The room instantly fell deathly silent.
Everyone stared at Qinling Mountain, dumbfounded, before turning to look at Qin Li with envy and jealousy.
Even the younger generation of the Qin Family, like Qin Suo, couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy as they looked at Qin Li.
The old Patriarch's protectiveness over Qin Li was truly enviable! It even bordered on blind devotion, as if Qin Li were the savior of the Qin Family!
But who could say if he was truly worthy of the old Patriarch's trust?
More than one or two people in the room harbored such doubts.
However, not a single person voiced any objection. This was because the family had always been united, and Qinling Mountain's authority was deeply ingrained in their hearts.
Still, they waited to see what Qin Li would do next. If he did nothing, then no matter how strong his martial prowess or how great his talent, these legitimate sons representing the various branches of the Qin Family would never truly submit to him.
