The proposal to dismiss Ling Yunbo caused a sensation throughout the entire Ling family.
There is indeed an option to remove the head of the family, but the Ling family has never used it before; this is the first time.
Many members of the Ling family were completely bewildered. How could a perfectly good Ling family competition have escalated to the point of wanting to remove Ling Yunfei from his position as family head?
Lin Lie and Lin Xu exchanged a glance, their faces beaming with smiles; this was clearly the outcome they had hoped for.
People from the three great dynasties and the four great families also looked expectant, as they were happy to see Ling Yunbo take the throne.
Ling Yunbo must have reached some kind of agreement with them.
Qin Feng was puzzled by this somewhat farcical scene. The Ling family patriarch, Ling Wushang, was still alive, so how could Ling Yunbo dare to act so recklessly?
Changing the head of the family is a matter for the Ling family to handle privately. However, making a scene in front of such a powerful figure will cause the Ling family to lose face, regardless of the outcome.
What surprised Qin Feng even more was that Ling Wushang had not stepped forward to stop it yet. He believed that with the divine sense of a Royal Realm expert, he could clearly perceive everything that was happening here.
Ling Yunbo's proposal has already received responses.
Ling Yuntao was the first to speak up, "I agree with my elder brother's proposal to remove Ling Yunfei from the position of family head. Those who agree, stand on my side."
After a brief moment of hesitation, most of Ling Yuntao's descendants chose to believe him.
The same situation applies to Ling Yunbo's lineage.
Ling Yunfei wasn't surprised by this scene. Just like when faced with the choice of believing one's parents or relatives, most people would believe their parents, since they are closer to them.
There were five brothers: the eldest was Ling Yunbo, the second was Ling Yunhai, he was the third, the fourth was Ling Yunbo, and the fifth was Ling Yuntao.
Besides Ling Yunbo and Ling Yuntao, there are two other people who support him.
Ling Yunfei didn't think Ling Yunbo's absurd proposal could succeed.
But things didn't go as he expected. His second brother, Ling Yunhai, who had always silently supported him, made a public statement at this time.
“I, Ling Yunhai, support my elder brother’s proposal. Yunfei should indeed step down.”
Ling Yunhai's actions left Ling Yunfei stunned, feeling bitter inside, and even starting to doubt himself.
"Second brother, what are you doing? Have I really performed so badly all these years? Even you chose this option. What did I do wrong?"
Ling Yunhai sighed, "Ah, Yunfei, you didn't do anything wrong, but things are different now. The situation has changed. Don't you know the situation of the Ling family?"
Ling Yunfei clearly did not accept this excuse, "That's a matter for the future. At least our Ling family will be worry-free for the time being. You are just worrying unnecessarily."
Ling Yunhai shook his head.
“We don’t have much time left. We’ve tried before, but it’s all been in vain.”
Now, what my elder brother said is true. Burning Heaven Sect is our best choice. We are evenly matched in strength and both are forces focused on weapon crafting, so we have a lot in common.
Although this might cause us to reveal some secret techniques, the gains are equally considerable; it's a trade-off.
Ling Yunfei flew into a rage, “You’re trying to outsmart us, and in the end you won’t even have any left.”
He knew that Ling Yunbo must have persuaded Ling Yunhai beforehand; the three of them had conspired together long ago.
With Ling Yunhai joining, the original 60/40 split between Ling Yunfei and Ling Yunbo has now become 40/60.
Ling Yunfei's defeat is already inevitable.
Ling Yunbo looked at Ling Yunfei with a smile, "Yunfei, as you can see, according to the rules of our Ling family, you are no longer the head of the family."
Ling Yunfei was heartbroken. He had worked diligently all these years, but he never expected it to end like this.
Ling Hao couldn't hold back any longer and started yelling at those who supported Ling Yunfei.
"You're all blind, can't you tell who's good to you? What has my father done wrong all these years? Has he ever skimped on resources for you?"
Now they've actually turned around and supported this traitorous old man. Can't you see he's the one behind all this trouble?
The fifth brother, Ling Yuntao, immediately reprimanded:
"Ling Hao, watch your words. This is everyone's choice, and he's your uncle. How can you talk like that? Does your father just let you get away with this?"
Ling Hao was furious. How could he stand being lectured like this? He cursed loudly.
"Pah! You old codger are no better than me. We're all birds of a feather, teaming up with outsiders to swindle our own people."
Ling Yuntao reprimanded Ling Hao a few more times, then addressed the Ling family members, saying, "The Ling family is currently without a head of the family. I propose that a new head of the family be elected, and I choose my eldest brother, Ling Yunbo."
Ling Yunbo chuckled and said, "If I become the head of the family, I will definitely lead the Ling family to new heights."
Ling Yunhai also stated, "I support my elder brother Ling Yunbo being elected as the head of the family."
The result was as expected: just like when Ling Yunfei was dismissed, Ling Yunbo is now the new head of the family.
Ling Yuntao flattered, "Congratulations, elder brother, on becoming the new head of the Ling family."
Lin Lie also congratulated him, saying, "Haha, Brother Yunbo, you've truly overcome all your hardships and now you've finally taken the position of family head."
Others also offered their congratulations.
"Congratulations, Patriarch Ling."
"Congratulations."
Qin Feng watched this scene with amusement. Everything seemed to be in order, but it all looked like child's play.
The removal and appointment of the head of a large family was thus completed.
Ling Yunbo was naturally happy, but he pretended to be calm on the surface.
"Thank you all for your trust. Yunbo will no longer serve as the head of the family. Thank you all for your kindness as well."
Now, as the head of the family, my first announcement is that we must form an alliance with the Burning Heaven Sect, joining forces to contribute to the weapon-refining efforts in the eastern part of Central Continent.
