Everyone was perplexed, even Murong Chong. No one understood what tricks the old fox Huyan Yuncheng had up his sleeve, as he wasn't following their script at all. Murong Chong shot him a threatening glare, but Huyan Yuncheng remained completely unfazed.
At the same time, Ye Fan, who was seated next to Shangguan Qiuyue, gave a sly smile.
"The candidate I believe is most suitable is Shangguan Qiuyue of the Shangguan Family!" Huyan Yuncheng's declaration shocked the entire crowd.
They had considered he might choose someone else, but they never imagined he would pick Shangguan Qiuyue. While the Shangguan Family wasn't weak, they couldn't compete with the Jiang and Murong Families. The choice was baffling; even if he nominated her, she wouldn't succeed. Why was he being so stubborn? This seemed completely out of character for such a wise man.
"Oh?" Murong Chong and Jiang Changhai both looked toward Huyan Yuncheng. This outcome was completely unexpected.
