Chapter 775: Take One Step at a Time
The third elder's words saved little Naituan from the resentment of leaving his parents.
So there was one more person in the entourage.
"Jiyue Island is located at the border between S Continent and X Continent. It is closer to X Continent and can be reached by boat. It was bought by the Weiwu League several decades ago and later became a holy place for martial arts training."
Qiao Yanmeng stood on the deck of the cruise ship, looking at the rough sea not far away, and introduced it to Zhan Tingbei in a casual manner.
During these two days, she also briefly told him about her childhood experiences and the miserable conditions she experienced during her years in the Weiwu League.
"What I was most thankful for at the time was that I still had a senior brother. We could practice martial arts together and be punished by several masters in turn. He was really amazing and could persist for so long."
Qiao Yanmeng expressed a lot of praise for her senior brother during her conversation.
Zhan Tingbei snorted, "No matter how good your senior brother is, can he be as good as me?"
Qiao Yanmeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Her eldest senior brother, named Wei Lingfeng, was also picked up by the master from somewhere else. He was a powerful figure with extremely high talent in martial arts.
Qiao Yanmeng still remembers Wei Lingfeng's face, which was cracked by the sea breeze and darkened by the scorching sun on the beach.
"We'll be able to see him when the ship docks." Looking at the small island getting closer and closer in the distance, Qiao Yanmeng smiled and spoke.
Zhan Tingbei was helpless and hugged her shoulders. "You are amazing. You've already made me jealous before I even met your so-called senior brother."
"Girl, come here, we have something to talk about." The third elder waved at her.
Qiao Yanmeng was stunned for a moment. The time was almost up, so why did he have something to say now?
"Do you remember? We told you in Jiang City that we would let you succeed the position of leader." The great elder sat at the top, holding a cup of tea in his hand, scraping the tea foam from time to time.
The other two elders sat on either side, both with solemn expressions.
Qiao Yanmeng sensed something was wrong and nodded, "I remember, but I don't think I'm suitable. I'm sure you three know that Senior Brother has been studying hard in order to inherit the position of leader one day."
"Pah!" The Great Elder put down the teacup, his eyes cold, "He is not suitable, and we will not give him the position of leader."
Qiao Yanmeng couldn't help but frown, "Why?"
"You little bitch, you didn't give the position of alliance leader to others, so why are you so ungrateful? Do you know how much effort the three of us put in to get the position of alliance leader to steal it from you?" The third elder was a little angry and stood up.
Qiao Yanmeng was even more confused.
Hasn't she always been in charge of keeping the alliance leader's order in the ancestral hall of the alliance? What's going on?
"Your eldest senior brother is no longer the innocent young man he used to be. Over the years, we have grown older, and he has served as the acting leader for a period of time.
But he didn't put his heart into martial arts, but was keen on making friends with some dignitaries in the surrounding areas, turning a good Weiwu League into a mess. Tell me, how can we tolerate this?"
The elder sighed and said to Qiao Yanmeng, "Girl, this is not the time for you to think about old feelings. You have to consider the overall situation. Do you understand?"
Several people were talking to each other, making Qiao Yanmeng feel very confused.
She had never thought of replacing her eldest senior brother as the leader, even though she was acting as the leader before he left.
She always thought that the masters were interested in Wei Lingfeng.
"What happened?" When they returned to the guest room, Zhan Tingbei saw that she looked unwell and came over to her.
The little baby also jumped into his mother's arms, raised his cute little face, and said, "Mommy, hug me."
Qiao Yanmeng felt shuddering and a little embarrassed.
"This is a long story. Let's take it one step at a time." She forced a smile.
A few hours later, the ship docked and the long-lost Jiyue Island came into view.
Perhaps it had rained not long ago, and the island was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, making it look dreamy and giving people the illusion of being in a fantasy forest.
"Wow, what a big coconut tree, and what a tall gate!" As soon as the little girl got off the boat, she was shocked by everything she saw and laughed from ear to ear.
"Three masters, little junior sister." A tall and strong man walked over with a warm smile on his face.
If not Wei Lingfeng, then who else could it be?
Qiao Yanmeng was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised at Wei Lingfeng's change.
In her impression, the eldest senior brother was a young man who loved martial arts. He usually wore simple and comfortable white training clothes and old cloth shoes. He said that this kind of dress was the most comfortable. He also liked to shave his head, saying it was convenient.
His face is always dark, his eyes are dark and deep, and he looks like an honest man.
But now...
I have to admit that time really changes everything.
Wei Lingfeng was wearing a low-key but luxurious and expensive high-end handmade suit, which was neat and tidy from top to bottom. He also had a diamond brooch on his chest, which looked very valuable.
What surprised her most was his eyes. They were still full of enthusiasm and it was obvious that he really welcomed them back. But she didn't know if it was her illusion. She always felt that Wei Lingfeng had changed in some way.
"Senior brother, long time no see, you have become more handsome." Qiao Yanmeng looked at him as usual, and walked forward to hug the simple and honest senior brother in her memory.
