Li Linglong subconsciously looked at Li Yu with pleading eyes.

Li Yu nodded gently to her and smiled, saying:

"Linglong, this is a good thing. Being able to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan means that you now have your own real family."

As she said this, Li Yu's eyes suddenly dimmed.

Those long-forgotten memories flooded back, making him realize that surnames were not important at all; what mattered was whether the Mo family members loved Li Linglong.

Meanwhile, Mo Xuanji, who was standing to the side, came up with a compromise and patiently continued to persuade him:

"Of course, it's fine if you call yourself Li Linglong after you leave. When you come back to the Mo family, you can call yourself Mo Linglong. Is that alright?"

Li Linglong pondered for a moment, looked at Li Yu, then at her maternal grandfather by blood, before obediently nodding in agreement:

"Yes, that's fine."

Upon seeing Li Linglong agree, Mo Xuanji was immediately overjoyed:

"Good, good, good, the name Mo Linglong is great."

"Ink blossoms emerge from sleeves, exuding spring's beauty; a piece of exquisite, azure jade."

The surrounding members of the Mo family also gathered around to congratulate Mo Xuanji's granddaughter on her successful return to the family.

Just then.

The Central Plains Inspector, who had been standing quietly to the side without saying a word, suddenly spoke coldly:

"Now that Mo Jiuzhen is dead, the Mo family needs a new patriarch."

The inspector narrowed his eyes slightly, a barely perceptible glint flashing in them as he looked at Mo Xuanji.

He continued in a tone that seemed to be making a suggestion, but was actually one that brooked no argument:

“Mo Xuanji, the Mo family actually experienced such a serious internal strife when you were the head of the family, resulting in heavy casualties.”

"You are largely to blame for the current predicament of the Mohist school, and I see that you are no longer capable of leading the Mohist school."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xuanji gently released Li Linglong, turned to look at the Inspector, and replied with wary eyes:

"Your Excellency, what exactly do you mean by that? Please enlighten me."

The inspector snorted coldly and said dismissively:

“What I mean is, given your current condition, you are not suitable to continue as the head of the Mo family.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Xuanji frowned and began to ponder inwardly.

The head of the family originally intended to hand over the reins to someone else, but now that his granddaughter has been found, he plans to use his position as head of the family to give her a better life.

Unexpectedly, the inspector made it clear that he did not want him to continue as the head of the family.

"Your Excellency, this is probably inappropriate, I..." Mo Xuanji tried to explain.

However, before Mo Xuanji could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted by the Inspector.

The inspector suddenly waved his hand and loudly announced to the Mo family members and soldiers of the Inspectorate present:

"In my opinion, the position of head of the Mo family should be held by Mo Linglong!"

The inspector strode towards Li Yu and pointed at Li Linglong.

Upon seeing this scene, Mo Xuanji froze on the spot.

"Mo Linglong!??"

His mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to retort, but he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Mo Xuanji never expected that the Inspector would actually make his granddaughter the head of the family!

At this moment, everyone in the Mo family was stunned. They looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.

The Central Plains Inspector actually wanted to appoint a child as the head of their Mohist family.

Even Li Yu thought he had misheard, and only when he saw the inspector still pointing at Li Linglong did he finally believe it.

"Mo Linglong will become the head of the Mo family!"

No one would have expected that these words would come from the mouth of the Central Plains Inspector.

At this moment, everyone in the Mo family focused their attention on the three people beside Li Linglong: the Inspector, Mo Xuanji, and Li Yu.

Everyone knows that this child, who has just been found, is not qualified to be the head of the Mo family.

But who dares to raise an objection?

Putting everything else aside, just take Li Yu, who is next to the child, for example. How many people from the Mo family did Li Yu kill on the way up the mountain?

Just how powerful is the strength it has demonstrated?

Even if these members of the Mo family were unwilling, they were no match for Li Yu.

Furthermore, Mo Linglong had just been recognized as part of her family; her maternal grandfather was Mo Xuanji.

Mo Linglong had just been recognized as a member of the Mo family; her maternal grandfather was Mo Xuanji, the former head of the Mo family who had been in charge for over a decade. Who among them dared to question him?

Finally, not to mention, it was the Inspector who took the initiative to suggest that Mo Linglong become the head of the family.

Faced with a group of Central Plains soldiers standing menacingly to the side, who among them dared to speak?

Under the immense pressure from the three forces, who dares to question whether Li Linglong is capable of becoming the head of the Mo family!

Every member of the Mo family present kept their lips tightly shut, not daring to utter a single breath, for fear that speaking out and questioning would bring trouble upon themselves and offend any of the parties.

Thus, no one objected to the inspector's proposal.

Li Linglong was thus bewildered and led by the crowd to the main hall of the Mo family.

On the main seat directly above, there was a chair meticulously crafted from immortal wood.

The chair is entirely blood-red, echoing the eternal supernatural abilities passed down through generations of the Mo family.

Faced with the empty chair, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Linglong.

After a moment of silence in the main hall, a member of the Mo family in charge of etiquette stepped forward and respectfully called out in a loud voice:

"Please, Patriarch of the Mo family, Mo Linglong, take your seats!"

"Ah..." Li Linglong lowered her head in embarrassment. She had never thought of becoming the head of the Mo family.

At this moment, she felt a little apprehensive and uneasy.

Just as she peeked out and looked around, searching for Li Yu's figure.

Suddenly a familiar voice rang in my ears, and I heard Li Yu say softly:

"If others can take the position of head of the household, then you can naturally take it too. Go up there."

Hearing Li Yu's voice, Li Linglong felt much more at ease. Under everyone's gaze, she slowly walked towards the main seat symbolizing the head of the Mo family and sat down steadily.

Li Linglong sat high up, with a clear view of the crowd below; this was the perspective and angle from which the head of the Mo family viewed the people.

Despite her petite stature, she exuded a unique aura at that moment.

Seeing that things were progressing so smoothly, the inspector, standing to the side, solemnly and loudly proclaimed once more:

"Very well, from this day forward, Mo Linglong officially becomes the new head of the Mo family, and has been recognized by my supervisory department!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers from Zhongzhou were the first to applaud, and the Mo family members quickly followed suit.

Mo Xuanji also stepped forward to the crowd, turned back to the Mo family, and admitted:

"That's right, Mo Linglong is the new head of my Mo family!"

With things having progressed to this point, everyone in the Mohist school present understood that the outcome was already decided, and who would dare to disobey the trend?

Therefore, the members of the Mo family echoed each other, expressing their congratulations and support for the new family head.

Becoming the head of a family at such a young age is an extremely rare case among the major powers in Zhongzhou.
