From this point on, Hyuga Hiashi accomplished quite a few things even his father had failed to do.
For example, he raised the status of Branch House members, reduced the exploitation imposed on them, and strictly prohibited insulting or arbitrarily punishing them.
Although these measures left many Main House elders dissatisfied, unfortunately for them, all they could do was complain. There was nothing they could do to Hyuga Hiashi.
The old clan head was gravely ill; whether he would live much longer was uncertain. The young clan head could assume the position at any time.
At such a critical moment, constantly opposing the young clan head was simply asking for trouble.
Thus, the bottom line was gradually pushed back bit by bit.
"Mie approaching Lord Jingyi is part of the clan's plan. Since that is the case, everyone should put aside thoughts you shouldn't be having. If you have nothing better to do, you can bring some gifts to visit the widows and orphans in the clan."
"..."
Fine!
We were wrong. Young Clan Head, please stop talking.
From now on, we definitely won't interfere in Mie Hyuga's affairs. Arrange things however you like.
Compared to showing off their presence by meddling in Mie Hyuga's affairs, these elders were more afraid of Hyuga Hiashi making them put on an act.
Just imagining themselves bringing gifts and wearing painfully ugly fake smiles as they comforted the widows and orphans in the clan made the elders feel as though they had swallowed fly droppings.
Sigh~~~
When had the clan become like this?
Why did the young clan head always force them to do things they did not want to do?
Why were they always the ones backing down?
For the first stop after leaving the village, Jingyi chose the Land of Whirlpools.
