Chapter 196 - 193 Three-day Green Lotus Skill
In the hall, the senior members of the Ye family were all seated, with Ye Tianxiong occupying the main seat. Originally, this spot was intended for Ye Xuan. However, Ye Xuan clearly wouldn’t take it, even though he was the one who played a major role in rescuing the Ye family this time.
Among those seated, there were some whom Ye Xuan had never met before, as they might have come from the branch families. Now that the Ye family was rising again, those branches that had dispersed and hidden themselves were re-emerging, breathing new life into the originally declining Ye family.
Ye Tianxiong looked at Ye Xuan, who sat peacefully below, with a hint of pride flashing across his face. To have such a grandson, what more could he wish for?
"Xuaner, the Ye family was able to be reborn from the ashes largely thanks to your timely arrival. After some discussion, given my advanced age, I’m afraid this position of Clan Leader..."
"Grandfather, you should know that I’m not interested in the position of Clan Leader."
Ye Xuan shook his head. He was used to his freedom, and even though he had some attachment to the Ye family, it was impossible for him to take on the role of Clan Leader.
"Don’t worry, having you as the Clan Leader would merely be a title. You would still not have to deal with the day-to-day affairs personally," Ye Tianxiong said, seeming to have anticipated Ye Xuan’s refusal, and then he added.
"There seems to be no need for that. The position of Clan Leader should be filled by someone capable. Leaving it vacant doesn’t make much sense. Besides, I’ll probably be leaving the Tiannan Region before long."
Ye Xuan understood Ye Tianxiong’s intentions; he merely wanted to use Ye Xuan’s name to enhance the cohesion of the Ye family. However, to Ye Xuan, this wasn’t necessary. A Clan Leader should be the head of a clan, and it would be absurd if he were not present within the family on a regular basis.
His ambition wouldn’t be tied down to the small Tiannan Region. If it were someone else, they would have probably accepted the role with great excitement by now.
