Yan Huai's face sunk. He hated it when people refuted him the most, but Jie Long was the old patriarch's daughter, so he couldn't get angry at him in front of the two elders. It was just that as his elders, Yan Huai and You Mo were not suitable to talk, but as juniors, they were.
Yan Hui also knew what Yan Huai was thinking right now. He immediately said: ”Jie Wei, these outsiders are a threat to our tribe. You must think about it for our tribe.”
You Mo also agreed, ”That's right, as the daughter of the Patriarch, you should take responsibility for your actions, they cannot keep you.”
He had made up his mind and would not argue with them.
Herba Hydrae was very clear that Jie Wei was still young, and Di Chen and Luo Yumeng could protect Jie Wei, so without them, it would definitely be very dangerous. He said: ”After all, they did save Jie Wei, so let them stay for a while.”
”But …” Yan Hui was still unconvinced, he still wanted to refute.
”Yan Hui,” Yan Huai interrupted him. ”Since Herba Hydrae has already said this, then let them stay behind.
Herba Hydrae was a highly respected person in the Witch race, even Yan Huai had to listen to her.
”But …” Yan Huai changed the subject, looked at Di Chen and said: ”If anything happens to Witch race during this period of time, we will use you as a test.”
”I know,” Di Chen smiled and said, but in his heart, he knew that something was amiss. Looks like Yan Huai wouldn't just sit there and watch, he would definitely do something in the dark, but Di Chen wasn't afraid.
Luo Yumeng thought that Yan Huai obviously wanted to use these words to scare Di Chen away, but she knew that Di Chen would not leave.
The two elders behind Yan Huai naturally heard the meaning behind Yan Huai's words and raised their eyebrows slightly. Although they did not wish for others to stay in Witch race, it was clear that the two did not pose a threat to Witch race.
”Di Chen, let's go. I'll bring you to rest,” Herba Hydrae did not let Di Chen stay any longer as he took Di Chen and Jie Qian away.
After all, Jie Wei was still young, and when he heard Yan Huai's words, he became angry. Herba Hydrae was afraid that Jie Wei would rashly say something to offend Yan Huai, so he didn't want Jie Wei to have too much contact with Yan Huai.
”It seems that there are a lot of changes this time around.” Elder Ting chuckled. In the past, Jie Wei was a cute and timid girl, but now, he was much more resolute.
Elder Hong was silent for a while before saying, ”Since Jie Wei has already returned, let's quickly decide on the position of the junior family head.”
These sudden words shocked Yan Huai and Yan Hui at the same time. Listening to what he said, he wanted Jie Wei to inherit the position of the junior family head?
It wasn't easy for Yan Huai to snatch back the clan elder's position, why should he give it to Jie Wei? He immediately objected: ”Jie Wei is still young, it's a little inappropriate to fix this position of junior family head right now, right?”
Elder Hong said calmly, ”There's nothing wrong with that. Back then, she was designated as the successor to the family head. Now that Jie Long is fifteen years old, she has the ability to inherit the family head position.”
If one wanted to inherit the position of the Clan Master, one needed to know magic, and Jie Long could be said to be a talented young lady who had a very strong comprehension of magic. With just a small age, she had already learned many spells, and the two elders decided to let Jie Gen inherit the position of Clan Master. No one could have imagined that Jie Gen's father, the previous Clan Chief, would die in the attacks of other tribes, and Jie Gai had also left the Witch race.
”Jie Dui has already left for five years, who knows if her magic has improved. I think it's time to select anew.”
At this time, Yan Hui suddenly retorted: ”I believe my ability is no weaker than Jie Wei, I feel that I too have the qualifications to inherit the position of clan leader.”
Yan Hui was also a smart person. There were some things that were hard for Yan Huai to say, but as a junior, Yan Hui could just say them out loud. Moreover, no matter how Yan Hui said it, Jie Qian had left for a few years, so he didn't really understand the Witch race.
When Elder Ting heard this, he frowned: ”Yan Hui, I know that you have made great progress in these past few years, but do you really think that you can inherit the position of Patriarch?”
Yan Hui replied: ”How do you know without giving it a try? Not to mention me, I think everyone in Witch race wants to inherit the position of Patriarch.”
At this point, he suddenly bowed to the two elders and said, ”Patriarch, I have a suggestion. I would like to re-evaluate the position of the Patriarch's successor.”
Back then, Jie Wei had the best talent among all the Witch race, which was why he wanted her to inherit the position of clan leader when she grew up. It was just that Jie Wei had left for too long, and suddenly coming back to inherit the position of clan leader was not really right.
”Alright, since that's the case, let's let the younger generation of Witch race have a try,” Elder Hong agreed in the end. He also wanted to see if Jie Duo had made any progress in these past few years.
Hearing this, Yan Hui's face suddenly lit up. All these years, he had been working hard to cultivate his magic, so he believed that he had the ability to pass the examination.
Yan Huai also heaved a sigh of relief. He originally wanted Yan Hui to inherit the position of Patriarch, and it was a good thing that he could give Yan Hui a chance right now.
Elder Hong and Elder Ting immediately walked out to announce this matter to the Witch race.
There were many young people in Witch race who wanted to inherit the position, but did not have the chance. This time, the two elders gave them the chance, it was just that the two elders did not say what kind of assessment they would take, and only asked the younger generation of Witch race to prepare. Three days later would be the day of the assessment, and from the sounds of it, it was clear that the test was not simple, and they might even have their lives on the line.
