C5 Where to go from here

The clan elders all looked at the patriarch, whispering to each other.

"I never thought that Fang Yuntian's son, Fang Qing, would actually be a trash.

"Some of the other children in our clan can at least summon a four or five-star Chen Ling. This proves that Fang Qing's talent is not suitable to continue cultivating."

"That's right, such a trash Fang Family descendant is simply the shame of our Fang Family. Even if Fang Qing were to continue cultivating, it would be a waste of our Fang Family's resources."

"That's right, according to the Fang family's rules, if a younger generation member is unable to become a Soul Controller, if their talent is not sufficient, they would be sent to the Hall of Affairs. From what I see, with Fang Qing's performance today, he should not be able to escape from such a fate."

"That may be the case, but Fang Qing is after all, the son of the Patriarch. If he were to be transferred to the Hall of Affairs, I'm afraid the Fang Family Patriarch will lose face."

"So what? If it wasn't for the Fang family's patriarch's second son, Fang Lie, being able to summon the January Spirit Thunder Flame Beast, I'm afraid that Fang Yuntian's status would not be safe this time."

Everyone chatted softly as they raised their heads to look at Patriarch Fang Yuntian who was sitting upright. They lowered their voices as much as possible so that Fang Yuntian wouldn't hear what they were saying.

Fang Yuntian was dressed in a long white robe, had a crown on his head, and had a full beard. He looked middle-aged, with a pair of sword-like eyebrows piercing into his temples, his two big eyes were bright and clear, shining brightly.

"Elders." Fang Yuntian looked at them and spoke, signalling for them to be quiet.

Hearing Fang Yuntian's words, everyone stopped talking and turned to look at Fang Yuntian, not saying a word.

Seeing that the crowd had quieted down, Fang Yuntian continued to speak, "I believe everyone is clear about what happened today. The son of the Fang family, Fang Qing, was able to summon the unranked Chen Ling during the test.

As soon as his voice fell, a few elders stepped out of the hall to express their opinions.

"Patriarch, I feel that Fang Qing summoning the unranked Chen Ling is indeed surprising. According to our Fang family rules, since the heir is unable to become a Soul Controller, then there is no need to waste the Fang family's cultivation resources, so, what I mean is, we should transfer Fang Qing to the Hall of Affairs, stop cultivating, and do not waste the Fang family's cultivation resources."

Patriarch, the Fang family's resources are limited, and can't afford to waste so much resources. But Fang Qing's performance today shows that he isn't suitable to become a Soul Controller, so I agree that Fang Qing should head to the Hall of Affairs and stop cultivating.

"Patriarch, although Fang Qing is your son, but according to the rules of the family, as long as he is a descendant of the Fang family, he has to follow the rules. So, please make the decision, Patriarch."

"Yeah, Fang Qing's Innate Ability isn't that good, and he's already the lowest level of existence in the entire family. Even if he were to continue cultivating, there wouldn't be any achievements. It might also affect his temperament, so I think it's better to transfer him to the Hall of Affairs first. "

Because there were people who felt that Fang Qing's Innate Ability was not good, and even if he wanted to cultivate in the future, he would not be able to become a Soul Controller.

However, there were some elders who had watched Fang Qing grow up. Relying on his character and ways of handling affairs, it was indeed a pity, and even a little unbearable to transfer him to the Hall of Affairs. Therefore, they all came out to plead for mercy.

"Patriarch, you can't. Although Fang Qing summoned the Seamless Chen Spirit today, according to my observation, he has never slacked off in his cultivation, and as the saying goes, he can make up for it with his hard work. So, I think it's a bit inappropriate to give him up just like that."

"That's right, Patriarch, you can't! I basically watched this Fang Qing grow up, with his temperament and style of doing things, he will definitely become someone great in the future, why don't we give him a chance and see if a miracle happens? "

"Patriarch, Fang Qing is your own son. Even if he is unable to summon the normal Chen Ling, could it be that you have the heart to transfer him to the Hall of Affairs? If that's really the case, then Fang Qing will really have no fate with the Soul Controller in this lifetime.

The Great Elder's name was Fang Hongming, and he wore a purplish-red robe with a three-goatee. He looked at the people around him with a cold expression and snorted coldly, "Although Fang Qing is the son of the Patriarch, he is still a descendant of the Fang Family, so it's not possible for him to have no rules. Since he is a descendant of the Fang Family, he has to follow the rules and must go to the Hall of Affairs as long as he is unable to become a member of the Soul Controller, so it's better to follow the rules."

After hearing what Grand Elder Fang Hongming said, everyone shut up and looked towards the Patriarch, wanting to hear what the Patriarch had to say.

Fang Yuntian looked at the crowd, his face as dark as water, and said coldly: "Alright, since that's the case, then let's call Fang Qing over. I will make the decision myself."

With that, Fang Yuntian had one of the Fang family's servants call Fang Qing over, and was prepared to transfer him to the Hall of Affairs. With this, he would be able to give everyone a proper explanation, and only make things difficult for his own son. Although Fang Yuntian could not bear it, there was nothing he could do, if he did not do this, he would not be able to convince the masses.

Besides, there was still someone watching his position as the head of the family from the shadows. If the things he did were to go slightly wrong, then he might lose his future position and the unity of the Fang family would not be good for him.

When Fang Qing arrived at the back of the mountain, just as he was about to start cultivating, a servant rushed over from the distance and cupped his hands towards Fang Qing: "Young Master Fang Qing, the Patriarch has requested for you, please follow me."

Hearing his words, Fang Qing could not help but frown. In his heart, he knew that if his father were to find him now, it would definitely not be good.

"Got it, lead the way."

"Yes!" The servant replied, then led the way in Fang Qing's direction, bringing Fang Qing towards the Fang family's main hall.

Not long after, Fang Qing followed the house servant and arrived at the great hall.

"The son of the Fang family, Fang Qing, greets the Patriarch and the elders." Fang Qing was very polite, he came to the great hall and cupped his hands to greet the crowd.

However, looking at the situation around him, Fang Qing's heart was not so relaxed, because he could clearly feel a kind of pressure within the great hall. It was likely that a war of words was going to break out in the great hall today.
