1931 Not to be Missed
Everyone followed his gaze.
“Jiuqing is extremely talented and capable. He’s undoubtedly the best candidate to be the young master!” Yi Wentao’s expression was as gentle as usual, but his tone was low and powerful.
Every word was clearly heard by everyone present!
Everyone was silent, looking at each other with different expressions.
In fact, they had already expected this outcome.
The competition for the position of the Yi family young master was very intense, but after Jun Jiuqing appeared, he almost easily stood at the top. Even those who couldn’t stand him had to admit that in terms of talent and strength, nobody in the younger generation of the Yi family could compare to Jun Jiuqing.
A moment later, an old man said hesitantly, “…Master is right. Jiuqing is indeed very outstanding, but his surname is ‘Jun’ after all…”
The ancestor of the Beiming Dynasty had married a noble daughter of the Yi family a thousand years ago. They had given birth to a child back then, but because the bloodline power in that child’s body was weak, the Yi family felt embarrassed and forcefully ordered the child to be sent back to the Beiming Dynasty.
For so many years, the royal family of the Beiming Dynasty had never inherited this bloodline power—until Jun Jiuqing appeared.
Not only did he have the Yi family’s bloodline power, but it was also very pure! Coupled with Yi Wenzhuo as his master, he was even more confident in the Yi family.
But being the young master was another matter. In fact, this was also the main reason why most people objected to him becoming the young master.
However, Yi Wentao didn’t seem to care; he only chuckled at those words. “But the bloodline power of the Yi family also flows in Jiuqing’s body, right?”
Moreover, his bloodline power was very pure and of an extremely high level! It was just a surname; what was so important?
The bloodline power determined that he was a member of the Yi family!
Hearing Yi Wentao’s words, nobody said anything else.
Yi Wentao’s meaning was clear: He had already made up his mind to choose Jun Jiuqing as the young master.
In the Yi family, nobody could go against Yi Wentao’s wishes. All they could do was obey.
Yi Wenzhuo—who was sitting beside Jun Jiuqing—finally heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately… Big Brother made such a choice in the end!
He was faintly excited. He had to grip the arm of the chair tightly to barely suppress his excitement.
He was Jun Jiuqing’s master. In the future, when Jun Jiuqing became the young master of the Yi family, his status would definitely rise!
Although he was Yi Wentao’s younger brother, he rarely interfered in the family’s matters over the years. Most of the time, he didn’t have much say.
Now that he had Jun Jiuqing’s relationship… Naturally, it was different!
“Jiuqing, come.” Yi Wentao waved at Jun Jiuqing.
Jun Jiuqing stood up and walked over.
A jade thumb ring appeared in Yi Wentao’s hand.
The jade thumb ring was light green and clear. The totem of the Yi family was engraved on it.
Seeing this thing, many people were envious.
This was the status symbol of the Yi family’s young master!
All these years, the Yi family hadn’t chosen a young master. Unexpectedly, one of them had finally returned from outside the clan.
Everyone naturally had complicated feelings.
The surroundings were silent.
Yi Wentao handed the jade thumb ring to Jun Jiuqing.
Jun Jiuqing’s expression changed slightly as he took it and put it on.
At this moment, the totem on the jade thumb ring suddenly flickered with a bright light!
A powerful pressure suddenly descended! Almost at the same time, the same totem appeared between Jun Jiuqing’s eyebrows!
Boundless power surged out of the jade thumb ring and surged into Jun Jiuqing’s body endlessly! The aura around him continued to strengthen!
After about a quarter of an hour, the fluctuations gradually subsided.
Yi Wentao looked satisfied. “Jiuqing, you didn’t disappoint me.”
The reaction of the jade ring meant that it had acknowledged Jun Jiuqing’s position as the young master! From now on, he would be the legitimate young master of the Yi family!
Jun Jiuqing laughed, and there was a hint of demonic charm in his eyes. “Thank you for your kindness, Master.”
“It’s because you’re outstanding.” Yi Wentao patted his shoulder, his eyes filled with unconcealed admiration.
Seeing this, what else did everyone not understand?
Yi Wentao was clearly on Jun Jiuqing’s side! From now on, Jun Jiuqing’s status in the Yi family and even the entire God Residence Realm would be different!
“Actually, apart from choosing the young master today, there’s something else I have to discuss with you.” Yi Wentao looked at everyone again.
His smile faded slightly, and he became more serious.
Realizing that he was about to say something important, everyone perked up and looked over.
The atmosphere became a little cold.
“After years of consumption, the natural energy of Meihe County is no longer the same as before. For the sake of the entire Yi family, we have to find another land filled with energy as soon as possible.” Yi Wentao went straight to the point.
Everyone present was stunned.
In fact, they already knew this, but they had never said it explicitly. After all, such words didn’t sound good. If word got out, it would easily make the entire family panic.
Nobody expected Yi Wentao to take the initiative to speak so bluntly!
Yi Wentao looked around with a calm expression. “Everyone, don’t panic. All the aristocratic families in the God Residence Realm will basically face such a problem. Our Yi family isn’t the only one.”
That was the truth.
The God Residence Realm was vast and contained abundant natural energy, but at the same time, there were countless dangers.
If any faction wanted to really develop, they had to have a stable cultivation territory.
As time passed, the natural energy in the corresponding range was continuously consumed. Over time, it would naturally decrease.
When the force density was below a certain level, it wasn’t suitable to stay any longer. After all, this would affect the cultivation of everyone in the entire clan.
This was extremely important to any faction.
In fact, over the years, many aristocratic families in the God Residence Realm had already begun to find a better place to settle down.
Some had succeeded, some had failed.
The reason why the Yi family had such a big reaction was that the Yi family’s status was higher than those first-rate families. Be it the superior cultivation environment in Meihe County or anything else, they could easily crush others in almost every aspect.
They were used to being high and mighty. Now that Yi Wentao suddenly said publicly that they were also looking for another territory, it was naturally difficult for them to accept it.
“But don’t worry, everyone. Although the current Meihe County is slightly inferior than in the beginning, it’s still better than many first-rate families. The reason why we’re doing this now is just to be prepared.”
Yi Wentao’s next sentence finally made everyone’s expressions look better.
He paused and then said, “Moreover, it’s rare for an area more suitable for cultivation than Meihe County to appear. We naturally can’t miss it.”
