Chapter 756: Chapter 818: Passing on the Throne Chapter 756: Chapter 818: Passing on the Throne Chapter Eight Hundred and Eighteen
Long Xiaoshan’s eyebrows knitted together, just as he was about to say something.
Shangguan Baihe said, “Good, Qian Qian has agreed.”
Long Xiaoshan turned back, puzzled; the private words Shangguan Baihe had just spoken to him outside were a request for his help in taking control of the Situ Family, which was why Long Xiaoshan had deliberately set a trap for Situ Mingde.
Now Situ Mingde, having burnt his bridges, wanted to appoint Situ Qian as the Family Head.
Yet, Shangguan Baihe had agreed.
Seeing the confusion in Long Xiaoshan’s eyes, Shangguan Baihe gave him a look.
Upon seeing this, Long Xiaoshan said no more.

Although he could force Shangguan Baihe into power with his strong methods, it would ultimately be an uneasy position, lacking genuine legitimacy.
...
Now that Shangguan Baihe had agreed,
he had no interest in saying anything more, as he had no interest in the position of the Situ Family Head from the beginning.
Situ Mingde probably thought that Long Xiaoshan was in a rush because he wanted to control the Situ Family through Shangguan Baihe.
Turning back, Long Xiaoshan said indifferently, “Alright then, since the Situ Family Head has his heart set on Situ Qian to be the next Head, we should not delay.
Let’s begin the handover ceremony now.”
Situ Mingde’s cheeks twitched wildly.
Long Xiaoshan was truly pushing things, wanting him to give up the position of Family Head right now.
He forced a smile and said, “Master Long, the handover of the Family Head is a major event.
We need to choose an auspicious time and hold a succession ceremony in the family ancestral hall.”
“Looking for an auspicious time is easy,” Long Xiaoshan calculated with his fingers and said, “Hmm, it’s the Dog Hour now, which is not bad for praying for blessings, sacrifices, consecration, and taking office.
It’s quite suitable for you to transfer your position! What, you don’t believe it?
If you don’t believe me, ask Master Wudao.”
Situ Mingde looked at Master Wudao pleadingly, and Master Wudao, observing his nose and heart with hands clasped, said, “Master Long is correct, it is indeed an auspicious time now.”
Damn!
Situ Mingde felt like crying without tears.
The old monk wasn’t an honest man either; knowing that Long Xiaoshan was a Grandmaster, he immediately switched his allegiance and stopped offering to help the Situ Family.
Now even Grandmaster Wudao was saying the same.
Situ Mingde knew he couldn’t avoid it today.
Long Xiaoshan was determined to take the position of Family Head from him.
His resolution hardened, and through gritted teeth he said, “Alright, let’s go to the ancestral hall now.”
The ancestral hall of the Situ Family had been moved from its original location to their current mansion, because the feng shui of the mansion was very good.
Therefore, the ancestral tablets had been moved there, and a new ancestral hall had been built specially.
The people of the Situ Family moved from the main hall to the ancestral hall.
As for transferring the title to Situ Qian, the members of the Situ Family were obviously unhappy, especially Situ Mingde’s sons, who had been eyeing the position for many years, only to be cut off by the weakest and least noticeable Situ Qian.
But now, even if Situ Mingde’s sons were deeply reluctant in their hearts, they did not dare to make a move in front of Long Xiaoshan, the demon-like figure.
Situ Jin was a lesson from the past.
They did not wish to come forward, then end up strangling themselves.
Although the position of Family Head was attractive, one had to be alive to enjoy it.
With Long Xiaoshan watching over, Situ Mingde had completely given up hope.
Now that there was no chance of resistance, with resignation came decisiveness, and his ambitious nature was revealed.
After paying homage to the ancestors,
Situ Mingde called out, “Qian Qian, come up here.”
Situ Qian hesitated a bit.
She still felt as if she were dreaming.
Shangguan Baihe whispered something in her ear, and after taking a deep breath, Situ Qian began to walk forward slowly.
With his hand on Situ Qian’s shoulder, Situ Mingde looked at his youngest daughter with tears welling in his eyes and said, “Qian Qian, you’ve suffered a lot these years.
Dad has seen all the sacrifices you’ve made for the family, and I’m sorry for not being there for you.”
Never having seen such a tender look from Situ Mingde, Situ Qian’s heart softened and she said in a low voice, “Dad, I know it hasn’t been easy for you either.
Let’s leave the past behind.”
Below them, Shangguan Baihe revealed a cold smile and murmured softly, “Sly old fox.”
Long Xiaoshan whispered in her ear, “With Situ Qian’s temperament being so soft, why did you agree to let her become the Family Head?”
Shangguan Baihe gave Long Xiaoshan a meaningful look and smiled without a word.
Long Xiaoshan shrugged his shoulders.
He knew that no one should underestimate this woman; like an alluring yet lethal poppy, given the right environment to thrive, Shangguan Baihe’s potential power could be astounding.
Offending her was definitely not wise for the Situ Family.
Meanwhile, Situ Mingde was crying profusely, turning into a situation where Situ Qian was the one comforting him instead.
Long Xiaoshan could only cough to get attention, “Family Head Situ, bear in mind the auspicious hour; it’s getting late.”
Situ Mingde quickly wiped his tears and said affectionately, “Qian Qian, I now pass the position of Family Head to you.
My good daughter, from now on you are the head of our Situ Family.
You must bear the responsibility.
If there’s anything you don’t understand, as long as your father still breathes, I will definitely help you.”
Situ Qian nodded timidly in agreement.
A glint flashed in Situ Mingde’s eyes; he removed an ancient jade thumb ring from his finger and announced to the Situ Family members below, “I now declare Situ Qian to be the new Family Head of our Situ Family.
Everyone must be united and work hard to support the Family Head.
Under her leadership, we will create even greater glory for the Situ Family.”
Having said that, he placed the jade thumb ring, symbolizing the leadership of the Situ Family, onto Situ Qian’s hand.
The expressions of the Situ Family members varied, but under Long Xiaoshan’s imposing presence, they reluctantly accepted the fact.
After the succession ceremony, the group returned to the main hall.
Long Xiaoshan spoke indifferently, “As for Situ Yu, none of you should inform him.
I will handle this matter personally.
Whoever leaks any information, you know the consequences.”
Crack!
A flash of golden light sparked in his eyes.
All the people from the Situ Family nodded in consent.
The reason Long Xiaoshan didn’t immediately deal with Situ Yu was that both Li Jialin and Gu Jingheng were secretly conspiring against Longyang Group with him.
Long Xiaoshan did not wish for the drama to end before it had even started.
He didn’t want to startle the snakes.
He didn’t want Li Jialin and Gu Jingheng to know their plot had been discovered too soon.
Seeing Long Xiaoshan had settled the affairs with the Situ Family, Old Monk Wudao approached him with palms pressed together and said, “Master Long.”
Long Xiaoshan smiled and asked, “Old Monk, why haven’t you left?
Are you waiting for me to invite you to a late-night snack?”
Master Wudao pressed his palms together and said, “Grandmaster, the earth energy of Yanxia Lake is connected to the welfare of the tens of thousands of residents on the lakeshore.
Now that you have sealed it and reconciled with the Situ Family, could you release the seal so that Yanxia Lake can return to its former state?”
“Oh, it’s that matter.
That’s easy!”
Long Xiaoshan reached into the void, and an invisible force of formation channels was activated.
Beams of white light shot from all around Yanxia Lake into his hand; these were the Array Jade Plaques of the sealing and suppression.
After Long Xiaoshan retrieved the formations, there was a boom!
The earth energy of Yanxia Lake surged upwards like a dragon ascending to the sky.
