"I object!"
The sudden voice from an Elder stood in stark contrast, completely different from that of others.
"I also object. I think it is too early for Zhixian to become a Clan Leader of the Xiao family."
Another Elder also butt in, objecting the sacred ceremony.
"You two!"
Grand Elder's face suddenly turned dark as he looked at the two elders.
They were the same guys who objected strongly when Elder Nanfeng proposed Zhixian as the Clan Leader.
'So, this is the pawn you managed to get on your side?'
Zhixian thought while silently looking at the event unfold without showing any surprise.
After all, if there was no objection, then he would be surprised.
"Xiao Jian, Xiao Rong, do you two want to go against my wishes?"
It was the first time Grand Elder had experienced someone objecting when making a decision in the Xiao family, that too in such a public view.
Even when they didn't like his decisions, at most, they would just criticize, not like this, directly objecting to him.
So, of course, Baizhen was unhappy as he flared up his aura of Essence Forging Realm, putting pressure on the two elders.
Seeing Grand Elder getting angry at them, the two elders were sweating bullets in anxiety when another aura sprang from their side as if in competition.
"Grand Elder, what the elders said is indeed correct. Zhixian is too young and not suitable to be a clan leader of the Xiao family. If you insist on this decision, it will only make our family a laughing stock in the entire Mistwood city."
Xiao Heng said in a cold voice while subtly showing his Essence Forging Realm aura.
Only then other elders find out where these two elders got their courage to object.
It was none other than casting off the old and embracing the new.
Although they still didn't know what benefit the former clan leader gave them to give them such courage. After all, going against Grand Elder, that too in such a place, was really unwise.
"Xiao Heng, are you still not done? You are already removed as a Clan Leader. And you are still making a scene here. Did you not embarrass us enough that day?"
Grand Elder Baizhen was so furious that veins bulged on his head. This bastard, why was he like this?
He never talked to him in this entire week about Zhixian becoming the clan leader, only to object now.
Was he trying to slap his face in public or what? The more he thought, the angrier he got.
"Grand Elder, you cannot say that. This is the sacred ceremony of our Xiao family after all. Every procedure has to go through according to the rules."
But Xiao Heng didn't care about the furious Baizhen and began to talk eloquently with a serious look,
"Besides, for the event a week ago, my son and I had already paid the due punishment. There is no need to mention that again. Let's just focus on today's event."
"Then, what do you want? Or do you think that these two jujube and melon could change my decisions today?"
The furious Baizehn asked coldly while signalling at the two elders, causing both of them to flinch in fear.
'Well, they indeed seem quite afraid of the Grand Elder.'
Zhixian thought while enjoying the drama to the fullest.
"Grand Elder, you cannot say that. After all, appointing a clan leader is a family event, and we cannot make decisions with just your words."
"If you force your way and make Zhixian clan leader, won't he lose respect among the members? How can he become the head of a family like that?"
Xiao Heng was surprisingly quite calm as he slowly expressed his thoughts and questioned a critical point.
Just as he said, Zhixian could indeed become the head if Grand Elder insisted. But would that make the members of the family respect him?
Of course not.
After all, there were many members in the Xiao family who had a higher realm and talent than him.
Sure enough, his words immediately stirred the Clan members and Elders alike, which did not go unnoticed by Baizhen.
"Oh? Then, what do you think we should do? Or, do you want these old guys to make a Clan Leader?"
Grand Elder also calmed down after feeling the direction of the conversation. He felt that today this guy was quite smart, not as stupid as that day.
"Of course not. I also think the younger generation should be allowed to take the helm of the family."
Xiao Heng firmly denied the idea, causing the elder's face to darken. But he didn't care; instead, he suddenly smiled a little slyly and said,
"But Grand Elder, isn't pushing Zhixian like this directly bad? What about other members who have greater talent and a higher realm than him?"
'I knew it.'
As soon as Xiao Heng finished his speech, Zhixian rolled his eyes. He could already see what this bastard was trying to do.
'So, did this guy finally awaken his Golden Finger?'
Zhixian thought while looking at Xiao Chen's figure, who stood silently as if none of this drama concerned him.
'System, use the Eye of Insight on him and show me the status panel.'
Zhixian ordered as he had to see how strong he had become to plan ahead. After all, fighting a losing battle wasn't his style.
As soon as he gave the order, a transparent blue panel suddenly appeared in Zihixin's vision, filled with information.
