The road to becoming king was long indeed.
Even as the theoretical Next Patriarch, Ji Liushuang was still a long way from that position.
Although she had yet to meet the regent who was handling affairs on her mother's behalf, any high-ranking transcendent in this day and age could expect to enjoy a very long prime.
And his attitude toward the Next Patriarch was bound to be ambiguous.
In essence, this gain from the Gospel Group had truly secured Ji Liushuang's place in the world. It had given her a position in the distribution of power and spared her most of the risk of dying a violent death.
But actually trying to reclaim what was supposedly "hers" was wishful thinking.
That was why she had sighed just now: her opinion might not carry much weight.
It was also why Fu Qian had warned her, and why staying out of it might be the best choice.
Purely from the standpoint of personal interest, if the Ji Clan really marched straight into a pit like this, it would be a huge opportunity for Ji Liushuang's rise to power.
If the Night Watcher flew into a rage and simply killed the current patriarch, everything would be much simpler.
Unfortunately, Ji Liushuang really didn't have much ambition for power. With the Gospel Group as a safety net to protect her mother, her drive to advance her career had already faded.
Rather than take control of a crippled top-tier conglomerate, she was more inclined to issue a warning in advance.
Fu Qian clearly respected her choice, and had no intention of trying to talk her out of it.
Young people should be encouraged to make their own decisions. The point of a group meeting was never to ensure that the leader's wishes were carried out
