At the same time, in the room of Xingyue City's Lan Mansion, Feng Zichen couldn't help but sneeze, sniffed, and muttered: "I'm thinking, scolding, and catching a cold. Who is thinking of me...
…”
Rubbing his nose, Feng Zichen sighed, recalling the scene where he was flirted with by that little girl Lan Keer, his face became a little inexplicably embarrassed. He felt a little embarrassed now...
Shaking his head, Feng Zichen sat cross-legged on the bed, no longer thinking about all these things. His face became slightly solemn, and he slowly closed his eyes and began to cultivate and adjust his breath. After all, he moved to Qianli to fight against the Black Fire Cult, and exhausted all his energy.
Carats can also use drugs to recover quickly, but mental fatigue is not so easy to eliminate.
Let’s not mention Feng Zichen’s retreat for the moment and cultivate his breathing. He only said that Lan Keer turned around and left after sending Feng Zichen to his room to rest.
Lan Keer came to the Lan Mansion hall, closed her eyes and thought for a long time, suddenly opened her eyes, a pair of crystal eyes full of determination, and said:
"Here comes someone..."
After all, the Lan family is a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. In addition to a few family disciples with the blood of the Lan family, there are also hundreds or thousands of guard servants. Most of these servants are ordinary people, and the guards are only first-level martial arts masters.
Although the middle and low-level warriors cannot guard the family, they are enough to stand guard and convey instructions.
At this time, there were several guards standing guard outside the Lan Mansion hall, waiting for instructions. At this time, hearing Lan Ke'er's summons, a guard quickly walked in and looked at the petite girl sitting in the first place and lowered his head.
Head, respectfully said:
"What are the instructions from the clan leader?"
Lan Keer seemed to have adapted to the status of the new clan leader at this time. Although it was still a little unnatural, it was harmless and she immediately said:
"Go and invite all the elders of the Lan family's discussion group. I have something to say!"
The guard was slightly surprised, but he didn't say anything more. He just nodded and replied respectfully:
"Yes, my subordinate will go right away..."
As the guards hurriedly left to summon the message, Lan Keer sat on the chair, thinking secretly in her heart.
The so-called council of the Lan family is composed of elders from various collateral clans who have the blood of the Lan family. They are specially used to assist the clan leader in handling family affairs. They are highly respected in the clan, and they should all be Lan Keer's uncles and uncles.
However, the bloodline is not close, and they are distant relatives. After all, there is only one Lan Keer left in the direct line of the Lan family.
Members of the Lan Family Council have the right to put forward their own opinions on major matters of the Lan Family. Even if it is a decision made by the clan leader, they are qualified to refute it. When Lan Feng came to power before, he decided to send Lan Keer to Master Lan Yan. At this time
In fact, if all members of the council object, even if Lan Feng is the acting patriarch, he cannot make the decision easily. And the reason why Lan Keer can be "sold" so quickly is that the majority of the Lan family council must have voted in favor.
Ticket's...
Lan Keer knew this very well. These distant clan elders were all elders of the family. They valued the family honor very much and always wanted to revitalize the family and make the Lan family one of the top families in Xingyue City. For this reason
, they can do anything, even betray the daughter of the former patriarch!
Time passed little by little, and all six members of the Lan family's council group had arrived. Each of them was over fifty years old. They looked at Lan Ke'er, the little girl sitting at the head, with an unconcealable look in their eyes.
Uneasy, I don’t know what Lan Keer wants to do by calling them here at this time. After all...
Not long ago, they voted in favor of the discussion meeting held by Lan Feng about Lan Ke'er's "marriage" with Master Lan Yan, and they were regarded as Lan Feng's accomplices. At this time, the situation in the Lan family changed drastically, Lan Feng stepped down, and Lan Ke'er took over.
, Young Master Lanyan was frightened, and even the huge Black Fire Sect seemed to have been destroyed. Each of these events made their hearts beat wildly.
"I didn't expect that this seemingly useless little girl would have such foreign aid. It's really unpredictable..."
Lan Yu ignored the other five clan elders who looked panicked. He looked calm, bowed his head slightly to Lan Ke'er, and said in a deep voice:
"Clan leader, is there anything important to call us here at this time? Now the family is busy taking over the nine properties of the three major families in Mingyue District, and it is quite difficult to get away..."
As Lan Yu's voice came out, the other five clan elders looked at him with a somewhat complicated look. They secretly thought that this old guy is not afraid at all, and he has a clear conscience...
The reason why Lan Yu was able to face Lan Ke'er so naturally was because in the meeting held by Lan Feng not long ago, all the elders of the five major clans voted in favor. Only he, Lan Yu, firmly opposed it, claiming that he had betrayed his family members.
The glory gained is only false after all. If you want the family to be strong, you have to rely on yourself. He even bluntly rebuked Lan Feng for his decision, which made everyone very unhappy.
However, despite Lan Yu's firm opposition, Lan Feng and the elders of the other five major clans had already decided, with six votes to one, so they directly rejected Lan Yu's decision and agreed on the plan. An angry Lan Yu immediately rolled up his sleeves.
And went.
But at this time, the situation suddenly changed. Lan Keer, an abandoned son of the family, became the family patriarch. The elders of the five major clans felt regretful. If not, they would not have been so panicked. They were just afraid of Lan Keer's revenge.
However, Lan Keer did not target them as they thought. He just glanced at them, then looked at Lan Yu, who had a calm face, his expression moved slightly, and he nodded:
"Elders, please sit down. I have called you here this time to inform you of something..."
Lan Yu was the first to sit down. The other elders of the five major clans looked at each other and sat down after hesitating, but the expressions on their faces were still a little uneasy.
Notification? Notification of what? Could it be that you want to start dealing with us?
It’s not that they think too much. If they were betrayed, they would also have thoughts of revenge. This is human nature...
However, the development of things once again exceeded their expectations.
"You are all old people of the Lan family. Although I am young and incapable, I know that I am not qualified to be the leader of the clan..."
Speaking of this, Lan Keer's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence, and she said lightly: "But the Lan family is where I grew up, and it is also an existence that my father has tried his best to protect. Therefore, even if the family has made
I'm sorry, I can let it go, after all... revitalizing the family is also what my father hopes..."
Listening to Lan Ke'er's slightly sad words, Lan Yu, who was sitting down, looked moved. He suddenly stood up and clasped his fists and said respectfully: "The patriarch is Gao Yi!"
The elders of the five major clans on the side also looked surprised, and they all stood up and said respectfully: "Clan Chief Gao Yi! I am so ashamed..."
At this time, Lan Ke'er seemed to be a different person, her seemingly immature face was full of solemnity, and a touch of majesty emerged from her body, and she already looked like a patriarch.
Obviously her heart has begun to grow, not just for the family, but more for her father who has dedicated his life to the family...
"No need to do that, please sit down..."
Following Lan Ke'er's words, the six clan elders all sat down one after another. When they looked at Lan Ke'er, they finally looked not at the little girl, but at the real clan leader!
At this time, Lan Keer's performance also impressed them. Could they easily forgive the person who betrayed them?
The five clan elders thought about it for a moment and felt that it was still impossible, and they respected Lan Keer even more.
"However... even though I am the leader of the clan, I still lack experience. Moreover, I am still a student at Tianxing Academy. I still have several years to go before I graduate. It is not convenient for me to manage the family, so..."
When Lan Keer said this, he looked around at the six clan elders below and said slowly: "I decided to set up a deputy clan leader position in the family management. The deputy clan leader is only under the clan leader and is responsible for assisting me in managing the family...
"
Deputy chief?
The clan elders present were all shocked. This was a precedent that the family had not seen in a hundred years, and...
"The deputy clan leader is only under the clan leader, which means that his power and status are higher than those of the council elders?"
A clan elder's eyes flashed, and he immediately noticed the amazing power of this deputy clan leader.
For a while, the clan elders were whispering and discussing the so-called deputy clan leader's position, with burning eyes. The Lan family now has the momentum of the first family in Xingyue City with Feng Zichen's secret support.
The title of clan leader is considered a big shot in the entire Xingyue City.
Lan Keer ignored the clan elders with burning eyes below, and just looked at the silent Lan Yu, showing a smile:
"I have decided that Elder Lan Yu will serve as the first deputy chief of the Lan family!"
As soon as these words came out, all the clan elders were stunned, and even Lan Yu himself was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted, with a smile on his face, he stood up and said respectfully:
"Lan Yu will not disappoint the clan leader!"
The other five clan elders also came to their senses, sighed and said nothing. They were not surprised by this result. After all, the five of them still had "stains" on their bodies. Although Lan Keer did not pursue it, but in her heart
I definitely prefer Lan Yu, this is human nature.
Lan Keer naturally chose Lan Yu as the deputy clan leader after knowing what happened at the previous Lan Feng meeting. After all, he would be absent from the clan all year round. The deputy clan leader is almost equivalent to the acting clan leader, so he must choose a candidate who is reliable enough.
Lan Yu's character and ability are also a reason. The family needs this kind of person in power who has his own beliefs, otherwise it will not be strong no matter what.
"Finally, what I want to say is that although our Lan family now has the momentum of the first family in Star-Moon City, I hope you will not be blinded by this name and understand how this reputation was obtained!
"
Lan Keer was like a real patriarch at this time, not like an ordinary sixteen-year-old girl at all, and said in a deep tone:
"It is absolutely not possible to blindly rely on others. The family's own strength is the most important. Although our Lan family has a great reputation now under the protection of Brother Feng, you also know the true strength of the Lan family. It is still too
Weak..."
Lan Yu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He believed in self-improvement and could not believe in false honors obtained by relying on others. At this time, Lan Ke'er's words were exactly what he wanted.
"This time there are nine properties from the three major families. The family must take this opportunity to rapidly develop its strength and recruit experts from all walks of life. The family's children must also be vigorously cultivated..."
Lan Ke'er was clear-minded, thoughtful, and every word she spoke was reasonable, which made the elders in the audience impeccable and full of respect.
In fact, these are the concepts that Lan Keer's father quietly instilled into her when she was a child. After hearing it a lot, they naturally appeared in her mind. Otherwise, how could a little girl understand so many management policies?
?
"Okay, that's all for now. I will return to Tianxing Academy with Brother Feng in a few days. All affairs in the family will be managed by the deputy clan leader. The five of you should assist him well and inform me of any important matters.
…”
"yes……"
Lan Keer tilted her head and thought for a while. It seemed that there was nothing else to do, so she said: "Let's adjourn the meeting..."
Leader Lan Yu stood up and saluted Lan Keer slightly: "I'll take my leave..."
After watching Lan Yu and others exit the hall one by one, Lan Keer patted her cheek and breathed a sigh of relief. She was so tired...
Just now, Lan Keer pretended to be serious and tried hard to create a true image of the patriarch. This really cost her an introverted personality. But fortunately, the main tone of the family has been set now, even for herself.
Nothing will happen if I'm not here...
As for various matters, big and small...
Haha, what do you think the deputy clan leader is for? Isn’t it just to help the clan leader handle this?
"Now I can continue to study at Tianxing Academy and be closer to Brother Feng..."
Lan Keer silently thought that since she had taken over as the head of the Lan family, she could also ask the college to drop out of school. The college would not force her to stay, but...
Lan Keer didn't want to drop out of school, because if she dropped out, she would have to leave Tianxing Academy, and she would also have to leave Brother Feng...
"Hehe, even though Brother Feng and I are not in the same school district at Tianxing Academy, it's better than being separated..."
"Originally I was still worried about how to deal with it, but now it's better. Now that I have the deputy chief, I can leave with peace of mind..."
It turns out that this is the real purpose of Lan Keer establishing the position of deputy patriarch. I have to say that little girls in love are still very smart...
