After a pause, Qin Yan continued: "However, keeping an eye on Situ Zhaoran must also be secret, and he must not be found out." When the time is right, let's do it. ”

"Don't worry, Master, I know what to do. Xing Tian nodded and said.

"By the way, how much do you know about those people in the Council of Elders?" Qin Yan asked instead.

Xing Tian was stunned and said, "The door master is talking about those old guys?"

"I don't think you're too happy with them. Qin Yan smiled and said.

"It can't be said that they are dissatisfied, but they feel that their existence does not help Tianmen in any way, and even has a certain counterproductive force. Originally, the purpose of the Elders Council set up by Tianmen was to be able to restrain the power of the gate master, so that Tianmen would not become a hall of words. However, with the rapid development of Tianmen in recent years, the existence of the Presbyterian Church has gradually become an obstacle to the progress of Tianmen. These people are constantly fighting openly and secretly for some personal interests or power, which makes the internal turmoil of Tianmen. Thirty years ago, the people of the Council of Elders had tried to depose the Master of the Mo Old Sect, and even set off a bloody battle within the Heavenly Gate. If it weren't for the main force of Mo Laomen at that time to turn the tide, maybe Tianmen would have been destroyed now. Afterwards, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, the old Mo sect master only punished the elders slightly, and the matter was calmed down. Xingtian said.

Qin Yan was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand why the old guy was so angry when he mentioned the Council of Elders, and he didn't have a good impression of those old gangsters. "Thirty years, so much time has passed, those old guys may have forgotten what happened back then. You say, could Situ Zhaoran's matter also be related to them?" Qin Yan asked.

"I don't know. If it is according to the inference of the sect master, if Situ Zhaoran really has the same party, it is very likely that there are people in the Council of Elders who support him. But all this is just speculation, and there is no evidence at all. The Lord, if in my opinion, should abolish the Presbyterian Church. The times are advancing, and Tianmen may keep pace with the times, but if it is still the same as before, it will only be slowly eliminated by society. Xingtian said.

"The old man called me, and when he mentioned the Presbyterian Church, his tone was obviously very dissatisfied, and although he did not say it, I know that he also acquiesced in my removal of the Presbyterian Council. However, this is never a trivial matter, and if you are not careful, it may lead to even greater riots. Even if the presbytery is to be abolished, there must be a suitable reason, and it must not be taken rashly. You help me keep an eye on it, if someone in the Council of Elders really colludes with Situ Zhaoran, then we have a suitable reason to abolish the Council of Elders, and they will not be able to object to it at that time. Qin Yan said.

Xing Tian was silent for a moment and said, "The master of the sect believes in me so much, aren't you afraid that I will be the same as Situ Zhaoran?"

With a faint smile, Qin Yan said, "Although I don't know you well, I know that anyone in the Heavenly Gate may betray, but you won't." ”

Xing Tian was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Why are you so sure?"

"The Law Enforcement Hall is a very independent existence of the Heavenly Gate, and I believe that the education you have received since childhood will not let you betray the Heavenly Gate. More importantly, maybe it's a tacit understanding in your heart, and I'm sure you won't betray it. There is no reason, there is no reason, it is a trust. If one day you really betray the Heavenly Gate, then you can only blame me for being blind. Qin Yan said lightly.

Xing Tian glanced at Qin Yan in a daze and said, "I will abide by my own standards and stick to my beliefs." The Law Enforcement Hall is responsible for monitoring not only other hall masters, but also the door masters, if one day I find out that the door master has also done something harmful to the heavenly gate, I will also deal with it according to the door rules. ”

"Well, I'm sure there won't be this day. Qin Yan smiled slightly and said.

Perhaps, Xingtian is not good at meeting horses, and perhaps, Xingtian's words sound a little cold and ruthless. However, it was his honesty and tenacity that made Qin Yan trust him even more. Such a person will at least not do anything that harms the gate of heaven because of his own interests.

"I don't want to see that day either. Xingtian said.

After a pause, Xing Tian slowly got up and said, "I will keep an eye on the matter, and I will tell you as soon as there is news." Master, if there's nothing to do, I'll take my leave!"

"Okay, be careful. Qin Yan instructed.

Sending Xingtian away, Qin Yan's brows frowned deeper and deeper. If, as Xing Tian said, the Council of Elders has become a stumbling block that hinders the progress of the Heavenly Gate, then it must be removed. Not long after taking over Tianmen, wouldn't it be appropriate to make such a big move? This can be regarded as some sequelae left by the old guy, right?

Sighing silently, Qin Yan returned to the sofa and sat down, lit a cigarette, and kept thinking about the affairs of Tianmen in his mind. Although the deeper he understood Tianmen, the more Qin Yan felt that the water in Tianmen was too deep and too deep, and it seemed that there was still a long way to go if he wanted to truly control Tianmen.

Hearing the sound coming from behind, Qin Yan turned his head. Ouyang Jingcheng looked depressed, thinking that it was because the sequelae of the silver needle puncture had not yet faded.

"What's wrong, you killed Ling Yunxiao and avenged the Ouyang family, you should be happy, why are you still frowning. Qin Yan was stunned and asked in surprise.

"I knew I should be happy, but I don't know why I just couldn't. In the past ten years, I only have the word revenge in my mind, and I always think about revenge. However, after really killing Ling Yunxiao, I suddenly felt as if I had lost my goal. Moreover, I don't have any joy in my heart, and this kind of fighting on the rivers and lakes never seems to stop. Ouyang Jingcheng said.

Slightly stunned, Qin Yan said: "I can understand your feelings, no matter what, the matter has passed, don't think about it anymore." What are you going to do in the future?"

After pondering for a moment, Ouyang Jingcheng took a deep breath and said, "I have lost too much and given up too much for revenge over the years, and I don't want to have regrets in my life in the future." In the days to come, I want to slowly get back what I lost and live a simple and ordinary life. ”

"Well, simplicity is bliss, plainness is true. Qin Yan said.

"Thank you, it's just that I may not be able to pay you back for the rest of my life. If there is an afterlife, I will be a cow and a horse to repay you for this kindness. Ouyang Jingcheng said apologetically.

He smiled, Qin Yan said, "If it's a brother, you don't have to say these words. Seeing that you can live a healthy and happy life is the happiest thing for me. ”
