"shut up!"

Ni Yongxiao abruptly stood up, suppressing his anger: "Tenth Brother, sit down!"

Upon hearing this...

Instead of showing any respect, Ni Yongren straightened his back, met Ni Yongxiao's gaze, and loudly retorted, "Fourth Brother, even if you are the head of the family, you must not disregard the last instructions left by Father before his death!"

Before he could finish speaking...

His sharp, knife-like gaze swept coldly across the entire room before he raised his voice and continued, "Today, we gather here in the ancestral hall, with the spirits of our ancestors above us!"

At this point, Ni Yongren looked at the crowd in Yong'an City and urged, "In this setting, if anyone has any thoughts or concerns, please feel free to speak them out!"

These words were spoken.

The once silent ancestral hall was suddenly filled with commotion, whispers and criticisms.

Among them, some people from Yong'an City nodded in agreement, expressing their deep agreement with what Ni Yongren said.

"Tenth brother..."

Seeing this, Ni Yongwen quickly waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, and at the same time gently advised, "Ah Kun is family, why are you being so confrontational?"

Beside him, Ni Yongci smiled gently, adopting a kind and approachable demeanor, and softly advised, "That's right! That's right! Don't get so agitated, let's talk things out!"

As she gestured for Ni Yongren to sit down, she emphasized, "Whatever the issue, we can discuss and resolve it calmly..."

However, Ni Yongren remained unmoved by the two men's earnest persuasion.

His facial features, reflected in the marble beneath his feet, appeared slightly distorted, and his eyes held a hidden resentment he longed to vent.

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father!

Looking at the scene before him, Ni Kun remained calm, but a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

at the same time.

"Hmph!" Just as Ni Yongren was about to speak again...

"That's enough!"

A furious roar suddenly rang out, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, startling everyone.

It turned out that Ni Yongwu, who had been holding back his anger, finally couldn't contain it any longer and suddenly stood up from his seat.

At this moment, the veins on his forehead bulged, making him look as ferocious as a dragon. His big eyes were wide open, shooting out two sharp, cold beams of light that pierced straight at Ni Yongren. He was exactly like a Vajra warrior who subdues demons.

"Tenth brother, how dare you speak to the patriarch like that? Sit down!"

Ni Yongren gritted his teeth, pursed his lips with a look of resentment, but was pulled down stiffly by Ni Yongjiao behind him.

however.

As he sat down, his gaze swept menacingly over the two trembling figures in the corner of the ancestral hall, as if he were secretly plotting something.

Exactly at this time.

"today!"

The fifth brother, Ni Yongxiang, waved his hand lightly, trying to ease the tense atmosphere, and emphasized in a gentle tone: "The main purpose of everyone gathering here is to discuss the arrangements for the master of ceremonies of the ancestral worship ceremony!"

These words were spoken.

"Cough cough..."

Ni Yongwen cleared his throat and said in a serious and solemn voice, "The matter of the master of ceremonies is indeed of utmost importance. Although I am the eldest brother, firstly, I am getting old; secondly, my fourth brother is exceptionally talented and capable; and more importantly, he is now the head of the family. Therefore, it is most suitable for my fourth brother to take on this important responsibility!"

His words were pertinent, and his tone was calm and steady, except that he slightly emphasized the words "patriarch" while slowly scanning the crowd of people from Yong'an City present.

"Second Brother is absolutely right!"

Ni Yongci and others echoed their agreement.

Seeing this situation, Ni Yongren frowned, feeling very dissatisfied.

However, he was just about to stir up trouble again.

"Hehehe, let me say a few words!"

Ni Yonggui stood up with a broad smile and said loudly, "Hehe, in my opinion, Fourth Brother is usually overworked and works very hard. Besides, the job of emcee is also a tough one. It would be more appropriate to hand it over to the younger generation!"

These words were spoken.

Ni Yongren's eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

He thought to himself that he had gone to pay his respects to the family's God of Wealth early a few days ago. Although he hadn't been able to meet the person in person, the generous gifts he had sent were indeed displayed in the June Residence!

Thinking of this, and recalling what Ni Yonggui had said earlier, the 28-year-old was filled with anticipation and joy.

However, just as he was immersed in his beautiful fantasy...

"Cough cough!"

Ni Yonggui cleared his throat, then raised his voice: "I have a suggestion... the master of ceremonies for this ceremony could be..."

Speaking of which...

Ni Yonggui paused deliberately, and at the same time, he slowly swept his shrewd eyes around the people around him.

Especially when his gaze met Ni Yongren's, he gave him a meaningful smile.

That smile is nothing to worry about.

This made Ni Yongren laugh heartily, so much so that his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

But in the end, Ni Yonggui continued to speak slowly but with unwavering determination.

"Ah Kun!"

These two simple words were like a thunderclap piercing the sky, or a heavy punch slamming into Ni Yongren's heart.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the already quiet ancestral hall became so tense that it was almost impossible to breathe.

"What?!"

Ni Yongren jumped up from his seat like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his face full of disbelief.

Then, his face quickly darkened, becoming so grim it was almost dripping with gloom, and he shouted, "No! Absolutely not! How could he possibly do it?!"

At this moment, Ni Kun remained silent, but his eyes revealed a deeper disappointment.

"snort!"

Ni Yongren let out a cold snort, his anger barely contained. He pointed at Ni Kun and demanded in a stern voice, "What qualifications does he have? A mere mortal, a man of mysterious origins, dares to presume to shoulder such an important responsibility!"

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing through the already tense atmosphere.

In an instant.

Some people in Yong'an City seemed to be set ablaze, and their emotions ran high.

They echoed in unison, "Exactly! Exactly! It's really hard to convince the public to have him as the master of ceremonies!"

In an instant, the whole scene became chaotic, with noise rising and falling.

However, at that moment...

"So noisy!"

Ni Yongshuang, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood up. Her eyes were sharp as knives. After scanning the crowd, they settled on the noisy people.

Her voice was cold and firm: "I also believe... Ah Kun is fully capable of doing it!"

She paused slightly at this point, but her powerful aura did not diminish in the slightest.

Everyone stared at Ni Yongshuang in astonishment. No one could believe that this usually quiet ice princess would so resolutely support Ni Kun at this moment.

Especially when they met Ni Yongshuang's gaze, her sharp and chilling eyes seemed to pierce through them, causing everyone's heart to tighten involuntarily.

finally.

Ni Yongshuang reiterated, "I will help him with any challenges!"

These words resounded like a thunderclap in the ancestral hall, causing everyone present to tremble.

Yes, Ni Yongshuang's attitude was not only on Ni Kun's side, but also a declaration that no one was allowed to challenge the fourth brother's position as the head of the family.

"Um!"

Upon seeing this, Ni Yongxiao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

He nodded emphatically and replied, "Yes, I think Sixth Brother and Seventh Sister are absolutely right. Ah Kun does indeed possess such strength!"

Ni Yongxiao's statement undoubtedly sealed the deal.

"Fourth Brother is right!"

Ni Yongwu echoed without hesitation, "Since Fourth Brother has said so, it must be true!"

Ni Yongwen and Ni Yongci exchanged a glance, then turned their gaze to Ni Kun, before looking together at Ni Yongxiao, whose face was serious and focused. They both nodded slightly: "Very good! Very good! This matter is settled!"

But at that very moment...

Suddenly, a piercing and unpleasant laugh rang out—"Hehehe..."

Seeing that the position of emcee was hopeless, Ni Yongren gritted his teeth and made a sound of displeasure, his uncontrollable anger about to erupt.
