Chapter 9 Everyone Wants to Be the Head of the Family
"You... how did the Dragon Whip end up in your hands!" Shanxiong's eyes were bloodshot, his voice frantic, and his expression one of utter disbelief!
He had no idea that the dragon whip could transform into a belt. This... this is too amazing!
"It recognizes me as its master, so naturally it's in my hands!" Shanxi casually toyed with the dragon whip.
The incredibly hard dragon whip, harder than iron, seemed like a pool of warm spring water in Shanxi's hands, flowing gently over his fingertips with the utmost tenderness.
"You're talking nonsense! The Dragon-Slaying Whip is a divine weapon of my Shan family. How could it possibly recognize a piece of trash like you as its master!" A Shan family elder shouted angrily from the side!
After being yelled at, Shanxiong finally realized what was happening.
yes!
The Dragon Whip is a sacred artifact of the Shan family, a sacred artifact that the Shan family has worshipped for generations. How could it possibly recognize a piece of trash as its master!
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! It must be..." Shanxiong's words came to an abrupt halt.
The dragon-slaying whip flew to his head with a "whoosh," and with a jolt, it instantly transformed from a soft whip into an iron whip covered in barbs. Moreover, the bare end of the whip was pointed directly at him, as if it could strike him at any moment!
Shanxiong froze, feeling a chill run from his feet straight to his head.
Are you going to hit him again?
He was being unreasonable when I hit him last time!
Now that he's in his seventies or eighties, why would the dragon whip still be used on him?
"You really don't learn your lesson. You've forgotten something from forty years ago so quickly?" Shanxie waved his hand, and the Dragon Whip returned to Shanxie's hand with a "whoosh," like a docile pet.
Not only that, it also transformed back into the soft gauze that had been wrapped around Shanxi's waist earlier. It was not only as soft as a cloud, but also exceptionally white and translucent, shimmering with a soft light in the sunlight.
When it fell into Shanxi's hands, it didn't forget to rub against the back of her hand affectionately, as if it were flirting with its owner. Its appearance was as flattering as could be.
Seeing this scene, Shanxiong felt even more pained than being slowly sliced to death.
The fierce dragon-slaying whip that used on him was now fawning over a good-for-nothing?
Perhaps he's just like his great-grandmother, blind!
Soon, he looked at the old man, his eyes red with anger: "You old bastard, not only did you give her the Dragon Whip, but you also told her about this?"
Sun-hee couldn't possibly know what happened forty years ago; only her eldest brother could have told her!
"The Shan family has a rule that whoever obtains the Dragon Whip can succeed to the Shan family. Do you have any objections now?" Shan Xi tilted his head, casually crossing one leg, displaying an extremely lazy and carefree demeanor.
Just now she felt she had to maintain a dignified demeanor, but then she thought, since everyone treats her like their granddaughter, Shanxi, why should she maintain that facade? She might as well just do whatever makes her comfortable.
After all, her great-grandmother is now eighteen years old!
Seeing that Shanxi had gained the approval of the Dragon Whip, Shanxiong was filled with resentment and anger!
He'd already given the Chen family patriarch a five-thousand-year-old ginseng; if he were to accept her so easily, wouldn't his ginseng have been given away for nothing? He might even lose his position as head of the family…
Shanxiong was extremely anxious. Suddenly, as if he had seized some leverage, he retorted, "Ha, do you think all of our Shan family members are dead? Who gave you the right to be the head of the family? Don't you even know your own worth!"
He really underestimated this grandniece!
I thought she just wanted to be the eldest daughter of a virtuous family, but now it seems she is ambitious and not content with being just a young lady; she wants to be the head of the family!
"Brother, aren't you going to do anything about this? She's committing treason and trying to usurp your throne!" Shanxiong incited the old man!
Other elders from the philanthropic family echoed, "We elders are still alive, how could it be a junior like you to be the head of the family! Don't you even know if you're worthy!"
"Don't think that just because your elder brother protects and spoils you, you can act recklessly. In the Shan family, respect for hierarchy is paramount. You're a good-for-nothing who has no respect for your elders. How dare you dream of becoming the head of the family?"
Everyone burst into laughter, feeling that Shanxi was overestimating himself!
If one speaks kindly and gently, then there is still a chance!
Is it Shanxi?
A useless piece of trash with all his meridians severed? He still wants to become the head of the family?
The old man's chest heaved with anger. Just as he was about to step forward and reprimand him, Shanxi raised his hand, signaling him to step back.
"Do you think I'm discussing this with you?" Shanxi stood up, her cold gaze sweeping over everyone in the courtyard.
Shan Xiong's face turned ashen, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes: "Even if you gain the Dragon Whip's approval, it's useless. My elder brother is senile and incompetent. Even if he wants to abdicate in your favor, he'll have to see if we agree!"
"That's right! We disagree!"
"Objection! Strongly objection! A good-for-nothing like him wants to lead a charitable family? What unrealistic dreams is he having?"
"I think you've got it wrong. I'm giving you a notification, not a discussion!" Shanxi's eyes turned cold, giving off a strong sense of pressure.
Every word she uttered was filled with intimidation: "With the Dragon-Slaying Whip in hand, even if I expel you from the Shan family and remove you from the family genealogy, the elders will not say a word!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the soft white gauze wrapped around her waist began to flutter excitedly, as if applauding for Sun Hee.
Shanxiong: "..."
He really didn't want to see that dragon-slaying whip!
It's clearly a powerful and powerful artifact belonging to their benevolent family, yet they're behaving like shameless eunuchs, extremely obsequious!
"I refuse to accept this! Without the approval of an elder, you're nothing but trash!" Shanxiong's face was gloomy, his gaze like a poisoned sword, fixed on Shanxi.
"Grandpa, even if you spoil your sister, you don't need to let her play with the Dragon-Slaying Whip, do you? That's a sacred weapon of our Shan family." Shan Yurou stared intently at the Dragon-Slaying Whip at Shan Xi's waist, her eyes filled with jealousy.
That Dragon-Slaying Whip truly lives up to its reputation as a divine weapon; it can change its form at will.
She was determined to get her hands on the Dragon-Slaying Whip, and then she would have it wrapped around her waist!
After Shan Yurou finished speaking, many elders nodded in agreement, thinking that they listened to Shanxi because the old master had given permission.
Otherwise, why would a divine artifact fawn over a piece of trash?
If word gets out, won't people laugh their heads off?
Shanxiong stared intently at the dragon-striking whip, thinking back to how he had been whipped back then, almost to death with one lash!
And look at the fawning way he's using the dragon whip now...
No wonder everyone wants to be the head of the family. If you become the head of the family, you can turn a divine artifact into a belt. Who wouldn't like that?
Shan Xiong looked at Shan Yu Rou with agreement: "Yu Rou is right. Beating the dragon whip doesn't prove anything. Without the approval of the elders recognized by the Shan family, you will never become the head of our Shan family!"
"That's right, the Dragon Whip alone is far from enough!"
"Without the approval of your elders, you can forget about becoming the head of a benevolent family!"
Just as everyone was refuting each other, a deep, resonant, and powerful old voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard: "If Patriarch Shan is not qualified, then my words must carry weight, right?"
"Old Master Chen?" When Shanxiong saw the person who came, his eyes lit up and his mouth stretched to the back of his ears!
Before he came, he specially sent someone to the Chen family to give them a heads-up. He had planned to resolve the matter before personally inviting them, but he didn't expect that the old master of the Chen family would be so considerate and actually come in person.
