"When I was busy tracking down the remnants of the Jiang Family? What were you doing? Yes, Sixth Brother died, and his death was very strange. Even you suspected that I did it. Have you ever thought about what Sixth Brother did before he died? He went to the Tingyu Tower to search for the remnants of the Jiang Family in such a high-profile manner. It looked like he was helping, but in fact, he was undermining me. "
"Originally, I didn't want to mention this matter even after he died. Who was the one who started the internal strife? My branch has always been in charge of the search and arrest in the capital. His Sixth Brother suddenly interfered. He claimed to be searching for the remnants. Who gave him the authority? He pretended to search, to alert the enemy. Why, isn't it because he was afraid that I would find the remnants of the Jiang Family? Afraid that I would make contributions? "
"I had been planning in the capital for so long and finally found some clues. Because of him, all my plans were ruined. Now, he died mysteriously, and I am still a suspect. Isn't all of this a disaster caused by him? "
"If he didn't undermine me, maybe I would have caught the remnants of the Jiang Family long ago. If he didn't die, my grandson wouldn't have to search everywhere for suspects, and maybe he wouldn't have suffered such a disaster. Tell me, who is the one who started all of this? Is it me? "
Yun Chen was furious. It was obvious that he was very angry.
Putting himself in his shoes, if any of them encountered this, they probably wouldn't have any motivation to fight for the family.
Seeing that the situation was somewhat unsettled, no one said anything more.
The second elder sighed. "Third Brother, I can understand your feelings. I came back from Bailu Mountain because I didn't want the Yun Family to have internal strife. I didn't expect that the successive incidents would make the good situation of the Yun Family disappear in the blink of an eye. I know that no matter what I say now, it will be difficult for you to change your mind, and it will be difficult for you to heal your wounds. I will return to Bailu Mountain in a while. This is my duty. As for the future of the family, I hope you will take care of yourselves. In any case, I hope you can calm down and don't ruin the good situation that the Yun Family built with great difficulty. "
With that, the two elders stood up, bid farewell, and left.
The other clan elders also stood up and took their leave.
Only Fifth Elder Yun Zhi, who was usually very close to Third Elder Yun Chen and had a close relationship with him, remained at the scene and consoled, "Third Brother, my condolences. Even if Chao 'er falls, your bloodline won't necessarily collapse. Although Peng 'er is young, I can see that his wisdom and talent aren't bad. With proper training, he might be able to support the future of your lineage. "
Peng 'er?
When Yun Chen heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Yun Peng was still young, only about ten years old. He was Yun Chen's other grandson. Because of his young age, he hadn't had the time to stand out.
But in terms of talent and cultivation, at the age of ten, Yun Peng was not inferior to Yun Chao.
Yun Chen's mood, which was originally as dead as ashes, suddenly became lively again.
"That's right, there's also Peng 'er! Although Peng 'er was young, he was temporarily unable to support Yun Chen's ambitions. But in another ten or twenty years, once Peng 'er matured, there might be hope. As long as I can hold on for another ten or twenty years for Peng 'er … "
"Fifth Brother, you're right. Perhaps Chao 'er really is unlucky and doesn't have this fate. Perhaps Peng 'er is the true successor of this old man's lineage? "
Yun Chen's expression became bright, "Peng 'er, Peng' er! My son's generation are all mediocre. But my grandson's generation is filled with geniuses. Although Chao 'er is unfortunate, it might be Peng' er's chance. Old Fifth, you have to lend me a hand. "
The fifth clan elder Yun Zhi saw that Yun Chen's mood had improved and was also happy, "Third Brother, you know. I've always been the closest to you. We're bound together for good or ill. The patriarch's lineage already has no hope. I've always hoped that your lineage can take control of the Yun family. When the time comes, I can also benefit from it. If the first and second clan elders take control of the Yun family, my lineage will definitely not have good days. So I will definitely do my best to support you. I also hope that you can pull yourself together. "
"Fifth Brother, don't worry, I, Yun Chen, won't fall! I won't let Chao 'er die without knowing why! "Yun Chen said resolutely.
Yun Zhi shook his head, looking as if he wanted to say something.
"Fifth Brother, if you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to hold back between us brothers. "
Yun Zhi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Third Brother, if I'm wrong, please forgive me."
"Speak."
"I feel that something has happened to Chao 'er. Third Brother, you have to be rational about this matter. You can't lose the bigger picture because of your desire for revenge."
"Bigger picture? Isn't taking revenge for Chao 'er part of the bigger picture? "Yun Chen was a little displeased.
"Third Brother, forgive me for being blunt. If it were any other time, not to mention you, even I would definitely do my best to find the culprit for Chao 'er's matter. But you have to grasp this clearly at this stage. Catching the remnants of the Jiang family and finding the Jiang family's inheritance is the bigger picture. If you obtain the Jiang family's inheritance, you will have the initiative. If Second Brother obtains the Jiang family's inheritance, I'm afraid … "
These words were like a bucket of cold water splashed on Yun Chen's head. He immediately sobered up.
Yes, the bigger picture was not revenge, but fighting for the Jiang family's inheritance.
"Third Brother, because of Chao 'er, you may not have the mood to think about this matter. The Great Clan Elder had also lost his composure because of the matter regarding the Sixth Clan Elder. This was an opportunity for the bloodline of the second clan elder. You may not have noticed, but I feel that the second clan elder's faction has already gained the upper hand. And the inheritance of the Jiang Family, just like the rumors, might really be in White Deer Mountain. "
"Impossible! White Deer Mountain was where the second brother's men were stationed. However, each faction has sent a group of elites there. In the open and in the dark, our people are everywhere. No one has discovered any inheritance of the Jiang Family, "Yun Chen denied flatly.
"Perhaps there aren't any clues for now. However, the second son's faction controlled Bailu Mountain. Who could guarantee that he didn't act on his own? Who could guarantee that he had not explored it in private? After all, the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first. "Yun Zhi sighed.
Yun Chen was a little depressed. Back then, he had taken the initiative to stay in the capital to oversee the situation. He felt that if he controlled the capital, he would be able to subdue the capital's pillar-level families and make those rich and powerful families submit to him. And staying in the capital was also a great advantage in searching for the remnants of the Jiang family. If the Jiang family's inheritance remained in the capital, they would also be able to enjoy the moonlight first.
Who would have thought that after so long.
In the capital, not only did his bloodline gain nothing, but he had also lost his most valued grandson.
