Hearing Wang Xiong's words, Ye Jin could finally make sense of some of the things.
"So this means… the patriarch has already decided to groom you as his successor?" Ye Jin asked.
"Indeed… well the chances are quite likely. But with the current split in our sect, there are chances that we may have two more candidates. One each from the three divisions. There is a chance the elders might argue for this soon, and the matter might be put forth in our annual sect meeting next month." Wang Xiong added.
"Will that be good, though? Our sect has had the tradition of the chief disciple being the next patriarch, hasn't it? Changing it like that will be against what our ancestors decided." Ye Jin said, remembering some of the doctrines of the sect that prevented traditions from being changed arbitrarily.
