Capítulo 1862: Chapter 1859: Assuming the Role of Family Head

Within the Cheng family, the Great Elder’s status is second only to the Head of Cheng Family, so when the Great Elder wanted to say a few words, everyone listened quietly to what he had to say.

“I know that right now we are in a dilemma, but I am pleased that the members of the Cheng family have not allowed the comfort of our lives to erode their indomitable spirit!” the Great Elder said slowly.

“The strength of Heaven’s Gate is evident to all, but in the face of such a formidable enemy, should we really just surrender? Remembering our ancestors, even in dire circumstances, they never gave up hope or compromised with the enemy. Compared to their hardships, our difficulties now are nothing!”

Upon hearing this, many faces relaxed. It was clear that the Great Elder also favored fighting to the end rather than hiding away.

“Qian Jun must be rescued, but how to go about it requires careful planning!” the Great Elder said sternly, “A nation cannot be without a monarch for a day, and a family cannot be without a head for a day either, so I propose we first choose a temporary Family Head before discussing the next steps.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Since the Great Elder had set the tone, the future path of the Cheng family was clear. Now all that was needed was to elect a new Family Head to lead everyone.

“Regarding the candidate for the new Family Head, I nominate Cheng Shang!” said a senior member of the Cheng family, standing up. “Cheng Shang is the adopted son of the Old Family Head and holds an important position in the Cheng family. I believe he is fully capable of taking on the role of Family Head and leading the Cheng family.”

“I want to nominate Cheng Minxue!” someone else stood up, saying, “Although the young lady is a girl, she has been nurtured by the Head of Cheng Family with great care. Her abilities are not inferior to the direct lineage heirs of other families!”

“I still think Cheng Shang is more suitable!”

…

The voices in the room were divided into two camps—one supporting Cheng Shang as Family Head, and the other supporting Cheng Minxue. However, the voices supporting Cheng Shang were louder. After all, Cheng Shang’s own strength was strong, and he was the adopted son of the Old Family Head, making him a candidate for the Family Head based on both sentiment and reason.

Although Cheng Minxue was the biological daughter of the Family Head, she was still a young woman; in the Ancient Ruins, it was rare for women to assume the role of Family Head. This was considered her inherent disadvantage; otherwise, the Head of Cheng Family wouldn’t have felt compelled to take in an adopted son due to pressure.

The Great Elder listened quietly to these voices, and when the voices subsided somewhat, he clapped his hands and said to Cheng Shang: “Xiao Shang, what are your thoughts?”

Cheng Shang showed a modest expression: “I am young and inexperienced; all those present are my elders. Based on seniority, I am not qualified to become the temporary Family Head, but if everyone trusts me, I will do my utmost to rescue my adopted father and help the Cheng family through this crisis.”

“Of course, I hope to receive assistance from all the elder uncles and aunts so that our Cheng family can be united as one,” Cheng Shang said sincerely.

The Great Elder nodded and then turned to Elder Cheng: “How is Xiaoxue?”

Elder Cheng shook his head: “Still unconscious, but out of danger!”

“Great Elder, what is your attitude?” the Fifth Elder asked at this time, “I assume you have a candidate in mind, don’t you?”

With Cheng Minxue still unconscious, there was almost no one left to compete with Cheng Shang, making his becoming the new Family Head seemingly a foregone conclusion. Thinking of this, Cheng Shang’s lips curled into a nearly imperceptible smile.

The Great Elder coughed and said, “Indeed, I have a candidate for the new Family Head, and that person is…”

Everyone turned their gaze towards Cheng Shang, whose face also showed a smile, but in the next moment, Cheng Shang’s smile froze.

“Ling Feng, are you willing to become the temporary Family Head of the Cheng family?” the Great Elder did not look at Cheng Shang but instead turned to Ling Feng in the corner and asked.

Everyone was stunned. Since Ling Feng entered, he had practically no presence! Although everyone knew Ling Feng was Xiaoxue’s “fiancé” and acknowledged he had the right to sit in, most did not take Ling Feng seriously!

But why did the Great Elder want Ling Feng to be the temporary Family Head? Even if a Family Head had to be chosen, it should be Cheng Shang, right? Who exactly was this Ling Feng?

Suddenly, the elders present realized they knew hardly anything about Ling Feng.

“Great Elder, are you joking?” Ling Feng frowned and said, “I don’t consider myself qualified to be the temporary Family Head of the Cheng family!”

The Great Elder shook his head and said, “Do you think I would joke about such a thing? Ling Feng, do you have confidence in taking on the burden of the Cheng family?”

Ling Feng said solemnly, “Great Elder, although I do not know why you are asking me this, I can promise that if I become the Family Head of the Cheng family, I will do everything I can to protect the Cheng family, until Xiaoxue wakes up!”

“Protect the Cheng family? On what basis do you claim such strength!” Cheng Shang’s face showed a hint of uncontrollable anger.

But he dared not express his anger to the Great Elder, so he had to vent it on Ling Feng.

Ling Feng glanced at Cheng Shang faintly without explanation, but this attitude of disregard made Cheng Shang even angrier.

“Great Elder, can you tell us why you chose Ling Feng?” the Third Elder couldn’t help but ask.

The Great Elder smiled: “I chose Ling Feng because he is both my and Qian Jun’s choice!”

What? This time, everyone was truly shocked! Ling Feng was the choice of both the Great Elder and the Old Family Head? What was this all about; had the Old Family Head never intended to pass the Family Head position to Cheng Shang?

Cheng Shang also thought of this, his expression became unpleasant, but he quickly hid it, pretending to be calm.

“I know everyone has many doubts in their hearts, but I am sorry, some things cannot be openly discussed! But everyone should trust the joint choice of me and Qian Jun, right?” said the Great Elder lightly.

“Of course!” everyone said one after another, “Since it’s the choice of the Great Elder and the Family Head, it must be correct.”

“Since everyone agrees, then let’s adjourn!” said the Great Elder, “Ling Feng, stay back after; I have some words to say to you!”

Under the envious and jealous gazes of Cheng Shang, Ling Feng stayed behind, along with Elder Cheng.

“Ling Feng, you must be curious as to why I’ve kept you here, right?” the Great Elder regarded Ling Feng with satisfaction upon seeing his calm demeanor, unable to conceal a smile.

Ling Feng nodded: “Please enlighten me, Great Elder.”
