Following Helian Wei Wei’s last sentence, Helian Guang Yao’s normally proud face expressed never-before-seen anxiety and insecurity.

Su Yan Mo panicked as well, rus.h.i.+ng over to Helian Guang Yao as if to ask him what they had to do now.

Helian Wei Wei watched the two in front of her. Once upon a time, she too had been kicked out of the Clan just like that.

She was forced to leave and forced to give up everything she had. Additionally, she had been left with all the pain, hatred and regret her mother left her just before she died. All of this had contributed to the cold gleam that arose in Helian Wei Wei’s eyes.

“Steward Zhang, did you turn mute? Do you not know how to announce the results?”

The pressurized aura that Helian Wei Wei exerted when she was displeased was on par with that of Baili Jia Jue’s.

Steward Zhang trembled in fear as he stuttered, “I declare…”

“Wait!” Helian Guang Yao interrupted Steward Zhang as he spoke coldly, “Originally, I didn’t want to announce this matter so quickly, but do you stewards remember how the Old Master said before his death, that if anyone were to win over the hidden army’s support, a single vote from them would be equivalent to ten votes?”

The stewards did not speak, because as soon as they heard the mention of the hidden army, they could only inhale sharply.

Everyone present knew that the hidden army had already vanished for 10 years.

For a decade, they had tried every method conceivable to locate the hidden army but to no avail.

Even if there was news about them from time to time, the information would usually turn out to be useless.

From the beginning itself, the hidden army had only followed the Old Master and only him alone!

“Guang Yao, you…you mentioned the hidden army, is it…is it because you know where they are?” One of the stewards stood up excitedly as he could not control his emotions.

Helian Guang Yao lifted up his chin, revealing a hint of a smile. “Of course, truth to be told, I’ve been exchanging letters with the current general of the hidden army these past few days. He’s in attendance at this meeting as well, among the audience below.”

“Really?!” The rest of the stewards began whispering to one another.

Helian Guang Yao laughed once again, “I have no reason to lie to any of you. For the greater development of the Helian Clan, finding the hidden army was crucial. So all this time, I’ve been working hard to locate the hidden army, but it seems like someone took advantage of me being preoccupied.”

Everyone knew who that someone was.

The stewards glanced hesitantly toward Helian Wei Wei and lowered their voices, “Princess Consort, according to the Old Master’s instructions before he died, the hidden army is indeed more important, so this… the patriarch’s seat, how about you just…”

“The hidden army isn’t even here yet, and here you are, Steward Xu, asking me to give up so soon?” Helian Wei Wei chuckled as she leaned back and crossed her legs, unable to contain her playful att.i.tude. She then said flatly, “Let’s wait till Helian Guang Yao requests for the hidden army soldier to appear before we do anything, shall we?”

Su Yan Mo sneered. This little b*tch just would not give up!

Without wasting any more of his breath, Helian Guang Yao shouted toward the crowd, “General Chi, are you there?”

“Yes.”

Among the crowd, Chi Yan stood there, clothed in full black and emerged slowly from the crowd.

Perhaps, his appearance was just too charming.

Just as he revealed himself, all the girls present could not help but look at him almost instantly.

They gazed at his calm, collected and gallant aura.

There was only one phrase that came to mind.

A peerless man would be none other than him.

Upon seeing Chi Yan’s face, there were older stewards who recalled something, “You… you’re the Retired Emperor’s… Master… Master Chi!”

Master Chi, the only heir of the Chi family.

Untouched by royal blessing, refusal of imperial powers.

It had been thought that the Chi family had hidden away in reclusion. It was surprising to see that he had become the general of the hidden army.

The steward only felt confused, but then again, this was probably how it should be.

The Old Master had once saved Chi Yan’s life and this boy was most probably paying his debts.

With such a person as the hidden army’s general, it was highly likely that the hidden army currently had become more powerful than it was before.

Upon this realization, the stewards could not control their excitement.

Yet, not one of them noticed that Helian Wei Wei had not been fazed at all since the beginning of this commotion, her lazy, laid back position had not changed this whole time.

Behind Chi Yan was another two commanders. When one of them saw Helian Wei Wei, he almost greeted her by virtue of habit.

The other one quickly grabbed him and scolded softly, “Da Xiong.”

Chi Yan knew what had happened without even looking. It had to be the thoughtless Da Xiong who must have lost his cool again once he saw Helian Wei Wei.

Chi Yan seemed helpless at the situation and merely frowned, but no other feelings were expressed.

Helian Guang Yao hurriedly greeted them with a smile although he wondered why there were three people. In his letter, he clearly wrote that only General Chi Yan’s attendance was necessary.

Even so, Helian Guang Yao was very pleased to see the others from the hidden army. With this, he would be the rightful heir and that little b*tch could not do anything about it!

With that idea in mind, Helian Guang Yao could not help but express his glee as he looked at Helian Wei Wei with an expression that screamed, “Hand over the seat to me instantly,” he spoke coldly. “You should be convinced of your loss by now.”

“Convinced?” Helian Wei Wei uncrossed and crossed her legs again, her smile unwavering. “I forgot to mention, I prepared a grand gift for you and Madam Su for the Clan Meeting. I’ll show you now, this part of the gift should be just right for you.” With that, she signaled one of the guards beside her with her eyes.

The guard hastily handed a letter to her.

Helian Wei Wei took the letter and glanced through the content before pointing at it with her slim finger and laughed at it. “The handwriting seems nice, but the content is simply too tedious. The reader would only think of the writer as being overly fake, and would simply just reply in a few sentences for the sake of it. Ho ho, come, show these letters to Mr. Guang Yao.”

Helian Wei Wei left her words hanging in the air as the guard handed over the letters to Helian Guang Yao.

Initially, Helian Guang Yao intended to throw it away immediately, but the handwriting on the letter was unbelievably familiar!

This… this was his own writing!

What the h.e.l.l was going on!

Helian Guang Yao s.n.a.t.c.hed over the letters and went through them roughly as his dark eyes began flitting aggressively.

These were…

These were the letters he wrote to the hidden army?!

How did she get ahold of them?

Helian Guang Yao looked up suddenly, staring intently at Helian Wei Wei.

Helian Wei Wei simply smiled, not even bothering to look at him. Instead, she curled her finger toward Chi Yan who stood a distance away, motioning for him to come forward as she said lazily, “Come here…”
