Chapter 3421: You Know My Background Very Well

Editor: Atlas Studios

Those in the Righteousness Hall couldn’t continue guessing what would happen next when Xie Yun arrived.

Everyone tacitly shut their mouths and waited for Ji Lingfeng to arrive.

After Xie Yun went in, she found a seat and sat down. He Lin’s men served her a cup of tea. She picked it up and took a sip.

The others couldn’t tell what she was thinking. They exchanged glances and could only give up!

Half an hour later.

Just as everyone in the Hall was getting restless, Ji Lingfeng finally arrived.

“The Patriarch is here!”

“Look, it’s the Patriarch.”

“Finally.”

There was a commotion in the Righteousness Hall.

Only Xie Yun remained sitting. She didn’t even raise her head, as if the person who arrived was irrelevant.

Second Elder looked at her expression and frowned slightly as an uneasy feeling arose in his heart.

However, he couldn’t figure out where his uneasiness came from.

Soon, Ji Lingfeng walked out of the crowd and sat at the head of the table.

Only now did Second Elder, Fourth Elder, and the others realize his bad complexion. The thin bones on his strong face protruded. The others realized it was far from what Xie Yun had said about the rumors outside being fake.

The Patriarch’s current state was visibly serious. As for how serious it was? They couldn’t tell with just a look.

However, it was definitely more complex than being injured and not recovering.

Second Elder considered for a while before breaking the silence. “Patriarch, why did you call us here this time?”

The Righteousness Hall, which had been rustling, instantly fell silent.

All eyes were on the man sitting at the head of the table.

He Lin stood behind Ji Lingfeng and felt his heart tighten when he saw their gazes. He couldn’t help but sweat on the Patriarch’s behalf.

From Second Elder’s attitude, what the Patriarch wanted to do was probably not simple!

Ji Lingfeng placed his hand on the table and, with no change in his mature and tough face, calmly said, “I have something to discuss with everyone.”

“What is it?”

“Patriarch, please speak.”

Many people talked at once.

Most people maintained a cautious attitude and did not talk easily.

Ji Lingfeng’s eagle-like sharp gaze swept across everyone, not stopping at any one of them. His gaze only paused on Xie Yun for a moment before moving away.

The power in his gaze was still there, and many people lowered their heads the moment he looked at them.

Ji Lingfeng did not care. “As you can see, my health is not very good. According to the Ji family’s rules, I have to choose a successor for my position. Who do you think is suitable?”

Second Elder and Fourth Elder looked at each other, seeing surprise and caution in each other’s eyes.

The Patriarch suddenly admitted in public that his health was not good. This was unprecedented! Moreover, the Patriarch mentioned the successor at this time…n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Second Elder hesitated before throwing the question back. “Patriarch, do you have a suitable candidate?”

He reckoned that Ji Lingfeng had chosen a suitable candidate. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought up this topic.

Sure enough.

Ji Lingfeng didn’t even beat around the bush. “There are two people left in the direct line of descent of the Ji family. One is my son, Ji Nan, and the other is my… niece, Qiao Nian.”

He looked at the elders around the table. “You should know my background very well. Strictly speaking, I’m only half a direct descendant. I can’t even be considered a direct descendant.”
