Chapter 2870: Nobody In Your Direct Line Is Worthy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“You keep saying that the bloodline of the direct descendants is more important than anything else. Is anyone among them worthy?”
He was too arrogant.
The elders with a temper, their faces darkened and they felt humiliated.
However, Ji Hongyuan tried to smooth things before they could speak. He smiled and said, “Elder Leo, you might not know the rules of the independent continent. We have the rules about the direct line of descent. It’s normal for everyone to care about this.”
Leonard did not give him any face. He snorted and threw the used tissue on the table. “Oh, that’s why the independent continent is declining.”
“What do you mean!” Someone slammed the table and stood up.
Another person warned him gloomily, “This isn’t Continent M. Watch your words!”
The initially harmonious atmosphere became tense.
At this moment, Ji Ziyin stood up and said, “Elders, please hear a few words from me.’
The elders could no longer sit still and wanted to leave.
Ji Ziyin said in a calm and steady tone, “I know that everyone is worried about my identity as a side branch descendant, but the elders should also be very clear that Ji Nan is not qualified to become the patriarch… Now that the Patriarch’s whereabouts are unknown, the Ji family urgently needs someone to stabilize the situation. I’m willing to step forward and help the family tide over this crisis. If the elders are still dissatisfied with me after this, I’ll give up my position and let someone more capable take over the position.
“Everyone here is my elder.”
She looked around at everyone. “l promise that even if I become the Matriarch, I will still respect everyone’s opinions like now! ”
Who here wasn’t a wily fox?
Ji Ziyin promised to distribute the power of the Matriarch in the future and share with them the power to decide the matters of the family.
Didn’t they come here tonight just for this promise?
Now, Ji Ziyin made it clear that she would give them the power.
The few elders who were about to leave sat back down and calmly said, “It’s not that we can’t support you to ascend the throne.”
“Ji Nan will be back soon.”
They cared about this.
Xie Yun couldn’t sit back and wait for death. As her elders, it was not appropriate for them to join forces to cause trouble when her husband’s life and death were unknown.
Things would become ugly if word got out.
Ji Ziyin understood their hypocrisy too well. She smiled and said, “I’m competing fairly with him. Ji Nan has no background. I have the reclusive families and the Empress behind me. All the elders made their choices based on the premise of the family’s interests. Even if they spread the news, everyone can understand your choices…”
Ji Nan’s biggest backer was Ji Lingfeng.
However, Ji Lingfengs whereabouts were unknown and there was a high possibility that he was dead.
Ji Ziyin had the powerful reclusive families behind her. The Empress even sent one of her right-hand men, the Privy Council’s Elder Leo, over. This was enough to explain everything.
With such an obvious disparity in power, everyone knew how to choose!
The next day.
“When is Ji Nan coming back?” Xie Yun received the news early in the morning and knew that a few of the elders had a private meal with Ji Ziyin yesterday.
She paced around the house early in the morning with her brows tightly knitted. From time to time, she would ask the servants Ji Nan’s news.
A servant patiently answered, “Young Master boarded the plane six hours ago. The flight from Continent F to here takes more than ten hours. Young Master should be more than halfway here..”
