Ye Fen's heart is full of galloping horses.
I blanch it!
This Jiang Yantian is as good as the Jiang Yantian of later generations!
He also said that he should join Hehuan Sect.
What a joke.
Why is she going to the Hehuan Sect now?
Want to be a mascot?
Oh no, it's not a mascot yet. A mascot, he's not lucky yet!
However, she really didn't dare to refute what Jiang Yantian said.
No matter what he says, just listen.
Once you piss him off, you don't know what will happen.
At least it's safe now.
What the hell, it's simply a shame.
Jiang Yantian didn't rush to leave. He took two steps in front of her with his hands behind his back.
As if he suddenly remembered something, he stopped again.
He looked down at Ye Fen who was kneeling there, and spoke slowly.
"You said that you know a person who looks very similar to me and has a similar temperament."
"For the sake of this, let me give you a heads up."
Ye Fen was stunned.
Is this a serious reminder?
She felt something in her heart, but she didn't dare not answer the call.
He quickly took his hands, which were shrunken into chicken claws, out of his sleeves and arched them.
He whispered, "Senior... you speak, junior listen."
"Let me ask you." Jiang Yantian crossed his arms. "How many people do you think were on that list that day and were competing with you for the position of direct successor?"
Ye Fen thought for a while, "The list is so densely packed, I'm afraid there are hundreds of them."
"Hundreds?" Jiang Yantian sneered and shook his head, "Those people actually don't have a chance."
Ye Fen raised his head suddenly. "No chance?"
"Nonsense." Jiang Yantian rolled his eyes. "I am an insider, of course I know these things."
"Do you know, True Person, why you have to accept someone from outside as your direct successor?"
Ye Fen shook his head and looked at him eagerly.
"That's because there's already a fight inside." Jiang Yantian squatted down and lowered his voice.
It was like he was sharing some big secret with her.
"You think this Void Heavenly Palace is monolithic? That's wrong."
"The tops of the mountains have long been lined with trees. This peak holds soldiers, that peak holds wealth, and there are several more peaks. Staring at the position of True Person, my eyes are red."
"True Person What kind of cultivation level does this old man have? Can he stay here all his life?"
"It's impossible. Sooner or later, he will break through the boundary and chase the higher Great Dao."
"When he leaves, who will pick up Void Heavenly Palace?"
Ye Fen held his breath.
"If this is a direct inheritance, choose from within." Jiang Yantian clasped his fingers.
"Then no matter who you choose, they will all be from a certain hilltop."
"As soon as he comes to power, will the other mountains rebel? By then, one family will be the only one, and the rest will be trampled to death. This realm will be over."
Ye Fen nodded repeatedly, as if he was listening to some enlightening university questions.
"That's why True Person wants to find someone from outside who has nothing to do with anyone."
"What is this called? This is called checks and balances! What he wants is indeed the most talented person, but the prerequisite is also a person with a clean foundation and who is not like anyone else."
"In this way, when he passes things to you, no one in the mountains inside will be able to gossip."
"Because you don't belong to anyone, and you only listen to him."
"So... that's it!" Ye Fen felt that the mess in his mind was instantly sorted out.
No wonder!
No wonder you have to look for someone outside!
It turns out that it is used for checks and balances, I understand!
Although True Person is very strong, those who think they are strong will definitely not stand still.
He will leave one day to pursue a higher path.
Once he leaves, his place will be occupied by people from other factions.
True Person was not happy, so he found an unrelated person from outside to be his successor and inherit everything about him.
Such selfishness is so normal.
No one wants their things to end up in the hands of people who have nothing to do with them.
What's more, I don't want this place to be fought over and turned upside down after I leave.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Jiang Yantian's words made perfect sense.
"Then... then senior." Ye Fen followed the words and asked cautiously.
"Junior, wasn't it an unofficial appointment before? Why was someone tricked me again and it was crossed out from the unofficial appointment?"
"Isn't this simple?" Jiang Yantian glanced at her and said, "You are the one who made the appointment, but your appointment is obvious."
"Who wouldn't want to put their own people on those hills inside? They see you as an eyesore, so of course they want to set you up."
"They've made a bad name for you. If they keep doing it, won't they have a chance?"
Ye Fen took a deep breath.
Yes!
She finally knew why she had been tricked.
It turned out to be people from other hills who didn't want her to sit on it.
Then he planned the drama of fornication to kick her down from her appointed position.
"But what they didn't calculate was." Jiang Yantian added slowly.
"After you were taken down, your name was crossed out from the default column."
"But you're still on the competition list."
"Why is this?" Ye Fen asked hurriedly.
"Because True Person still hasn't given up on you." Jiang Yantian spread his hands.
"If he really gave up on you, your name would have been wiped off the list. How can he still make you squat and shit in the competition list?"
Ye Fen's heart was beating fast.
Yes, that's the truth!
Although she was deceived and cut out of her official schedule.
But True Person didn't really give up on her.
Her name is still on the list.
This shows that she is still the one who was appointed.
It's just not on the surface anymore.
"Then... the more than one hundred people on the list..."
"A companion!" Jiang Yantian said firmly, "I told you, no one of those people has a chance."
"If we really talk about it, right now, there are only two people who are truly qualified to take over the mantle of True Person."
"Two?" Ye Fen's eyes lit up. "Who is the other one?"
Jiang Yantian smiled faintly, "He's someone similar to you, with a clean foundation, picked up from outside."
"You don't have to worry about those more than a hundred people now. Just keep an eye on that one person and compare him to that one. This direct descendant is yours."
Ye Fen only felt that his eyes suddenly became brighter.
Everything is straightened out.
It's all my fault that I was too careless and allowed others to take advantage of me.
Otherwise, it will be settled steadily.
However, this is also good.
At the very least, if you really want to get to the top, you have to show your skills and convince those people on the mountain top.
The more she thought about it, the more cowardly she felt in her heart.
She even felt that it was worth it for Aba and Aba to kneel all day today.
If I hadn't been squatting here, how could I have waited for Jiang Yantian's heart-wrenching reminder?
Jiang Yantian stood aside and looked at Ye Fen's eyes, which lit up again little by little.
It was as if he had figured out a huge mystery, and he almost burst out laughing again.
Remember to eat and not to fight!
With just a few words, she believed this idiot.
"Senior, you... can you tell me who the other strong competitor is?"
Ye Fen raised his head and asked eagerly.
Now, she actually still believes in Jiang Yantian, an insider.
The logic is clear, very consistent with his current situation, and no loopholes can be found.
Jiang Yantian hesitated for a moment, as if weighing whether he should say it or not.
He looked around and saw no one around, so he lowered his voice and said, "His name is...Wang Teng."
"Wang Teng?" Ye Fen frowned and kept this name firmly in mind.
"This person is much more powerful than you." Jiang Yantian nodded, with a hint of seriousness in his tone.
"But don't panic. This competition is not about cultivation, but about character."
"Cultivation is the most worthless thing in True Person's eyes."
"What about Wang Teng?" Ye Fen asked urgently.
"The other party has a good character and became famous at a young age. He is known as Great Emperor." Jiang Yantian said slowly.
