“A soldier cannot move without a general, and a snake cannot move without a head.”
The clan leader said slowly: "I have been away for several years now, and it is not yet known whether I will be able to return. Therefore, the Zhao family needs to choose another clan leader."
Zhao Shouyan smiled without warning and said, "Originally, I was going to ask everyone to make a recommendation, but just now, I seemed to have found a suitable candidate, so I wanted to recommend the next clan leader while I am still here. The position is determined."
"Clan leader, who is your favorite candidate?"
The third elder showed doubts.
Did he know that the patriarch was a person who could not tolerate disdain in his eyes, and it was conceivable that the person who could satisfy the patriarch must be extremely talented.
To know.
The position of patriarch represents more than just power.
It is an unspeakable responsibility.
At least half of the fate of the Zhao family is in the hands of the patriarch.
"Far away, yet so close."
The patriarch looked behind the third elder.
The smile on his face grew wider, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood.
Zhao Chonggu was completely dumbfounded this time.
He, Mr. Zhao, was just a "waste" who had only awakened his spiritual roots in his fifties. How could He De make the clan leader so fancy that he should be appointed as the next clan leader?
"I......"
He was about to say something.
The third elder's urgent voice interrupted him.
"Clan leader, you must not do this!"
"Although Yong Qi has the qualifications of the Three Spiritual Roots, he has just started practicing and has no cultivation at all. He is only ten years old and his mind is not yet stable. How can he assume the position of chief of the clan and lead hundreds of thousands of clan members. "
The one who can refute the clan leader in public in the main hall.
There is probably only one third elder, Zhao Deqing.
Although other people also felt that what the patriarch said was a bit ridiculous, due to the patriarch's previous prestige, they really did not dare to express any objections in a hurry.
Zhao Chonggu's face turned blue and white.
Extremely unnatural.
He just felt extremely embarrassed.
If not...
If the third elder hadn't interrupted him, he couldn't imagine how embarrassing it would have been if his words had actually been spoken.
And Zhao Yongqi himself.
He just stood there firmly, with thousands of thoughts flying in his mind.
He was also a little confused.
Apart from his three spiritual root qualifications, he seemed to have nothing special. Why did Zhao Shouyan choose him to be the next clan leader?
"Why not."
Zhao Shouyan was extremely determined and gave his own example: "Wasn't I the one who succeeded the clan leader at the age of thirteen?"
"besides."
He looked at the third elder: "Yong Qi is already at the first level of Qi training, so it's not like he has no cultivation."
"First level of Qi training?"
The third elder looked back at Zhao Yongqi.
His eyes were covered with a faint aura, as if they were glowing, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Yongqi's body exuding faint aura fluctuations, which was the scale of the first level of Qi training.
Celestial Eye Technique.
The third elder told Zhao Yongqi before.
It is a common spell used by those cultivating immortals in the Qi refining stage.
It is often used to check the realm of cultivation or other uncommon evil spirits.
However, since every time it is used, a conspicuous light will appear in the eyes, so it is best not to use it in front of others, otherwise if the other person is a monk with a hot temper, the two will easily conflict.
"So what if it's just the first level of Qi training."
The third elder just glanced at it and then looked away.
"How can Yongqi compare with you, the clan leader? You are a rare talent that can only be seen in a hundred years. Yongqi, Yongqi..."
The third elder was somewhat arrogant in his words.
But he does think about the entire Zhao family.
In his opinion, it was a stroke of luck that Zhao Shouyan was born in the Zhao family. How could such a talented person be born from generation to generation.
"I have made up my mind on this matter."
Being questioned continuously by the third elder, Zhao Shouyan couldn't help but say in an unquestionable tone: "Come forward."
"The patriarch is confused."
The third elder almost wanted to beat his chest: "Clan leader, you must think twice."
Seeing him acting like this, Zhao Shouyan smiled instead of being angry. He waved his hand and motioned for Zhao Yongqi to stand beside him.
Then he said: "Zhao Deqing, let me ask you, if I insist on letting Zhao Yongqi be the next clan leader, will you fully assist me?"
"this......"
The third elder was a little frightened.
After groaning for a moment, he said: "Whatever the patriarch said, I will naturally assist you wholeheartedly."
There was a pause.
He mustered up the courage and continued: "But I am here for the Zhao family. I personally still think that Yongqi is not suitable to be the patriarch of the clan at the moment."
Talk about it.
Except for Zhao Yongwen, the third elder is the tribesman Zhao Yongqi has had the most contact with since he began to cultivate immortality.
Zhao Yongqi naturally noticed his kindness.
But I didn't expect it.
At this moment, the third elder is the one with the strongest objections.
It can be seen from this.
The third elder really cares about the Zhao family and distinguishes between public and private matters.
He believed that a ten-year-old boy could not hold the position of patriarch. Regardless of whether the boy was Zhao Yongqi or not, he would object.
Zhao Shouyan naturally knew that the third elder was sincere.
He didn't really get angry, he just sneered: "When I succeeded as the clan leader, there were more people who thought the same as you, Zhao Deqing, who thought that I was only thirteen years old and could not take on the position of clan leader."
"alright."
He didn't give the third elder a chance to continue talking.
Immediately made a decision: "I have my reasons for letting Yong Qi take the position of clan leader, and you will understand it in the future. What you have to do is to do your best to assist the next clan leader, and don't have any objections."
He looked at the third elder Zhao Deqing.
He spoke earnestly and thoughtfully: "Third Elder, since you are dissatisfied with Yong Qi, you should share his worries and solve his problems. From now on, when I am not in the Zhao family, I must not let any unspeakable things like the pain of relatives and the pleasure of enemies happen."
The third elder understands.
These words were spoken by the patriarch.
It's almost like explaining the "future affairs".
He did not continue to speak in retort, but looked moved and said with tears in his eyes: "Don't worry, Patriarch, everyone in the Zhao family will do their best to assist the Patriarch."
