"What, Great Elder, you said that you will pass on the position of the head of the family to me, did I hear me right?" Xia Fan opened his mouth wide and looked at the old man in front of him in surprise.

"That's good!" The Great Elder of the Xia Clan, whose power was second only to the head of the family, nodded and said: "Xia Fan, you also know the situation in the family, the position of the head of the family must be chosen separately, but the position of the head of the family is not something that anyone can sit on!"

"The head of the family, the head of the family, controls the power of the entire family, it represents power and glory, but also responsibility and obligation. ”

Therefore, those who are pure and inactive do not want to touch this position, those who are timid and afraid do not dare to ask for this position, and those who have no ability cannot afford to sit in this position. ”

"If you want to sit firmly in the position of the head of the family, you must have enough strength, and at the same time, you must have enough prestige, count the descendants of my Xia family, only you Xia Fan have this kind of strength and prestige. ”

"So, the position of the head of the family belongs to you!"

Xia Fan closed his eyes and pondered, but there was a torrent in his mind, he knew that the position of the head of the family should have been Xia Leilin's thing, but it was passed on to him, why?

On the contrary, in the eyes of the family leaders, Xia Leilin, who has now become the heir of the Great Chu Lisao Palace, is countless times stronger than him Xia Fan, and it is not at all comparable to a person like him who cannot break through.

And the position of the head of a middle-level five-rank family will only limit Xia Leilin's development and limit his vision, Xia Leilin's world realm should be in the vast world realm of the entire Southern Wilderness Continent.

Therefore, all the high-ranking members of the family vetoed Xia Leilin's decision to inherit the position of the head of the family, and chose Xia Fan as the heir of the head of the family, for the same reason as the Great Elder said, Xia Fan has this qualification.

Although Zhilu Dao was just a substitute, Xia Fan was not annoyed by it, maybe for a top genius like Xia Leilin, the position of the head of the family was an existence that limited his development, but for Xia Fan, he didn't feel like this.

You must know that Xia Fan's goal since childhood was to become the most powerful and powerful existence in this world, standing at the pinnacle of the world, and becoming the head of the Xia family was the first step to achieve his goal.

····

Today, there is a solemn stand in the Xiajiabao, but there is a sense of joy that cannot be concealed in this solemnity, because today is the day when the new head of the Xia family succeeds to the throne.

At this time, in the ancestral hall of the Xia family, many clansmen of the Xia clan gathered here, including the high-level elders of the Xia clan, the descendants of the Xia Leilin brothers, and the direct blood relatives such as Xia Fan's mother.

In the middle of the ancestral hall, presided over by the great elder, the contemporary head of the family Xia Fengxing, and the successor Xia Fan wore a high crown, dressed in gorgeous clothes, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and worshiped the ancestors.

After the worship, Xia Fengxing, the contemporary head of the family, took off a ring from the middle finger of his right hand and handed it to Xia Fan, and said solemnly: "Xia Fan, this ring has been passed down in my Xia clan for hundreds of years, and it is a token of the head of my Xia clan, I hope you will keep it alive!"

"Yes, Master!"

Xia Fan took the ring and put it on the middle finger of his right hand, this ring is bronze in color, simple and unpretentious in appearance, if it is thrown on the street, I am afraid that no one will pick it up, and no one will think that this ring is actually a token of the head of a family.

"Xia Fan, you are now the head of my Xia clan, then you will no longer be a side clan, and you will officially become a descendant of my Xia clan," the Great Elder said:

"So, according to your seniority, you should be the Lei Zi generation, you are now Xia Leifan, the head of the Xia clan, I hope you will lead my Xia clan and make it more brilliant!"

"Yes, Great Elder, Lei Fan will live up to his trust!"

·····

"Xia Leifan, you are now the head of the family, but don't slack off in your cultivation, when I become a high-level martial artist, I will come back to fight you, at that time, you don't want to be defeated by me!" Xia Leilin said.

"Waiting for you at any time!" Xia Fan smiled slightly, looked at Xia Leilin's back that had gone away, and thought: "Hehe, Xia Leilin, I will always let you only chase me behind me!"

Today is the day Xia Leilin leaves home, he wants to go to the Great Chu Kingdom and become the successor of the Lisao Palace, the pinnacle-level sect of the Southern Wilderness Continent, where Xia Leilin will enter the sea and turn into a dragon.

After sending Xia Leilin away, Xia Fan returned to his residence, not the two-story small building that was avoided, but a mansion in the central area of Xiajiabao, which was the exclusive residence of the head of the Xia family.

In the hall of the council hall, Qin'er was sorting out some documents, but looking at her face, it was obvious that these documents were not very comfortable for Qin'er.

"Hehe, what's the matter, who upset my Qin'er?" Xia Fan walked into the hall and couldn't help but smile when he saw the expression of his only servant, Qin'er.

"Young master, you are still laughing, those people in the family are really angry, they actually disobeyed your orders!" Qin'er couldn't help but feel angry when she saw Xia Fan laughing at her.

"Expected!" Xia Fan sat on his office chair, looked at the documents in front of him, and smiled indifferently: "These stewards have managed various family affairs for many years, and if I take the liberty of interfering, they will naturally not agree." ”

"But, young master, you are the head of the family!"

"The head of the family, the head of the family without strength can only be a puppet, not to mention that these family stewards have not resisted my orders head-on, and they have good reasons for refusing my orders!"

"Reason, they're just looking for a reason!" Qin'er said angrily.

Xia Fan smiled indifferently, no longer caring about Qin'er's gaffe, after all, he knew that what Qin'er said was the truth.

In the past few days, after Xia Fan succeeded as the head of the family, he issued a summons to several stewards in the family who managed the family affairs to mobilize some resources and personnel appointments, but they were resisted by all the stewards, of course, for various reasons.

As a result, Xia Fan has already tried to find out that he is not as prestigious as he imagined in Xiajiabao, and this is also taken for granted, after all, he Xia Fan is only a thirteen-year-old boy, and he is not as prestigious as the previous head of the family, Xia Fengxing, in any case.

And all this is known for Xia Fan's several orders, this is Xia Fan's wisdom.

"Okay, Qin'er, you can send this document again!" Xia Fan picked up a document on the table and handed it to Qin'er again.

"Hey, young master, this is..." Qin'er looked at the new document and looked at her young master in surprise.

"Go ahead!"

·····

"Family Master, what are you doing?" The Great Elder and the Second Elder, the former Family Head, Xia Fengxing, walked into the meeting hall, holding a document in their hands, and asked Xia Fan, "Why do you want to gather so many clansmen?"

Qin'er looked at the document in the hand of the Great Elder, and couldn't help but tremble, it was the document that her young master asked her to issue, it was the recruitment order issued by her young master in the name of the head of the family.

"Great Elder, Second Elder, your Second Elder is here, please sit down, Qin'er, serve tea!" Xia Fan couldn't help but light up when he saw the two elders in the family, and hurriedly ordered Qin'er to serve tea.

"Family master, don't be in a hurry to drink tea, we are here this time, we just want to know Lu Dao, what is the matter with your order, why do you want to gather thousands of clansmen?" the second elder Xia Fengxing asked urgently.

He couldn't help but be in a hurry, thousands of clansmen already accounted for nearly half of the population of the Xia clan, how could he not let Xia Fengxing be in a hurry.

And the Great Elder was obviously old, so he sat down without hurry or irritation, and slowly drank the good tea offered by Qin'erjin.

"Second Elder, don't worry, the reason why I summoned thousands of people is because I was ordered by Dean Shen Danfeng of the County Government Academy to join the regular army of Nanyue to defend the country. ”
