Chapter 996: Bad Idea
Huang Nianci was also very happy to see that his eldest disciple and second disciple could get along so harmoniously, and said, "Zhan Chen, you have to have a good relationship with your Senior Sister Ye, the Ye family is a pivotal existence in our Humane Sect, I believe you also know this." โ
Zhan Chen found that he was signaling to him with his eyes, and it was immediately clear that Huang Nianci was paving the way for his succession as the sect master, in fact, Zhan Chen knew very well in his heart that even if he became the sect leader of the Humane Sect in the future, he would not be able to spend a lot of effort on managing the affairs of the sect, on the contrary, it was likely that he could push it, and in the end, the rights of the Humane Sect would fall into the hands of the ten major families, and everything would not change.
Huang Nianci saw through his own nature that he asked himself to win over the Ye family, so as to consolidate his position in the Humanist Sect in the future.
Ye Xingqian smiled when he heard Huang Nianci's words, and said, "Master, what are you talking about, isn't our Ye family also under the leadership of your old man in order to manage the affairs of the sect well? You are the pillar of our Humane Sect." โ
Huang Nianci said with a smile: "Hehe, I'm already old, sooner or later there will be a day when I will go west with the crane, and then the Humanist Sect will rely on you juniors to support it." โ
"How can it be, you are a powerhouse in the Great Perfection of Ten Thousand Laws, and Shouyuan is still long? Maybe we are all old and dead, and your old man is still alive and kicking. Ye Xingqian smiled again.
"Hehe, Xingqi, just count your sweet mouth, know how to coax the master, this junior brother of yours is stunned, he can't speak at all, you have to teach him more in the future. โ
"Master, don't worry, after all, I only have such an authentic junior brother, right?"
Zhan Chen looked at the old man and the young man squeezing him on the side, he seemed to be quite happy, and he was speechless, he could only choose to remain silent, because these two people were more bullish than him.
"Xingqi, I didn't have anything else to do when I called Zhan Chenlai today, just to let the two of you get to know each other. After a pause, Huang Nianci said again: "Xingqi, otherwise you should go back first, Zhan Chen and I still have a few words to say." โ
A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Xingqi's eyes, and he couldn't help but look at Zhan Chen a few more times before he said, "That disciple will retire first." Then he turned and left the main hall.
At this time, only Zhan Chen and Huang Nianci were left in the main hall, Huang Nianci beckoned Zhan Chen to come forward, and said to him with a solemn expression: "Zhan Chen, recently I feel more and more that my limit is approaching, and the remaining time may not exceed two thousand years. โ
Zhan Chen couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard his words, and asked, "Master, how can this be, didn't you tell me last time that you still have more than three thousand years to live?"
"It's me who underestimated the seriousness of the matter, I found that my Shouyuan burned faster the more I came to the end, I originally found you, I don't have any regrets, it's just that my time is limited, and I can't let you fully control the entire Humanist Sect, so after you come to power, you may face huge risks. โ
"What risk?" Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask.
"The biggest risk you have to face is the challenge of the ten major families, if I die and you succeed as the sect master, then you will have to directly face the patriarchs of those families, they are all old ghosts who have lived for at least tens of millions of years, and their cultivation is very high, it is impossible to obey your orders, and when the time comes, the Humane Sect will definitely be in chaos!"
Zhan Chen thought for a while, and then said: "Master, you know that I can't do it, otherwise you can change your original mind, I don't want to be this sect master, you let other family patriarchs be the ones, and the worst is also given to senior sister Ye Xingqi, I am an elite disciple who has not even reached the Ten Thousand Law Realm, how can I stabilize the situation?"
Huang Nianci shook his head firmly and said, "No, Zhan Chen, I have already calculated, only you can help the Humanist Sect survive the crisis and become strong again, my calculation will not be wrong, I hope you don't shirk." โ
"But masterโ"
"Don't worry, I've got you covered. โ
"What's the solution?"
"Hehe, I know that your relationship with Xu Jing's little girl is very unusual, as a teacher, I will propose marriage for you and let you marry her, so that the Xu family will definitely support you. โ
When Zhan Chen heard this, he immediately became excited, and exclaimed, "This is really wonderful! Master, you can really make this happen, and I Zhan Chen is grateful." โ
Although he was not worried that his relationship with Xu Liyan would have problems, Xu Jing always maintained an ambiguous attitude, and Li Shaobai would also go to Xu's mansion from time to time to propose marriage, which was what Zhan Chen was worried about.
"Hehe, the relationship between you and Xu Liyan is already as solid as a rock, but there is a Li family in the middle, so there can't be a lover who will eventually become a family, I'm just doing a favor. It's just that with the help of the Xu family alone, you, the future sect master, still can't stand firm. โ
"Then how about trying to form an alliance with the Bai family? After all, I also belong to the Bai family in name. Zhan Chen thought for a while and said.
Huang Nianci shook his head and said, "No, you don't have a very close relationship with the Bai family, and when it comes to the critical moment of real interests, they will not stand on the same side as you." โ
"So what?"
"I've thought about it, if you can have a good relationship with the Ye family and let the Ye family stand behind you, then your position will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai! Because Ye Tianrong, the head of the Ye family, is the same as me, his cultivation has reached the realm of the Great Perfection of Ten Thousand Laws, and the strong men of the other families are not as good as him, and the strength of the Ye family can withstand the combination of the strength of several other families. If the Ye family and the Xu family can join forces to help you, then what are you worried about?"
"Ye family, but I don't know anything about the Ye family, how can I have a good relationship?" Zhan Chen said in astonishment.
"Zhan Chen, are you pretending to be confused, isn't your senior sister Ye Xingqian the Ye family?, and she is Ye Tianrong's proudest daughter, as long as you can become a couple, won't everything be solved?" Huang Nianci said with a smile on his beard.
"What, you want me to pursue Senior Sister Ye, how can this be done?" Zhan Chen said with a busy wave of his hand.
"Why not? The star diaphragm is unmatched in terms of appearance, qualifications, and status. Don't you still look down on people, kid?"
"It's not a matter of looking at it, it's that I don't dare to think about it at all. โ
"Hehe, you can't be sincere, I see that your courage is not small, didn't you get the girl of the Xu family before? Now it is a little difficult to deal with the girl of the Ye family, but it is not impossible to have a teacher on the side to match for you. Huang Niancile said.
"It's not the sameโno, she and I can't. Zhan Chen shook his head again and again, but he didn't agree.
"Zhan Chen, this is the best idea that the teacher can come up with for youโotherwise you should go back and think about it first, and you don't have to make a decision right now, how about it?" Huang Nianci sighed.
"The teacher, the apprentice retired first. Zhan Chen said, and quickly slipped out of the main hall.
Huang Nianci stared at his back and sighed helplessly, his eyes were full of worries about the future at this time.
Let's say that when Zhan Chen returned home, he quickly put behind what Huang Nianci had said to him, and began to devote himself to new cultivation, but within two days, he received an invitation letter, which was actually from the Ye family, and it was also stamped with the seal of Ye Tianrong, the head of the Ye family.
"Why did the Ye family invite me to be a guest? Could it be related to Ye Xingqi?" Zhan Chen hesitated, not knowing whether he should go to the appointment, but in the end he decided that he had to go to the Ye family, because the Ye family's power was extremely powerful in the Humane Sect, and if he chose to oppose them from the beginning, it would be very unfavorable to his future life.
So, he immediately set off to the Ye family's hanging island, and was intercepted by the Ye family's guards dozens of miles away from the island, and he showed the guards the instructions of the head of the family, and those guards were willing to let him land on the island.
As soon as he landed, Zhan Chen saw Ye Xingqian walking towards him, and he immediately felt flattered, and asked with a smile: "Senior sister, why did you come to greet me in person?"
Ye Xingqian smiled and said, "You are our Ye family's honored guest, so naturally you have to prepare to welcome you as soon as possible." โ
Zhan Chen didn't know what kind of medicine she bought in her gourd, and when she thought that she would be at peace when she came, she smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then bother Senior Sister to take me to meet your father." โ
"Please follow me. Ye Xingqian turned around and walked towards a huge city in the center of the Hanging Island.
Before the two came to the city, Zhan Chen saw the three big characters "Ye Family City" hanging on the tall city gate, and sighed: "Senior sister, this giant city of your family is really extraordinary, I'm afraid it can be compared to the scale of Renjie City!"
Ye Xingqian replied: "It's only in the area covered by the city, the population can't be compared with Renjie City, our Yejia City only lives five million people, less than one-twentieth of Renjie City." โ
"The Ye family has five million people living in a huge city, and the number one family really lives up to its reputation. Zhan Chen sighed.
Ye Xingqian smiled slightly and said, "Senior brother is falsely praised, please follow me into the city." โ
