The old patriarch shook his head again and said, " This is not clear, except that the first person with the strongest bloodline was personally given the blood of the strong by the strong man, and his descendants are just inheriting the bloodline, descendants for generations, there is no specific way to determine who is the inheritor of the strongest bloodline, and at the same time, the bloodline of the strong man seems to be among the descendants of the clan, and there is no more outstanding performance, so it can only be said that the bloodline inheritance of the clansman is the awakened, because only after casting the summoning secret method, if the boundary monument reacts, it will stimulate the bloodline of the strongest bloodline inheritor, and at that time, a totemic mark will appear on his body, that is, the awakened。 ”

"And according to the performance of the bloodline inheritance of the past dynasties, as the inheritor of the bloodline of the strong, the performance of the cultivation talent is much better than that of the same clan, and at the beginning, the strong man was a man, so the inheritance of the bloodline also tends to be male, among the people surnamed Ye today, only Ye Fei of the Ye Tian family and Ye Dong of the Ye Wen family have outstanding cultivation talents, and I am also inclined to these two children!"

"It's hard to say this, since it's an awakened person, it means that the bloodline has not yet awakened, which has nothing to do with whether the cultivation talent is high or not, it is very likely that it is a person who has no cultivation talent at all, because the bloodline of the strong suppresses people, but it makes the bloodline inheritor unable to cultivate normally, but once the bloodline awakens, it will be different!"

Ling Yun said his opinion.

The old patriarch and several old clansmen all showed a sudden look, before, they did think that the bloodline inheritor should have extraordinary talent, but in fact, if the bloodline has not awakened, it makes no difference between talent and non-talent.

"The patriarch didn't just call me so that I could hear you tell you about the secrets of the clan, right?"

Ling Yun looked at the old patriarch with a smile, according to what he knew about the old patriarch, throwing out the clan secret was just a foreshadowing.

The old patriarch said faintly: "Ling Shaoxia, I do have a reluctant request, and I hope that Ling Shaoxia can agree, I know that my clan has received too much help from Shaoxia, you have brought great changes to my clan, so that the clansmen are now more powerful, and their horizons have also been opened, originally, I should not rely on you too much, but this is also the moment of life and death for my clan, so I also asked Ling Shaoxia once!"

Ling Yun smiled helplessly: "Patriarch, you are going to see the outside! I have already mingled with the clansmen, and now, I am also a member of the clan, the rise and fall of the entire village is related to me, and I will also do my part, if you have any requests, just say it!"

The old patriarch said with emotion: "At the beginning, our clan thought that the appearance of Ling Shaoxia might cause a crisis in our clan, but in fact, this crisis was never far away from our clan? For example, this time, if Ling Shaoxia is not there, then Duolong forcibly stepping into my village will definitely cause heavy casualties to our clan, which has nothing to do with Ling Shaoxia at all, but this disaster still happened to my clan, so this makes me understand one thing, everything is destined in fate, don't be too entangled, now look at it, Ling Shaoxia clearly appeared to save my clan, you are the patron saint of my clan!"

"Patriarch, your words are serious, how can I do it?"

Ling Yun said modestly.

The old patriarch said: "Ling Shaoxia, I came to you and told you one of the biggest secrets of my clan, in fact, I want you to lead the clansmen and lead them, hoping to let the clansmen get through this crisis......"

"Patriarch, I didn't say it before, this is absolutely unacceptable, after all, I am a person with a foreign surname, this is not suitable, and besides, no one can replace your prestige among the clansmen!"

Ling Yun's expression sank, he was most afraid that this old patriarch would put the burden of protecting the clansmen on himself, to be honest, this burden was not a burden of one or two, a village, more than one hundred and fifty people, old and young, could not take into account everyone's safety at all.

The old patriarch said: " No, Ling Shaoxia misunderstood, I didn't mean that, of course, I was not qualified to ask Ling Shaoxia to lead our clan, but there was a small request, it was like this, after the resolution of me and Ye Tong and their five elders, it was decided to choose Ye Ling as the successor of the next patriarch of our clan, which will be announced to the clansmen in the next few days, however, Ling Shaoxia knows that Ye Ling's age is too young, whether it is the realm or leadership ability, the prestige among the clansmen has not yet been established, especially, Ye Ling, as a female clansman, if she wants to sit more firmly in the position of patriarch and be more able to convince the public, it is even more necessary to show her strong strength, at present, among all the younger generations of clansmen, as far as Ye Ling's talent is the best, her cultivation speed is also the fastest, and she has steadily become the leader of the younger generation, however, for the middle-aged and young clansmen, her current realm is still a bit unreasonable, plus the problem of age, so, as the patriarch at present, she may face the criticism of some clansmen!"

"The patriarch means ......"

Ling Yun's brows furrowed slightly.

The old patriarch said: "What I mean is that I hope that Ling Shaoxia, as Ye Ling's mentor, will help Ye Ling preside over the position of patriarch!"

"Isn't this making me the patriarch?"

Ling Yun said helplessly.

One of the five old clansmen said: " Ling Shaoxia, you misunderstood, the patriarch didn't let you be the patriarch, and we announced to the clan that we would not let Ye Ling become the patriarch immediately, but announced that she would become the heir of the patriarch, as for the current patriarch, it was taken into account that in case the patriarch was gone, at least someone should preside over the overall situation or something, so, Ling Shaoxia, you are the most suitable person to preside over the overall situation, we will say to the clansmen that you are Ye Ling's mentor, and the honorary elder of our clan elected by the patriarch, before Ye Ling becomes an adult, assist Ye Ling to lead our clan!"

Of course, Ling Yun refused in his heart, and at the same time felt a little surprised, these old guys didn't look at the usual smile and grin, but they didn't expect that they had already secretly discussed some countermeasures, which was still in disguise to win over themselves to become the guardians of the Ye clan.

Honorary Elders?

Assist Ye Ling before he becomes an adult?

This is actually delegating power directly to yourself!

Of course, it's not that the patriarchal rights of such a small clan can't be interesting at all, but the sense of responsibility to ensure the safety of more than a hundred people will overwhelm people.

Especially in such a desolate world, he didn't know what the specific strength of the strong man was, so he didn't know how to operate to protect these innocent clansmen.

"Patriarch...... Okay, I can grant you this request, but I want to explain in advance that it is impossible to wait until Ye Ling reaches adulthood, but I promise that if I can make Ye Ling strong enough, I will leave when the time comes, because I have my own business to do!"

Of course, Ling Yun would not be fooled by the old patriarch, and when Ye Ling became an adult, it would be a long time later, and it would be impossible for him to stay in this village for a long time.

"No, Ling Shaoxia, we didn't mean that, we didn't want you to stay in your clan, but we wanted you to let Ye Ling and even more children of our clan follow you as much as possible, so that they can grow up as soon as possible, and they can follow you out to practice...... Of course, that's all for later, and now, we have to get through the current difficulties first!"

An old clansman said worriedly.

"Patriarch, I think you're thinking a little far, your realm still has a lot of room for improvement, and your age will increase by hundreds of years, as the patriarch, you can at least lead your clan for a long time, you don't need to announce the patriarch's heir prematurely, this is a bit like explaining the future...... Do you think you're going to think you're going to have something wrong?"

Ling Yun thought that this old patriarch should be afraid of encountering accidents, so he had to explain in advance.

The old patriarch looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "I have made the worst plan this time, the Great Banner Tribe is not good, and I will not stop if I don't annex my clan, and at that time, it will become inevitable to unlock the sealing power of the boundary monument, if that happens, I will probably not be able to save it...... This is also a sacrifice that a patriarch must make!"

"Sacrifice, will it be ...... to break the seal?"

"Patriarch, it's not good, it's not good...... The sentry brought back news that a large number of troops had come from outside the village and were surrounding us......"

Before Ling Yun could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an anxious voice from outside the secret room. (To be continued.) )
