Like a roundworm in Ye Lingtian's stomach, Wanyanyue patted him lightly. Please read the most complete!
"Don't lament the gap between the rich and the poor. If you weren't too capable, the family wouldn't play like this."
"These transmission circles are the accumulation of many generations of the Wanyan family. It has only been a few days since I met you, and it has been wasted forever."
Ye Lingtian smiled embarrassedly: "You really think highly of me."
Wan Yanyue threw Ye Lingtian a big sanitation ball, too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy.
Do you think highly of you, how clearly did you say that in the Chamber of Secrets?
Anyway, he is also a big shot who is about to rise. What are you talking about all day long? Not reliable!
Wanyan City was the second city Ye Lingtian saw when he arrived at the Immortal World.
As Wanyanyue said, compared to the silver-clad Shangyin City, Wanyan City has a different scenery.
There are flowers and trees, birds, fish and insects, just like heaven.
Bathed in the intoxicating warm wind, looking at the rippling Wanyan Lake, Ye Lingtian completely understood why Wanyanyue must use the spirit stone transmission system.
Three hours ago, it was winter in Shangyin City where he was, but Wanyan City was like spring all the year round.
Judging from the geographical knowledge of modern society, the two cities are separated by thousands of kilometers.
The Baihualin incident had a great impact. As long as the senior members of the Zhang family had a little sense of normalcy, they would understand that the Wanyan family might have done it.
Only the Wanyan family dared to do this.
If Wanyanyue led Ye Lingtian on a leisurely and leisurely journey, the Zhang family would make dumplings in who knows which town they arrived at.
In fact, in the eyes of the upper echelons of the aristocratic family who are so rich that they are relatively secular, Wanyan City and Shangyin City are not far apart.
Because according to the division of power in the Eastern Continent, the top ten aristocratic families are concentrated in one knot.
The middle-level fairy gates and the top-level fairy gates are concentrated in one area.
The extent of each party's control is closely linked to its strength.
Only then did Ye Lingtian have a clear understanding of how big the Eastern Continent was.
Liao Xuanyuan and the others were still very winking.
After leaving the secret room, he led Ximen Wuji along another road leading to the headquarters, leaving enough time and space for Ye Lingtian and Wanyanyue to be alone.
Walking by the bank of Wanyan Lake, Ye Lingtian stopped in his tracks when he saw reeds swaying in the wind inadvertently.
He thought of Yan Chuan, the conversation with Tianxue, and the movie.
Wan Yanyue saw that Ye Lingtian was in a daze, and asked with a smile, "Can't you see the scenery here in Shangyin City?"
Ye Lingtian hummed, sat down on the lake, and pointed to the reeds in the distance.
"Shangyin City also has a lake, and there are reeds in the lake, but not as many as here."
"But in winter, the bare reeds dot the lake, which looks very different from a distance."
"A friend of mine once said that it looks better if it snows."
Wan Yanyue looked down at Ye Lingtian, thoughtful.
"Wanyan City is like spring all the year round, and the reeds sometimes wither, and they will regenerate in a month or so."
"I haven't seen the scene you mentioned. I knew there was such a place in Shangyin City, so I went to see it."
Ye Lingtian looked up at Wanyanyue who was gently stroking her long hair, and said after a long time of consideration: "Didn't you just go to Shangyin City because you are used to seeing the scenery here?"
"I thought you've watched everything around Shangyin City, and you've lost everything you can play."
Wan Yanyue curled her lips, her words were full of resentment.
"That's really what I planned, but I ran into you just after the plan was made."
"You don't need me to tell you what will happen next, how can you have time to travel around?"
Ye Lingtian smiled apologetically: "I knew this before, so I went out with you for a walk yesterday."
Wan Yanyue quickly waved her hand: "Don't, if Zheng Xueyu's matter is not resolved, you will feel that way."
"At that time, you will slump your face and make everyone unhappy, so it's better not to go."
"People, after staying in one place for a long time, I always want to go to other places to see, but in the end I suddenly found out that at the end, I still..."
Ye Lingtian saw Wanyan Yue's face suddenly look a little sad, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just feel that no matter where I go, I'm still at home."
Wan Yanyue pulled Ye Lingtian up, and said seriously: "Even if there is still some time before the fourth elder's funeral, we can't make everyone wait too long in the ancestral mausoleum."
Ye Lingtian's expression turned serious immediately: "I see."
The burial customs in the fairy world are very different from those in modern society.
If members of the clan died in other places, their bones were generally buried on the spot.
According to the contribution of the deceased, the high-level family will put his spirit cards into different levels of ancestral halls.
In this world, people believe that souls live forever, and spirit cards are where souls gather.
In the Battle of Baihualin, the Wanyan family had an absolute advantage over the Zheng family and the Zhang family.
Under such conditions, the four elders all died, and Wan Yanyue, as the commander in chief, had an inescapable responsibility.
According to the tradition of the Wanyan family, Wanyan Yue was originally to be held accountable.
The problem is, Wanyanyue brought Ye Lingtian back to Wanyan City.
With the strength of a Huang-level spiritual cultivator to refine the Nine Heavens Cultivation Pill, this news must be hidden from many people in the Wanyan family, but the higher-ups cannot hide it.
With such gods and men, not to mention sacrificing one of the fourth elders, even if the third and second elders die together, it is worthwhile in the hearts of the Wanyan family's senior management.
Coupled with the relationship between Wanyanyue and Ye Lingtian, Wanyanyue's mistakes are doubled, and the senior management of Wanyan's family can accept it.
With Wanyanyue around, Ye Lingtian was tied to a warship with the Wanyan family.
Taking a step back, even if Wanyan Yuexiang disappeared one day, Ye Lingtian's identity would not change in the slightest.
He is still a member of the Wanyan family, and he is still the biggest weight for the Wanyan family to take off.
Looking at the solemn faces of the crowd, Wan Yanyue leaned closer to Ye Lingtian without leaving a trace.
We have been working together for a while, how could Ye Lingtian not know what Wanyanyue meant?
This girl seems careless and has no shape, but she is actually the best at setting off smoke bombs, and she is smarter than anyone else in private.
Walking up to Wanyan Zhi who was dressed in white, Ye Lingtian bowed and saluted: "My lord, the fourth elder is here because of me."
Before Ye Lingtian could finish speaking, Wanyanzhi waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Ye's words are wrong. The Fourth Elder didn't die because of you, but because of Wanyan's family."
"The Battle of Baihualin was a prudent decision of the Wanyan family's senior management, and it was also a prudent decision of the family to appoint Wanyanyue as the commander-in-chief."
"Fourth Elder died a worthy death!"
As soon as the words fell, the clansmen who came to the ancestral mausoleum knelt on one knee, lowered their heads, and said nothing.
A middle-aged woman in sackcloth and filial piety came slowly, holding the spirit tablet of the Fourth Elder, her eyes were filled with sadness, but also a little pride and pride.
From her expression, Ye Lingtian saw the background of the Wanyan family, and also understood the real gap between the Zheng family and the Wanyan family.
Wan Yanzhi took it with both hands, and bowed deeply to the middle-aged woman.
"The sacrifice of the Fourth Elder has been engraved in the Wanyan family's hearts for generations."
The middle-aged woman nodded slightly, then knelt down on one knee, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Ye Lingtian felt a little guilty, and wanted to comfort her, but on this occasion, it was better to remain solemn.
Holding the spirit tablet of the Fourth Elder, Wanyan Zhi walked up to Ye Lingtian and said solemnly: "Young Master Ye, you will send the spirit tablet of the Fourth Elder to the ancestral mausoleum."
When Ye Lingtian heard this, he almost fainted.
He looked at Wanyan Zhi, then at Wanyan Yue, with his mouth wide open.
Wan Yanyue kicked his calf viciously, meaning to let you go if you let him go, what are you doing there in a daze?
Ye Lingtian felt that there were some things that had to be said clearly, so he whispered: "Master Patriarch, it's not appropriate for me to do this, it should be you."
Wan Yanzhi shook his head, and said seriously: "If the Fourth Elder is not elected, I should indeed let him go."
"The high-level meeting of the Wanyan family made a decision just now. Mr. Ye is the new fourth elder of the Wanyan family. According to the tradition of the Eastern Continent, you can only come here."
Ye Lingtian's physical predecessor was also a member of the family at any rate, so he naturally understood the minimum rules.
It's just that the Wanyan family, as the second-ranked family, decided to make themselves the fourth elder of the Wanyan family without even considering their own character.
This decision was a bit abrupt, and this move was too steep.
Seeing that Ye Lingtian did not answer for a long time, the clansmen kneeling on one knee turned their attention to Ye Lingtian and Wanyanzhi.
Obviously such a picture is rare in the Wanyan family history.
Wan Yanyue became anxious, and glared at Ye Lingtian fiercely, meaning don't talk nonsense, just do whatever is asked of you at this juncture.
Ye Lingtian turned his head to look at the Fourth Elder's wife who was kneeling on one knee, and gave Wanyanyue a wink.
The Fourth Elder died because of me, and I immediately became the Fourth Elder. No matter how you look at it, this thing seems weird, so no one will make irresponsible remarks?
Before Wan Yanyue could speak, the middle-aged woman knelt on one knee wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at Ye Lingtian, and her words were full of sincerity.
"Master Ye, please send my husband's spirit card to the ancestral mausoleum."
"His departure is for the prosperity of the Wanyan family, don't let his blood flow in vain!"
It has come to this point, no matter how much Ye Lingtian babbles, no one can see it.
Taking the spirit card from Wanyan Zhi, Ye Lingtian took heavy steps, and according to the rules of the Eastern Continent, placed the spirit card of the four elders next to the former patriarch.
As the fourth elder, to receive such treatment, in the eyes of the aristocratic family, death is considered worthy.
It's just that Ye Lingtian didn't like it no matter what he thought. When he came out of Zu Ling, he looked at the clansmen and sighed softly.
The last item of the funeral was for Ye Lingtian to read the eulogy.
It was obvious that Ye Lingtian had a hard time coping with such an occasion.
Wan Yanzhi was very thoughtful, and had already done enough preparations.
Looking at the ink-stained mourning book in his hand, Ye Lingtian hesitated for a while, and closed it gently.
Wanyan Zhi hurriedly bumped into Wanyan Yue, meaning that at this juncture, Ye Lingtian won't make any mistakes, right?
Wanyanyue gave Wanyanzhi a reassuring look, and looked at Ye Lingtian who was standing aloof not far away.
You are good everywhere, but you always pretend to be affectionate in your heart. This character, whether it is good or bad, is really bad.
Ye Lingtian took a deep breath, looked up at the blue sky, and said loudly: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't be standing here."
"My identity is not suitable, and my ability has not been certified by all the clansmen. I believe that most clansmen should have no objection to this point."
