The elder chuckled: "I know why you don't want to be the elder, and I know your concerns. Don't worry, I have a way to handle everything. When the time comes, you just need to inherit the position of elder."
At that time...
Chang Yue panicked.
He couldn't wait until then, he couldn't let them break the rules, and he couldn't let Fei Han know that he could take over at the same time!
Chang Yue closed his eyes and figured out how to deal with Fei Han in almost a second.
What's your idea?
The elder feigned mystery: "You'll find out in a while. Anyway, you better behave yourself. You're my most valued student. If you can't inherit my mantle, I won't rest in peace even after I die."
"Teacher, what nonsense are you talking about? If you keep saying that, I'll get angry. I will study medicine diligently and make sure you live to be a hundred years old."
"Alright, alright, I know you're being filial. You don't need to worry about this. Just focus on taking care of your household affairs now."
Fei Han had just seen the witch doctor off when he turned around and saw Chang Yue standing behind him.
Fei Han was taken aback: "Chang Yue, weren't you asleep?"
Chang Yue shook his head, then said, "Feihan, I heard everything. The elders want you to take over, right?"
Fei Han said helplessly, "Chang Yue, you know that my ambition lies elsewhere, and the position of elder has always been your goal."
Chang Yue shook his head: "Although it is my goal, I cannot take over if I do not perform well."
Fei Han frowned, disliking his dejected look: "Chang Yue, what nonsense are you talking about? You've always done a great job."
Chang Yue followed him to the table and sat down: "Feihan, actually there are many things I am powerless to do, but I dare not let anyone know. I am afraid that if someone else becomes an elder, he will see me, the successor of the former elder, as a thorn in his side. But you are different. I know you would not do that to me."
"Of course I wouldn't do that." Fei Han's face was full of sincerity.
Chang Yue smiled slightly: "If you were to take over, I would be willing to give up this position."
"Chang Yue, you know I won't take over..."
Chang Yue interrupted him: "No, you must take over."
Chang Yue patted his shoulder: "You know, the elder's health isn't good, so we'd better not provoke him and go along with his wishes. If you go against his will, he'll definitely be unhappy. Fei Han, you don't want to make him unhappy, right?"
Fei Han nodded: "I didn't want to upset the teacher."
"In that case, you should listen to him and show that you will take over the position."
"But what about you?" Fei Han frowned.
Chang Yue said, "Don't worry about me. You should take over smoothly first and make the elder happy. Then, after the witch doctor steps down, you can hand over the position of elder to me."
Will this work?
“Why not?” Chang Yue looked at him. “You’ve forgotten that if you’re no longer up to the task of being an elder, you can step down voluntarily. Of course, if you want to continue being an elder, I will help you.”
Fei Han quickly replied, "I won't."
"Alright, alright, I know you won't." Chang Yue patted him reassuringly and continued, "Anyway, just listen to the elders and start handling internal affairs. I have a few people under my command who are always by my side. If you need anything, just tell them to do it."
"Well... alright then, Chang Yue, thank you." Having achieved his goal, Chang Yue smiled slightly: "Why are you being so polite with me?"
...
After hearing his story, Fei Han was stunned for a long time: "So, this is your reason for having Guan Zuo ambush me and kill me?"
"That's right, if you hadn't died, how could I possibly have gotten the position of elder?"
Fei Han gave a mocking smile, but it was tinged with bitterness: "So what if we take over at the same time? You know perfectly well that I promised you that I would give you the position of elder."
"So what if you agree? Who knows if you'll get addicted? People's hearts are the hardest to fathom. Do you think I'll believe you?" Chang Yue said without hesitation.
"Yes, the human heart is the most unpredictable thing," Fei Han said with a light sneer.
"If you had stayed in the White Tiger Tribe, that would have been fine, but you insisted on coming back. What are you doing back? Are you trying to steal my things again?"
Fei Han looked at him and said, "Chang Yue, what the teacher said is right. Your character is not good, and you are not worth my friendship."
The teacher is right; he shouldn't open his heart to those who are only superficially kind, as that could easily ruin him.
Chang Yue laughed. After speaking his mind, his emotions stabilized considerably and were no longer so turbulent: "Feihan, for the sake of our childhood, I brought you some medicine. Apply it carefully and try to live to see the day the new Beast King ascends the throne, so you can witness my glorious reign."
After saying that, he left the prison.
Fei Han closed her eyes and lay motionless on the ground.
Although Chang Yue said that Wanwan and Wangye fell off the cliff together, he could sense that Wanwan was alright and alive.
As long as I know Wanwan is safe, it doesn't matter if he dies.
Mo Zhou, who had witnessed everything from the roof beam, swam up to Fei Han and looked at him with pity: "Fei Han, you're really in a bad situation. Even your wings have been pierced."
Fei Han opened her eyes and saw Mo Zhou in front of her: "Mo Zhou? What are you doing here? Go find Wan Wan quickly, Chang Yue said she fell off a cliff, the only cliff in Beast City is the one at the back mountain, cough cough cough..."
He became more and more anxious as he spoke, and finally he started coughing violently.
Mo Zhou was worried that he would cough himself to death, so he transformed back into human form and gently patted his back.
