Prince Kaguya's words caused a stir in the Yun family. After a brief moment of surprise, most people suddenly felt enlightened. The core elders of the Council of Elders looked at each other, and then nodded slowly in unison.
Even the three great elders Yunhe, Yunjiang and Yunxi fell into deep thought, but did not show any rejection.
“Hmm?” Yun Che held his chin with his hand, looking thoughtfully at the leisurely Kaguya King, then smiled faintly and whispered: “Oh, so that’s how it is… Before, I was only 90% sure, but now, it’s 100% sure.”
Yun Che’s whisper completely fell into Yun Qinghong’s ears. Yun Qinghong side-glanced and gave him a deep look.
"If dad must abdicate...it seems like a good idea to let Brother Xinyue be the head of the family." Yun Xiao said in a low voice.
"Your Highness Kaguya, this is a really good suggestion!" After a brief noise, a core elder clapped his hands and stood up, praising first: "In our Yun family, every successor to the throne has been almost a hundred years old. We subconsciously overlooked such a perfect candidate."
"That's right!" Another elder also stood up: "Xinyue is the best of the younger generation of our Yun family. He is perfect in every aspect. Although he is not the son of the head of the family, he is also the son of the eldest elder. No one among his peers can compare with him in terms of qualifications and background. As for age, Xinyue is indeed still young, but this is also an advantage. His lack of qualifications can be fully compensated with our full support."
"Xinyue is called the hope of our Yun family's rise by people outside the family. This is by no means an empty statement. Having Xinyue succeed as the head of the family may really be a brand new beginning for our Yun family."
"Your Highness Kaguya's proposal is truly brilliant!"
In the now weakened Yun family, Yun Xinyue's aura is indeed dazzling, and in the aura, there are countless praises and the greatest hope and expectation for the Yun family to rise again. Under such a halo, the problem of age can be easily covered up. The elders of the Yun family did not feel too much wrong about his proposal to succeed the head of the family. As one elder after another agreed, they felt that it was more and more feasible, and it could even be said to be a wonderful choice.
As for the younger generation of the Yun family, they naturally responded with great enthusiasm. As young disciples, they naturally felt a strong sense of pride in having Yun Xinyue become the head of the Yun family.
The cheers from the scene were even louder than the previous calls for Yun Waitian to succeed the position of the head of the family.
After thinking about it, the three elders all nodded slowly. Yun Jiang said slowly: "Our Yun family has never had a precedent of letting the younger generation succeed to the position of head of the family too early, but it does not mean that such a precedent cannot be set. Xinyue's character and talent are enough to cover up his lack of qualifications. After comprehensive consideration, considering the current situation of the Yun family, Xinyue seems to be more suitable to succeed the head of the family than Waitian."
"I think so too." Yunhe nodded.
"As expected of Her Majesty Kaguya, your proposal makes us feel quite enlightened." Yunxi also nodded.
"It is my honor to be recognized by the three great elders." Prince Huiye smiled and said, "I just mentioned it casually, but I didn't expect to get such a strong response from the whole clan. It seems that the Yun family's recognition of Yun Xinyue is higher than I expected. In this case, Great Elder, it seems that it is a perfect choice for your son to succeed the head of the Yun family."
Prince Kaguya's words undoubtedly made Yun Waitian's mood change from depression to ecstasy in a short period of time. Letting Yun Xinyue succeed as the head of the family would be much more joyful than letting him be the head of the family. He suppressed his ecstasy and said humbly: "Your Highness Kaguya is so kind to my son, I am very grateful, but... my son is too young after all, I am really... I am afraid that he is not capable enough..."
Yun Xinyue stood up, with an obviously flustered look on his face, and said respectfully: "Father is right. Princess Kaguya is so kind to me, Xinyue is really grateful, but Xinyue is not even thirty years old, and my strength, ability, and experience are extremely low and scarce. How can I be qualified to take on such a big responsibility as the head of the family? Xinyue is really worried."
"Oh?" Prince Huiye's smile faded, his face turned unhappy, he snorted coldly and said, "Humph, it seems that this rumor is just a rumor after all. I thought that you, Yun Xinyue, were really a gift from heaven to the Yun family, but it seems that you are just that. The Yun family is in a critical moment of life and death. The Yun family is willing to entrust such an important task to you, and even the three great elders have recognized it, but you don't have the courage and guts to continue. Ha, it seems that the so-called 'hope of the Yun family's resurgence' is just a joke. This so-called 'hope' is just a straw bag that people look down on."
Prince Huiye's words made Yun Xinyue's face turn red all of a sudden. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Xinyue does not agree with what His Highness Huiye said. Reviving the Yun family is my greatest wish in this life. If I can achieve this wish, I will pay any price..."
"This prince never bothers to listen to useless nonsense." Prince Huiye smiled faintly: "This prince just wants to know, do you dare to take the position of the head of the Yun family!"
"I dare! Why shouldn't I dare?!" Yun Xinyue seemed to be deeply stimulated by Prince Huiye's words. He changed his previous hesitation and answered decisively. He frowned and said solemnly: "As long as the elders, brothers and sisters of the Yun family think highly of me, Yun Xinyue, and are willing to let a junior like me be the head of the Yun family, I dare to risk my whole life to make the Yun family rise again!!"
When Yun Xinyue said this, the Yun family responded strongly and roared. Several core elders stood up, smiled and nodded, and said in unison: "I didn't expect that today's family head event would have such a result. Although it was unexpected, it was also a perfect result. We will also do our best to assist the new family head!"
Yun Waitian took a deep breath and said excitedly, "If that's the case, if my son refuses again, he will seem hypocritical and cowardly. If the important task now falls on my son, as his father, I will definitely make ten times the effort as before, just to prevent my father and son from becoming the culprits for the continued decline of the Yun family."
Everyone in the Yun family knew that the real purpose of this clan competition was to replace the head of the family. Before this, everyone thought that the new head of the family would be Yun Waitian. Unexpectedly, under the urging of Prince Kaguya, a result that seemed more perfect was finally achieved.
Prince Huiye laughed loudly and said, "The change of family leader is a major event for the family. I didn't expect that my shallow suggestions as an outsider would be recognized by everyone in the Yun family. I am very happy and honored. Since I was the one who facilitated this matter, I am also eager to see a complete result. Since everyone thinks that Yun Xinyue is the most suitable to be the next head of the Yun family, and since the entire Yun family has gathered, including the grand elders and core elders, and there are also foreign guests to witness it, the time, place and people are all right, then how about completing the succession ceremony of the head of the family today? Everyone, do you have any objections?"
Throughout the entire process, Yun Qinghong, the current patriarch, was the person who received the least attention. No one asked for his opinion, and no one cared about his feelings... Because although he was the patriarch, he was also a useless person who could even be looked down upon by a beggar... At least a beggar could still walk normally.
The Yun family responded enthusiastically to Yun Xinyue's proposal to succeed the head of the family, and no one objected. And it was Prince Hyuga who made this proposal and facilitated this result. Even if anyone really felt that it was inappropriate, under such circumstances, let alone shouting it out, they probably wouldn't even dare to show it.
Just as the clan competition was about to begin with the current head of the family abdicating and the new head taking office, an "incompetent" person stood up.
"I have objections!"
The four light words, driven by the mysterious power, possessed extremely strong penetrating power. In the noisy atmosphere, they were transmitted to everyone's ears with incomparable clarity, and the surrounding noise suddenly became quiet. All eyes fell on the source of the sound at the first time.
Yun Che stood up and walked forward five steps at a leisurely pace. He faced Prince Hyuga and Yun Wai Tian with a smile on his face, while also exposing his figure to everyone’s eyes.
After all, Yun Che had been in the Yun family for two months. Although most of the Yun family had never seen him, they had all heard that Yun Qinghong had adopted a son... but the adopted son of a useless man was not enough to attract too much attention from the Yun family. He suddenly stood up this time, and with those earth-shattering words "I have objections", everyone was shocked. Then, the surprise in their eyes was gradually replaced by more and more mockery and gloating.
"What the hell is this kid?"
"He has objections? Hey, what does he mean? Who does he think he is? Who does he think is standing in front of him?"
"Oh, this seems to be the godson adopted by the patriarch. Could this guy be an idiot?"
"Tsk, maybe you want to show off? Hehe, it's easy to show up, but let's see how you end up... let's watch the show!"
King Hyuga, the branch of the royal family he belongs to, is recognized to be as powerful as the power controlled by the Little Demon Queen. The great elder of the Yun family had to be respectful in front of this young prince, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. Even those who had never heard of King Hyuga should understand what kind of family background he has. But when he asked "Does everyone have any objections?", no one expected that someone would actually stand up, which was undoubtedly an impolite insult to King Hyuga's face.
“Big… Big Brother!” Yun Xiao was shocked and was about to pull Yun Che back, but Yun Qinghong stretched out his hand to stop him and shook his head silently.
“Oh?” Prince Huiye naturally would not have thought that someone would actually go against his will in front of him, and this was when everyone in the Yun family fully agreed with his proposal. He turned around and glanced at Yun Che casually, not angry at all, and asked with interest: “Who are you?”
Yun Waitian stared at Yun Che with a frown, and then said: “Your Highness Huiye, this person is not from my Yun family, but an adopted son that Yun Qinghong adopted two months ago. I don’t know why this guy suddenly appeared, Your Highness Huiye does not need to pay any attention to him.”
At this point, Yun Waitian no longer even called him "head of the family", but simply called him "Yun Qinghong".
"Adopted son?" Prince Huiye narrowed his eyes slightly. "This is strange. I have never heard of anyone in the Yun family adopting an adopted son. The Yun family head made such an exception. It seems that the Yun family head's adopted son must have extraordinary qualities."
“I don’t deserve it.” Yun Che said with a smile. Facing the powerful aura of Prince Huiye, he was calm and composed, as if he was not facing a person who stood at the top of the entire Illusory Demon Realm, but an ordinary person of the same age: “I am just a small person. Of course, His Highness Huiye cannot know me. Although I am not from the Yun family, my original surname is Yun, and my given name is Che.”
“Yun Che!” Yun Waitian said in a low voice: “Today is a big event for my Yun family. Whether your surname is Yun or not, you are just an outsider and have no right to interfere in my Yun family’s affairs. Apologize to His Highness Hui Ye for the offense immediately, and then get out… Otherwise, even your foster father will not be able to protect you!”
The angry rebuke from the great elder of the Yun family was enough to frighten a junior into trembling with fear and sweating all over. However, Yun Che only glanced at him calmly and said calmly, “I, Yun Che, am not a member of the Yun family, nor am I a member of Monster King City. I just arrived at Monster King City two months ago and happened to save Yun Xiao who was attacked outside the city. Yun Xiao and I are of the same mind and became sworn brothers. The head of the Yun family took me in as his adopted son because I saved his son… Since I have become an adopted son of the family, I am at least half a member of the Yun family. Speaking of outsiders, it seems that His Highness Kaguya is the complete outsider, right? An outsider can decide the next head of the Yun family with just a few words, so why don’t I, a half-‘family member’, have the right to interrupt?”
As soon as Yun Che said this, Yun Xiao instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Those elders who were several hundred years old were all dumbfounded.
