Was Elder He a Simp?

When Elder He heard Xinghe suddenly declare that he should use the Inheritance Spirit Orb, Elder He he was dumbfounded!

To Elder He had never intended to take the Inheritance Spirit Orb, but now that Chu Xinghe had spoken, everyone agreed that what Xinghe said made sense.

Elder He's eyes had the ability to distinguish right from wrong, Elder He seemed to have the ability to see into other people's hearts.

Except when facing Xinghe, where these eyes are utterly useless, Elder He's eyes are absolutely deadly against anyone.

With Elder He's eyes combined with the Lord of Evil Spirits's Power of Mind and Spirit, it would be an absolute killing machine.

Therefore, entrusting the Inheritance Spirit Orb to Elder He will not only create a Half-Step Main God, but this Half-Step Main God will also have abilities far exceeding those of others, and will have a greater chance of challenging for the position of a true Main God in the Future!

"Xinghe is right, Old He, you can definitely maximize the effect of using this Inheritance Spirit Orb!" The First Elder was the first to speak.

"Excellent, it's perfect to let Old He use it!"

"Old He, you're definitely up for the task!"

"Old He, you can use it..."

At this moment, many of the chief elders of the Vast Heaven Holy Land also spoke up.

"Elder He has been diligent and conscientious since joining our Vast Heaven Holy Land. If I remember correctly, Elder He has nearly died seven times for our Vast Heaven Holy Land, and he has worked tirelessly day and night for his disciples. Therefore, I think it is appropriate for Elder He to use this Inheritance Spirit Orb now!"

Gu Mingchao did not choose to Watch Quietly as Things Change, but instead stepped forward to say that Elder He's method was correct.

Elder He was a scholar in his youth, learned and talented. By chance, he entered the Vast Heaven Sect and became a disciple.

After that Elder He relied on his hard work and talent to become the chief elder of the Thunder Palace. Elder He never married or had children. He dedicated his life to Vast Heaven Holy Land. To this day, Elder He is unparalleled in his miscellaneous knowledge, has long been a golden brand of Vast Heaven Holy Land.

Elder He claimed that there was nothing in this world that Elder He didn't know, only things that didn't exist.

Elder He, among the many chief elders of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, Elder He, though not exactly humble, rarely fought with others.

In the past, whenever the Grand Elder had to leave the Vast Heaven Holy Land, he would entrust all matters to Elder He. Elder He never coveted any power or position; Elder He was always a person who did not contend with the world!

Ouyang Ling's medicine caused Elder He a lot of trouble back then... but even after learning about Ouyang Ling's medicine, Elder He just laughed it off.

Otherwise, given Ouyang Ling's heinous actions at the time, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to charge her with plotting to harm Elder He.

Elder He, the heads of the various palaces all expressed that Elder He was without fault, and no one objected to handing over the Inheritance Spirit Orb to Elder He for use.

What the hell? You say this thing is precious? That whoever gets it can step into the ranks of Half-Step Main God?

The heads of each palace said, "What's so precious about this thing? Our Xinghe family can easily get this thing back, so everyone doesn't need to rush. Just stay calm, Watch Quietly as Things Change, and wait for Xinghe to take it with him!"

Just when everyone was saying that Elder He had no problem using the Inheritance Spirit Orb, Elder He himself spoke up, "This Inheritance Spirit Orb may not be suitable for me..."

Elder He smiled bitterly, "The Power of Mind and Spirit can not only manipulate the mind, but if someone with inner demons uses it, it will also amplify those Heart Demons infinitely... And if I were to use it... I'm afraid the end result would be..."

Elder He said this, all the chief elders present fell silent.

"Old He... after all these years, you still can't let go?" the First Elder asked from the side.

Even Chu Xinghe didn't know what Elder He was referring to as being unable to let go of.

Hearing the Grand Elder's words, Elder He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know if I can let go... So if I were to inherit the Power of Mind and Spirit, I'm afraid I would be controlled by my Heart Demons, lose myself, and never be able to turn back!"

Hearing Elder He's words, Chu Xinghe was completely bewildered...

However, when Chu Xinghe looked at the Grand Elder and the others, no one spoke up to answer his questions. Chu Xinghe that this might involve a past that Elder He was unwilling to discuss.

Seeing Xinghe's bewildered expression, Elder He smiled slightly and said, "Elder, speak freely. So many years have passed; I'm not afraid the children will laugh at me!"

Upon hearing Elder He's words, the First Elder sighed and recounted everything Elder He had experienced back then.

Elder He was born in a country called Great Qi. Elder He could be considered to be from a prestigious family. His ancestors were founding generals of Great Qi. Although their titles were not low, in the Great Qi Kingdom, the titles would be reduced by one level with each generation.

Therefore, by the time the title was passed down to Elder He's father, it had been reduced to the lowest possible level. Although Elder He was the only son in the family, he no longer had the opportunity to inherit the title.

Elder He was a man of extraordinary talent. Although he did not practice martial arts, he became famous at a young age in the Great Qi Kingdom and was the most famous talent in the Great Qi Kingdom at an early age.

Everyone in the Vast Heaven Holy Land knows that Elder He never married or had children, but only the Grand Elder, who was of the same generation as Elder He, knows what Elder He went through back then.

In his youth, Elder He was a man of great literary talent and charm, attracting the attention of countless talented women.

Among the many talented women, Elder He met Xu Peishan, the daughter of General Weiyuan of the Great Qi Kingdom, Elder He fell in love with Xu Peishan at first sight.

Although Elder He had no power or influence back then, General Weiyuan did not object too much to him as a son-in- Elder He because of his outstanding literary talent.

Instead, she said that if Elder He passed the imperial examination with flying colors this year, she would be willing to marry her daughter to Elder He.

That year Elder He was so full of vigor and confidence. He believed that no Elder He in the Great Qi Kingdom could rival his literary talent!

That year, Elder He embarked on the journey to take the imperial examination, hoping to top the list and win the heart of the beauty!

But that year, Elder He was so young that he didn't understand that sometimes, the imperial examinations weren't about literary talent, but about family background!

Others come from prestigious families; what right do you, a talented son from a declining noble family, have to compete with those scions of powerful and aristocratic clans?

In the end, literary talent was defeated by power; not only did Elder He fail to win first place, he didn't even make the list.

But the blow of failing the exam was not over yet, and the news of Xu Peishan's marriage reached Elder He's ears.

Elder He rushed to General Weiyuan's mansion, only to be met with merciless mockery and cold stares.

It was only then that Elder He realized that General Weiyuan's promise to marry his daughter to him was merely a temporary measure.

He had long known what fate awaited Elder He, so he had already arranged a marriage for his daughter, Xu Peishan, on Elder He's journey to take the exam.

Elder He failed the imperial examination, made a scene at General Weiyuan's mansion. At that time, Elder He believed that General Weiyuan was trying to break up him and Xu Peishan, a couple.

But Elder He to despair was not General Weiyuan's actions, but Xu Peishan.

On her wedding day, Xu Peishan told the young Elder He that she was not forced into the marriage; she chose this marriage because her husband had to be an outstanding person.

She never valued Elder He as a person, but Elder He literary talent. Unfortunately, it turned out that literary talent was worthless in the face of family background.

Therefore, she didn't have much affection for Elder He at all; it was all just Elder He's wishful thinking.

Elder He didn't know how he walked out of General Weiyuan's mansion that day. On that day, He Yanming, who was known as the number one talent in the Great Qi Kingdom, became the laughing stock of the entire Great Qi Kingdom!

However Elder He did not see reality clearly at the time. He believed that Xu Peishan had told him everything in order to protect him and to make him give up his thoughts.

But as it turns out, Elder He was wrong once again.

In his eyes, those words were meant to protect himself; in Xu Peishan's eyes, he was a complete joke... Xu Peishan was never a good person, and her feelings for him were never genuine; she simply used him as a tool to relieve her boredom.

Everyone knows that Elder He was a joke back then.

But those involved are often blinded by their own perspective. Even after learning the truth time and time again, Elder He still believed that Xu Peishan's feelings for him were genuine, and that she must have said those things just to make him give up on the idea.

Elder He was an absolute master of sycophancy.

As it turns out, being a simp never ends well. By chance, the young Elder He found Xu Peishan again, wanting only to hear Xu Peishan tell the truth—that their feelings were real...

In the end Elder He did not receive the sincere affection that Xu Peishan spoke of; instead, he received Xu Peishan's cold words that she ordered her men to beat Elder He to death.

Elder He survived in the end. He was rescued by a passing cultivator, who helped him save his life. Afterward, Elder He left the Great Qi Kingdom, leaving behind this place that would forever haunt him.

Later Elder He entered the Vast Heaven Holy Land by chance, but Xu Peishan's matter became Elder He's heart that he could never untie.

In his youth, Elder He of the Vast Heaven Sect was a prodigy among prodigies, and countless women threw themselves at him.

However, after that incident, Elder He no longer believed in any woman's feelings, so Elder He never married or had children, and never returned to the Great Qi Kingdom.

As for Xu Peishan's matter, although the elders of Elder He's generation all knew about it, no one ever mentioned it.

This matter is a knot in Elder He's heart that he can never untie!

Elder He's hair turned white overnight, and he gained eyes that could see into people's hearts. Elder He vowed that he would never be troubled by any romantic feelings again in his life, and he devoted all his energy to studying various ancient books.

Thus, the world now has an Elder He erudition is unparalleled!

After listening to the First Elder recount Elder He's past troubles, Chu Xinghe looked utterly helpless!

This story is a bit too melodramatic!

Let's not talk about anything else... Elder He, with your looks... what makes you think that girl would be interested in you?

What? Is it Charm Physique naturally alluring?

Furthermore, doesn't Elder He understand the saying that sycophants never have a good end?

"Elder He's Heart Demons are nothing. I, Ma Liang... no... I'll arrange for Wu Xingyun to make a trip to the Great Qi Kingdom today and take care of that Xu Peishan..."

Ma Liang jumped out at this moment.

Upon hearing Ma Liang's words, all the elders present were speechless. Well... Ma Liang, first of all, Xu Peishan has been dead for many years...

Furthermore, do you think Elder He's Heart Demon is Xu Peishan?

That's completely wrong. Elder He was a sycophant back then, and his Heart Demon might have been Xu Peishan. But now, his Heart Demon isn't Xu Peishan; it's himself!

A person who claims to be unparalleled in eclectic knowledge, whenever he recalls his sycophantic behavior from back then... that's the real source of his inner turmoil...

For Elder He, Xu Peishan was at most the cause, but definitely not a knot in his heart that he couldn't untie!
