19 Becoming the Patriarch
I woke up at 4 today because I was neglecting my training.
I started evading the throwing weapons while closing my eyes with a cloth. I had made a trap type place where if I enter, I will be targeted by many projectiles.
I did this because I wanted it to become my instinct in evading any ambush and it also improved my senses and prediction skills.
I trained this for 3 hours while wearing my gravity inscriptions. It was better than wearing weights and I was only at 5 times gravity right now.
I started to cultivate my soul realm after that as it was close to having a breakthrough.
As I trained I felt my soul vibrating and I was sure that it is time to breakthrough, so I used my full concentration in it and after 15 minutes my soul rumbled and it seemed cyan color in my inner consciousness.
I was happy that it only took me about 7 months to breakthrough to cyan realm, now I will try to breakthrough to Azure Soul Realm and from what I think it will take about 11 or 12 months to accomplish this.
After that I started to train my weapons. And trained in it for 2 hours.
I started to play a flute because it relaxed my mind. I had taken a liking to it in this world and learned it in my spare time.
After that I took a bath and started to prepare lunch for two people. It was ready in 30 minutes.
Today I took it myself and go towards Shen Xiu room, I knocked on her door lightly and after that I entered even if she didn't gave any answer.
I came into her room and it was decorated in a girl's style of room. She was not here so I go towards her garden. She liked to spend her time there.
I go into her garden and saw her sitting on a chair next to table, while playing with a flower and lost in thought.
I put the lunch on the table and go behind her said in her ear "What are you thinking my beautiful aunt?" I also licked ear slightly while saying this.
"Ahhh..." She was startled and jumped from the chair and looked towards me, her face became red while she touched her ear.
After some moments she said " Don't ever do that again nephew."
I didn't replied and asked "What were you thinking are you troubled about their deaths."
"No it is not that. Even I don't feel that much for them as we were never close. It's just that today the new Patriarch will be chosen and they will never let you become the new Patriarch."She said.
"Don't worry aunt I have a trump card up my sleeve for it." I said assuredly.
"Let's eat the lunch first as it will become cold." I said.
And she started to eat I said "Aunt you are really very beautiful."
She became red at my compliment and said "Nephew you shouldn't say it like that you know it is wrong."
"I don't think it is wrong, there are many people in Glory City who even married their aunt." I replied nonchalantly.
She became more red this time but didn't said anything. We talked about little things after that.
After the lunch I said "I will take my leave now aunt."
"Alright nephew fei." She said.
I go towards my room and started to cultivate my soul realm. I trained for 4 hours and after that I started to wear my royal style clothes.
At 5 in the evening I went towards the main hall and as I entered everyone was already seated, so I go and sat next to the seat of the Patriarch.
"Everyone as you all know that today this meeting is arranged to decide the new Patriarch of the family. So everyone start to tell who they recommend." I said.
Shen Yuan stood up and said "I recommend young master as it was already decided by the Patriarch Shen Hong."
"It was but he is only a kid, he can't take the responsibility of the family." Shen Xu said.
Many elders were with favor of Shen Xu.
At that moment I stood up and said "I would like you to support me to become the Patriarch as it was a wish of my father Shen Hong. As for my accomplishments and responsibilities I would like to tell you that I am a Intermediate Master Level Alchemist of the Alchemist association." I also showed them the batch of the Alchemist association.
There was uproar as I said and showed this and after sometime Shen Xu stood up and said "Now I have no problem in supporting young master to become the Patriarch."
As the two strongest fighters of the family were now in my favor others also agreed.
"So it is decided from today our new Patriarch is Lord Shen Fei. Please take the Patriarch seat young master." Shen Yuan said and everyone else cheered.
I sat on the Patriarch seat and after everyone sat and stopped speaking I said "These are my first orders as the Patriarch of the family. The new Internal affairs elder will be Shen Yuan and Shen Xu will be in the same position as the protector of our library and family. Shen Yan will be the new head of our guards and army and I want him to make our army and guards more strong. And my new attendent will be Shen Xiu."
After the orders Shen Xiu stood behind me and Shen Yuan said "Thank You Patriarch."
I nodded and said "Tomorrow in the meeting with the other families, Shen Yuan and Shen Xiu will come with me."
They nodded and after some other talk the meeting was finished. I walked to my room and after having dinner I slept.
