"Why do you think all the elders supported Yunxiao to become the next head of the Lan family? Because we saw everything that you didn't see!"
Every word from Lan Hongtai struck heavily at Lan Jingkuang's heart.
"Why are so many clan members unwilling to forgive you? Because of the insane and cruel things you did to your own brother, who has always supported and protected you!
Ask yourself honestly, between the two of you, who is more suitable to be the head of the Lan family?"
Lan Hongtai's eyes were filled with helplessness. Lan Yunxiao had always been his pride. Yunxiao worked hard in his cultivation, had a calm temperament, and had a broad mind. He was willing to help any member of the family without caring about personal gain or reputation.
Lan Jingkuang, on the other hand, was a complete opposite. He worked hard in his cultivation not to protect the family, but to prove his own strength. He only showed affection towards those who could benefit him, while disregarding the rest of the clan.
Lan Hongtai saw all of this clearly, which was why he didn't hesitate to choose Lan Yunxiao. He had tried to subtly remind Lan Jingkuang, hoping that he would understand, but he realized that Lan Jingkuang was too deeply trapped and couldn't see the truth anymore.
As Lan Hongtai's words fell, Lan Borong and others nodded silently.
They had all believed that Lan Yunxiao was the hope of the Lan family. With Yunxiao's presence, the entire Lan family would prosper, and the clan members would unite. Such a prestigious young master was rare in the history of the Lan family.
Unfortunately, everything was destroyed by Lan Jingkuang.
Over the years, they, as elders, had forgiven Lan Jingkuang for everything in a tolerant state, but Lan Jingkuang took it all for granted and remained stubbornly ignorant.
At this moment, even Lan Kaicheng and Lan Yongtai fell into silence because they also understood this truth.
Lan Jingkuang looked at the helpless and pained gazes of everyone around him, feeling his heart completely shattered.
He stared at Lan Hongtai blankly, then at Lan Yunxiao, shaking his head as if he were a soulless puppet.
"It's impossible... This can't be possible..."
In the next moment, Lan Jingkuang pointed directly at Lan Yunxiao, "When did he ever surpass me? I clearly fought him evenly with my own strength!"
Lan Yunxiao simply glanced at Lan Jingkuang indifferently, unwilling to say more.
Lan Hongtai and the others shook their heads in helplessness. A person who remained obstinate and ignorant would always be like this.
Situ Yan and Mu Jinse also shook their heads. They realized that narrow-minded individuals like Lan Jingkuang could never understand everything. They were blind to the truth and believed that their own thoughts were always right.
The expressions of Yue Manlan and Lan Qingyan turned extremely unpleasant. They had always believed that Lan Jingkuang's ideas were correct, but now, knowing the truth, they felt as if lightning had struck them.
But more than anything, they couldn't believe it.
They had witnessed Lan Jingkuang's abilities; he was undeniably a strong individual!
However, Lan Jingkuang appeared devastated, as if he had suffered a tremendous blow. He became despondent, constantly muttering, "This can't be possible..."
Lan Hongtai turned to look at Situ Yan and Mu Jinse, his face filled with deep shame.
"Master Situ, Lady Mu, I am truly ashamed for the suffering we caused to your daughter all these years."
