Chapter 593 The New Head Of The Family

~~

Under everyone's watchful eyes, ye chen returned to the seat next to Ling Yu. Whether it was the members of the wealthy families or Ji zhuoxu, they all spoke to ye chen with respect. What a joke. Ye chen had just spoken directly to those battle-emperors. Although they were similar in age and most of them were older than ye chen, many of them did not even have the right to speak to a battle-Emperor.

Ji zhuoxu's heart turned cold when he thought about how he had tried to cause trouble for ye chen. Although he was the Crown Prince of the Zi Hua divine dynasty, causing trouble for ye chen was no different from seeking death. Fortunately, his sister was married to Ling Yu. All the grudges from before were written off.

"I propose a toast to the Crown Prince." Ye chen raised his glass and said to Ji zhuoxu. He was not the kind of person to hold grudges. He would not let go of any resources that could be used easily. The marriage between the Ji family and the Ling family would only benefit him.

Ji zhuoxu was overwhelmed by ye Chen's generosity. He had been worried that ye chen would bear a grudge against him. He had not expected ye chen to be so magnanimous.

"I was too rash just now. I hope brother ye chen doesn't take offense. I'll punish myself with three cups first!" Ji zhuoxu raised his wine cup and drank it all in one go. After drinking three cups in a row, his previous arrogance was completely gone, and his attitude was extremely sincere.

"Lingyu is my brother. I'll have to ask Your Highness to take care of him in the future." Ye chen said with a faint smile.

of course. Lingyu is not only your brother, but also my brother-in-law. We'll be a family in the future. How would I dare to not do my best? " Ji zhuoxu laughed.

"Your Highness, let me toast to you too." Ling Yu, who was standing at the side, also raised his glass.

When the group of rich and powerful disciples saw this, they all came forward to toast. Although they did not have much confidence in dealing with ye chen, they might be able to climb up a big tree like ye chen through Ling Yu.

Ling Yu instantly became a hot topic, while Ling Cheng and Ling Xu, who were also members of the Ling family, were now being ignored.

Even though Ling Cheng and Ling Xu were the first and second in line to the Ling family's inheritance, who would care about them now? What a joke. Whoever was still entangled with Ling Cheng and Ling Xu would be going against Ling Yu, the Crown Prince, and the terrifying ye clan behind ye chen!

Ling Cheng and Ling Xu had asked for a snub, so they quietly slipped away.

Before he left, Ling Cheng glared at Ling Yu's back with a venomous look. He gritted his teeth and said, " "This kid is really lucky!"

"Big brother, what should we do?" Ling Xu asked. Although he and Ling Cheng had never been on good terms, they were finally on the same side in the face of a common enemy.

"Let's talk after we get back!" Ling Cheng coldly snorted. The only people they could rely on were their parents.

When Ling Cheng and Ling Xu left, their back views were somewhat dejected.

The banquet went on until late at night, and the crowd slowly dispersed.

These war emperors were prepared to stay in the Zi Hua divine dynasty's Imperial City for a period of time. Emperor Yu and Emperor Qin still had to lead the people from the Dao court to build a passage to the purple ring planet in the spirit Fire star's small Tian Yuan world, so they naturally couldn't leave.

As for that lady ruoyun, she had already disappeared without a trace even before the banquet ended.

Ye chen, the snow Emperor, and Ling Yu returned to the Ling residence. When they were leaving, Ji zhuoxu and the other members of the wealthy families politely sent them off for a long time before they returned.

"Great snow Emperor, what is the background of that lady ruoyun?" After returning to the snow Emperor's side courtyard in the Ling family, ye chen hesitated for a moment but still asked tentatively.

"I don't know," The snow Emperor said, shaking his head. He had promised not to reveal the fact that his ruoyun Astral soul's fusion rate had reached 0.

"No news at all?"

although there are many rumors that she is the daughter of a certain deity, no one has ever confirmed it. If you really want to know her origin, I think you have to ask the divine Emperor, the Master of the Court of Dao.

ask the Lord of the Dao court, hehe. ye chen choked. He did not think that with his current status, he would be able to meet the Lord of the Dao court. He was filled with curiosity about ruoyun's identity, especially how ruoyun could trigger the flying Dagger in his mind.

The snow Emperor was probably hiding something. Perhaps he could not say it, so ye chen could only hide his doubts in his heart for the time being.

"Lord Snow Emperor, I wish for Ling Yu to ascend to the position of the Ling family's head within three days. Do you think that's difficult?" Ye chen looked at the snow Emperor and asked. He had to first use a thunderous method to help Ling Yu take the position of clan master. Otherwise, Ling Xiong Jie would still retaliate.

The snow Emperor glanced at ye chen indifferently and said indifferently,"There's basically no problem for Ling Yu to become the head of the Ling family. The princess is marrying Ling Yu, and if I were to let Ling Yu take over as the head of the family, the majority of the Ling family would definitely not object. However, becoming the head of the Ling family does not mean that one can rest easy."

"I understand." Ye chen nodded.

"Thank you, big brother ye chen. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the chance to fight for the position of the Ling family's patriarch, much less marry the princess." Ling Yu said sincerely. He was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Ye chen understood that Ling Yu was completely loyal to him. He smiled slightly and said nothing.

"Even if you take over the Ling family, you must be careful, in case Ling xiongjie tries to fight to the death." Ye chen said to Ling Yu.

Ling Yu nodded his head solemnly.

The next day, when the first rays of the morning sun had just appeared.

In the square in front of the Ling family's law enforcement Hall, all the members of the Ling family in the Imperial City had long since gathered. Last night, the snow Emperor had already sent someone to inform the rest of the clan that they would be holding a clan-wide meeting here today.

Many people had already guessed the purpose of the snow Emperor's morning meeting. The public square was packed with people, and all the powerful members of the Ling family were present. These people had different expressions on their faces. Some were looking forward to it, some were depressed, some were resentful, and some were happy.

Everyone could still clearly remember that at the previous gathering, the patriarch of the Ling family, Ling Xiong Jie, was prepared to lock Ling Yu in the black prison ice cellar. At that time, everyone thought that Ling Yu was dead for sure. However, they did not expect that in just two months, the situation would change. The former patriarch, Ling Xiong Jie, was no longer the patriarch of the Ling family, but Ling Yu had become the popular candidate for the patriarch of the Ling family. He had even become the Prince Consort of the Zi Hua divine dynasty. Who could predict the fate of this life?

The few people who had offended Ling Yu back then, including Ling Gong, were all depressed to death. This time, they were doomed. It was very likely that they would never have the chance to make a comeback in their lifetime. Expecting Ling Yu to forgive them? Even they themselves would not believe such a joke! They had almost killed Ling Yu!

Ling Xiong Jie, Ling Gong, and the others stood in the square, their hearts full of gloom. Ling Xiong Jie's face was frighteningly dark, and his eyes were deep and difficult to read. No one knew what he was thinking.

The acting patriarch, Ling Xiongfeng, as well as the heads and supervisors of the various branch families, as well as the elders of the law enforcement Hall, all stood respectfully in front of the crowd, waiting for the arrival of the snow Emperor.

Close to 3000 Ling family clansmen filled the entire square, much more than the time when Ling Yu was being judged.

After everyone had arrived, the snow Emperor appeared, followed by ye chen and Ling Yu.

As soon as they appeared, everyone's eyes were focused on the three of them.

The snow Emperor sat down on the chair at the front of the square. He looked around at the Ling clan members and said in a deep voice, " "I've gathered everyone here today because I have something to announce."

Ye chen and Ling Yu stood to the side. Ye chen was expressionless. Although Ling Yu was a little excited, only his eyes brightened. He did not show it on his face.

Ling Xiong Jie's face was dark as he stood below and stared at Ling Yu. A malicious light flashed in his eyes. Two months ago, he was still sitting above and looking down at Ling Yu. He didn't expect that their positions would be reversed in the blink of an eye. How could he be willing to accept this!

At this moment, Ling Xiong Feng, who was standing in front of the snow Emperor, suddenly knelt down on one knee.

"Dear Snow Emperor, please forgive Xiongfeng's recklessness. We also have some things to report to the snow Emperor." Ling Xiongfeng said respectfully. He was afraid that others would steal the limelight, so he spoke first.

"Oh? If there's anything you want to say, just say it. " The snow Emperor said.

"Lingyu is young and promising, and he has received the king's recognition. The king has bestowed a marriage to the princess. This is definitely the most glorious thing that has happened to our Ling family in the past few decades. Xiong Feng had a bold suggestion. Since Ling Yu is one of the three successors of the Ling family, this is the best time to choose a new family head. The new clan head of the Ling clan has been born, and he's married to the princess. This is double the joy of the family!" Ling Xiongfeng said, beaming with joy.

"The acting patriarch is right."

we are willing to support Ling Yu as the new head of the family! The branch family heads and the law enforcement elders all knelt down on one knee and shouted.

It was already set in stone that Ling Yu would become the new head of the family, so why wouldn't they hurry up and show their loyalty?

"Have you all made a decision on the new family head?" The snow Emperor said indifferently. He had thought that it would not be so easy to shake Ling Xiong Jie's prestige in the Ling family, but he had not expected that he would not need to say anything more. The tables had turned so quickly.

As expected, when a wall falls, everyone kicks it. When a tree falls, the monkeys scatter.

Since Ling Xiongfeng had taken the initiative to mention it, it saved him some trouble.

Ling Cheng and Ling Xu, who were standing behind Ling xiongjie, were extremely unhappy. They were extremely unwilling to let Ling Yu take away their position as the family head.

Ling xiongjie also felt a sense of powerlessness. In the current situation, he was powerless to change the situation.

The snow Emperor said in a low voice, " I announce that Ling Yu is the new clan head of the Ling clan. The inauguration ceremony will be held the next day. Ling Xiongfeng will be the new Great elder of the law enforcement Hall. He will be in charge of the princess's marriage. Do you have any objections?"

"No objections!"

"It's up to the snow Emperor to decide!"

Many clansmen expressed their opinions.

Ling xiongjie gritted his teeth and suddenly knelt down in front of the snow Emperor, " Lord Snow Emperor, I do not object to Ling Yu becoming the new family head, but I still have some things to say.

"What do you want to say?" The snow Emperor looked at Ling Xiong Jie calmly.

"For the past few decades, I've done my best for the Ling family. I hope that the great snow Emperor can be lenient and allow me to go to the Tianhua divine dynasty to help the family manage the business there. I will have no regrets then." Ling xiongjie lowered his head and said in a seemingly sincere manner.
