The Li family in Saint Maiden City is a famous big family in Saint Maiden City. The Li family has become the guardians of the city for two generations, and has been combined for thousands of years. It can be said that putting aside those saints who do not care about secular life, the Li family is definitely one of the big families in Saint Maiden City.
Now Li Mao, the head of the Li family, has fallen in the Nanzui, and this has not happened for many years. The last time a person of the Full Moon Saint level fell was more than two hundred years ago. In the eyes of ordinary people, the guardian was at least a level of the Full Moon Saint, so naturally it is a big event for the Saint City.
On the day Li Mao's body was transported back, hundreds of people from the Li family were transported to mourning clothes and mourning, and his body was transported back to the family's house and placed in the mourning hall.
On the day of the festival, the gate of the Li family was open, and countless well-known figures in the Saint Maiden City came.
In the Li family, Li Mao's wife and children knelt in front of the coffin, crying a little numb. As the Li family, Li Yue, who is currently the highest-ranking senior, welcomes guests from all walks of life with his son Li Yong as if he is the master of this place. Li Wei, who was originally Li Mao's younger brother, was ignored.
According to the rules, the body will be placed in a place where the moonlight shines at night and then cremated under the moon. Generally, those with status will be allowed to bathe the ashes for three nights of moonlight, and then put them away to the Moon Temple for worship.
As the sun sets, most of the guests who were watching the gifts have arrived. In the Li family's yard, the moon bed for cremation was already set up. This moon bed was actually made of bamboo, and the shape is similar to the crescent moon. After dark, the people of the Li family moved Li Mao's body to the bamboo bed and then waited for the moon to be cremated when the moon was bright and the sky was in full bloom.
The funeral was going step by step. As time went by, the moon was already hanging high in the air. It was almost time to cremate, but at this moment, Li Wei suddenly shouted at Li Yue who was holding the torch: "Uncle Fourth, what are you doing?"
When Li Yue heard Li Wei's yell, he said for granted: "Of course I'm seeing my nephew off!"
"Of course I understand this. Uncle Fourth, although you have the highest seniority, it seems that this person is not the turn of Uncle Fourth, right?" Li Wei looked at the other party as the master for a long time today, and couldn't help but question it.
"You are right, Chun'er, come!" When Li Yue heard this, he not only did not deny it, but nodded to his son behind him and stuffed the torch directly into his hand.
"My grandfather left and ordered my elder brother to see him off. Now my elder brother has left, but he has not designated Li Wang to see him off!" Li Wei saw him and came out to stop him again, even blocking Li Wang's way to Yue Brush.
Seeing Li Wei do this, Li Yue couldn't help but say angrily: "Li Wei, what do you mean? Do you think your elder brother is gone, and you should be here to see him off?"
"Yes, Li Wei, although you are the younger brother of the head of the family, let alone the Fourth Brother will not agree with you to take the seat, nor will I agree with you!" At this time, Uncle Li Wei and Li Can also speak, and he was standing on Li Yue's side in front of him.
Seeing the dispute between the two sides and the people who came to see the gifts and bid farewell began to discuss. Some people knew the situation and told others that this igniting person was a rule set by the first head of the Li family when the Li family passed away. Only the designated next head of the family is qualified to bid farewell to the previous head.
After learning about this, many people also understood that this was the Li family that started a competition among the family before Li Mao left.
At this moment, facing Li Yue's questioning and Li Can's statement, Li Wei chuckled and said, "I know how much I, Li Wei, can't tell you, but before leaving, I didn't explain it. This is the will I leave because the elder brother is worried that he is accidental, so he left a will. Just in case, this is written by the elder brother with blood and cannot be faked. I think everyone here should know that the elder brother has decided that if he has an accident, Li Ying will take over the position of the head of the family!" Li Wei guarded, took out the suicide note from his arms, opened it directly to everyone to show it.
Everyone was shocked when they saw the suicide note. Li Can followed him out and pointed at the suicide note. The bright red words on it immediately emitted a faint light.
"It's true, it's true!" Seeing this scene, many people immediately exclaimed.
At this time, Li Wei put away his suicide note and said, "Now everyone has seen it. My elder brother has decided to pass the position of the head of the family to Yingying. From now on, Li Ying will be the head of our Li family."
"Li Wei, although this suicide note is true, Li Ying is a woman after all. Is it inappropriate for her to succeed as the head of the family? Moreover, the Li family is not your eldest brother's Li family. It is a bit hasty to determine the head of the family based on just one will!" At this time, Li Wei's sixth uncle Li Zhang stood up. Obviously, he was more willing to stand on Li Ying's side than Lao Qi.
"My elder brother was the next head of the family appointed by my grandfather, why do you disagree with the main head of the family, my elder brother, who mainly appointed the next head of the family?" Li Wei asked.
Li Zhang shook his head in the face of this question, "Li Wei, your elder brother was the most outstanding among the descendants of our Li family. None of his father or sons were particularly outstanding, so we were convinced by the elder brother and we have always respected your elder brother over the years. But now the Li family wants to say the best is obviously Li Ying's nephew. Although Yingying has achieved some success in alchemy, she still lacks some in order to lead the family. The continued prosperity of the family must be the most powerful and suitable person, which is reasonable!"
Li Zhang's words made a lot of sense. The people from the Li family nodded one after another, especially when it was mostly unwilling to let a woman like Li Ying inherit the position of the head of the family.
"The Sixth Brother's words make sense, and I agree with the Sixth Brother's meaning!" Li Can also stood up to stand up for Li Huang at this time. In this way, the three major forces of the Li family stood together.
"Uncle Six and Uncle Seven, the eldest brother's body is not cold yet. You are going to snatch the squad and seize power. Don't you feel heartbroken?" Li Wei said coldly when he saw this scene.
"Li Wei, what are you saying? We are trying to seize power and let Li Ying's nephew take over as the head of the family because it is more appropriate and do we support him more? As for Yingying, we still respect her and can become the elders of the Li family in the future!" Li Zhang said with confidence.
"Uncle Six, you said lightly, but in fact you are bullying others with your power. Li Wang, do you think you are qualified to succeed the head of the family?" Li Wei pointed directly at Li Wang and asked.
"Now that the Li family has changed, I am the person with the highest cultivation level in the Li family, so I will definitely not take it!" Li Ying also stood up at this time. Obviously, the head of the family was planning to be decided.
