Forty minutes later.
An airplane took off from Beijing and flew into the sky.
Go to Independence Island.
The plane slowly disappeared in the clouds, leaving only traces of birds flying across the sky...
**
Ji family.
After a night of confrontation.
Most of the people in the Juyi Hall could hardly hold on any longer. Not sleeping for a whole night made them look extremely tired, and several of them had dark circles under their eyes.
But this matter involved the selection of the future clan leader, and the Second Elder and the others were unwilling to compromise. Even though they were sleepy and tired, they had no intention of signing the document given by Ji Lingfeng.
In comparison, the second elder simply refused to sign.
The fifth elder was even more obvious, he was in a bad mood the whole night.
The two sides remained in this stalemate.
They didn't sleep.
Ji Lingfeng also did not sleep all night, so he stayed here with them.
Time passes by every second.
There was no trace of fatigue on Ji Lingfeng's mature and steady face, as if he was the only person here who didn't feel tired.
"Well, have you made up your mind?"
Several hall masters who were loyal to Ji Lingfeng and the Ji family's direct lineage had already signed their names and stamped their fingerprints on the document.
He Lin took these people to settle next door.
Although they couldn't leave immediately, at least they could get a room to rest and didn't have to continue wasting time in the Juyi Hall staring at each other.
The others were not so lucky and could only sit here. Ji Lingfeng had not prepared a meal or a sip of water for them since yesterday noon.
Everybody just sits here.
Several older elders were already starving, their stomachs rumbling with blurry eyes, but they held on with only their last breath and refused to bow their heads.
The fifth elder is one of them.
He was a man of strong character, and would rather break than bend. He was very dissatisfied with Ji Lingfeng's tough approach to forcing them to agree. So when he heard Ji Lingfeng ask them again, he snorted coldly and said, "Since the clan leader has pointed the sniper at us, why don't you just give the order to shoot? In this way, you don't need our consent, and you can make the decision alone!"
As soon as he said this.
The second elder, who was sitting not far from him, secretly cried out in dismay.
really.
Ji Lingfeng's face showed no emotion at all. His deep pupils were calm. He turned to look at him and asked, "Is that what you think?"
The Fifth Elder hadn't realized the danger was approaching yet, and he still faced him with a cold face and said rudely: "Did I say something wrong?"
"You're right." Ji Lingfeng nodded, as if he had communicated with him. He raised his hand and called He Lin: "Help the Fifth Elder."
He said it was as simple as eating and drinking.
Everyone present changed their expressions.
The Fifth Elder himself widened his eyes in disbelief, his nose twitched and he stood up, slamming the table, his face livid.
"you!"
Others rushed to put out the fire.
"Alright, alright, Fifth Elder, please stop making trouble with the clan leader."
"That's right, please stop talking."
"Fifth Elder, the clan leader is joking with you. Please sit down."
The people in the Juyi Hall all gave their advice.
They knew in their hearts that they were not only trying to persuade the Fifth Elder not to commit suicide, but they were also afraid that the Fifth Elder's behavior would completely anger Ji Lingfeng and intensify the current conflict.
"Who told you that I was joking?" After all, Ji Lingfeng was a man who had been sitting in the position of the head of the Ji family for decades, and he would never be led by the nose.
When everyone was trying to persuade the Fifth Elder not to act like a demon, his cold words were like a slap in everyone's face.
The Second Elder, the Fourth Elder and others did not look very happy.
