h, had already ascended to high positions within the divine court. They were arrogant and believed that only ordinary disciples of the Ghost Witch Cult had taken Helena captive. They thought that with...Although everyone was puzzled by this, it was the homeowner's decision. The Elder didn't speak, and naturally no one else had the right to object.

"Please be quiet, everyone. Now, I announce the second thing."

Everyone immediately fell silent. Since these two things were mentioned alongside the succession of the head of the household, it was clearly no small matter.

As expected, Changsun Wenzhi took out a rhombus-shaped wooden plaque. It looked ancient and elegant, with the word "Order" on one side and the formal characters "Changsun Er" on the other.

Everyone in the Changsun family knows this. It's the head of the family's token. As long as they see this token, it is like the head of the family is here in person, and they can mobilize all the power and assets of the Changsun family.

But the Changsun family hasn't seemed to have ever allowed anyone else to use the token over all these years. I wonder what their purpose is in taking it out today.

"I believe everyone knows the meaning of this token, and now I entrust it to my grandson, Ye Bufan."

From now on, whoever from the Changsun family sees him will be as if seeing the head of the household.

After Changsun Wenzhi announced this news, everyone present was instantly blown away. It was even more shocking than the previous announcement of succession to the head of the family.

The position was passed to Changsun Cangsong, which was somewhat unexpected. However, he was the eldest son of the head of the family, and had also been one of the most popular candidates for succession back in the day, so everyone could accept it.

It was unimaginable that the patriarch's token would suddenly be handed over to that young man.

Especially Changsun Liyan and others were instantly dumbfounded. Although the old man hadn't announced how to deal with what just happened, giving the head of family token to Ye Bufan already represented his attitude.

These people were also confused. Wasn't the old man forced to bring this mother and son back Why was he suddenly given the head of the family token Could there be something else going on here

"Father, I disagree."

Changsun Liyan rose to his feet first, saying, “Ye Bufan just entered our Changsun family. How could he possibly be worthy of the Patriarch Token This isn't fair and it will likely make people unconvinced.”

"What qualifications could he possibly have" Changsun Wenzhi let out a cold smile. "Xiao Fan's contributions far exceed your imagination. If it hadn't been for his help last night, our Changsun family would have likely been expelled from the Five Great Families."

Do you think this merit deserves the title of head of the family

Another wave of commotion rippled through the crowd. Nobody had expected the elder to hold Ye Bufan in such high regard.

"Could something major have happened at the Changsun family last night"

But since the old man didn't say anything, others naturally didn't dare to ask.

Changsun Qingbai said, "But patriarch, after all, Ye Bufan is still too young. If he possesses the patriarch's token, I'm afraid it would be detrimental to Big Brother just inheriting the position of patriarch."

He didn't want Ye Bufan to have such a high position, controlling the family token, which would put him on an equal footing with the head of the family. After that, there wouldn't be any good days for them.

So he moved out the eldest grandson, Cang Song, whom the elder cared about most, hoping to change this decision.

"It's nothing, if Xiao Fan is willing, I will immediately give him the position of head of the family."

Before Changsun Wenzhi could speak, Changsun Cangsong stepped forward.

"This..."

Changsun Qingbai was instantly dumbfounded, and so were all the people present. No one had expected that Changsun Wenzhi and his son would be so fond of Ye Bufan, even to the point of giving up the position of Patriarch.

What they didn't know was the outcome that the father and son had just discussed behind the scenes. They both believed that Ye Bufan was definitely not an ordinary person.

As long as Changsun Cangsong maintains a good relationship with this nephew, the Changsun family will inevitably take things further in the future, and even becoming the number one family in the imperial capital is not impossible.

"Alright, that settles it." Changsun Wenzhi said again. "Now, I announce the third matter."

Everyone in the room immediately fell silent, the first two things were one more shocking than the last, and no one knew what the third thing could be.

Changsun Liyan felt a bad premonition rising in his heart, as if this had something to do with him and his people.

Changsun Wenzhi's expression was gloomy: "Dongju and Xiaofan are both people I invited back. I absolutely won't allow anyone to disrespect them."

But there are some people who are blind and dare to insult others.

I now declare that the Changsun Lìyán family and the Changsun Qīngbǎi family are expelled from the Changsun clan, and they are forever forbidden to step foot within the family gates.

"Holy crap!"

As soon as these words were uttered, the people present once again wore expressions of disbelief.

No one expected that the old man would expel both Changsun Qingbai and Changsun Liyan's families for a Ye Bufan.

Although Changsun Liyan might not be impressive, he is still the old man's biological son.

Although Changsun Qingbai is a distant relative, Changsun Yi is a standout among the younger generation.

Now the two families are huddled together, all swept out the door. This shows how high Ye Bufan's status is in Changsun Wenzhi's heart.

Liang Meiyun and Wu Yanhong, the two women, were instantly dumbfounded. At this moment, they realized the extent of their foolish mistakes.

Mr. Ye Bufan, not only was he not disliked by the old man, but he was treated with great importance. Even the family head token was given to him. Right now, the two of them are filled with regret. They wish they had never gone to provoke Changsun Dongju and her son.

"Father, you can't [everyday] kick me out like this, I haven't done anything."

By now, Changsun Liyan has stopped caring about others and only hopes to save himself.

"Watching you let your woman bully your sister while you don't say a word, not even to your wife. What use is a man like you"

Longsun Wenzhi's face was full of disgust, obviously disappointed with his son to the extreme.

He waved his hand and told the servants beside him, “Get out of here all of you.”

Long Sun Yi still couldn't believe what had happened. He had always been the pride of the Long Sun family, so how could he have been expelled

"Master, please speak up for me! I am your apprentice's grandson, and the Changsun family will need me in the future…"

Changsun Wugong was the eldest in the Changsun family, his status was supreme and he had great influence. If he spoke up for himself at this moment, Changsun Wenzhi would certainly be able to change his decision.

To his surprise, Changsun Wugong only glared at him fiercely: "From now on, you have nothing to do with me. The Changsun family doesn't need a waste like you."

Although Changsun Yi possessed some talent, he was insignificant in the old man's eyes. He would only offer a few pointers when bored out of his mind.

If he had offended someone else, Changsun Wugong might have been able to say a few good words for him, but now that he has offended Ye Bufan, the old man hasn't even moved his hand, which is already very merciful.

"Master, you can't do this! Master, I'm a genius..."

Changsun Yi wanted to say something more, but he was grabbed by the arms by two bodyguards and dragged out of the hall.

Several other people were treated the same way, dragged away and thrown out of the Changsun family.

After the incident, the entire hall was silent.

Even a fool could see now that this young man was not someone they could mess with.

Even Commander Sun Liyan and his nephew, Changsun Qingbai, were subjected to the fate of being exiled with their entire families. Not to mention others.

"Alright, the past is in the past. Now, let's begin the feast."

Changsun Wenzhi waved his hand, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately became cheerful.

No one mentioned Changsun Qiu Lan anymore, nor did anyone recall Changsun Liyan and Changsun Qingbai. Everyone held their cups and lined up to toast Changsun Dongju and her son.

Ye Bufan had a serene smile on his face. After today, his mother would never be bullied by anyone at the Changsun family again.airs are all the fault of this old man. It was I who, for a moment, was consumed by greed and listened to Yin Wei Yong's words, thus leading to the present grave error."I am willing to take full respo...
