Chapter 1012: Chapter 1009: A Forceful Declaration
"I understand, Master!"
Qian Jinhua’s indifferent lips curled slightly, revealing a graceful yet stern smile.
Qin Hao was very satisfied. Taking advantage when no one was looking, his hand slipped over Qian Jinhua’s well-rounded buttocks.
Qian Jinhua’s delicate body shivered involuntarily. Fortunately, the movent was small, and no one noticed.
Her expression was slightly awkward, but she quickly adjusted, casting an angry glare at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao’s smile remained unchanged, and he whispered, "This is a test for you; I’m testing if you can truly remain calm as ice."
"Master, you’re so annoying!"
Qian Jinhua could only curse in her heart; little did she know Qin Hao was addicted to "testing," and his salty hands ca over again.
Poor Queen of the Qian Family, she could only endure her master’s harassnt, walking forward with a stern yet dignified smile.
When the two reached the hall, there were fewer people around.
Currently seated in the mansion were mainly mbers of the Qian Family with seniority.
Compared to other families, the Qian Family appeared much more disorganized.
The persons in charge all have separate villas and work, so it’s rare for them to gather.
Even though last night they sought to denounce Qin Hao, only half of the Qian Family were present.
Otherwise, in the Qian Family, ruled by martial strength, Qin Hao would not have escaped so easily.
Upon arrival in the living room, Qin Hao dared not "test" his disciple again, considering that all present were senior elders, sharp-eyed indeed.
Feeling the salty hand leave her rear, Qian Jinhua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Leading Qin Hao over, she said with a detached expression, "Is the ceremony ready?"
Seven or eight elders from the sofa all stood up.
They are the Elder Council of the Qian Family, also supporters of Qian Jinhua’s faction.
Qian Feishun, belonging to the leading position, said indifferently, "As per your request, everything is simplified; just presenting the Token and giving a brief speech is enough."
Another elder said, "Qian Haiyu’s ntal state is still unstable, diagnosed as dentia. Whether or not he gives verbal transfer matters little now."
Qian Jinhua nodded slightly and looked at the door ahead, saying, "What about them?"
"Them," referring to the group behind the door.
This group, as Qian Jinhua referred to, is the opposition.
They are loyal subordinates of Qian Haiyu. Even as the ceremony is about to begin, they resolutely oppose Qian Jinhua’s rise.
"They still stubbornly insist that unless you present the Token, they will reluctantly agree, waiting for Qian Haiyu to recover or find an appropriate candidate to reselect the patriarch."
Qian Feishun said disdainfully, "These fellows still discriminate against won, unaware that their descendants are all incompetent; combined, they’re not worth a finger of Jinhua."
He is now a Grandmaster, the anchor of the family, extrely stable in status, speaking with quite a bold and dominant manner.
Qian Jinhua didn’t feel joy from her master’s praise.
On the contrary, due to so elders’ stubborn resistance, she’s not in a great mood.
"Jinhua, don’t be afraid, just proceed with the ceremony."
Qian Feishun comfortingly patted Qian Jinhua on the shoulder.
Qian Jinhua pondered for a mont, then could only nod, "Then let’s proceed for now."
After chatting for a while in the living room, Qian Feishun pulled Qin Hao to the corner and whispered, "Did you bully my disciple?"
Qin Hao blinked his eyes, "Why do you say that?"
"Stop pretending!"
Qian Feishun was sowhat anxious, "I’ve watched my disciple grow up, none of her thoughts escape my eyes. Earlier, her breathing was unsteady, her gaze was wandering, clearly she suffered grievances from you."
Qin Hao shook his head, "I really didn’t bully her."
"Impossible, there’s no way she’d be like this without reason." Qian Feishun pursued persistently, "Tell , what did you do to her."
"It was nothing." Qin Hao replied seriously.
"What does ’nothing’ specifically an?" Qian Feishun beca even more curious.
Qin Hao raised his hand, looking at his palm, "Just used this, touched her."
"Touched her?" Qian Feishun was puzzled, but upon turning his head, he saw so wrinkles on Qian Jinhua’s pants and understood.
This guy, touching his precious disciple’s butt before the ceremony was about to begin?
Good heavens, what kind of shaless person is this!
"You are shaless!" Qian Feishun said through gritted teeth.
"It’s not so bad, it’s to test if the disciple can handle big events." Qin Hao said with a righteous deanor, not showing an ounce of sha.
"I want to duel with you!" Qian Feishun was truly infuriated, his precious disciple had been nurtured from a young age.
Qin Hao, not fulfilling a master’s responsibilities, dare to take advantage instead?
Too shaless!
"I refuse."
Qin Hao took a step back, wearing a slightly amused expression.
Recently unable to use Power of Bloodline, with little Spiritual Qi left inside, he had neither the energy nor ti to waste with Qian Feishun.
"I don’t care! I want to duel with you!"
Qian Feishun clamored like a fighting rooster.
People around looked over, all rolling their eyes, wondering what kind of trouble had befallen the Patriarch’s two masters.
...
Eventually, Qin Hao and Qian Feishun didn’t end up fighting.
Of course, it was Qian Jinhua who ca out to resolve it.
This girl, now as Patriarch, was gradually mastering the skills.
She separated the two, placated them, and resolved the issue.
Another twenty minutes passed, Qian Jinhua saw the ti was about right, and had the guards bring people into the hall.
The advantage of the mansion was that the hall was large enough.
And the hall being large ant it could accommodate many people, enough for a small ceremony.
As for the ceremony, it’s simply having listeners below, while Qian Jinhua stands before the second-floor railing to speak.
Her opening sentence was very concise.
"I know many of you are not convinced by . However, there’s no explicit rule in the Qian Family saying a woman can’t be Patriarch."
As soon as she said this, most nodded in quiet agreent.
Only four elders expressed disdain.
These four stood in the corner, staunch opponents of Qian Jinhua.
Ignoring them, Qian Jinhua continued her speech.
Her voice wasn’t forceful, nor was her tone intimidating; the only comndable aspect was her emotional investnt.
When she had spoken enough, an elder from the opposition shouted, "Enough about trivial talk, my ears are forming calluses!"
Qian Feishun glared at him furiously.
Supporters of Qian Jinhua similarly glared at him with anger.
The elder rely wore a cold expression, "I’m not here to watch you play house."
Qian Jinhua pressed her hand down, signaling for the crowd to calm.
"I know, Eighth Elder is very unconvinced by . Unfortunately, in front of the Token, your disapproval counts for little."
With those words, Qian Jinhua raised a Token, none other than the Celestial Dragon Order.
At the sight of this Order, the elder’s face turned aggrieved, but he had no choice but to endure.
"Does Eighth Elder still object?"
Qian Jinhua maintained her smile, asking.
Eighth Elder’s face grew colder, staying silent.
"That’s great, from this day forward, I am the Patriarch of the Qian Family!"
