Xie Yun came.
The people in the Juyi Hall were not in a position to continue guessing what would happen next.
Everyone shut up tacitly and waited for Ji Lingfeng to arrive.
After Xie Yun entered, she found a seat and sat down. He Lin's people brought her a cup of tea. She picked up the hot tea, lowered her brows, and sipped it intermittently.
The others couldn't tell what she was thinking, so they just exchanged glances and gave up!
Half an hour later.
Just when everyone in the Juyi Hall was getting impatient and could no longer sit still, Ji Lingfeng finally arrived.
"The clan leader is here!"
"Look, it's the patriarch."
"Finally."
There was a commotion in the Juyi Hall.
Only Xie Yun was still sitting in his seat, without even raising his eyelids, as if the person who came in was just an irrelevant person.
The second elder glanced at her face and frowned slightly, feeling a sense of uneasiness lingering in his heart.
But he couldn't figure out where his uneasiness came from for a while.
Soon Ji Lingfeng walked out from the crowd and sat directly at the top seat.
The Second Elder, the Fourth Elder and others then realized that he looked extremely bad, with thin bones protruding from his tough face. He was far from what Xie Yun said, "The rumors outside are all false."
The patriarch's current mental state was obviously serious. As for how serious it was, they couldn't tell for a while.
But it is definitely not as simple as just an injury that has not healed.
The second elder thought about it and was the first to break the silence and said, "Patriarch, is there something you want us to do this time?"
The Juyi Hall, which was previously noisy, suddenly became quiet. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the man sitting in the first seat.
He Lin was standing behind Ji Lingfeng. Looking at the gazes coming over, his heart ached and he couldn't help but worry for the clan leader.
Judging from the attitude of the Second Elder, what the clan leader wants to accomplish may not be that easy!
Ji Lingfeng put his hands on the table, his mature and tough face showed no ripples, and he spoke very calmly: "I have something to discuss with you."
"What's up?"
"Patriarch, you say."
Someone started talking at once.
Most people were cautious and didn't strike up a conversation easily.
Ji Lingfeng glanced at everyone with an eagle-like sharp gaze, without stopping on any one of them. Only when he saw Xie Yun did he pause briefly and then looked away.
He suddenly glanced around, and his influence was still there. Many people lowered their heads the moment he looked over.
Ji Lingfeng didn't care: "As you can see, my health is not very good. According to the rules of the Ji family, I have to choose a successor for myself. Who do you think is suitable?"
The Second Elder and the Fourth Elder looked at each other, and saw surprise and caution in each other's eyes.
The clan leader suddenly admitted in public that he was in poor health. This was unprecedented! And the clan leader brought up the topic of succession at this time...
The second elder hesitated and decided to throw the question back: "Chief, do you have a suitable candidate?"
He estimated that Ji Lingfeng had a suitable candidate, otherwise he would not have brought up this topic.
really.
Ji Lingfeng didn't even beat around the bush: "There are only two people left in the Ji family's direct lineage, one is my son Ji Nan, and the other is my...niece Qiao Nian."
He raised his eyes and looked at several elders: "You should be very clear about my background. Strictly speaking, I am only half a direct descendant, or even not a direct descendant."
