Chapter 526: Chapter 320: Chen Family’s Chief! The Ancestor’s Strategy (Three-in-One, Seeking Follows)
“Jiang Ye, come up!”
With the words of Chen Jiuxuan falling, the entire banquet hall fell silent.
All eyes naturally turned in the direction of Jiang Ye.
“Why did they suddenly mention Jiang Ye?”
“Could it be?” Many powerhouses showed a look of surprise.
Could the significant matter the Chen Family Ancestor mentioned be related to Jiang Ye?
This made all the Chen Family Elders present unable to sit still, eagerly awaiting the Ancestor’s next statements.
At the same time,
Jiang Ye was also a bit puzzled.
“Why is the Ancestor looking for me?” He glanced at Chen Zilu beside him.
“Not sure.” Chen Zilu also shook her head and whispered, “The Ancestor must have his reasons, you should go up quickly.”
“Alright.”
Jiang Ye hesitated no more, rose from his seat, and strode towards the high platform.
On the high platform.
“Senior.” Jiang Ye walked up to Chen Jiuxuan and slightly cupped his hands.
“Jiang Ye.”
“No need to be nervous.” Chen Jiuxuan smiled and said, “I called you up to ask for your opinion.”
“Please go ahead, Senior,” Jiang Ye said, puzzled.
“Would you be willing to serve as the Outsider Chief of my Chen Family?” Chen Jiuxuan solemnly asked, “If you agree, then you shall be the chief genius among the younger generation of our Chen Family!”
The words fell, and the entire room fell silent.
The next moment, everyone erupted in an uproar.
“Outsider Chief?”
“The Chen Family Ancestor wants Jiang Ye to serve as the Outsider Chief??”
“Are you kidding me?” Powerhouses from various major forces were all shocked.
The title of Outsider Chief, despite the prefix ’Outsider’, carries an authority no less than that of a family heir.
If it were only an ordinary family’s Outsider Chief, it might not have been such a big deal.
But an Extraordinary Family? The significance is vastly different.
The Outsider Chief of an Extraordinary Family.
It implies not only being the strongest of the same rank but also the potential to reach the Peak of Nine Breaks, or even Demigod status in the future!
Therefore,
The power of the Outsider Chief is considerable.
In some respects, it may not be any less than that of a family heir!
But… Chen Jiuxuan choosing Jiang Ye left many powerhouses speechless with surprise.
“The Ancestor wants Jiang Ye as the Chief?”
“This position should be occupied by someone with Extraordinary Talent instead.”
“Has the Ancestor lost his mind?” The Chen Family Elders present could no longer remain seated.
The position of Outsider Chief not only relates to the Chen Family’s reputation but also to its future.
In the past, many believed this position was reserved for talents like Zhou Xingkong.
But now?
Why choose Jiang Ye?
“Ancestor, the position of Outsider Chief is too important, please reconsider!” Chen Fang couldn’t help but say.
“Chen Fang, shut up!” An elder reprimanded in a low voice, exuding a terrifying pressure.
No matter what they thought in their hearts,
The Ancestor must have his own reasons for doing this.
It’s not up to them to intervene.
Though they were Chen Family Elders, seemingly of high stature, to the Chen Family Ancestor, they were juniors several generations younger.
The Ancestor’s decision was not theirs to refute.
“I was impulsive.” Chen Fang realized, covering his mouth immediately with a look of panic.
…
On the stage.
Jiang Ye was also extremely shocked.
Although he didn’t fully understand the significance of the Outsider Chief, seeing the reactions of the many powerhouses below, this position was evidently held in high regard.
“Senior.”
“Is there anything I should be aware of in undertaking the role of Outsider Chief?” Jiang Ye asked seriously.
“By becoming the Outsider Chief of my Chen Family,” Chen Jiuxuan succinctly said, “from now on, you are a member of my Chen Family.”
He didn’t say much more.
But Jiang Ye understood in an instant; this was paving the way for him.
No need to hesitate.
“I am willing!” Jiang Ye immediately said solemnly.
“Good.”
“From now on, Jiang Ye is the sole Outsider Chief of my Chen Family!” Chen Jiuxuan looked at the many powerhouses below and proclaimed loudly, “Anyone who targets Jiang Ye is an enemy of the Chen Family, and an enemy of me!”
The words fell.
“Wow~” The entire banquet hall buzzed again.
The way many powerhouses looked at Jiang Ye changed.
Targeting Jiang Ye means opposing Chen Jiuxuan?
The words of the Chen Family Ancestor have firmly placed Jiang Ye within the Chen Family’s camp… Such a statement is even more explosive than being the Outsider Chief.
“The Chen Family Ancestor holds Jiang Ye in such high regard?”
“Why?”
“Is this boy so special?” Many powerhouses present wore varying expressions.
Due to Chen Jiuxuan’s presence, no one used telekinesis to investigate Jiang Ye.
But at this moment, everyone was closely watching Jiang Ye, eager to uncover the secrets he held.
…
From the Zhou Family’s side.
“Outsider Chief?” Zhou Xingkong’s expression darkened, becoming exceedingly colorful in an instant.
The words of Chen Jiuxuan had finalized the Chen Family’s stance.
There was no longer any possibility between Zhou Xingkong and Chen Zilu!
“The Chen Family, such a Chen Family.” Zhou Xingkong’s face was exceptionally cold.
It wasn’t as if he didn’t understand.
The words of Chen Jiuxuan just now, in a sense, were also a warning to him.
After all, there was still a scheduled battle between him and Jiang Ye.
“Jiang Ye.”
“Truly fortunate.” Zhou Xingkong looked in Jiang Ye’s direction, his gaze shadowy.
He didn’t know why Chen Jiuxuan would be so biased towards Jiang Ye.
But since the Chen Family Ancestor had spoken, it meant… as long as Chen Jiuxuan was around, he couldn’t touch Jiang Ye.
…
“Interesting.”
“To have the Chen Family Ancestor personally step in for protection.” Li Zihuang also looked in Jiang Ye’s direction, a strange gleam flickering in her beautiful eyes.
Initially, she thought Jiang Ye was merely a pawn in the hands of an Extraordinary Family.
But now it seemed she was completely wrong.
Judging by Chen Jiuxuan’s attitude towards Jiang Ye, it was far from the simple scenario she had imagined.
“This guy.”
“What secret does he hold?” Li Zihuang mused, “To make the Chen Family Ancestor willing to offend the Zhou Family just to side with him.”
