Shen Zhentian looked at the two children radiating the aura of royalty and couldn't help but smile with joy. That smile was like a withered tree coming to life in spring, instantly dispelling the gloom on his face.
He completely ignored Shen Zhenhai and the others, excitedly gazing at Chen Li, his voice trembling as he asked, "Li, Yue'er, do you really want to take on the role of the head of the Shen Family?"
Chen Li and Shen Qingyue exchanged glances. Shen Qingyue opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing, instead directing her gaze towards Chen Li.
Feeling the focus of everyone's attention on him, Chen Li helplessly shrugged his small shoulders. Even if he felt like he was being pushed into a corner, he couldn't delay any longer with outsiders looking for trouble.
With that thought in mind, Chen Li no longer hesitated. "Grandfather, Uncle, since you are passing the position of family head to me, I will naturally take on this responsibility. From now on, I will protect the Shen Family!"
Though his tone was youthful, it was filled with unwavering determination and composure. In that moment, it felt as if he had drawn forth a hidden blade.
Even though these words came from a child, no one could ignore the powerful aura emanating from Chen Li. It was as if a formidable guardian had truly risen to protect the Shen Family.
Shen Zhentian looked at his little grandson with pride in his eyes. Shen Yunting and Shen Yunlei watched him and felt a sense of hope for the future of the Shen Family. They even saw in Chen Li the emergence of a strong and vibrant Shen Family.
However, Shen Zhenhai's expression darkened immediately. He had brought so many strong descendants to vie for the position of family head, only to be completely disregarded. Especially when his elder brother had directly handed over the position to an inexperienced child right in front of him—wasn't that a slap in the face?
With that thought, his anger flared even more. "Shen Zhentian, you really have no shame! Just because of two little brats, you think you can challenge Old Madam for the position of head of the Shen Family? It seems your line is running out of luck!"
Shen Zhenhai's gaze turned cold as he fixed it on Chen Li and Shen Qingyue, his voice laced with ominous malice.
As soon as he finished speaking, the shifty-eyed man behind him began to shout, "That's right, Uncle. Are you really going to let two little brats who haven't even grown their first hairs take over the Shen Family? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by everyone in the capital? No wonder you're getting worse and worse!"
"You should know when to step back. Don't worry, as long as your branch stays quiet and lives out its days here, I guarantee my father will spare your lives!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhenhai wore an even more smug expression on his gloomy face. He had come prepared this time. In addition to years of cultivation, he had received help from a certain individual and even gained a top eight Innate fighter. That was more than enough to deal with Shen Zhentian!
"Shen Zhenhai, considering our blood ties, I won't hold it against you. If you turn back now, there's still time! Otherwise, if Li and Yue'er truly get angry, you might not be able to handle it!"
A cold glint flashed in Shen Zhentian's eyes, and the last shred of familial affection vanished.
"Hahaha! Brother, you've really lost your mind! They're just two little kids; no matter how powerful they are, can they really turn the world upside down?"
"It seems you've truly aged. You say you have no resources and your cultivation is getting weaker. If I take over this family, even if you die, you'll still thank me in the future!"
Shen Zhenhai looked at Shen Zhentian with arrogance, his eyes filled with disdain and greed. He no longer concealed his thoughts.
After saying that, he eagerly tried to rush to the main seat. However, at that moment, a small hand firmly grasped his wrist.
"With just you, do you think you can touch my grandfather?"
Chen Li's voice was as cold as ice, piercing through the air. Despite his small stature, a powerful force erupted from him, firmly gripping Shen Zhenhai's wrist.
Shen Zhenhai was instantly taken aback; he looked at Chen Li in disbelief. Pain shot through his wrist as if it were caught in an iron vice, threatening to shatter his bones.
Veins bulged on his forehead as his face twisted in agony, yet he could not break free from Chen Li's seemingly delicate grip.
"You... you..." Shen Zhenhai stared wide-eyed in terror, stuttering as he spoke.
But being an elder, he couldn't show weakness; he could only coldly bark back, "You little brat! How dare you disrespect your elders? This is outrageous! Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your mother!"
"Lao Liu, take him down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure dressed in a Black-Robed Elder stepped forward slowly from behind Shen Zhenhai.
"Impudent child, how dare you!"
His voice was deep and resonant, carrying a powerful pressure that made the eardrums of everyone present buzz.
All eyes were instantly drawn to him.
The old man was slender yet stood straight like a pine tree, with hawk-like eyes that seemed capable of piercing through all illusions. His face was lined with wrinkles, etched by time, exuding an eerie and intimidating aura.
He walked over to Shen Zhenhai's side, standing with his hands clasped behind his back, an invisible pressure enveloping the entire hall in an instant.
Everyone felt a heaviness in their chests, as if a tremendous force was pressing down on them, causing their breathing to slow.
Innate Level Nine!
Shen Zhentian's expression changed, and his heart sank.
This old man was actually an Innate Level Nine expert! It was known that there were not many such masters in the entire capital. Typically, only nobles of Marquis rank and above had such backing; he never expected Shen Zhenhai to have invited such a powerful ally!
Shen Zhenhai glanced at Shen Zhentian with a smug look and sneered, "Big brother, how do you feel now? Are you scared? I advise you to obediently relinquish the position of family head to avoid suffering."
Hmph! The position of family head was passed down from our ancestors; it is not something you can just give away!
Although Shen Zhentian was shocked internally, his attitude remained firm. This was the only thing he could do for his grandchildren. Even if it cost him his life, he had to ensure that Li and Yue'er obtained this position. Only then could they proceed with the Bloodline Awakening and purification.
Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty!
Shen Zhenhai's expression darkened as he turned to the Black-Robed Elder and said, "Lao Liu, please take action and teach them a lesson; just leave them alive!"
The Black-Robed Elder nodded slightly, his gaze icy as he fixed it on Chen Li. In a cold voice, he said, "You little brat, being so arrogant at such a young age—today Old Madam will teach you what it means to know your place!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Black-Robed Elder vanished from sight and appeared before Chen Li in an instant. His fingers curled into claws, carrying a fierce gust of wind as he reached for Chen Li's throat.
Chen Li felt a blur before his eyes, and suddenly the Black-Robed Elder was right in front of him.
Surprise surged within him as he instinctively wanted to evade, but a voice echoed suddenly in his mind.
