It wasn't just the Chen Family that had a Patriarch. All the Nine Great Families had Patriarchs.
However, these Patriarchs didn't care about these mundane matters at all. Otherwise, why would they need a Family Head?
These Patriarchs might ascend one day, so who would have time to care about these trivial matters every day? However, Chen Tianxing pushed everything to the Chen Family's Patriarch. This was clearly a perfunctory act.
"Patriarch Situ, I'm not being perfunctory. What you just said will indeed be handled by our Patriarch. If you don't believe me, you'll know in a few days. These matters will be handled by our Patriarch personally. I have absolutely no intention of deceiving you!" Chen Tianxing said.
"Is this true? Will your Patriarch personally handle these matters in a few days?" Situ Xiong was a little surprised to hear this.
If Chen Tianxing was really being perfunctory today, he wouldn't give him face.
However, Chen Tianxing didn't seem to be lying when he said this. After all, Chen Tianxing wasn't so bored as to use the Patriarch as a cover.
Moreover, what surprised him was that if the Chen Family's Patriarch really came out to handle these matters this time, did it mean that something big had really happened in the Chen Family?
"Patriarch Situ, please wait patiently for a few days. As long as the people from the Eight Great Families are all here, we'll tell everyone the news!" Chen Tianxing said with a smile.
"In that case, I won't make things difficult for you. Let's wait a few days!" Although Situ Xiong was curious, he also knew that Chen Tianxing wouldn't tell him the truth today no matter what.
He had no other choice but to wait.
Although he wasn't afraid of the Chen Family, he couldn't cause trouble in the Chen Family. That would only embarrass himself.
In addition, he still didn't know what had happened in the Chen Family. If he left just like that, not only would he waste so much time, but he might also benefit others.
"Thank you for your understanding, Patriarch Situ. I'll send someone to arrange accommodation for Patriarch Situ and the distinguished guests of the Situ Family to rest now!" Chen Tianxing said with a smile.
Hearing that Situ Xiong was finally going to leave, Chen Tianxing also breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that Situ Xiong would continue to pester him like this, but the prestige of the Old Ancestor was really useful.
However, he wasn't lying. Putting aside Xinluo and Xinran's marriage, at the very least, Chen Hongyuan's ascension to the position of the new Family Head was something that the Old Ancestor had to personally deal with.
Not only was it to appease the members of the Eight Great Clans, but it was also to make it easier for the Chen Clan to accept Chen Hongyuan.
Although Chen Hongyuan's prestige in the Chen family was very high because of Chen Hongxing's incident, there was still a part of him who was not convinced.
The patriarchs had also considered this point, so the Patriarch of Chen Hongning had specially asked the Patriarch of Chen Hongxuan to represent them. Because the Patriarch of Chen Hongning had yet to recover from his injuries, it was naturally impossible for him to attend at this time.
Patriarch, the Situ Family seems to be very concerned about the marriage. If they knew that we have already betrothed Xinran to Cheng Yu's senior brother, I'm afraid that the Situ Family will cause a ruckus The Second Elder said.
Don't worry, the Situ Family naturally wouldn't dare to make this matter public. Could it be that they want to tell the Ji Family or the Nangong Family that they are trying to rope in our Chen Family?
This matter can only be a secret. Situ Xiong isn't that stupid. Even if he knows that we have betrothed Xinran to someone else, he can only be secretly angry about it Chen Tianxing said.
But I am worried that the Situ Family will make things difficult for us in the future. After all, it will still take a long time for our Chen Family to rise. And now, the Situ Family is one of the three great families among the nine great families. It's not a good thing to offend them The Second Elder said worriedly.
Didn't you approve of me marrying Xinran to the Situ Family? Why are you saying such things now? Chen Tianxing frowned and looked at the Second Elder.
This guy was really fickle. Back then, when he proposed to marry Xinran to the Situ Family, he even quarreled with the Great Elder. At that time, he had tried his best to make Xinran and Xinluo marry.
But now, he said such things to him. He couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied in his heart.
Patriarch, I didn't mean it like that. I am just worried about the future of the Chen Family. I have never approved of marrying Xinran to the Situ Family.
It's just that our Chen Family is weak now. How can it be good to survive in the middle of several great families? I only hope that our Chen Family can rise quickly under the leadership of Hongyuan. This way, we don't have to care about the faces of these families The Second Elder shook his head and said.
"This is the tragedy of the weak. Compared to our Chen Family, aren't the other aristocratic families the same? Although everyone wants to become one of the three great aristocratic families, it's really difficult to make an aristocratic family rise. Otherwise, our Chen family wouldn't have declined for so many years! "Chen Tianxing said with a sigh.
I don't know if this Cheng Yu is reliable or not. Is he really willing to set up two more formations for our Chen Family? If we have three or four formations, we might be able to rise in a short period of time The Second Elder asked.
I don't know about that, but I know that Cheng Yu has a grudge with the Situ Family Chen Tianxing smiled.
Oh? There's such a thing? I wonder how did the Patriarch know about this? The Second Elder said with some surprise.
This is what he said himself. Now that we have married Xinran to his senior brother, I think that when the time comes, the Situ Family will really make things difficult for us or make things difficult for our Chen Family. That Cheng Yu can't just watch from the sidelines right Chen Tianxing said.
Patriarch, no matter how powerful Cheng Yu is, he is only one person. I don't think his senior brothers and sisters are as capable as him. I am a little worried that if Cheng Yu really has a grudge with the Situ Family, when the time comes and the Situ Family knows that we married Xinran to his enemy's senior brother, but not to the Situ Family, will they be even more unfriendly to our Chen Family? Obviously, the Second Elder's thoughts were completely different from Chen Tianxing's.
Don't worry, Cheng Yu is stronger than what we saw that day. Hongyuan once reminded me that with Cheng Yu's strength, even if the nine great families join forces, they still won't be able to kill Cheng Yu. You can think about how strong Cheng Yu is Chen Tianxing said after thinking for a while.
The Second Elder has a good relationship with Chen Hongyuan and he will be going to the back mountain in a few days.
Therefore, he also hopes that the Second Elder can properly assist Chen Hongyuan in the future. There is nothing wrong with telling him these things. On the contrary, it will allow him to better deal with the relationship between Chen Hongyuan and Cheng Yu.
If this matter is not explained clearly, when he sees that Chen Hongyuan and Cheng Yu are too close, there may be new contradictions and distrust.
