Xu Xianxian's voice sounded clear and pleasant, but the meaning of her words was a little cold, which made Su Changyun's smile gradually freeze.
"Yuechen..." After a moment's silence, Su Changyun took out a triangular compass from his arms and placed it on the stone table. "Actually, I came to you this time because I do have something important to tell you. I'm also concerned about the safety of the Su family. I hope you don't mind."
Xu Xianxian grabbed the crab roe bun beside her and took a bite. She asked vaguely, "Since it's for the safety of the Su family, I naturally won't be offended. I just don't know what the elder is doing?"
"As the lord's illegitimate daughter, you didn't inherit the Su family's bloodline. Instead, you carry a bloodline that prohibits magical power, making it impossible for you to practice magic. But now... your strength is advancing too rapidly, beyond common sense, and has aroused suspicion among the Su family's senior management." Su Changyun looked at Xu Xianxian deeply, then pointed at the triangular compass on the stone table. "This is the Miroto Compass, one of the secret treasures of our Su family used to protect the house. It can illuminate reality, dispel illusions, and also distinguish bloodlines and souls."
When he mentioned the word soul, his tone became a little more serious.
"The elders suspect that I'm not Su Yuechen?" Xu Xianxian sneered a few times, seeming very dissatisfied. She threw down the crab roe bun in her hand and grabbed the triangular compass with her greasy little hands. "Tell me, what do I need to do to prove my identity?"
"It's simple. Just focus your gaze on the center needle of the compass and relax your mind, and it will naturally give you the results."
Su Changyun's expression remained unchanged, he just pointed to the center of the triangular compass.
The entire compass looked like colored crystal, and the base emitted a pale yellow halo that rippled out in circles.
"good."
After Xu Xianxian nodded, she turned her gaze to the position of the pointer of the triangular compass and relaxed her mind. The scene in front of her immediately became blurred, as if there was some strange force that was affecting and pulling her mind.
After several seconds, she finally came back to her senses. She glanced at the triangular compass in her hand and said in surprise, "This compass is amazing! It can actually affect my mind."
Although the effect only lasted for a few seconds, it was enough to illustrate the power of this secret treasure.
Su Changyun smiled without saying anything. He just quietly took the compass and watched the needle on it rotate continuously. Finally, it pointed to a circular symbol. He breathed a sigh of relief: "Nothing is wrong. You are indeed Su Yuechen, not someone else."
After the heavy stone in his heart was finally put down, he could no longer remain calm. After a moment of relaxation, he was filled with extreme joy.
The fact that there is a monstrous descendant hidden in the Su family is a great joy for a supreme elder like him.
"Hmph... Now that my identity has been verified, what do you think of the matter we discussed last night, Elder?"
Xu Xianxian's eyes flashed and she asked in a cold voice.
"What we discussed last night..." Su Changyun's smile grew, but his eyes were filled with helplessness. "I've fought with you before, and I know you're much stronger than me now. Not to mention being the best of the younger generation of the Su family, you're undoubtedly the best master of the entire Su family."
"But in many aristocratic families, the top expert doesn't necessarily become the head of the family. Various factors also need to be considered, such as character, contributions, connections, influence, etc. Strength is the most important, but it does not represent everything. Only the heir jointly recommended by all the elders can sit on the throne of the head of the family."
"Yuechen... With your current strength, I can overcome any objections and free you from your illegitimate status, allowing you to secure your position as first heir. But I can't allow you to replace your father as the Lord of Wuliu City. This would inevitably cause a violent backlash from the Su family, and even the entire Wuliu City."
King and minister, father and son.
The relationships within aristocratic families are also based on hierarchy and seniority. If the current lord does not abdicate and the heir tries to force his way to the throne, that would be rebellion.
This is strictly prohibited in the Yuehua Kingdom. Lords who forcibly rebel against the throne will basically not be recognized by the law, and therefore will not be able to be canonized and appointed by the royal family.
"Elder, are you saying... I can't become a lord directly, but I can be promoted to the first heir?"
After being rejected again, Xu Xianxian did not show any angry expression, but asked back with some curiosity.
"Becoming the first heir is quite difficult, but I can help you." Su Changyun said in a deep voice: "You are the number one genius of my Su family, and as the Supreme Elder, I naturally have to put the interests of the family first and support you to the best of my ability."
Since his path is protection, in order for the family to continue to exist and grow stronger, he naturally has to support the strongest and most powerful young heir.
He was willing to stand up for Li Xiangyu before, not only for the sake of the Li family, but also because the other party's children were extremely talented and had the potential to be great wizards.
But now Su Yuechen suddenly appeared, and he had the strength of a great wizard before he even reached adulthood, so the other geniuses were instantly surpassed and became dim.
Xu Xianxian frowned slightly: "Is there no estrangement at all since I injured the elder directly?"
She hadn't actually attacked Li Xiangyu yet, she had just brushed her cheek, and yet she was being held in such resentment, the fight wouldn't end until she was dead.
And this supreme elder was in a high position and had been seriously injured by me before, but he just laughed it off?
"It's just a minor injury. It's nothing to me. On the contrary, I hope you won't blame me for my previous rudeness." Su Changyun waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Since I have confirmed that you are indeed Su Yuechen and a descendant of the Su family, I will naturally allocate corresponding resources to you."
"In that case, I would like to thank the elder first."
Xu Xianxian nodded, with a hint of brightness on her youthful face.
The two of them talked a lot more afterwards, including the details of the coming-of-age ceremony and the date of the subsequent elders' meeting, which were all told to Xu Xianxian in detail.
It was not until almost noon that Xu Xianxian left Su Changyun's residence with a lot of things.
......
The inner area of the Su family, the main courtyard.
The eldest lady was entertaining her brother and father who had come from afar in the hall, and sitting next to her were her two children.
"Mother..." Su Qingqing glanced at Li Xiangyu, who was smiling without revealing her inner emotions, and asked with some concern: "Mother, you were humiliated by that little bitch Su Yuechen at the clan meeting last night. Are you really okay?"
"Qingqing, how can you say that?" Li Xiangyu put down the teacup in her hand and slowly suppressed her smile. "I have submitted an application to the Council of Elders. Yuechen will soon be adopted by me. From now on, you two will be sisters. Please stop being so rude and arrogant."
