There are some things I need to explain here,
The first is the title of seniority in the article. If there is a clear blood or seniority relationship, there is no problem. For example, Ye Feng calls Ren Tianxing father-in-law. But those who do not have a clear blood or seniority relationship cannot use a certain standard to define the relationship between elder and younger.
If you say they are divided by age, that is actually the stupidest and most incomprehensible one. For immortal cultivators who are often tens of thousands of years old, age is the most useless standard of seniority. For example, Ye Feng and Tu Shanling before the Demon King, Tu Shanling is old enough to be Ye Feng's senior, but let alone now, Ye Feng would not call Tu Shanling senior before, and now he would not call this stupid vixen senior, even Ye Feng at this moment If she were called Senior Tu Shanling, Tu Shanling would think that Ye Feng wanted to draw a clear line with her, and would not let Ye Feng go.
It would be even funnier if you said they were divided according to strength. If all the characters appearing in this book were really divided according to strength, all of them would be Ye Feng's "grandsons". Yes, according to strength, They are all "grandsons".
So how to call it is actually very simple, that is, "Zhou Yu hits the yellow cover: one is willing to hit and the other is willing to suffer." Specifically, it's like Linglong calling Ye Feng "Dad". It's enough if one is willing to call him and the other is willing to acknowledge him.
To be honest, Ye Feng pays more attention to a "person's" "human character", and his ability is secondary. Even if a person didn't have any power, as long as he had an upright character and looked older than himself at that time, Ye Feng was willing to call him a senior. But if a person has bad conduct, then for such a person, Ye Feng thinks it is better to divide the seniority according to "strength", and you can be a grandson.
Secondly, there is the age gap between sisters. In the world of immortality, it is not uncommon for sisters to be hundreds or even thousands of years apart. After all, who stipulates the age at which monks must have children? Besides, it is extremely difficult for monks to give birth to children. That's why the hatred of killing children and killing children in the world of immortality is a hundred times stronger than that in the mortal world. After all, the cost of early and late investment is too high. This can be seen from the fact that Nezha killed the third prince of the Dragon King and caused the Dragon King of the East China Sea to summon other dragon kings to flood Chentangguan.

In the elder hall of the Ying clan, Ying Ruyu suddenly knelt down to Lai Ancestor for no apparent reason. It was only after Lai Ancestor saw the reason that he gave a rare smile. The ancestor said:
"Tell me your reasons. If you make sense, I will certainly allow you."
Ying Ruyu slowly stood up and said: "Other ancient immortal cultivators cultivate Taoism and pursue the Taoist principle of 'governing by doing nothing'. Therefore, they will not hinder the internal struggle within the family, use struggle to stimulate competition, and thus make the family full of motivation. For As far as the family is concerned, it is okay to rest and recuperate, but in this special period when it is necessary to unite and face the outside world, the consequences of this kind of "inaction", that is, everyone doing their own thing, will emerge. So they will take the opportunity to take advantage of the opening of this secret realm. To clean up the internal minority and stabilize the family in order to compete for more resources. Although this is despicable, it is also a helpless thing. However, although my Ying family also practices Taoism and immortality, it is indeed "Legalism", which emphasizes centralization and unification. There are no internal conflicts that hold us back like other ancient immortal cultivators, and there is no need to abandon anyone at this moment and damage our own strength."
Ying Ruyu said: "Moreover, there is a certain death situation on the 5th day, and a certain survival situation on the 10th day. But who said that there is a probability that you will not die on the 7th day? If I were Ye Feng, since I gave you a butcher knife to kill the disadvantaged party, If you are a person, you will definitely have to pay a price for the superior side. Otherwise, how can you calm down the public anger? No, it should be said to give you a reason to calm down your own anger. After all, no matter how violent the anger of the weak is, in Ye Feng's eyes, they are just incompetent. He didn't need to pay attention to his complaints. After all, if he made it annoying, he would just kill him. But in the end, he still gave the weak us a reason to deceive ourselves, deceive ourselves, and deceive our own people into turning off the fire. From this point of view, he really So 'kind'."
When Ying Ruyu said "kindness", her tone was obviously much colder, and then she continued:
"So the 7th day is also a certain death situation. In addition, Master, you said before, regarding the impact on the future, I have to say that Ye Feng's insight into human nature and the method of using people's hearts are extremely terrifying, and it is extremely terrifying to think about."
After saying that, there was silence in the elder hall for a long time, and suddenly the ancestor laughed heartily for a while.
"That's all, I won't let Yingli go to the secret realm in the 7th day. You can conclude that the 7th day is a certain death situation, instead of thinking that there are loopholes to be picked up like other senior officials of the ancient tribe. Ruyu, you performed very well today, as a reward , I will spare your sister’s life. But next time, if she makes a mistake again, I don’t need someone else’s knife, you will kill her!”
"Yes" wins like jade.
"Pfft" Yingli quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you ancestor for not killing me."
She originally thought that she had made a mistake and could get away with it this time, but she did not expect that the ancestor had already planned to kill her. If her sister had not begged for mercy, she would really be dead at this moment. In fact, Ying Li also forgot, Ying The clan adheres to legal principles, where merit is rewarded and misdeeds are punished.
The ancestor faced Ying Ruyu and said: "Ruyu, your character and strategy are undoubtedly the first among the younger generation, but that was before this Ye Feng emerged. Compared with that Ye Feng, your scheming and resourcefulness are only slightly inferior." , This can be made up for, but you are not ruthless and decisive enough. You are okay with outsiders, but you are too kind to your own people."
After all, in the eyes of the ancestor, how could someone like Ye Feng, who could casually come up with such damaging moves as if nothing had happened, not be a ruthless person?
After saying that, the ancestor stood up and said to the elders: "I'm going back to retreat. Unless it's a critical moment for our clan's life and death, don't bother me with worldly matters. During this period, all matters that need to be reported should be reported directly to Ying Ruyu. That’s fine, it’s all up to her.”
The ancestor paused deliberately, looked at the elders coldly and said, "I told you, it's everything."
The ancestor meant to report all the immoral things that the family had done privately. It was time for Ying Ruyu to understand that it was not smartness and kindness that could run a family, and it was not a strict rule of law that could govern a family. It was also necessary to Cruel and ruthless.
With that said, the ancestor walked out of the house, returned to his cave, and went into seclusion.

To be honest, due to the influence of the Heavenly Lock, the entire Chiyang Immortal Realm basically belongs to the end of the Dharma era. The biggest feature is that most of the leaders of the racial forces have no successors. Therefore, as long as the helmsman with some foresight is working hard to cultivate successors. It is obvious that Ying Ruyu is the future successor of the Ying clan. For this reason, it is difficult to say whether the ancestor wants to kill Ying Ruyu's sister simply to punish Yingli or to pave the way for Ying Ruyu. After all, in the eyes of the ancestor, a person who swears loyalty A living person is far less reassuring than a dead person.
