Chapter 1071: Gu Baihong's funeral
Following!
Early morning!
Qin Yan led Duan Nan and Xingtian to Gu Baihong's villa to pay respects!
As the patriarch of Tianmen, Gu Baihong has made a lot of contributions to Tianmen in his life, and has dedicated his life to Tianmen, no matter who is right or wrong about Mo Li, from the moment he decides to support Qin Yan to cancel the Elders, no matter how many mistakes he has, he should be forgiven.
Such a person is worthy of respect.
As the master of Tianmen, how could Qin Yan not participate in Gu Baihong's funeral?
In accordance with Gu Baihong's last wishes, his funeral was relatively simple, and many people did not notify him. In addition to those elders before Tianmen, there were only Qin Yan, Duan Nan, and Xingtian.
Gu Baihong's subordinates knelt in front of Gu Baihong's body as filial sons and performed filial piety.
After kowtowing, the filial son returned the salute. Qin Yan hurriedly helped them up and asked softly, "Do the other elders know that Gu Gu was killed?"
"Hmm. Xiaozi nodded.
Looking at the expressions of those elders again, there didn't seem to be much sadness, and even, there was no impulse to come over and ask Qin Yan why he didn't find out the cause of Gu Baihong's death and avenge him. Could it be that they still resented Gu Baihong's decision to support Qin Yan's decision to abandon the Council of Elders in the first place?
They were in the Presbyterian Church, and they were in positions of great power and had real power. And now, although they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and the gate of heaven will support them, they don't have any real power. It is understandable that they have a grudge against Gu Baihong in their hearts.
"Find someone to keep an eye on these old fellows, I see they are still haunted by the abolition of the Council of Elders. Now that Gu Baihong, who was able to shock them, has passed away, maybe something will happen to them. I don't want any turmoil in Tianmen, if they live their lives in peace, they will be able to eat and drink well, but if they are uneasy and plotting against each other, you can deal with it as you like. Qin Yan turned his head to look at Xingtian and whispered.
"Understood. Xing Tian nodded slightly.
Gu Baihong's death had already made Qin Yan feel uneasy, and he felt that there was a powerful force behind him. At such a moment, Tianmen must not have any turmoil, otherwise, it will inevitably give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of. And these former members of the Presbyterian Church must also be the easiest people to take advantage of.
Seeing Qin Yan coming, none of those elders took the initiative to come forward to greet him, as if they didn't know Qin Yan at all. Obviously, they didn't recognize Qin Yan as the master of the door.
Although the Council of Elders existed as an independent department of the Heavenly Gate, there was still a distinction between dignity and inferiority. If they are lower than the master of the door in the list of powers, they should also bow when they see the master of the door. And today's performance had to make Qin Yan feel that they had a grudge. Such people are potential threats.
However, Qin Yan couldn't deal a heavy blow to them without any evidence, after all, they were all once heroes of Tianmen, and doing so would only chill the hearts of the Tianmen brothers, and it was more likely to force them to rebel. Nowadays, the only thing that can be done is to spy on them.
Although he is a son of heaven and a courtier, he can't do too much.
"There's a guest here!"
As the emcee's words fell, everyone's eyes looked at it in unison.
Qin Yan couldn't help but be shocked, his eyes looked at Duan Nan and Xingtian, and the eyes of the two of them were also full of surprise. Indeed, Duanmu Wenhao's arrival was somewhat unexpected.
Walking in front of Gu Baihong's body, Duanmu Wenhao looked at it in a daze, and bowed respectfully. It's also genuine, not contrived.
"Why is he here?" Xing Tian frowned.
"Does the fact that he can come to Gu Baihong's funeral means that our speculation is wrong?" Qin Yan said hesitantly.
Not necessarily, moreover, confirms our speculation. He just happened to appear in Dragon City, why didn't he help us deal with the eldest grandson Wuwu? His cultivation is above Gu Baihong, isn't it more proof that Gu Baihong may have died at his hands?" Xing Tian said.
Qin Yan was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, it was not unreasonable.
"Duanmu Wenhao, how dare you come here?" an elder shouted, and stood up with a "whew", staring at him.
"Gu Baihong is my senior brother, why can't I come to worship him?" Duanmu Wenhao said lightly.
"Of course not, you are a traitor to the Heavenly Gate, you don't need to cry here and fake mercy, I'm afraid that the ancient death can't be separated from you, right?
"What do you know? It's just a waste of words to tell you, and I don't need to give you any explanation. I'm just here today to worship my brother, and now that the worship is over, it's time for me to leave. After speaking, Duanmu Wenhao turned around and walked out.
And none of those elders dared to step forward to stop them.
They, in front of Duanmu Wenhao, are undoubtedly grasshoppers shaking trees, how easy is it to talk about?
Qin Yan was stunned for a moment, and was about to get up and call Duanmu Wenhao, but was stopped by Duan Nan.
Shaking his head slightly, Duan Nan said, "This is not the place to speak. ”
Qin Yan was slightly stunned and sat down again.
Indeed, Duanmu Wenhao helped them deal with the curse, and these elders did not know about it. If the matter between him and Duanmu Wenhao is revealed at this time, it is very likely to cause misunderstanding among those elders, and they will think that he, the sect master, is colluding with Duanmu Wenhao, a traitor, and it is likely to cause unnecessary waves.
After taking a step, Duanmu Wenhao turned his head to look at Qin Yan, threw him a look, and then left without looking back.
"Qin Yan!" the elder shouted sharply, "As the master of the Heavenly Gate, you watched the ancient murderer leave, but you did nothing. Are you worthy of the ancients, worthy of the ancients, and will not hesitate to support you in abandoning the Presbyterian Church?"
"There is no evidence yet that he killed the ancients. Qin Yan replied.
"Even if there is no evidence that Gu Gu was killed by him, Duanmu Wenhao has always been a traitor to Tianmen. As the master of the Heavenly Gate, is it your duty to get rid of this traitor?If you let him go like this, how can you be qualified to be the master of this gate?" the elder roared angrily.
"You are also from the Heavenly Gate, and you also have the responsibility to help the Heavenly Gate eliminate the traitors, why didn't you do it?" Duan Nan laughed disdainfully and sneered at each other.
The elder couldn't help but be stunned, speechless, not knowing how to refute.
Indeed, they also have this responsibility and obligation.
