"You call me big brother?"

Ling Jiangtian looked at the figure that was slowly entering the council hall in surprise, and asked suspiciously.

The person who came in was a woman, dressed in a set of fiery red dresses, with fiery red boots on her feet, and a fiery red hairband tied on her forehead.

"Big brother, don't you recognize me?"

The woman almost stood face to face with Ling Jiangtian, with a hint of an arrogant smile on the corner of her mouth, and said unslowly.

"You ......"

Ling Jiangtian had a lot of guesses in his heart, and even thought of a possibility, but it was really difficult for him to connect the person in his memory with the woman in front of him, so he couldn't follow the word "you" anyway.

"Hehe, no wonder my eldest brother can't recognize me, after all, our brother and sister have been separated for more than ten years, and I was only so tall at that time. ”

The woman raised her right hand slightly, roughly measuring a height at her side, but not even her own waist.

And this action finally made Ling Jiangtian confirm that guess, and exclaimed in a loud voice: "Ling Ying!

His surprise was really extraordinary, because this Ling Ying was none other than his own sister, who was ten years younger than him, who was taken away by a strong female who suddenly visited the Ling clan more than ten years ago, and has not been heard from since, and has never returned.

"It seems that the eldest brother didn't really recognize me, but he wasn't so sure. ”

Ling Ying smiled brightly, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, and her demeanor became more and more heroic.

"You, really Ling Ying?"

Ling Jiangtian was startled and hesitated again, because he and this sister had indeed been separated for too long, Ling Ying was only a few years old when she was taken away, but now she was like this, in case it was not her, but someone pretended to be after learning about the situation, but it was difficult to tell the difference.

"Oh, big brother, still don't believe it?

Ling Ying raised her eyebrows, her heroic spirit became stronger and stronger, and she suddenly pulled up her left sleeve with her right hand, revealing a strange-shaped birthmark above the crook of her arm, and stretched it out generously for Ling Jiangtian to see.

"This ...... It's you, it's really you!"

As soon as Ling Jiangtian saw the birthmark, he had to believe it, because his sister did carry such a birthmark as soon as she was born, and he often played with his sister at the beginning, so he was naturally familiar with it.

It's just that Ling Ying used to have a weak personality, like a delicate flower that is about to be blown by the wind, but now she is like being reborn, with a chic personality like a man.

"You've ...... all these years"

After Ling Jiangtian finally confirmed that the person in front of him was his sister, he was about to ask a few words about the situation.

But Ling Ying interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, if you have anything to ask later, let me ask you one thing first, as soon as I came back, I heard that my father was seriously injured recently, and his cultivation strength has dropped significantly, and even the great patriarch can't do it, and the reason why he was injured was because he was instigated by you to participate in the huge war of the Cangyan Country, isn't it?"

She actually changed to a questioning tone in just a few words, Ling Jiangtian was stunned when she heard it, and looked at the elders around her with a frown, but saw that everyone was looking at their noses and noses, as if they didn't dare to interject.

This scene suddenly caused a strange feeling to rise in Ling Jiangtian's heart.

Could it be that this sister of his, who has been away for more than ten years, has already exercised her wings, and as soon as she returns to the clan, she dares to come and argue with her brother?

But what does she mean by doing this? It can't be that more than ten years of time have worn out her family affection and become a woman who has become a stranger, right?

"Speaking of my father's participation in the war, I do account for half of it," Ling Jiangtian was silent for a while, and finally nodded and replied, but then he changed his words, "But if you want to say that your father was injured, I don't think that I am responsible, then it is obviously Ouyang Heng's doing, you can't say that everyone who has been injured on the battlefield, or even died, has to blame me, right?"

He is now temporarily taking the position of the great patriarch, although he still has to be polite to many elders, and discuss everything that can be discussed, but correspondingly, all the elders are also very respectful to him, at least no one will question him in public.

So even if the person who spoke was his own sister, he must not lose this face, otherwise even the temporary patriarch would not be able to do it.

"Hehe, big brother, don't blame you for not talking about it for the time being, at least participating in that war and helping the royal family, this decision is very stupid, especially since I heard that the reason you listed at that time was about a person named Su Qin?"

Ling Ying's tone was aggressive, and she didn't mean to let Ling Jiangtian go at all.

"Stupid? Hmph, you weren't here at the time, why did you make such a judgment? As for the reason I said at that time, you can ask the elders here what kind of character Su Qin is, and then tell me whether I am right or not!"

Ling Jiangtian was choked by her, so even if the brother and sister had just reunited, he didn't mean to let his sister go.

"There's nothing to ask, isn't it just a young man with a little strength and means, it is said that whether the patriarch of the Su clan awakens, or the president of the Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce, Xia Chun, and even the lord of the country, Chen Nan, they all value him very much, even the eldest brother, you admire him very much, but this does not mean that he can be regarded as the number one person in my eyes. Ling Ying pursed her lips and said disdainfully, her tone unexpectedly loud.

"You, why do you dare to say that?"

Ling Jiangtian looked at her in shock, as if he really couldn't find anything familiar from her.

"Hmph, just because I also have the cultivation of the Yuan Fetal Realm, and I am stronger than him!"

Ling Ying raised her pointed chin proudly, and at the same time, the true yuan around her body swayed, revealing her strong cultivation as it was.

"The middle stage of the Yuan Fetal Realm!"

Ling Jiangtian was shocked again, he actually saw that his sister's cultivation was already the same as his father Ling Qiuhan before he was injured, and he had reached the middle stage of the Yuan Fetal Realm.

In such a realm, it is really stronger than Su Qin, but it is unknown who is higher and who is lower in real strength.

He is ten years younger than him, but his cultivation is much taller than his elder brother, and with a person like this, he has only seen one Su Qin in his life!

"Big brother, I remember that in the rules of our clan, it is not forbidden to let women serve as the great patriarch, and the first criterion for choosing the great patriarch is that the cultivation and qualifications must be strong enough, now that I am back, shouldn't you move your position?"

Seeing that her brother had been shocked, Ling Ying's expression became more and more proud and proud, and she threw out this explosive request.

"You want to replace me and become the new Great Patriarch yourself?"

It wasn't until this moment that Ling Jiangtian understood what Great Elder Ling Bin meant by what he was talking about.

He just thought that it was Ling Ying's sudden return, but he didn't expect that he was too naïve, and he was actually going to be seized by his own sister!

"What, big brother, you don't want to, you can't help it, I went to visit my father just now, his situation is that my sect can't help him recover, the position of the patriarch can only be fought for by the two of us, it's a big deal that you and my brother and sister will learn from each other, I will be merciful and point-to-point." ”

Ling Ying really didn't give him face at all, and the words he said were like steel nails piercing Ling Jiangtian's heart.

"Heh, what's there to learn, I'm afraid I can't even stop you with one hand. Come, I will not sit in this position anymore. ”

Ling Jiang Tian could have imagined that he had just gone to the Cangyan King's Palace to have a meeting with a group of leaders, and when he came back, he didn't even have the position of the great patriarch.

But the shape shì was stronger than the human, or to be precise, Ling Ying's fist was stronger than him, and he had to bow his head now.

So as he spoke, he stepped down from his position and was about to leave the chamber.

"Big brother, why are you leaving? Even if you are not the great patriarch, the position of an elder can always be affordable, and there is a vacant seat that I have prepared for you, you can go." ”

Ling Ying moved to the place where her brother had given up, and pointed to an empty chair not far from the hall door.

It turned out that there were a number of seats in this council hall, and there were as many seats as there were elders in the clan, plus a seat for the great patriarch.

And now that the elders were all present, there was still an extra chair at the end, Ling Jiangtian hadn't noticed it earlier, and now he knew that it was all arranged.

Sitting in the seat with a helpless and miserable smile, Ling Jiangtian didn't have the heart to listen to what his sister said at all, he was full of confusion about this matter, and he couldn't figure out what his sister had experienced over the years to make his character like this.

“...... Elders, originally I came out this time on the orders of my master to complete a task assigned to me by the sect, and by the way, I went back to the clan to visit my relatives, and I was supposed to go back, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came back, I would see so many things that made me dissatisfied, and my father was no longer able to come out to preside over the affairs of the clan, so I had already tried to summon my master and ask her to give me at least a year of grace, stay here and put the clan in order, and then go back......"

Ling Ying didn't say a few words, and gradually confided the truth, she didn't want to live in the Hui clan permanently, and she also joined an unknown sect, but I don't know if she wants to do it all the time before she robs this big patriarch today, or if she will hand it over again before returning to the sect.

However, she didn't say it herself, but no one dared to ask casually, because as soon as she returned to the clan, she directly expressed her very strong position, otherwise she would not have finalized the matter of depriving her brother of power and delegating him to an elder in the short period of time when Ling Jiangtian went to Cangyan City.

But others didn't dare to speak casually, but it didn't mean that Ling Jiangtian didn't dare either, after vaguely hearing these things in his sister's mouth, he suddenly had an idea, stood up suddenly, interrupted Ling Ying's talking, waved his hand and said, "Big ...... Great Patriarch, I announced something earlier, I don't know if you heard, about ......"

He quickly said again about the fact that the major forces of the Cangyan Country had agreed to establish a new clan for Su Qin, and then without waiting for Ling Ying to express his attitude, he continued: "I know that the Great Patriarch should not approve of this matter, so our Ling clan will no longer have to raise manpower and material resources for this matter, but even if these troublesome things are not done, after all, this is jointly agreed with the Lord Xi and others, and if you don't say anything, you have to inform it, and I am afraid that you will have to go on a trip in person!"
