Chapter 749 Ying Zijing's Power! [2 Updates]
Given that Lu Yuan is dead, there is no problem in electing a new patriarch.
The residents will not only not oppose it, but will also support it.
Ying Zijing's eyes narrowed suddenly: "When did this happen?"
"Just now," the butler gritted his teeth, "the Sage's Academy just issued a notice saying that someone will be sent with official credentials this afternoon. Miss, what are we going to do?"
The position of patriarch is for life.
If Lu Yuan hadn't gone missing, this wouldn't have happened.
"Let's see what the Sage's Academy plans to do this afternoon," Ying Zijing pondered. "There must be a reason for this sudden move forward."
The phone rang twice at that moment.
[Norton]: By the way, this guy is your third uncle, right? He was going to report your blood type to Sara, but I told him I hated the Lyinger family, so I killed him.
[Norton]: But you're not really a sage, are you?
Ying Zijing looked down and said, "..."
She roughly knew what was going on.
Sarah Victoria was quite shrewd; she used just one sentence from Norton to bring forward the election for patriarch.
But it's only a matter of time before a new patriarch is elected.
Ying Zijing dialed the number directly: "I have something to tell you."
In the villa, Norton looked at the little girl trembling against the door and raised an eyebrow: "Okay, boss, what's up?"
What do you think of Sinai?
"She's annoying, but also kind of cute, isn't she?"
“Yes, she’s from the Leinger family.” Ying Zijing paused, then added slowly, “She’s my aunt.”
Norton: "?"
He knew that Sinai's body had mutated after being exposed to some kind of alchemical drug, causing her to revert to a youthful state; normally she would be an adult.
But unexpectedly, it turned out to be Ying Zijin's aunt.
Norton gripped the phone, his gaze slowly falling to the ground: "So afraid of me? You're sweating?"
Sinai shook her head vigorously: "No, I'm hot."
“Oh.” Norton actually believed him. “There’s iced juice over there.”
As he spoke, he reached for the girl's clothes and lifted her up.
Sinai instinctively flinched.
But they still couldn't escape the clutches of evil.
"Alright, stop hiding." Norton smiled. "I can tell you're going to have a flat body. I'm not interested. I only like people with good figures."
"Besides, you're too much older than me, and I'm not interested in kids."
Sinai: "..."
Who can teach this person a lesson?
**
This way.
Ying Zijin returned to her family home with her steward and Fifth Month.
A large number of people had gathered in the hall, clearly already aware of the sudden order from the Sage's Court.
Shao Ying stepped forward and nodded slightly: "Big Sister."
Ying Zijin nodded: "Didn't go to the lab?"
"I was going to go, but today is important, so missing a day won't hurt." Shao Ying frowned. "Is Uncle really gone?"
Ying Zijing's expression was unusually serious: "I will find my father."
Hearing this, Bi'er turned her head and smiled: "It seems I guessed right. The election for the head of the family is about to begin. Eldest sister, are you ready?"
There are too many rules and regulations for running for patriarch; it's not just about one's own abilities, but also about the influence behind them.
How long has Ying Zijing been in the City of the World? How could her power be stronger than hers?
One young master of a hacker alliance is far from enough.
"Oh, Master, Little Green Tea is here too." Fifth Month said coquettishly, "Master, I don't want to see her."
Ying Zijin pressed her head.
Of her apprentices and younger brothers, only Fifth Month and Xize liked to act cute towards her.
"Okay." Ying Zijing put one hand in her pocket. "Go upstairs, the room is all ready for you."
May cheered: "Yay!"
Bi'er's face turned green.
She watched helplessly as Fifth Month took over the second-best room, her nails digging into her palms.
upstairs.
"Wow!" Fifth Month pushed open the door and saw the golden desk. She exclaimed in surprise, "This is gold, isn't it? It must be!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zijin glanced at it and said, "No, it's a kind of ore similar to gold, but it costs less than one-tenth of the price of gold."
May: "..."
She was so sad.
"Things happened so suddenly today, I'll take you to see him tomorrow." Ying Zijin poured a glass of water. "Take a rest, I need your help with divination tonight."
Mentioning this, Wu Yue suddenly got up, picked up her small bag, and said, "Master, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back this afternoon."
Ying Zijing looked up: "What?"
"I'll set up a fortune-telling stall outside," Wu Yue said happily. "I'll start by making some pocket money."
"..."
**
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
In the hall, all the factions had gathered.
Bi'er looked at the girl sitting next to Suwen, pursed her lips, and couldn't calm down.
She took a deep breath and clenched her fingers.
Thankfully, we're about to elect a family head.
Ten minutes later.
The manager has arrived.
"This is a joint order signed by the sages." The steward smiled slightly. "The election for the head of the family will officially begin in October."
"The content of the election has already been chosen by the wise men. Please take a look."
As he spoke, he tapped on the tablet in his hand.
With a "whoosh," a 3D projection screen slowly unfolded in the hall.
The campaign items were listed one by one.
mechanical.
Alchemy.
Medical skills.
force.
...
The last line clearly stated that the final election for the patriarch would take place, and the wise men would be present in person.
If no heir meets these requirements by then, the Academy of Sages will promote another family.
The moment these campaign proposals were announced, the entire hall fell silent.
The second wife's expression changed, and Wangyue looked up in astonishment.
Suwen, the most composed of them all, held Ying Zijin's hand and said, "Sage's Academy, is it written incorrectly?"
Putting aside alchemy and medicine, their martial prowess alone is not up to par with the Leinger family.
“These are the orders from the sages, and there is no mistake in writing them.” The steward said, “The sages mean that the new patriarch must know these things so that he will not repeat the mistakes of twenty years ago.”
He smiled knowingly: "The wise men truly do not wish for such a thing to happen again, so we need a stronger person to succeed the patriarch."
Suwen's eyes instantly turned cold.
Ying Zijing grasped Suwen's hand in return and slowly raised her eyes: "All-around means mediocrity. So this is the kind of person the Sage's Academy needs to be the head of the family."
May: "..."
Her master always liked to curse himself when he was cursing others.
This time, the steward's expression changed: "Miss, please watch your words."
Ying Zijing said calmly, "I've received the warrant. You can leave now."
"Someone come here." Suwen also came to her senses. "Show the guest out."
"No need for the Madam and Miss to worry about that." The steward's face turned cold. "I'll handle it myself—"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly let out a scream and fell face-first onto the steps outside the hall.
The butler withdrew his leg and clapped his hands: "Get out of here!"
After kicking the person, he looked at his own foot suspiciously.
Why does his body feel so much lighter ever since the young lady treated him to candy?
This is really exciting to beat someone up.
Fifth Month glanced at the screen again and lowered her voice: "Master, do you have someone in the Sage's Court?"
Why do these competing projects seem tailor-made for her mentor?
Ying Zijing narrowed her eyes slightly: "Yes, but my people don't care about these things."
Xiu was busy getting his hair permed while simultaneously rescuing residents.
Norton is taking care of the children.
Moreover, Norton returned to the City of the World too late, and his prestige was far less than that of Sara and Louis.
Ying Zijing was also pondering why this election for the head of the Lyinger family was so unusual.
It's definitely not as simple as the manager said.
Bi'er's face also looked very bad: "What does the Sage's Academy mean by this?"
Many direct descendants of the Leinger family have gone on to work in research institutes, but most of them are in engineering institutes.
There are indeed a few people who have entered the Institute of Biological Genetics.
After all, alchemy is not like mechanical engineering or aerospace; it requires a certain talent.
Without alchemical talent, even if you enter the Institute of Biological Genetics, you can only study genes; you won't have access to the most core alchemical techniques.
The second wife had calmed down: "It's difficult for you, but it's even more difficult for Ying Zijin. It's actually a good thing."
Suwen turned her head: "Yaoyao, or else..."
She didn't value power very much; she just didn't want Ying Zijing to suffer anymore.
"Don't worry, Mom, I know a little bit about everything." Ying Zijing stood up and signed her name below the warrant.
Seeing this, Bi'er was not to be outdone and went forward to sign her autograph as well.
After the two signed their names, several other close associates signed up.
Bi'er glanced at it casually.
Apart from Ying Zijin posing a slight threat to her, the others were not worth mentioning.
She's bound to win this election for family patriarch.
Just as Su Wen was about to turn off the warrant, a voice rang out from outside the hall.
"Such an important event as electing the head of the family, I can also sign up, right?"
