent in martial arts. I suggest to eliminate this option for those who are too old in the family or those who have already arranged their paths.”
Elder Liu and the rest of the Liu family members nodded slightly when they heard this. The three generations of children who were too old, whether they were going into politics, business, or the army, had already arranged their paths in all aspects, after expending a lot of favors and resources, it was obviously not appropriate to ask them to suddenly change their path at this time.
Moreover, as the eldest son of the Liu family, the three children under him who were the first to get married had basically already been set in stone. Once he said this, it could be considered that he had eliminated the possibility of his own children joining the sect. This kind of justice that set an example was… Immediately, some of the small-minded members of the Liu family had nothing to say at this time…
Old Master Liu nodded in satisfaction. He was very satisfied with the eldest son’s words… …
“Then, how do you think the candidate is suitable?”
Liu Jianguo said, “In our family’s martial arts aptitude, the best on the surface is the second son’s Wen Hao…”
When these words were said, the second son, Liu Jianye, immediately puffed out his chest. In the distance, Liu Wen Hao’s heart was also filled with excitement. He looked at his uncle gratefully. It was naturally the best for his family to take the initiative to ask for this recommendation spot…
Second Brother also looked at his big brother and thought to himself, “My Big Brother really knows how to afford it…”. …
However, the expressions of the other families were not very good. Third brother Liu Jianyao even frowned. He was not completely concerned about the quota, he just did not like Liu Wenhao’s character, in the past, he only felt that Liu Wenhao might be a little hypocritical. After the incident with the Yun family, he finally understood that this fellow was a person with a bad character.
Even if he wanted to curry favor with the descendants of the aristocratic families, he couldn’t use his brother as a stepping stone. With this kind of character, if he really gained power, the Liu family might not be able to gain anything from him. It might even have the opposite effect… …
Just as he was about to take the risk of offending his second brother’s family and say a few words.., he saw his boss continue, “But this is only on the surface. From the example of the sect valuing Shiyu, we can see that sometimes, talent doesn’t necessarily match with the surface performance. Take Shiyu for example. If he wasn’t valued by an expert, we might never know that he had the talent to cultivate, right?”
The Liu family was stunned when they heard this. They did not know what their boss wanted to say, but when they heard that he did not intend to let Liu Wenhao go, they all nodded, “Big Brother is right…”
Liu Wenhao’s expression changed when he heard this. He clenched his fists tightly and looked at his uncle with an unfriendly expression. The gratitude he felt earlier instantly disappeared without a trace…
The second son of the Liu family’s expression also became a little unsightly. Following which, his voice turned cold as he said, “Then, Big Brother, what do you mean?”
The eldest brother looked at the father and son who had changed their expressions in an instant, his tone was as calm as ever as he said, “That child Shiyu was valued because of his good aptitude. Then, I believe that that sect should have some means to measure his aptitude. I thought that it would be better for Shiyu to ask his sect’s elders to help our Liu family’s disciples who are suitable for cultivation to be measured. Whoever has good aptitude will go. This way, firstly, it would not waste resources. Secondly, this is also relatively fair. I believe that everyone doesn’t have anything to say, right?”
“This…”many of the disciples looked at each other, for a moment, they couldn’t find any faults, and their hearts felt a little better. The only one who wasn’t in balance was Liu Wenhao. Although he was very confident in his own aptitude, who knew what criteria the sect used to determine his aptitude?
The risk was obviously much greater than what he set for himself. He couldn’t help but secretly hate his uncle’s unnecessary actions.
“Good!”Elder Liu nodded in satisfaction. “Let’s do as you say, Jianguo!”
After the matter was settled, the Liu family members each returned to their own rooms. After all, the Liu family members had not arrived yet. This matter would definitely have to be done after the martial arts demonstration. There was no rush even if they wanted to…
Because the room was tight, the eldest and third brother of the Liu family were in the same room. After Liu Jianguo returned to the room, he immediately smiled and said, “Eldest brother, you still have the rules. You didn’t see it just now. Second Brother’s expression is extremely ugly…”
Jianchao looked at his younger brother, shook his head, and sighed. “You’re already over fifty years old, but you still can’t keep your cool. You want to go against second brother according to your character. Once we quarrel, will our old man still be able to sleep peacefully tonight?”
“Hehe…”Liu Jianchao smiled embarrassedly when he heard that and said, “I just can’t stand second brother’s family. Not only do they do things unsightly, but they also have a dignified look on their faces. They’ve been like this since they were young.”
“TSK!”Liu Jianchao immediately glared at his younger brother. Liu Jianchao hurriedly raised his hands when he saw the situation. “Okay, okay, okay. I Won’t say, I won’t say…”
Liu Jianchao sighed, then, he shook his head and said, “Second brother has always been like that since he was young. When he grew up, he walked the path of business. Businessmen pursue profits and lose their minds. These years, he has been doing things without a bottom line. That Wen Hao, who was taught by a seedling… sigh…”
He paused for a moment and then said, “But now, this is also a delaying tactic. Wen Hao has been practicing martial arts since he was young. Many internal martial arts masters say that his aptitude is not bad. I’m afraid that when the time comes, the test will most likely be his spot…”
Liu Jianchao immediately frowned when he heard that. “This is really not a good thing. Wen Hao does things with no bottom line just like his father. He even cheated his own brothers. This is not even considered. Look at the third generation of children being led by him. Each and every one of them is becoming more and more unseemly…”. “…”
“Let’s take it one step at a time…”Liu Jianchao sighed. “If that’s the case, we can’t do anything about it. We can’t afford to offend a family too badly, right?”
“…”
On the other side, Liu Wenhao and his son were sitting in the room with gloomy faces.
After a long silence, Liu Wenhao asked in a deep voice, “Father, what should we do now?”
“What else can we do?”Liu Jianye said in a bad mood, “We’ll test our aptitude later. Don’t you have confidence?”
“It’s not a matter of confidence…”. “…”Liu Wenhao said in a deep voice, “Uncle’s method seems reasonable, but it’s full of loopholes. You should know that we’re all amateurs when it comes to testing our aptitude. We’ll just do whatever others say.” “… if Liu Shiyu, that kid, does something bad in the dark and deliberately goes to the sect to find a senior brother and sister to be an actor, he will say that my aptitude is average, so what can I Do?”
“This…”Liu Jianye was stunned. He felt that what his son said was not unreasonable… …
“So that’s what boss is thinking…”Liu Jianye’s expression suddenly became more and more gloomy, and then he said, “Wenhao, what do you think we should do now?”
Liu Wenhao: “I mean tomorrow…”
