Ji Liao's eyes widened suddenly, and murderous intent erupted from his dark eyes.
He has been decisive in killing for tens of thousands of years in his life. If it were anyone else, he would have taken action at this time, but the person below is his son. No matter how bad he is and makes him unhappy, he, the father, can only endure it.
Ji Liao's hand hidden in his sleeve clenched into a fist and then relaxed again.
The separation of families has existed since ancient times, and it is extremely common in both the mortal world and the world of immortality.
In the mortal world, it mostly happens in wealthy families or among the royal family and nobles. In the world of immortality, most of it happens in the family of immortality cultivators. Almost all of them are for one reason, which is profit distribution.
Ji Liao abdicated and the family patriarch was left vacant. He originally thought that there would be no problem in choosing between his two sons, but he did not expect that there would be a separation of the family.
Ji Liao glanced at Long Ji and saw that Long Ji's eyes were sparkling and her face was full of grievances and shame.
Yes, this was an embarrassment caused by his son, which exposed her scars for many years in public, but she had no way to argue.
However, Ji Liao still saw a hint of fear in Long Ji's eyes. When Long Ji looked at him, there was a hint of pleading in her eyes.
Ji Liao knew what Long Ji meant. After all, Ji Chongfeng was her son. No matter what, she was pregnant in ten months. How could she, a mother, not feel sorry for him and not protect him.
There was silence in the venue, and you could hear a needle drop. Everyone was frightened by Ji Chongfeng's words. None of them thought that Ji Chongfeng would dare to say such a thing.
Chen Xue'e's face was solemn, her beautiful eyes briefly glanced at Ji Liao's face, and then she raised her red lips and said with a smile, "Master, Chongfeng was just angry for a moment, and he didn't..."
Ji Liao waved his hand, interrupting Chen Xue'e's next words.
His chest rose and fell, he let out a heavy breath, and looked at Ji Chongfeng again.
"Actually, Chengzu is not my ideal candidate. As you said, Chengzu is too generous. In this dust star where there are so many powerful people, this kind of temperament is not suitable for taking charge of such a large family." Ji Liao said, paused and then Said, "But what Chengzu said is not unreasonable. The family talks about family ties and bloodlines, so it puts family ties first and bloodline second. Although those people are from other surnames, the descendants of the five generations have been cut off from the past. I give Their surname is Ji, and they are allowed to intermarry with the Ji clan, how can they be ruthless? Humans are not grass and trees, even the cats and dogs you have raised for many years should have feelings. "
Ji Liao's words were serious and thoughtful, and his voice echoed in the hall.
"Ask yourself, Ji Liao and I have never favored one over the other. Although Chengzu is not suitable for the head of the family, you are not suitable for being cold-tempered. Family inheritance should be based on strict laws and human affairs. Although the Ji family has a foundation of more than 10,000 years , but looking at the dust star is still too small, for the sake of my family, I chose the latter."
Ji Liao spoke sincerely and expressed his thoughts without reservation.
A sneer appeared on Ji Chongfeng's face. He ignored what Ji Liao said before and only listened to what he said later.
"In other words, this family will be destroyed if it is handed over to me?"
"Hey..." Ji Liao let out a long sigh, as if all his strength had been exhausted, and a sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously. His dark eyes swayed slightly, and he finally gave in, "Since you don't accept my decision, I will no longer persist, I will set up three tests, if either of you two gets the second, you can become the head of the Ji family."
As the leader of the clan, Ji Liao is the father of the two of them. No matter what, he cannot let the family break up, and must still try his best to keep the harmony of the family.
A smile finally appeared on Ji Chongfeng's cold face. He glanced at Ji Chengzu and said with a smile, "Father, I can tell you that if there is a draw, I, Ji Chongfeng, will never lose to him, Ji Chengzu."
Ji Liao turned his gaze to Ji Chengzu and asked, "Chengzu, what do you mean?"
Ji Chengzu nodded, "My son had no intention of competing for the position of clan leader, but now it seems that my father's inheritance must not fall into Chongfeng's hands. My son's willingness to compete depends entirely on his father's decision."
"Now I have set up three tests. In the first test, all the people present are of our family's blood. Let them choose one of you two. The one who is chosen the most will win."
Ji Chongfeng frowned slightly when he heard this.
He has a cold nature and never likes to interact with others. This is true for others, as well as for the close relatives present. He is well aware of his position in their hearts. It is estimated that except for his mother and her wife, no third person here would choose him. .
Without giving them time to react, Ji Liao spoke again, "In the second test, you two will compete in the arena. The winner will be the winner."
Ji Chongfeng, who was a little worried just now, laughed after hearing Ji Liao's words, and turned to look at Ji Chengzu, "Hahaha, if I rely on my strength, I can let Chengzu make three moves."
Ji Chengzu stroked his beard under his chin, his expression remained unchanged, and he smiled casually, "I haven't competed with my third brother for a long time. I don't know how far my third brother has practiced now. I just happened to take this opportunity to try my hand with my third brother."
"That's very good. During the competition, please give your best to my second brother."
"Selecting a clan leader will attract the attention of the whole clan. Therefore, the third test is for all the clan members of Tianhai Immortal Island to choose between the two of you. The one with the most will win." Ji Liao said the last test.
Ji Chengzu and Ji Chongfeng couldn't help but frown at the same time after hearing Ji Liao's third test. There are now hundreds of thousands of people on Haixian Island. It would take a long time to choose one by one.
But that's okay. Both of them are the sons of Ji Liao. Although people on Tianhai Fairy Island know them, they don't have much contact with them. Elections based on rumors can avoid the disadvantages of forming cliques. Relatively speaking, even It was fairer than Ji Liao's first test.
"Can you agree?" Ji Liao asked.
"My child is willing." Ji Chengzu said with his hands in hand.
"I am willing too!" Ji Chongfeng said.
"Okay, now let's start the first test. You take your choice." Ji Liao waved his hand weakly.
He had no choice but to set up these three tests. Although both parties involved agreed, it inevitably made Ji Liao, a father, feel uncomfortable.
Everyone in the field immediately looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't expect that there would be a choice between passing positions today.
Ji Chengzu was the son of Ji Xiu Niang, and Ji Chongfeng was the son of Long Ji. Choosing one of the two was like a quarrel. For a while, no one said anything, and they didn't know how to choose.
"I choose Chengzu!" At this time, Yu Yunzhao, who was beside Ji Liao, was the first to speak and directly chose Ji Chengzu.
Everyone looked towards the high platform at the same time.
Yu Yunzhao's golden eyes swept across the crowd, and he slowly spoke, "This important family matter should not be treated as a trivial matter. Are you hesitant and want to ignore the family because of favors?"
"Hey... I choose Chengzu." Ji Xiu Niang, who has always regarded herself as a wife, sighed and said.
"I choose Chengzu!" Huo Liuli said immediately.
"I choose Chengzu!" Zhen Ling'er said.
"I choose Chengzu!" Chen Xue'e said.
"I choose the second brother."
"I choose the second brother!"
"I choose the second uncle!"
"I choose the second uncle."
As Ji Xiu Niang and others spoke, Ji Nianshuang, Ji Nianyue, Ji Jiuer, Cai Zhihong, and other three and four generations of the Ji family spoke one after another. They were surprisingly unanimous, and they all chose Ji Chengzu, and none of them chose Ji Chongfeng.
Although he had known this result for a long time, when he heard that everyone had chosen Ji Chengzu, Ji Chongfeng's face still became more and more ugly. In this hall, he felt like he was spurned by thousands of people and abandoned by everyone.
After a cup of tea, everyone had finished speaking. Except for Long Ji, Ji Zihe and Ji Chongfeng's wife Ji Hongfu, who remained silent, they all chose Ji Chengzu.
Ji Chongfeng's face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes were as cold as the twelfth lunar month. Everyone in the field saw this and remembered it in their hearts.
"I choose Chengzu!" Ji Zihe said at this time.
"Sister, you..." Ji Chongfeng's eyes narrowed, and he didn't expect that Ji Zihe also chose Chengzu instead of him.
You must know that Ji Zihe and he are siblings. In comparison, Ji Chengzu is an outsider. How could Ji Zihe choose someone else? Ji Chongfeng suddenly felt betrayed.
"I...I also choose Chengzu." Ji Hongfu said solemnly. After speaking, Ji Hongfu glanced at Ji Chongfeng apologetically.
"Hmph!" Ji Chongfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and hummed heavily.
Long Ji felt distressed when she saw Ji Chongfeng's appearance. She glanced at Ji Liao quietly and found that Ji Liao was also looking at her and nodded slightly to her.
Long Ji sighed softly, "I choose Chongfeng."
This sound was like a warm current rising from the thousands of years of ice. Ji Chongfeng turned his eyes and looked at Long Ji, his cold face finally relieved.
"Okay, today's competition, Chengzu wins, the next competition will be held in three days, you all go back, I am tired too." Ji Liao said.
