" Another woman, middle-aged, rose abruptly and said in anger, "The Yu family now holds Zhentian Palace — what power is theirs! Formation Master, you may be the head of the house, but to my eyes you have truly lost your mind!
" "Formation Master, think thrice before you act. " Another old woman rose, leaning on her cane. "You must not stake the lives and fortunes of our He family on a gamble. " Another woman, with righteous indignation, declared, "Our He family's ten-thousand-year foundation must not be destroyed in a single day!
If the Formation Master insists on going her own way, then let her yield the seat of head of the house! " "Aye, yield the seat of head of the house! " . .
.
He Yiyi swept her gaze around the room, her face mild and kindly. "Are there any other elders with objections? Speak freely, speak boldly. This is, after all, a family matter, and you are all my aunts, my great-aunts, my grandmothers, my great-grandmothers.
I am, after all, your junior. Everything may be discussed. " A few more clan elders rose and denounced her in stern terms.
He Yiyi waited a moment.
When no one else rose to object, she smiled. "It seems my aunts, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers have forgotten how I became the Formation Master, and how I became the head of this house.
" The faces of those who had risen changed drastically. They were about to rush out of the hall when suddenly Yun City clanged and rang, and from beneath the ground surged cage after cage, seizing every one of those who had just spoken in opposition, locking them in the cages, and the cages sank back into the earth.
He Yiyi clapped her hands and smiled.
"Once I have rid us of the Yu family, I will let you out again to stretch your legs.
Any other elders with objections? " One after another the people in the hall rose, bowed low, and said with one voice, "We follow none but the Formation Master! " He Yiyi looked to Shen Mu and smiled. "Sect Master Shen, what do you make of my methods?
" Shen Mu smiled.
"Sister Yiyi is a remarkable woman. " He Yiyi's gaze drifted, a touch of shyness in it, and she said in a low voice, "Tonight, my window will not be shut. If you climb in, we can talk formations the whole night through, and go a little deeper into our exchange.
