2151 If Someone is Acting Out of Character, There Must Be Someone Behind Him!

The elderly man looked at Hou Meng.

At his age, the elderly man had experienced almost everything that life had to offer.

After such a long life, the elderly man now prioritized peace and stability.

Although he never left his tent, he often sent his retainer out to gather information.

When the two retainers outside the tent received any information, they would report it to the elderly man instantly.

Thus, the elderly man knew what Hou Mengs aim was for being the first to speak out.

Hou Mengs expression immediately changed to panic when he caught sight of the elderly mans look. However, he quickly composed himself.

Nonetheless, his expression was now more pleasant and humble than it had been before.

The elderly man ignored Hou Meng and stood up from the chair as he said in a calm voice, Each of you will be in charge of a direction. You will set out in that direction and inform any tents you see to pack up. Then, return home and do a headcount of all your family members. Finally, go into military formation along with your family members.

The elderly man gently rapped the table thrice to signal that he was done speaking to them.

All of the heads of families, including Hou Meng and Jin Qianxun, were bewildered by what the elderly man said.

But since the elderly man had knocked on the table thrice, it was clear that he no longer wanted to speak. Thus, none of them dared to ask the elderly man what he meant.

All they could do was treat the elderly mans words as an imperial order that they had to carry out no matter what.

All of the people present had the status and power to take up the position of the head of their families. Thus, none of them were stupid. All of them knew that one word from the elderly man would be enough to strip them of their position.

Many of them, like Hou Meng, were hoping that they would be able to lead their family into the Great Lush Federations imperial court.

But in order to truly secure their seat on the throne, the elderly mans support was a necessity.

It could be said that regardless of the strength of the family, it could legitimately claim the throne as long as it had the elderly mans support.

Even if other families were stronger, they would not dare to utter a peep.

As such, all the families did all they could to try and earn the elderly mans support.

But given their statuses, it would not be easy to make contact with someone of the elderly mans level.

But now that the elderly man had taken the initiative to make contact with them, many of them saw this as their chance.

Regardless of whether they were afraid of the elderly man or wanted to curry favor with him, the leaders of the secret aristocratic families trampled over each other to carry out the elderly mans command despite not being certain of the reason behind it.

Master, all of their intentions are written all over their faces. If Fifth Page Truth was around, none of them would carry such expressions. He would never permit such expressions and ambitions. If the expert who killed Fifth Page Truth is after the Great Lush Federation, theres no way they will let these people go.

The elderly man shook his head gently.

Baochuan, you have been by my side all this time, but youve never truly come across someone willing to give up everything for profit and power. Do you really think none of them have guessed the reason behind Fifth Page Truths death? We are not the only ones who are aware of the happenings in the Divine Wood Federation. So are they.

The person who killed Fifth Page Truth also placed Yi Huailong on the throne. This means that they plan to control the federations. These people are just fighting to try and decide who the leader should be. If the person who killed Fifth Page War doesnt have any strategic plans for the Great Lush Federation, they will recruit the leader who emerged from the fight. The winner of the fight will have proved their power.

The young man was stunned by what the elderly man said. But he found his masters words reasonable and hurriedly nodded and said, Master, they should indeed fight it out. At least they will be able to carve out a future for themselves. My money is on Hou Meng! He is the strongest, and it was clear from just now that he has an authoritative aura even amongst the other heads of the secret aristocratic families. If hes selected and becomes the king of the Great Lush Federation, we will have to socialize with him often in the future.

The longer the elderly man listened, the more he felt that his disciple was much too innocent.

He gently patted the young mans head and said, Baochuan, youre too young! It looks like Ill need to push you to experience more of life apart from just teaching you Creation Master knowledge.

If youre trying to conquer a federation, wont you try to insert your own faction within it? Its clear that that federation ruined many of the Truth a.s.sociations plans when they clashed. This is why Fifth Page Truth went to confront that faction personally. It might be a coincidence if the plan was only damaged once. But a chain of coincidences indicates that one of our own reports information to the other side.

The young looked shocked and ashamed at the same time. He agreed that it was time to familiarize himself with human affairs. Otherwise, hed just appear like a clown before his master.

The young man could not help but sigh, Master, this faction is hiding so well!

The elderly man patted the young mans head with one hand as he rubbed his forehead with the other and said, Baochuan, the faction that is spying for the other side wont be too weak. Look at the stronger secret aristocratic families. Which family head looks the most laid back and is more concerned with protecting his own?

The young man clearly understood the movements and circ.u.mstances of the secret aristocratic families well. After thinking for a moment, he blurted, The Jin family! Is the Jin family the one the other side has taken in?

The elderly man nodded gently.

If someone is acting out of character, someone must be behind him! The current leader of the Jin family is Jin Qianxun. To my knowledge, he isnt such a grounded person.

Once all the secret aristocratic families are in formation, call Jin Qianxun over. Now that he has become a mole, he must have told whoever is controlling him about the contents of the meeting I called. As long as Im kind enough to Jin Qianxun, the person behind him will understand my intentions.

The young man asked with slight confusion, Master, you are a Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master. Theres no need for you to put on such a display!

The elderly man lifted his hand from the young mans shoulder and patted it forcefully.

You are now a pinnacle Cla.s.s 3 Creation Master. I am almost done teaching you all that you need to know. All I want is peace. Are you going to hole up with me forever?
