Inside the Patriarch's Hall of the Sikong family, a silence enveloped the room.
Chen Zhixing sat alone on the main seat, massaging his temples with some degree of frustration.
"Being the patriarch is truly challenging."
With a sigh, Chen Zhixing reflected on the past three days where he had been overwhelmingly busy. The Sikong family, with a heritage spanning millennia, was among the top-tier noble families, tangled with countless affairs. The handover this time was exceedingly intricate and cumbersome.
All these matters required Chen Zhixing's decisions. Despite his great capabilities, he could not help but feel exhausted.
"When Grandfather returns, I should return this position to him."
Chen Zhixing muttered to himself. He would rather spend his time on cultivation and enhancing his strength than waste it on these trivial matters.
