The Litian Sage King left, and the Fourth Elder, Chen Qinghe successfully succeeded to the position of patriarch and became the biggest winner.

And the next day, when Chen Qinghe was full of ambition and was about to carry out drastic reforms to the Chen clan, Gu Chen bid farewell to the new patriarch and the elders.

His reason is that the crisis of the Chen family has been successfully passed, and he shoulders the responsibility of the alliance with Luomen, and it is time to return to Peichao to guard.

This reason seemed reasonable, but the elders automatically made up their minds.

Originally, Chen Yunfei devoted himself to his duties during the battle of protecting the clan, and his prestige in the clan, especially among the younger generation, had been greatly enhanced. Some people even preferred him to be the new clan leader.

However, he didn't expect the herdsman to intervene. Chen Qinghe, who had always had a bad relationship with him, became the head of the clan. Whether it was out of his own feelings or for the sake of his future situation, it was a better choice for him to leave.

Yunfei took the initiative to show his favor to Chen Qinghe yesterday, which was already a sign of softness, but choosing to leave now is a wise choice.

As an elder of the Chen Clan, everyone knows what kind of temperament Chen Qinghe is. Now that he has gained power, he will not treat him differently just because Yunfei flattered him yesterday.

Instead of leaving Yunfei down and causing discord among the tribe, it is better to let him go, so that the tribe can be more united and better able to cope with the challenges of the new situation.

Therefore, when Gu Chen bid farewell, none of the elders tried to persuade him to stay. Even the Great Elder Chen Shanming just hesitated to speak. Gu Chen's performance yesterday finally disappointed him.

As for Chen Qinghe, he personally sent Gu Chen a distance, acting like a patriarch, caring for Gu Chen in the tone of an elder, and letting him contact the clan at any time when he encounters any problems in the future. He looks quite warm and friendly, but in fact It is comfortable.

In his opinion, he is the winner in the end, while Gu Chen is just a loser, even in a hurry to escape in order to avoid making things difficult for him in the future.

Originally, he didn't want to let him go so easily, and wanted to enjoy the power to make the genius bow his head, but considering the prestige of the other party in the clan, for the sake of safety, he decided to let him go as soon as possible.

As long as he is gone, the thoughts that some people in the clan shouldn't have will be almost eliminated, and the doubts about his improper position will gradually disappear under his continued efforts to rule.

The next most important thing is to secure the position of patriarch. If you fail to do things well, it will be bad if you arouse the dissatisfaction of the herdsmen.

"Yunfei, the most important thing in this world is not talent, nor hard work, but choice. Only when you stand in the right position, everything can belong to you!"

Before Gu Chen left, Chen Qinghe was beaming and teased.

"Yunfei has been taught."

Gu Chen was neither humble nor overbearing, turned around and left, his figure was a little lonely and desolate, while Chen Qinghe returned to the clan in high spirits.

On Dingkong Mountain, the great elder Chen Shanming who didn't go to see Gu Chen off looked at the direction he was leaving from afar, and sighed sadly when he thought of the situation where the Chen clan now recognized the thief as their father.

"My family, what should we do next..."

After Gu Chen left, Chen Shanming did not participate in clan affairs for many days on the grounds that his injury had not recovered.

Chen Qinghe is happy to see the success of this. If the Great Elder is present, the elders will almost listen to him, and his power as the patriarch will be weakened a lot.

Right now, the Great Elder is ill, and it is he who buys people's hearts and makes the Chen family a great opportunity for him to speak his mind.

...

The night breeze was blowing, Chen Shanming stood in his courtyard, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, looking a little lonely.

In just a few days, his body was filled with the air of twilight, and he felt even more lifeless than when he was seriously injured some time ago.

Physical injuries can be healed, but mental confusion has nowhere to find comfort. Chen Shanming no longer knows the meaning of being the Great Elder.

He failed to protect the patriarch who was about to become holy, and the once-in-a-million-year genius in the clan also left, and now the leader of the entire Chen clan turned out to be a running dog of the shepherd clan, which is so sad!

"Maybe it's time to step down."

Chen Shanming was muttering to himself, suddenly, the pot of epiphyllum in front of him swayed gently, and there was an incomprehensible raving coming from the wind!

Chen Shanming's face suddenly changed, and his eyes showed surprise, but he didn't make any abnormal moves.

Two days later, Chen Shanming found an excuse that did not attract suspicion, and left Dingkong Mountain, then changed directions several times, disguised himself several times, and came to a huge lake far away from the Chen clan.

Chen Shanming looked around and was sure that this was the right place. Without hesitation, he went straight to the bottom of the lake!

There is a cave at the bottom of the lake. When Chen Shanming stepped into a cave, Gu Chen had been waiting here for a long time.

And behind Gu Chen, apart from the clay bodhisattva standing, there was also a man whose face was covered by a hood.

After confirming that the person who came was indeed Chen Shanming, the man lifted his hood, revealing a familiar face.

"Patriarch! You really didn't die!"

When Chen Shanming saw Patriarch Chen, he couldn't help but lose his voice, and then looked at Gu Chen with aggressive eyes. "Yunfei, what is going on!"

Two nights ago, he suddenly received a voice transmission from Epiphyllum in the yard, saying that the chief of the Chen family wanted to see him, and asked him to keep quiet and leave the Chen family quietly.

Because he recognized the voice from Epiphyllum, and it clearly belonged to Yunfei, so even though he was puzzled, he chose to believe it and walked away quietly.

Unexpectedly, the person who wanted to see him was really patriarch Chen, and he did not die under Liu Sheng's hands, nor did he die under the thunder calamity!

what on earth is it?

The patriarch fell under the eyes of everyone, and the news of the thunder calamity cannot be faked, and Liu Sheng has no chance of being merciful!

"Great elder, it's a long story, why don't you let the patriarch have a good chat with you."

Gu Chen smiled and said, because the truth about him not being Chen Yunfei was involved in the matter, it would be better for Patriarch Chen to explain.

Chen Shanming managed to calm down and nodded, so Gu Chen left him and Patriarch Chen to stay, while he left the cave and came to the surface of the lake.

Weeping willows are green by the lake, and a man with green hair and blue eyes, plump and handsome is sitting there at some point, playing the bamboo flute with a melodious voice.

Gu Chen walked on the water and came to him. Liu Sheng put down the bamboo flute and said flatly: "One more person who knows, the risk is more. You should understand this truth."

"Clan Chief Chen is now feigning death. If he wants to continue to control the Chen Clan, he can only ask the Great Elder for help."

Gu Chen sat down in front of Liu Sheng, took out a jug of fine wine and two bowls, and filled them for himself and Liu Sheng.

The matter involved Daozu's level, and it would take time for Patriarch Chen to let the Great Elder fully understand the situation. After drinking this wine, it must be almost the same.
