However, unlike the servant boy, Gao Siya did not show any anger at all, she was just a little dazed.
In fact, based on Han Feiyu's attitude yesterday, Gao Siya originally thought that there might be little hope that the Han family would agree.
But she still had a glimmer of hope.
However, the facts she heard today shattered her fantasy instantly and made it difficult for her to accept it.
“Alas, even the Han family is concerned about the devil and is unwilling to lend a helping hand?
If this is the case, when the demon child is born in the future, the world will be in chaos and the people will suffer. How can I fulfill the last wish I promised my teacher?"
She sighed subconsciously, but she was extremely disappointed in her heart.
……
……
At the same time, in the main hall of the Han family, the Han family members, who had been arguing for a long time, seemed to have reached a consensus on certain aspects.
This is how negotiations and arguments work. Unless there are irreconcilable conflicts, both parties will eventually find common ground or compromise with each other and reach a consensus.
The consensus among the Han family is that everything is done to benefit the Han family.
So, from the perspective of the Han family's interests, should we agree to the request made by Master Gao?
The answer is obvious.
The Han family already has a lot of troubles of their own, and there is no way they would offend another big force for the sake of an irrelevant person at this moment.
Besides, even if you agree, it's just giving the other party face, and there is no other benefit.
Furthermore, although the Immortal Emperor stood behind Gao Siya, her search for the Demon Child obviously did not have the support of the Immortal Emperor, otherwise she would not have come alone.
Therefore, there is no need to worry that by rejecting Gao Siya, one will offend the Immortal Emperor.
the most important is……
“Now that the Sword Sect incident has just concluded, it is a time of turmoil. Although the Sword Sect incident has not been released yet, once it is leaked, it will definitely cause panic among the other five sects in Tianhai.
By then, the five major holy places and the imperial court might also send people to inquire, so we should keep a low profile during this period and try not to cause any trouble...
Of course, we don't have to reject Gao Siya directly. We can report the matter to the Immortal Emperor for his instructions.
Putting aside whether the Immortal Emperor would agree to this matter, Tianhai Province is more than 100,000 miles away from Zhongzhou.
The Immortal Emperor’s order won’t come down for at least a month or two, so we can use this as an excuse to delay…”
In the end, it was Han Mo's third great-uncle Han Wuque who stood up and said, "The Han family has just annexed the Sword Sect, and it is not appropriate to create unnecessary trouble." He also proposed a compromise and successfully persuaded both parties to the dispute.
"Uncle San is right."
"Third uncle is the one who thought it through carefully. I didn't think it through before."
In this way, the debate seemed to have come to an end because of Han Wuque's compromise proposal.
only……
For some inexperienced people, compromise may be an excellent suggestion to avoid hurting the feelings of both parties and to save each other's face.
But for someone who had anticipated this and even listened...
Sometimes, compromise is often more hypocritical and more hurtful.
At least, that's what Gao Siya thinks.
It would be fine if the Han family didn't agree, but they had to come up with such a method to delay. It's really hypocritical.
Therefore, Gao Siya closed her eyes in disappointment and sighed softly.
Seeing this scene, the servant who had served her for many years naturally guessed something.
"Master Taifu, the Han family really still hasn't agreed?"
She observed his expression and asked cautiously.
Gao Siya did not reply. At this moment, she was completely disappointed with the Han family.
It's a pity that she had always opposed His Majesty the Immortal Emperor's new policy of reducing the number of fans.
Some people think it is too radical, because according to the Confucian philosophy of governing a country: a monarch should rule the world with benevolence and virtue, and should use both kindness and severity in everything, rather than simply suppressing others.
Oh, never mind!
"Master Taifu, please don't be sad..."
The book boy naturally saw Gao Siya's disappointment and loss. Although she was angry at the moment and felt sorry for the Grand Tutor, she still tried to comfort him:
"Why don't we think of other ways? Maybe there are other ways."
"Oh, never mind, let's go..."
Gao Siya sighed again, feeling somewhat bored.
So he simply decided not to wait for the Han family's reply and prepared to call his servant to leave the Han family directly...
"Oh, okay, Master Taifu." The servant boy agreed quickly.
However, just as Gao Siya turned around and had not yet raised her foot, she suddenly stopped.
Then, he just stood there stupidly.
"Master Taifu, what's wrong with you?"
The servant girl couldn't help but feel a little strange. She had just agreed and was about to leave the Han family with the Grand Tutor, but why did the Grand Tutor suddenly stop moving?
……
At the same time, in the main hall of the Han family.
Seeing that the debate had stopped and everyone seemed to have reached a consensus, Han Feiyu nodded and asked:
"It seems that everyone agrees with Uncle San's proposal."
After these words were spoken, everyone either nodded or remained silent, but no one spoke out to refute them.
Seeing this scene, Han Feiyu nodded slightly. Obviously, he also agreed with Han Wuque's proposal, so he was ready to make the final decision.
But before making the final decision, he still asked a symbolic question:
"In that case, let's do as Uncle San says. Do you all have any objections? If not, then..."
"Father, I object!"
However, before Han Feiyu could finish his words, the person who was originally sitting at the last seat, who was not as senior as the Jindan elders of the Han family and who had never said a word before, suddenly raised his objection.
The person who spoke was naturally Han Mo.
After these words were spoken, Han Mo's aunt Han Mucheng was fine, but the rest of his uncles all frowned.
It’s not that he was displeased that Han Mo, a junior, interrupted in such an occasion.
In fact, as the eldest son of the Han family, Han Mo is qualified to speak at such a family meeting.
only……
At this moment everyone had already decided on the plan and was about to make a decision, but was suddenly interrupted by this kid. Naturally, they were a little dissatisfied.
Fortunately, Han Feiyu quickly responded:
"Oh, Mo'er, what's your objection?"
Seeing this scene, the uncles and aunts didn't say much, but turned their eyes to Han Mo, wanting to see what objections this usually playboy had.
"I just listened to the discussion among the uncles. Everyone has his own opinion, but they all make sense.
But have you forgotten that this Master Gao Siya is my nephew's palace teacher?"
Facing the surprised and confused looks of the crowd, Han Mo's expression was calm, but his tone was extremely serious.
"Of course I know this. What do you mean by this, Prince? Are you planning to help her because she is your teacher? Is this out of consideration for our old friendship?"
A Jindan elder from the Han family's side branch quickly stepped forward to answer the question, but Han Mo nodded generously:
"You can say that. After all, my nephew's teacher has come to us on his own initiative, but we are still rejecting him. It's a bit inhumane."
However, his words immediately drew a rebuttal from Uncle Wu:
"My nephew, you must not act on impulse. If you agree to Gao Siya's request, you will definitely offend the six sects of the Demonic Path, which will be disadvantageous to my Han family..."
Han Mo immediately replied: "Let's not talk about whether it offends the demons or not. If I were the head of the Han family, I would definitely not sit idly by and watch the demons grow and bring disaster to our Tianhai Province.
Have you ever thought about what might happen if this story about the birth of a demon child is not just a rumor, but a fact?
Moreover, this demon child appeared in the territory of our Tianhai Province. Once he grows up, if he causes any trouble, the first to bear the brunt will be the Han family of our Tianhai Province.
Or do you want to see my Tianhaizhou filled with grief and suffering?
And the teacher came here to solve this problem, in fact, to help Tianhaizhou solve the problem, so we should naturally help him with all our strength."
Han Mo's words were powerful and righteous, as if he was concerned about the billions of lives in Tianhaizhou and could not bear to see them being harmed by the evil ways.
However, his righteous words still received rebuttal:
"My nephew, you are wrong. Even if the matter of the demon child is true, if it really causes any trouble, it is not something that my Han family can solve alone. By then, the Five Sacred Places and the imperial court will most likely need to intervene. Therefore, my Han family does not need to be concerned about this matter."
"Your Highness is really a man who cares about old friendships, but do you know that Gao Siya is a confidant personally promoted by Emperor Zhou? If Emperor Zhou wants to reduce the power of my Han family in the future, Gao Siya will probably be the first to stand up and support...
Or do you think that just relying on your indifferent master-disciple relationship can impress her and make her stand up against Emperor Zhou's new policy of reducing the power of the vassal states?"
"Indeed, the prince is a little too naive..."
It would have been fine if Han Mo didn't speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth he was met with continuous opposition and questioning.
Obviously, all the uncles and aunts felt that Han Mo was thinking too simply. Not only did he not consider their old friendship, but he also thought that he could impress the other party and make him change his position by relying on the relationship between master and disciple. This was really naive.
However, just as Han Mo's uncles and aunts jumped out to object and were about to spark another debate, a lazy female voice suddenly interrupted everyone:
"I think what Han Mo said makes sense. What he meant should be that if we consider our old friendship and help Gao Siya, she will definitely be grateful to us in the future..."
The person who spoke was Han Mo's cousin, Han Muqing, who had remained silent before.
She didn't say a word about the previous argument and was obviously not interested in it.
If she was not the second generation of the Han family and had to attend this meeting, she would not have come here today.
"Mu Qing, why are you fooling around with your nephew? This is..."
Her expression of support immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Han Mo's second uncle. He was about to say something but was instantly glared at by Han Mucheng.
