When these words were heard, everyone's eyes followed the direction of the voice.
They saw Huo Changfeng striding in. He was dressed in a black trench coat that billowed in the wind. He exuded a cold, murderous aura.
He stood next to the empty seat at the conference table and glanced at the elders and deacons below. His eyes paused on Huo Wanying for half a second and the corners of his lips twitched. "Since the selection of the successor is what everyone wants, I will fulfill your wish."
The elders did not expect Huo Changfeng to return at this time. They instinctively glanced at each other after hearing his words.
There was only one thought in their eyes: Why did Huo Changfeng support the heir selection instead of stopping it?
Even Huo Qing frowned slightly.
He did not understand Huo Changfeng's actions.
"Since Steward Huo agrees, then it's settled." The First Elder came back to his senses. "What about the Eldest Miss?"
Huo Changfeng picked up the heir selection criteria from the table and said directly, "I will explain the situation to Eldest Miss."
With that, he turned and shot Huo Yulin a look.
Huo Yulin did not say anything in the end.
Not long after, the meeting was adjourned.
Huo Yulin and Huo Changfeng left first. The other wardens also left one after another.
Only Huo Wanying, Huo Qing, and two elders were left.
Grand Elder looked at Huo Wanying and asked, "Wanying, why do you insist on Eldest Miss participating in the heir assessment?"
Huo Wanying tilted her head lazily. Her handsome face was indifferent. "Don't you think that a competitive challenge is more interesting?"
"Even so, Master Feng's niece really can't be compared to you." The Great Elder actually didn't approve of wasting time on a useless person.
"Wanying is actually protecting Master Feng's reputation. After all, everyone calls her Eldest Miss. If we don't give her a chance to compete, wouldn't we be letting Master Feng down?" Huo Qing had a kind smile on his face.
He made it sound even more dignified.
Huo Wanying's eyes were unreadable. She did not comment on Huo Qing's words.
"No matter what, Wan Ying, you must give it your all in this assessment. We, the elders, will support you." The Great Elder expressed his stance.
Huo Wanying looked at the First Elder and smiled mysteriously. "Thank you, First Elder."
The First Elder also smiled and said, "All of us watched you grow up, there is no need to doubt your ability."
Huo Wanying nodded slightly and stood up. "Alright then. I'll go prepare for the test."
"Go." The Great Elder waved his hand.
Soon, Huo Wanying's figure disappeared from the conference hall.
The Great Elder withdrew his gaze, and the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression. "Huo Changfeng rushed back in a hurry, and even expressed his support for the selection of an heir. This is puzzling."
After all, based on Huo Changfeng's personality, he would never agree to choose a successor while Master Feng was unconscious.
But now, not only did he not strongly oppose it, he even directly urged this matter to proceed … There must be something fishy about this.
Huo Qing narrowed his eyes and slowly revealed the speculation in his heart. "Perhaps there are two possibilities. One, Master Feng will never wake up, and he has no choice but to place his hopes on Young Master Lin and Eldest Miss."
"And the second?"
