Chapter Ninety-Six: Retreat

Old Lady Xue had already refused once, so Xue Chengjing didn't take the initiative to speak again, so she just asked everyone.

Xue Jiman is also a smart person, and said, "Actually, in this case, it is better to make a decision based on the level of witchcraft." ”

He said it implicitly, but some people already understood it.

Xue Jihong didn't bother to come, and said first, "When it comes to witchcraft, our Ah Yuan has average qualifications. ”

He looked at Xue Hao, "The third brother teaches his son well, this time I won't fight with the third brother." ”

Xue Jiman said, "In fact, if you really judge by witchcraft, there is another person who is even better." ”

Everyone thought of Xue Ling in unison.

Xue Jihong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, I recommend Ah Ling." ”

As soon as this sentence was spoken, it was like an explosion of the pot, and everyone began to talk about it carefully, and they already agreed in their hearts, compared to Xue Yuan Xue Hao, although Xue Ling has good talents, no matter which aspect is indeed better, but if he wants to participate in the choice of the witch master and compete with those elders, it is estimated that there are not even bones left.

But because of this, it is beneficial.

First, if a weak female streamer participates in the selection of witch doctors, even if she loses, she will not become a laughing stock in the Gangneung area.

Second, after Xue Ling loses, she can logically let her take the initiative to back down, and then use some hands appropriately to win the sympathy of the people in Jiangling.

Xue Jiman saw that his brother had already taken the initiative, so he echoed, "Even if it is recommended by the second brother, it is not impossible, Ah Ling is the authentic descendant of our Xue family, and he is the disciple of the eldest brother, which is indeed very suitable." ”

After saying this, everyone was stunned and looked at Xue Ling.

Xue Chengxiao scolded first, "Fart, Ah Yuan and Ah Hao are no longer good, now let Ah Ling come as a little girl, you pat your conscience and ask yourself, is this appropriate?" ”

There was something strange on everyone's faces.

At this time, Xue Ling sat quietly next to Mrs. Xue, with a calm look on her face.

Xue Chengxiao continued to object, "Besides, how can Ah Ling's daughter's family take on such a big responsibility, and if it fails, what should it do?" ”

Since Xue Jihong has spoken, he naturally has to stick to the end, "Uncle's words are not right, we all know that Ah Ling is deeply rooted in the true inheritance of the eldest brother, and her talent is extremely high, and now when the Xue family is in danger, she, as the eldest daughter of the Xue family, should also contribute to the Xue family. ”

Xue Jiman sighed and agreed, "What the second brother said is reasonable, and I also feel sorry for Ah Ling, but this matter is very important, so it is better to leave it to the elders to decide." ”

What Xue Jiman said was much more subtle, but it probably had the same meaning as Xue Jihong.

The two brothers fought openly and secretly, although Xue Jiman had many concessions on the surface, but every time his opinion turned to the left, it was the norm, and now it is rare to speak in unison, and at the same time promote Xue Ling, even if he has not yet recalled, he has figured it out in the ancestral hall.

For a while, he didn't speak, and he had a somewhat tacit attitude.

Such a situation was already expected by Xue Ling.

Xue Jiman has an active mind, reacts quickly in case of trouble, and can quickly make the most advantageous choice in a situation that is unfavorable to him, so Xue Jiman will take the initiative to back down, Xue Ling has already expected it.

However, whether it is the second uncle or the third uncle, they all recommend her in order to push her out and find an opportunity to replace her.

The difference from the previous life is that now, as long as she sits in this position again, unless one day, she is bored and wants to step down, otherwise, no one can pull her down.

Jiang Yue turned her head and looked at Xue Ling without saying a word, a little unclear about what Xue Ling meant, she always knew that this was the path Xue Ling wanted to take.

But there was also a faint worry in his heart, and he quietly held Xue Ling's hand, which was as warm as usual, neither cold nor sweaty in his palms.

Jiang Yue couldn't help but secretly put her mind at ease, Ah Ling was more calm than she imagined, she had nothing to worry about, no matter how her daughter chose, she respected it.

Old Mrs. Xue was different, she looked at Xue Jiman and Xue Jihong, and couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.

Although she had already rejected Xue Chengjing in private, it was obvious that she had reached the point where she could not avoid it.

The current situation, the position of the head of the family is like a hot potato, in the past, the two rooms fought openly and secretly, but now they all want to push Ah Ling out, think about it with their toenails, and know that it is to block the gun.

Human affection is as cold as this.

Old Lady Xue's face was black with anger.

"I don't agree," Mrs. Xue said, "Ah Ling's daughter's family, how can she take on such a big responsibility, on weekdays, you are all eyeing the position of the head of the family, but now you feel that it is like a hot potato, you don't want it, let Ah Ling step forward to block, how can she afford such a responsibility from a little girl's family, if she loses, let the Xue family lose the qualification of the choice of the witch master, when the time comes, how do you plan to deal with her." ”

Mrs. Xue had probably guessed that there was no room for refusal in this situation.

She simply picked away her words, just to get a promise from everyone in the Xue family and strive for the greatest benefit for Xue Ling.

Xue Chengjing coughed dryly, "Don't worry, old sister-in-law, this matter is very important, we are still discussing, and we have not made a decision, everyone can talk about their own thoughts, Ah Ling can also tell your thoughts." ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Xue Ling again.

Xue Ling lowered her head as much as she could, hiding the look in her eyes.

What fell into everyone's eyes was a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, who was sitting there thin and weak because of a serious illness.

Xue Chengxiao softened a little at first, "I think what the old sister-in-law said is reasonable, Ah Ling is a child, still a girl, she has just experienced the pain of losing her father, and she really can't afford such a big responsibility. ”

Xue Jihong was anxious, and hurriedly said this time, "Although our Ah Yuan is not badly talented, how much can we learn in just half a year, even if we learn well, I can't catch up with Ah Ling,"

Xue Chengxiao pondered for a moment and said, "It's better to be like this, the situation is more special now, several children are still young, and they really need to experience a few years, we don't have to be entangled in the ancestral teachings of the lineage, and it is okay to choose one among Jihong and Jiman." ”

Such a proposal, no one dared to think in the past, the family of the world, the training is above everything, Xue Jihong and Xue Jiman would have been happy if they heard this news before.

Now it's not what it used to be, now take over as the head of the family, and then lose in the competition, then the rest of your life will not have to be mixed up in Gangneung.

The two of them glanced at each other, and both had the heart to retreat.
