A few carriages were parked at the entrance of the Feng Mansion.
The number of guards at the gate was triple the usual, lending the scene an especially solemn air.
Su Ye walked up the steps, entered the Feng Mansion, and handed her invitation to the guard at the entrance.
She and Song Jue had arrived a bit late; the Family Head succession ceremony had already begun.
By the time they reached the Feng Family's Ancestral Hall, they could hear the master of ceremonies' resonant voice.
"Receive the Family Head Seal."
Su Ye stood at the entrance of the Feng Family's Ancestral Hall, not going inside.
She just watched from a distance.
Song Jue scanned the crowd, his eyebrows raising in surprise.
