After hearing Xiao Yi's words, the people who were staring at Xiao Chen just now turned their eyes away from him.
Xiao Chen's slightly frowned brows also relaxed. Being stared at... was still very uncomfortable.
He came to watch the fun, not to be watched by others!
"What do you think about the next patriarch? If you have any ideas, please feel free to mention them. We have briefly discussed this before. This time, the elders' meeting will definitely elect the next patriarch of the Xiao family. After all, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and a family cannot be without a master for a day!"
Xiao Yi looked at everyone and spoke slowly.
Everyone was also looking at Xiao Yi, but no one spoke first. After all, this was not a trivial matter, but a matter of choosing the patriarch of the Xiao family.
Seeing that they were silent, Xiao Yi's eyes fell on Xiao Chen.
But after thinking about it, he looked away.
He actually wanted Xiao Chen to speak first, but what if this kid didn't give him face and said, "The position of the head of the Xiao family has nothing to do with me, whoever wants to be the head can be the head?" That would be so embarrassing.
Soon, he looked at Xiao Sheng again: "Xiao Sheng, you speak first."
"Yes, ancestor."
Xiao Sheng nodded.
"I suggest that Xiao Lin be the head of the family."
“…”
Xiao Lin was speechless. You could have just mentioned me in an informal occasion, why did you mention me in the clan elders' meeting?
However, at this moment he did not dare to say anything like "I don't deserve it" or something like that, for he was afraid that if he said it, Xiao Yi would beat him.
After hearing Xiao Sheng's words, many people looked at Xiao Lin. Even those who had been in seclusion for many years knew of the 'Xiao Family's Qilin Son'.
After all, even Xiao Yi, who had been in seclusion for several years or even more than ten years, had heard of the 'Xiao Family's Unicorn Son', let alone others.
Some people nodded, while others frowned, thinking that Xiao Lin was not qualified to be the head of the family.
"Xiao family's Qilin son..."
Xiao Yi also looked at Xiao Lin and nodded slowly.
"He is known as the most talented genius in the Xiao family in decades... I didn't seem to be this strong when I was this age."
"Grandfather, you are a late bloomer..."
Xiao Lin quickly said, "Stop praising me, okay? I feel so insecure!"
"Late bloomer? Haha."
Xiao Yi smiled and glanced at Xiao Chen again.
"However, you, the most talented genius in the Xiao family in decades, have now been broken."
“Yes, yes.”
Xiao Lin nodded and began to divert the blame.
"Everyone knows about Xiao Chen's performance? At such a young age, he has already reached the middle stage of Hua Jin, and... the most monstrous thing is that he is in the middle stage of Hua Jin, but he can fight, no, he can defeat a half-step Xiantian. I can't compare with him."
After hearing Xiao Lin's words, two people at the scene turned pale.
One is Xiao Chen and the other is Xiao Mian.
Xiao Mian glared at Xiao Lin. Why didn't this guy just say that we can fight? Why did he have to say that we can lose?
What's the meaning?
Do I have to let everyone know that I was defeated by this kid?
But defeating the half-step innate master was an honor for Xiao Chen, but for him, it was not so glorious, after all, he was the loser!
"Well, but now we are not talking about Xiao Chen's talent, but about you... Xiao Sheng said that you are suitable to be the next head of the family, what do you think?"
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Lin and asked.
"Well...I don't think I can handle this responsibility."
Xiao Lin said with gritted teeth.
"Is it difficult to handle this important task? But I also think... you are quite suitable to be the head of this family."
Xiao Yi said slowly.
“…”
After hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Lin opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't dare to say no.
Xiao Yi's eyes were unfriendly. He was afraid that if he refused again, this old man would really take action.
"What about the others? Tell me."
Xiao Yi took back Mi Guang and asked others.
"I also think that Xiao Lin is suitable to be the next head of the family."
Xiao Mian spoke slowly. He knew what Xiao Yi was thinking.
At this time, he naturally knew what to say.
"I agree."
Another elder from Xiao Sheng's lineage smiled and nodded.
After all, Xiao Lin was from their lineage, and Xiao Sheng had also greeted him before the clan elders' meeting began.
Since Xiao Sheng is no longer the head of the family, Xiao Lin will be the new head of the family. This will not have much impact on their lineage.
"Yes."
Elders from this lineage kept speaking up, and it was obvious that they had discussed it beforehand and all supported Xiao Lin.
“…”
Xiao Lin's face trembled a few times. Was this a planned plan to push him into the fire pit?
"Boy, do you have any way to save me?"
Xiao Lin turned around and asked Xiao Chen in a low voice.
He felt that his nephew had many ideas since he was young, and maybe he could come up with some good ideas.
"Save you? What do you mean?"
Xiao Chen played dumb.
"Of course, I'll find a way to stop me from being the head of this family."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen.
"Boy, you can't just watch your seventh uncle jump into the fire pit, right?"
"Fire pit? Not really?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows.
"As for that, tell me quickly, do you have any solution?"
Xiao Lin urged.
"If not, think about it quickly."
"Well... there is a way."
Xiao Chen nodded.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Lin's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Is there a way? Tell me what it is."
“Seventh Uncle, stand up and say, I don’t want to be the head of the Xiao family. All of you here are trash… They promise not to let you be the head.”
Xiao Chen said while holding back his laughter.
“…”
Xiao Lin's eyes widened. Was this kid trying to kill him?
Yes, if he said it, they would definitely not let him be the head of the family, but they would also definitely beat him to death!
If he's not beaten to death, he'll probably be put in solitary confinement for ten or eight years!
"Besides Xiao Lin, does anyone have any suggestions?"
Xiao Yi glanced at Xiao Chen and Xiao Lin who were muttering to each other, and asked calmly.
All of Xiao Sheng's lineage has supported Xiao Lin to become the head of the family.
As for the neutrals, it is not a problem since Xiao Mian also expressed his support.
Now, only Xiao Bo's lineage is left.
"I think Xiao Hai is also a good fit for the younger generation."
Xiao Bo thought about it and spoke slowly.
No matter what, you have to try your best, just in case there is a chance!
Hearing Xiao Bo's words, Xiao Chen glanced at him. This old guy couldn't even protect himself, and yet he wanted to push a family head out?
"Xiao Hai?"
Xiao Yi thought about it and nodded.
"Then how many people support Xiao Hai?"
Almost everyone in Xiao Bo's lineage raised their hands, but even so, their support rate was not as high as Xiao Lin's.
"Xiao Yu, since I asked you to come, then tell me what you want to say."
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Yu and asked.
"I?"
Xiao Yu was shocked and very surprised.
He was very surprised that he was allowed to attend today's clan elders' meeting, and now they were asking for his opinion?
Xiao Lin, who was standing across from Xiao Chen, saw Xiao Yi asking Xiao Yu. He coughed dryly and winked at him frequently, meaning... you'd better not push your seventh uncle into the fire pit again!
"Um?"
Hearing Xiao Lin's dry cough, Xiao Yu turned around and saw that he kept winking at him. He felt a little strange. What did Uncle Seventh mean?
Then, he suddenly realized that Uncle Qi wanted me to support him! Uncle Qi was really something. Even if he didn't wink, I would definitely support him!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu nodded to Xiao Lin, then looked at Xiao Yi: "Grandpa, I think my seventh uncle is handsome... no, he is a man of great talent and strategy. If he becomes the head of the Xiao family, he will definitely lead the Xiao family to the peak and create glory!"
Listening to Xiao Yu's words, Xiao Lin's eyes widened and he had difficulty breathing.
These two guys...did they plan to cheat me?
"Haha, is that so?"
Xiao Yi smiled and looked at Xiao Chen again.
"Xiao Chen, you can also say something."
“…”
Xiao Lin had slumped in his chair, not wanting to say anything anymore, not even in the mood to hint.
"I think what Xiaoyu said just now is very good."
Xiao Chen glanced at Xiao Lin and said lightly.
"Haha, Xiao Lin, everyone is optimistic about you, why don't you say a few words?"
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Lin and asked with a smile.
"I...I...I will obey the old ancestor in everything."
Xiao Lin gave up.
"good."
Xiao Yi was very satisfied. This was the right attitude to have.
"From the perspective of support rate, Xiao Lin is more suitable to be the head of the Xiao family..."
Hearing this, Xiao Bo and others sighed in their hearts, there was no hope.
Xiao Lin also sighed in his heart, well, he's fallen into the fire pit.
"Since everyone has no objection, I declare that... Xiao Lin will be the next head of the Xiao family."
Xiao Yi slowly stood up and spoke loudly.
"Xiao Lin, I have high hopes for you, and so do the elders in the clan council. I hope you will live up to our expectations. Just like Xiao Yu said, you can lead the Xiao family to the top and create glory!"
Xiao Mian and others also stood up and looked at Xiao Lin with some encouragement.
"Thank you... for your trust. I will definitely live up to your trust."
Xiao Lin also stood up. What could he do since he was forced into a difficult situation?
Except for the people from Xiao Bo's lineage, most people gave encouraging applause.
"Congratulations, Uncle Seven."
After Xiao Lin sat down, Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Kid, just wait for me."
Xiao Lin whispered, gritting his teeth.
"Uh, what's up? I just spoke up for you."
Xiao Chen found it funny.
"Are you speaking for me? You are helping the evil, do you know that?"
Xiao Lin stared.
"Tell me, what's the point of being a patriarch like this whose words have no say?"
"Why don't you have the final say?"
Xiao Chen lowered his voice.
"Seventh Uncle, when you become the head of the family, you will kill anyone who dares to go against you... What about the elders' council, right? If you don't like someone, you can just confront him and make things difficult for him."
"Are you sure?"
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen. Was this kid going to trick him again?
"Of course, you are strong and they are weak. Otherwise, they would think you are a pushover."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"If someone relies on their strength to bully you, tell me and I will teach them a lesson in a minute... You are already so old, but you still don't know how to behave? Are you a living dog?"
"How long do you think I can stay as the head of this family?"
Xiao Lin curled his lips.
"Uncle Qi, don't you want to be the boss? What are you afraid of? At worst, let them find someone else."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Um?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Lin was startled, then his eyes lit up.
yes!
What is he afraid of?
Just confront them and get him down if you have the guts!
"Boy, you finally did something good today!"
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and said.
“…”
Xiao Chen was speechless. Did I not seem like a human being before?
