"How come you're turning your back on us now that the person has been chosen? Aren't you just making fun of us?!"
"That's right, Great Clan Chief, you are indeed being unfair."
"We can't just waste our precious time here with you."
"Great Clan Chief, you are a highly respected elder, how can you go back on your word?"
"Yun Ying is such a well-behaved and talented child, why can't she be the young master of Qifeng Mountain?"
"Could it be that the clan leader is deliberately disregarding our clansmen?"
Everyone chimed in, expressing their strong dissatisfaction with Feng Xiuhua's untrustworthy behavior.
Seeing that her clansmen were now siding with Shen Zhao and opposing her, Feng Xiuhua was so angry that her face turned red.
"Are you all blinded by greed? Why are you all siding with outsiders?"
According to the Fire Phoenix Clan rules, all major decisions concerning the clan must be approved by the clan leader in person; your opinions are merely for reference.
Unless I agree, Su Yunying is not qualified to sit in the position of the young master of Qifeng Mountain!
These words instantly ignited a firestorm in the main hall.
"What the hell, Great Clan Chief, you're utterly shameless!"
"I advise you to take back what you said earlier, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."
"People need face and trees need bark, but you're not even as good as a tree."
"Hey, why did you call us here? To play house with you, you old wall lamp?"
"Hilarious! If you can't handle the game, then don't play it at all! What a joke!"
"I call the shots when it comes to classic texts, who the hell do you think you are?"
"I'm making this clear right now: Su Yunying must be the young master of Qifeng Mountain, no matter what!"
The five family heads unleashed their full power, launching a barrage of verbal attacks that left Feng Xiuhua with absolutely no chance to save face.
After all, if this doesn't work out, the things I discussed with Shen Zhao yesterday will be completely wasted.
How much profit would be lost?
Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents.
Faced with absolute self-interest, you, this old wall lamp who doesn't know the times, are your own enemy, no longer the great patriarch.
Feng Xiuhua's face turned pale with anger, and Luo Fengjiao, seeing the situation getting out of control, simply stopped paying attention to it.
"What, do you all want to rebel?!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Feng Xiuhua slammed her cane down, instantly advancing her Soul Sea Eighth Grade cultivation to the point where the five family heads could barely breathe.
"Do you really think I, Feng Xiuhua, am easy to bully? You all, don't you even look at yourselves? Who do you think you are! You dare to disobey me?"
Instantly, the scene fell silent.
Shen Zhao smiled dismissively and continued drinking his wine.
Seeing that the scene had quieted down, Feng Xiuhua also withdrew her imposing aura.
She was not afraid of offending these family heads at all, because Feng Xiuhua discovered that Huang Qi, the most important person, had not appeared.
This shows that Huang Qi is definitely not with them. As long as the Huang family continues to support her as the clan leader, Feng Xiuhua will naturally not be afraid of these people's threats.
Just then, Huang Qi arrived late.
As soon as he entered, he smiled and bowed apologetically, saying, "Gentlemen, I had some personal matters that caused the delay. Please forgive me."
When Feng Xiuhua saw Huang Qi, her tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed.
"Patriarch Huang, you've come at the right time. These patriarchs dare to defy their superiors. According to the clan rules, how should they be dealt with?"
Huang Qi glanced at the group and complained, "What are you doing? What are you doing? How dare you disrespect the clan leader? You're becoming more and more lawless."
Then, smiling, he said to Feng Xiuhua, "Clan leader, please calm down. I've already spoken to them. Let's just let this matter go."
Feng Xiuhua was taken aback: "Just let it go? That's all? Patriarch Huang, what do you mean by this?"
Huang Qi said, "We are all of the same clan. Although we have separated our families, we still have the blood of the Fire Phoenix clan in our bones, don't we?"
Patriarch, please consider their past contributions to the clan and let it go for now.
I have two things to discuss today, so let's not waste any more time; important matters need to be addressed.
"What is it? Is it also about the position of young master?"
Huang Qi nodded in response to Feng Xiuhua's question.
"Very well, I hereby announce that the position of Young Master of Xiaqi Fengshan shall be held by Huang Feng, the eldest son of the Huang family!"
Everyone was shocked by these words.
Shen Zhao, however, continued drinking by himself, completely ignoring Feng Xiuhua's words.
Feng Xiuhua looked proud. She was trying to use this method to win Huang Qi over to her side in order to put pressure on the other five family heads.
After all, Huang Qi had told him more than once that he wanted his son to become the young master of Qifeng Mountain.
If it's confirmed now, Huang Qi will definitely stand on my side without hesitation.
