    Chapter 290: Sacrifice

    After everyone raised their hands, a strange smile appeared on the middle-aged man sitting in the seat, and no one noticed it.

    "Since everyone agrees to choose another family head, we will now select several family heads' heirs and elect them by voting. The one with the highest support rate will of course be the new family head." An elder said the rules.

    "Third Elder, you are right, but there is no suitable candidate in our family now, except for Zhou Liyuan. Over the years, Lishan has been recovering from illness. Liyuan has taken care of all the family affairs, so Liyuan is the best candidate."  An elder began to propose that the candidate for the position of head of the family was Zhou Liyuan.

    "I think Lishan's daughter, Zhou Ruoxue, is also qualified to compete for the position of head of the family, so he is also a candidate. After all, he is the real direct descendant," another elder said.

    "Isn't Li Yuan a direct descendant? In terms of qualifications, who is more qualified than Li Yuan? He, a yellow-haired girl, will be the head of our family. Do you want our family to be destroyed faster?"

    "But after all, Liyuan and Lishan are not biological brothers," the elder said again.

    "Don't argue anymore. Since someone recommended Zhou Ruoxue, he must have a reason. It doesn't matter whether I am the head of the family or not. The key is that I am deeply depressed when I see the family's increasing orders. Over the years, our channels for obtaining resources have become more and more important.  As the number of people came less and less, I suggested that everyone choose another head of the family, so we should stop arguing." The man in his forties said with a sad expression.

    "Liyuan, we have all seen what you have done in these years. If you had not been supporting this family in these years, I am afraid that the situation at this time would be even more miserable than it is now. So I still support Liyuan being elected as the head of the family. After all,  You have been taking care of the family all these years," an elder said.

    "The third elder is serious. Whatever I do for the family is my responsibility, but it can't stop the family's gradual decline. But as the head of the family, I, Zhou Liyuan, have no virtue or ability." This forty-something man  Zhou Liyuan said modestly.

    "My nephew Li Yuan, please stop being modest. We have all seen your hard work over the years. Don't blame yourself. The decline of the family has nothing to do with you."

    "I propose that Li Yuan be elected as the seventh-generation head of the Zhou family. Do you have any opinions? If you have no opinions, please raise your hands." The elder said to Zhou Liyuan and then said to everyone.

    The youngest elder immediately raised his hand, and raised it high. Then several others also raised their hands. Nearly half of the dozen or so elders present had raised their hands.  Handed.

    The remaining few people who did not raise their hands looked at each other, nodded, and raised their hands. The vote was unanimously approved.

    "Congratulations to my second uncle for being crowned the head of the family. He will definitely lead our Zhou family back to glory and become a first-class family again," a dozen disciples of the Zhou family standing behind Zhou Liyuan said in unison.

    "Absolutely no, I, Zhou Liyuan, don't have the ability to assume the position of the head of the family, so I asked several elders to take back their orders." Zhou Liyuan quickly stood up and refused.

    "Nephew Li Yuan, please don't refuse. Since we all unanimously approved it, the 6th of next month will be a good day. We will hold a family promotion ceremony then, and just ask Zhou Lishan to hand over the family's scepter.  "

    Several other elders also echoed.

    "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey orders. Since the elders think so highly of me, Zhou Liyuan, I will definitely live up to their expectations and bring the Zhou family out of this predicament," Zhou Liyuan said with a sworn tone.

    "Now that the matter has been settled, we will just inform the whole clan when the time comes. Let's calm down for a while for the time being. A few of us will go to Zhou Lishan. After all, he still holds the scepter of the family head in his hand. This  We must go through the procedures. Although it is a scandal to remove a family head, there is no need to delay the formality." An elder stood up and said.

    "The third elder is right. We will go find Zhou Lishan today and explain the matter. I believe Zhou Lishan also understands our difficulties," the fifth elder said.

    After discussing, these people all walked out of this big room, leaving behind the youngest elder and a dozen Zhou family disciples standing behind them.

    "My dear nephew Liyuan, Fourth Elder, do we want to" After the elder finished speaking, he made a downward gesture with his hand.

    "No, I have my own arrangements for this matter. The family cannot make any mistakes for the time being. Although the fourth elder supports Zhou Lishan, it is no longer a problem at this time, so we don't have to care about it. You only need to pay attention to Zhou Lishan's side.  As long as the situation is good." Zhou Liyuan's face changed obviously, and he was more sinister than before.?? expression.

    "I heard from my servants that the young man who came is an inner disciple of Danxuan Sect. Do we have any plans?" the elder asked again.

    "There is no need to do anything for the time being, just let nature take its course. The young man will leave in just a few days, so don't have any bad thoughts. It is best for Danxuan Sect that we do not offend him, and you have to pull the mule properly.  I am a disciple of Danxuan Sect, do you understand?"

    "Understand" the youngest elder actually stopped Zhou Liyuan's words completely.

    "Okay, you go ahead and monitor the situation over there. Are the medicines delivered every day still delivered by our people?"

    "Well, it's always been given by our people."

    "We are increasing the dosage of medicine and trying to kill him within a month." A sinister expression appeared on Zhou Liyuan's face.

    After Chen Xuan returned to the small courtyard carefully prepared for himself, he did not go out. Even at the dust-washing banquet prepared by the current head of the Zhou family in the evening, Chen Xuan only dealt with it hastily and returned.

    Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chen Xuan kept thinking about the toxins in Zhou Lishan's body, and his eyebrows kept furrowing.

    "I see that the poison in Zhou Lishan's body is obviously abnormal, and it is getting worse day by day. Generally, if the body is highly poisoned, as long as it is treated properly, it will slowly get better. After all, the strength of Yuanwu peak is  There, it is already invulnerable to all poisons, and even severe poisons cannot harm the peak Yuanwu in the slightest."

    But at this time, he discovered that this was simply a chronic poison that was slowly eroding his body, so he decided to check on the other party a day later, because Chen Xuan didn't understand why his body was so weak at this time.  There is also such a thing as chronic poison.

    Night gradually came, and it was already the second watch of the night. Chen Xuan's door was lightly knocked. Chen Xuan opened his eyes and then spoke.  "The door is not closed, come in"

    The door was pushed open, and a girl wearing a light yellow transparent gauze skirt walked in. Her hazy body, matched with the light yellow gauze skirt, and the charming dimples on her face, exuded a faint fragrance.  The fragrance suddenly filled Chen Xuan's room.

    "Miss Zhou, what are you"

    "Brother Chen, I know you can cure my father. As long as you promise to cure my father, I will serve Brother Chen from now on." After the girl finished speaking, she took off her goose-yellow gauze skirt.  , a bloody body appeared in front of Chen Xuan.
