"I'm not sure, but it's very likely."
Hong Kang said: "At least you can still talk to Brother Tong here now. If the spiritual mind is frozen in the physical body..."
None of them are people who can't listen to suggestions.
Tong Zhan immediately advised: "Dad, just listen to my husband. Don't go outside. Just stay here."
"We will definitely come in to see you often."
"You can go back when a treatment plan is developed later."
Elder Tianxing also advised: "Clan leader, what Tong Zhan said makes sense."
Elder Tu said at this time: "But if the clan leader never returns, what will happen to the affairs of the clan? How about letting the new clan leader succeed!"
Elder Shui echoed: "I agree. Patriarch, what do you think?"
Tong Zhen said without any hesitation: "What the elders said makes sense."
Then the depths of his eyes moved slightly and he said, "Let's do this!"
"Bo'er, take the elders out first, take Tong Xin out as well, and I'll have a few words with Tong Zhan."
Tong Bo has no doubt that he is there.
With a thought in his mind, he was about to leave the "mirror sky".
"Bo'er~!"
Tong Bo turned around and looked at Tong Zhen's figure.
"From now on, you must be careful in everything and take care of yourself."
"...You go ahead~!"
After seeing everyone leave, Tong Zhan looked at his father strangely.
Tong Zhen looked at Hong Kang and said, "Brother Hong, please be a witness to what will happen later."
Hong Kang thought about it and said, "You have to tell Tong Zhan the truth~!"
Tongzhen nodded.
"If you don't say anything, it will be too late."
Tong Zhan looked at the two of them doubtfully.
"Dad, sir, what's the truth??"
Tong Zhen said slowly: "It's about your eldest brother's life experience."
Tong Zhan's eyes tightened, and an unpleasant feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
He was absolutely certain that what his father said to him next might shatter the life he had been living.
"Your elder brother, he cannot take over the position of clan leader."
………………
outside world.
After a while, Tong Zhan opened his eyes and saw everyone.
However, anyone could notice that something was wrong with Tong Zhan's current state.
"Tong Zhan, what's wrong with you?"
As the eldest brother, Tong Bo has always been sensitive and gentle.
"Brother..."
After calling softly, Tong Zhan looked at Tong Bo with extremely complicated eyes, his eyes began to turn red.
"What's wrong? Did dad tell you something?!"
Tong Xin came to Tong Zhan's side with a playful smile and said briefly: "Second brother, you are so shy and crying..."
The angry Tong Zhan immediately kicked him.
"Okay, since there's nothing wrong, let's take care of dad's affairs first."
After saying that, he walked towards the pillar and prepared to remove the ever-burning lamp that was not frozen.
Unexpectedly, Tong Zhan immediately stopped him.
"Brother, according to the clan rules, only the successor to the clan leader can be responsible for the everlasting lamp."
Tong Bo, who had turned his back, raised his eyebrows, his face showing a look of sadness.
Yinxiu immediately felt unjust.
"what are you talking about?"
"He is the eldest son, and he should be the successor to the clan leader."
Other elders also spoke one after another.
"yes!"
"Our Tong clan has always been the eldest son to succeed the clan leader!..."
Tong Zhan clenched his fists and swallowed harder.
Hearing the words "eldest son" made his heart sting even more.
He closed his eyes slightly, tried hard to control his emotions, raised his head slightly and said:
"He is the eldest son, but... he is not the new patriarch."
"Ah~!"
"ah!……"
The six elders all looked sideways, each looking puzzled at each other.
Tong Bo's face became more miserable, but he still had some hope.
Stepping up to Tong Zhan, Tong Bo asked seriously: "What did dad say??"
Yinxiu even complained about Tong Zhan: "You are confused! There is no reason..."
"have!"
Tong Zhan said suddenly: "Because... I don't agree!"
Tong Bo said deeply: "Tong Zhan..."
"I don't agree! I don't agree! I don't agree!......"
Tong Zhan spoke louder and louder.
With every word he spoke, his emotions became more intense, and after a few words he couldn't help but get wet in his eyes.
Although, his brother said heartless words.
But Tong Bo was profound in martial arts and had a keen mind. He could feel the pain, confusion, sadness, and helplessness in Tong Zhan's eyes...
Tong Bo felt sorry for him.
This should be your own responsibility.
But at the same time, this also confirmed his suspicion.
only--
"Tong Zhan, you know, I never care about the position of patriarch."
"I just want to know, what on earth did dad tell you?!"
Tong Zhan tightened his lips and remained silent.
The hermit cultivator looked at it and said impatiently: "Oh, just ask the clan leader again!"
"Why go to all this trouble?!"
Tong Zhan immediately said: "Dad said that he wants you to leave "Shuiyue Cave"~!"
After a pause, he said: "Mr. Hong can testify!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Hong Kang nodded and said, "Brother Tong indeed told you so."
The conjecture in Tong Bo's mind suddenly came to fruition.
His face had a sad look on his face, tears welled up in his eyes, and he even showed his misery.
Elder Huo questioned: "Impossible! The clan leader should know the clan rules~!"
Elder Jin echoed: "Yes!..."
Tong Xin even pulled Tong Bo and shouted: "I don't want my eldest brother to leave~!"
The hermit can't see through it.
Tong Bo is usually gentle and polite, treating others like a spring breeze, and is very respected in the Tong family.
"I'll go talk to the clan leader."
Elder Tianxing and the other five elders looked at each other and also entered the "Mirror Sky".
"I'll go too, I'll go too."
Childlike innocence called to go with him.
Tong Bo grabbed Tong Zhan's arm and spoke louder.
"Tong Zhan, what on earth did dad tell you?"
"Why do you want me to leave?"
"There must be a reason!"
"Even if you want me to leave, you must let me leave knowingly and willingly."
Tong Zhan turned his head and said, "I don't know."
"you must know!"
Tong Zhan pursed his lips and said stubbornly, "I don't know. Ask dad."
Tears flashed in Tong Bo's eyes.
If his guess was true, how could he ask his father? How dare he go? !
Once he goes there, Tong Bo is afraid of the worst outcome.
"Dad, does he know that he is forcing me to leave my home~~"
"Leave this place where I was born, raised, and educated~!"
There were already two lines of tears on Tong Zhan's face.
The man sheds tears easily because he has not reached the sad point.
"Brother, don't force me."
"You just need to remember that no matter what happens, we are the closest and best brothers."
"For the rest, don't force me, okay?!~~"
"...Stop forcing me...!"
Tong Bo looked at Tong Zhan with tears covering his face, as if he was a child.
His heart softened a little and his tone was a little softer.
"I remember that you have never cried since you were ten years old."
Tong Zhan instinctively wiped the tears on his face.
At this time, several people who went to "Jingtian" to pursue questions came back.
Judging from their expressions, there was nothing to gain from this trip.
The hermit cultivator complained: "What do you think happened to the clan leader?!"
"Don't say anything, just say the same thing over and over again."
"Let Tong Zhan succeed the clan leader and Tong Bo leave "Shuiyue Cave"...!"
However, complaints are complaints.
Now it seems that the result can only be this.
At this time.
Tong Bo walked towards Hong Kang.
"Sir, it's time to settle down here. Bo'er has something to ask sir."
Hong Kang: “………………”
