Qin Yi observed for a while and realized that the situation of the Qin family was very delicate.
Qin Han, the head of the Qin family, was supposed to be in control of everything. Although he was still sitting on the seat of the head of the family, his chair was no longer high and mighty.
There were several chairs around his chair, and several elders of the family were sitting on both sides of him, forming an inexplicable encirclement.
If it was just the arrangement of the seats, it could be a coincidence.
But these elders were obviously tensed up as they talked. Judging from their posture, it was obvious that they were accumulating strength, preparing, and waiting to go.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know with a single glance that the target of their accumulation of power was completely directed at Qin Han.
"Are these bastards trying to usurp the throne?" Qin Yi was shocked when he saw this.
He looked at those unfamiliar faces again. They all had faint smiles on their faces. It was obvious that victory was in their grasp.
Especially the man from the Shi family, he was even more aggressive at this moment. He stared at Qin Han and said, "Qin Han, you are my brother-in-law. I should support you in the internal affairs of the Qin family. But look at you. Your current behavior is too disappointing. You are still hesitating now. Do you want to bring the Qin family to the abyss of eternal damnation? Do you really think that the Qin Family would have that much patience with you? Don't forget that your son, Qin Yi, has offended the Yun family. If the Yun family didn't want to make a big fuss now, do you think the Qin family could still be safe? They would have been dragged out to make an example out of you, okay? "
Qin Yi still remembered the face of this man from the Shi family. He was also one of the distinguished guests at the celebration for Qin Xiang.
Judging from his tone, he should be Qin Xiang's uncle.
Qin Han's face was gloomy, but he seemed to be stubborn. No matter how that fellow surnamed Shi tried to persuade him, he didn't say a word.
Qinshan, the law enforcement elder of the Qin family, slapped the chair and said, "Family Head, now that everyone is sitting here, we can still call you Family Head. How much longer are you going to pretend to be dead? Can't you see that the family is in danger? Don't tell me you want to push the family into the abyss for your own selfishness? "
Qin Yi had a deep impression of this old bastard. Back then, the two brothers, Qin Zhao and Qin Ming, had provoked Qin Yi, especially Qin Ming. He had gone to Qin Yi's private residence to provoke Qin Yi and was injured by Qin Yi.
It was none other than Qinshan, the patriarch of the various clans, who was the first to jump out and declare that he was going to punish Qin Yi.
Qin Yi knew this old man very well.
Back then, this old bastard had supported Qin Xiang. Logically speaking, he should've been Family Head Qin Han's loyal lackey.
But now, it seemed that this old man's loyalty really wasn't to Qin Han, but to power. He would lean to whichever side was strong.
As soon as Qinshan's words fell, another elder also sighed, "Family Head, don't be so stubborn. You've seen the situation in the capital. The Yun family overthrew the royal family almost effortlessly. The royal family has already been destroyed, and the few survivors certainly don't have much time left. Now, most of the powers under heaven have bowed their heads to the Yun family, acknowledging their position and supporting their rule over the mundane countries. Our Qin family isn't some thick arm or thigh, who can we defy? "
"Yes, your two sons are both in Yin-Yang Academy. But if the academy really had a way to deal with the Yun family, they would've sent troops down long ago. The academy hesitated for so long, only issuing a superficial announcement two days ago, declaring the Yun family to be rebels. But has the Yun family retreated? Is the Yun family afraid? No! "
"In other words, the Yun family isn't afraid of the academy. They have the power to resist it. Don't forget, the Yun family also has a backer. Compared to the academy, their backing was definitely stronger, not weaker. How many times do you want everyone to tell you before you accept reality? The Azure Net Kingdom is about to change! The Jiang family's rule is over, and Yin-Yang Academy's control over the kingdom has been severely weakened. The past era can't be returned. Even if you want to cling to the tree that is Yin-Yang Academy, it has to be willing to shelter you from the wind and rain. Right now, they're powerless even if they want to! "
The ones who spoke were the clan elders.
It was obvious that they'd been successfully brainwashed. Or rather, they were completely powerless to resist and had decided to accept reality.
After all, if they didn't submit to the Yun family, the Qin family's fate would be annihilated.
It was impossible for people like them to have any guts and would rather die than be humiliated in a situation where they were forced to do so.
Their number one philosophy was survival.
Qin Yi could be considered to have discerned that, including these clan elders and those unfamiliar faces, they were all forcing Qin Han to make a stand.
They wanted Qin Han to admit that he would submit to the Yun family and submit to them.
Even after Yin-Yang Academy had announced to the world, the elders of the Qin family still chose to submit to the Yun family. This caused Qin Yi to feel a deep sense of sorrow.
This sorrow wasn't because of the elders or the Qin family, but because of Yin-Yang Academy.
The College's prestige in the Azure Sieve Kingdom had been extremely high. How could it have deteriorated to such an extent in just a few short months? How could its prestige have plummeted?
Was it because the Yun family was too powerful? Or was it because the situation forced them to submit? Or was it because the world changed its mind?
In the end, it was because the academy hadn't been forceful enough and had expressed its stance too late.
In the face of the current situation, the academy hadn't displayed its absolute strength. This was the root of all of this.
Facing pressure from all sides, Qin Han was clearly on the verge of collapse.
Suddenly, he slammed his hand on the table, and a token landed on the table.
"Elders and fellow clansmen, I, Qin Han, have always been cautious and diligent ever since I took over the Qin family. Because of this, Qin Han's own flesh and blood were separated. Father and son didn't get along, and even became enemies. "Who would have thought that you would still be dissatisfied with me and still want to force me? "All I want to say is that I've had enough, I've truly had enough. Whoever wants to be the head of the family, it's up to you. I'm done! "
Qin Han suddenly stood up and pushed the medallion in front of Qinshan. "Shan Lao, I know that you coveted the position of family head when you were young. Now, I'll give you a chance to fulfill your wish! "
A hint of greed flashed through Qinshan's old eyes.
He really did covet the position of family head, but he was a shrewd old man. However, he was, after all, a shrewd old man. He knew that taking the family head's token at this moment was equivalent to taking a hot potato.
The position of family head was easy, and the decision to rely on the Yun family was easy.
But …
What if the Yun family was suppressed by Yin-Yang Academy in the future? What if the mastermind behind the Yun family didn't defeat Yin-Yang Academy?
When Yin-Yang Academy recovered, they would definitely settle the score.
When that happened, it was easy to imagine what kind of revenge the person who made the decision would face.
