The second elder suddenly slammed the table and stood up: "What does the clan leader mean?"
Ji Lingfeng had a serious illness and looked a little sick and listless, but this did not affect his aura as a direct descendant of the Ji family.
"I said Second Uncle should take a rest."
"… "
He was full of oppression, looking around at everyone and slowly speaking: "Of course, if you uncles don't want to rest, you don't have to. In order to prevent the family from being in turmoil like before, I have already thought of a solution. If you continue to stay in this position, I will have no choice but to make you extinct. The Ji family can only have one patriarch, and people sitting in important positions can only use their minds to assist that person. In order to prevent anyone from having selfish thoughts, I can only use the most primitive and simple method - cutting the grass and eradicating it at its roots."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.
Several elders looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word.
The second elder opened his eyes wide, incredulous: "Patriarch, you..."
"The old patriarch established this rule when he was here. I took over this position at a young age and considered this rule inhumane, so I tacitly agreed to abolish it for so long. But after all the things that happened, I now understand the deep meaning of his establishing this rule. This rule is very good, and I will continue it."
"… "
The whole audience fell silent again.
Anyone with eyes can see that Ji Lingfeng is serious.
Different from the last time when he used drastic measures, this time Ji Lingfeng looked extremely gentle and easy to talk to, as if he was discussing something with them.
But it was even more oppressive and suffocating than last time.
The second elder sat back in his seat dejectedly: "Who do you want to support to take the position?"
The second elder did not wait for Ji Lingfeng to answer and raised his eyes sharply: "Qiao Nian? She is not suitable to be the head of the Ji family. She does things without considering the consequences. She is too upright and does not know how to be roundabout. I do not deny her ability, and I believe that the Ji family will move to a higher level in her hands. But at the same time, the Ji family may also be completely destroyed in her hands! Because she dares to do anything, but the leader of the family cannot be like this. She must learn to consider the family and is destined to sacrifice some things."
Ji Lingfeng smiled: "Sacrifice..."
He thought of himself. Then his hawk-like eyes fell on the second elder and he said slowly, "You are right, so I have never thought of asking her to take my place."
"I will train Ji Nan well in the next few years until he can take over the family in my place. During this time, I hope that all uncles will behave themselves and not let me down."
A light tone.
There is a raging evil spirit hidden underneath.
Even though the elders were unwilling to accept the result, they knew that now was not a good time to go against Ji Lingfeng.
This time, the patriarch has made up his mind to never give face to these old guys again.
Smart people know how to adapt to the times.
They don't want their lineage to be destroyed because of a momentary impulse.
"Then I'll trouble all the uncles to find He Lin to hand over." Ji Lingfeng said lightly when he saw that they were all listless and no longer talking.
The second elder moved his mouth, and when the words came to his lips, he could see that Ji Lingfeng was restraining the anger that was suppressed under his calmness, and finally did not object.
Xie Yun waited for him to finish speaking, then patiently pushed him out of the Juyi Hall and back into the room.
The two of them didn't speak during the whole journey. When they were almost there, Xie Yun asked faintly, "Have you thought it through?"
After this incident, Xie Yun no longer cared who would inherit the Ji family, but she did not expect that someone as stubborn as Ji Lingfeng would change his mind.
"Ji Nan needs to grow up." Ji Lingfeng said nothing more, nor did he turn around: "Thank you for all these years."
"..." Xie Yun's eyes were moistened, but she didn't say anything. She pushed him in silently and got him a cup of hot water for the medicine.
