The members of the Li Family gradually returned from outside, bowing to bid farewell to the ancestor in the coffin, and then sat silently on one side with a frown.
In the memorial hall, the candlelight flickered uncertainly, seemingly symbolizing the future of the Li Family.
After an unknown amount of time, there was suddenly a report from outside.
"Sect Leader He, Elder Chen Yuanzi, Elder Huang have arrived~~"
The drowsy Li Family members immediately perked up. Before Song Yan could rise, some disciples had already stood up first, but there were also disciples who sat motionless, looking disdainfully at those who hurriedly got up.
A disciple mocked, "The Family Head hasnβt even stood up, yet you rush to greet them, how amusing."
The standing disciple was stunned and retorted, "What are you saying? The Family Head is an elder of the Crane Spirit Sect and ought to stand, you... you you you..."
He pointed to those still sitting with composure and said, "At a time like this, are you trying to put the Li Family in danger?!"
Another sitting disciple said, "Our Li Family has the Ice Abyss Phoenix guarding us, what is there to fear?"
Another standing disciple said, "The Ice Abyss Phoenix is a foundation of the Li Family, it should not be lightly used unless absolutely necessary? Now that the Sect Leader He has come, we ought to greet him respectfully as we always have. How can we become arrogant and dismissive due to the sudden addition of the Ice Abyss Phoenix, and change the previous respect hierarchy? If we truly act like this, wouldnβt we be creating trouble and making enemies?"
A hoarse cold laugh suddenly erupted from among the seated.
Everyone looked over and saw it was a man with a black cloth wrapped around his eyes, clad in mourning attire.
This man was none other than Li Jingyun, who had just handed over the guardianship responsibilities of Biluo Valley and came to the memorial hall to bid farewell to the old master.
Feeling the gazes upon him, Li Jingyun said, "This is indeed a world of wolves, yet you still pretend to be sheep.
Arrogance? Respect hierarchy? Making enemies? What a grand joke!"
Once these words fell, the younger ones dared not speak, as Li Jingyun was truly a master of the Profound Yellow Realm.
As soon as the words dropped, another Profound Yellow master directly said, "Ha, after all, he climbed up from the Lower Realm step by step, knowing only brute force and not understanding the rules."
Li Zhongshan slightly raised his old eyes, glancing at Song Yan on one side, asking, "What does the Family Head think?"
Song Yan said, "I think Jingyun makes sense."
As the words fell, everyone was taken aback.
Li Jingyun was also surprised.
Han Lingzi cast a startled glance as well.
Song Yan said lightly, "The strong are revered, the weak are humble. With Little Ice here, the position of our Li Family can certainly change. So, starting today, Uncle Zhongshan, what do you think?"
Li Zhongshan never thought Li Xuanchan would be so assertive, and could only say, "Yes..."
Several disciples who had stood up were also rooted to the spot.
