When he heard this, Feng Huang couldn’t help revealing a confused look at first.

It was as if he couldn’t understand what the term “Void God’s successor” meant at first.

But then he revealed a look of understanding as if he suddenly remembered something…

Void God’s successor.

This was a term that he had heard before, but he couldn’t tell where at first. That is until he remembered exactly where he had heard this and what kind of meaning it had.

As one of the heads of the five Phoenix Race tribes, he did have information that others didn’t.

That included information on the prophecy left by the ancestor.

When he remembered everything, he finally understood why the Great Elder stood on the side of this envoy instead of backing him. He also understood that when it came to value, this Void God’s successor had much more value than he did.

So that was why the Great Elder didn’t hesitate to say that replacing him would be easy.

At the same time, he realized that even if it was the other two Great Elders, they would have acted the same way.

The intentions of this Great Elder were the intentions of the entire Phoenix Race…

There was no way for him to reverse this if this Void God’s successor wanted to remove him from his position…

The only thing that he could do now was hope that this Void God’s successor wouldn’t want to do anything like that.

It was just too bad for him that the next words out of his mouth were.

“Then can we change it so that Feng Tian is the new head of the Red Phoenix Tribe?”𝒐𝐯𝓁𝐞xt.𝗇𝓔t

The Great Elder slightly knitted his brows when he heard this, but in the end, he still gave a nod of affirmation.

While this would weaken the Red Phoenix Tribe a bit, it wasn’t a problem if the elders were willing to interfere a bit. For the Void God’s successor, he was certain that the elders wouldn’t mind interfering.

Not to mention, he could already see the tension the current Red Phoenix Tribe head had with his descendants. He could tell that if things were left as they currently were, it would eventually end up causing a problem with the Red Phoenix Tribe.

Especially seeing the new chasm that was developing between the new and old Red Phoenix Tribe heads.

When Feng Huang heard this, it felt like the ground was collapsing under him.

He did have intentions of giving the position as the Red Phoenix Tribe head to Feng Tian eventually, but that was after he had consolidated his own power so that he would be able to act as an advisor in the future. At the same time, he wanted to make sure that everything had been cleared out of the way for Feng Tian.

After all, there were people in the tribe that thought about taking over the position as the head from Feng Tian and they had to be taken care of before Feng Tian took over.

But they wouldn’t be a problem since the Great Elder had said that it was possible to replace Feng Tian with him. The elders agreed to let Feng Tian become the head, so of course they would take care of everything that needed to be taken care of.

The elders wouldn’t do a sloppy job of leaving behind a mess for Feng Tian to clean up on his own.

So the only problem that Feng Huang had was that his position was being forcefully taken away from him.

If that happened, there would no longer be a position for him in the Red Phoenix Tribe. At the same time, since it was the elders who were stripping him of his position, then he wouldn’t be able to become an elder either.

What would happen is that he would become an outcast of the Phoenix Race, without a place to go.

No one would drive him away since he was a Ruler Realm Expert, but with the elders suppressing him, he also wouldn’t be able to do anything. He might even be locked up by the elders since his cultivation could be considered a threat to the Phoenix Race.

If that happened, it would be the end of him.

So before that could happen, he had to figure out a way to preserve his position.

But while he was lost in thought, everything had already been decided.

The Great Elder sent one of the elite guards who were hiding in the vicinity off to take care of this with the other two Great Elders. So all that was left for them to do was take care of Feng Huang.

Either they locked him up, or they figured out another way to keep him contained.

The Great Elder looked at Lin Fan as if he was waiting for him to do something.

And indeed, Lin Fan already had a plan for Feng Huang.

He looked at Feng Huang and said, “Red Phoenix Tribe head…Ah, no, it’s ex Red Phoenix Tribe head now.”

When he said this, Feng Huang immediately snapped back from his thoughts and glared at him. But he didn’t say anything as he waited to see what Lin Fan had to say.

Lin Fan didn’t mind the glare that was pointed at him and calmly said, “Is there anything that you want to say to Feng Ling?”

When Feng Huang heard this, he couldn’t help revealing a confused and shocked look. He never expected that Lin Fan would suddenly ask him this question.

He narrowed his eyes to look at Lin Fan, but this time he didn’t glare at him as much as he did before. After a moment’s pause, he asked, “What do you mean by that?”

Lin Fan just calmly looked at him and said, “Now that you no longer need to worry about the Red Phoenix Tribe, isn’t there anything that you want to say to Feng Ling? Your daughter?”

He didn’t need to add the last part of that, but Lin Fan specifically emphasized that last part as if he was trying to imply something.

Feng Huang was still confused at first, but then he suddenly realized something.

He couldn’t help looking at Lin Fan with a strange look as he realized this.

Then he turned to look at Feng Ling, as if he was looking at her for the first time…

Feng Huang opened and closed his mouth a few times, but he didn’t say anything in the end. It was as if he couldn’t think of exactly what to say and he was struggling with forming words.

When Feng Ling saw Feng Huang acting like this, she also felt a strange feeling like she was meeting her father for the first time. It was a side of him that she had never seen before.

When Lin Fan saw the two of them acting like this, he couldn’t help shaking his head with a bitter smile on his face.

It seemed like both of them were really bad at expressing themselves, it wasn’t just Feng Huang alone…

The moment that he had heard what Feng Huang had to say to Feng Ling, he already knew what the problem was.

There was a lack of proper communication between father and daughter. There were many different reasons for this, but in the end, they didn’t talk to each other properly.

Because they put up these walls between them, they had never been able to reach an understanding with each other.

As for the main wall between them, it was their responsibility to the Red Phoenix Tribe.

So that was why Lin Fan decided that it was time for Feng Huang to retire.

If they no longer needed to care about the Red Phoenix Tribe, perhaps they could be more honest with their feelings. But that didn’t seem to be the case now.

They had become used to acting this way over the years and now that they had this chance, they didn’t know how to take it.

So Lin Fan said again with a sigh, “Just tell her how you really feel. That’s all that matters.”

Feng Ling couldn’t help looking at Lin Fan with a look that seemed like she thought that he was being too nosy, but then Feng Huang suddenly took a step forward, pulling her attention back.

She couldn’t help taking a step back when she saw Feng Huang suddenly moving forward like this.

But before she could say anything, Feng Huang suddenly asked, “Ling Ling, will you come back to the tribe? Your mother misses you.”

Feng Ling was about to say something, but then she couldn’t help being taken aback as she realized something. What her father had called her just now…Ling Ling, that was something that she hadn’t heard in a long time.

It was his pet name for her when she was a young girl and when she grew up, he had stopped using it.

For him to use it now, she couldn’t help feeling very strange. At the same time though, she also couldn’t help feeling emotional.

Still in the end, she said, “I can’t.”

Feng Huang couldn’t help revealing a sad look when he heard this.

But then before he could say anything, Feng Ling suddenly said, “I don’t blame you for what you did back then. You only did what you had to do. It was just fate that we would take different paths.”

Feng Huang couldn’t help looking up at Feng Ling suddenly as he asked, “Really?”

Feng Ling looked right into his eyes and after staring for a bit, she gave a sincere nod.

Feng Huang’s eyes trembled when he saw this.

For the first time, this father and daughter pair were actually making real progress.
