Looking at Qi You's reaction, Qi Jing sighed. He raised his hand and patted Qi You on the shoulder, "Think about it yourself about what is right and what is wrong. I also want to remind you that if you make a mistake, you must correct it and learn to make up for it.
Regardless of whether it can be repaired or not, at least the relationship won't become more strained. But if you persist in your mistakes and keep making them, you will lose not only this opportunity to run for the head of the family, but the rest of your life."
After saying this, Qi Jing stopped looking at him and turned to Qi Shuo and Qi Mo. "The necessary condition to become the head of the family is that you can't marry or have sex for the rest of your life. Are you willing?"
They both agreed, and the fragrance remained unchanged.
Qi Jing nodded, "You two are both suitable to be the head of the family, so I will give you three months, and then we will finalize the position of head of the family after three months."
This decision surprised everyone. They all thought that Qi Jing would be more inclined to Qi Mo, who was chosen by Qi Jun. They didn't expect that the two would compete fairly for three months.
Even Qi Shuo looked at Qi Jing in disbelief, but he calmed down in just a short moment.
Qi Jing didn't care about what others thought. He asked others to leave the ancestral hall first, leaving only the selected people and Qi Jun.
After the ancestral hall door was closed, Qi Jingxian looked at Qi Nian and Qi Yue, "The responsibility of assisting the head of the family is heavy. From today on, you will move into the old house. Qi Nian, after you take care of your personal affairs, you can go to the company to help. Yueyue, finish your studies first, and then follow me to study Taoism."
The two men nodded in agreement. Qi Jing picked up two incense sticks, lit them, knelt down to worship the Qi family's ancestors, and then the two men withdrew.
Qi Jing stood in front of Qi Mo and Qi Shuo, stretched out his hands with his palms facing up, and two fat white insects crawled out from his palms.
Both of them reacted calmly. Qi Jing explained, "This is a mother and child Gu worm. The mother worm is in me, and the child worms will enter your bodies. Before that, I want to remind you that after accepting the child worm, you must not do anything to harm me, nor can you even have the slightest thought of harming me. Otherwise, the child worm will gnaw at your heart, and even if I can intervene in time, you will lose half your life."
Qi Shuo and Qi Mo subconsciously looked at Qi Jun, and when they saw him nod, they stretched out their hands and spread out their palms.
Qi Jing turned his palm over and placed it against the palms of the other two people. The insects only caused a slight sting when they entered his body, and he didn't feel anything else.
Qi Jing took out two jade pendants and placed them in their palms. "This is amulet of peace. It will protect you from disasters three times and keep you safe. Remember to wear it close to your body."
Both of them took it and agreed in unison, then hung it around their necks.
Seeing the two of them taking care of Qi Jing and nodding with satisfaction, he turned to look at Qi Jun and said, "That's enough."
Qi Jun nodded, walked to a wall with his crutches, took off the jade pendant and placed it in the groove, then injected a trace of vitality.
The wall changed rapidly, showing one painting after another.
They are all portraits of two people, dressed in ancient costumes, but the clothes are different, and there is an identical person in each painting.
They both looked at Qi Jing. Qi Jing's face was in every painting.
Qi Jing came to the wall of paintings and pointed to the portrait in the middle. He said, "This is Qi Si, the ancestor of the Qi family from eight hundred years ago. He is also my brother."
This sentence shocked Qi Shuo so much that his face was full of outrageous feeling.
Eight hundred years ago, Qi Jingming looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. How could he have lived for eight hundred years? Where in this world is there such a thing as immortality?
Although Qi Mo had prepared in advance, he was still shocked when he heard Qi Jing say that he had lived for eight hundred years.
He has been immortal for eight hundred years. You should know that Xuanmen was only founded for more than five hundred years. Doesn’t that mean Gu Xuanyi is three hundred years younger than Qi Jing?
Qi Jing was not surprised by the two people's surprise. After all, every generation of the family head had gone through this.
He pointed to the other portraits and said, "These are portraits of the Qi family's successive patriarchs and me."
Qi Jun also took out an old photo from his pocket. It was a photo taken of him and Qi Jing when Qi Jing was about to leave sixty years ago. He had kept it well over the years.
Qi Jing took it from Qi Jun and showed it to them. Sixty years ago, Qi Jun was only in his forties, still very young, wearing a long gown and standing with Qi Jing.
The two looked at the photo, then looked at Qi Jing and Qi Jun in front of them, and both found it incredible.
Qi Jing took the photo back and returned it to Qi Jun, saying to them, "This is the secret that the Qi family has kept until now, and it is also the truth that only the head of the family can know."
Qi Mo finally asked what he had been thinking about for many days, "Why can our ancestors live forever?"
Qi Jing lowered his eyes, "I can only tell you this after one of you becomes the head of the family."
Qi Shuo didn't ask anything else, just stared at Qi Jing. He still couldn't believe that Qi Jing had really lived for hundreds of years. Such outrageous news simply destroyed his worldview.
Qi Jing took a deep breath and forced a smile. "Every twenty years, I sleep for sixty years, so the span of time is eighty years. When I return, I will choose the head of the family. During these twenty years, I will use divination to reorganize the family. This time, I came out early because the Gu family had done me a favor before, and the Second Master woke me up for this."
Your generation currently has three problems. First, Qi Nian is entangled in a bad love affair, but he will resolve this issue on his own. Second, Qi Mingde's family is biased towards Qi Xin, and the grievances Qi Yue has suffered. Third, Shen Mingzhu of the Shen family is a fake, and the real Shen family's youngest daughter is Wu Han. Qi Mo is already investigating this matter.
So my current decision is that Qi Mo will temporarily hand over the company's power to Qi Shuo so that he can focus on handling family affairs."
Qi Jing said, looking at Qi Mo, "Do you have any questions?"
"No." Qi Mo agreed readily. He trusted Qi Jing's judgment.
Qi Jingyou looked at Qi Shuo, who was slightly suppressed, and said, "I'm temporarily handing it over to you, but I don't mean I'm handing it over to you completely. You are all capable. No matter who will be the head of the family in the future, I hope you will consider the future interests of the Qi family and not do anything that will harm the interests of the head of the family and the brotherhood."
Qi Shuo nodded, somewhat puzzled by Qi Jing's arrangement. By handing over Qi Mo's rights in the company to him, wasn't he afraid that he would take advantage of the opportunity to seize control of the company?
But Qi Shuo didn't ask. No matter what the reason was, he would prove in these three months that he could be a good head of the family.
Qi Jing then said to Qi Shuo, “The Qi family will not cooperate with Shen Anwen’s family for the time being. The ones currently in progress will not be counted. We will make a decision after Hanhan’s affairs are handled.
As for Yueyue, let's wait and see what choices Qi Mingde and Qi You make. Also, check on Qi Xin."
Qi Jing thought for a moment and looked at Qi Mo, "Did Yueyue tell you and Qi Nian?"
"No, Yueyue doesn't like to trouble others. I'm investigating the Shen family's affairs, and Qi Nian has his own private affairs to deal with. She probably won't tell Qi Nian."
Qi Jing hummed, "Then you investigate, focusing on her relationships with men and women outside."
