God of War Ye Fan: Sexy sister-in-law insisted on marrying me

Although the old man’s voice wasn’t loud, his mere whisper brought an immediate silence to the room!

Because this old man was Xia Jiangyuan, a Tribute who had resided with the Fang Family for many years, and was originally of the same generation as Grandfather Fang Chengshan.

His strength had also entered the Martial Saint Realm!

When the Fang Family patriarch was still alive, he could easily intimidate Xia Jiangyuan!

But after the patriarch passed away, in terms of seniority, strength, and prestige, Xia was in no way inferior to Family Head Fang Shiao.

Back when Fang Chengshan had been confirmed as the next person to call the shots, Xia Jiangyuan had been somewhat displeased.

However, there was nothing he could do as the patriarch was still around, and Fang Chengshan’s talent and strength were indeed strong among the younger generation… so, Xia Jiangyuan didn’t express much of an opinion.

But now… with both Fang Chengshan and the patriarch dead, when the time came to choose a new successor, Xia Jiangyuan would definitely push his favored Fang Chao to the fore!

“Old Xia, you… this is a bit too hasty, isn’t it?” Fang Shiao’s face darkened, his brows suddenly knitting together.

Inside, he cursed Xia Jiangyuan’s ancestors for eighteen generations!

Damn it!

Are you in such a hurry?

My son has just died, and you’re this eager to secure Fang Chao’s status?

The second branch can’t wait even a moment, can they?

Fang Shiao glanced to the side, where a middle-aged man in a purple robe was seated—it was Fang Chao’s father, Fang Shixun from the second branch of the family!

The branch that Xia Jiangyuan supported was the second one!

“Shiao, this is not hasty at all! Chengshan is dead, and that’s an unchangeable fact… The news, once spread in the Ancient Martial World, will have an enormous impact on the Fang Family, and internally, it could be catastrophic! If we don’t settle on a new successor quickly, who knows how unstable things might get inside, right?”

As Xia Jiangyuan spoke, he swept his gaze across the hall.

The Ancient Martial Fang Family had several dozen branches, and the representatives of each branch hesitated when they met Xia Jiangyuan’s gaze, then quickly nodded in agreement, “Right! Old Xia is correct, we must first stabilize internally before we talk about revenge!”

“Yes! The man is already dead, we can’t change that. Let’s stabilize the inside first; we can plan the revenge slowly afterward.”

“I think Young Master Fang Chao is quite suitable. His strength has already reached the Martial Emperor Level; with enough resources, breaking through to the Martial Saint Realm is just a matter of time!”

In an instant, more than half of those present were echoing Xia Jiangyuan’s sentiments!

Many of the previously neutral branches had now stepped forward to make their positions clear.

The situation had become quite clear now!

Although Fang Shiao was still a Martial Emperor Level expert and occupied the position of Family Head.

But Fang Shiao was already getting on in years, and given his talent, breaking through to the Martial Saint level seemed almost impossible in this lifetime. The only one who had managed to reach the Martial Saint Realm, Fang Chengshan, was dead… There was no longer any hope for the main branch led by the Family Head!

Given such a situation, would those neutral branches be mad to still side with them?

Despite his anger, Fang Shiao had no choice but to accept the situation in front of him.

After his father died, there was still Chengshan to rely on, but now… by himself, he felt as if the tide had already turned against him.

Under today’s circumstances, if he didn’t agree with Xia Jiangyuan, he feared today’s issues would remain unresolved.

And if he didn’t agree with Old Xia, the revenge for his son’s death might just fizzle out.

After all, without Xia Jiangyuan’s support, it was doubtful that the family’s warriors would go to the Secular World to avenge Chengshan.

“`

“Quiet, everyone! After some thought, I agree with what Old Xia has said. It’s indeed time to decide on a successor to take over the reins of power. I propose Fang Chao, who has both exceptional talent and influence. Let’s nominate him as the next candidate. What do you all think?”

Fang Shiao had other candidates in mind, such as several youths in the younger generation with abilities comparable to Fang Chao, who lacked the backing of branch powers, making them more controllable and easier to sway.

But here lay the problem: without support, these youths would be unstable if Fang Shiao forcefully pushed them forward.

And they, in turn, could not provide Fang Shiao with the support he needed!

Even though Fang Shiao was addressing everyone in the hall, his eyes were fixed on Xia Jiangyuan.

Among the many core members present, Fang Shiao knew that the one who truly had the decisive influence was none other than Xia Jiangyuan!

Originally, the Fang Family had three Martial Saint Experts, including the old master, Fang Chengshan, and Xia Jiangyuan.

But now that the old master and Fang Chengshan had both fallen, the Fang Family still had to rely on Xia Jiangyuan at the high-level… They had to make sure Old Xia was well taken care of!

Even though Xia Jiangyuan supported Fang Chao, after all, Fang Chao was still part of the Fang Family, and the legacy would not be lost!

“Old man also thinks that this young man, Fang Chao, is quite good! Let’s settle it like this, then. Simply notify all Fang family members… Just follow up with the necessary resources allocation and treatment!” Xia Jiangyuan said, without any unnecessary twists and turns, and his decision was final.

“Congratulations, Young Master Fang!”

“Congratulations to Young Master Fang Chao!”

Most people on scene instantly changed their tune and turned to congratulate a white-clad young man standing to the side.

It seemed everyone had forgotten that Fang Chengshan had led the Fang Family’s elites to their demise in the Capital.

This should have been a time of great sorrow, yet everyone was congratulating Fang Chao with smiles.

Fang Shiao’s face darkened with a grim, iron-blue complexion as he turned to glance at Xia Jiangyuan once again.

It was only then that Xia Jiangyuan, unhurriedly stroking his beard, spoke up, “Alright! Now that we’ve decided on our successor, let’s discuss the matter of avenging Chengshan.”

The lively atmosphere at the scene immediately quieted down once more.

All eyes turned to Xia Jiangyuan!

Nowadays, Old Xia, though not the Family Head within the Fang Family, his influence was even greater than that of the head, especially after the death of Fang Chengshan. There was nobody left in the Fang Family who could counterbalance Xia Jiangyuan.

“Shiao, I propose that the Fang Family’s Golden Armored Warriors all mobilize and be led by Fang Chao to the Capital to seek revenge on Fan Ye!”

“What?”

Xia Jiangyuan’s statement stunned Fang Shiao!

What was going on?

Although Fang Shiao had acknowledged Fang Chao’s position as the next leader, it was essentially a trade of interests.

He had traded the position of the next leader in exchange for Xia Jiangyuan’s support to avenge his son.

But now Xia Jiangyuan was directly suggesting that Fang Chao take charge, leading a team to the Capital to seek vengeance on Fan Ye?

Wasn’t this a bit too exaggerated?

The sincerity was almost overwhelming!

“Old Xia, would this really be wise? Heading to the Capital will definitely be dangerous, and there’s also the potential for conflict with Prince Jin… If something unexpected happens to Fang Chao, our Fang Family can’t afford another loss!”

Xia Jiangyuan smiled wickedly, “What’s there to fear? I’ll be going along! Besides, Fang Chao taking over Fang Chengshan’s position means avenging Fang Chengshan is his duty! If he lacks even this much responsibility, how can he become the next leader?”

Such sound reasoning!

Yet something felt amiss!
