Sister-in-law: I’m really not a fool anymore

Although the old man's voice was not loud, the whole place suddenly fell silent when he spoke so softly!
Because this old man has been a servant living in the Fang family for many years. Xia Jiangyuan is originally of the same generation as Fang Chengshan’s grandfather.

His strength has also reached the level of Martial Saint!
When the old man of the Fang family was still alive, he could easily intimidate Xia Jiangyuan!
But after the old man passed away, Xia Jiangyuan's qualifications, strength, and prestige were no less than those of the patriarch Fang Shiao.

When Fang Chengshan was confirmed as the next person in charge, Xia Jiangyuan was somewhat unhappy.

But unfortunately, the old man is still here, and Fang Chengshan's talent and strength are indeed strong enough among the younger generation... So, he didn't say much.

But now... Fang Chengshan and the old man are both dead, so when choosing a new successor, Xia Jiangyuan will definitely push Fang Chao, whom he supports!
"Mr. Xia, you... aren't you a little too anxious?" Fang Shiao's face turned dark and his brows immediately frowned.

In his heart, he cursed Xia Jiangyuan's ancestors for eighteen generations!
Nima!

Are you in such a hurry?

My son just died, and I'm so anxious to confirm Fang Chao's identity?
The second wife can't wait at all.

Fang Shiao looked to the side and saw a middle-aged man in a purple robe sitting there. It was Fang Shixun, the second son of the Fang family and Fang Chao's father!
Xia Jiangyuan supports the second branch!
"Shiao, there's no need to rush! Chengshan is dead, and this is a fact that cannot be changed... This matter has spread in the ancient martial arts world, and it has had a huge impact on the Fang family and our internal affairs! If we don't quickly determine a new successor, the internal situation may become unstable, right?"

While Xia Jiangyuan was speaking, he glanced around the hall.

The Guwu Fang family has dozens of branches. When the representatives of each branch saw Xia Jiangyuan's gaze, they were stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded and agreed, "Yes! Old Xia is right, we must stabilize the internal situation first, and then talk about revenge!"

"Yes! The person is already dead, there is no way to change it. Let's stabilize the internal situation first, and then we can slowly plan for revenge later!"

"I think Young Master Fang Chao is pretty good. His strength has already reached the level of Martial Emperor. As long as he has enough resources, he will soon break through to Martial Saint!"

In an instant, more than half of the people at the scene agreed with Xia Jiangyuan!
Many branch representatives who had previously remained neutral now stood up and expressed their attitudes.

Now the situation is very clear!

Although Fang Shiao is still a strong man at the level of Martial Emperor, he is also in the position of head of the family.

But Fang Shiao is already old, and according to his talent, it is almost impossible for him to break through to the Martial Saint level in this lifetime. And Fang Chengshan, the only one who has reached the Martial Saint level, has already died... There is no hope for the eldest house where the patriarch is!
In this case, if those neutral branch representatives still stand on their side, are they crazy?

Although Fang Shiao was angry, he had to accept the current situation.

After my father passed away, I still had Chengshan to support me, but now... I am alone and feel like the situation is hopeless.

Given the situation today, if I don’t agree to Xia Jiangyuan’s words, I’m afraid this matter will not end here.

Moreover, if he did not agree to Mr. Xia, then his son's revenge would probably be left unresolved.

After all, if they didn’t get Xia Jiangyuan’s support, the strong men in the family probably wouldn’t go to the secular world to avenge Chengshan.

"Everyone, be quiet! I've thought about it and feel that what Elder Xia said makes sense. We should indeed determine the next successor to the leadership. I propose that Fang Chao be nominated as the next successor since he has both great talent and influence. What do you think?"

Fang Shiao actually has other candidates. For example, among the younger generation, there are several other young people with similar abilities to Fang Chao. They have no branch support behind them and are easy to control and win over.

But the problem lies here too. Without the support of the power, even if Fang Shiao forcefully pushes them forward, they won't be able to keep their composure. Moreover, they can't respond to support Fang Shiao!
Although Fang Shiao was talking to everyone in the hall, his eyes were looking at Xia Jiangyuan.

There were many core members present, but Fang Shiao knew that the only one who played a decisive role was Xia Jiangyuan!
Originally, the Fang family had three martial saints: the old man, Fang Chengshan, and Xia Jiangyuan.

But now that the old man and Fang Chengshan are both dead, the Fang family still has to rely on Xia Jiangyuan at the master level... they must serve this Old Xia well!
Although Xia Jiangyuan supports Fang Chao, Fang Chao is still a member of the Fang family after all, and the family heritage will not be lost!
"I also think that Fang Chao is a good young man! Let's just settle this. Just inform all the members of the Fang family... and all the resources and treatment that should be allocated will be allocated!" Xia Jiangyuan didn't beat around the bush and made the final decision directly!
"Congratulations! Mr. Fang!"

"Congratulations, Master Fang Chao!"

Most of the people at the scene changed their expressions instantly, and turned to congratulate a young man in white at the side.

It seems that everyone has forgotten that Fang Chengshan and all the elite members of the Fang family died in Shangjing.

This should have been a very sad thing, but everyone actually smiled and congratulated Fang Chao.

Fang Shiao's face was gloomy and ashen, and he looked at Xia Jiangyuan again.

Xia Jiangyuan then stroked his beard slowly, and then said, "Alright! Now that the successor has been decided, let's talk about Chengshan's revenge!"

The lively situation at the scene suddenly became quiet again!

Everyone turned their eyes to Xia Jiangyuan!

Although Old Xia is not the head of the Fang family now, he is better than the head of the family. Especially after Fang Chengshan's death, there is no one in the entire Fang family who can check and balance Xia Jiangyuan.

"Shi Ao, I have a suggestion! All the Fang family's golden-armored warriors should be dispatched and led by Fang Chao to Shangjing to seek revenge on Fan Ye!"

"what?"

Xia Jiangyuan's words instantly stunned Fang Shiao!

what's the situation?
Although Fang Shiao acknowledged Fang Chao's position as successor, this was actually an exchange of interests.

He used this position of successor to gain Xia Jiangyuan's support and avenge his son.

But Xia Jiangyuan directly asked Fang Chao to lead the team to Shangjing to seek revenge on Fan Ye?

Isn't this too exaggerated?
This is a bit too sincere!

"Mr. Xia, isn't this a bad idea? Going to the capital is definitely a dangerous move, and there is a possibility of conflict with Prince Jin... If something unexpected happens in the Fang Dynasty again, our Fang family can't afford it!"

Xia Jiangyuan smiled evilly, "What are you afraid of? I will go with you! Besides, Fang Chao has replaced Fang Chengshan, so it is only right for him to avenge Fang Chengshan! If you don't have this much responsibility, how can you become the next leader in the future?"

That makes sense!

But I always feel something is wrong! (End of this chapter)
