The Juyi Hall was dead silent.
No one dared to say a word.
Who the hell dares to go against Ji Lingfeng!
The Second Elder, the Fourth Elder and the remaining hall masters who had not signed watched as two men in black came in from outside and dragged the Fifth Elder out, leaving a long and wide trail of blood on the ground.
They were terrified just by looking at it.
At this time, Ji Lingfeng spoke again: "My patience is limited."
Just a simple sentence.
The eyelids of everyone in the Juyi Hall twitched, pure fright.
Fortunately, the second elder had seen the world and calmed down in a short time. He stood up and met Ji Lingfeng's murderous gaze: "Patriarch, can you give us some time to discuss?"
Ji Lingfeng narrowed his eyes and didn't say whether he agreed or not.
The Second Elder remained calm in the face of his gaze, and said with reason, "We didn't intend to agree to Qiao Nian taking over the Ji family before. Now that we have to consider it, please at least give us some time to discuss whether it is feasible."
Ji Lingfeng was still not moved: "Time is limited, Second Elder."
The second elder knew it would be difficult to convince him, so he used his trump card and looked at him earnestly, "Patriarch, you don't want to leave Qiao Nian with an incomplete Ji family, do you? We just need a little time to discuss..."
Ji Lingfeng's eagle-like eyes scanned his face.
The Second Elder stood there motionless, fearing that if he got a small detail wrong he would end up like the Fifth Elder.
Fortunately, his last words really touched Ji Lingfeng.
When he was about to give up, Ji Lingfeng retracted his gaze and stood up: "I'll give you one hour."
One hour…
The knife hanging over everyone's heads could not fall for the time being, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Lingfeng stayed with them for a whole night and a whole morning, and his complexion was extremely bad, with no color from his face to his lips. However, he was tough and did not show any discomfort.
When it was time to take the medicine, he told the people in the Juyi Hall, "I'll be there in an hour. I hope you've thought it over by then."
Everyone was grateful that Ji Lingfeng was willing to give them an hour to catch their breath.
Only Xie Yun looked in his direction unnoticeably, and when she saw his painfully furrowed brows, she silently looked away.
…
Ji Lingfeng went out.
The strong sense of compulsion that had been hanging over the Juyi Hall finally disappeared.
The second elder lost no time and immediately looked at the only person who could possibly change the status quo: "Madam, the clan leader wants to hand over the Ji family to Qiao Nian. What do you think?"
He is a smart man and he even knew to look for Xie Yun.
After all, according to the rules, the Ji family should be inherited by Ji Lingfeng's only son Ji Nan in the future. Ji Lingfeng suddenly wanted to give the entire Ji family to Qiao Nian, which undoubtedly took away Ji Nan's cake.
With Xie Yun's ability, it is impossible for her to agree easily.
As long as Xie Yun is willing to help them buy time, based on the decades of friendship between Xie Yun and Ji Lingfeng, the clan leader will never just "deal with" the matter like he did with the fifth elder.
His purpose is to delay.
If they could delay until the people left outside could no longer wait to break in, the situation would be reversed! They could still take the initiative.
The second elder had a tense expression and an anxious tone.
Xie Yun sat in her seat, drank a cup of tea leisurely, lowered her eyes and showed no emotion, and unexpectedly replied: "I have no objection."
The second elder was stunned and dumbfounded.
Xie Yun doesn't object, doesn't that mean she agrees
