“......”
"Hey, why do you think that person ran in in a panic just now?”Zhang Haike didn't care whether Zhang Qilin ignored him or not. Instead, he said,""Do you want to eavesdrop?"
"What made our Zhang family so flustered is definitely not a small matter.”
“......”
Zhang Qilin still did not speak.
Zhang Haike grinned. He really didn't understand why this kid was so unsociable.
Was he a mute?
He was clearly a holy infant, and his master was also an elder. Logically speaking, his status in the clan was very respected, and his personality should be very cheerful.
Why did he look like an autistic child?
"Bang!"
Just as Zhang Haike was about to talk nonsense with Zhang Qilin…
The door next door was suddenly pushed open.
Zhang Jing brought her people out of the house in a hurry.
When he saw the two children, he widened his eyes and shouted,"Follow me!"
After saying that.
Zhang Jing left with her people in a hurry.
“......”
Zhang Haike still wanted to say something.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Qilin had already stood up and walked to the door.
"Hey, wait for me!"
Zhang Haike quickly followed.
The two children followed Zhang Jing and the others from afar.
Not long after.
Everyone stopped in their tracks.
Zhang Haike realized that this place was the ancestral temple of the internal family.
Usually, when there was a big announcement, it would be held here.
Perhaps it was because they had informed him in advance.
At this moment, the ancestral temple was already surrounded by three layers of clansmen.
Zhang Jing strode into the ancestral temple and stood in front of the memorial tablets. She glanced at the clansmen present and said,"Today, I have a sad announcement to make.”
"Our current clan leader met with misfortune in the ancient city of Si Province today.”
Whoosh!
Zhang Jing said.
Everyone was in an uproar!
The clan leader was dead?
This was a huge matter!
One had to know that the Zhang family was the most powerful family in the Dragon Country!
Their secret forces were like a spider web that enveloped the entire Dragon Country!
It was no exaggeration to say that the Zhang family had participated in almost all the major events in the Dragon Country's history of nearly 2,000 years!
But today, the patriarch of the Zhang Clan had died?
Wouldn't this be a group of dragons without a leader?
"How did the chief die?"
"Isn't the ancient city of Si Province our Zhang Clan's territory? How did something happen?"
"Elder Zhang Jing, tell me in detail!"
"So many brothers went to the ancient city of Si Province. Other than the patriarch, how are the others?”
Everyone asked.
Obviously, he could not accept this fact.
Zhang Jing gestured for everyone to be quiet, then said loudly,"It's said that there was a long-term spy in the Zhang Clan among the group that went to the Si Province's ancient city. He was the one who launched the assassination attempt on the clan leader.”
“.......”
Everyone looked at each other.
Assassination?
A spy had infiltrated the Zhang family?
One had to know.
Since ancient times, the Zhang Clan had always had clan rules.
In order to protect the pure bloodline of the Zhang family, the family had intermarriage!
There couldn't be outsiders!
Unless one of the clansmen had been swapped!
In this century, human skin masks were somewhat overused, and it was indeed hard to guard against!
"I reckon that the clan leader and the others are probably dead.”
A cunning look appeared in the depths of Zhang Jing's eyes.
"I heard from my informant that the situation in the ancient city of Si Zhou is very bad."”
"The most serious thing is that someone blew up the nearby dam and led the flood into the city, directly flooding the entire ancient city of Si Province.”
Hiss--
Hearing this.
Everyone present gasped.
Blow up the dam and flood the city?
Even the Zhang family, who had experienced great storms, did not look very good at this moment.
They were all extremely intelligent people.
Thinking about it carefully, these clansmen faintly felt that there must be something fishy behind this matter.
As for the truth…
He had to go over and take a look personally to know.
"The dragons can't be without a leader. The most important thing now is to choose a new leader.”
After Zhang Jing finished speaking, she looked around.
He carefully observed the expressions of everyone present.
However, no one hesitated. They turned their heads and looked at Zhang Qilin, who was standing quietly behind the crowd.
Although Zhang Qilin was only five years old.
However, the child's eyes were filled with determination, stubbornness, and a hint of indifference.
He did not have the naivety of an ordinary child at all.
"The new clan leader will naturally be the Holy Infant.”
"That's right. The old patriarch has long bestowed the name of Zhang Qilin to him.”
"No problem."
"He has the purest Qilin blood, so his abilities must be pretty good.”
A few of the more experienced clansmen made suggestions.
Although there wasn't much debate about the clan leader.
However…
Now, there was a huge problem.
Because in the Zhang Clan, the succession of clan leaders had to be carried out in the Zhang Clan's ancient building.
In the Zhang Clan's ancient building, there was a secret room.
When the clan leader's life was coming to an end, the old clan leader would enter that secret room with the new clan leader who was about to take over.
The new chief could only come out of the room after the old chief died.
If the old clan leader did not estimate his death date, the two of them would probably have to stay in there for a few years. Only when the old clan leader died would the new clan leader come out.
In this mysterious room, there were all kinds of secrets, books, cultural relics, and divine artifacts from the past dynasties of the Dragon Country. These things were all discoveries that the Zhang family had brought out from underground.
These secrets were also guarded by the various generations of clan leaders.
However, now that the clan leader had died unexpectedly, no one knew those secrets anymore.
If one could not obtain the old clan leader's token, no one could enter the Zhang Clan's ancient building!
Therefore, the Zhang family was now facing an awkward situation of having no secrets!
"The ancient city of Si Province has been flooded, and the patriarch's body is buried in the ancient city. There is no way to find the patriarch's token for the time being.”
"But a group of dragons can't be leaderless. We still have to choose someone who can temporarily lead the Zhang family." Zhang Jing sighed and continued.”
“......”
The clansmen were silent.
Finally, someone said," If he wants to lead us, it's Zhang Qilin. After all, he's the Holy Infant and the designated successor of the clan leader."”
After saying that.
Everyone once again turned their attention to the young Zhang Qilin.
Actually, everyone knew.
This child was too young. All the talk about leadership was empty talk.
However, the position of the Zhang Clan's Patriarch could not be left empty. These things had to be done for the outside world to see.
If the outside world knew that the Zhang family was leaderless, there would definitely be external forces who would take the opportunity to infiltrate and weaken the Zhang family's power!
"Him?"
"The Holy Infant you speak of?"
"Hahahaha!"
Unexpectedly.
Zhang Jing suddenly burst into laughter.
Hearing his disrespectful words, the clansmen gradually became angry.
However, Zhang Jing's next few words...
It was like a bolt from the blue that struck everyone's heads!
"He's not a Holy Infant at all!"
"He's an imposter, a guy who replaced the Holy Infant!”
"He's a shameless bastard!!”
........
....
