"Family Heads, please take a seat. I know that it's a bit rushed for you to come to the Chen Family despite your busy schedule. This invitation was personally sent to all of you by my Senior Brother. Now that he's in closed-door cultivation, this old man can only apologize to all of you. " Chen Hongxuan did not use his status to pressure these juniors. He spoke very politely.
"We wouldn't dare!" Although the Family Heads did not agree with him, they still spoke politely.
After all, Chen Hongxuan was a senior who was several generations older than them. No matter how unhappy they were, they did not dare to show any dissatisfaction in front of him.
"Senior, you are too polite. Regardless of whether something big has happened in the Chen Family, I feel honored to be able to see you here!" Dongfang Hong said with a smile.
The Dongfang Family had always been close to the Chen Family, so they were naturally more polite when they spoke.
"Good, good, good! Since everyone is here, I won't waste any more of your time. It's very simple. It was originally just one thing, but since everyone is here, I'll take a look before leaving.
First, we will be holding a ceremony tomorrow to elect a new Family Head. Second, the day after tomorrow is the wedding day of Xinran. I hope that all of you can attend the ceremony! "Chen Hongxuan said with a smile.
Wow!
Although it was not a big deal for the Chen Family to change the Family Head, it was all too sudden.
Wasn't Chen Tianxing doing well? Why was there a sudden change of Family Head?
"Senior, Family Head Tianxing is doing well. Why is there a sudden change of Family Head?" Dongfang Hong was also very surprised. Obviously, he did not expect to come to the Chen Family to attend the ceremony to elect a new Family Head.
However, this was too sudden. When they met at the entrance of the Dead Zone, Chen Tianxing did not show any signs of a change of Family Head. Why was there a change of Family Head all of a sudden?
"This is the result of a discussion between Tianxing and my Senior Brother. Therefore, the decision was made in a hurry. Because of this, we did not have time to explain clearly to everyone. At that time, we had already sent out invitations to all of you. Therefore, please forgive us for our rudeness!" Chen Hongxuan said.
"Senior, who is the new Family Head of the Chen Family?" Jiang Wuya asked curiously.
"It's Tianxing's second son, Chen Hongyuan!" Chen Hongxuan said.
"Chen Hongyuan? As far as I know, the eldest son of the Tianhang Family's Patriarch is supposed to be the Chen Family's number one successor. Why would the Chen Family's Second Young Master suddenly take over? "Situ Xiong frowned.
Originally, changing the family head of the Chen Family wasn't a big deal. But now, it made the other family heads feel that the Chen Family wasn't normal. Everything happened too quickly, so quickly that it didn't make sense.
Furthermore, the new head of the Chen family was not the eldest young master of the Chen family, but the second young master of the Chen family. This was even more abnormal.
In addition, Chen Hongyuan had returned from the Dead Zone. Could there be some connection between the two?
Everyone felt very strange and puzzled. They didn't know what had happened to the Chen Clan in the past few days, and why such a huge change had suddenly occurred.
"This is the result of the competition between Hong Xing and Hong Yuan!" Chen Hongxuan didn't explain too much.
After all, Chen Hongxing could be said to be a taboo in the Chen Clan. They couldn't casually talk about him. Even the Chen Clan had issued a gag order, so no one was allowed to mention what happened that day in the Chen Clan.
If people knew that Chen Hongxing had used forbidden drugs, it would be very troublesome.
"So, the eldest young master of the Chen Clan lost?" Regarding this result, everyone didn't seem to be very surprised.
This was because the most famous person in the Chen Clan recently was probably Chen Hongyuan. At the beginning, Chen Hongyuan was in the limelight during the Nine Family Grand Competition. The Situ family even almost lost the third place.
Just from this point, it could be seen that Chen Hongyuan's strength was indeed much stronger than Chen Hongxing's.
In addition, more than a month ago, Chen Hongyuan's fame spread throughout the Nine Big Families. Everyone knew that Chen Hongyuan had returned from the Dead Zone alive.
Therefore, it seemed reasonable that Chen Hongyuan would win the position of the new head of the family!
It was just that no one had expected that the Chen Clan would use a competition to decide the successor of the family head. This was indeed somewhat out of everyone's expectations.
Take the Situ family for example. Situ Xiong had long decided that Situ Yongwen would be the sole successor of the Chen Clan.
Even if he had a few other sons who were also very outstanding, they were destined to have no fate with the Situ family's family head, especially his youngest son, Situ Yongkang.
Although Situ Xiong also liked and even spoiled this youngest son, he didn't give anyone any leeway in this matter. He didn't want his next generation to fight for the position of the family head, or even lose their brotherhood.
Although they didn't see the competition between the two brothers of the Chen Clan, they could also imagine that now that the eldest young master of the Chen Clan had lost, the brotherhood between the two could be considered to have ended.
However, the inheritance of the family head position had always been a headache for all the family heads, because no method was absolutely fair.
"That's right. Therefore, I hope that all the family heads can attend the ceremony tomorrow!" Chen Hongxuan nodded.
"Of course!" Although everyone was a little surprised about the Chen Clan's major event, they were more disappointed. They didn't expect that the Chen Clan was going to change the family head.
If they had known that it was going to be this matter, perhaps they wouldn't have come at all.
But now that they had come, they couldn't just leave now.
Moreover, the Chen Clan's matter happened too suddenly, and everyone felt that it was too abnormal. Therefore, some people also wanted to stay and find out what was going on.
After Chen Hongxuan left, the others didn't immediately leave the main hall. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Chen Tianxing.
"Ahem! Everyone, please go back and rest. We welcome everyone to attend the ceremony tomorrow! "Chen Tianxing was a little embarrassed by everyone's stares, so he said with a smile.
"Brother Tianxing, why is this happening? Aren't you doing well as the family head? Why did you suddenly change the family head? " Dongfang Hong stood up and asked. He still felt that this matter was too unusual, so he was very curious.
Obviously, everyone thought so too. They all wanted Chen Tianxing to give them an answer.
"Although I've been working hard as the patriarch all these years, I haven't been able to bring much change to the Chen Family. I haven't even been able to improve the Chen Family's strength by much, so I think it's time to let go of this heavy responsibility. Perhaps handing the Chen Family over to the younger generation will bring more changes!" Chen Tianxing explained with a smile.
"But Hongyuan is still very young. Isn't it a little too early to hand this responsibility to him? Moreover, Hongyuan has no experience in this aspect. Even if the Chen Clan chose him as the next family head, shouldn't they let him accumulate some experience before taking the position? "Dongfang Hong was puzzled.
