Ji Hongyuan glared at Qiao Nian and clenched his fists. "Everyone, we can't be led by the nose by an outsider. It's a sure bet that Ziyin will take over as the Patriarch. How can we change our minds just because of a few words from her? Isn't she making a fool of the Patriarch's position?!"
The second elder, Ji Ziyin's supporter earlier, remained silent and did not support him.
The fourth elder frowned. "Sixth Elder, Ji Nan has the Patriarch badge! According to the family rules, whoever has the badge is the Ji family's Patriarch. Don't tell me you're muddle-headed in your old age and don't even know this?"
"The Patriarch's badge is an inanimate object, but humans are alive! How can we living people be led by the nose by an inanimate object!" The veins on Ji Hongyuan's forehead bulged, and his mouth blistered with anxiety.
