"Dad!" Ji Honglian shouted, with an angry and anxious look on her face.

Ji Hou glanced at his daughter. He, who had always loved Ji Honglian, no longer spoke kindly and coaxed him like he usually did. Instead, his eyes were slightly cold, his face darkened, and he said, "Didn't you hear what I said just now?"

No matter what, Ji Hou is one of the three elders of the Holy City today, with great authority and great power. He was a little bit arrogant, even if Ji Honglian had always been favored by him, he was scared and dared not speak any more.

But although she lowered her head and said nothing, she still looked sad on her face. Obviously, she was still not convinced and was also worried about the situation on Yin He.

Seeing this, Ji Hou sighed in his heart, waved to his most beloved daughter, signaling her to sit beside him, and then said, "Do you think that if your father becomes this elder, he can do whatever he wants and do whatever he wants?"

Ji Honglian thought for a while and said, "Isn't it?"

Ji Hou suffocated for a while, and didn't know what to say for a moment, but when he saw his daughter's clear gaze, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He reached out and patted her head gently, and sighed: "Don't pretend to be stupid in front of me. You are not young anymore. How can you not know the rules here? Yes, with the power of our Ji family, it can indeed be considered a prosperous place in the holy city, but there are still rules in everything. If you want to suppress others with power, today and tomorrow will be suppressed. In the end, we will only be angry with the public, and then the good days of our Ji family will come to an end."

Ji Honglian bit Hongrun’s lower lip and said, “Then we don’t care about it, we will only help Yin He once, okay?”

"No!" Ji Hou refused bluntly, saying, "The inheritance of the noble family in the Holy City has always been decided in his own family. Unless it is a sin of sin or a serious crime that disobeys human ethics, the Presbyterian Church will not interfere with it."

"This is a rule that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is also a consensus shared by all nobles of the Holy City. Whoever crosses the line rashly is equivalent to a provocation and offense to all the nobles." Ji Hou looked at his daughter and said lightly, "Do you think there is something worth my risk for him just a young man in Yinhe?"

Ji Honglian was speechless and couldn't help but feel a little angry, and said a little annoyed: "As you said, outsiders can never interfere with the inheritance of aristocratic families. In the holy city, are there no evil or bad things? Is there no good people who are framed innocently and bad people who are ascending to the sovereignty of the family?"

"Yes, many are." Ji Hou said.

Ji Honglian was really surprised, stared at her father, and after a while, she said in surprise: "What did you say?"

Ji Hou smiled faintly, stood up from his seat, and walked to the window of the study room.

His study is above a tall building, and it is one of the highest points in the entire Ji family mansion. The reason is that Ji Hou has always liked to stand on a high place and overlook the holy city.

At this moment, he looked through the window and saw the buildings below and the streets. Although they could not compare to the feeling of looking down at all living beings on the top of the Great Pyramid, they also had a faint sense of transcendence. Large areas of houses were connected together. In addition to the Ji family mansion, there were many houses, carved railings, painted buildings, and gorgeous and luxurious, because this was the most concentrated place in the holy city where the aristocratic mansions were housed.

Looking at this building that is invisible and symbolizing power and power, Ji Hou said: "Since this holy city, there have been many aristocratic families. We have lived here for thousands of years for generations, with so many people and so many aristocratic families, nothing has happened."

He sneered, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, pointing to a place outside the window, and said, "That's the Song family. The heads of their previous generation were cruel and easy to kill. Like a madman, they killed twenty-seven slaves at home at one time, and even we can smell the smell of blood."

"That's the Xiahou family. Don't look at their popularity and popularity is comparable to ours, but in the past five generations, their family's surname is Mi. Do you want to know why they changed their names?"

"And the Sun family next door looks prosperous, but in the past thirty years, their family has given birth to more than twenty fools and more than a dozen born disabled. Do you think it's just a bad luck? I feel that the whole house is smelly, and even next to them I feel that my house is smelly!"

Ji Honglian was stunned and couldn't speak for a while, and her face gradually became a little pale.

Ji Min slowly retracted her eyes from the window, walked back to her desk and sat down. After a moment of silence, she slowed down her voice and said to Ji Honglian: "Xiao Lian, you must know that under the sacred mountain, on the Great Wilderness, there has been nothing new in the holy city for thousands of years. You seem to be too much about the Yin family and Yin He, and you think it is not worth it for the young man named Yin He, but compared with the past, more and more terrifying things have happened in many families in this holy city, far better than what he has encountered now."

"The position of the head of aristocratic family is born with fame, power, wealth and honor. Once you sit on it, you can be superior to others. You are the best. Of course, everyone has to grab this advantage, and you have to fight for it. Whoever can grab it and win it will be his. If you have the ability, you can also accept it. Other families who are watching are also recognized."

Ji Honglian took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and said, "But as far as I know, there are also people from aristocratic families who dote on a certain child because the head of the family favors a certain child and insists on excluding capable children regardless of criticism. So what do you say?"

Ji Hou laughed and said, "We recognize this too. This is a good thing. If any family is not open to their eyes and chooses a waste to be the head of the family. No matter whether they act in the future or do nothing, this aristocratic family will definitely be in decline. At that time, do you know how many powerful families are eyeing them and robbing their foundation? Do you know how many lower-ranking people are trying their best to climb up and kill the waste families above so that they can reach the high position of the Holy City?"

"Everyone wants this to happen."

Ji Honglian was speechless and slowly lowered her head. Ji Hou reached out and gently raised her white chin, letting her look at her, and said calmly: "So, I don't care about the Yin family. If Yin He has the ability, he will take back the position of the head of the family by himself. If he doesn't have the ability, he will admit that he is unlucky and no one cares where he dies. You are the daughter of our Ji family. You must understand these things and don't be so naive anymore."

Ji Honglian gritted her teeth lightly, then nodded silently and with some difficulty, then stood up and walked towards the door of the study.

Ji Hou looked at the back of his daughter and felt that she seemed to have grown up and matured at this moment. He nodded with satisfaction and picked up the book on the table again.

However, when Ji Honglian was about to walk out of the door, she suddenly stopped and said to Ji Hou: "Why do I think that our Holy City family is like the wolf pack on the Great Wilderness? It is extremely vicious and surrounds prey, but once a wolf pack is injured and bleeding, all the wolves will turn around and attack when they smell the bloody smell, tear their companions into their skin and flesh and blood, and finally eat all the skin and bones!"

Ji Hou smiled, raised the book in his hand and signaled to Ji Honglian, and then smiled and said, "You are right."
