Chapter 2233 The Battle Of Words At The Banquet (2)

"Hmph! They dare!" When elder Yao Jiu heard this, he jumped up in anger.

"Ninth elder, I feel that what they said might be true!" Seeing that the ninth elder did not believe him, the housekeeper could not help but express his opinion in a low voice. Of course, his words carried little weight, and the ninth elder would definitely not accept it!

"What did they say? tell me everything from the beginning!" Elder Yao Jiu became serious as he spoke.

The Butler nodded his head and then, from the beginning to the end, he described everything in detail. After he finished, he even looked at elder Yao Jiu carefully and a.s.sured him again and again that he was not lying and that he did not exaggerate anything!

"Rest well for a while. I'm going to see master ning. When you're done resting, go back and keep an eye on master ning and the others!" Elder Yao Jiu said after some thought after hearing the housekeeper's words.

"Yes!" Looking at the ninth elder's serious face, even if a certain Butler really wanted to tell him not to go back and serve those people, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Then, a certain Butler watched as elder Yao Jiu left.

After elder Yao Jiu left, he immediately went to see his family head and reported what the Butler had said.

After hearing this, the head of the Yao family was so angry that he jumped three times high! There were still faint flames burning on his body.

He was still cursing,"d.a.m.n it!" 'd.a.m.n old things, do they dare to try?' I'm not done with them!"

Hearing his family head's seemingly self-consoling words, elder Yao Jiu couldn't help but think to himself,'family head, if you're really not afraid of them, why are you so angry? You're clearly too concerned!

Of course, he didn't dare to say this out loud. Otherwise, the master's anger would be directed at him!

But there were some things that he had to say!

After thinking for a while and coming up with the right words, elder Yao Jiu turned to the head of the Yao family and said with a serious expression,""Patriarch, now that the patriarchs of the other seven families have arrived, I'm afraid that it won't be enough for me to receive them. If they think that our Yao family has neglected them, it will affect the meeting between the Eight Families, which will be quite disadvantageous for us! So ..."

"You mean, you want me to personally receive them?" Even though elder Yao Jiu didn't finish his words, the Yao family head understood the moment he heard it.

Elder Yao Jiu felt helpless when he saw the reluctance on the Yao family head's face. However, he still braced himself and said,""The other party is the head of each family. With such a lineup, only you, the head of the family, can show our sincerity. Otherwise, if we cause their dissatisfaction, I'm afraid the purpose of our meeting this time will be obstructed."

In reality, this was elder Yao Jiu's implicit statement. There were some truths that he couldn't say directly in front of the family head. Otherwise, the family head would definitely go crazy. Therefore, he could only hope that the family head wouldn't be so reserved and that it was time for him to appear!

After thinking for a long time, the head of the Yao family, who knew that the ninth elder's words were very reasonable, finally agreed helplessly. Although he was a thousand, ten thousand times unwilling to entertain those cunning old foxes, but since they were invited, as the master, he couldn't just not show his face!

Speaking of which, he didn't expect that the other seven family heads would come in person! With that, the original arrangement would naturally have to be raised!

The next day.

After a long nap, master Yao finally set up a banquet in the banquet hall to entertain master ning and the others.

During the banquet, the family heads naturally sat at the main table, while the elders and subordinates who were not poisoned were arranged to sit at the lower seats, accompanied by the great elder and others.

However, because the master of the ning family and the others were all pulling a long face and not saying a word, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was unusually dull.

"Master ning, master Cheng, master Yin, Master Lu, I'm really sorry for the poisoning incident a few days ago." The head of the Yao family glanced at the people at the table before speaking with a sincere expression.

"Yao family head, don't talk about these empty gains, let's talk about how you'll compensate us! The people of our four families can't suffer in vain! In addition, you should also quickly refine the antidote. If this drags on, how long do you plan to drag it out? You can afford to wait, but we can 't. If someone from our four families dies, your Yao family will be the murderer!" After hearing patriarch Yao's words, patriarch Cheng was the first to feel troubled.

"Hehe! The Cheng family head was right. No one died yet. If someone died, it would be too late for you to refine the antidote. Therefore, you must get the compensation and antidote with both hands. We'll be waiting!" The master of the yin family quickly followed.

"Patriarch Yao, if someone from our Lu family dies, I'll suspect that the Yao family has other intentions by inviting us here! So, do as you see fit!" The patriarch of the Lu clan mustered up his courage and expressed his opinion. He knew very well that if he didn't say anything, the other three clans would definitely not interfere in the Lu clan's Affairs. At that time, the Lu clan would have little chance of winning against the Yao clan alone! Therefore, even if he had to offend the Yao family this time, he had to stand on the same side as the ning family, the Cheng family, and the yin family!

"Lu family head, may I ask what is the Yao family's intention?" The Yao family's head could tolerate the Cheng family head and Yin family head's words, but he really couldn't tolerate the Lu family head's words. Hmph! The Lu family was currently ranked second from the bottom in the eight major divine domains, yet they dared to go against the Yao family. They really didn't know their place! He was filled with hatred!

"How would I know? I'll have to ask your Yao family! Why did the families that came before us all get poisoned by your Yao family? isn't this enough to explain the problem?" The patriarch of the Lu family glanced at the patriarch of the Yao family and said in an infuriating manner.

"Yup! Yao family head, why are we all poisoned when we came first? If the other three clans come with us, I wonder if all seven of us will be poisoned?" The head of the Cheng clan also asked curiously.

As soon as they finished speaking, the other three patriarchs immediately focused their gazes on patriarch Yao, all of them waiting for his answer.

Seeing this, the Yao family head's lungs were about to explode!

The Yao family elders 'faces were ugly, but they didn't even dare to breathe!

"How is this possible? Being poisoned was just an accident. " After taking a few deep breaths, the head of the Yao family suppressed his anger and said.

"Impossible? Then may I ask master Yao, why are only the four of us poisoned, but not your Yao clan? Don't tell us that we ate something bad? Hehe! If I'm not wrong, the well water of your Yao family is also poisoned, right? After so many days, this matter should have been cleared up! Can you give us an explanation?" After listening for a long time, the master of the ning family slowly spoke.

Patriarch Yao's face immediately darkened when he heard this, while the other seven patriarchs looked at patriarch Yao in shock.
