It has to be said that the sixth elder Gu Yan's first impression of Ye Feng was good. At least, he respected his elders. You are the husband of girl Xun'er, and Xun'er is my junior. No matter how powerful you are, you, Ye Feng, are also my junior. The more powerful a person is, the more difficult it is to respect their elders. But Ye Feng did it - calling himself "senior" in front of others. And it's not just in private, but in front of all the ancient clan forces. This not only gives face to oneself, but also gives face to the Gu clan.
Although the Gu clan and the Mortal Immortal Civilization seem to have a mutually beneficial relationship, after seeing Ye Feng today, Gu Yan has already understood that although the Gu clan took the lead in joining the Mortal Immortal Culture Research Institute, it saved Ye Feng the trouble. It has caused a lot of trouble, but with Ye Feng's strength and the size of Mortal Immortal Civilization, it is only a matter of time before Mortal Immortal Civilization achieves such achievements. Therefore, Gu Yan also began to admire the vision of his ancestor, the great elder, and the clan leader Gu Tianying, and he also understood why his ancestor loved Ye Feng so much. At the same time, Gu Yan also understood why his ancestor would stumble Ye Feng in small ways.
It is inevitable that young people will be impetuous, and it is definitely not a bad thing for elders to give them timely advice. But from this point of view, the ancestor really wanted to regard the boy in front of him as his future successor. Ancestor is really serious this time! But just because he was being serious, Gu Yan was secretly surprised. After all, Ye Feng was from the human race.
There was no surprise on Gu Yan's face, but when he saw Ye Feng's eyes, when Ye Feng asked his ancestor what he had yet to explain, he already knew that Ye Feng's ability to see through people's hearts was not fake. So he smiled and said:
"The ancestor said that after entering the secret realm, I, a hard-working old man, will be responsible for small things such as their daily arrangements. However, when major issues are undecided, I still have to trouble the clan leader to make a decision."
Hearing this, Ye Feng was also stunned, and thought to himself: It's true, that old fox, ancestor. Big things, what other big things could there be? It's just a place of opportunity that you can't get through, and you have to solve it yourself. Sure enough, the ancestor would not give himself such a cheap good thing.
So Ye Feng laughed and said, "If I'm right, they probably won't act with me after entering."
The Gu clan naturally knew what to do first after entering, which was naturally to find a place to stay, preferably under a certain sect. Since it is a time-space-dislocated fairyland over there, it naturally does not belong to the same time and space as Chiyang Fairyland. If you define the place you are in at this moment as reality, then the world opposite is a false dream, and what you do in a dream will naturally not count in reality. After all, if you have sex with a female star in your dream, do you have to be responsible for her in reality? Even if you want to, it still depends on whether the female star is willing?
Therefore, even if you join a sect on the other side, it will not be considered a betrayal of your original family? At this point, compared with other participants of the ancient clan, the people of the Gu clan will not have any psychological pressure. This is the advance advantage brought about by the information gap. And the ancestor knows very well that as long as Xun'er is around, as long as you still recognize the identity of the clan leader, will you, Ye Feng, not give it to you if the clan needs it? So in that case, wouldn't it be the best choice to go with you and take a two-pronged approach?
And more importantly, these words were spoken by the ancestor in front of everyone at the end of the elders' meeting. The reason for that was because the ancestor wanted to appease the emotions of the fourth elder Gu Yue and the second elder Gu Hong. From the on-site observation and communication with Qimei and Laoba, he knew that the fourth brother and the second brother still didn't like Ye Feng.
But Gu Yan doesn't think there is anything wrong. If Ye Feng becomes the clan leader in the future, what if all the elders follow the clan leader Ye Feng, what will be the disaster for the Gu clan? As a person in power, if all his subordinates agree with him and there is no objection, this will be an extremely dangerous signal. In addition, through this matter, the future patriarch can be given a little bit of hard work, which can also be regarded as a "little test" for the elders.
Moreover, Gu Yan could see that Gu Fangyuan and Gu Ling'er were really not as convinced of Ye Feng, the future clan leader, as others were. Therefore, Gu Yan still agrees with his ancestor’s approach on this matter.
So Gu Yan smiled bitterly and said: "The patriarch is the master of heaven and earth's destiny. By your side, let alone meat, I won't even be able to take a sip of soup."
Hearing this, Ye Feng also smiled. It's not like the old fox didn't know that although he was the master of heaven and earth's luck, it was also a transit station. The ancestor expected that even if he could get good things, he wouldn't be able to keep them. If so, then the Gu family, the natal family, will naturally benefit from it.
So Ye Feng said: "In other words, as the patriarch, I don't have any rights to command people, but I must assume the obligations of the patriarch?"
Hearing this, Gu Yan cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Exactly, please forgive me, clan leader."
Everyone behind Gu Yan was stunned. Is the clan leader about to get angry? But that's right, the clan leader should indeed be angry. At first, they only knew that Ye Feng had become their acting clan leader and that everything in the secret realm was subject to his arrangements. Everyone knows what this means - this time there are thighs to hold in the secret realm, and they are very thick. Who can be unhappy about this matter? And this time, Gu Wu, the beast master in the clan, was also lucky enough to be selected to participate in the exploration of the secret realm.
But everyone only heard the last words of the Sixth Elder at this moment. Especially Gu Wu, he was even more angry at this moment. This was just teasing others. There is no reason why rights and obligations are not equal in this world! He himself is a reasonable person, and he will naturally not tolerate unreasonable things. Even if that person is an ancestor, he will still say something. So when Gu Wu was about to raise his head to reason, he saw a commanding look in Ye Feng's eyes. Gu Wu was startled, and then he realized that it was Ye Feng who told him not to be impulsive. And Gu Wu finally gave up his plan to say a few words of justice to the acting clan leader, not because he compromised on his own, but because this was the order of the acting clan leader.
Ye Feng understands the reason why his ancestor made such an arrangement. In addition to the above reasons, which Ye Feng has already understood through seeing through, there are actually more important reasons. Because if you think about it from his perspective, if you were an ancestor, you would definitely arrange it that way. Ye Feng knew that his ancestor was right, and this was indeed the most appropriate arrangement at this stage. Moreover, Ye Feng knew that as a human being, if his ancestor could give him the position of acting clan leader, he was already prepared to be a sinner of the Gu clan for all eternity. Even in a different place, he might not be able to achieve the same level as his ancestor.
Elderly people can have such courage and consciousness, how can young people still be so narrow-minded?
So Ye Feng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."
