Zagre paused in his salute, and the casual smile on his face gradually stiffened. After a long time, he stood up pretending nothing had happened.
"It was Zagre who offended me. Please don't blame me, ancestor."
Nahan Oren frowned as he saw that his ancestor still disliked Sager as always. He still admired his nephew's abilities, but the conflict between his ancestor and Sager had lasted for a long time.
Thinking of his intention to pass the throne to Sager, Nahan Oren brought Sager here today to mediate.
But unexpectedly, the old man's attitude was as tough as ever, and his dislike for Sagres was almost written on his face.
The old ancestor ignored Sager's apology, pulled Bai Yuzhi to his side, and said to Nahan Oren: "Why did the Khan bring him here?"
Nahan Oren was helpless: "Grandfather, Sager is also your great-grandson, why can't he come to see you?"
"Hmph," the old man snorted coldly, not even glancing at Zagre who was standing beside him. "He came to see me, knowing full well that I didn't want to, but still forced himself on me, fearing that I wouldn't survive this year."
"Ancestor!"
The old ancestor was very old, and Nahan Oren could not bear to hear this. His face turned black when he heard it, and he roared in a low voice.
The old ancestor also knew that his words had hit Nahan Oren in the heart. He knew that he had spoken out of turn, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
The grandfather and grandson were in a stalemate, neither of them willing to give in first. Bai Yuzhi looked at them and felt that it was time for him to make a move.
Bai Yuzhi first straightened the blanket covering the old ancestor's legs, which had slipped off due to her anger, and then smoothed out the wrinkles.
"Grandfather, those were just angry words, but I see that you are in good spirits. Not everyone can lose their temper sometimes, and you are still strong. Judging from this, when I reach your age, you might still be able to hit me with your cane."
She spoke tactfully, attributing the old ancestor's harsh words to angry remarks and mentioning her longevity, thus not offending either side. Seeing the tense faces of the grandfather and granddaughter relax, it was clear that what Bai Yuzhi said was exactly what they wanted.
The anger that the old ancestor had been holding in his heart was largely relieved by Bai Yuzhi's words, so his temper naturally became less severe. Seeing that Nahan Oren was still a little unhappy, he finally gave him a way out.
"You are a good coaxer, girl. I wonder how much more clever you are than your great Khan."
Nahan Olun also came down the steps and replied, "My grandson has good eyesight and found such a sensible person."
The atmosphere relaxed, and of the four people in the tent, only Sager was still in an awkward state. The old ancestor deliberately didn't want to pay attention to him, and Bai Yuzhi naturally didn't want to bother with him either. Although Nahan Oren had the intention, he really couldn't go against the old ancestor's wishes, so he finally gave up and signaled Sager to leave with his eyes.
Although Sager didn't show it on his face, he actually hated his ancestor in his heart for a long time. He hated his ancestor for giving him such an embarrassing situation, and he also hated Nahan Oren for not speaking to him unconditionally.
But one is the grandmother who helped Nahan Oren grow up and supported him to ascend the throne of Khan, and the other is the nephew who he admires and loves. Sager really doesn't want to think about why he thinks Nahan Oren must favor him.
This is Sager's pattern. In his conception, everyone and everything are serving him. Once something does not revolve around him, he will bear grudges and complain. Otherwise, how can you say he is an ungrateful person? It depends on how he treats Nahan Oren, who cultivated him, in the future.
Bai Yuzhi noticed the change in Sagle's eyes. He seemed to withdraw respectfully, but in fact he was already thinking about how to take revenge.
It seems that she must speed up her plan. The separation between Nahan Oren and Sagel is imminent, so it is best to give birth to a child as soon as possible.
After Sager left, the old ancestor looked at Nahan Oren, then at the well-behaved Bai Yuzhi, and suddenly sighed.
"Tell me, why do you have to go against Changshengtian? You know exactly why I don't want to see him. If he wasn't your nemesis, and I wasn't a wooden man, how could I not love my own great-grandson?"
Nahan Oren's expression changed: "Grandma! Why are you bringing this up again?"
The old ancestor remained calm and said, "Why can't I say it? I like Lao Jiu. She has caught my eye. I don't treat her as an outsider. Today I really can't help but express my feelings!"
"You've truly forgotten what the Great Witch's master said before he passed away, sitting on the altar for nine days and nine nights when he was born in Zagreb!"
"He said that this Sagle is a Greedy Wolf, a life curse, and his official position will harm his relatives, and that relative is you!"
The old ancestor was very disappointed: "I said at the beginning to send him far away and take good care of him. This child has a curse on him. Otherwise, how could you end up like this? You don't even have a complete child!"
At this point, the old ancestor was already crying, and Nahan Oren himself had red eyes.
As the saying goes, men don't shed tears easily, but only when they are heartbroken.
Seeing how heartbroken the grandfather and grandson were, Bai Yuzhi finally understood why the original book said that Nahan Oren was a person with a "curse".
It's not a real curse at all. It's because his luck conflicts with the male protagonist. He doesn't have such a big halo, but he has abilities that are even bigger than the male protagonist's halo. The way of heaven in this world can only use this kind of "curse" to balance it so that His own son can take the throne.
As for why Nahan Oren did not send Sagel away as his ancestors had said, Bai Yuzhi probably understood the reason. Nahan Oren did not believe in destiny. He might believe in Changshengtian, but that was only because he wanted to protect his grassland and people. As for himself, Nahan Oren might be more willing to believe that man can conquer nature.
Otherwise, Nahan Olun would not have slaughtered people in public like a killer god during the war with the Great Chu, leading to the legend of him drinking blood and eating raw meat. Because he did not believe in karma, he could treat his enemies as cruelly as livestock.
Nahan Oren turned his face away, his voice hoarse: "But if what the great shaman said at the time was true, and Sager was really the source of all this, then why was the eldest prince born before Sager, and still..."
He was reluctant to finish, and everyone understood what he meant.
The ancestor really couldn't explain this, so he fell silent.
After a long while, she finally said to Nahan Oren, "I am old now, and I just want to see you have a child that you love. I don't want to discuss Sagle's affairs with you anymore, and you don't need to bring him to see me anymore."
Nahan Oren looked straight at his ancestor.
"But grandmother, I have decided to train Sager to be the heir to the Khan's throne."
A suffocating silence.
The old ancestor was so angry that his face turned blue and purple, and he seemed to be about to faint.
Seeing this, Bai Yuzhi hurriedly helped her up, and Nahan Olun quickly found the medicine from a drawer and gave it to the old ancestor.
