As the Great Elder spoke, he deliberately glanced at Huo Yulin. "Now that Lord Feng is in poor health, the Huo family can't go a day without someone to take charge of the situation. After some discussion, we elders have decided to select a qualified successor from the younger generation."
"I'll send the list of candidates to you now. The rules for the assessment are also attached."
The Great Elder took a stack of papers and placed them in front of everyone.
Huo Yulin slowly picked up the list.
There were five people on the list.
Apart from him and Huo Wanying, the other three were members of the Huo family's side family and were older than them.
"If there are no objections, it's decided. The first assessment will take place in two days." The Great Elder spoke again.
Huo Yulin didn't continue looking at the rules. He loosened his fingers and the list slid onto the table. He looked up at the Great Elder. "I refuse."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on him.
The Great Elder seemed to have guessed that Huo Yulin would have an objection. He pretended to be surprised. "Young Master Lin, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Master Feng is only recuperating temporarily. What right do you have to discuss the matter of the heir?" Huo Yulin sneered. "Don't you know who you are relying on to sit here safely today?"
The Great Elder didn't feel embarrassed by his words. Instead, he said, "Young Master Lin, we know what you're saying. But if the Huo family's century-old foundation is shaken, how can we be worthy of Master Feng's efforts? Don't you think so? "
"Besides, we're only choosing an heir now. Master Feng is still in charge. This won't affect the Huo family at all."
"Great Elder is right. We have to protect the Huo family for Master Feng."
"We have to choose an heir."
The others began to agree. Although some of them hadn't chosen a side yet, everyone knew very well that the matter of the heir had to be put on the agenda.
They had all heard that Master Feng might never wake up again.
Huo Yulin looked expressionlessly at the group of people who were speaking. He also understood that these people had been deliberately provoked to cause trouble.
He stood up with both hands on the table and leaned forward slightly. His voice was neither hurried nor slow. "If you want to choose a successor, you can. Wait for Master Feng to come back. He'll do it himself."
"Everyone is well aware of Master Feng's situation." The Great Elder raised his head and met Huo Yulin's eyes. "Young Master Lin, there's no need to delay any longer. There's no change to the successor."
Huo Yulin's eyes were cold.
At this moment, Huo Wanying, who had been silent all this while, stood up with an imposing aura. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but I refuse as well."
Hearing her words, the First Elder frowned, as if he didn't expect Huo Wanying to say such words. She was obviously the one who benefited the most from choosing the successor!
Didn't Huo Qing tell Huo Wanying in advance?
The Great Elder could not help but glance at Huo Qing.
Huo Qing was also a bit confused at this time. He ignored the first elder's gaze and hurriedly said, "Wanying, why are you also messing around?"
Huo Wanying turned to look at Huo Qing with a calm expression and said, "I'm not rejecting the selection of the successor proposed by the elders, but I think this list is too unfair."
