The old man opened his eyes sharply and took a long breath.

The sickness on his face slowly disappeared, and a layer of redness crept up his skin.

His eyes were sparkling, like those of an old lion, looking at his territory for the last time.

"Let me out, I'll talk to my granddaughter for a while." He commanded.

Seeing this, several doctors knew that it was time for the old man to return to his light.

They glanced at each other and silently withdrew.

As soon as they went out, they immediately split up and rushed to inform those who had been waiting for a long time.

"Speak your mind." The old man said in a deep voice.

Anna looked directly at the other party, and her crisp voice revealed a categorical tone: "I am willing to make all sacrifices for the sake of the Su family, as long as our Su family can continue to stand tall in the entire federation." ”

"I want the Su family to become the most powerful family among the Nine Mansions."

"I will lead the Su family to go on and fight until my soul returns to heaven."

Her voice was slow but firm.

The old man had a smile on his face, relieved.

He opened his mouth and paused for a while, only then did he accumulate enough strength, and laughed: "I am really right, in the past twenty years, you are the only one in the entire Su family who has the characteristics of a true leader. ”

"Traits?" Su Xue'er asked.

"Smart, determined, and courageous." The old man said slowly.

"Courage?" Su Xue'er hung her head and said, "I don't think I'm a brave person, otherwise how would I be where I am today." ”

The old man smiled hard and said, "The courage that can be seen under normal circumstances is not called courage, it is called recklessness. ”

"Many people are willing to be ostriches under the pressure of fate, and those who have courage, when necessary, will overcome all difficulties, and even kill their past selves in order to gain a new life."

He looked at his granddaughter as if he were looking at a jewel.

"You have a trait of courage that others can't see, but you can't hide it from my eyes."

"A person with such qualities is the leader of mankind."

"In terms of personal talent, you are the only descendant of the Fifth Element and the Fourth Stage in the entire Nine Mansions in the past thirty years."

"But Cher, you also have a fatal flaw."

"Please grandpa tell me." Su Xue'er raised her head and said seriously.

The old man shook his head, as if thinking about what to say.

After a long time, he said, "I sometimes think that you are really not like your parents at all." ”

"What do you mean?"

"You've barely told any lies since you were a child."

Su Xue'er was stunned and asked, "Isn't this good?" ”

The old man admonished, "You must understand that in this respect, the nobles are doing exactly the opposite of you. ”

"Your parents are typical aristocrats, full of lies, and even if they make promises, they have to decide whether to fulfill them according to their interests."

The old man said: "Xue'er, you are a really smart person, the only thing I am worried about is that you are too honest, and you will suffer in this way." ”

Su Xue'er was silent for a moment and said, "I understand, grandpa." ”

"Well, other than that, you have put me at ease, yes, I feel like I can go on the road with peace of mind."

Su Xue'er clenched the old man's hand and did not speak.

There was a commotion outside, and then the door was violently opened.

The women of the Su family all poured in and gathered around Su Xingchao's hospital bed.

Whether it is sincere or false, at this moment, everyone has a sense of sadness on their faces.

Immediately followed by the other eight lords of the Nine Mansions.

Coupled with Su Xingchao on the hospital bed, at this moment, the lords of the nine federal governments have arrived.

The eight mansion lords walked in quietly one by one, each wearing a black cloak with a solemn and serious expression.

That's the legendary cloak.

The entire cloak is dotted with stars, which are like real cosmic stars, not just a cloak.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, not only Su Xue'er, but everyone present would have stared at the cloak to see what was going on.

In the history of the Federation, whenever such a moment occurred, the other lords of the eight provinces would put on this cloak and come to the bed of the dying, waiting to witness the final moment of inheritance.

This has been the iron law of the nine federal governments for hundreds of years.

"Brother Xingchao, what is your decision?" A mansion lord asked.

"I decided to ......"

Su Xingchao looked at the children around him.

Even though they know that their chances are slim, everyone's eyes still reveal anxiety and deep longing.

Su Shengwen stepped forward, held his father's hand, and made a sad look on his face, waiting for his father's announcement.

Su Xingchao didn't look at him, and said in his mouth: "The next head of the Su Mansion, Su Xue'er." ”

The audience was silent.

Mrs. Su screamed first: "No, this is impossible, why cross us and directly let a child be the head of the mansion." ”

Su Shengwen showed an expression of disbelief, his mouth opened and closed, back and forth several times, but he didn't know what to say.

"This is your final decision?" Another lord asked.

"Yes, only she can take the Su family and continue to walk side by side with you."

"Only she can continue to maintain Jiufu in its current situation, so that our hundreds of years of efforts will not be in vain."

If people who don't know hear this, they will only think that Su Xingchao is praising Su Xue'er.

However, when the other eight lords heard this, they fell silent.

They looked at each other and nodded together.

"We respect your decision." They said in unison.

The old man smiled reluctantly, finally looked at his son, and said with difficulty: "Your ability is not enough, inheriting the lord of the mansion is not a good thing for you, now it's okay, from now on you can live as you want, and live this life happily." ”

He looked at Su Xue'er again, stretched out his hand and said, "Come, Xue'er." ”

Su Xue'er held him.

Suddenly, there was a lightning ray that no one could see, and it passed from Su Xingchao's hand to Su Xue'er's hand.

The lightning bolt fell into Su Xue'er's body and disappeared quickly.

None of the Su family members present, including Su Xue'er, knew about this matter.

The expressions of the other eight Mansion Masters moved in unison.

Someone began to sigh.

Someone looked complicated and talked in a low voice.

Someone turned his back and looked out the door.

Someone looked at Su Xue'er and was silent.

Only they knew that something had been passed on.

Without the support of such a thing, Su Lao would die immediately.

"The Su family, I'll leave it to you......" the old man finally said.

Su Xue'er didn't say anything, looked at the old man, and nodded vigorously.

The old man smiled and closed his eyes in reassurance.

He let out a long breath, and there was no movement.

Su Xue'er looked at the old man's corpse, and two lines of tears flowed down.

In the void, a pure black cloak quietly appeared and draped over her body.

On the cloak, there are vast stars.

Su Xue'er put on this cloak, and her whole temperament suddenly changed.

She looked noble and mysterious, and her power was no less than that of the other eight mansion masters.

"Su Xue'er." The eight Mansion Masters shouted in unison.

She turned her head away.

"From now on, you are the lord of Su Mansion."

"Now, you have to set off with us, go to the end of the world, and complete the inheritance ceremony of our Nine Mansions."

"It's a long way to go, so we need to leave as soon as possible."

The Legacy Ceremony is about to begin.

This kind of inheritance ceremony has appeared countless times in the history of the Nine Mansions, and only the lord of the Mansion can know its content.

Anyone who dares to snoop will be killed.

Su Xue'er turned her head to look at the eight mansion masters, and the tears in her eyes dripped down silently.

"Please wait a minute, I want to say goodbye to my grandfather alone."

The eight mansion masters looked at each other, and then looked at the old man's body, and they were also quite touched for a while.

"Please hurry, we'll be waiting for you outside."

"Thank you, I won't keep you waiting." Su Xue'er nodded.

"Alright, let's go out as well." The lords of the mansion said.

The people of Su Mansion had different thoughts, but they didn't have time to think about it anymore, and they were driven out by the eight mansion masters together.

The door was closed from the outside.

Silence returned to the ward.

Su Xue'er looked at the old man's face and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Grandpa, thank you for passing on the position of head of the family to me."

"There's something I have to tell you."

She whispered, reaching out to smooth the old man's messy hair and straighten his collar.

It took a while for her to speak again.

"I've never lied to you in my life, except today."

"Yes, I won't protect the Su family."

"Because I look down on everyone here, they all live in the dark and dirty, and there is nothing in the world that they can care about except interests."

She looked down at the old man.

"Grandpa, you said that I had courage, I didn't agree with it at first, but now that I think about it, I suddenly feel that you are right."

Su Xue'er pursed her lips and said softly.

"I'll never let anyone dictate my fate again."

"I swear."

She stood up, cloaked in the vast starlight, and pushed the door open.
