Chapter 1693: I Object
"I object to your ascension as Patriach." The handsome man's voice echoed throughout the square, causing the previously noisy crown to turn deathly silent.
All of the leaders present had expressions of complete surprise. They couldn't believe that someone would spout such words. Who would dare to act so brazenly? This was the Chi family's ceremony to choose a new leader. Although Chi Wenwu was on the verge of dying and the Chi family had declined, the new Patriarch, Chi Li, was deeply trusted by the Imperial Beast Hall. This could be seen by the fact that they had even dispatched a King Stage Hall Master to observe the ceremony.
With a behemoth like the Mythical Spirit Divine Continent supporting them, even with Chi Wenwu's demise, no one would dare to touch the Chi family for a period of time. Thus, when they saw someone turn up to ruin Chi Li's ceremony, furthermore daring to express his dissent, everyone had the same thought: this was incredibly absurd. He objected? Was he looking to die?
Many members of the Chi family's branch family looked dumbfounded. At the same time, some people in the crowd, especially people with high positions, had thoughtful looks on their faces. In particular, there was an old man with a head of white hair. In his hand was an iron crutch and he was hunched over, his expression frosty. His name was Chi Song, and he was the branch family's head.
Chi Song turned to the middle-aged man next to him and asked in surprise, "Ah Bin... what was the name that Chi Li just shouted?"
The man was missing an arm and there was a beautiful woman next to him. He paused for a moment before he answered, "Father... it seems like he shouted..."
"It's Chan'er!" The gorgeous lady beside him began to shed tears like rain as she looked at the graceful figure standing in the square. "It's Chan'er! She's back!"
However, her words set off a huge commotion among the people in the branch family. Not everyone was excited—some had pale expressions and their bodies turned cold.
"Is that Chi Chan? She actually dared to return?"
"It's fine to return, but why would she dare to ruin Chi Li's ascension ceremony? With Chi Li's personality, won't he make the branch family suffer a hundredfold?"
