The elders spoke softly to each other.
Ji Hongyuan glared at Qiao Nian and clenched his fists. āEveryone, we canāt be led by the nose by an outsider. Itās a sure bet that Ziyin will take over as the Patriarch. How can we change our minds just because of a few words from her? Isnāt she making a fool of the Patriarchās position?!ā
The second elder, Ji Ziyinās supporter earlier, remained silent and did not support him.
The fourth elder frowned. āSixth Elder, Ji Nan has the Patriarch badge!
According to the family rules, whoever has the badge is the Ji familyās
Patriarch. Donāt tell me youāre muddle-headed in your old age and donāt even know this?ā
āThe Patriarchās badge is an inanimate object, but humans are alive! How can we living people be led by the nose by an inanimate object!ā The veins on Ji Hongyuanās forehead bulged, and his mouth blistered with anxiety.
However, the elders had already decided.
The fourth elder ignored him. āStop talking. Rules are rules!ā
Then, the fourth elder took the lead and walked toward Ji Nan. He patted his shoulder twice before looking at Xie Yun.
He sighed softly. āJi Nan, you havenāt systematically learned about black gunpowder. We have our concerns too. Can you understand the elders?ā
āl understand.ā Ji Nan was calm, but his stubbornness was exactly the same as
Ji Lingfengs. āl can give up the Patriarch position, but I definitely canāt let Ji Ziyin and the reclusive families take charge of the Ji family. We of the Ji family have our own pride and dignity!ā
The fourth elder was slightly stunned. āYou.ā
Ji Nan looked at him steadily, obviously thinking the same thing.
The fourth elder immediately put down his hand and smiled bitterly. āForget it. This is the result of our discussion. You and Ji Ziyin wonāt take over as the next Patriarch for now.
āWe havenāt found the Patriarchās corpse, which means the Patriarch might still be alive. Letās search again. Weāll talk again if we really canāt find himā¦ā
Ji Nanās tense back muscles suddenly relaxed, and then he raised his hand. āl have no objections.ā
Ji Hongyuan could not accept this result.
He was so angry. āFourth Elder, everyone is saying that the Patriarch died at sea. If we donāt hurry up and choose a new Patriarchā¦ā
Fourth Elder shot him an impartial look. āThis matter is settled!ā
In terms of seniority, Ji Hongyuan was inferior to the fourth elder. Even if he was so angry that his throat burned, he did not dare to argue with the other party head-on.
āBut how are we going to explain to Ziyin and the reclusive families backing her? Elder Leo also came to the independent continent.ā
All the elders were afraid of Leonard.
The fourth elder and the second elder exchanged glances and frowned.
Ji Hongyuan struck while the iron was hot. āElder Leo is backing her up! The reclusive families wonāt let us off easily if we go back on our word.ā
āThen let them come.ā Qiao Nian leaned back on one knee and pinched the brim of her cap with her cold fingertips.
Ji Hongyuan was furious. He pretended that Qiao Nian did not exist and continued to threaten the other elders. āIf we rashly offend the reclusive families, and with the Patriarch not around, we have no chance of winning!
āAre we really going to offend a backer who came knocking on our door just because of him?ā He looked in Ji Nanās direction. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Ji Hongyuan looked down on him.
Qiao Nian took off her cap and tossed it on the coffee table..
