"Even now, the same principle applies." Zhao Gushen quickly turned his head and glanced at Ye Fei.
"But, isn't it only those who awaken the Family Head's ability who can become the Family Head?" Ye Fei asked, a bit puzzled, "And isn't it true that only one person can awaken this ability in each generation?"
Ye Fei stopped speaking suddenly.
She paused for a while and said, "Or, are you saying that if..."
Ye Fei was frightened by her own speculation.
She took a deep breath before continuing, "If the person with the Family Head's ability... isn't... isn't around anymore."
No matter what, she couldn't bring herself to utter the word "die."
Because those who had the Family Head's ability, like the old man, Zhao Dinghuan, and Zhao Gushen, were all people close to her.
Even if it was just an analysis, even if she hadn't named anyone, it was just a hypothesis, or even about a non-existent person.
She didn't want to use that word in this context.
