"He's not the rightful elder to be called the Great Elder. If the Grand Elder wasn't in his right mind before his death, why would he have chosen him?"
"If it were in the past, he would have been the Great Elder, but he was seriously injured and his foundation was damaged. He will never have the chance to be promoted to a Divine Soul Priest. I'm afraid his future cultivation will be inferior to ours. Why should he be the Great Elder?"
Mu Hanyan stopped when she heard these words.
"Elder Ye, it seems like I came at the wrong time. Why don't I go directly to the main temple?" Mu Hanyan said to Ye Congyun.
No wonder those servants had seemed respectful when they saw Ye Congyun, but were actually perfunctory. It turned out that Ye Congyun had become the Great Elder only because of the dying wish of the Grand Elder, and many in the clan were dissatisfied. Her coming to the Ye family had actually caused trouble for Ye Congyun.
"Master Mu, please don't mind. Back then, our Ye family owed a great favor to the ancestors of the Gao family. If it weren't for his help, our Ye family might have been forced to leave Xiaoshentian long ago. So the head of the family at that time gave the Gao family the Patriarch Order and left a will. No matter who it is, as long as they hold this order, they will be treated as honored guests of our Ye family. No matter what happens, our Ye family must do their utmost to help. This is also the ancestral precept of our Ye family.
I didn't tell them about Brother Pengcheng's letter. They don't know you hold the Patriarch's Order, the 24th Patriarch, so they might have some complaints. Now that they know, everything's fine." Ye Congyun's expression also looked a little grim, but he still insisted.
Seeing Ye Congyun so insistent, Mu Hanyan could only let him do it.
"Cough..." Ye Congyun coughed and walked into the conference hall with Mu Hanyan.
Seeing Ye Congyun coming in, several elders in the hall showed a hint of embarrassment. Although they were not convinced by the great elder, as fellow elders, it was not in keeping with their status to talk behind his back.
"Great Elder, you finally decided to come back." But after only a moment's silence, someone said sarcastically.
"It's really hard for the Great Elder. Even at this critical moment, he still has the energy to run around. If it were us, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to share the joy anyway."
"Yes, that's why the Great Elder was praised as the greatest genius of our Ye family in ten thousand years when he was young. We can't match his spirit." Others also echoed, their faces full of sarcasm.
Ye Congyun's expression became even uglier, but he still forced himself not to lose his temper.
"Let me introduce you. This is Mu Hanyan, the chief priest of the Flower Rain Temple and also the new right priest of the Life Temple.
This is my Ye family's second elder, Ye Congshan, the third elder, Ye Congshui, and the fourth elder, Ye Conglong," Ye Congyun introduced.
"Greetings, elders." Mu Hanyan said politely with a bow.
Although I don’t like the sarcasm of these old men, they are still elders of the Ye family after all, so I’ll just consider it as giving face to Ye Congyun.
"No need for formalities." Several old men snorted with their noses turned up, which was considered a greeting.
Soon, a servant brought tea.
"Grand Elder, are you going on this long journey just to pick her up? Is a mere Right Priest of the Temple of Life worth your long journey?" After taking a few sips of tea, the Second Elder Ye Congshan asked sarcastically.
"Could it be that the Great Elder thinks she is more important than the life and death of our Ye family, or that he thinks she can help our Ye family overcome difficulties?" The Third Elder Ye Congshui spoke even more bluntly.
"Take a look at what this is first." Ye Congyun finally took out the family head order.
"The order from the head of the family!" Ye Congshan and others were slightly surprised.
