139: A loving father and a filial daughter

The members of the Liang Family on both sides of the mahogany long table also turned their gazes to Liang Jingsi, clearly seeking an answer.

And why Liang Jingsi suddenly had such an idea.

Liang Jingsi gracefully stood up from her seat, her expression composed.

“Since becoming the patriarch, Father has indeed made no major mistakes, but compared to a stable patriarch, the current Liang Family needs a patriarch who is more capable of pioneering and making progress.

If I become the patriarch, our Liang Family will not only be able to firmly establish itself in Liuguang City, but also expand our industries to other cities.”

After hearing Liang Jingsi’s confident words, Liang Qiu burst into laughter, as if he had heard a hilarious joke.

“Hahaha, you greenhorn, you have no idea how deep the waters are in a mid-tier city. Do you really think that just because you were in charge of one auction, you can control the fate and prosperity of the Liang Family?”

Although Liang Qiu’s words were directed at Liang Jingsi, his eyes couldn’t help but secretly glance at his father, the previous patriarch of the Liang Family, Liang Lin.

In his opinion, Liang Jingsi was just a greenhorn with no threat whatsoever, but his father, who was sitting in the main seat, should not be underestimated.

If he wanted to reclaim the position of patriarch, then he naturally had no chance of winning, but if he supported Liang Jingsi, then the situation would become precarious.

Although Liang Jingsi’s words were grand and eloquent, to the old foxes of the Liang Family, they were just something to listen to. If they had to choose, they would never choose Liang Jingsi, who had only managed family affairs for a few years.

Uh, how to put it? Her prestige was still insufficient.

“Girl, mere grand talk won’t move them. Show them your Beast.”

Liang Jingsi had never expected to move these people with words alone. She smiled slightly, and above the mahogany long table, two Beasts, one purple and one white, appeared.

“Please, Uncle He, observe the information of these two Beasts carefully.”

The Purple Sky Goddess Butterfly, scattering a trail of purple illusory light, slowly flew to the side of the first middle-aged man on Liang Qiu’s left, as if to facilitate his close observation.

Liang He, a King Rank Three Stars Beast Master and a Bright Moon One Star Breeder, was also the strongest Breeder in the Liang Family at present.

In some aspects, his status could even be on par with the patriarch.

Liang He gently nodded to Liang Jingsi, then used his talent to look at the Purple Sky Goddess Butterfly’s information.

However, although the information on this butterfly was not very long, it made him more and more alarmed as he read it, eventually causing him to stand up from his seat, no longer able to maintain the calm expression he had held since the beginning of the meeting.

He kept muttering, “Precognition, Pseudo-Heaven Grade.”

The other members of the Liang Family had never seen Liang He so flustered before, and they immediately developed a strong curiosity about the two Beasts Liang Jingsi had summoned.

Sensing the intense gaze of curiosity from the others, Liang He took a deep breath, then reconfirmed that he had not misread the Beast’s information.

His mental power connected to a device on the mahogany long table, and then a small screen rose in front of each Liang Family member’s seat.

Strings of characters appeared on the screen. The content was precisely the information about the Purple Sky Goddess Butterfly that Liang He had just seen.

Silence. The crowd, seeing the information, fell into a strange, tacit silence.

Even Liang Qiu, who had been full of confidence, fell into a temporary daze after reading the information.

After a moment, Liang Qiu suddenly came back to his senses.

“Brother He, did you make a mistake?”

Liang He looked at Liang Qiu, shook his head, and gave a wry smile, “I’ve already confirmed it. There’s no mistake.”

“Uncle He, there’s still one more that hasn’t been checked yet?”

Liang Jingsi pointed to the White Jade Spider Mother, giving Liang He a ‘warm reminder’.

Liang He secretly glanced at Liang Qiu, then let out an almost inaudible sigh, before looking at the White Jade Spider Mother.

Then, he transmitted the information he saw to everyone’s small screens.

Again, it possessed a ‘perverted’ Skill. If a Breeder had such a Beast, it would definitely be an extraordinary aid when researching new Evolution Paths for Beasts.

Liang He looked at the White Jade Spider Mother, a hint of longing in his eyes. This was absolutely the dream Beast of all Breeders.

“Father has been in office for over sixty years, enjoying the family’s top resources, yet he is still only at the King Rank Four Stars realm. Such strength makes it too difficult to lead the Liang Family back to glory.”

“And I, Liang Jingsi, am thirty years old this year, a King Rank One Star Beast Master, and possess these two special Beasts. It won’t take long for me to surpass the current patriarch.”

“Furthermore, as long as I ascend to the position of patriarch, you all will no longer have to worry about the items for the next Qingyun Rare Item Auction.”

“Because I have already made an agreement with the owner of Chenyang Pet Store, he will place some of his Beasts for sale at our Qingyun Rare Goods Auction House.”

“How to choose, I believe you all will make the wisest decision in your hearts.”

After the interlude with the two Beasts, those with real power in the Liang Family had already begun to waver, and Liang Jingsi had also put forward such a condition.

Having all come from Qingyang City, how could they not know that products from Chenyang Pet Store were alwaysboutique? The previous auction’s complete success was due to the Beasts provided by Chenyang Pet Store.

Because the last cooperation was only a one-time thing, they had been scrambling for items for the next auction during this period. However, there were simply too few things that met the standards, and they had only found a handful so far.

If Chenyang Pet Store agreed to continue cooperation, then the Qingyun Rare Goods Auction House, the pillar industry of their Liang Family, would not be a fleeting success in Liuguang City.

Moreover, Liang Jingsi now possessed such two powerful Beasts. What choice to make, how could they not be clear now?

“Let’s start voting now. I cast my vote for Si’er.”

“Father, you…” Liang Qiu looked at his father in disbelief.

“Xiao Qiu, all matters must prioritize the family,” Liang Lin said earnestly.

Liang Lin had been at King Rank Nine Stars for too long, and his lifespan was nearing its end. Liang Jingsi’s Purple Sky Goddess Butterfly gave him a glimmer of hope.

The hope of breaking through to Wild Rank. Moreover, if he waited a little longer, perhaps the store owner who supported Liang Jingsi, with more growth, would be able to breed Wild Beasts. He was now unwilling to give up any sliver of hope.

Starting from the main seat, the deliberating members of the Liang Family began their usual voting.

“I vote for Miss Liang.”

“Miss Liang.”

“Patriarch Liang.”

...

Under Liang Lin’s gaze, sweeping across the entire hall, with the prestige of the old patriarch, even the deliberating members who had been secretly bribed by Liang Qiu had no choice but to cast their votes for Liang Jingsi.

By the time the last person had voted, Liang Qiu’s face was ashen.

14:6

Liang Jingsi won completely.

“Alright, the position of patriarch will be handed over to Si’er from now on. You two should complete the handover as soon as possible, let’s finish it today.”

After the voting was completed, Liang Lin announced the final result, then left the council hall without looking back after leaving a single sentence.

Liang Qiu stood up from his seat with a gloomy expression, and said to Liang Jingsi with a forced smile: “Good daughter, let’s go and carry out the transfer of power. What I will do afterward, I will still have to rely on my good daughter.”

Liang Jingsi seemed not to have heard Liang Qiu’s hidden sarcasm, and smiled sweetly:

“Daughter will not arrange overly complex work for Father; she will definitely let Father have more leisure time.”
