Chapter 1697: Chi Chan Accepts The Responsibility
When the Supreme Hall Master of the Imperial Beast Hall expressed his stance, everyone knew that there was no chance Chi Li would become the Patriarch.
The entire square was filled with cries of amazement and awe, but Chi Chan stood as still as a statue. She hadn't spoken a word ever since she arrived, yet Li Luo had methodically and violently torn down every single obstacle in her path. He wanted to make sure that she wouldn't run into any issues after she took over the Chi family, so he had taken the initiative to draw Lin Miao out and use overbearing means to force a decision out of him.
Chi Chan was utterly taken aback by what she had just witnessed; she found this more surprising than when Li Luo single-handedly dealt with the three Triple Crowned Devil Kings. It wasn't because Lin Miao was stronger than three Devil Kings, but because of her perception as a resident of the Mythical Spirit Divine Continent. From a young age, she held the Imperial Beast Hall in deep reverence, and Lin Miao was the unmatched overlord of all of the powers in the East Sea Region.
However, that idea had been overturned today. Just how shocking and impressive was this?
Chi Chan's beautiful eyes focused on Li Luo's back as she felt complicated feelings arise within her. At this point, he turned around to meet her gaze. The unyielding and fierce look he had when facing Lin Miao and the rest quickly softened.
"Mentor Chi Chan, it's time for you to complete the succession," he said with a grin.
Chi Chan's heart trembled uncontrollably. Her path had been paved and she simply had to walk forward. Although she deeply disliked this place, this was her home. She had many ties left to this place, and when she escaped alone all those years ago, she never thought that she would set foot here again. Who could have expected that she would not only return, but the entire structure of the Chi family would change with her arrival.
All of this was because of Li Luo. She felt immensely fortunate, and she was glad that she had made the right choice when she picked Li Luo as her student at the Astral Sage College.
In front of everyone's eyes, Li Luo led Chi Chan to stand before the old Patriarch.
"Greetings, Patriarch," said Chi Chan, bowing respectfully.
