Chapter 1786 List of Heirs
As the elder spoke, he deliberately glanced at Huo Yulin and said, "Master Feng is in poor health now, and the Huo family cannot be without someone to take charge of the overall situation. So after discussing with several of our elders, we plan to select a qualified successor from among the younger generations."
"I will send you the list of candidates for succession now. The rules for the evaluation are also attached."
The great elder took a stack of papers and placed them in front of everyone one by one.
Huo Yulin slowly picked up the list.
There are five people on the list.
Apart from him and Huo Wanying, the other three were members of the Huo family's side branch, and they were a generation older than them.
"If everyone has no objection, this matter will be settled. The first test will be conducted in two days." The Great Elder spoke again.
Huo Yulin did not continue to read the evaluation rules behind the list. He loosened his fingers and the list fell on the table. He looked up at the elder and said, "I refuse."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on him.
The Great Elder seemed to have guessed that Huo Yulin would have an opinion, and deliberately showed surprise on his face, "Master Lin, I don't quite understand what you mean by rejection?"
"Master Feng is just taking a temporary rest. What qualifications do you have to discuss the succession issue?" Huo Yulin sneered, "Who are you relying on to be able to sit here safely today? Don't you have any idea?"
The Great Elder was not embarrassed by his words. Instead, he continued, "Master Lin, we all know what you said. But if the Huo family's century-old foundation is shaken, how can we be worthy of Master Feng's lifelong efforts? Don't you think so?"
"Besides, we are just selecting an heir now. Master Feng is still the head of the family, so this will have no impact on the Huo family."
"The Great Elder is right. We must protect the Huo family for Master Feng."
"This heir must be chosen."
Others present began to echo this. Although some people had not yet taken sides, everyone knew very well that the issue of succession must be put on the agenda.
They have all heard the news that Mr. Feng might never wake up again.
Huo Yulin looked at the people who were talking with an expressionless face, and he understood that these people were deliberately provoked to make trouble.
He stood up with his hands on the table, leaning forward slightly, and said in a neither hurried nor slow voice, "You want to choose an heir? You can. Wait for Master Feng to come back and he will choose it himself."
"Everyone already knows what Master Feng is like," the Great Elder raised his head, looked directly into Huo Yulin's eyes, and said, "So Master Lin, you don't have to delay any more. The issue of the successor cannot be changed."
There was a cold look between Huo Yulin's eyebrows.
At this moment, Huo Wanying, who had not spoken, stood up, her imposing aura evident throughout her body, "Sorry to interrupt, I also refuse."
As soon as she said this, the Great Elder frowned, as if he did not expect Huo Wanying to say this. It was obvious that choosing an heir was in her best interest!
Didn’t Huo Qing tell Huo Wanying about this in advance?
The Great Elder couldn't help but glance at Huo Qing.
Huo Qing was actually a little confused at this time. He ignored the gaze of the Great Elder and said hurriedly: "Wanying, why are you fooling around too?"
Huo Wanying turned her head and glanced at Huo Qing. Her expression was quite calm. She only said, "I am not rejecting the elders' proposal to select a successor. I just think that this list is not fair."
