In the clan, the minority had always obeyed the majority.

Although Zhao Hua Xiang didn't say anything, his attitude was clear.

He did not express any opinions, but after so many years had passed, a large number of people loyal to him had expressed their opinion. He only needed to stand by and watch, and the result would be satisfactory.

The crane father was speechless. After a moment of silence, he slowly opened his mouth under the urging of someone, "Now it seems that what I said is of no use. Then, just follow the procedures."

Zhao Huaxing was one of the nine Elders in the He Clan who would vote for the Patriarch's successor.

Zhao Huaxing was naturally not afraid of that. After deeply looking at the Crane Lin, he took the initiative to head to the inner hall.

Crane father also used his walking stick to get up and also glanced at Crane Lin. He took a step forward and said, "Since you have been nominated by the Head of the Family, then come along as well."

He wanted to see how many people in this Crane Family had been infiltrated. He also wanted to see what the Crane Forest had in mind.

The crane Lin was not surprised, and immediately followed.

In the inner hall, all nine elders were present. Father Crane entered and sat down. Without saying anything unnecessary, he immediately started the program.

"Now, there's Crane Forest and I who are competing for the position of Patriarch. We'll cast an anonymous vote. If you support me, Crane Forest, then draw a circle on the paper, and support Crane Forest, then draw a square."

After making clear the rules, Crane Father sat down and watched the reactions of the nine people below.

The anonymous vote was to keep people from being disturbed, so he had no idea who was betraying him.

However, they were both people who held great power within the clan. Thus, they could tell that their thoughts were not that simple. However, the crane father only quietly looked at them with an obscure expression.

Everyone did not say anything as he personally gave them paper and pen, then returned to his original position.

No one was in a hurry to start writing. They looked at each other, then picked up a pen and started writing on it. Except … Zhao Hua Xiang.

"I forfeit."

He smiled and then leaned back in his chair. With his arms crossed, he looked at his father with a smile.

The crane father's face was grim as he looked at him, his expression unsettled. It was only when the crane Lin brought the notes from the other eight people …

The crane father knew in his heart that even though the outcome was surprising, he did not become angry. He only sighed, "Good. It seems that this old man is no longer useful. To think that you all despise him …"

Everything had already become clear.

He Lin was elected the head of the He family by five votes, and he only had three votes.

Crane Father looked at the Crane Forest by his side, and even revealed a slight smile. "Congratulations, Xiao Lin. From now on, the Crane Family belongs to you."

He emphasized the word "you" heavily. After he finished his sentence, he even glanced at Zhao Huaxi, clearly showing his intention.

The elders below also went into an uproar in an instant. However, only the voices of the three elders were heard. They were in disbelief. As for the others, they did not move at all.

This was too scary …

Crane father's heart sank.

However, he did not expect that the greater surprise would come later. His most proud son, Crane, smiled faintly at this moment and said a few words that struck him like thunder …

"Father, thank you."

Crane father's smile froze on his face, and he turned his head to look at Crane Forest. Seeing the smile that suddenly appeared on his face, his expression could no longer be held back, and he felt an incomparable heartache, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Could it be … Did his good son do all this? And he even won over Zhao Hua Xiang without him knowing?

No wonder, no wonder everything went so smoothly!

After a long time, he stiffly turned his head and looked at Zhao Hua Xiang who had the same smile as He Lin. He pouted his lips and said, "You guys …" "Why …"

He really couldn't understand why the Crane Forest would betray him. He had clearly treated him as an heir, and this position would sooner or later belong to him. Why did he do this?

At this time, Crane Forest hid his smile and walked towards Zhao Huaxing. He stood in front of Crane Father, and when Zhao Huaxing wanted to speak, he pressed his shoulder and looked at Crane Father.

"Father, there aren't that many reasons … We are a family that has hunted down demons, we were once famous throughout the country, but our father was too low-key, and ever since we ascended to the throne, we have lost our reputation, and the number of people that have come to visit us is more than ten times less than before …

After the founding of our country, the country will not allow us who study gods and ghosts to appear on the surface. But father, being too low-key will only cause our He family to completely decline, and as the next successor of the family, I do not want to continue to allow this development to happen, so, I think we should put on a proper front … "

After he finished speaking, Zhao Hua Xiang clapped his hands with a smile, "Patriarch is right."

He also had the same idea, otherwise, he wouldn't easily support a brat like him. This was because after a bit of high profile, all sorts of businesses would come one after another, and the benefits he could gain would double, but Crane Man's father would never allow this to happen.

As for the three elders that supported Crane Father, they immediately began to loudly refute him.

At this moment, when Crane Father heard Zhao Huaxing's obviously changed title, he was saddened. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth to ask Crane Lin and Zhao Huaxing to stay behind, while the rest of the elders left.

The elders were a little worried, but Crane Father insisted that they leave. After everyone had left, he turned around, looked at Crane Forest with a serious look and said in a deep voice, "Xiaolin, you need to understand the particularity of our profession. We cannot be too high-profile, or else the country will not ignore us."

Lin shook his head, "But the government also knows that these ghosts and monsters really do exist. Otherwise, they wouldn't have repeatedly asked us to cooperate, right? Although their numbers are tens of times fewer than before, they still pose a threat to many people in this country. I believe that as long as we grasp the opportunity, the country will not pay too much attention to us. "

He had already made up his mind and was no longer being disturbed by others. This had always been one of his thoughts.

Of course, he wouldn't forget his other goal … Dong Xiaoxiao.

Previously, he could at most be said to be a child of a wealthy family. Crane father had sole authority and would not give him any power on the surface. Thus, other than money, he had nothing.

But now it was different, he had all the power in the He family, then, she would become his!

The crane father helplessly looked at the crane forest for a long time. Finally, he sighed, got up, and slowly walked while leaning on his walking stick, saying, "You are now the chief …" After that, you have the final say.

The crane father did not say the last sentence as he left the area with delicate steps, leaving behind Lin He and Zhao Hua Xiang.
