I wish you a long life and good health, and great merits.

Song Qingqing looked at the future successor she had chosen.

Song Jingyou: Wood spiritual root, spiritual root value 91.

Song Jingchu: Ice spiritual root, spiritual root value 90.

These two people were brave and resourceful after the Song family was in trouble, and they offered suggestions. If the difference in strength was not so great, the Song family might not have been completely divided up.

"You are not the best, so you should be wondering why I chose you?"

"Please let the clan leader know." Song Jingyou and Song Jingchu never dared to think that such a good thing would happen to them.

"Although your talents are not the best in the clan, I will find a way to make up for it. I chose you because of your character, perseverance, broad-mindedness, good sense of responsibility, and I found that you are very smart and have the talent to be leaders."

Song Jingyou and Song Jingchu already admired Song Qingqing, and they were so happy to hear the person they admired praising them so much.

The damn corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed no matter what, so he had to pinch them hard to prevent them from being too rude in front of Song Qingqing.

"As the people who are most likely to become clan leaders in the future, I hope you can understand what the clan leader's responsibility is. It is to make the clan prosperous. The clan will protect your growth, and your growth will protect the clan."

Song Jingyou and Song Jingchu knelt down and promised: "Disciple will definitely take the family as his own responsibility, protect the clan members, and make the family prosperous."

Song Qingqing told them the reason why she changed the heir.

"The reason I told you this is that I want you to understand that the survival of the family is above all else. When you are in a position, you must govern. You must know what you should do and what you should not do.

I am just like you, I was chosen and trained by the family. I have experienced everything you will experience in the future. If you want to do whatever you want, you must be strong enough. Otherwise, don't think too much about things you shouldn't think about. "

"I will remember your teachings and will not let down my clan leader or my fellow tribesmen."

"The martial arts competition is less than a year away. You are now in the late Jindan stage. I want you to reach the Yuanying stage before the martial arts competition."

Song Jingyou, Song Jingchu: "..." Clan leader, we are very happy that you think highly of us, but don't think too highly of us, it's impossible.

"Next, I will personally train you. It will be very hard and tiring, and it will be unbearable for ordinary people. I will give you a chance to choose. If you don't want to endure this hardship, I won't force you. It's not too late to quit now."

"Clan leader, I am not afraid of hardship." Let's try our best. What the clan leader said is absolutely right. If she says we can do it, then we will definitely do it.

"You are the good sons of the Song family. I will give you two days to deal with your personal affairs, and then you can practice in seclusion."

"Yes."

After the first elder and the second elder returned, their granddaughter and son asked them separately why the clan leader did not choose them because they were more outstanding?

The first and second elders told them directly that they were not suitable. It was they, as elders, who made Song Qingqing not choose them and took the blame on themselves.

The granddaughter of the first elder and the son of the second elder refused to give in and refused to submit.

As a result, he became obedient after being given a meal of stir-fried meat with bamboo sticks by the first and second elders.

On the other hand, the Zhao family and the Qian family investigated the matter of the Song family's selection of an heir and found that the Song family was serious about it. They had already offered sacrifices to their ancestors and informed the public.

Zhao Mingfei and Qian Batian carefully checked the areas around Zhao Minrou and Qian Nanchen again, but found nothing.

This is not it, that is not it, Zhao Mingfei and Qian Batian were confused for a moment.

In the end, the doctor attributed the incident to the two being attacked by the water lotus. It was a rare opportunity that they were unlucky enough to encounter.

Zhao Mingfei approached Qian Batian and said, "I can't find any clues here. Does Chief Qian have any clues?"

"No."

"Do you think the Song family did it?"

"Don't you already have the answer? Why are you still asking?"

"I'm not willing to give in."

"Probably not, otherwise why would she spend so much money on such a thing. She even gave up her son and niece, wasting 60 years of family efforts."

"Why didn't I realize that Song Qingqing was so cruel before? She didn't even give her own son a chance, even if it was her niece. I can't do it anyway. I have to try my best to fight for it. At most, I can spend more time disciplining him in the future. Don't you think so?"

Qian Batian glanced at Zhao Mingfei and said meaningfully, "Yes, as fathers, we must always try our best."

Then, the moment their eyes met, they reached some kind of agreement.

When Qian Batian returned home, he saw Qian Nanchen, who was dejected.

"Take back your desperate look. How did you know you couldn't do it before the last moment? Is this what I taught you since you were a child?"

"Dad, I'm useless. Don't hide it from me. I know I can't be cured. My spiritual root value is only 82 now, and it's still under control with medicine. There's no way I can become the next clan leader, wuwuwu..."

"As long as you find the Water Jade Lotus, you will definitely recover."

"Water lotus is hard to come by, and water jade lotus is even harder to come by. How could the elders agree to the clan working so hard for me? What if I'm still the unlucky one among the thousand after I find it? Others can use it without any problems, but why is it that I have to suffer? Dad, I won't accept this!"

"You don't need to worry about this. I can handle it myself. Don't say it's just a one in a thousand chance of bad luck. Even if it's a one in a thousand chance, I have to try."

The elders of the Qian family learned about Qian Nanchen's situation. After comforting Qian Batian for a while, they got to the point and asked Qian Batian to choose a capable and talented person to train again.

"I plan to go out to sea to look for Bai Yulian. If something goes wrong, will it chill the hearts of the disciples in the clan? The Zhao family didn't say anything. Do we want outsiders to think that my Qian family is cold-blooded and inferior to the Zhao family?

I will go out to sea, and if I can't find it, then I have nothing to say, I will just do what I have to do."

On the other side, Zhao Mingfei also used this as an excuse and dragged his feet, saying that the Qian family did not say anything and he could not let outsiders look down on his Zhao family, thus temporarily preserving Zhao Minrou's identity.

Song Qingqing gave the water lotus to Song Jingyou and Song Jingchu to take, and then personally protected them.

The two of them were also very competitive. After taking the water lotus, their spiritual root values ​​successfully reached the maximum value.

The five elders of the Song family also took water lotus in two groups, but because they were too old, only 5% of the effect of the water lotus was exerted.

After taking the water lotus, Song Qingqing spread the news that Song Jingyou and Song Jingchu had taken the water lotus forest to the maximum level.

Song Qingqing not only created momentum for Song Jingyou and Song Jingchu and raised their status, but also sent a big gift to the Zhao and Qian families in order to lure them into a trap.

Qian Batian and Zhao Mingfei waited for three days after receiving the news, but there was no news that there was any problem with Song Jingyou and Song Jingchu's spiritual roots.

They were both very angry, "How come those two are so lucky? Nothing happened to them at all."
