Although Elder Ai seems to be kind-hearted, why can he be so hesitant to become one of the five elders of Guanlong Mountain?
But now, Cui Yingxiong felt that Elder Ai's attitude towards Gu Yuan seemed to be much gentler.
Sitting in the car, Cui Yingxiong hesitated for a moment and finally asked the doubts in his heart.
"Elder, what are you going to do with the Ling family?"
"Ling family?" Elder Ai frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I think what you said before is very reasonable. The Ling family has indeed made many contributions to Guanlong Mountain and Daxia, but this does not make them Domineering capital. Wrong is wrong, right is right. Ling Feng wanted to kill Gu Yuan, a member of the Demon Suppression Division, but he was outskilled and was killed instead. Isn't this what he deserved?
If he really succeeded, Gu Yuan's death would also be the loss of the Demon Suppression Division and Daxia! That is to say, he is dead now. If Ling Feng is still alive, he will be held accountable! "
Cui Yingxiong's eyes widened and his head was buzzing.
He is now very curious as to what the old lady of the Li family said to Elder Ai. In just half an hour, Elder Ai made up his mind to stand firmly on Gu Yuan's side.
It’s really unbelievable!
When he returned to Guanlong Mountain, Elder Ai turned to look at Cui Yingxiong.
"I'll give you a task next."
"You say!"
"Go to Ling's house and invite Ling Guiyu over. I want to ask him what he wants to do!"
Feeling the anger in Elder Ai's tone, Cui Yingxiong quickly stood up straight.
"Don't worry, I will definitely invite Cui Yingxiong here!"
Cui Yingxiong scratched his head as he watched Elder Ai leave.
"It's really weird..."
Although he felt puzzled, Elder Ai was able to make such a decision, which was also what Cui Yingxiong hoped for.
He and the Ling family actually had no grudges. After all, Cui Yingxiong was also one of the Star Lords of Guanlong Mountain. Even if the Ling family was crazy, they would not take the initiative to provoke him.
But his brief contact with Gu Yuan in Guicheng made him feel that this young man had extraordinary potential. Moreover, what he said to Elder Ai was from the bottom of his heart. He also understood what the Ling family had done over the years. Looking at it, it is indeed time to knock it.
Perhaps Ling Feng's death can serve as a wake-up call for the Ling family.
It is best to get back on track, which is good for everyone, but if the Ling family is confused and really feels that they are so powerful that they even want to challenge Guanlongshan, then Guanlongshan can teach them in minutes. They are human beings.
Thinking of this, Cui Yingxiong was in a good mood, humming an unknown tune and headed to Ling's house.
The first thing Elder Ai did when he returned to Guanlong Mountain was to immediately hold a meeting.
There were only four people attending the meeting. Except for an elder who had been in retreat, the other three elders from Guanlong Mountain were all present.
This incident also caused waves in Guanlong Mountain.
Over the years, it has been very rare for so many elders to gather together for meetings and discussions, unless they encounter very serious problems.
Whether it was the previous conflict with the Holy Bishop's Court or Yamato's Onmyoji warriors sneaking into Daxia, at most an elder would come forward.
At the meeting, Elder Ai also explained the information he got at the Li family.
The other three elders all frowned.
"Aren't the guardians of the Bronze Sacred Tree chosen from members of the Li family? How could they be chosen by an outsider?"
"This is the Divine Tree's own choice, and we cannot change it." Elder Ai said.
If it was up to them to decide, they would have already started selecting the most suitable candidate. However, if you think about it carefully, even if they screen through observation and data, it may not be as good as the choice of Shenshu himself.
"Is this young man named Gu Yuan... really not related to the Li family?" Another elder asked curiously.
In fact, this was also a doubt Gu Yuan had before.
"It absolutely doesn't matter." Elder Ai paused, frowned again, and said softly, "However, Gu Yuan's identity is indeed somewhat special."
"Um?"
"His parents were once members of the Demon Suppression Division." Elder Ai explained.
…
Li family.
In the sacred tree space.
Gu Yuan was still sitting under the bronze sacred tree.
Three hours have passed, and the light mist that originally enveloped Gu Yuan has become much thinner now. He can feel that some subtle changes have occurred in his body.
Raising his head and looking at the projection of the bronze sacred tree above his head and the light chain connecting him to the projection, Gu Yuan stretched out his hand, but his palm passed directly through the light chain.
He slowly took in a breath and exhaled it slowly, his eyes becoming firmer.
Immediately, the projection of the bronze sacred tree suddenly turned into a pillar of light and escaped into Gu Yuan's body, and the entire sacred tree space returned to its former tranquility.
With his eyes closed, he could feel that in the depths of his consciousness, the projection of the bronze sacred tree was flashing golden light in the chaos.
This close connection is very subtle, as if it is the blending of the soul and the divine tree. He can even feel the heaviness conveyed by the projection of the divine tree in his consciousness.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps woke Gu Yuan up from this delicate state.
He raised his head and looked not far away. The old lady walked through the corals and water plants and slowly walked towards him.
"Old lady, do you think I have... signed a contract?" Gu Yuan stood up and rubbed his chest and asked.
"Um."
Gu Yuan laughed.
"How is it? Do you feel anything special now?" the old lady asked.
Gu Yuan shook his head and pointed at his brain.
"I think the projection of the bronze sacred tree is here."
He spoke a little vaguely, but the old lady knew what he meant, and explained: "This is the connection between you and the sacred tree. On the fifteenth day of every month, you can enter the space of the sacred tree for enlightenment. Follow the charm of the sacred tree to enhance your own strength."
Gu Yuan's eyes widened and he said, "Doesn't that mean that I have to come to Li's house every month?"
Mrs. Li shook her head: "Of course not, Li Siming is also the guardian of the sacred tree. Do you think he comes back every month?"
Gu Yuanxin said: How do I know that even if Li Siming does return to the capital, he will not make a big splash.
Who is a good person who has to go home secretly?
"You will know when the time comes." The old lady didn't seem to intend to explain too much to Gu Yuan, "Everything needs to be explored by yourself."
Gu Yuan said "Oh" and asked again: "Then what should I pay attention to next?"
"You don't have to do anything. What you were like before will remain like that in the future." Old Taijun said, "It's not a good thing to be too cautious, and the sacred tree will protect you. In addition, the stronger you are, the more powerful you are. , the vitality of the sacred tree will become stronger."
Gu Yuan nodded, this was really closely related.
"Also, Elder Ai has already been here before. You don't have to worry about the Ling family. Guanlongshan will stand firmly on your side." After the old lady finished speaking, she paused and then said, "What's more, , you did nothing wrong in the first place."
Gu Yuan was not surprised when he heard this. Before deciding to sign a contract with the sacred tree, the old lady had already explained the stakes in detail. It was also at that time that he realized that Guanlong Mountain also knew about the existence of the bronze sacred tree. .
However, the only people who knew about it were the five elders on Guanlong Mountain, so the confidentiality was really high enough.
Not to mention that Gu Yuan was just fighting in self-defense, even if Gu Yuan really had a premeditated plan to kill Ling Feng, Guanlongshan would have to side with Gu Yuan now.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuan suddenly felt that this was a terrible thing.
"If...I mean if! If I become evil-doing, then Guanlongshan still has to stand firmly on my side for the sake of the Bronze Sacred Tree? In this case, wouldn't they be scheming for the tiger?"
"Such a thing won't happen." The old lady said.
Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Has this situation happened before?"
