Chapter 2960: I Believe in Your Character

"Second Elder, save me, save me, your subordinates have rebelled, they've all rebelled."

A howl came from outside the gate, filled with intense urgency and panic; as soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the courtyard instantly became even more awkward.

Those few elders under his command were all casting doubtful glances.

Even the Second Elder, facing such gazes, couldn't help but blush, and he said sheepishly.

"I……………… I don't know him."

In response, the leader twitched the corner of his mouth and said.

"The Yun Yu Elder of the Third Elder's lineage, you don't know him, Second Elder?"

"I………………… I'm not acquainted with him."

The Second Elder was dumbfounded; he was speaking the truth, he really didn't know this person—this guy looks suspicious, how could he have any contact with him?

But these words now are obviously impossible to make people believe.

"If you're not acquainted, would they come to your door without regard for danger?"

"I……………… I don't know."

The Second Elder truly doesn't know; you're out of your mind—now our faction wants to arrest you, why come to my house? Are you walking into a net? Seeking death?

The Second Elder was truly at a loss; seeing this, several people also couldn't be bothered to waste words, their gazes turning again to the Soul Map—there are still many people to capture now, we must arrange it quickly.

As for that idiot at the door, the leader, without even looking up, said.

"Since they came looking for you, please have the Second Elder seize this person, so we can rest easy."

There's always a feeling that the juniors are risking their lives up front while the elder brother hiding in the back is secretly colluding with the enemy—it's truly infuriating.

So, right now several people urgently need an attitude from the Second Elder; otherwise, people's hearts won't be at ease.

Seeing this, the Second Elder opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing, merely stepping toward the courtyard gate.

Naturally I know what they mean, but I truly haven't colluded with the enemy—I'm not an idiot with my head stuck in my belt.

Don't forget I'm the leader—if this fails, who do you say the Grand Elder and Third Elder will kill first? Would I betray myself?

But there's no choice; to stabilize morale, the Second Elder had to personally take action.

However, speaking of Yun Yu outside the door, he had been frantically pounding on the Dong Fu's main gate.

He also had no choice but to come here; previously he was lucky not to be in the Dong Fu, thus avoiding a calamity.

On his way back, he heard that the Second Elder's faction had rebelled against heaven, and taking advantage of the Grand Elder and Third Elder leading people out, he directly seized control of the entire Shenjie.

The people of both factions were all arrested and thrown into the great prison.

Upon hearing this news, Yun Yu was dumbfounded—he is a member of the Third Elder's faction.

Although he is a marginal figure in the Third Elder's faction, especially after Bai Yu lost power, no one pays him any attention; even though he still holds the title of Elder, he's hardly different from a joke.

He was naturally timid; faced with this, Yun Yu's first reaction was to run—what a joke, you big shots fighting for power and profit, don't drag me into it.

But when he tried to leave Shenjie and looked at the exit, he found it already tightly controlled by the Second Elder's people—not even a fly could escape.

After thinking left and right, a sudden spark of inspiration led him to come to the Second Elder's place.

Based on Yun Yu's intelligence, he felt this matter shouldn't have been done by the Second Elder.

After all, with the Second Elder's character, he couldn't have done this.

It's likely his subordinates were oppressed too severely, so they acted secretly, and the Second Elder was forced into it.

Thinking this, Yun Yu suddenly felt that perhaps only the Second Elder could save him in the entire Shenjie.

After all, the Second Elder has always been known for his leniency and virtue, kind-hearted and gentle in his dealings.

In the past, when seeing him, among the three great elders only the Second Elder would smile and nod at me.

Even the Third Elder would simply ignore him.

Moreover, he himself is a marginal figure in the Third Elder's faction; the Second Elder has no reason to make things difficult for him—if he's in a good mood, he might just let him go.

After thinking it over, the more he thought, the more feasible it seemed; so Yun Yu came.

He bet that the Second Elder is a good person.

As the Dong Fu's main gate opened, sure enough, the Second Elder stood before him; seeing this, Yun Yu fell to his knees with a thud.

Without saying a word, he immediately offered a great salute, leaving the Second Elder stunned.

"What are you doing…………………"

"Second Elder, save me!"

And Yun Yu paid no heed to these; this was his signature move—he shouted loudly and then threw himself into a deep bow, the whole motion done in one fluid motion.

Seeing this, the Second Elder's mind was already a bit confused; he looked at Yun Yu with suspicion and asked doubtfully.

"You have some business?"

"Second Elder, your subordinates have rebelled; although I am of the Third Elder's faction, you know my situation, and now only you can save me—please, Second Elder, save my life and do justice for me."

Yun Yu's situation, the Second Elder naturally understood—a fool who rose to power relying on his brother-in-law.

Now his brother-in-law's family has also lost power, so Yun Yu naturally collapsed as well.

In the clan they've become a laughingstock, but these have nothing to do with him, and the Second Elder never cared about such matters.

However, upon hearing Yun Yu's words, the Second Elder still felt a bit strange.

"You don't know it's my faction's people who are moving?"

From the start to now, the Second Elder's faction has never deliberately concealed their identity.

As long as Yun Yu catches a hint of wind, he can tell that all this is the work of their faction.

And as for the Second Elder himself, simply put, he is the head of this faction.

My subordinates moved to capture you, but failed to catch you, letting you escape—with such luck, you damn well shouldn't have run far; instead you came running straight into my Dong Fu.

You're not like a calf being chased by a tiger, turning its head to willingly walk into the tiger's mouth, are you?

So, upon hearing Yun Yu's words, the Second Elder truly felt his scalp go numb.

However, Yun Yu's answer shocked Èr Zhǎnglǎo even more, leaving him completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.

All that could be heard was Yun Yu speaking with unwavering firmness.

"I know, but I believe Èr Zhǎnglǎo's character; it must have been his subordinates acting on their own, and this matter certainly has nothing to do with Èr Zhǎnglǎo."

Huh???

Upon hearing this, together with Yun Yu's steadfast gaze, there was even a moment when Èr Zhǎnglǎo himself felt wronged, as if his subordinates had acted on their own.

But the problem is, he alone worked out this whole plan—damn it, I'm not the one who's wronged!

He gave Yun Yu a deep look; at this moment, Èr Zhǎnglǎo seemed to understand why the Third Elder so completely disregarded this guy.

He wasn't even brought along on this operation; logically, as one of the Elders of the Third Elder's lineage, he should definitely have participated—he is core combat strength.

But unfortunately, the Third Elder left him behind, and without even a notice, treating him as if he didn't exist at all.

Looking at it now, Lao San still has some foresight.

This guy's brain is somewhat different from ordinary people's.
