Ye Ling was celebrating his successful completion of the first phase of the assessment, but not everyone was in such high spirits.
That person, naturally, was Liu Wu.
Among all the second-tier families in Skyshine City, Liu Wu of the Liu Family was the only one who failed to pass the first phase of the assessment.
It could be said that Liu Wu had brought disgrace to the entire Liu Family.
Because of this, Liu Wu was now kneeling in the main hall of the Liu Family.
Surrounding him were several elders of the Liu Family, all of whom held significant power.
Sitting in the central seat was none other than Liu Wu’s father, the head of the Liu Family, Liu Yun.
At this moment, Liu Yun looked at Liu Wu kneeling in the center of the hall, his heart filled with rage.
He had repeatedly warned Liu Wu to find a way to pass the first phase of the assessment.
As long as he could enter the second phase, with Liu Wu’s Venomous Scale Python, it wasn’t impossible for him to get into a top Spirit Tamer Academy.
If he could get into an advanced or even top Spirit Tamer Academy, Liu Wu would be fully qualified to be groomed as the family heir.
But now, everything had turned to dust.
Liu Yun had only one son in his lifetime. The fact that his son couldn’t inherit the family was a massive blow to him.
Thinking of this, Liu Yun wished he could send Liu Wu back to the womb to be remade.
Liu Wu’s lack of talent had already cost Liu Yun a great deal of resources and effort, but now, Liu Wu had given him such an answer.
“Family Head, you should give us an explanation for this matter. Now that Liu Wu can’t enter the Spirit Tamer Academy, he can no longer hold the position of Young Master.”
“That’s right, Family Head. Regardless of the process, the result is that Liu Wu has lost the qualification to inherit the family. This is undeniable.”
“Exactly, Liu Wu must now relinquish the position of Young Master to a more talented member of the Liu Family’s younger generation.”
“Family Head, there’s no need to hesitate any longer. The matter has come to this point. Please execute the decision. You wouldn’t hand the entire family over to a failure just because he’s your son, would you?”
…
Facing the pressure from the family elders, Liu Wu, who was kneeling in the center of the hall, looked as pale as a sheet.
At this moment, he had no right to speak.
As a failure, he didn’t even have the qualification to say anything in such a setting.
He looked up at his father, who exuded authority without anger, and Liu Wu’s heart was pounding.
He didn’t know what his future would hold.
He had no strength to argue. Whatever Liu Yun decided, even if he wanted to seek help from his father, it would be meaningless.
Although Liu Yun was Liu Wu’s father, he was more importantly the head of the Liu Family.
All his decisions were made for the future of the family.
This time, Liu Yun had lost face completely.
Clenching the armrest of his chair tightly, Liu Yun wished he could drag Liu Wu out and give him a severe beating.
How could he have such a disappointing son? It was utterly disgraceful, beyond words.
In that brief moment when Liu Wu had looked up, he saw his father’s furious expression.
In a panic, Liu Wu quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at his father again.
Seeing the noisy and chaotic scene in the hall, Liu Yun raised his hand to calm everyone down.
“Alright, elders, please quiet down.”
No matter what, these people were family members and held significant positions as elders.
Even as the head of the family, Liu Yun had to give these elders some face.
He couldn’t rely solely on himself; these family elders were also his support.
“Regarding Liu Wu’s participation in the Spirit Tamer Academy assessment, I have made my decision.
From today onwards, Liu Wu will no longer be the Young Master of the Liu Family. Starting tomorrow, we will select a new Young Master from the youngest direct bloodline who is recognized by everyone.
As for Liu Wu, no matter what, he is still my son. I hope the elders will show some leniency for my sake.”
This situation couldn’t be resolved by merely changing the position of Young Master.
Liu Wu should face more severe punishment, but Liu Yun had stepped forward to protect Liu Wu.
The elders hadn’t expected Liu Wu to pay a higher price, as it was unrealistic.
No matter what, Liu Yun was still the head of the family. They didn’t want to escalate the matter further, which could lead to uncontrollable consequences.
These family elders didn’t want to see the family they maintained face any issues.
Therefore, they had to accept this decision.
“Since the Family Head has said so, let’s leave it at that.”
An elder with white hair, sitting to Liu Yun’s left, spoke slowly with his eyes closed.
This elder, with his white hair, was the most senior among the elders.
Since he had spoken, no one could refute.
