When Chen Lingjun was very young, a senior person had seen him and said that he had the face of an emperor.
Now, looking at the Chen Lingjun in front of him, even Chen Beichuan had an illusion.
It was as if the other party should be the master of this Chen family, while he, himself, was just a turtledove.
This thought was absurd, but it was the most genuine thought Chen Beichuan had at this moment.
“Xiaojun, what happened today, you won’t blame grandpa, right?”
After taking a deep breath, Chen Beichuan looked at Chen Lingjun in front of him and asked.
Hearing Chen Beichuan’s words, Chen Lingjun first gave a pause, and then but a bitter laugh came out.
“Grandpa, what are you talking about? The heirship should have been decided by you! How could I complain about you because of this trivial matter, you are my grandfather!”
Chen Lingjun said with a smile.
His face did not show any displeasure or pretence, but more of a helplessness.
It was as if, Chen Beichuan’s remark was the one that was more ridiculous.
“Moreover, I have already told you before, grandpa, that my ambition is not in the Chen family, but in cultivation! So, to be honest, I don’t care about the position of the Chen Family’s heir!”
Chen Lingjun wore a smile on his face, and both his expression and words gave off a convincing feeling.
Chen Beichuan froze for a moment, then he had no choice but to nod, “That’s good, that’s good.”
After saying that, Chen Beichuan picked up the wine in his cup and drank it down in one go.
It was at this point that Chen Lingjun’s gaze fell on Zhang Zhengkun’s body at the side.
“Pavilion Master Zhang, sorry, I didn’t have the time to greet you just now, please forgive me!”
Chen Lingjun said with an apologetic face.
“No harm.”
Zhang Zhengkun said indifferently, “By the way, I haven’t seen you for a long time, I wonder how my family’s master has been doing?”
Chen Lingjun faintly stared, and then he smiled again.
“Thank you, Pavilion Master Zhang, for remembering me, my master is fine, his cultivation level is now only one step away from the middle stage of Golden Immortality.”
Chen Lingjun said with a smile.
“Mid Golden Immortal? Not bad, it seems that I, a later Heavenly Immortal, will have to catch up to catch up.”
Zhang Zhenkun said half-jokingly.
Heavenly Immortal?!
Hearing these two words, Chen Lingjun’s heart was slightly startled.
When he looked carefully, he could see that the cultivation level of this Pavilion Master Zhang in front of him had not already reached the Heavenly Immortal realm!
Not only that, but because Zhang Zhengkun was cultivating for the second time, his cultivation level was far too solid.
Although he was also at the early stage of Heavenly Immortality, Zhang Zhengkun’s strength was now comparable to that of a Golden Immortal!
No one in the True Martial World knew that Zhang Zhengkun had met with an untimely death when he was trying to reach the Great Luo, and his cultivation had fallen from the peak of the Golden Immortal to a mere God Realm cultivation.
In such a short period of time, Zhang Zhenkun had gone from the God realm to such a level.
This kind of speed was truly incredible!
Even Chen Lingjun’s heart was surprised by Zhang Zhenkun’s speed.
It seemed that his master had been right, this Zhang Zhengkun was truly a dragon among men!
After chatting with Zhang Zhengkun a few more times, Chen Lingjun went to the elders again to toast them.
Seeing Chen Lingjun leave, Su Liang, who was beside Zhang Zhenkun, looked at the other party’s back before a look of displeasure appeared on his face.
While others did not know, Su Liang, a great disciple of the Divine Moon Pavilion, was very clear.
Back then, when his own pavilion leader, Zhang Zhengkun, was on the verge of reaching the Great Luo, everything had gone very smoothly.
However, at the critical moment, there was a divine soul doppelganger who attacked him, which caused Zhang Zhenkun to fail to survive the final heavenly tribulation and almost disintegrated.
As for who was behind the attack on Zhang Zhengkun, there were only a few people in the entire True Martial World who had the strength to do so.
And if Zhang Zhengkun fell and the Divine Moon Pavilion fell, who would be the biggest beneficiary?
The Divine Moon Pavilion was a long-established sect in the entire True Martial World, with the oldest and most complete legacy of arts and techniques.
There is even a legend that the Divine Moon Pavilion has the only emperor-level inheritance in the entire True Martial Realm!
It is a technique that can help a practitioner to transcend into a saint and become a heavenly emperor!
It was enough to make everyone’s eyes water!
If something happened to the Divine Moon Pavilion, the ones who would benefit would be the major sects that were on par with the Divine Moon Pavilion.
Amongst these clans, the most suspicious one was Chen Lingjun’s Xiu Luo Palace!
This was also the reason why Su Liang did not have any good feelings towards this Chen Lingjun.
In Su Liang’s opinion, this Chen Lingjun was no better than his master, Yuan Qianshan!
At this moment, looking at the scene of Chen Lingjun and those elders having a drink and a laugh, Zhang Zhengkun’s brow was also slightly furrowed.
According to the information that Zhang Zhengkun now had, this Chen Lingjun and his master, Yuan Qianshan, the head of the Shura Palace, had been plotting something all along.
It was certain that the Chen family occupied a crucial part in their plot!
The first thing they wanted to grasp was the great power of the Chen Family.
If Chen Lingjun had wanted the elders to force Chen Beichuan to change his choice of successor and fight for the future family head, Zhang Zhengkun would have thought that everything was normal.
But now, Chen Lingjun was acting so light-heartedly, as if he did not care about anything about the Chen family.
This, in turn, gave Zhang Zhengkun an inexplicable feeling of worry in his heart!
Two hours later, the banquet ended and the crowd went back to their respective places.
The entire island was the Chen family, and all the clansmen and sons of the Chen family had their own areas on top of this island.
At this time, it was late at night.
In Chen Lingjun’s manor, Chen Chong Chen Yang, as well as several elders from the Hall of Elders, had all arrived.
“Lingjun, why did you suddenly change your mind today?”
Chen Hongguang said with some confusion.
“Yes, don’t forget, our Elder Hall has the power of veto, at that time, if we had combined our efforts to oppose it, not to say that we would have helped to ascend to the throne, at least making that Chen Nan temporarily unable to be the heir, was completely doable!”
Chen Qingsheng also said with great certainty.
There were twelve elders in the Hall of Elders, and the Hall of Elders had the right to veto on important matters.
However, this would require all twelve elders to vote.
This is the greatest privilege left to the Hall of Elders by the ancestors of the Chen family, but this right has almost never been used in all these years.
This is because the relationship between the Elders’ Halls is also extremely uncertain, and most of the time, it is difficult for them to maintain a unanimous opinion.
This is where this privilege comes in. If all of the twelve Elders feel that this matter cannot be done, then there are only two reasons.
Either the matter had really been wrong to the extent that it was against everyone’s wishes.
Either that, or the entire Chen Family had become so thoroughly rotten that it was beyond redemption!
