Seven Strings in Dreams

Chapter 139 Two Brothers and Sisters

Linlang: "I heard that Ali fainted because he refused to eat or drink. Zhuji went to see him, and he might have woken up now. Go and tell them the news."

Wulan was exhausted these days and in a very bad state. At first, she sat at the entrance of the villa, and then she fainted at some point.

Muren wanted to talk to her, but found that she had already fainted. Perhaps she was exhausted and couldn't hold on. Muren asked someone to carry Wulan back.

Maybe fainting was a good thing for Wu Lan. If she hadn't fainted, she would have been more excited than Wu Na at this moment. The scene might have been even more chaotic.

Zhuji prescribed medicine for Wulan, and specially added a sedative, but she didn't know whether Wulan was awake or not at the moment.

Zhuji and Linlang both knew that their boss Mengke had a crush on Wulan. They were not like the others who didn't understand. They only knew that who Mengke liked was his freedom.

In most people's eyes, Wulan is a married woman, and her husband is Munch's former best friend. Munch is just a sacred and inviolable high priest. With Wulan's status, she is not even worthy of carrying Munch's shoes.

The rumors were hurtful and heartbreaking. Some people said that Muren was in love with one person and Wulan was two-timing. Some people said that it was Monk who was self-indulgent and wishful thinking from the beginning to the end. Some people said that Muren was a beast in human form and his beastly nature was unleashed, which caused Monk and Wulan, a pair of lovers, to be unable to get married and have to live apart.

At that time, rumors were spreading in the village, and for a time, many people were talking about the emotional relationship between the three of them in private.

Later, Mengke became the high priest, Wulan gave birth to Wuna, and Muren became the village chief, and those people became more restrained.

They did not dare to talk about Monk, the high priest, nor did they dare to offend the village head Muren, but they were not polite to Ulan.

Although Monk was far away from the small fishing village, he still knew something about what the small fishing village had said.

Over the years, Monk seemed to be indifferent to Wulan, but he only had Wulan in his heart, no other woman. But he didn't want to disturb Wulan's life, and he couldn't face them.

But Linlang and the others saw Monk's forbearance. Some people felt sorry for Monk and even wanted to teach Wulan and the others a lesson. However, they were secretly stopped by Linlang.

Linlang was young, but he was very smart. When he was still young, he could already help Monk with his plans. Even Monk's subordinates would sometimes listen to Linlang's orders.

Linlang would split a task into several parts and assign different people to carry it out, so that in the end the participants would not know what they were doing. This way, no one would leak the secret, and even if someone told Monk, Monk would not be able to figure out the trick.

Anyway, Linlang had no bad intentions, and everything he did had his reasons. In addition, Monk intended to train him to be his successor, so he doted on him even more.

Linlang was not arrogant because of his favor. He cherished the hard-earned happiness. He was a person with flesh and blood and weaknesses. His brother Congheng was one of his weaknesses. It was because he was flesh and blood, knew how to be grateful, and had wisdom that Monk would feel at ease to hand things over to him.

Monk's decision was not wrong. At least among the eight of them, Linlang was the most suitable person to take over the position of high priest. Of course, if a more suitable candidate appeared, Monk would also consider it.

Even if that day really came, Linlang would not object. After all, being a high priest seemed to be glorious, but the responsibility was too heavy, and Linlang did not like it. When he really became a high priest, he would not be able to do whatever he wanted like now.

So far, there has not been a more suitable successor than Linlang.

If anyone was qualified to inherit the high priest position, those who were vying for power would have come to grab it long ago.

Unfortunately, even if they had the ability to kill Monk and seize Monk's position as the high priest, they could not get the approval of the altar. Without the approval of the altar, everything would be in vain.

In the end, whoever kills Monk and inherits the position of high priest will still not be under their control. Everything will return to the starting point, only with a different person.

Perhaps among those who attempt to compete for the position of high priest, there will be one or two who are slightly talented. But they do not know how to open the altar, let alone how to use it, and cannot obtain the true inheritance of the temple. Without inheritance, there will be no recognition, and in the end, the high priest will still come from the lineage of sacrifice.

I think the person who is qualified to take over the position of high priest will not be a coward and will not be easily controlled. Even if he is checked at the beginning, he will take back his power sooner or later. Those people's wishful thinking will not work.

As for the internal sacrificial lineage, there was no such situation of fighting for power. All the descendants of the high priests, guardians, and elders had been tested since childhood, and they already knew what their blood talents were.

If there was someone among them who was stronger than Monk and Linlang, there would be no need for them to fight for it. The next successor would automatically be changed.

Unfortunately, there has been no one with extraordinary bloodline talent in the past decade or so. At most, there are a few people with talents similar to Linlang. But they are far inferior to Linlang in other aspects.

Linlang lacks talent, but has strong abilities. Some things do not necessarily require the high priest to do it himself, and being able to bring out the abilities of others around you is also a skill. And Linlang is such a brave, resourceful and thoughtful person.

Zhuji had mentioned Wulan's fainting to Linlang, but Linlang hadn't found the time to check on her yet. However, according to what Zhuji said, Wulan should be awake by now.

Wu Na: "Okay, I'll go right away."

Wu Na knew that Linlang and the others were anxious, and it would be troublesome to take her with them.

The two people she cared about the most hadn't come back yet. She was a little panicked for a moment, fearing that something had happened to them. She just wanted to see them safe and sound as soon as possible. She hadn't considered it carefully enough.

Wu Na originally wanted to ask those people who had returned to find out about their situation these days, and also ask about the high priest and Meng Xianyu.

Now, after hearing Linlang's words, she decided to tell Ali and the others the news first.

At this time, don't add more burden to everyone. Moreover, Wu Na didn't know who to ask.

Among those people, Shanhu and Amber are girls, so it should be more convenient. If Wu Na were to choose, she would ask Shanhu.

But Shanhu probably didn't have the mood to care about her now. Shanhu's injuries were nothing. But Shanhu's heart should have already flown to Elder Jiayu.

Just as the person Wu Na was thinking about had not returned yet, her heart was still hanging.

Wu Na decided to go to Ali first to tell them about the situation, and then go to Elder Jiayu to see if he needed help. If the guardian Shanhu happened to be there, she would chat with him for a while. If he had already gone to rest, she would not disturb him.

Wu Na went to Wulan's temporary residence, and Muren was supervising Yixi's horse stance.

Yixi happened to be feeling better these two days, so Muren and Ulan said something and took Yixi out for exercise.

Muren would take Yixi to exercise for an hour every day.

Yixi is still young and has always been weak. If he practices for too long at once, he will not be able to bear it. One hour is enough.

Although Yixi was young, he was extremely sensitive. He knew something was going on. He knew that everyone around him was in a bad mood.

Yixi did not ask about other people's affairs. He just obeyed them every day. He did whatever people around him asked him to do. He did not bother Ali or his sister.

I feel sorry for Yeshi because he is so sensible. Children of this age should not have any pressure. I don't know why Yeshi is so cautious.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like that.

After all, Yixi and Wuna grew up in different environments, and Yixi should have been spoiled. But his cautiousness was very similar to Wuna's.

Maybe it's really hereditary. Both siblings don't like to cause trouble to others. They are independent, shy and inferior. But Wu Na is more like Munch, cold and aloof, difficult to approach. Yixi is more like Wulan, a little more approachable.

Although Wulan has a bad temper now, she was a gentle and quiet woman when she was young. It's just that she has experienced too much, which has changed her temperament. But it's hard to change one's nature. She is still the delicate, strong and brave woman.

The old saying goes that you can tell a person's future by looking at him when he is three years old. This may be true. Yeshi has the shadow of both Wulan and Monk, but Yeshi is more like Wulan.

If the position of high priest is hereditary like the imperial court, then Wu Na may be the best candidate for the next high priest. At least now it seems that Wu Na is more suitable for the two siblings.

Fortunately, the high priest's inheritance is chosen by the altar, and the time will come to see if he will be chosen by the altar.

Linlang has the ability in this area, but she is far behind Monk. His talent is not as good as Monk, but if there is no better successor, then Linlang is the best choice.

In recent years, Monk has been looking for talented children, but there are no particularly outstanding candidates among the descendants of high priests and guardian elders.

Some people don't even have any talent at all.

Those children were baptized at the altar shortly after they were born. If they had the talent to become high priests, they would have been secretly trained long ago.

Only innate talent and ability, combined with acquired training, can produce an excellent successor.

Linlang's talent can only be considered above average, but he is extremely intelligent, quick to understand, and good at using people. Even if he is lacking in cultivation, he is still the best candidate to take over as the high priest.

Of course, besides Linlang, there are other people who can inherit the position of high priest.

But in terms of order, Linlang is ranked first.
