As soon as he finished speaking, the expression on the Fifth Elder's face collapsed visibly.
Although it is called temporary succession, it is actually no different from passing on the throne. After all, he has even been given the token of the head of the family.
But the position of the head of the Shen family belongs to him, how could it fall into the hands of this dead girl!
No, no one can take this position away from him!
The fifth elder tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, his teeth almost biting the soft flesh in his mouth into pieces, before he adjusted his facial expression.
He tried to look pleased and smiled at Shen Qiqi: "Really? That's great. Our Qiqi is so capable. I believe she can protect the safety of the people of Yuzhou..."
Before he could finish his words, his eyes became dazed, and then his head tilted and he fainted.
The Great Elder was standing nearby. Seeing this, he quickly reached out to support him and called out urgently, "Old Five? Old Five!"
After calling out twice with no response, he turned around to comfort the stunned Shen Qiqi: "Qiqi, don't worry. The Fifth Elder must have seen you come back and realized that Yuzhou was saved. The tension he had been holding for many days was finally relieved, so he fainted... He's probably tired. I'll have someone take him back to rest."
After the Great Elder finished speaking, he was about to ask someone to send the Fifth Elder back, but Shen Qiqi interrupted him and said, "Great Elder, please send the Fifth Elder back yourself. I'm worried that after he wakes up, he will force himself to come out and worry about the safety of the people in the city. So I have to trouble the Great Elder to send the Fifth Elder back personally. It's also good to keep an eye on him, so that he won't refuse to listen to my advice and refuse to rest well."
He seemed to be considering the five elders in every way.
But she was sneering in her heart.
The fifth elder had already "fainted from exhaustion", but he was still releasing malice towards her. Especially when she suggested that the first elder send the person back personally, the malice from the fifth elder surged like a tide.
Pretending to be unconscious can help control the expression on his face, but the resentment in his heart cannot be hidden in front of Huo Lian.
Since the Fifth Elder likes to pretend to be unconscious, Shen Qiqi will fulfill his wish and let him faint completely.
