Chapter 46: Expulsion

Although it is said that one does not strike a smiling face.

But Bai Sheng was truly angry, and with a cold face, he said:

"Happy? Who was it just now who said that Yang Yu treated me differently? That Yang Yu didn't respect me?"

Bai Qiang said: "I was only doing that for the sake of my younger brother's face."

Ning Wushuang said unhappily: "Then what about now? Old Sheng received a more expensive gift, is it my turn to lose face again?"

Bai Qiang said awkwardly: "Uh, it wouldn't go that far..."

Bai Sheng said angrily: "I respect you as my elder brother, and originally did not want to quibble with you. But you have repeatedly suppressed Yang Yu and attempted to ruin the marriage. If I don't do something, there is no need for me to continue as Family Head!"

"What, what does my younger brother want? I was merely being blunt!"

Bai Qiang's brows also shot up.

No matter what, he was a Clan Elder, and he had only committed this minor mistake, so why take it to such an extreme?

Yet unexpectedly.

Bai Sheng's expression was solemn, and he said coldly: "You, this Clan Elder, no longer need to serve!"

"What?!"

Bai Qiang was greatly shocked.

He had thought the Family Head was simply angry, but he did not expect him to directly strip him of his position as Clan Elder.

However, Bai Qiang was not too panicked, and continued:

"Bai Sheng, don't go too far! You are the Family Head, but the Bai Family is not your personal fiefdom. The appointment and removal of a Clan Elder requires a vote!"

Seeing this, Yang Yu could not help but ask Bai Zhi: "Is your Bai Family this democratic? You even have to vote?"

Bai Zhi whispered:

"In such a large family, the Family Head alone cannot manage everything. Moreover, the Clan Elders are all very powerful and prestigious; the Family Head cannot completely ignore their opinions."

"For some important decisions, the Family Head and the Clan Elders must vote together. The Bai Family has eight Clan Elders, plus the Family Head, totaling nine people."

"The removal of a Clan Elder is a very major decision, and it requires at least five votes in support to pass."

Yang Yu nodded: "Such rules are quite reasonable."

"Fine, fine, fine. Since all the Clan Elders are here, there is no need to hold a separate clan meeting; let's vote right here on the spot."

Bai Sheng had made up his mind and looked at the Clan Elders.

"Family Head, this matter is sudden; we must consider it."

Several Clan Elders looked at each other, not knowing which side to take for the moment.

Bai Sheng said: "Then I will give you all half an incense stick of time. After half an incense stick, we will vote; those who do not vote will be considered as abstaining."

"This..."

"This is hard to handle."

"What should we do?"

Several Clan Elders began to whisper among themselves.

Of course, they also understood that Bai Qiang was indeed a bit excessive.

But to strip him of his status as a Clan Elder because of this seemed unnecessary.

Yet the Family Head's attitude was so firm.

It was very troublesome.

"Hmph!" Bai Qiang stood up indignantly and said, "Bai Sheng, I see you are just looking for an excuse to sideline me! Fellow Clan Elders, you must be cautious. If you vote me out today, perhaps next time it will be yourselves!"

The remaining seven Clan Elders looked at Bai Sheng one after another.

Bai Sheng laughed out loud and said: "I want to sideline you? You really think too highly of yourself!"

Bai Qiang sneered: "What, could it be that you are really doing this for Yang Yu? Heh, I don't understand; this Yang Yu is just a mountain village boy, completely unremarkable, is it worth it for you to fawn over him so much? You're practically groveling!"

"Unremarkable? He is the new Sword Master, and you say he is unremarkable?"

Bai Sheng said loudly.

Regarding Yang Yu drawing the sword, he had originally not wanted to mention it.

After all, Yang Yu himself had not said anything.

If a junior knows how to be low-key, he, as an elder, should even less be showing off everywhere.

But he could not stand Bai Qiang's face!

He could not hold it in.

He wanted all the clansmen to know how outstanding this son-in-law was!

"What kind of nonsense, new Sword Master?"

Bai Qiang was stunned for a moment, not understanding at all.

The other clansmen were also somewhat suspicious:

"Sword Master? What Sword Master?"

"Speaking of swords, the most famous one in Ning City is the one on the Divine Sword Platform, right?"

"Only the owner of that Divine Sword is worth mentioning."

"Wait, could it be..."

Bai Sheng said proudly:

"That's right, the Divine Weapon that has slept on the Divine Sword Platform for a thousand years has been drawn by Yang Yu! Such a person, who dares to say he is unremarkable? Who dares to say he is unworthy of being my son-in-law?"

Instantly, the atmosphere in the hall boiled over.

"What?!"

"He drew the Divine Sword?"

"For a thousand years, countless geniuses have failed to do it; he actually did it?"

"If that's the case, how heaven-defying must his talent be?"

"Can this be true? It's just too incredible."

The crowd was either shocked or skeptical, their gazes all fixed upon Yang Yu.

Bai Sheng said: "Yang Yu, there are still some who don't believe it. How about... taking out the Divine Sword and letting them see for themselves?"

"Alright."

Yang Yu sighed lightly.

He originally didn't want to show off.

But since his father-in-law had already set the stage, it wouldn't be appropriate not to.

Swoosh!

Immediately, Yang Yu took the Taixu Divine Sword out from his Space Ring.

The moment the Divine Sword appeared, the air in the entire hall seemed to grow a few degrees colder.

A cold glint flashed across the silver-gray blade.

It actually made people feel an instinctive palpitation...

Most of the people present had been to the Divine Sword Platform and seen the Divine Sword.

But they had only seen the hilt exposed on the outside.

This was the first time they had seen the full appearance of the Divine Sword.

The mysterious patterns on the hilt extended all the way to the tip, as if containing endless energy.

Yang Yu just waved it casually, and it emitted an unrivaled aura.

Some of the clansmen with lower cultivation even trembled a little, not daring to look directly at it.

A Divine Weapon left behind by an Emperor Realm powerhouse is truly terrifying...

"Th-this..."

"It really is the Divine Sword."

"The Divine Sword has actually emerged!"

"Great, this is great; this is also a massive stroke of fortune for the Bai Family."

"Yang Yu has heaven-sent talent!"

"What a blessing for the Bai Family to have such a son-in-law!"

While shocked, the crowd began to praise Yang Yu one after another, even resorting to flattery.

The master of the Divine Sword!

This title alone was enough to crush all other geniuses.

With this sword, Yang Yu's future would be limitless, and the Bai Family would benefit because of it.

No wonder... the Family Head values Yang Yu so much.

If the Bai Family didn't want such a monstrous son-in-law, there would be plenty of other noble families who would.

"No, no, impossible, how could he possibly pull out the Divine Sword? It must be fake, it's fake!"

Bai Qiang stared fixedly at the sword in Yang Yu's hand, unable to accept it.

Bai Sheng sneered: "Fake? Why don't I let it slash you a few times to test it?"

Bai Qiang shivered subconsciously and didn't dare to respond.

Although he said the sword was fake, deep down he already believed it was real.

The appearance could be forged, but the aura and sword intent of the Divine Sword could absolutely not be replicated...

"Esteemed Clan Elders, prepare to vote."

Bai Sheng scanned the Clan Elders again, his tone indifferent.

Bai Yuanzhong was the first to raise his hand and said: "I support the Family Head's decision."

After a pause, two more people spoke up: "I... also agree."

Bai Qiang grew anxious and shouted: "You, you are all crazy? Just because of this little matter, you want to strip me of my position as a Clan Elder?"
