Chapter 11 Gains Recognition
Elder Xiao Kong's opinion was very pertinent, which set a good precedent for Xiao Feng's proposal. Following the Elder's assessment, the other elders then expressed their own opinions.
"I disagree! We haven't even started yet, and we're already preparing for failure? Isn't that just discouraging ourselves? Do you really have such a low opinion of us? With this time and energy, we should focus on developing the Xiao Clan and strive to crush the other ancient races!"
The Sixth Elder, known for his fiery temper, ignited the entire audience the moment he opened his mouth. If the people in the room hadn't known him well and were familiar with his personality, they probably would have been lying on the ground by now.
Clearly, not everyone agreed with Xiao Feng's proposal. Regardless of the reasons, it was undeniable that it was rejected. Will his proposal succeed?
"My opinion is completely opposite to that of the Sixth Elder. In my view, Xiao Feng's ideas are all excellent. After all, what we are about to do is of great importance, concerning the fate of the entire Xiao clan. We cannot be careless about this matter, nor can we afford any mistakes. Making more preparations is always a good thing, otherwise we will regret it too late once something happens. At that time, we will probably face the annihilation of the Xiao clan!"
"Xiao Feng's ability to propose such an idea clearly demonstrates his far-sightedness. Furthermore, he makes no attempt to conceal his purpose, which is what I admire most about him. Who isn't afraid of death? Even I fear death, but for the sake of the Xiao Clan, we are willing to face it. He is able to consider the gains and losses of the Xiao Clan while also taking his own needs into account, clearly showing that his heart is with the Xiao Clan." The only female elder among the eight elders of the Xiao Clan, the Seventh Elder, replied calmly.
Her words fully praised Xiao Feng's thoughts and character, demonstrating her admiration for him.
"Xiao Ling, you still don't dare to think too far ahead. Wealth is a powerful motivator. With all the cultivation techniques, fighting skills, and rare treasures of the Xiao clan at your disposal, who wouldn't be tempted? Moreover, by then, he will be the only one at the Dou Sheng realm. Even if he wants to do something, no one can stop him, or no one will dare to stop him. At that time, this backup plan prepared for my Xiao clan will become Xiao Feng's private territory," said Eighth Elder Xiao Qingtian.
Although Xiao Qingtian's words were somewhat exaggerated, if you think about it from another perspective, Xiao Feng was just a familiar stranger to them. They didn't have much contact with him on a daily basis, so it's understandable that they had such a guarded mind. As the old saying goes, "You can't be too careful, but you shouldn't have the heart to harm others!"
"Foolish! How can you say such a thing, Qingtian? Xiao Feng is a member of my Xiao clan, and his loyalty is unwavering. If he knew that we doubted him like this, how would he feel?" Elder Xiao Kong reprimanded.
Perhaps realizing his tone had been a bit too harsh, he paused, then continued, "Since it can come up with so many things, it must have put thought into this. Doesn't that prove something? Otherwise, it could have simply walked away or even concealed its true purpose instead of prioritizing the bigger picture!"
Seeing the ongoing argument among the crowd, the Second Elder, Xiao Qitian, offered his suggestion: "Since everyone has their own opinions and cannot persuade others, why don't we raise our hands to vote, with the minority submitting to the majority?"
"First of all, let me make it clear that we are all doing this for the sake of the Xiao clan, and we must not let this momentary dispute cause a conflict to break out!"
"Yes," "Okay,"... Xiao Qitian's suggestion was approved by everyone.
"Then I'll state my opinion first: I support Xiao Feng," Xiao Kong said. "I also support Xiao Feng," the Second Elder, Seventh Elder, and Fifth Elder all expressed their support for Xiao Feng.
"I disagree!" said the Fourth Elder, Sixth Elder, and Eighth Elder. Surprisingly, the Fifth Elder, Xiao Yuelin, did not explicitly express his opinion; he had clearly chosen to abstain.
"Four to three. As we said before, let's choose to support Xiao Feng. After all, as he said, there is no one more suitable than him in the Xiao clan."
After Xiao Kong's words of comfort, the other elders had no choice but to accept the reality. Thus, the eight elders of the Xiao clan reached a consensus—to agree to Xiao Feng's proposal!
Xiao Feng, who was still diligently cultivating, was completely unaware that his suggestion had succeeded, and that he would face unknown new challenges as a result!
After the other elders had left, the First Elder Xiao Kong asked Xiao Xuan, "What does the clan leader think of Xiao Feng?"
"Mysterious, as if she were completely shrouded in mist." As she spoke, she looked into the distance, as if she were seeing the scene of her conversation with Xiao Feng again.
"What about this matter?"
"Kewei, I believe in him! Although I don't know why he doesn't think highly of me, this matter is indeed of great help to the Xiao clan."
"Even if something really happens, I believe that with his intelligence, he won't let me down!" Another low voice entered Xiao Kong's ears.
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on his face. "I hope Xiao Feng won't disappoint the clan leader."
...
"Really?" Xiao Feng looked at Xiao Xuan with surprise and delight. "Yes, I hope you won't disappoint me or the Xiao Clan!" Xiao Xuan gave him an affirmative answer.
"Rest assured, Clan Chief, Xiao Feng hereby swears that the Xiao Clan bloodline will never be extinguished!"
"good!"
Over the next period of time, Xiao Xuan took Xiao Feng to various regions of the Dou Qi Continent. The Dou Qi Continent was so vast that finding a suitable place was quite difficult. As the proposer of this idea, it was naturally best to bring him along. Xiao Feng also got to experience the local customs and culture of different regions of the Dou Qi Continent and gained a deeper understanding of the continent.
The search process was always tedious, so Xiao Xuan began to teach Xiao Feng, treating him as his successor, imparting all his experience and fighting techniques. Xiao Feng was overjoyed, knowing that Xiao Xuan was a peak nine-star Dou Sheng, one of the strongest in the Dou Qi Continent, and his experience and teachings were extremely valuable.
To receive meticulous instruction from a peak nine-star Dou Sheng expert is an honor perhaps reserved only for their children.
Take the Xiao clan, for example; out of tens of millions of members, how many have actually seen Xiao Xuan and spoken with him?
Let alone been instructed by him—Xiao Feng is the first in history to do so!
