Seven Strings in Dreams

Chapter 140 Three-legged Standing

Linlang is the successor trained by Monk himself. No matter how talented others are, it is difficult for them to catch up with Linlang.

Although the fact that Linlang took over as the high priest was not made public, the other guardians knew it.

There was no competition among the eight of them. Some did not like fighting for power, some only wanted to make a breakthrough in their cultivation, some were trapped in love, some were devoted to studying medicine, and some just wanted to do their duty well and had no improper desires.

No matter who Monk finally nominates to succeed the high priest, they will support him without hesitation.

As for Linlang himself, he was very free and easy. If he was destined to take this path, he would not refuse. If someone could take on this important task, he would immediately step down and let someone else take over. If he was allowed to make the decision, he would rather be the one in charge. He only wanted to be a military advisor, not a general.

He did not refuse because he was clear about the duties of the high priest, knew Monk's painstaking efforts, and knew that if he took over, he would be able to continue to protect everything Monk wanted to protect.

If an heir appears who has opposite ideas to Monk's, it will only destroy everything that Monk is trying his best to protect.

Linlang did not pursue the so-called power and status. But he was willing to continue to protect the tribe and the sacrificial lineage for Monk. Because his life originally belonged to Monk. Without Monk, there would be no Linlang today.

However, Linlang had some expectations in his heart these two days, and he set his sights on the two children, Wu Na and Yi Xi.

Linlang didn't mention it to anyone. He was waiting for Monk to come back. He wanted to suggest testing the talents of these two children. He always felt that the talents of these two children were better than his.

He knew that Monk's decision would not change.

But he still wanted to test these two children. If he inherited the position of high priest, he would also need to train the next successor as soon as possible.

Linlang's candidate was Yixi. It wasn't that he didn't like Wu Na, but Wu Na, like Monk's Ali, had entered the temple first and was eligible to participate in the election of the Saint.

If these two siblings can become the masters of the entire Wenyu Tribe at the same time, then the Wenyu Tribe will be completely changed.

They are both kindhearted people, and they care about the world, so they will be supported by the people. The Manta Tribe does not need to be prosperous, as long as they can keep their paradise. They cannot leave Shuangling Island, they do not need to conquer foreign tribes, but they must keep Shuangling Island.

Shuangling Island is far away from the four major countries, but it also needs to deal with them. If Shuangling Island is not strong enough, it would have surrendered to Qinglong or Xuanwu countries long ago. The strength of these two countries is average, and their coastal defense strength needs to be improved.

If a strong enemy attacks, Shuangling Island will not be able to wait for external assistance. Therefore, Shuangling Island must have strong strength to defend the paradise.

The high priest was highly respected on Shuangling Island. The prestige of the saint was also gradually increasing. Together with the dean of Shuitian College, the three of them had the highest reputation on Shuangling Island, and their respective forces gradually showed a three-way balance of power.

Among the three, the dean of Shuitian College is the strongest, Monk has the most supporters, and the Saint has the most power.

The high priest is an indispensable existence on the island. And Shuitian College is famous far and wide. Even people from other countries can study at Shuitian College.

That's why the Saint Maiden worked so hard to expand her power, imitate the training model of Shuitian Academy, and cultivate more talents.

This open and secret struggle will only harm the Manta Tribe. Other tribes will not participate in this struggle at all.

Shuitian Academy will not participate in this kind of fight, so it is just a contest between the high priest and the saint. If they want to live in peace, they can only start with the next generation of saints and high priests.

It was impossible for the Saint to resolve the grievances with the priests now. Monk could not give in either, because once he gave in, there would be no way out.

Linlang's strength was not enough to support the whole situation. He could only hold on for a while, but could not strengthen the sacrificial lineage. That was why he wanted to rely on his successor.

Linlang knew that his idea might not be recognized by Monk, but he still wanted to try.

After all, with his ability, he can only hold on for a while, and it is impossible for him to lead the Manta Tribe to continue to grow, let alone compete with the Holy Temple. By then, the priest lineage may have no place to stand.

Linlang's plan was too deep, and he would surely be rejected by Monk. But he would definitely tell Monk what he was thinking to avoid misunderstandings in the future.

Meng Xianyu is a foreigner and must leave the Wenyu tribe as soon as possible, otherwise Linlang will want to keep her.

Although Meng Xianyu does not know how to practice and has no spiritual power, her intelligence is enough to make up for her shortcomings.

In Linlang's eyes, Meng Xianyu is a rare talent, and she is blessed with great fortune, so she is destined to be an extraordinary person.

Linlang has always been good at judging people, but he still underestimated Meng Xianyu's ability. He thought Meng Xianyu would not be as good as others in cultivation. But in other aspects, he was able to prove his strength and was definitely better than ordinary people.

In fact, this is already a very high expectation for a person, but Linlang still underestimated Meng Xianyu's strength. Meng Xianyu's growth rate is amazing, at least ten times that of ordinary practitioners.

Meng Xianyu is not stupid, she would not be so stupid as to reveal her true colors. So she usually keeps a trick up her sleeve, and she would not reveal her strength until it is absolutely necessary. The strengths she revealed were so surprising that people were speechless. They could only exclaim in their hearts that Meng Xianyu was not a human being, but a pervert.

However, Meng Xianyu's abnormal growth inspired many people to practice hard, including Linlang.

Even though Linlang has no ambition now and only thinks about all kinds of evil ways, he was later stimulated by Meng Xianyu and practiced with all his life!

Although his cultivation speed was not as fast as Meng Xianyu's, and his cultivation level had even changed from crushing Meng Xianyu to being trampled under Meng Xianyu's feet. But compared to others, he still made rapid progress. Speaking of which, he really had to thank Meng Xianyu. But that was all later.

Linlang didn't have any idea about Meng Xianyu for the time being, and his eyes were on Yixi. He secretly sent people to give Yixi a lot of good things, but the little guy didn't accept them. Now Linlang liked Yixi even more. But everything had to wait until Mengke came back.

What Linlang can do now is to help Monk protect the people he wants to protect, especially Wulan and her son.

Wulan has been in a low mood recently and has not paid much attention to Yixi.

Yeshi was still the same in front of Wulan. But the child spoke much less than before. Yeshi would occasionally sit with Wulan, occasionally help Wuna, and exercise. Yeshi was still young, and in the past few days, the little guy became more and more stable.

The little child already knows how to hide his thoughts.

I don't know if the more sensible you are, the more disadvantages you will suffer. Children who are too sensible are easily ignored.

Yixi hid his emotions very well. Anyway, he was not usually a very noisy child.

He just became quieter. Because he knew his predecessor

Although Mu Ren is his cheap uncle in name only.

But the two didn't spend much time together.

Muren was always out at sea, so he spent very little time at home. In addition, Muren deliberately avoided Wulan, so the two of them didn't have much contact.

Muren tried hard to play the role of a qualified Aji, and Yixi always respected him.

At this time, the father and son seemed to be getting along well.

Yixi saw Wu Na coming, but he didn't dare to stop.

Mu Ren had his back to the courtyard gate and did not see Wu Na.

Wu Na didn't have much contact with Mu Ren, and she seldom called Mu Ren "Aji".

Wu Na: "Aji, is Ali awake?"

Only then did Mu Ren realize that Wu Na had arrived.

I don’t know if he was too focused on teaching or was thinking about other things.

Wu Na seldom called him, which made Mu Ren feel a little uncomfortable. Wu Na didn't show it on the surface, but she was actually a little flustered inside.

The man in front of them was the one they had called Aji for a long time. But he was not their biological father. But he had never treated them badly. He even gave them a complete family.

Without him, there would be no family like this. Without him, the two siblings would not have come into this world.

Wu Na didn't know that if it weren't for the three of them, Mu Ren wouldn't have gotten out of the haze so quickly. Maybe he would have already followed his white moonlight.

It is the existence of the three of them, mother and son, that makes Muren feel a sense of belonging.

In Muren's heart, both Wulan, his fake wife, and his adopted children are his relatives, and they are his motivation to live.

Muren: "Now that you are here, I don't know what's going on inside. Go and take a look."

Wu Na: "Ali is alone in the room?"

Things are awkward between Muren and Wulan now.

Although Muren always treated Wulan as his sister, Wulan mistakenly believed that Muren was the father of their two children.

Wulan knew that Muren had been injured in the past, and thought that he had recovered with some secret method.

Who would have known that the child’s father turned out to be her true lover back then.

Wulan also wanted to commit suicide at first, but she couldn't bear to abandon her children. As time went on, Wulan even had the idea of ​​compromising.

Muren's evasion caused Wulan to misunderstand even more.

Even though Wulan was a practitioner, she was just a woman suppressed by traditional ethics. She might not be weak, but many concepts were deeply rooted in her heart.

Once faith collapses, people will be devastated. This is what Wulan is experiencing now.

Muren didn't want to provoke her anymore, so he deliberately kept some distance from her.

Muren: "There was a little girl named Aruan accompanying him."

Wu Na: "Okay, I'll go in and take a look."

Yixi: "Sister"

Wu Na: "Good boy, Yixi, I have something else to do. You can practice martial arts with Aji first. I will come to see you when I am done."

Wu Na felt a little reluctant, as she really had no time to take care of Yixi in the past two days. Seeing the disappointment in Yixi's eyes, Wu Na hesitated for a moment.
