The next day, the Chen Family announced Xinluo and Xinran's wedding on the sixth day of the next month. There were still more than 20 days before the wedding.
Everyone on the Emerald Cloud Peak was pleasantly surprised when they heard the news.
Since the date was set, everything was set, including the date of Chen Hongyuan's succession to the position of Family Head.
However, the Chen Family's disciples did not know that Chen Hongyuan was about to succeed as Family Head.
Today, all the Chen Family's elders, masters, and even Chen Hongxing, Chen Hongyuan, and some of the more prestigious members of the Chen Family were all summoned to the Yuhua Hall by the Family Head.
When everyone entered the hall, they realized that the person sitting on the main seat was not the Family Head, Chen Tianxing, but an old man.
Some people might be puzzled when they saw this old man, but the few people with the highest statuses all respectfully walked up to him and greeted him.
"Greetings, Patriarch!"
"Greetings, Patriarch!" Those who did not know the old man immediately went up to greet him when they heard that he was the Patriarch.
"Well, since you're here, please take a seat. I asked Tian Xing to gather everyone here today, mainly to announce two things!" Chen Hongning nodded and said to everyone below.
No one dared to interrupt in front of the Patriarch. However, everyone was confused.
They did not know what was so important that the Patriarch would appear here personally.
Chen Hongning continued, "The first thing is the wedding of Chen Xinran and Xinluo. I have discussed it with Chen Tianxing yesterday and the date is set for the sixth day of the next month. I believe you have heard the news today!"
Everyone was confused. They did not expect that the wedding of Chen Xinran and Xinluo would alarm the Patriarch and that he had specially chosen a date for them.
Some of the elders who had been dissatisfied with this matter did not know what to do.
After all, they were also elders of the Chen Family. They felt that Chen Tianxing did not discuss the date with them before deciding on the date. He was not taking them seriously.
However, now that they knew that the decision was made by the Patriarch, they could only swallow their dissatisfaction. No matter how dissatisfied they were, they would not dare to argue with the Patriarch.
"However, today, I will mainly talk about the second matter, which affects the future of the Chen family!" Chen Hongning continued.
Everyone took a deep breath, and the atmosphere became tense. They didn't understand what the Old Ancestor meant. It seemed that the Chen Clan might not be involved.
Especially Chen Hongxing, when he saw Chen Hongyuan smile at him, he couldn't help but feel his heart tighten. Could it be the thing he was most worried about?
If that was the case, with so many big shots of the Chen Family here, he might not be able to escape.
He couldn't help but clench his fists. If Chen Hongyuan really told this matter to the Old Ancestor, he could only rush out of here no matter what. Otherwise, he might directly die here.
"Ancestor, I wonder what it is that requires you to personally announce it!" The Great Elder asked.
He had just received news from the back of the mountain that something had happened to their Ancestor, Chen Xiude.
When he asked the messenger what had happened, he only said, "He was crippled by someone."
However, when he asked who had crippled him, the messenger didn't tell him, which made him very anxious.
This was because the back of the mountain was where all the Old Ancestors of the Chen Family lived. Except for some people with special status in the Chen Family, no one could enter the back of the mountain, not even the disciples of the Chen Family.
Chen Xiude hadn't left the back of the mountain for many years, but now he had been crippled. Could it be that he had done something wrong and was crippled by the more distinguished Old Ancestors in the back of the mountain?
If that was the case, would it affect them?
Now that Chen Hongning had come out of the back of the mountain and summoned everyone to the meeting in such a serious manner, it meant that the problem was very serious.
Therefore, he was very nervous and worried. He was afraid that Chen Xiude had really done something wrong to the Chen Family, which led to such a disaster.
"I have decided to let Chen Hongyuan inherit the position of the Chen Family's Family Head, on the day of Xinluo and Xinran's wedding. I will send someone to inform the Eight Great Families to attend the inauguration ceremony! "Chen Hongning said loudly.
Boom!
As soon as this news came out, everyone in the hall, except for Chen Hongyuan and Chen Tianxing, felt as if their brains were going to explode in an instant.
Everyone's expression changed drastically. Everything had happened too quickly, and it had even exceeded everyone's imagination.
Chen Hongning's serious expression just now made everyone realize that something big was going to happen today, but they didn't expect it to be this.
Chen Hongxing felt as if he was going crazy. He thought that Chen Hongyuan had told the Old Ancestor about his past. He even planned to rush out of the hall as soon as the Old Ancestor finished speaking.
However, just as he was about to move his legs, he almost fell to the ground.
"How is this possible? The Old Ancestor actually appointed the next Chen Family Head. Why is this happening? "Chen Hongxing's expression was uncertain.
Right now, he was completely confused about the situation. Things had changed too quickly, and it was far beyond his expectations. For a moment, he was completely dumbfounded.
He looked at Chen Hongyuan, then at Chen Tianxing and Chen Hongning. He couldn't figure out how Chen Hongyuan suddenly became the new Chen Family Head.
"Could it be that Chen Hongyuan told the Old Ancestor about it, so the Old Ancestor passed the position to him? Will I be in trouble? Will the Old Ancestor still look for trouble with me? "At this moment, Chen Hongxing didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.
He should laugh because the Old Ancestor didn't seem to have any intention of punishing him, regardless of whether what he did to Chen Hongyuan was exposed or not.
However, he should cry because he inexplicably lost the position of the Chen Family Head all of a sudden. He had made a lot of preparations to get this position over the years.
He didn't expect to lose it so suddenly. It was too fast.
It was so fast that he didn't seem to know what kind of feeling it was. Or perhaps it should be said that he was numb to it, so numb that he couldn't feel anything.
"Old Ancestor, the current Family Head is still young and hasn't reached the realm of Tribulation Passing. Why is the Old Ancestor suddenly changing the Family Head?" As the Great Elder, he still had the right to ask questions, even though he was facing the Old Ancestor.
In fact, this was also the question in the minds of everyone present. They didn't understand why the Old Ancestor suddenly changed the Family Head, and the person who was replaced was not the first heir, but the second heir.
