Chapter 751: Chapter 363 Better to Be the Head of a Chicken than the Tail of a Phoenix_2
Hearing his own name called by Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family by his side.
Next to Luo Ping was Luo Yao, the designated successor and next Family Head of the Luo Family, who was momentarily stunned.
After a moment of silence, he slowly raised his head.
His expression seemed somewhat stiff as he gazed in the direction of Luo Ping, the Family Head beside him.
“Fa, Family Head…”
“What is it?”
Luo Ping forced a somewhat unattractive smile onto his face.
Although he was very clear.
That old man, the Family Head, was definitely not looking for him for anything good.
But as the successor and the next Family Head of the Luo Family.
As a member of the Luo Family.
He couldn’t pretend as if he hadn’t heard.
Thus, even with great reluctance.
Luo Yao still had to temporarily stop his work at hand, transferring his gaze to Luo Ping, the Family Head beside him, and then ask with utmost respect.
This was the standard procedure.
“There’s something…”
“I believe you need to take care of it.
“What do you think?”
Inside the room, Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, sat at the head of the table.
A calm smile gradually appeared on his face.
Looking at him at this moment.
It seemed as if he were consulting with Luo Yao about the matter.
However, as the designated successor and next Family Head of the Luo Family, Luo Yao had no choice but to accept.
“What matter?”
“As long as it’s something assigned by you, Family Head.”
“I will be sure to handle it very properly.”
Luo Yao slightly lowered his head.
He spoke earnestly.
“A few days ago, a family with the surname Qin aligned itself with the Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty, bringing along three cities.”
“You go and handle this matter with the Qin Family.”
Luo Ping said in a low voice.
Luo Yao furrowed his brows slightly when he heard this.
A look of surprise gradually emerged in his eyes.
“What’s the matter?”
“Is there a problem?”
Seeing such an expression on Luo Yao’s face,
Luo Ping, sitting in the head seat, narrowed his eyes slightly.
Luo Yao simply shook his head silently, speaking in a low voice, somewhat puzzled, “I just don’t quite understand why, at this time, there would be family powers willing to defect directly to the side of the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family.”
“If it had been earlier, then that would be one thing.”
“But after our Luo Family has slaughtered at least a dozen great family powers, when a large number of family powers have chosen to watch in silence.”
“Why would the Qin Family make such a choice?”
“It really seems, somewhat unwise.”
Luo Yao bowed his head silently, frowning and contemplating to himself, he spoke in a low voice.
Meanwhile, Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, who sat beside Luo Yao,
smiled faintly after listening to these words, speaking softly, “Cultivating is an absolutely cruel and realistic thing, this Xuanyuan Continent is exceedingly cold and offers no glimpse of the future.”
“Yes, a family, or rather, a cultivator family.”
“To have survived to this day and developed to their current extent.”
“Not one is truly foolish.”
“But you, boy, must also understand one thing…
“This world is never short of gamblers.”
“Before the Da Feng Dynasty’s three Great Millennium Families took any action,
“those families that chose to sit back and observe did so as a very normal decision.”
“But after the three major family powers, known as the three Great Millennium Families within the Da Feng Dynasty, decided to take part in this struggle, and also stood on the side of the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family,
“those family powers within our range began to grow restless.”
“This, too, is a very normal phenomenon.”
“In fact, those who have moved in their hearts, wishing to defect to the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family again, or rather, those family powers, are not in the minority.”
“Only the Qin Family has done what many others still hesitate over in their hearts, too afraid to do.”
Having said this,
Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family sitting at the head of the room, then gradually picked up a document he had yet to review.
He opened it and began to leaf through it slowly.
Even as he looked on,
he poured himself a cup of hot tea without a thought.
It seemed that he had spoken a bit too much just now,
which had left him feeling somewhat parched.
So, he wanted to drink some tea
to moisten his throat.
Meanwhile, Luo Yao had already turned away,
silently leaving the room where people were busy tending to political affairs with their heads bowed.
…
After exiting the room,
Luo Yao took some time to prepare in advance.
Then, he quickly left the Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Of course, before leaving,
Luo Yao also visited the place where Luo Ze, that young lad, practiced his swordsmanship exclusively.
It seemed he intended to take the boy with him to wander outside,
to handle the tasks assigned by the Family Head while also taking the opportunity to look around—it would not be a bad idea.
However, what followed
was something Luo Yao, the upcoming Family Head of the Luo Family, had not anticipated.
When he found Luo Ze,
the boy actually told him he did not want to leave.
He wanted to stay in the clan land, to diligently refine his swordsmanship and temperament.
Receiving such a response, Luo Yao had no choice but to leave alone, taking with him only a few Shadow Guards trained by Elder Changfeng
and some guards nurtured by the family.
With these two forces, he departed from the vast Qingshi City,
toward the direction of the so-called New Qin Family.
He was quite curious about the Qin Family, who dared to openly take three cities and lean towards the Da Feng Dynasty’s Imperial Feng Family.
What kind of family they were.
He only hoped that the Qin Family would not disappoint him,
otherwise, it would be quite a bore.
…
In the depths of the Luo Family Clan land in Qingshi City,
there was a small courtyard that always emanated a mysterious and ancient aura.
At this moment, Luo Changfeng, the Ancestor of the Luo Family,
was sitting quietly under an ordinary Stone Pavilion,
chatting with the old fellow Fu Qiu in front of him while sipping tea from the cup in his hand.
“What do you think that old fellow in the White Brahma Temple is up to?”
“With the achievements of that Sky-float Boat,”
“he has already earned the qualification to enter the main temple of the White Brahma Temple in the Northern Desolate Divine Continent.”
“Yet, under such circumstances, the old fellow from the White Brahma Temple still chose to return to this land.”
“What do you think is on that old fellow’s mind?”
Luo Changfeng silently sipped the tea in his hand.
It wasn’t until they had been sitting silently under the pavilion for a long time
that Luo Changfeng asked the old fellow Fu Qiu in front of him in a low voice.
“What is he thinking?”
The old fellow Fu Qiu, dressed in an inconspicuous black robe, heard this and showed a slightly comical smile on his aged face, whispering, “Perhaps, that old fellow has grown too accustomed to being high above the rest, so… he finds it difficult to accept the feeling of being beneath others?”
Fu Qiu spoke casually with a slight smile,
after all, isn’t there an old saying that goes, ‘better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix?’
In the territory of the Royal Feng Family of the Da Feng Dynasty, on this small piece of land, that old fellow could be high above others,
with many monks following his orders.
Such a life, isn’t it blissful?
But if he were to really step into the main temple of the White Brahma Temple in the Northern Desolate Divine State,
forget being any kind of phoenix tail,

that old fellow probably wouldn’t even qualify to be a tiny and insignificant feather amongst the phoenix’s tail.
Therefore, under such circumstances, it’s not particularly surprising for the old fellow from the White Brahma Temple to come back.
