I just want to ask you, how the hell did you become the clan leader? And what the hell were you thinking?!
Is there no law? Is there no justice? Stop pretending to be deaf and dumb, speak up! How exactly do you plan to handle this?!
Feng Xiuhua was trembling uncontrollably.
That's too arrogant, absolutely too arrogant.
How could this young man, barely in his twenties, question me with such an attitude and in such a tone?
Instantly, Feng Xiuhua tightened her grip on her cane, and finally managed to choke out, "What's it to you!"
"It's okay, right? Fine!"
Shen Zhao was too lazy to waste any more words with her, so he stood up and said to Su Yunying, "Yunying, since the Fire Phoenix Clan doesn't like you so much, let's leave now."
"good!"
Without hesitation, Su Yunying immediately followed Shen Zhao and prepared to leave.
"No, Su Yunying cannot leave!"
Feng Xiuhua immediately became anxious and stood up to stop the two from leaving.
"What, you think I won't beat you up just because you're blocking my way?"
"Young man, don't be so hot-blooded!"
"If you're not hot-blooded, are you even a young man? Get out of my way right now, or I'll have to resort to violence."
Feng Xiuhua was instantly intimidated by Shen Zhao's imposing aura and had no choice but to compromise for the time being.
"To be honest, I am very willing to groom Yunying to be the next clan leader, but..."
"Stop beating around the bush, just spit it out!"
Feng Xiuhua suppressed her anger and tried her best to warn the most not to argue with Shen Zhao before slowly saying, "I proposed that Yun Ying take the position of young master."
However, this was met with strong opposition from the rest of the clan, who declared that if I were to unilaterally appoint Su Yunying as the young master of Qifeng Mountain, they would sever all ties with Qifeng Mountain.
"Sever ties if you will. There's no need to care about these short-sighted people."
"But all of Qifeng Mountain's resources depend on these clansmen living outside. If we sever ties, Qifeng Mountain will be completely ruined."
Shen Zhao snorted: "In the end, it's all because you're useless. So let me ask you, what exactly do you plan to do about this?"
“I want to talk to them again and hopefully change their minds, but that will take time.”
"What's the point of your talk? They're already blatantly attacking you. Do you really think they care about what you say? Sometimes, don't take yourself too seriously!"
Shen Zhao interrupted her without any mercy.
"How about this, I'll arrange this matter. You, in the name of the Qifeng Mountain clan chief, can send a message to a few influential clansmen who are away from home."
"We're saying that Qifeng Mountain is going to hold a competition to elect the young master, and anyone who aspires to the position is welcome to attend."
"What are you going to do?" Feng Xiuhua frowned, vaguely sensing that Shen Zhao was probably up to something.
"Stop asking. Since you can't handle it, I'll have to take matters into my own hands. Do as I say immediately. The election for the young master of Qifeng Mountain will be held in half a month."
After pondering for a while, Feng Xiuhua could only nod in agreement when she saw that Shen Zhao's attitude was firm.
"Alright, considering that Su Yunying helped my Fire Phoenix Clan obtain the Divine Phoenix Inheritance and bring honor to our clan, I'll agree to your terms this time. I'll contact her, but whether it succeeds or not isn't up to me alone."
After saying that, Feng Xiuhua turned and left.
"Ha, you old fox, do you think I don't know what you're up to?"
"I can tell from your eyes you're up to no good, haha, just wait and see what happens."
Shen Zhao snorted coldly, and soon a new plan came to mind.
“Brother Chen,” Su Yunying suddenly spoke, “Actually, I don’t want to be the young master of Qifeng Mountain. Let it go. As long as I’m by your side, I’ll be content.”
Shen Zhao patted her head tenderly: "You don't need to think about anything. I will handle this matter properly for you. Just prepare to be your young master in peace."
"But……"
"There's no 'but' about it. Don't worry, this won't be your home for long."
After saying that, he smiled gently at her and strode out of the hall.
Watching Shen Zhao's departing figure, and recalling the time they had spent together, especially the scene of him kissing Yu Xiyan in front of her, Su Yunying couldn't help but clench her fists.
"I'm sorry, Brother Shen. This may be a bit abrupt, but I really don't want to leave you."
Please forgive my greed; I just want to be with you forever.
Since you don't know how to respond, then I'll have to take the initiative.
Brother Chen, after this is all over, I'll give you a surprise.
Su Yunying took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.
"Yun Ying".
Luo Fengjiao, standing to the side, looked at Su Yunying with a puzzled expression, unable to figure out what she was thinking.
However, Su Yunying simply nodded calmly at her and followed Shen Zhao in that direction.
