Today's competition was really strange. There were those who pretended to be strong, and now there were those who abandoned the competition and ran away! He had never encountered such a problem before, so he didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Let the others compete first! If Shi Yuchuan doesn't return by the end of the competition, then it will be considered as Jia Renzhong's victory! "Jia Jinyan was also very helpless, but for the sake of fairness, he could only do so.
Uncle Gui nodded his head in understanding. Although he knew that Shi Yuchuan definitely wouldn't return, he still arranged for Jia Renzhong to wait below the stage and let the other contestants continue with the competition.
As expected, even after all the competitions had ended, Shi Yuchuan was still nowhere to be seen. Jia Renzhong won without a fight and obtained three points. At the same time, it also represented the official end of the Jia Clan's three-day competition.
After Uncle Gui announced Jia Renzhong's points, Jia Jinyan stood up and smiled at all the outsiders who came to participate in the competition. He cupped his fists and bowed to all the outsiders who came to participate. He said amiably, "Alright, the external competition has ended. Once again, on behalf of the Jia Clan, I would like to thank all the disciples from the various sects and clans for coming to the Jia Clan to support us! Now, please move to the guest hall. My trusted aide will be here to entertain everyone. According to my promise, spiritual jades will be distributed according to the results of the competition! "
After saying that, Jia Jinyan made a gesture of invitation and sent the guests of the external competition out of the Martial Arts Hall.
The guests who came to participate in the competition also knew that what happened next had nothing to do with them, so they walked to the guest hall in groups of twos and threes.
Some of the friends who were already familiar with each other usually didn't see each other often due to their busy training missions. It was a good opportunity to catch up. Some of the newcomers also wanted to take the opportunity to expand their network. After a while, all the guests in the Martial Arts Hall had left, leaving only the disciples of the Jia Clan.
Lady Xing had a mission and didn't want to be too far away from Xiao Chen. However, considering that it wasn't appropriate for her to stay here alone, she hesitated for a while and felt that Xiao Chen wouldn't suddenly run out of the Jia Clan at this time. Hence, she chose to leave the Martial Arts Hall first.
After all the guests had left, the disciples of the Jia Clan consciously lined up in front of Jia Jinyan and waited for the Clan Leader's instructions.
Jia Jinyan swept his gaze across the audience and said solemnly, "After a few days of competition, I believe everyone has a deeper understanding of their own abilities! Although there's definitely a difference between the competition and reality, and the person who gets first place might not be able to manage the entire family well, since it's a legacy, there must be a result! "
At this point, Jia Jinyan paused slightly and glanced at the disciples of the Jia Clan below the stage. He saw that at this moment, their expressions were all different. Some of them looked calm, some were dejected, some were resentful and unwilling, and so on and so forth.
Jia Jinyan took a deep breath and said loudly, "Next, I will announce the winner of this competition!"
Everyone's expression immediately tensed up. Many people clenched their fists tightly and stared at Jia Jinyan. The atmosphere suddenly became a lot more tense. Only Xiao Chen leisurely sat on the side with his legs crossed, looking like he didn't care at all.
Picking up the form on the table, Jia Jinyan said word by word, "The champion of this year's Clans Tournament is Jia Musen, who obtained 16 Patriarch points! According to the rules of the tournament, he will become the next successor of the Clan Leader! Jia Huoyan and Jia Tuyao are ranked second and third respectively. They will become the next successor of the Clan Leader! "
Turning a page, Jia Jinyan read again, "In the competition of the collateral disciples, the champion is Jia Renzhong. He will also become the successor of the Clan Leader. As for the other collateral disciples, don't be discouraged. Continue to work hard. As long as you can perform well in the future, you will also have the opportunity to be promoted to the Clan Leader!"
Although they already knew the result, the moment they heard Jia Jinyan's announcement, Jia Huoyan and Jia Tuyao still found it hard to accept.
They looked at each other and saw the unwillingness in each other's eyes. They had thought that two tigers could not share the same mountain. As long as they could defeat each other, they could smoothly become the successor of the Clan Leader. They didn't expect that Jia Musen, who had been ostracized and forced to run away from home, would suddenly appear out of nowhere and ruin their original plan!
"Alright, everyone has worked hard for the past few days. I'm sure you are all tired." After announcing the name list, Jia Jinyan's tone softened slightly. "Tonight, the Clan has prepared a sumptuous banquet. Firstly, it is to celebrate the birth of the new Clan Leader. Secondly, it is to reward everyone. I hope that when the time comes, the disciples of the Clan and their external helpers can arrive on time and participate in the banquet!"
After finishing his announcement, seeing that no one raised any objections, Jia Jinyan packed up his things and prepared to leave the Martial Arts Hall with his trusted aides.
"Clan Leader, please wait!" Jia Jinyan had not gone far when he heard a familiar voice behind him.
Jia Jinyan turned his head and saw that it was Xiao Chen walking over. He stopped in his tracks.
Xiao Chen walked up to Jia Jinyan, bowed to him, and asked with a smile, "I have a question to ask Clan Leader. Since Jia Musen has won, when can he officially become the Clan Leader of the Jia Clan?"
"Xiao! Chen! You have quite the guts! This is our Jia Clan's matter. Since when is it up to an outsider like you to intervene!? " Jia Huoyan was already extremely depressed that he had not become the Clan Leader's successor. When he heard Xiao Chen's words, he was immediately provoked. Without waiting for Jia Jinyan to speak, Jia Huoyan roared angrily.
Jia Tuyao, who was standing at the side, also had a displeased expression. He sneered in a lukewarm tone, "That's right. You have to understand your own identity. You are just an external helper. Do you really think that you are not an outsider?"
"Sigh, why is it that every time I want to ask Clan Leader some questions, you two losers always like to jump out and interrupt? Have you lost your minds after losing the match, or do you really want to show your existence? "Xiao Chen retorted impatiently.
He did not ask this question for no reason. After all, all of Xiao Chen's plans in the future were based on Jia Musen becoming the Clan Leader.
However, Jia Jinyan had only announced that Jia Musen would become the next Clan Leader. He had not clearly stated when he would take over. That was why Xiao Chen was a little anxious.
After all, his father was still in an abyss of suffering. If he could not find out his father's whereabouts as soon as possible, he was afraid that a long delay would bring trouble!
"Forget it, Xiao Chen. Grandfather will naturally make arrangements. He must have his reasons for not letting me directly become the Clan Leader. Don't be too impulsive." Jia Musen pulled on Xiao Chen's sleeve and comforted him softly.
Although he could understand Xiao Chen's eagerness to save his father, his grandfather still had the final say in the entire Jia Clan!
