But what Gong Yu said next made the Great Elder's expression change again and again, and his eyes looking at Gong Yu were also erratic, and he couldn't guess what Gong Yu was thinking.
"Great Elder, I'm not happy with what you said. I actually feel that neither I nor Yan Bian are suitable for the position of Patriarch. On the contrary, I think you are very suitable."
The head of the Yan family was stunned.
Why does it sound like there's something else behind Gong Yu's words?
"What do you mean by that?"
Gong Yu was in no hurry to answer. Instead, he slowly poured a cup of tea for the elder and another for himself. He put down the teapot and said, "Elder, from our conversation just now, I have sensed that you are a man of great ambitions. You are very knowledgeable and familiar with the Yan family, and most importantly, you care deeply about the Yan family."
What Gong Yu said was true.
Although the Great Elder had known about the injury of Patriarch Yan for a long time and had assigned people to monitor Patriarch Yan, he had never thought of killing him.
He was just waiting for the day when the head of the Yan family died.
If Gong Yu had not appeared this time and the head of the Yan family had not suddenly disappeared, the Great Elder would not have suddenly lost his composure and put all the blame on Gong Yu.
Even just now, he was only controlling Yan Bian and had no real intention of killing Yan Bian.
However, Yan Bian's sudden escape once again made the Great Elder confused.
The Great Elder is not a person who is very submissive, but he is not someone who will lose his composure easily. However, if this matter concerns the life and death of the Yan family, the Great Elder will make any sacrifice for the Yan family.
Including the head of the Yan family and Yan Bian, as well as himself.
This was not noticed by Gong Yu, but after the head of the Yan family died in the previous life, Mu De took over the Yan family forcefully, but was strongly counterattacked by the great elder.
It was also under the protection of the Great Elder that Yan Bian was able to successfully escape from the Yan family and join Mu Nian's camp.
It is precisely because Gong Yu understands this that he sits here and gives the Great Elder a chance to turn from evil to good, instead of killing him from the very beginning.
"Great Elder, for the past ten years, the head of the Yan family has been in seclusion, rarely intervening in the affairs of the Yan family. Yan Bian is young and dislikes being in charge, so he has devoted all his attention to cultivation. As a result, although Yan Bian has served as the acting head of the family for the past ten years, you have been the one who actually managed the family affairs."
Gong Yu spoke very sincerely, and the respect in his tone moved the Great Elder.
His nose felt sore and his eyes became moist for no reason.
For so many years, he has been working tirelessly to manage the affairs of the Yan family, but who has ever truly understood his intentions?
They all thought that he was greedy for the position of head of the family and the supreme power.
Over time, even he himself is about to forget his original intention, right?
Suddenly, the Great Elder felt a little ashamed.
Feeling guilty for everything I did today.
At the same time, he also felt ashamed for not caring about the injury of the head of the Yan family.
Gong Yu seemed to have read the Great Elder's thoughts and said, "Great Elder, you don't need to feel guilty."
"We are all human, and being human we are bound to make mistakes."
"As the saying goes, making mistakes is not terrible. What's terrible is knowing you're wrong and still making the same mistake over and over again."
"Great Elder, do you think what I said makes sense?"
Gong Yu's tone was always lukewarm, as if she was talking about something insignificant, but every word she said touched the heart of the Great Elder.
