Chapter 171 Succession to the Patriarch

"Xiaohuo, call the others."

Ye Changsheng said.

Xiaohuo immediately understood, raised his head and made a series of crisp calls.

Soon, five large three-legged fire crows flew from the distant woods, and they quickly landed around Ye Changsheng and Xiaohuo, their eyes full of expectation.

Ye Changsheng handed them five purple mansion fruits respectively.

The five fire crows were not polite, and quickly swallowed the purple mansion fruits, then closed their eyes and began to absorb energy.

The temperature around rose again, and the air was filled with rich spiritual energy.

The five fire crows emitted red light at the same time, and their bodies began to change. The feathers became more colorful, the body size continued to increase, and the claws and beaks became sharper.

Ye Changsheng and Xiaohuo watched the process quietly.

About half an hour later, the five fire crows opened their eyes almost at the same time and made cheerful calls.

Although their body size was not as big as Xiaohuo, they also reached the size of adult cattle, and their breath was much stronger.

Ye Changsheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, you have all successfully advanced to the third level."

Six third-level fire crows chirped in unison, as if responding to Ye Changsheng's words.

The sunlight shone on their bright feathers, reflecting brilliant light, like six leaping flames.

Ye Changsheng spent several more hours communicating with the six newly advanced third-level fire crows.

After taking a look at the group of fire crows, he went back.

Ye Changsheng planned to lead these second-level fire crows to fight in the future.

After Ye Changsheng returned to the retreat room, he got up early the next day and rushed to Qingzhu Peak. Today is the day to hold the elders' meeting of the Ye family.

The morning sun shone on the mountain road of Qingzhu Peak, and Ye Changsheng walked towards the clan hall with a brisk pace.

The clan members along the way saw him and greeted him respectfully.

Ye Changsheng smiled and nodded in response, and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

In just 20 years, the Ye family has leapt from an ordinary foundation-building family to a purple mansion family. This huge change made him a little dazed.

Arriving at the door of the clan hall, Ye Changsheng took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and pushed open the heavy door.

With a "creak", the door opened.

As soon as Ye Changsheng entered the clan hall, more than 20 elders all stood up, bowed in unison, and said in unison: "Congratulations to Changsheng Taishang, advancing to the purple mansion, longevity is promising, and the great road is expected!"

Ye Changsheng was shocked by this scene, and waved his hand quickly and said: "Elders, please stand up, please stand up. I, Ye Changsheng, can be where I am today, thanks to the support of the elders and clansmen, how dare I accept such a great gift."

Everyone slowly stood up, with sincere joy on their faces.

The clan leader Ye Jiulong stepped forward and said respectfully: "Changsheng, you are the first Purple Mansion cultivator of my Ye family. You should sit in the first seat. Please."

As he said that, Ye Jiulong made a gesture of invitation, and wanted to welcome Ye Changsheng to the highest seat.

Ye Changsheng quickly declined: "Patriarch, you are too polite. Although I have made some progress in cultivation, I am still a layman in family affairs. This seat should be taken by you, clan leader."

Ye Jiulong shook his head and smiled: "Changsheng, you are too modest. You have made great contributions to the family, and now you are a Purple Mansion cultivator. It is more appropriate for you to sit in this position. Besides, etiquette cannot be abolished. If you don't sit, won't it make us old guys feel uneasy?"

Seeing Ye Jiulong's insistence, the other elders also echoed, and Ye Changsheng had no choice but to agree: "In this case, I would rather obey your order."

Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Changsheng slowly walked to the first seat and sat down.

After everyone sat down, the clan suddenly heard a lot of discussions.

"I can't believe that our Ye family has become a Purple Mansion family!"

"Yes, it's only been twenty years, it feels too fast, like a dream."

"Thanks to Changsheng Taishang, if it weren't for him, how could we be here today?"

Ye Changsheng listened to these discussions with a smile on his face, but didn't say anything.

At this time, Ye Jiulong stood up and coughed lightly, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

"Everyone!"

Ye Jiulong looked around and said solemnly, "Since our Ye family has been promoted to a Purple Mansion family, some rules must be adjusted."

"I propose that from today on, the title of u0027 Supreme Elder u0027 can only be obtained by Purple Mansion cultivators. The rest of them will be called ordinary elders."

"In addition, the elders of the major management will be served by foundation-building cultivators in the future and assume the corresponding responsibilities. What do you think?"

After listening, everyone nodded in agreement.

Someone said: "The clan leader is right. Since we are the Purple Mansion family, we must follow the rules."

Seeing that no one objected, Ye Jiulong continued: "There is one more thing. I have been the clan leader for many years. Now that the family has been promoted, I feel that I am no longer suitable to continue to serve as the clan leader. I propose that the Supreme Elder take over the position of clan leader. What do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was boiling.

After hearing this, Ye Changsheng stood up and said: "Clan leader, this may not be appropriate. Although I have made some progress in my cultivation, I am not familiar with family affairs and I am afraid that it is difficult for me to take on the responsibility. It is better for you to continue to serve as the clan leader."

However, other elders expressed their support for Ye Jiulong's proposal.

"The Supreme Elder, you are too modest. You have made great contributions to the Ye family. We can have what we have today thanks to you!"

"Yes, whether it is merit or cultivation, you should be the clan leader."

"Changsheng, just accept it. We all support you!"

Seeing everyone insisting so much, Ye Changsheng looked at his grandfather Ye Jiuhu with some embarrassment.

Seeing this, Ye Jiuhu slowly stood up and said, "Changsheng, Grandpa thinks you should accept this position. Now you are the one that everyone wants. Although you don't want to stick to power, you can't let everyone down!"

Hearing his grandfather's words, the last bit of hesitation in Ye Changsheng's heart disappeared.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Since everyone says so, I will accept the position of clan leader with reluctance. However, I have a condition."

When everyone heard that Ye Changsheng finally agreed, they all breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What is the condition?"

Ye Changsheng looked at Ye Jiulong and said, "I hope Elder Jiulong can serve as the chief elder. The daily affairs of the family will still be handled by the chief elder, and only when encountering major matters will they need to ask me for instructions."

"This will ensure the normal operation of family affairs and will not delay the development of the family as an outsider. What do you think?"

When these words came out, everyone was stunned at first, and then nodded in agreement.

"This is a good idea!"

"It's a two-pronged strategy!"

"Changsheng Taishang is indeed far-sighted!"
