Chapter 643 Idle and lazy, indifferent to fame and fortune
Chapter 643: Leisure and laziness, indifferent to fame and fortune
Chen Shipeng sighed slightly, "If we make even the slightest mistake along the way, we will surely fall into a situation that is beyond redemption."
"And all of this is due to our [Chen Royal Family]'s ability to predict the future."
"A prophet?"
Chen Qi frowned slightly.
Chen Shipeng nodded, "That's right.
A divination prophet, as the name suggests, is someone who can reveal what will happen in the future through divination."
"Historically, our [Chen Royal Family] has escaped several genocide disasters by relying on this ability."
"And this time..."
Chen Qi took over and said, "And this time, the Thirteenth Grand Tutor suddenly visited our Chen family. Could it be that another disaster will occur for the [Chen Royal Family]?"
Chen Shipeng glanced at Chen Qi in surprise, then smiled and replied, "You are very smart."
"Yes, some time ago, the prophet of my [Chen Royal Family] suddenly cast a spell, 'When trouble is brewing in the middle of the earth, the sun and moon will have no owner; if the two or three are in their place, the sheep will end and the dragon will begin.
’”
"After careful consideration by all of us, the general meaning is that our [Chen Royal Family] will be faced with a catastrophe, causing internal strife within the family, and even the danger of annihilation. If we want to avoid this disaster, we can only choose a new master.
Spared."
"And this master is not from my [Chen Royal Family] family, but was chosen from some of the second and third branches."
Having said this, Chen Shipeng was probably a little thirsty. He picked up the tea cup on the table and took a calm sip of tea.
Everyone in the Chen family was shocked when they heard Chen Shipeng's words.
"Selected among the second and third branches?"
"Our [Dongyuan] Chen family can be regarded as one of the second and third branches, right?"
"The Thirteenth Grand Tutor appears here. Could it be that someone from my [Dongyuan] Chen family is going to run for the throne of the [Chen Royal Family]?"
At first, everyone thought that Chen Shipeng's sudden visit to their [Dongyuan] Chen family was because the [Chen Royal Family] was preparing to pardon the punishment imposed on the [Dongyuan] Chen family and return them to the royal title.
Little did he know that the other party was here to select someone to run for the throne of the [Chen Royal Family]!
And now, who in the Chen family is qualified to run for the throne?
Presumably everyone has the answer in mind.
Everyone has mixed feelings about this.
The good news is that if they can successfully run for the throne, then wouldn't it mean that one of their [Dongyuan] Chen family would achieve enlightenment, and their chickens and dogs would ascend to heaven?
What is worrying is that the intensity of the competition for the throne of the [Chen Royal Family] is absolutely beyond imagination.
You can imagine how difficult it is to stand out among many outstanding candidates.
If they fail, the Dongyuan Chen family will have to wait patiently for the punishment deadline to arrive.
At this time, Chen Shipeng put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly.
"This competition for the throne is of great significance. The [Chen Royal Family] has unanimously decided that our thirteen Taifus will go to all parts of the country to find outstanding candidates from the side families."
Chen Shipeng smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, I have visited a total of six Chen family branches recently, and only your [Dongyuan] Chen family, or to be precise, you Chen Qi, satisfy me the most."
The implication is self-evident.
Chen Shipeng's visit to the Chen family this time was precisely because of Chen Qi.
Chen Qi stands out from the crowd, both in terms of martial arts prowess and personal ability.
Not only was he able to defeat [Dong Yuan]'s local peak powerhouse, he was also able to lead [Dong Yuan] to get married and become one of the Twelve Hou clans in just a few months.
This achievement made him amazed.
Chen Shipeng believes that as long as Chen Qi is willing to run for the throne, he will definitely be a strong contender!
"Of course, this must follow your own wishes."
Chen Shipeng looked slightly serious, "Chen Qi, let me ask you now, are you willing to go back with me and compete for the throne of my [Chen Royal Family]?"
After saying that, Chen Shipeng stared at Chen Qi with bright eyes.
It seems that he has a plan in mind and already knows how Chen Qi will answer?
After all, it is an extremely glorious thing to be selected by Chen Shipeng to participate in the election for the throne of the [Chen Royal Family].
You must know that among the thirteen Taifus currently sent by the [Chen Royal Family], each person only has one quota.
In total, there are only thirteen places.
To select the thirteen best among these thousands of collateral descendants is like choosing one in a million.
Chen Qi is lucky enough to be one of them, and he will feel honored both personally and for his family!
However, Chen Qi smiled for a moment and replied calmly, "Can I refuse?"
"What?"
Chen Shipeng thought he was hearing hallucinations.
"I said, can I refuse?"
"reject?"
, Chen Shipeng, who has always been unwavering in ancient and modern times, his expression suddenly changed, he stood up and said, "Chen Qi, do you know what it means to compete for the throne?"
"If you successfully compete for the throne, you will be the supreme leader of our [Chen Royal Family]. When the time comes, you will respond to every call, not to mention letting you [Dongyuan] get married and return to the royal family tree, even if you let [Dongyuan] Chen family
, it’s easy to become a clan member of the royal family!”
Chen Shipeng was extremely depressed. This time he went out and visited six branches of the Chen family across the country.
After hearing about Chen Shipeng's intentions, every Chen family branch wanted to immediately send people to go back with him to participate in the election.
However, Chen Shipeng already had Chen Qi as his favorite candidate, so he did not agree.
He originally thought that if he gave Chen Qi this opportunity, Chen Qi would be grateful and extremely excited.
But Chen Qi actually refused?
This is really...
"Can you tell me the reason?"
Chen Shipeng asked.
Chen Qi replied, "I am a person who is used to being laid-back and lazy. I am not suitable for intrigues in any sense. Now that I am sitting in the position of the head of the Chen family, I am just trying to catch up. As long as there is a suitable candidate, I will automatically quit."
This is Chen Qi's truth.
In the past, Chen Qi was used to seeing all kinds of intrigues in the military department.
Some people fight for credit and get beaten to death, while some people fight for superiority and use all possible means.
For example, when Chen Qi became the master of the Dragon Temple, many people were dissatisfied. Even now, many people are still secretly causing trouble and trying to remove him.
If Chen Qi's achievements were not so outstanding that he outshone all other heroes, the current master of the [Dragon Temple] might not be Chen Qi himself.
In fact, Chen Qi would rather be an ordinary soldier than hold a high position.
You only need to obey the orders of your superiors and perform your tasks; others will have to worry about any other trivial matters.
But as the saying goes, with greater ability comes greater responsibility.
Chen Qi's personal ability is destined to be extraordinary.
Now, Chen Shipeng wants Chen Qi to run for the throne of the Chen family, and of course he is not interested.
But these words, when heard by Chen Shipeng, had a different meaning.
Are you used to being lazy?
Isn't this what ancient saints often said about idle clouds and wild cranes, indifferent to fame and fortune?
Chen Shipeng's mouth twitched slightly.
How old is Chen Qi, and what has he experienced?
How did you come up with this kind of thinking that is like seeing through the world of mortals?
