The fourth elder, Chen Qinghe, had a happy face. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Once upon a time, because of his dull qualifications, he was ignored by his clan, and even his cousin, whom he longed for, looked down upon him.
The turning point of his fate was when he was out for training. The herders came to him and promised to give him enough training resources on the condition that he would become a traitor arranged by them in the Chen clan.
At that time, he realized that his opportunity had come. With his own talent, he would never be able to have a place in the clan, but with the help of the herdsman, he would have the possibility to soar into the sky!
For the sake of power and status, he agreed almost without hesitation, and he has been loyal to the herdsmen over the years.
And his years of loyalty finally paid off handsomely. After the death of the clan leader, and after the herdsmen decided to support the Chen clan, he naturally became the best candidate for the new clan leader!
Only he can ensure the loyalty of the Chen Clan to the Mu Clan, and only he can lead the Chen Clan out of their predicament and towards new glory!
"Elders, the dead have passed away. It is time for our Chen clan to move towards a new era!"
"To be honest, the reason why the herdsmen are willing to rescue me, the Chen clan, this time is because I foresee the development of the situation in advance and ask for help from the herdsmen in time."
Facing the elders, Chen Qinghe talked eloquently and confidently, completely forgetting the fact that he was a traitor, and taking credit for the Chen clan's ability to avoid annihilation!
The elders were silent after hearing this, and glanced at Holy King Litian one after another, and found that he did not refute what the fourth elder said, but quietly found a seat to sit down, pretending not to interfere in the internal affairs of the Chen clan.
However, even though he didn't say anything, it invisibly put great pressure on people. What he meant, what the herdsman meant, was very clear!
The feeling of being coerced was not pleasant. Seeing the four elders showing off their sharp edges, all the elders didn't know what to do.
The Chen Clan has the pride of the Chen Clan. The reason why their ancestors disappeared back then was closely related to the Mu Clan. Logically speaking, they were not willing or willing to become affiliated with the Mu Clan.
However, the development of the situation did not allow them to refuse, and without even giving them a chance to delay, Holy King Litian directly put the knife on their necks!
The pull between emotion and reason resulted in the silence of many elders. Even the great elder's breathing became rapid and he hesitated to speak several times.
Although today's meeting was proposed by the Fourth Elder, he actually already had an idea about the candidate for the new clan leader.
The Chen clan needs to move into a new era. The fourth elder is right about this, but in his opinion, the person who can lead the Chen clan in the future should not be the fourth elder, but...
The Great Elder glanced at Gu Chen beside him. The talent, courage and friendship he had shown during this period had already convinced him that he was the best candidate for the new clan leader.
Only young people can represent the new era, let alone such outstanding young people!
The person who can make the Chen clan rise must be Chen Yunfei, not a shameless traitor like Chen Qinghe!
The Great Elder wanted to speak out to refute the Fourth Elder and propose to appoint the young man next to him as the clan leader, but his reason made him clenched his fists and he was unable to speak!
If he had said that, given his prestige among the elders, he would definitely get the greatest support. However, in doing so, it would be tantamount to refuting the face of Holy King Litian present, and the consequences would be disastrous!
What should we do?
The great elder felt a mixture of heaven and man in his heart, but at this moment he saw Gu Chen smiling and speaking calmly.
"The four elders are loyal to our clan, and the world can tell. I believe that the position of clan leader should be inherited by the fourth elder, not the second choice!"
The first sentence sounded like sarcasm, which made Chen Qinghe's face darken, but the second sentence that followed left him stunned for a moment.
Not only him, but all the elders present were stunned, and even the Holy King Litian sitting next to him showed a look of surprise.
Although he didn't pay much attention to Chen Yunfei, he knew from Chen Qinghe's report that the relationship between the two was quite bad.
Although Chen Qinghe's ambition to seize the position of clan leader was obvious, before he could elaborate on it, Chen Yunfei was the first to express his approval and even said that he would not be the second candidate.
He said this, if other elders dare to have any ideas, they will offend Chen Qinghe to death, which is equivalent to blocking everyone's mouth!
"It turns out that they are just people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and follow the influence of others."
Litian's eyes showed sarcasm and he said in his heart.
Previously, I saw that the monks from all sides in this manpower battle were somewhat bloody, but it turned out that they were not exempt from the commonality after all.
But yes, for such a small person, his herdsmen are the ones who cannot be offended. If there is a chance to curry favor, what does the so-called integrity mean?
"Hahaha, Yunfei, you are wrong to say that. The position of clan leader should be jointly elected by all the elders. This is only fair!"
Chen Qinghe came back to his senses and said hypocritically, but the pride on his face could not be concealed at all.
This guy looked aloof before, but he didn't expect that he would please him so much now. Power feels so good!
"The fourth elder is right. I wonder if the elders have any other suitable candidates?"
Gu Chenying and Chen Qinghe, these words made the elder who originally intended to recommend him as the clan leader feel like he was stuck in the throat for a moment!
Is this the unspeakable disappointment in his heart? Is this the case for the young man he has placed high hopes on?
"There is truly no more suitable candidate than the Fourth Elder."
Gu Chen spoke first, and several elders who had already seen the direction of the trend lost their psychological burden and spoke in agreement.
More elders looked at the great elder Chen Shanming. They respected the great elder, and even if the Holy King was present, they still followed his lead.
Chen Shanming knew that he had to make a choice, and Gu Chen's words just now stopped all his other thoughts. He finally said with a sullen face: "This time our Chen clan can escape, the fourth elder really deserves the most credit. He will be the one who takes the responsibility."
I have no objection to the new clan leader!"
With the prestige of the Great Elder, these words were like the final word. Seeing that his long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled, Chen Qinghe beamed with joy. He was truly proud of the spring breeze.
Seeing that Chen Qinghe had successfully become the clan leader, Holy King Litian stood up and left the hall without even saying hello.
He was not interested in the details of the next meeting of the Chen clan. He stayed in Dingkong Mountain just to ensure that Chen Qinghe would become the leader of the clan.
Now that the task was completed, it was time for him to leave. As for how the Chen clan would be loyal to the herders in the future, someone would naturally give Chen Qinghe instructions.
"It's just a Chen clan, but it took up a lot of my time."
Holy King Litian snorted coldly and left while everyone saluted respectfully.
Gu Chen was in the saluting team, bowing and looking at his leaving figure with a smile on his face.
