The great elder suddenly realized: "No wonder, you can summon the civet."

"Yes." Qiao Lingnan said, "The civet has lived with me for decades. It relies on me to provide spiritual energy to survive and cultivate, and at the same time it uses its divine power to protect me. This is how I have encountered no matter how dangerous the situation these years. , there is no real reason for death.”

"That's great!" said the Great Elder, "The civet cat is for your use, and Jinshi's talent is high. From now on, the Nanzhi people will have hope."

"No, you misunderstood." Bai Che said, "We don't plan to stay here for too long. Didn't I tell you before? I won't be the patriarch."

"No!" The Great Elder was very excited, "How can you not be the patriarch? Now that the old patriarch is dead, you are the new patriarch. If you don't, who will?"

"You won't forget, right?" Qiao Lingnan interjected, "Che Che was not from your Nanzhi clan, so you say you love him, but you actually want to be like the old patriarch back then. Are you forcing Cheche?"

He didn't wait for the elder to answer, and immediately added another sentence: "However, the current Cheche is no longer the cutie she was back then. If we can defeat the old patriarch, we won't be at the mercy of anyone."

When the Great Elder heard this, he panicked and immediately explained: "No, you have misunderstood me. I just think that, firstly, you are talented, so it would be a pity not to continue to practice. Secondly, this Nanzhi tribe, even Now with the addition of the Northern Wu clan, the entire Wuxian clan is now a mess, without a patriarch to lead, how can we go on? There are powerful enemies around outside, without a patriarch, how can we resist the enemy?"

"Isn't there still you?" Qiao Lingnan said, "You are highly respected and capable. It is very suitable to be the patriarch."

"No, how is it possible?" The elder was shocked, "I am not capable enough to be the patriarch, and I have never thought of being the patriarch. The patriarch should still choose a young man to be the patriarch."

"Then how about I recommend someone?" Bai Che asked.

"Who?"

"Chu waist."

"No!" The Great Elder immediately objected, "How can Chu Yao be the patriarch?"

"Why not Chu Yao?" Bai Che asked back.

"She is the daughter of the old patriarch."

"So what?" Bai Che said, "She is indeed the daughter of the old patriarch, but she doesn't know anything about the old patriarch's schemes, she hasn't hurt anyone, she hasn't done anything wrong to the people I know her very well, and I know that she is also very talented. She is young and meets all the conditions you mentioned. Moreover, she has a marriage contract with Wei Xiao, and she will lead the entire Wuxian clan. , Chu Yao is more suitable than anyone else to be the patriarch."

The Great Elder was speechless by Bai Che's words. He paused for a while before saying, "I'm just not worth it for you. You've practiced so hard for so many years, but in the end you've gotten cheap."

"The problem is that I don't want to be the patriarch, and those hard trainings are not what I want." Bai Che said very solemnly, "Uncle Xie, if you really love me, don't force me to be the patriarch, okay?"

The Great Elder sighed, and finally nodded: "Okay, but there is really no problem with Chu Yao?"

"She has absolutely no problem." Bai Che said, "However, she is still young after all, so there are some things that I hope, Uncle Xie, you can help her take care of."

"That's natural." The Great Elder agreed.

"Will the other elders have any objections? Does the Nanzhi tribe need to go through the vote of the tribe to choose the patriarch?" Bai Che asked again.

"No need, as long as the elder agrees." The elder said, "The elders are all members of the old patriarch, and they will not object to Chu Yao being the patriarch."

"That's good." Bai Che nodded, "Now let's deal with the outside affairs."

The change came suddenly tonight, and people who knew or didn't know beforehand were all panicked.Especially for those who knew about it and then did something later, even though Bai Che said that he would not pursue it before, who can guarantee that he will not go back on his word?

They were too disturbed, and the crowd was disorganized.In comparison, Wei Xiao's people seemed calmer.Wei Xiao was seriously injured and hadn't woken up yet, so they waited in an orderly manner at Wei Xiao's door.He neither panicked nor came to seek revenge from the Nanjie people.

Bai Che and the first elder went to see the other elders first, and these elders were even more anxious than the clansmen outside.Bai Che didn't talk nonsense, and said what he wanted directly.

A few people thought that Bai Che was testing them at first, but they all expressed their absolute support for Bai Che after that.

Bai Che had no choice but to let the Great Elder come out to speak.

The Great Elder was obviously dissatisfied with these people, and he spoke very rudely. He emphasized that Bai Che really had no intention of being the patriarch, and even recommended Chu Yao to be the patriarch.

Several elders looked at each other for a while, seeing that they didn't seem to be joking, they reluctantly agreed.

It was only then that Bai Che asked them about the god sacrifice. In fact, the elders were somewhat innocent. Although the old patriarch planned many things, he didn't reveal too many details to them.For example, the god sacrifice, the old patriarch only said that if it can be successful, it will make the whole Nanjie clan stronger, so of course he has no objection.As for whether Qiao Lingnan's life would be killed, several people hesitated, and they must also think that it is worthwhile to exchange one person for the strength of a clan, right?

Bai Che didn't say much to them, and quickly took his leave and left.

When they came out, they found that it was already dawn, and Ah Mei was waiting at the door, saying that Chu Yao wanted to see them.

Bai Che asked her, "Where's the old patriarch?"

"Already... gone." Amei was also a little panicked, she didn't understand why things turned out like this.

Bai Che hesitated, but still told her about Uncle Yan, and Amei ran away crying.

Bai Che rubbed his head, and went to see Chu Yao with Qiao Lingnan.

Chu Yao was in Wei Xiao's room, his eyes were red and swollen, but his eyes were extremely firm.

Bai Che couldn't bear to see her like this, so he went over and hugged her for a while.

Chu Yao endured and endured, so she didn't cry again. She glanced at Qiao Lingnan's pale face, pushed Bai Che away, and said, "I'm fine."

After a pause, he said again: "I came to you because I wanted to tell you that before going to the altar, I promised Wei Xiao one thing."

"What's the matter?" Bai Che knew that it must be a big deal for her to bring it up at this time.

"Wei Xiao said at that time that he could stop the sacrifice, but he might die, so if he dies, I hope I can help him take care of the North Wu family." Chu Yao said, "I didn't think about the consequences, so I agreed. Now……"

"He went with us." Bai Che glanced at Wei Xiao who was unconscious, and explained their plan.

"Are you really not going to be the patriarch?" Chu Yao looked at them helplessly, "Are you going to leave now?"

"Chu Yao, don't get excited." Bai Che said softly, "It's not that we don't want to help you. It's the patriarch. I can't do it. I'm not a descendant of the Wuxian clan. Moreover, the current situation is just This is a good opportunity for the two clans to merge. In order to become stronger in the future, we all recommend that the clans be merged now. Since Wei Xiao said that, he must have left evidence for you? You are the most suitable candidate for the clan leader now, I know how you feel No, don't worry, we won't leave right away, we will help you sort out this place, and then we will talk about leaving."

Chu Yao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that they would not leave immediately.

"However, people's hearts are not stable right now. You have to cheer up and give everyone a support." Qiao Lingnan was also a little unbearable, but he had to say, "We can help you with many things, but the things in front of everyone must be solved." You do it, do you understand?"

Chu Yao sighed and nodded in agreement.In fact, she always knew that Bai Che didn't like this place. She used to think that he was originally from this place, so even if he didn't like it, he had to stay here.But now, he is not a descendant of the Wuxian clan. He has been imprisoned here for 20 years. It would be good if he didn't take the opportunity to retaliate now. How can he be expected to stay?

"Then let's discuss the matter of the clan first." Chu Yao exhaled and said, "Wei Xiao left me a recording and his patriarch's token. With these two things, the Northern Wu clan should not have What opinion."

"Wei Xiao is very thoughtful in doing things." Qiao Lingnan sighed, he had never liked this man, but now seeing him lying unconscious on the bed, he was somewhat moved.

Wei Xiao decided to save him at the last moment, probably because of Bai Che, it seems that he is sincere to Bai Che.

"Also, what happened last night also needs to be explained to the tribe." Bai Che didn't think too much, he was still worrying about the Wuxian tribe, "I think that people who saw this incident don't know what to do." No, I can’t hide it from everyone for too long, so why not tell everyone the truth directly. Of course, there are some things in it, so I don’t need to go into details.”

Chu Yao knew what he meant, "something" refers to the evil deeds done by the old patriarch, saying that it will affect everyone's impression of Chu Yao, and I am worried that it will be imitated, so it is best not to elaborate.

It's all for others to say these words, Bai Che is the victim, he really thought about Chu Yao a lot when he said that.

Chu Yao was very grateful and accepted his kindness. The two worked out some operational details, including how to manage the entire Wuxian clan in the future.

Qiao Lingnan didn't say much, but he could tell that Chu Yao was indeed more suitable to be the patriarch than Bai Che.No matter how bad the old patriarch is, he has also managed the Nanjie clan for decades, and many small daily details are easily understood by Chu Yao.On the contrary, Bai Che is not good at communicating with people, and he really doesn't understand many things.If he really became the patriarch, he might be easily deceived.

After they finished discussing, Qiao Lingnan made a suggestion: "You can use those elders first, they have prestige after all. Moreover, they still have fear in their hearts, so they will support you very much. However, using them is not In the long run, if these people can unite with the old patriarch, their intentions will be wrong. After you become the patriarch, you must immediately start cultivating people you can use, and you must have your own confidantes."

Chu Yao wrote down his words one by one.

After some discussion, they decided to go and talk to the Northern Witch about Wei Xiao's decision.After seeing Wei Xiao's token and listening to the recording, the members of the Northern Wu tribe expressed their willingness to accept Chu Yao as the new patriarch.Naturally, they are also willing to accept the suggestion of joining the clan proposed by the new patriarch.

They even sent two people to help Chu Yao, one is very powerful in spells, and the other is good at handling daily affairs.

Chu Yao was very grateful, took the man with him, and went to meet with the people of the Nanjie tribe.

Those who were more sincere towards the old patriarch before and intended to oppose Bai Che were identified by several elders and locked up in advance.Most of the rest were unsteady, and there were a few elders in charge. Although the people of the Nanjie tribe were a little chaotic, nothing happened.

Bai Che said: "I am the patriarch appointed by the old patriarch, but I don't think I am suitable to be the patriarch. Now I designate Chu Yao as the new patriarch. Although the Zangshu Pavilion was destroyed, I have read most of the spell secrets in it. , I will rearrange it, don’t worry everyone.”

All the people knew that he had a civet in his hand, and now he said that he had read all the books in Zangshuge, so naturally no one dared to object to his opinion.

Things went very smoothly. The so-called family integration is actually a matter of one sentence. Because everyone's habits are not the same, they still live separately.There are still many trivial matters involved in the later, which will be dealt with slowly in the future. Now there is no objection, and this matter is basically done.

In order to celebrate, Chu Yao ordered the National People's Congress to hold a banquet.

In the lively atmosphere, few people remembered the death of the old patriarch.The once ambitious old patriarch died in less than half a day, and has been forgotten by others.

After Chu Yao finished dealing with everything, it was already midnight, and Chu Yao went to the mourning hall of the old patriarch wearily.She set up the mourning hall, but she didn't tell anyone. She came to watch for a while when she was done with work.

There shouldn't be anyone in the mourning hall, but as soon as Chu Yao entered the door, he saw a black shadow.Chu Yao was taken aback, but she was physically and mentally exhausted now, and her reaction was a bit slow. Before she could shout out, she was knocked out by the black shadow's palm.

At the same time, the half-closed window of Bai Che's room suddenly opened automatically without making any sound.A black figure flashed in from the window, he saw the two human-shaped quilts protruding from the bed, and quietly leaned over.He slapped it out and suddenly felt that something was wrong, pulled back the quilt and saw that there were only two pillows on the bed, where was anyone?
