The next day, the entire Chen family was very lively. Today was the day that the Chen family's second young master became the new family head, and tomorrow was the day that the Chen family's goddess got married. With these two joyous days together, the Chen family couldn't help but be lively.
They had already sent out the news that no one was allowed to leave the family for this month. However, at that time, everyone thought it was because of Chen Xinran's wedding.
Now, everyone finally knew that the main reason was the second young master's ascension ceremony.
Today, all the Chen family members were present. The plaza on Yu Hua Peak was destroyed due to Chen Hongxing's incident, but it had been completely restored. The renovated Yu Hua Peak was even more magnificent than before.
Hundreds of thousands of people were gathered on Yu Hua Peak, waiting excitedly for the new family head to take office.
It could be seen that the Chen family members were looking forward to Chen Hongyuan's ascension and were very welcoming.
Such a scene made the people from the eight major families have different thoughts, and their emotions were very complicated.
In the eyes of the family heads of the eight major families, Chen Hongyuan was obviously still too inexperienced. In fact, if Chen Hongyuan really ascended, it might be a good thing for them.
Although the Chen family's sudden change of family head surprised them, everyone believed that Chen Hongyuan couldn't lead the Chen family to rise, so this would only give the major families an advantage.
However, seeing that the entire Chen family seemed to be crazily looking forward to Chen Hongyuan's ascension, this filled their hearts with doubts.
How did they expect Chen Hongyuan to have such a high support rate in the Chen family? Could it be that this Chen Hongyuan really had extraordinary abilities?
"Father, this Chen Hongyuan can't be underestimated. All the Chen family's disciples seem to be very happy to see him become the new family head!" Situ Yongkang sat beside Situ Xiong, listening to the Chen family's disciples excitedly expressing their expectations for Chen Hongyuan after taking over the Chen family. He couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable.
At the same time, he was very shocked. After all, he didn't have such a high support in the Situ family.
Perhaps it was because everyone knew that he couldn't become the family head of the Situ family, so even if there were people who supported him, it didn't seem to be for him to become the family head of the Situ family.
From this point, his prestige in the Situ family was completely inferior to Chen Hongyuan's in the Chen family. However, he was more curious about how Chen Hongyuan did it.
"Indeed, I didn't expect him to be so popular in the Chen family!" Si Tuxiong said with a frown.
Seeing so many people from the Chen Clan supporting Chen Hongyuan, he actually felt a little worried in his heart.
If there was anyone in the Chen Family that he couldn't see through, it would probably be Chen Hongyuan.
The time between the Grand Competition of the Nine Clans and the trip to the Dead Zone was too short, but Chen Hongyuan's transformation was too great.
Not only had his strength changed, but his status had also changed rapidly.
Yesterday, he had sent people out to find out that after Chen Hongyuan returned from the Dead Realm, he had directly become an honored guest of the Chen Clan. With regards to the status of honoured guest, the situation was the same for all aristocratic families.
Only those who had made great contributions to their family would be granted the status of an Honoured Minister. Chen Hongyuan became an Honoured Minister of the Chen Family as soon as he returned from the Death Zone. This meant that Chen Hongyuan had made great contributions to the Chen Family.
What did it mean to make such a huge contribution at that time? Obviously, it was because he had obtained a lot of resources from the Death Zone.
Although the members of the Chen Family did not know what kind of precious resources Chen Hongyuan had brought back for the Chen Family, based on the change in his status, Chen Hongyuan was not as they had imagined, hiding in the Death Zone for three months.
From all the signs, it seemed that the Chen Family and the Dongfang Family had reaped great rewards this time. This made him even more suspicious.
The Situ Family had sent out so many people but in the end, only three people had returned. Furthermore, the number of valuable resources that they had obtained could be counted on one hand. Their rewards could not be considered much at all.
If they were to include the people who had died, it could even be said that their income was not enough to make ends meet.
At the very least, in the Situ Family, these three people could not be said to have made great contributions to the family and it was even more impossible for them to be granted the status of an honored guest.
However, Chen Hongyuan had become an honored guest as soon as he returned. This meant that the rewards that he had reaped were perhaps even more than the three of them had.
This made people curious. How did they do it?
After all, there were only two of them and the difficulty of the Death Zone this time was much greater than before. This was too strange.
Now, the Chen Family had directly let Chen Hongyuan take over as the new Family Head. This change in status was simply astonishing!
"Father, how was the investigation you sent yesterday? Did you find out why Chen Hongyuan suddenly became the Family Head of the Chen Family? "Situ Yongkang asked curiously.
"I didn't get too much information. However, I can confirm that the two brothers of the Chen Family did indeed have a competition. Moreover, the eldest young master of the Chen Family has already left the Chen Family!" Situ Xiong shook his head and said.
"Chen Hongxing has already left the Chen Family? No wonder I haven't seen the eldest young master of the Chen Family these past few days. "Situ Yongkang suddenly realized.
Logically speaking, as the eldest young master of the Chen Family, even if he had lost the position of Family Head, it was impossible for Chen Hongxing to completely not show up in such an occasion.
So he had already left the Chen Family. No wonder there was no news of him at all.
"That's right. However, what is strange is that the Chen Family seems to be avoiding Chen Hongxing. They are not willing to talk about him!" Situ Xiong said.
"There is such a thing?" Situ Yongkang was puzzled.
"Yes, I'm afraid there is more to it!" Situ Xiong looked at Chen Tianxing and Chen Hongyuan constantly greeting everyone. He had a lot of questions in his mind.
"The elders of the Chen Family should know what is going on. If we can find out something from the elders of the Chen Family, we should be able to understand!" Situ Yongkang said.
"It is not that simple. If we want to rope in these elders, we will be alerted if we fail!" Situ Xiong shook his head and said.
After knowing that it was impossible to get too much information from the ordinary disciples of the Chen Family, he also wanted to rope in a few elders to have a look.
However, it was not that easy. If there was really a secret in it, how could it be so easy to find out?
"How will we know if we don't try? Anyway, it doesn't matter even if they know. They can't do anything to us! "Situ Yongkang said indifferently.
They just wanted to know if there was really a secret in it. If there was really a secret that could not be exposed, what could they do if they knew about the Chen Family? They might even be able to use it against the Chen Family.
