When Ye Xiaotian saw Bai Xiaoxiao appear, he knew that Yang Yinglong had sent someone to monitor his movements. Without a choice, he could only bite the bullet and follow Bai Xiaoxiao to Yang Yinglong's residence.
Yang Yinglong's residence was set up in a dense forest outside the village. There were more than ten tents here, and Yang Yinglong's living quarters was the largest. It was extraordinarily extravagant and naturally, there was no need to describe it in detail. He received Ye Xiaotian here.
Yang Yinglong looked at Ye Xiaotian and said with a smile, "As expected, the Venerable received you and only let you return in the evening. He really favors you. How was it? What did you talk about? "
Ye Xiaotian said, "This is the first time I met the Venerable. Of course, I can't presumptuously ask him who he is going to pass his position to. So, basically, he was talking and I was listening."
Yang Yinglong nodded and said, "That should be the case. However … there is always something to talk about in a casual conversation. Tell me about it."
Ye Xiaotian was just about to choose what to tell Yang Yinglong when he suddenly had a thought. He told Yang Yinglong everything about his meeting with the Venerable. He even told him that the Venerable could read minds and knew that Yang Yinglong had ulterior motives.
When Ye Xiaotian told him about the Venerable's evaluation of Yang Yinglong and saw that Yang Yinglong was not surprised at all, he knew that he had made the right bet. What kind of person was Yang Yinglong? Why did he trust him so much? Ye Xiaotian believed in a saying in the opera, "A treacherous person is bound to be suspicious!"
Yang Yinglong was good at scheming, so he would not easily trust others. Ye Xiaotian didn't know how Yang Yinglong could determine whether he was telling the truth or not. Maybe there was some kind of "lie detector" in this world. This place was a mess, so who knew? Anyway, Yang Yinglong must have a way to determine whether he was telling the truth or not, so Ye Xiaotian didn't hide anything.
Yang Yinglong was very satisfied with Ye Xiaotian's frankness. He listened to Ye Xiaotian's narration and nodded slightly, "When I was young, I heard people talking about the Gu Dao's special techniques and they mentioned the Gu Heart Gu. It was extremely difficult to find and refine the Gu worm to refine the Gu worm. One had to carefully raise the Gu worm of the Gu worm from an early age. Only after refining the Gu worm could one become one with the Gu and use the power of the Gu to probe the thoughts of others.
Once the Gu Heart Gu was refined, it had no other power except for the ability to see through people's thoughts. So few people would do such a laborious and unrewarding thing. I didn't expect that Venerable actually cultivated the Gu Heart Gu and succeeded … Ah! Hehe, haha, hahaha … "
Yang Yinglong suddenly exclaimed as if he had figured out something. Then he laughed out loud. Ye Xiaotian didn't understand and looked at him strangely. Yang Yinglong laughed for a while and said to Ye Xiaotian, "You don't know, there was once a servant of the Gu God who passed the inheritance of the Gu God to a wood-chopper."
Ye Xiaotian let out a soft "ah" and said, "This … I have heard Miss Zhan mention it before."
Yang Yinglong smiled and said, "Then did she say that the wood-chopper was the servant of the Gu God?"
Ye Xiaotian was really shocked. That lucky wood-chopper was the servant of the Gu God? Thinking of the situation when he met the servant of the Gu God today, Venerable was graceful and elegant. He really couldn't associate him with a wood-chopper in the Divine Hall.
Yang Yinglong said, "There is no wall in the world that doesn't have ears. Not long after Venerable ascended to the throne, there was a rumor that he was the illegitimate son of the servant of the Gu God. But there was no real evidence. Now it seems that he really is the son of the servant of the Gu God."
Ye Xiaotian was puzzled and said, "Why do you think so?"
Yang Yinglong said, "You should know that it is very difficult to cultivate the Gu Heart Gu. It is not easy to find and collect the strange worms to cultivate the Gu Heart Gu. Moreover, the Gu Heart Gu needs to be cultivated from an early age. If the current servant of the Venomous Gu God was not the son of the previous servant of the Venomous Gu God, he would only be a woodchopper in the Divine Hall when he grew up. His family's financial situation could be imagined. Who would help him search for Gu worms to cultivate the Gu Heart? Who will guide him to cultivate the Gu Heart Gu?
After cultivating the Gu Heart Gu, it can only see through people's minds. Even if ordinary people have the opportunity to cultivate the Gu Art, they will only choose the Gu Art that can cure and save people or kill people invisibly. Why cultivate the Gu Heart Gu? If you cultivate the Gu Heart Gu and I suddenly want to kill you, can you save yourself with the Gu Heart Gu? "
Ye Xiaotian suddenly understood and said, "So, this Venerable must be the illegitimate son of the previous Venerable. The previous Venerable decided to pass the throne to his son long ago. That is why he did everything he could to help his son to find the worm to cultivate the Gu Heart Gu. He also taught his son cultivation from an early age. This is because the previous Venerable knew that his son will be the leader when he grows up. Only when he is in a high position, the ability to see through people's minds will be of great use to him."
Yang Yinglong smiled and nodded, "The child is worth teaching!" Speaking of this, Yang Yinglong slightly curled his lips and said scornfully, "Appointed by the Gu God? Humph! Playing tricks! The inheritance of the throne is indeed decided by the Venerable! "
Yang Yinglong thought for a while, then shook his head and sighed, "Although I really want to have the ability to know what others are thinking, it is just like what the Venerable said. If you can know what others are thinking as long as they are standing in front of you, it is indeed a very painful thing. I finally understand why he traveled the world and why he lived in seclusion.
Hehe, it turns out that he used thirty years of hard work to cultivate, not to study a better Gu Art, but to 'destroy his own martial arts'. How pitiful! What a pity! If the previous Venerable knew that his painstaking efforts had caused his son to suffer for the rest of his life, he would definitely regret it, right? "
Ye Xiaotian said, "He already knew the reason why you sent me there. It is impossible for me to find out anything from him, let alone give him advice. Lord Chieftain, do you think … "
Yang Yinglong said faintly, "Actually, he already knew my purpose. He is also very clear about my support for Elder Gögwo. I sent you there just to find out who he has his eyes on, so that I can have a target. It is fine even if he sees through me. He wants to warn me through you? What a joke! Do you think I, Yang Yinglong, am someone who knows when to retreat? I am determined to get the position of the Venerable! It is best if he is willing to hand over the position. If he wants to fight with me, then let's try! "
Ye Xiaotian said doubtfully, "I've seen Sister Taiyang's Art of Venomous Poison before, it's really shocking. As the number one person in the Sect of Gu God, the Venerable One must have mastered an even more advanced Art of Venomous Poison. Aren't you afraid that he'll use it against you?"
Yang Yinglong looked at Ye Xiaotian for a long time, then smiled faintly and said, "There is no harm in telling you this secret. Gu Art is indeed very powerful, but it is not invincible. In some aspects, it is even inferior to arsenic. At least arsenic cannot be prevented, but Gu Art is not.
Gu Art is a type of poisonous insect. Since it is an insect, there will always be something that counters it. Although these things are rare, they are not unique. If one takes it from a young age, the Gu will not be able to be possessed. The Four Chieftain families have been passed down for thousands of years. They all have their own methods to protect the family's real power figures. "
Only then did Ye Xiaotian understand. Yang Yinglong paced back and forth on the expensive Persian carpet with his hands behind his back. After a long time, he raised his head and said to Ye Xiaotian, "You have done well. It seems that the Venerable will still want to see you. You just need to follow his wishes and chat with him. As for the matter of speaking to him, there is no need to mention it."
Ye Xiaotian laughed bitterly in his heart. Yang Yinglong had spared no effort in bribing him. Originally, he wanted him to be an informant, but who knew that he would be such a failure as an informant. The first time he made a move, his identity was exposed, and Yang Yinglong was not willing to let it go. It was obvious that Yang Yinglong was using him as a messenger or a tool to demonstrate his power.
Ye Xiaotian had no choice but to agree. When Ye Xiaotian left, Yang Yinglong frowned and muttered to himself, "Gedwa? Why did he mention Gedwa? Isn't the person he trusts the most Gema man? Could it be that this Gedwa is the person he wants to inherit his position?
No, since he knows that I have been in contact with Ye Xiaotian, why would he reveal the information to him? But, among all the elders, there are only three people who are trusted. If the person he wants is the Gema man, why would he send him so far away to hold the fort? True and false, true and false, this old fellow must be deliberately misleading us. But … who is the real person he has chosen? I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out … "
…
When Ye Xiaotian returned to the village, Zhan Ning 'er was carrying Gedore's son and walking side by side with Gedore's wife, talking as they walked. Seeing Ye Xiaotian, Zhan Ning' er didn't bring his adopted son over, but handed him over to Gedore's wife and walked straight to Ye Xiaotian.
Zhan Ning 'er looked behind Ye Xiaotian and raised an eyebrow, saying, "You went to see Yang Yinglong?"
Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly, "As soon as I came ashore, I was' invited 'away by Yang Yinglong's people."
Zhan Ning 'er sneered, "Yang Yinglong's ambition is getting bigger and bigger. If the Divine Servant Venerable falls into his hands, I'm afraid he'll be even more insatiable. No wonder grandfather sent me here."
Ye Xiaotian sneered, "Why did he send you here? I've seen you wandering around all day, but you haven't done anything. "
Zhan Ning 'er said, "Do I need to do anything? I came here to show the An family's attitude. Whether it's the Venerable or the eight elders, as long as they want the Gu God Sect to develop well, they have to consider the An family's attitude. "
Ye Xiaotian shook his head. He didn't believe that the An family would entrust such an important matter to a little girl like Zhan Ning 'er. Was it because the An family was too confident, or did they not care about the Gu God Sect's power? After seeing the methods of the Venerable and Yang Yinglong, Ye Xiaotian didn't think he could easily guess the thoughts of these big shots.
Ye Xiaotian thought about it, "Who is the An family supporting? It's definitely not Gögwo. Could it be Gedwa? "
Zhan Ning 'er shook her head, "Among the eight elders, in terms of seniority, status, and influence, Gögwo, Ge Ma, and Gedwa are the most powerful. The future Venerable candidate will most likely be one of these three. Among these three, the ones who are on good terms with the An family and the Zhan family are Ge Ma and Gedwa. Gedwa has no ambition. His eyes are only on this small piece of land. He's not a suitable candidate. What we value is Ge Ma. "
Zhan Ning 'er paused here, "Yang Yinglong is looking for you to ask what you said to the Venerable, right? Did you tell him? "
Ye Xiaotian spread his hands, "Can I not say? Yang Yinglong is sharpening his knife. If a small fish like me doesn't listen, won't I be meat on his chopping board? "
Zhan Ning 'er said with disdain, "Spineless!"
Ye Xiaotian sighed, "Miss, I don't have a Chieftain King to back me up. A wise man submits to circumstances."
