Chapter 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 Meng's aim was for being the first to speak out.
Hou Meng's expression immediately changed to panic when he caught sight of the elderly man's 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 man's words as an imperial order that they had to carry out no matter what.
The young man was stunned by what the elderly man said. But he found his master's 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 he's 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 man's head and said, "Baochuan, you're too young! It looks like I'll need to push you to experience more of life apart from just teaching you Creation Master knowledge.
"If you're trying to conquer a federation, won't you try to insert your own faction within it? It's clear that that federation ruined many of the Truth Association's 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, he'd 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 man's head with one hand as he rubbed his forehead with the other and said, "Baochuan, the faction that is spying for the other side won't 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 circumstances 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 isn't 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 I'm kind enough to Jin Qianxun, the person behind him will understand my intentions."
The young man asked with slight confusion, "Master, you are a Class 5 Creation Master. There's no need for you to put on such a display!"
The elderly man lifted his hand from the young man's shoulder and patted it forcefully.
"You are now a pinnacle Class 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?"
