"Master, you are too kind."
Ye Wuque bowed again.
Ye Wuque could naturally sense the undisguised admiration in Taishu Maizhu's tone.
The blood relationship between Taishu Patriarch and Taishu Rou is the most important foundation!
Because Shi Lan told him that Taishu Maizhu had no children so far and had no descendants, which meant that Taishu Rou was his only descendant. Although she was a niece, she was really no different from a daughter.
Therefore, Tai Shu Rou's successful recovery made Tai Shu Maizhu extremely surprised and excited.
Because he loves Ye Wuque so much, he naturally feels grateful to him.
"I know Rou'er. She's been incredibly intelligent and opinionated since she was little. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also exceptional at knowing how to use people wisely. She's a natural born for power!"
"Originally, I planned to train her to take over the position of head of Taishu's lineage, but she... was even more outstanding than I imagined! She actually passed the Goddess selection with one stroke, becoming the first Goddess in the history of our Five Great Gods!"
When Taishu Maizhu talked about Taishu Rou's glorious history, satisfaction and comfort surged in his bright eyes.
"When Rou'er disappeared inexplicably in the past, I was anxious and angry. I tried every possible means but found no clues. From that moment on, I knew that someone in the five major divine surnames wanted Rou'er... dead!" Taishu Pulse Master's voice was cold.
He looked at Ye Wuque, paused, and then spoke again, his tone becoming sincere and direct.
"Master Ye, according to the rules and traditions of the Five Great Divine Clans, the position of Holy Protector is extremely important! It is neither reasonable nor moral to allow an outsider to take this position."
"but!"
"I believe in Rou'er's vision, and now, I also believe what I see!"
"So, Master Ye, I have already chosen you as the Protector of the Dao."
“That’s my attitude!”
Taishu Maizhu expressed his firm attitude.
This is also the reason why he came to meet Ye Wuque as soon as he arrived.
"Thank you, Master." Ye Wuque responded.
But the Taishu Clan Master continued to sigh, "Young Master Ye, I think you should already know that the Five Great Divine Clans are not actually harmonious, let alone harmonious. Not only are the five major clans fighting for power and profit, but they are also oppressing each other."
"Even within every meridian, it's the same!"
"This is the drawback that arises when a large power becomes overbearing and overly dominant over time!"
"Although I am the leader of the lineage, there are still those within Taishu's lineage who are eager to fight for power and profit."
"Compared to other matters on a daily basis, I believe I can suppress everything and prevent them from making any rash moves."
"But...the Holy Lord selection is so special!"
At this point, Taishu Maizhu's tone also showed a hint of sigh and helplessness.
"This is the most ancient, most glorious, and most fair ceremony of the Five Great Gods!"
"But because of this, anyone who meets the standard conditions is eligible to participate and cannot be suppressed."
"Rou'er is one of the selected candidates. Right now, along with the other selected candidates, seven of us are on the Five Gods Mountain, waiting for the selection to officially begin in three days!"
"As for the Holy Protectors... they are mainly selected according to the will of the selectors!"
"But it's not just that."
"Just like my great uncle's lineage, although Rou'er was the only candidate, there were more than one outstanding person who met the criteria and wanted to become a Holy Protector!"
"Before this, there were a total of five Holy Envoys who met the requirements. However, over the past few days, they have been competing among themselves and using various methods, and in the end, only two remain..."
"Wind God!"
"Qingtian!"
"They were all already exceptional geniuses of Taishu's lineage, and now, after years of development, they have become even more exceptional! Their attainments at the Mysterious God level are already extraordinary!"
"As the leader of the meridians, I cannot prohibit them or interfere with them due to the special mechanism of the Holy Lord's selection. You must know this, Mr. Ye." Taishu Meridian Leader said solemnly.
Ye Wuque raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "This Holy Envoy is not some hot commodity. If we fail, we will all be honored and disgraced, and it will be fatal! Do you still want to snatch this?"
Upon hearing this, Taishu Patience Master shook his head and chuckled: "Young Master Ye, you don't know that within our five great divine families, the selection of the Holy Lord is of great significance. It is an honor even in death! And once successful, leaving a name in history is not enough to describe it..."
"And now, Fengshenzi and Qingtian already know Rou'er's choice and your disguised identity. So, after you arrive at my uncle's lineage, I'm afraid it won't be long before they come looking for you."
"I cannot and am not allowed to interfere in this matter."
Taishu Pulse Master said with a sigh.
After hearing this, Ye Wuque could naturally understand Taishu Maizhu's position.
At the same time, he also likely knew why Tai Shurou was so desperate to gamble and start the Holy Lord selection in order to ascend to the Holy Lord position!
The five major divine families have had problems for a long time, fighting against each other and vying for power. If there is no thunderous intervention and the situation is overturned, the consequences will be disastrous.
But this can only be done by the "Holy Lord"!
"Master, are you worried that they will find ways to embarrass me and make me lose my status as the Holy Envoy of the Dao?" Ye Wuque asked softly.
The Taishu Patience Master sighed and nodded. "That's right. After all, all the candidates are now on the Five Gods Mountain. Although the will has long been determined to choose the Holy Envoy to protect the way, in the end, someone else went up the mountain. We can only passively accept it! There is no way to change it. So..."
"Master, how far can I go?"
Ye Wuque's voice sounded calmly, as if he was asking Taishu Pulse Master.
The Great Uncle Pulse Master was slightly taken aback!
"If they come looking for me..." Ye Wuque added.
At this moment, Taishu Patient Master understood what was going on. His eyes became increasingly surprised, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter!
He saw in Ye Wuque the confidence, composure, and the aura of a fearless warrior who was determined to fight against all odds!
This is the undefeated temperament that can only be born after going through countless battles and countless bloody storms.
"Hahaha! Mr. Ye, don't worry, as long as no one dies or is killed, I can take care of the rest for you!"
"Similarly, although I can't interfere with them, they can't try to plot anything against you either!"
"If you want to fight, do it openly. If someone wants to do something behind the scenes, then... hey!"
At this moment, the Taishu Clan Leader laughed out loud, as if he was infected by Ye Wuque's fearless and powerful emotions, and finally revealed the strength and arrogance of a lineage leader!
He will stand behind Ye Wuque and protect him!
Because he trusted Tai Shurou, he also chose to trust Ye Wuque!
Hearing this, Ye Wuque smiled faintly again.
"That's enough..."
