"Aren't you too indulgent of Ji Ziyin?" That person was not tactful at all. "She, Ji Xiao, and the rest are about to form a small force in the family. If I remember correctly, our family still has a direct descendant who has wandered outside."
The elder's words carried weight. He looked at Ji Lingfeng. "There are still people in the family's direct line of descent. There's no reason for a collateral branch to replace the direct line of descent."
A direct descendant was a direct descendant, and a collateral branch was a collateral branch!
No matter how bad the direct descendants were, they were still the direct descendants. No matter how outstanding the collateral branches were, they were still collateral branches.
There was a difference in status!
"Of course, this is only my personal opinion. Patriarch, think about it carefully. I won't disturb you."
Then, he walked out with his walking stick.
