"Enough!" "Shan Family's Patriarch, you are too presumptuous today. As the Patriarch of the Shan Family, how could you scold the Patriarch so casually? Shut up, otherwise, directly cancel this year's Shan Family's result and prevent the Zong Family from giving the Shan Family any material support for the next year!"

For the first time in history, that old-fashioned main combat faction had come to speak up for the Patriarch!? Fan Mu stared in shock at the middle-aged man who berated the old man from the Shan family, his face full of shock.

The little old man's heart was undoubtedly in a mess as well. He had never thought that the triangle-like relationship would collapse in an instant, and had not expected that this fellow would turn hostile. He suspiciously looked at Elder Xuan's eyes in an attempt to get some information from them.

The reason was simple. Elder Xuan believed that he was about to take over the Fan family, but after so many years of construction, everyone's authority was too low. It was so low that it couldn't compare to an elder. The branch family head could question it at any time.

To some extent, he had already brought himself into the position of Patriarch, only lacking the current Patriarch to personally announce his failure. However, this moment was not far, and only Fan Qing and Fan Mu were waiting for him to take the test. Within an incense's time, Fan Bin would announce his abdication.

"Well said," the white haired old man clapped his hands in boredom. "It seems like you are still somewhat enlightened in front of the greater picture."

Elder Xuan's eyebrows unconsciously twitched. He knew that there was a hint of mockery in old man Bai's words. However, at this moment, he was powerless to point it out and could only silently take advantage of the situation.

"We might as well hand over the remaining two to Elder Xuan," the old man suggested, glancing at the little Bun Zi. "After all, he is of high status and enjoys authority in both the Zong and the branch family. Of course, he has to hand them over to the most important people at the most crucial moment."

Fan Bin gave a knowing smile. Following Old Man Bai's request, he announced, "We'll do as Elder Bai says. Does any of you still have any meaning?"

Rather than say that they were at a loss of what to do, it would be more accurate to say that they were acting passively. They did not know what kind of medicine their clan leader was selling, nor did they know what kind of play Lord Xuan was singing, and all they felt like was that they were in a corner where both sides were abandoning each other to play chess. The six great families were just small soldiers who could only crawl forward one step at a time, and who knew when they would become cannon fodder for the enemy.

"Then that's it," Fan Bin answered. He clapped his hands and two pretty girls brought out a jade box which they handed over to Elder Xuan. Inside the jade box was a bamboo scroll, the same as the one in Old Man Bai's hands.

Elder Xuan did not seem happy at all. He knew that he had fallen into Old Man Bai's trap. He secretly cursed that damned old man in his heart, but he had no choice but to accept this position that many clan members yearned for.

Fan Mu sighed, he had not expected that he would have such a good brain at such a crucial moment. If he continued to be this examiner, even if Fan Mu's bloodline was above everyone else, the six branch families would still use the name of falsifying his results.

But now it was different, as long as his bloodline met the requirements, no one would doubt that Elder Xuan was the leader of the six branch families, and doubting him was equivalent to opposing him.

Fan Mu nodded subconsciously, but his heart involuntarily trembled. He realized that if he wanted to activate these hidden conditions, he had to satisfy one condition, and that was to win, and that was to win beautifully.

"What the hell, how can we even win like this!" Fan Mu could not help but curse inwardly, thinking to himself, now that the highest bloodline has reached the black rank, wouldn't I have to break through the gold rank bloodline to be the leader!? This was clearly letting a firefly compete with Haoyue, this was simply impossible!?
