All Heavens: Starting from Douluo
Chapter 1681 The Plot Behind the Scenes
"Kuzouba."
"Can you answer my question now?"
"I need a definite answer."
"You can answer that I am from the Yunlan Sect."
"You can also answer that I am Yun Leng's dog."
"Or, another possibility is that you come up with some new ideas and give me an answer that is independent of these two paths."
"But you have to speak up eventually."
"Isn't it?"
As soon as these words came out, Ge Ye's body trembled.
As if there was an electric shock, he quickly stood up.
He respectfully bowed to Lin Chaoci as a junior.
Afterwards, with a hint of grievance in his tone, he no longer cared about his face. After all, if he cared about his face and covered up for Nalan Yanran and the designer behind the scenes, the result would only be that Lin Chaoci would catch him and make a big deal out of it. Considering Lin Chaoci's identity and the fact that the flood had washed away the Dragon King Temple, even if Lin Chaoci executed him on the spot, the many elders and the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect would not think that there was anything wrong with this approach. It could even be said that even the opinions of Nalan Yanran and the designer behind the scenes were insignificant, because this approach had already involved internal strife. As everyone knows, although the current cultivation world has a variety of means, there should still be a bottom line. The Yunlan Sect is one of the sects in the righteous camp and attaches more importance to these rules of the game. He is a small outer sect deacon and does not have the qualifications to challenge the rules of the game or let others modify the rules of the game for him.
Therefore, it’s a matter of face or life.
Ge Ye said clearly: "Reporting to Uncle Master, I had no choice but to do this. Moreover, the person who ordered me to do this did not tell me the details, that is, your identity. Otherwise, I would never dare to offend you and the Xiao family..."
What Ge Ye said was true.
Lin Chaoci also knew this.
After all, he is a member of the Xiao family.
According to this line, the Xiao family is considered to be a member of the Yunlan Sect, similar to the Mo family. In short, their position in the Yunlan Sect is at least not lower than that of the Mo family, because the level of this family positioning has nothing to do with the strength of the family, but is related to the status of family members in the Yunlan Sect. Although some of the Mo family disciples have joined the outer sect of the Yunlan Sect, no one has joined the inner sect so far. Moreover, Mo Cheng is only an outer sect deacon, and he is definitely not comparable to people of Lin Chaoci and Xiaodie's status.
Therefore, Fan Yunling knew this relationship.
There was no way he would resort to such a desperate measure.
Encourage Nalan Yanran to come to the Xiao family to break off the engagement.
However, in the eyes of Ge Ye, who was completely unaware of the situation, it seemed that the Great Elder Yun Ling was deliberately trying to trick him. Logically speaking, someone of Yun Ling's status could not be unaware of Lin Chaoci's background. Plus, Nalan Yanran was someone whom he, the Great Elder, could not afford to offend. With the two of them facing each other, it would be better to throw this hot potato to someone else and let someone else take the blame instead of himself. Even if something happened, he would just pull this unlucky guy out to take the blame. In this way, the matter would be solved on the surface, and he would not have to take responsibility, and he might even get a share of the credit.
It's a situation where you won't lose no matter what you do.
of course.
Ge Ye's idea was purely overthinking.
If only Yun Leng knew Lin Chaoci's identity.
There was no way he could have made this happen.
Therefore, Lin Chaoci would not whitewash Yun Leng's share of the blame, but he would not put the blame on Yun Leng for the blame that did not belong to him. He waved his hand and said casually, "The person who ordered you to do this did not intend to harm you. The fact is, he also didn't know my specific identity. Looking at the entire Yunlan Sect, there are only two people who know my specific identity. One is Master Yunshan, and the other is Senior Sister Yunyun. That's why I said this was a misunderstanding. You don't have to think too much. This matter does not involve internal strife. At most, it is some errors in decision-making. Judging from your appearance, although you are not a smart person, you are not confused either. You should be clear about my status in the sect. As long as the people who ordered you to do this are not Master and Senior Sister, I can handle any pressure. So, I want to hear the truth!"
"Disciple understands!"
After hearing Lin Chaoci's explanation, Ge Ye was obviously relieved.
There is still pressure though.
But as long as the upper level is not chaotic, it's fine.
Besides, there was no need for Lin Chaoci to lie to him.
It went from a high-level game to a misunderstanding.
This demotion was enough to make him reveal some unknown inside stories, including his own opinions: "The person who assigned the disciples to accompany Miss Yanran to cancel the engagement was Great Elder Yunling. Great Elder Yunling once told the disciples that there are some things that the Sect Master is definitely not convenient to say. After all, the Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect is always right and can only be right. There can be no stain on him. Promising a disciple to cancel the engagement is not what a correct teacher would do. Therefore, the Sect Master cannot give Miss Yanran any substantive answer. He can only let Miss Yanran and us slowly understand. But we have nothing to fear. Just because the Sect Master is not convenient to do something does not mean it is inconvenient for us. As long as we do the things beautifully and put them in front of the Sect Master, even if the Sect Master scolds us for the sake of face, it will be as simple as raising it high and letting it go lightly."
As soon as these words were spoken, Nalan Yanran suddenly turned her head.
The look he gave Ge Ye was full of disbelief.
However, before she could ask or question anything, Lin Chaoci followed up with a follow-up question, snatching away her chance to speak: "So, you believed Yun Leng's words and helped him?"
"Disciple knows his mistake!"
"My disciple is blind!"
Ge Ye regretted his decision.
However, Lin Chaoci waved his hand.
He sighed and said, "Although you know you're wrong, the content of your mistake is wrong. In fact, without knowing my identity, Yun Ling's approach was a bit too petty, but in essence, he did the right thing. He achieved three birds with one stone by canceling the engagement. Whether it was the overall planning and layout or the control of details, it was perfect and impeccable. To put it bluntly, Nalan's breaking off the engagement, on the one hand, cut off Nalan Yanran's escape route, leaving him with a bad reputation for being unkind and unjust, leaving him with no choice but to wholeheartedly join the Yunlan Sect and no longer have the qualifications to jump back and forth. On the other hand, it left the Nalan family with no choice but to stand firmly on the Yunlan Sect's side and cheer for the Yunlan Sect, because Nalan's nephew had become a die-hard member of the Yunlan Sect. Finally, it undermined the prestige of the Jia Ma Royal Family. If the Nalan family took sides, the other major families in the Jia Ma Empire would also take it into consideration, which would help the Yunlan Sect expand its influence and gradually annex the Jia Ma Empire through this influence..."
It must be said that this statement is indeed too explicit.
It can also be said to be too explosive.
Not to mention Ge Ye, the outer sect deacon with little experience.
Even Nalan Yanran, who had heard about the family's current situation, was stunned and couldn't believe what she had just heard.
Except Nalan Yanran.
Many other people also heard these words.
The only one who could remain calm was Xiao Xun'er.
However, if we take into account the people hiding in the dark, this number can be increased a little more, such as Ling Ying, and Yao Lao who has awakened but has not appeared, and Lin Chaoci, the person involved, is not counted.
In short, no one expected Lin Chaoci to give such an explosive answer.
The air in the hall was quiet for a long time.
About twenty to thirty seconds later.
Ge Ye came back to his senses and asked tremblingly: "If it's not the Great Elder's fault, then it's my fault. But I was just following orders. At most, I didn't know people well. But I can't decide whether I know people well or not. I hope Uncle Master can teach me where I went wrong..."
"It's my fault for breaking off the engagement, isn't it?"
After hearing what Ge Ye said.
Nalan Yanran successfully misunderstood.
I thought Lin Chaoci was trying to make a veiled attack on someone.
Therefore, she immediately took over the topic and retorted sarcastically.
Very aggressive.
But Lin Chaoci would not argue with the immature Nalan Yanran.
He waved his hand and said truthfully, "It has nothing to do with whether you cancel the engagement or not. It's just that Ge Ye only has eyes for the Great Elder Yun Leng, and not for Senior Sister Yun Yun. To put it bluntly, even if Senior Sister Yun Yun is not the Sect Master, but just an ordinary elder, according to the rules of the Yunlan Sect, since the Great Elder has assigned him, the deacon, to assist you, then he, the deacon, should visit you and your teacher and explain the matter. What's more, the Sect Master is above the Great Elder. Although a young Sect Master like Xiaodie does not have the power to transfer the Great Elder, the Great Elder does not have the power to transfer her either. Both sides are equal." He's not the only one sitting there, let alone the Sect Master... He dared to take on this task without informing the elder, knowing that Great Elder Yun Leng had ulterior motives. He's either stupid, or he only cares about Yun Leng and not the rules... In other words, breaking off an engagement is no small matter. If you don't handle it well, it could affect your personal reputation, as well as the reputation of the Yunlan Sect. Any adult understands this. You may not understand it because you're still young, but how could a veteran like him, who has been in the outer sect for many years, not understand it... He's simply trying to curry your favor!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the last bit of thought in Ge Ye's heart was shattered on the spot.
His shoulders slumped.
The whole person slumped in the chair.
"Actually, I understand him very well."
“Put yourself in their shoes.”
"At this age, I can see the end of the road at a glance."
"The further you go in, the harder it becomes to practice."
"In this life, I can only hope to become a Douling spirit."
"That is, try to break through before dying and enter the Douling realm."
"Therefore, whether it's for the sake of future generations or for your own future, when you don't dare to take risks and don't have opportunities, there is only one way: to cling to someone powerful."
"I'm out traveling with Xiaodie."
"Senior Sister and Master are not people he can reach."
"A seven-star master."
“There’s really only so much we can do.”
"In reality, for example, if we ask him to attack the Mo family, he won't be able to do it because the Mo family's patriarch, Mo Cheng, is more powerful than him."
"What advantages does he have in the same competition?"
"What a coincidence."
"There's an opportunity right in front of him right now."
Lin Chaoci paused for a moment when he spoke here.
Nalan Yanran continued the conversation thoughtfully.
His tone was full of self-mockery: "Help me break off the engagement?"
"Yes."
Lin Chaoci nodded.
Then, he continued, "This can be seen from the gift that Great Elder Yun Leng prepared for you. Qi Gathering Powder is indeed a precious elixir, and it is considered very good among the fourth-grade ones. But you have to understand that first of all, Yunlan Sect has Gu He, a sixth-grade alchemist, and more than one fourth-grade alchemist. I don't know if there are any fifth-grade alchemists. At least there were no fifth-grade alchemists when I left. There were three fourth-grade alchemists at the time. If you were an ordinary elder's disciple, using a Qi Gathering Powder to break off an engagement would be chilling enough, if I remember correctly. In every outer sect competition, the top five disciples receive a Qi Gathering Powder. Although this prize has more symbolic significance than practical value, and the top five disciples are all fighters and don't need it, for a sect elder, as long as the number of Qi Gathering Powders does not exceed ten at a time, all he needs to do is report it to the Third Elder in charge of the Alchemy Hall. He doesn't even need to file a report or get a note approved. And you, as my senior sister's disciple, who has only accepted two disciples so far, are here to break off the engagement with a fourth-grade Qi Gathering Powder. You won't be afraid of being laughed at if you tell others about it!"
"The gift was too light."
"It's better not to send it."
"So much so that when you publicly announce it, it feels more insulting than sincere. After all, if you're breaking off an engagement, it means you're deciding something that affects your future happiness. Today, you've broken off the engagement with a fourth-grade Qi Gathering Powder. Does that mean that tomorrow, I can use a fourth-grade Qi Gathering Powder or a fifth-grade elixir to buy everything in your future?"
"You might as well repay it with a favor."
"For example, if we negotiate with the Xiao family and unconditionally help them resolve any issue without violating our own position, harming our loved ones, or sacrificing our own future, this would be more sincere and would also save the reputation of the Xiao family, the Nalan family, and the Yunlan Sect, even if this consideration is still inappropriate."
"To put it bluntly... you could have come to the Xiao family privately and visited Clan Leader Xiao Zhan directly, or discussed things directly with Young Master Xiao Yan. There's no need to make such a fuss about it... to the point where you've put yourself in this dilemma. If you move forward, your own reputation, as well as the reputations of the Nalan Family, the Xiao Family, and the Yunlan Sect, will be ruined. If you retreat, Master will be branded as someone who doesn't know how to judge people. By accepting someone like you who turns his back on you after becoming stronger, the Yunlan Sect's reputation will suffer even greater damage. This isn't something you can resolve with just a few words of willfulness, although this also has something to do with us."
"If I weren't a member of the Xiao family."
"If the young master is not a member of the Xiao family."
"As long as you can step on the Xiao family."
"Then this contradiction and backlash will disappear."
"But there are no ifs in reality."
Xiaodie sighed.
He added quietly from the side.
These inside stories were told in the most direct way.
Make sure everyone present understands.
Saves you the trouble of guessing.
It also saves you the trouble of guessing wrong.
This also made Nalan Yanran's face turn pale.
She finally understood why Master Yun Yun wanted to wait a while after hearing the details of the broken engagement, and said she wanted to communicate with her grandfather Nalan Jie.
It turns out that it is because her senior sister and this junior uncle are related to the Xiao family.
Strictly speaking, we are all family.
If she really doesn't want to get married.
Just wait for Lin Chaoci to come back and mediate.
There's no need to make things so awkward.
But she was still extremely anxious.
Then, the current misunderstanding arose.
It’s a pity that there’s no point saying anything now.
The arrow is on the string and must be fired.
What can she do now?
