Chapter 1564: The Sixth Lineage Chief
Li Luo's confident smile caused both Qin Zhongyuan and Li Tianji to fall silent. No one had thought that this junior would suddenly gain the same standing as them.
After a while, Qin Zhongyuan finally composed himself and gave a vague comment. "Heavenly Emperor Li's command is truly unexpected."
This proclamation was outrageous. If news of this were to travel back to the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li, it would undoubtedly incite some form of strife. The elders might not dare to question Heavenly Emperor Li's decisions openly, but their hearts would undoubtedly be filled with discomfort.
The position of Lineage Chief was extremely exalted, and Li Luo was so young! How would he be able to convince others? In terms of strength and achievements, just how could he compare with those of the older generation? Tantai Lan was able to take over Li Jingzhe's position because she was a Greater Transcendent Duke. Her fist was capable of subduing any dissent.
What about Li Luo? He was just a youngling.
Others might feel that this decision was rash and he was not deserving of it.
If one didn't possess enough strength, being gifted a position of higher authority was not necessarily the blessing they assumed. As the Bloodline Chief Palace Master of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Qin, Qin Zhongyuan understood that Li Tianji had now been saddled with yet another headache due to this sudden appointment.
However, how could he ignore his Ancestor's personal command? This would simply mean that there would be unrest fermenting once news of it spread.
While Qin Zhongyuan relished in his neighbor's disaster, Li Tianji gave a complicated smile. "Since the Ancestor has personally declared you the sixth Lineage Chief, then you naturally have the right to participate in this negotiation."
