Chapter 896: The Battle of the Leaders

Li Ping politely continued to wait for him outside, Shen Yifan couldn't go home and pop with Masako again in this situation, so he had to hug Masako and Fluttershy and kiss him, explain some things, and come out to see Li Ping.

Li Ping was really anxious here, and at his request, Shen Yifan didn't drive by himself, but got on the Daben of the Qingguo Group and went all the way to Li Heyuan's residence.

……

……

A lot of people have gathered around Li Heyuan's residence, and the head of the Qingcheng faction is dying, in addition to many people who want to visit the old man, it will also bring a series of questions, the most important of which is who will be the new head.

According to the tradition of the Qingcheng faction, several elders-level figures who are currently serving as elders are actually not qualified to compete for the next head, unless the head dies unexpectedly, there will be a law enforcement elder to temporarily take over the position of head, otherwise the responsibility of the elders is only to assist the new head to take over smoothly and maintain the stability within the sect.

Li Heyuan naturally wanted to pass on the position of head to his only relative, Li Yinshuang, so he trained Li Yinshuang strictly since he was a child, and let Li Ping, the best in the Mesozoic Era, serve as Li Yinshuang's personal bodyguard leader for a long time to protect her in all aspects.

He has always insisted on the position of the head of the house, even if he is over ninety years old, he still does not dare to relax a bit, just to wait for Li Yinshuang to grow up as soon as possible, so that she can take over smoothly.

It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, Li Yinshuang is only nineteen years old, far from the age to be able to serve the public, and his strength is only the fourth grade, and Li Heyuan's physical condition has already deteriorated sharply, and he can't continue to persevere.

Recently, the other elders seemed to care about his body and came to greet him every day, but in fact, the purpose was to force him to make a decision as soon as possible and choose an heir.

This is also something that can't be helped, not to mention how long he can live, his current state is that he can only lie in bed and recuperate, and he has no ability to take charge of the Qingcheng faction at all, if he doesn't choose the next head for a long time, the Qingcheng faction will be in chaos.

But if he appoints Li Yinshuang as his heir, the other elders have the right to oppose it, and as long as the candidate for the head of the sect pushed by the elders can defeat Li Yinshuang, the position of head will be sidelined.

Among the Xiuzhen sects, the strength is still the first, if the strength of the head is insufficient, how can he lead the sect to gain a foothold in the master Xiuzhen world?

What's more, the Qingcheng faction's current situation is very delicate, among the sects that are still active, they are the only ones who have not joined the war as a whole, and have always maintained relative independence.

It is Li Heyuan's consistent persistence that the Qingcheng faction has been able to get to this point, and if the new head does not have enough ability, I am afraid that the Qingcheng faction will soon be swayed by others, and will either be forcibly incorporated into the war, or it will be disintegrated from the inside, and it will fall apart from then on. In any case, for the government, the weaker the independent sect, the better.

Among the four elders at present, law enforcement elder Li Guangliang has always looked forward to Li Heyuan's horse and horse leader, and he also supports Li Yinshuang's succession the most.

His point of view is that Li Yinshuang is a rare cultivation genius in a hundred years, as long as she is given enough time to grow, she can fully reach the strength of the first grade, which is enough to be the head of the Qingcheng faction. Anyway, with a few of their elders here, it would not be a problem to assist her for a few years.

But the other three elders all have different opinions on this, regardless of how far Li Yinshuang can reach in the future, at present, her strength is completely unable to take over the position of the head, it is better to let a powerful person take over the head first, and when Li Yinshuang can really reach the first-grade level, it is not too late to hand over the position of head to her.

In particular, Li Cunyi, the elder of Gonggong, did not shy away from his relatives and elected his son Li Jianbo as the candidate for the head of the family.

Among the other two elders, Elder Li Hanliang fully supports Li Jianbo, who is the strength of the third grade, as the new leader, while the Guardian Elder Li Guozhong has an unclear attitude, but he also prefers to let the stronger juniors be the head.

Li Heyuan understands that if he doesn't decide on the candidate for head of the family before he goes to the immortal, and when he dies, Li Yinshuang, who only has the support of Li Guangliang, will not be able to compete with Li Jianbo no matter what.

The problem is that Shen Yifan's master reminded him that there were people within the Qingcheng faction who colluded with Dongying ninjas, so he would make trouble about Li Yinshuang's kidnapping, and after the investigation of his cronies secretly assigned, the biggest suspicion was Li Cunyi.

Li Cunyi and Li Guangliang are both in the strength of the second grade, and they are very close to Li Hanliang, who is from the strength of the second grade, and in the case that Li Heyuan has no combat power, it is extremely risky to expose his true face, not to mention that the evidence is not sufficient.

can let the Qingcheng faction completely fall into the hands of their side, and Li Heyuan can be said to be dead.

After discussing with Li Guangliang, they decided to support Li Ping to succeed to the position of head, they trusted Li Ping, and at the right time, Li Ping would definitely give up the position of head to Li Yinshuang.

Moreover, Li Ping's strength is also the third grade, and he can often suppress Li Jianbo, who is already in his forties, and has a good reputation in the faction, so he is fully qualified to serve as the head of the house.

However, Li Ping himself did not agree with this arrangement.

He decided to discuss with Li Jianbo in private, and asked him to take the initiative to give up the competition for the position of leader, so that Li Yinshuang could take over smoothly.

Li Jianbo naturally would not give up easily, and after the two argued, they decided to have a private discussion to see who had the strength to be elected as the leader.

Unexpectedly, this time Li Ping lost completely, which is why he looked very bad today, he suffered an internal injury last time and has not recovered.

He couldn't figure out why Li Jianbo, who had always been weaker than himself, had grown by leaps and bounds, and had reached the level of a second-grade person, and he could tell that Li Jianbo did not rely on drugs such as Bodhi Juyuan Dan, but purely relied on strength.

Even he couldn't win against Li Jianbo, let alone Li Yinshuang, and now their side supporting Li Yinshuang could be said to be completely in a desperate situation.

When he was in the car, Li Ping told Shen Yifan everything that had happened recently.

He didn't treat Shen Yifan as an outsider, but Shen Yifan didn't understand that even Li Ping himself couldn't defeat an opponent, so what was the use of coming to him? Not to mention that this was an internal struggle of the Qingcheng faction, and outsiders were not qualified to interfere at all.

Li Ping didn't answer his question, so Shen Yifan didn't ask anymore, and everything would be clear when he met Li Heyuan.

……

……

Li Ping's Daben drove all the way to the door of the main villa where Li Heyuan lived, and when Shen Yifan got out of the car, he felt all kinds of eyes from many Qingcheng sect people.

Everyone in the Qingcheng faction didn't understand, what was Li Ping's intention in bringing such a kid with all his might, could it be that relying on such a college student at most a fourth-grade level could reverse Li Yinshuang's current very unfavorable situation?

Shen Yifan didn't have time to pay attention to those suspicious eyes, and followed Li Ping into the house.

In the hall, sitting the elders of the Qingcheng faction and their cronies, what is surprising is that Shen Wanying's ex-boyfriend Zhang Guanghao is actually also in the hall, standing behind the sofa respectfully.

On the sofa in front of Zhang Guanghao sat an old man with a red face, the old man was burly, with silver hair pulled into a bun, and he looked like he was in his sixties.

Even if this person is not Zhang Guanghao's father, Zhang Tianzhou, the head of the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain, is also a figure with a good status in Longhu Mountain.

The internal affairs of the Qingcheng faction, Longhushan actually sent elder-level people to participate, giving people the feeling that their hands were stretched out a little longer, just looking at the situation in the hall, the people sent by Longhushan had already been recognized by several elders of the Qingcheng faction, except for Li Guangliang, the other elders did not show hostility.

Out of courtesy, Li Ping took Shen Yifan to meet the bigwigs in the hall.

First of all, the law enforcement elder Li Guangliang, he and Li Ping are both staunch supporters of Li Yinshuang, although they don't understand why Li Heyuan named Shen Yifan when he was seriously ill, but since Li Heyuan made this request, he must resolutely implement it, so he has great goodwill towards Shen Yifan.

followed by Li Cunyi, the second-ranked Elder of the Four Elders, he naturally didn't have a good face for Shen Yifan, the new head should be in the bag of his son Li Jianbo, no matter how Li Heyuan moved the rescue troops, it would be useless, so for Shen Yifan, who Li Heyuan had to meet before he died, he only had contempt for him except curiosity.

Shen Yifan's contemptuous attitude towards Li Cunyi was angry, Lao Tzu finally went home, and he didn't have time to make love with his woman, so he was invited to Qingcheng to send it, if you are entertained with good food and drink, then your heart is still comfortable, but you still give Lao Tzu a face?

He glanced at Li Cunyi calmly on the surface, and then looked at Li Jianbo, who was standing behind Li Cunyi with a grim face, thinking that if he had a chance, he must beat these two guys hard and let them kneel down and call Dad!

The next apologetic elder Li Guozhong and Shen Yifan knew that when he went to Modongge to participate in the indiscriminate fighting competition with Shen Wanying and Li Yinshuang, Li Guozhong was responsible for protecting Li Yinshuang's safety.

Li Guozhong also has a good impression of Shen Yifan, so his attitude is very friendly.

Another treasure-holding elder, Li Hanliang, had already supported Li Cunyi's father and son, and of course he didn't have a good face for Shen Yifan.

As for the one from Longhu Mountain, it turned out to be Elder Zhang Tianjiang, he and Zhang Guanghao looked at Shen Yifan with a playful look, and it seemed that they also couldn't figure out why Li Heyuan regarded Shen Yifan as a lifesaver.

Although this kid has indeed had a lot of highlight moments in the past two years, and his status in the war has increased year by year, after all, he is not yet twenty years old, and his strength is limited, what waves can he make?

After greeting the elders in the hall, Shen Yifan was taken to Li Heyuan's bedroom on the third floor, and the current Li Heyuan was bedridden.

There are not many people in the bedroom, there is Li Sanli, the housekeeper who has followed Li Heyuan since childhood, several medical staff, and the rest is Li Yinshuang, who is currently in the center of the whirlpool.

Li Yinshuang wore a long black dress, and it seemed that she rarely saw such a dressing style.

The long black dress made her skin whiter, especially the slender neck, which was like a white swan, which was moving.

Her beautiful eyes have been crying until they are red and swollen, Li Heyuan is her only blood relative now, and now she is going to leave her, which makes her feel helpless, not to mention that if the position of head is taken away by Li Jianbo, she doesn't know what kind of future awaits her.
