Take Fourth Elder to the Doctor Quickly Otherwise he will Die!

The meeting hall. A large sign says "The Election of Clan Lord" was hanged in front of the door.

All the important elders and clan members have attended this meeting since morning, The sun is almost set but the result has not yet arrived.

Everyone knows what the conclusion will be, Feng Cheng Hong will replace Feng Zhong Tian as the new Clan Lord of the Feng Clan. It was supposed to be a short and easy meeting, but one man made it really hard to end it. That man was none other than the Clan Lord himself.

"It has been more than 5 years since I took the Clan Lord position, and no has ever complained, but why is it that from the start of the year you people never leave me alone? Furthermore, I've never done anything wrong! I've been a good Clan Lord, and I always prioritize the Feng Clan at the top. Tell me... Tell me... why you want to replace me?"

All the members at the opposing faction frowned. Why do we want to replace you? It is obviously because Cheng Hong is stronger and a better option than you. You lost your son 3 years ago, the only leverage that made you the Clan Lord. Of course, we would want to replace you!

One of the elders said, "The reason we want to replace you is..."

"Do you remember last year!? I've personally obtained spirit stones at a very cheap price. I've negotiated multiple times with that Merchant from the Great Qin Country, all for this Clan. After all that I've done, this is the treatment I get. Besides..."

Feng Zhong Tian immediately interrupts. How could he not? He knew no matter what he said, Cheng Hong and their faction would always have a valid counter-argument. He, himself understood that it is only a matter of time until he lost the Clan Lord position.

Feng Zhong Tian was not dumb. His strategy was not to win but to waste time. He hopes that by being the speaker most of the time, there would be not enough time to go to the voting round. Then, he could suspend the meeting to next week or even next month.

Cheng Hong and his followers were enraged. Feng Zhong Tian has not given them any chance to start talking. They held back not because it's rude, but they have to admit that Feng Zhong Tian really got a big mouth. Once he starts talking, he won't stop with 2 or 3 sentences, he will make sure he at least got 20 sentences.

*cough... cough...*

Feng Zhong Tian immediately looked at the source and replied, "Ah... Fourth Elder are you sick? Why are you coughing so hard?"

The one coughing is none other than the Fourth Elder of the Feng Clan. He was not sick. His mouth didn't feel right and he just wants to clear his throat.

"No... No... I'm not..."

"Fourth Elder, you should rest, you're an important member of the Feng Clan, no one will be happy if you're sick!"

Feng Zhong Tian saw a chance and he would not let it go. Of course, he knew that the Fourth Elder is fine. However, if he could divert the attention, then more time would be wasted. With luck, he could even suspend the meeting directly.

"We have no choice but to suspend this meeting! Take Fourth Elder to the doctor quickly otherwise he will die!"

This again! Not only Cheng Hong's faction but also the Neutral faction were enraged. Feng Zhong Tian was really good at making excuses. This was the only reason he was still the Clan Lord for the last 2 years.

Like this morning, the fat guard, Qian Lu was snoring. When the First Young Master gave the order to kill the Qian Qian, Feng Zhong Tian vigorously defended them. But, who did not know that the main reason Feng Zhong Tian helping them was because to waste time.

This time someone is coughing and he calls it sick. During the last meeting, someone sneezed and he called it a plague. The one before that is even more ridiculous, someone farted and he said somebody just released a poison gas.

Initially, Feng Zhong Tian was a tall and burly man who specialized in defence martial arts. When he defended his position as Clan Lord, his prowess was even higher than when he was fighting.

"Enough!"

The One who shouts was the First Elder. Naturally, the First Elder was from the Neutral faction and was also the most respected elder in the Feng Clan. He was calm and patient, nothing ever makes him angry. However, this is the first time they ever saw the First Elder shouted like that. Feng Zhong Tian must have broken the First Elder's limit.

"This is getting nowhere! The Fourth Elder is not sick! Let's start the voting right away!"

Feng Zhong Tian said, "First Elder..."

"Shut up!"

Feng Zhong Tian immediately closed his mouth. He looked like he wants to cry. The First Elder was the judge in this meeting, whatever he says will go.

[Is this it? Is this where it would end? Why would the First Elder snap at such time?]

Feng Cheng Hong was grinning widely. He never thought such luck would arrive. In the previous meetings, they never proceed to the voting round. Now that it has arrived, his position is guaranteed.

The First Elder spoke slowly, "If you'd like Zhong Tian to stay as the Clan Lord, raise your hand."

Only Feng Zhong Tian and the members of his faction raised their hands. However, compared to the number of Feng Cheng Hong's faction they were too little.

"17 votes!", said the First Elder indifferently. "Let's begin the voting for the next candidate."

Cheng Hong's faction could not wait to raise their hands.

The members of the Neutral faction would also choose Cheng Hong, simply because Cheng Hong was the better man. More importantly, they could not wait to end this meeting. They have been sitting quietly since the morning, nothing would satisfy them more than to go home and sleep.

"Those who want Cheng Hong to be the new Clan Lord, please ra..."

"Second Young Master is back!! Second Young Master is back!!"

A guard rushed to the meeting while shouting.

"What!? Who's back?" asked the First Elder.

The guard immediately kneels, "It's the Second Young Master!"

"Which Second Young Master?" the First Elder could not help but ask. He was confused since the Second Young Master is already dead.

"It's our Second Young Master! It's Young Master Feng Ao Xiu!"

Hearing the guard's response, the entire room is baffled.

"What!? Feng Ao Xiu!"

"Isn't he supposed to be dead!?"

"What's happening here!?"

Feng Zhong Tian becomes the happiest person alive. Feng Ao Xiu, his son, the only achievement he made in his life is still alive. His future prospect will be guaranteed.

The most frustrated one was Feng Cheng Hong. If Feng Ao Xiu is really alive, he could not be the Clan Lord. However, he still has some hope, the Feng Ao Xiu's matter has not been confirmed yet. He needs to be the Clan Lord right away and take care of Feng Ao Xiu later.

"First Elder, what to do now?", said another elder whispering to him.

The First Elder was shocked. Only until that elder called him that he got a hold of himself.

Unfortunately, with the news of the return of Feng Ao Xiu, things are not simple anymore. With Feng Ao Xiu still alive, the preferred Clan Lord is Feng Zhong Tian, but he could not be sure until he saw Feng Ao Xiu himself.

"Hmm..."

The First Elder could only be silent while crossing his arms. He was racking his brain on what to do here. If he continues with the voting, Feng Cheng Hong will be the Clan Lord because the member of Cheng Hong's faction were larger than Zhong Tian's. He could not let that happen.

One of the options available would be to let Feng Zhong Tian continue as the Clan Lord. If somehow, the return of Feng Ao Xiu turned out to be false, they could always schedule another meeting. But, to do that a revote would be needed.

Supposedly he was to ask for a revote, then Feng Cheng Hong and their faction would definitely make a fuss, "Why would we need to have a revote? Feng Zhong Tian already got his vote, It is our turn now."

He could offend Feng Cheng Hong if Feng Ao Xiu was still alive. Yet, if the rumour turned out to be false, he could not afford to offend the future Clan Lord.

Thinking about it only made him more confused.

First Elder, "..."

Silence illuminates the room.

Feng Zhong Tian said, "First Elder, since the voting got interrupted, let's do it again from the start."

First Elder, "Hmmm..."

Feng Cheng Hong said, "First Elder, please continue the voting."

First Elder, "Hmmm..."

Everyone was paying close attention to the First Elder.

*cough... cough...*

Suddenly, the Fourth Elder coughed once again.

"The Fourth Elder is sick!"

The one who said that is the First Elder. He continued, "We have no choice but to suspend this meeting! Take Fourth Elder to the doctor quickly otherwise he will die!"

Everyone else, "..."
