Wei Ruhan has three sons.

The eldest son, Wei Qifeng, tragically died many years ago by the Heng River.

The second son, Wei Qixiong, went to the Ten Thousand Mile Ice Field twenty-four years ago to practice the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Plate, but never returned.

The third son was born mentally deficient and was not of much use; he choked to death on an egg.

It was because of this that Wei Ruhan had no successors.

If it weren't for Wei Qifeng leaving behind a posthumous child, the current Wei Ziyi, the Wei Family lineage would have ended.

Because of the tragic fates of these three sons, Wei Ruhan, when Wei Ziyi was still young, asked Su Tianyang for help to introduce her to Lengyue Palace, becoming a disciple of Third Palace Master Leng Yu, Feixing, Jianyun, Jiu Ying.

On one hand, to learn the Absolute Skill of Lengyue Palace, and on the other hand, for the palace to protect his little granddaughter.

Once she became skilled, she would join the Luofeng Alliance to undertake important tasks.

This meticulous plan was rooted in the fact that he had no sons.

Who would have thought that today, at this very moment, Wei Qixiong, who disappeared twenty-four years ago, would suddenly reappear.

Though he hasn't been seen for over twenty years, his appearance hasn't changed much.

So much so that many people immediately recognized this second son on the spot.

Everyone was shocked and speechless for a while.

Huang Yuan murmured:

"Second Master... it really is Second Master... Master, is Second Master still alive!?"

He turned to look at Wei Ruhan.

But found no joy on Wei Ruhan's face at seeing his son, but instead, his brow was deeply furrowed, and his expression became increasingly grave.

This left Huang Yuan momentarily puzzled.

He watched as Wei Qixiong's gaze swept across everyone present, only then did he lightly exhale:

"That's right, I am Wei Qixiong.

"Today, with the Luofeng Alliance striving for the position of Alliance Leader, as the son of Wei Ruhan, I dare to ask everyone, am I qualified to participate in this competition?"

Upon hearing these words, everyone present frowned.

In principle, he actually wasn't qualified.

Though he is the son of Wei Ruhan, he is ultimately not the leader of the Luofeng Alliance.

The position of Alliance Leader must be chosen from among the seven main leaders.

Now he suddenly appears, wanting to seize the position of Alliance Leader, which goes against reason.

However, with such a demeanor, he perhaps never intended to argue reasonably with everyone.

Moreover, he is indeed the son of Wei Ruhan.

Whether Wei Ruhan would let Wei Ziyi give up the position of the Eighth Alliance Leader to this second son is anyone's guess.

Everyone contemplated internally, some couldn't help but secretly observe Wei Ruhan, while others looked at Wei Ziyi.

The expressions of the two weren't particularly pleasant.

This caused a slight pause, connecting with the intense entrance of Wei Qixiong, further masked, directly charging at Wei Ruhan...

This situation is probably far from simple as they imagined.

Could there be unresolved issues between Wei Ruhan and this second son?

They wanted to see how Wei Ruhan would respond.

But unexpectedly, before Wei Ruhan could speak, Zeng Youwang suddenly stepped forward:

"Second Master! Is it really Second Master?"

His face was filled with excitement, eyes reddened, nearly shedding tears, kneeling with a thud:

"It truly is Second Master!

"I thought... I thought Second Master had already...

"To witness the Second Master again in this lifetime, heavens be kind, is a blessing to me.

"It's truly wonderful, truly wonderful!"

As he spoke, tears streamed down his face, crying heart-wrenchingly.

Wei Qixiong glanced at him twice, sighed, and extended a hand to help him up:

"Alliance Leader Zeng, it's indeed been a long time."

"It has."

Zeng Youwang said: "Since Second Master traveled north alone, it's been over twenty years... what have you experienced in that time?"

"We'll discuss it later."

Wei Qixiong said in a deep voice: "I am here today for nothing else but to contend for the position of Alliance Leader. Alliance Leader Zeng, will you support me?"

"Naturally, I will support you!"

Zeng Youwang immediately nodded, looking around, slightly shaking his head:

"Frankly, everyone, my reason for contending for the position of Alliance Leader is not for any other reason, but to prevent a mere young woman from occupying this position!

"The current Alliance Leader is old, and not as thoughtful as in previous years.

"Wei Ziyi is young and inexperienced, and a woman at that.

"How could she qualify to be our Luofeng Alliance's Alliance Leader?

"If we let a mere young woman lord over us, how could we travel the Jianghu with the face to claim we're from the Luofeng Alliance?

"As for Wu Daoyou...

"Egotistical and fond of grandstanding.

"Just for going to Dongcheng, he dares to call it a 'territorial expansion' achievement.

"It is shameful and ridiculous, utterly senseless.

"This person has neither talent nor virtue, and is unfit for the Alliance Leader position.

"Therefore, I allied with Alliance Leader Xu today to disrupt Wu Daoyou's plans.

"I intended to force a deadlock and struggle to the end.

"Sadly, who would have thought, ultimately, our move fell short.

"It's especially unforeseen that City Lord Hua Qianyu would support Wei Ziyi.

"Nearly allowing this mere young woman to succeed.

"Now that Second Master returns, it truly gladdens my heart."

Upon reaching this point, he paused slightly and turned first to Chi Lu who was once again awake, looking around the hall in astonishment:

"Alliance Leader Chi, what you said earlier is indeed reasonable.
