"Great Elder, you are wrong." As soon as Yun Waitian finished speaking, an elder of the Yun family said, "In terms of prestige, strength, and contributions to our Yun family over the years, the next head of the family must be the Great Elder."
"That's right." Another elder also nodded immediately: "In terms of rank, the Great Elder ranks first in the Elders' Council. In terms of strength, he is also second to none. During the years when the Patriarch was disabled, the Great Elder took full responsibility for all the major events in the clan. If we want to choose a Patriarch who is most suitable and most respected by the people, it can only be the Great Elder."
"I think so."
Several elders spoke up one after another, all of them strongly recommending the great elder Yun Waitian to succeed the family head. Gradually, more and more people spoke up for Yun Waitian, and those elders who didn't speak out eventually became a minority, and they could only sigh secretly. Then, the middle-level members of the Yun family and the young disciples also began to shout the name of the great elder.
A hundred years ago, Yun Canghai never returned, and Yun Qinghong succeeded as the head of the Yun family. At that time, in terms of prestige and family influence, ten Yun Waitians could not compare to Yun Qinghong. Yun Qinghong was a man of great influence in the Yun family, and the whole family followed him as the leader, and no one disobeyed him. Although the eleven strongest cornerstones of the Yun family at that time collapsed overnight, their strength plummeted, and they were also burdened with guilt, everyone in the Yun family believed that with Yun Qinghong's leadership, the Yun family would surely rise again. Outside the Yun family, no one really dared to underestimate the Yun family, whose strength had greatly declined... because at that time, the Yun family had a brilliant and amazing Yun Qinghong.
But twenty-two years ago, Yun Qinghong was disabled.
In a world where strength is respected, a weak person whose strength is as low as dust and who can never become stronger, even if he has the halo of "family head", can no longer be truly respected and feared. In the past 22 years, the reputation he once accumulated has quickly disappeared. People's admiration, respect, awe, worship, and fear of him... gradually turned into sighs, indifference, and even ridicule and gloating as he became useless. The predecessors, peers, and descendants of the Yun family who had placed great hopes on him were endlessly disappointed and sighed. As the Yun family is the top Xuan cultivation family in the Illusory Demon Realm, who would not mind being led by a complete useless person?
Even those who had secretly sworn to be loyal to Yun Qinghong for life, some of them withdrew sadly, while the others who were still willing to follow him until death were actively expelled by Yun Qinghong... Because at that time, he knew his physical condition, and if he stayed with him, he would have no future. How could he be willing to delay these people who treated him sincerely?
In the end, he still had the status of "head of the family", but he was left with only his wife and son.
More than 20 years ago, who could have imagined that Yun Qinghong, who had the most dazzling halo in the entire Illusory Demon Realm, would now be in a state where almost no one would look at him in the eye.
After being disabled for twenty-two years, this former patriarch of the Yun family still has no one in his own family to speak up for him and support him to continue to be the patriarch.
However, facing this reality, Yun Qinghong did not blame anyone. After all, he was a useless person. Whether it was the Elders' Council or the Grand Elders, their original intention was for the future of the Yun Family. After all, the Yun Family, which had a useless person as the head of the family, was not only ridiculed, but also had no future. Compared to the future of the Yun Family, the matter of the head's bloodline seemed not so important.
The voices supporting the Great Elder were getting louder and louder. Yun Waitian suppressed his excitement and said humbly, "I am flattered by your kindness, but I am incompetent and I don't dare to be the head of this family... But the Seventh Elder is very capable and is a perfect candidate for the new head of this family."
The "Seventh Elder" mentioned by Yun Waitian waved his hands quickly and said, "Great Elder, your words really embarrass me. Excuse me, looking at the entire Yun family, with the Great Elder here, it would be difficult for anyone else to succeed the head of the family to win the support of the people."
"Yes! Support the Great Elder to succeed the Patriarch!"
"Great Elder, please don't refuse. You are the next head of the Yun family."
The voices of the Yun family rose again. Yun Waitian clenched his fists, his heart surging with excitement... Twenty-two years ago, after Yun Qinghong was crippled, he had the idea of becoming the head of the family. In the past twenty-two years, he has been working hard for this goal, accumulating more and more reputation in the Yun family... If he becomes the head of the family, the lineage of the Yun family's head that has lasted for ten thousand years will be rewritten. A hundred years later, his son Yun Xinyue will become the next head of the family, and then his grandson, his descendants...
Facing Yun Qinghong who had become a cripple and his son who was unable to use the power of Xuan Gang, he knew that this day was not far away... and today, it had finally arrived.
Amid the increasingly loud calls from the Yun family members, a discordant sneer sounded: "Since Great Elder Yun knows that he is not worthy of the position of the head of the family, why do you people have to make a fuss and make things difficult for him? If Great Elder Yun can't stand it and agrees to it again, and it gets out, people will say that the Great Elder of your Yun family has not only coveted the position of the head of the family for a long time, but also hypocritically shirked it. This reputation of being insidious, cunning and hypocritical is quite unpleasant... Great Elder Yun, don't you agree?"
Mu Yubai's words were quite vicious. The whole Yun family supported Yun Waitian to succeed as the head of the family. Yun Waitian himself just tried to shirk responsibility, but Mu Yubai took advantage of his words to accuse him of being mean, insidious and hypocritical if he succeeded as the head of the family. Yun Waitian's mouth twitched violently. Just as he was about to say something, another arrogant voice rang out to his right:
"I agree with what Master Mu said." The speaker was Helian Peng. He squinted his triangular eyes and said slowly, "I heard that after Yun Qinghong was crippled, the great elder of the Yun family took over all matters of the Yun family, no matter how big or small. Although he is only a great elder, he is more powerful than the master of the family... Tsk tsk, more than ten years ago, I heard a lot of people talking about the great elder of the Yun family must be coveting the position of the master of the family. After so many years, there are more and more rumors like this. If the great elder Yun really suddenly becomes the master of the Yun family, then these rumors will be confirmed. At that time, hehe, the name of this master will be very loud in the Yun family, but outside, it may be so bad that it will be unbearable."
Helian Peng, who had spoken up for Yun Wai Tian before and almost got into a fight with Mu Yu Bai, actually helped Mu Yu Bai this time, and what he said to Yun Wai Tian was even more sharp and harsh than what Mu Yu Bai said. Yun Wai Tian's face suddenly changed, and the core elders of the Yun family looked at each other in bewilderment. Mu Yu Bai frowned and glanced at Helian Peng... He was not naive enough to think that Helian Peng would be kind enough to follow his words.
Could it be that this guy came here today specifically to cause trouble?
Mu Yubai's words made Yun Wai Tian feel like he had swallowed a fly alive, and what He Lian Peng said was nothing more than a mouthful of shit, making him feel uncomfortable and angry until his spleen and lungs almost burst. He thought that if he wanted to become the head of the family, Mu Yubai would definitely be a big obstacle, but he didn't expect that in addition to Mu Yubai, there was also He Lian Peng who messed up the situation! He twitched the corners of his mouth for a long time, trying to make his expression look less ugly, and reluctantly said: "Everything I, Yun Wai Tian, have done over the years is for the Yun family, and I have never been greedy for the position of the head of the family."
"Alas!" The Grand Elder Yun Jiang, who had been silent for a long time, sighed and said, "Waitian, among the entire Yun family, you are indeed the most suitable candidate for the head of the family. Regardless of whether this is what you want or not, you succeeding as the head of the family is the best outcome for the Yun family today. You don't need to refuse. As for what outsiders say, it's better not to listen."
The words of the Grand Elder were naturally of great weight. Yun Waitian was secretly delighted and was about to follow suit when he heard Prince Hui Ye suddenly say, "Regarding the matter of the new head of the Yun family, I do have some humble opinions. Everyone in the Yun family might as well listen to them."
When Prince Kaguya spoke, he instantly attracted everyone's attention. Yunwaitian took back what he was about to say, turned to Prince Kaguya, and said respectfully: "What is your opinion, Your Highness Kaguya? I would like to hear it in detail."
King Huiye had a calm face and smiled slightly. He flicked the folding fan in his hand and said slowly, "In my opinion, what Master Mu and Elder Helian said are both reasonable. Although Elder Yun has made great contributions and has an unparalleled reputation in the Yun family, he is indeed not suitable for the position of the head of the family. Otherwise, as Master Mu and Elder Helian said, it would be easy for outsiders to talk about him. People's words are terrible. If it only concerns the elder, it would be fine. The current situation of the Yun family is already worrying. If it is caught in the vortex of public opinion because of this incident, it will be even more disadvantageous to the Yun family."
Prince Huiye's words made Yun Waitian's heart twitch suddenly. He lowered his head to hide the expression on his face that was uglier than crying: "Your Highness Huiye is right. I am indeed not suitable for the position of head of this family."
Prince Huiye then said: "Given the current situation of the Yun family, it is imperative to change the head of the family. I have a candidate who I think is a better candidate for the head of the family."
"I don't know who Princess Kaguya is referring to." said Grand Elder Yunxi.
King Huiye put away his folding fan, stood up, and walked leisurely, saying: "The elder is not suitable to be the head of the family, and among the elders of this generation of the Yun family, there is no one who is more popular than the elder. So, why not put the selection of the new head of the family on another level."
"What does your Highness Kaguya mean?"
Prince Huiye said: "Back then, you lost the head of the family and the ten strongest elders. Your strength declined overnight, and you were burdened with a hundred years of guilt. If the Yun family wants to rise again, it will undoubtedly take a long time, and it will need an extremely outstanding leader. A sufficiently outstanding leader must be cultivated over a long period of time. In my opinion, since it is difficult to choose from the elders, why not choose from the younger generation. Now the whole city knows that Yun Xinyue, the son of the eldest elder of the Yun family, is extremely talented and talented. He is born with the same blue Xuan Gang as the demon king, but he is humble and not arrogant. He is really a heaven-sent pride of the Yun family. I have heard people praise him more than once as the greatest hope for the rise of the Yun family. If he succeeds as the head of the Yun family, assisted by the eldest elder and the elders, I believe that within ten years, Yun Xinyue will become an excellent leader, and the rise of the Yun family is just around the corner."
"Besides, although Yun Xinyue is young, I believe that you, the people of the Yun family, know him best. If he takes over as the head of the family, I believe that the number of people who are dissatisfied may be even less than those who are dissatisfied with the Great Elder. What do you think?"
