The voice of the old pavilion master also became softer and softer. In the end, he seemed to be unable to bear the disappointment in his beloved disciple's eyes, so he could only close his mouth.
Le Zhengyue was extremely angry, and at the same time he was deeply hit in the heart by a huge, irresolvable sadness.
If this happened in the past, he might still yell at the old man, or analyze the pros and cons, and even if he was reluctant, he would finally give the old man a solution.
Because he knew very well in his heart that the old man had been working for the ancient clan all his life.
He has never been selfish. In order not to let his in-law relationship affect him, he never married a wife and had no descendants.
It was such a person who almost ruined the future of the ancient tribe with his own hands because of his temporary prejudice.
In vain, Le Zhengyue felt a sense of powerlessness.
He took a deep look at the old man, then turned around and said, "Master, when you go back, please ask me to step down. When you are old, my disciple will respect you and let you take care of yourself."
The old pavilion master was a little panicked. He stretched out his hand and tried to grab his beloved disciple's sleeve.
"Ayue! I know what I did was not appropriate, but"
Le Zhengyue could no longer restrain himself and waved away his master's hand.
He turned around and looked at the person in front of him with red eyes.
When he was young, his master taught him how to read and practice martial arts bit by bit. If it hadn't been for his master, it would have been impossible for him, a bastard from a branch who was not favored, to achieve everything he has now.
Therefore, in these years, he has also tried his best to give back to his master for cultivating him, just so that one day, he can personally take over the old man's burden, so that he can have a peaceful old age.
But in the end, when did the relationship between them change from being as close as father and son to what it is now?
"Master, I never understood why you were obviously very kind to me, but then you trapped me into disloyalty and injustice again and again."
When the old pavilion master heard this, his hand felt as if it was burnt, and he suddenly retracted it.
"What are you talking about? Ayue, you are my only successor. I am old and there is not much I can do for you. I can only try my best to clear the way for you."
"Yes! The obstacles you mentioned are my brother and sister-in-law who were sacrificed long ago, and even my two miserable nephews.
Now, there is another Gong family head, just because you think these people have a personal relationship with me. After I take over the position of the Mingwen Pavilion head, they may use my influence to make me no longer fair in my affairs and fall into a trap.
Your reputation is great, isn’t it?”
Once the hidden truth is torn apart, only the bloody wounds and the cruelty will be revealed.
the truth.
The old pavilion master's face suddenly turned gray. He stood there with his lips murmuring.
After a long time, he whispered, "I'm doing this all for your own good. Ayue, you don't understand. You're a kid who's good at everything. The only bad thing is that you value affection too much."
It is not easy to be the master of Mingwen Pavilion. If you are too soft-hearted, sooner or later you will become miserable because of it.
You are my only disciple and my only child. I regard you as my own son, so naturally I cannot watch you go into the abyss."
All the looks in Le Zhengyue's eyes were eventually covered with disappointment.
He lowered his eyes, and his tone seemed as if someone had completely withdrawn all emotions and became calm.
"Now you have achieved everything you want. Master, from today on, I will be your most obedient disciple. You saved my life back then, so I will naturally obey your teachings."
"Ayue, listen to me, this matter is not simple. My insistence on letting the Gong family out is not just for my own selfish reasons.
You are now the next head of Mingwen Pavilion. As long as you can step in to turn the tide, we can win the hearts and minds of the people.
I know I feel sorry for the Gong family by doing this, but they are foreigners, so it is useless for them to receive such great credit.
But you are different! Once you become a great contributor to saving the whole clan, those people will definitely be grateful to you. When the time comes, you will have less resistance when you take over Mingwen Pavilion. Maybe you can reach a height that even the master cannot reach!
"
In fact, the old pavilion master was not prepared to say these words.
He has been strong and fair all his life, but for the sake of his only disciple, he is willing to put down the bottom line that he has insisted on for many years, just to lift him to a higher position.
But there is no turning back when the bow is drawn.
When something happened to the couple in Le Zheng's family, if he hadn't interfered and made Le Zhengyue arrive late, the two of them wouldn't have died so tragically.
He knew that his apprentice valued his family very much. Later, when the brothers were growing up, he quietly gave the other brother some help, hoping to alleviate his beloved apprentice's guilt.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be self-defeating in the end, and the two of them became A Yue's weakness.
After that, he had no choice but to let his men plot against the brothers.
He thinks very well.
He will not
What caused the death of the two brothers was just a few tricks to make them fade away from the ancient clan's power struggle.
In this way, they can also be wealthy and idle, and Ayue will not be affected.
But things are always not as expected.
He had obviously planned everything, but he ended up getting the results he didn't want time and time again.
So in the end, he could only take the wrong approach, hoping to separate the brothers from the Lezheng family.
One wrong step, one wrong step.
When he looked back, the father-son, master-disciple relationship between him and A-Yue had quietly changed.
His beloved disciple is a very smart boy.
What could be hidden in the past is now placed in front of the two of them, becoming a gap that can no longer be bridged between them.
The old pavilion master explained it several times, but Le Zhengyue never said a word. After the other party's mouth was dry and his tongue was burnt, he turned around and left.
The old pavilion master looked at the figure disappearing in front of him, his brows furrowed and his hands tightly covering his chest.
"Ayue"
He looked in the direction where the child had left. His whole body seemed to have been drained of energy, and he was so dejected.
Looking at him now, he is nothing more than an old man in his twilight years. He still has not a trace of the charm he had when he succeeded him as the Pavilion Master.
There seemed to be tears rolling down his eyes, but it seemed to be other people's illusions, and he was just blinded by the wind.
He clutched his chest and staggered back to the house. After a long time, a sigh came out from inside, but the sound sounded lonely.
While the master and apprentice were arguing, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu, who were preparing to withdraw from the ancient clan, received an urgent report.
"Report! Our people found a large number of ships of unknown origin in a small bay a hundred miles away from the coastline. They seemed to be visitors from outside the region, but for some unknown reason, they had stayed in the small bay for a long time, but they did not continue.
go ahead."
Lin Mengya saw this urgent report, which also included a map and several flags similar to signs hung on the ship.
She read the letter first, while Long Tianyu was studying the map and the flag patterns.
"It's not the flag of the Wei Kingdom or the ancient tribe. It's very likely that it's really a visitor from outside the territory."
The two exchanged, and Lin Mengya finally saw those flags.
The next moment, she frowned suddenly, as if she had fallen into some kind of illusion.
> Realizing something was wrong, she shook her head violently and then woke up. She pursed her lips and looked at the flags carefully before whispering, "Do you still remember that I had a dream before?"
.
It was in a square with many different flags. They seemed to be sending someone away or welcoming someone."
Of course Long Tianyu remembers it.
He had discovered before that probably because of that system, her wife rarely dreamed.
But some dreams had a very special meaning, which made him even wonder for a time whether his wife was some kind of god who came to this world. Otherwise, how could he find the answer in his dreams?
"Before I came to the Ancient Clan, I thought I was dreaming about things in the Ancient Clan. But now, I am sure that I have seen these flags in that dream."
She pointed at the patterns of the flags, "It's just that in my dream, their patterns were not so complicated, and they were all standing in the corners. If there hadn't been a system to record my dreams, I might not have paid attention.
Less than.”
Hearing what her wife said, Long Tianyu immediately thought of the confessions of the Mo family.
They said that after this general election, this place will be reduced to a hunting ground. All outsiders can come here to plunder resources and people, and it is even possible to use this place as their private enclosure.
But before that, according to the rules, they cannot easily set foot here.
Even if the Mo family came secretly, most of them could only temporarily stay in the ancient clan.
And if their people want to step out of here, they must take a kind of medicine to suppress their own skills. Otherwise, they will be backlashed by their skills and easily become possessed, because the skills they practice are all
It's quite special. If the skill backfires, the person won't survive.
But if ordinary people without martial arts, not to mention whether they can come here with the fleet and overcome the test of life and death, even if they come, as long as they set foot on this land, they will do it several times more than normal people.
, aging extremely quickly, and unable to leave any heirs.
Therefore, even though they have coveted this place for many years, they still dare not get involved easily. They only dare to bribe those who can do things for them and stir up trouble here.
But if the people of this continent are defeated again in this race-wide election, then this constraint will no longer exist.
In fact, when she first heard about this incident, Lin Mengya was a little shocked.
This, isn't this just like the group of people from the ancient tribe?
They have been trapped here for generations and cannot leave easily.
