I don't want to accept Long Aotian as a disciple today

"Your name is Lu Wanxian?"

"Not bad." Lu Wanxian replied.

"I've never heard of such a person." The hoarse voice sounded in Lu Wanxian's ear, and it seemed to come from all directions, and it was impossible to tell which one was the real source.

He didn't say this out of contempt, but he guessed in his heart that Lu Wanxian shouldn't be an unknown person to have the momentum to confront him directly.Although he has been isolated from the world for thousands of years, his soul can travel to the wilderness. He has never heard of this name among the few old friends he knows.

"Really Dongming's apprentice?" The ancestor of the Sheng family tried to find out the reason why Lu Wanxian was so arrogant from Lu Wanxian's background.

"Exactly." Lu Wanxian said.

"Your master has already ascended, why do you have the courage to provoke me?" Said, the ancestor of the Sheng family exerted some spiritual pressure, wanting to test Lu Wanxian's cultivation.

Lu Wanxian's face turned pale.

The ancestor of the Sheng family withdrew his spiritual pressure and laughed hoarsely, "That's all."

Lu Wanxian suppressed the surge of energy and blood, and said with a smile: "Mr. Sheng's cultivation is indeed extraordinary, he is indeed a master of the fusion period... But if you are curious about my cultivation, just ask me, I am currently It is in the early stage of distraction, just broke through, and the wind system is cultivated, but the sword repair has some body skills. Are you satisfied with this?"

The ancestor of the Sheng family had never seen Lu Wanxian play cards like this before, so he couldn't help but take another look at him: "You said that I protected Sheng Qianqiu, which harmed my merit, so I failed to ascend? I only heard that the strong are respected, The failure of ascension is due to insufficient cultivation and insufficient realm, and the rest are all excuses."

Lu Wanxian said in his heart, I used to have the same thought as you. Since I tried it myself and failed to ascend, I have summed up this precious experience and lessons for you. A lost historical figure.

"The state is also merit." Lu Wanxian explained, "If the ascender does something bad, which will damage the merit, he will be troubled by it when he ascends, and he will not be able to concentrate on dealing with the catastrophe. Naturally, the soul is unstable, and it is very easy to fail. The ancestors should have a deep understanding of this."

No one has ever dared to mention his sore spot in front of the ancestor of the Sheng family again and again. For example, Sheng Qianqiu always picks up the things that the ancestor of the Sheng family likes to hear and is willing to hear, and the ancestor of the Sheng family is also coaxed by Sheng Qianqiu. I have to take good words as a normal thing. At this moment, when I first heard Lu Wanxian's rude words, his first reaction was to slap this ignorant kid on the spot. However, for some reason, no one slapped him flat at the first time. , Then I felt a little taboo again... Especially after hearing this kid say the theory that "if you do something wrong, you will be troubled by it when you ascend", I really felt a little guilty in my heart.

When a cultivator reaches the level of the ancestor of the Sheng family, he has no opponents. Everyone respects and fears him, and walks around him from afar. He is alone and must go his own way.

As for ascension or nirvana, no one really cares about him and will think about him.

This is why, the ancestors of the Sheng family liked Sheng Qianqiu when he was young. At that time, Sheng Qianqiu was still innocent and eager to serve the Sheng family. Young people are always easy to get close to. I just became attached to Sheng Qianqiu and helped him all the way. I always felt like watching my child grow up, so I never doubted Sheng Qianqiu.

The starting point of Lu Wanxian's speech was to let the ancestors of the Sheng family get rid of their original way of thinking and look at this matter from another angle.

The ancestor of the Sheng family was silent.

Sheng Qianqiu was anxious, and said: "Lu Wanxian, what nonsense are you talking about? The crux of the matter now is that you are pouring dirty water on the head of the family. If the head of the family is clean, he will clean up himself. How will it damage the merits of the ancestors? If the ancestors listen Your nonsense is detrimental to merit!"

Lu Wanxian sneered: "It was you who invited the ancestor out of the customs. At the critical moment of his cultivation, you brought him into the secular cause and effect. Isn't it you who have ulterior motives?"

"I, I didn't!" Sheng Qianqiu was choked to death, unable to refute.

And his attitude finally aroused the suspicion of the ancestors of the Sheng family.

The ancestor of the Sheng family turned around, and dozens of double shadows scattered and gathered. In the blink of an eye, he had come in front of Sheng Qianqiu. Sheng Qianqiu was startled. Keep your eyes open, avoiding probing glances.

The ancestor of the Sheng family frowned slightly.

"Didn't you talk about the trial, Lu Wanxian, have you finished? What are you talking about that has nothing to do with the case?" Sheng Qianqiu rebuked with some bluff.

Saying that, Sheng Qianqiu helped the old ancestor to the bed, waved his hand, and put on a new curtain, while transmitting sound into the secret to comfort the other party.

"Old Ancestor, you have to believe me. Everything Qianqiu did was for the Sheng family, and there is no taint in the matter of cause and effect. Now that Lu Wanxian has mined a mine by himself, threatening the sale of our Sheng family's ore, and bought it again. The owner of the Bafang Bank himself has made our family’s business even more difficult, if we don’t completely suppress him, the Sheng family’s foundation may be shaken because of this, and it’s not something that some mortal lives can afford.”

The ancestor of the Sheng family raised his eyes to look at him and asked, "Is this really the case?"

Sheng Qianqiu nodded immediately.

Over there, Gu Li announced: "The two parties have finished their statements, and now we are entering the final trial process. The ancestors of the Sheng family, the six peak masters, and the head of Ou are invited to express their opinions."

Everyone was silent, waiting for the ancestor of the Sheng family to speak.

"Tell me first." A hoarse voice came from inside the curtain, followed by two dry coughs.

Head Ou immediately said: "Then who will speak first?"

The peak masters looked at each other, and the master of Tianxuan Peak said: "Let's talk about it first. I believe that the Patriarch of the Sheng family is irreplaceable. No changes are allowed at this time. Any attempt to pull the Patriarch down will be punished." It is an enemy of our Sheng family, I will not allow it, and will do my best to stop it."

After Tianxuan Peak Master finished expressing his opinion, there was another silence.

Seeing this, Ou Qingzi urged Gu Li to say a few words.

Gu Li said: "I am the head of the Discipline Department. From the perspective of the Discipline Department, the evidence in this case is clear. Sheng Qianqiu drove mortals for his own use, intending to steal other people's spar veins. The only thing that cannot be proved is that Chen Guo destroyed the country." Whether it was Sheng Qianqiu's crime or not. Based on the above situation, I think that his identity as the head of the family should be stripped."

"Well said, you are indeed the head of the discipline department." Sheng Jiuxiao said suddenly.

"Can you bring up things that cannot be convicted?" Peak Lord Tianxuan was annoyed, and Sheng Qianqiu also expressed annoyance and disappointment at Sheng Jiuxiao's sudden change of camp.

"What? You still want to shut up my mouth?" Sheng Jiuxiao sneered contemptuously, then cupped his hands to the ancestor of the Sheng family, and said, "My ancestor, I dare not say anything. There is no trace of falsification. This seat believes that the evidence is convincing, the prince has committed the same crime as the common people, and should be deprived of the position of the head of the Sheng family. As for the fact that no one can take the position of the head of the Sheng family, this seat does not mind temporarily acting as the head of the Sheng family. , until the next Patriarch is chosen."

Everyone was surprised, what Sheng Jiuxiao said was so straightforward, he was obviously against Sheng Qianqiu, but Sheng Jiuxiao's position was there, so he was full of confidence when he said this.

After hearing Sheng Jiuxiao's words, Sheng Yusui felt warm in his heart. Although the relationship between their father and son was not very good, Sheng Jiuxiao understood that he didn't want to be the head of the house. Since his son didn't want to be the head of the house, then I should give it a shot first—— Regardless of whether Sheng Jiuxiao meant it or not, Sheng Yusui accepted the favor.

"Peak Master Tianji, what do you mean?" Ou Qingzi asked.

"Wait." Seeing that the situation was not right, Sheng Qianqiu immediately said, "The master of Tianji Peak is a person who has a competitive relationship with the master of the family. It is not appropriate to take his opinion into consideration at this time, isn't it?"

"This..." Ou Qingzi hesitated.

Sheng Qianqiu said to the ancestor of the Sheng family: "This master of Tianji Peak is the successor I appointed. I was going to train him and train him to the extent that he can succeed, but who knows that he doesn't know good and bad, and colluded with Lu Wanxian In one place, against me, such an identity is not worthy of expressing opinions as a peak master."

Sheng Yusui's face was ashen. In the past, Sheng Qianqiu had maintained a two-point hypocrisy without tearing his face. Now Sheng Qianqiu didn't care about anything, showing his true face, which made Sheng Yusui very uncomfortable.

"Well, next." The ancestor of the Sheng family said.

The people outside only saw Sheng Qianqiu say something secretly in the ears of the ancestor of the Sheng family again, the attitude of the ancestor of the Sheng family suddenly changed, and he was a little shaken by Lu Wanxian's words just now, but now he changed back to Attitude to start.

After that, the remaining peak masters also expressed their attitudes.

"In this way, there are three people who support the deprivation of the position of Patriarch, Sheng Jiuxiao, the master of Tianquan Peak, Gu Li, the master of Kaiyang Peak, and Han Ling, the master of Yaoguang Peak." Ou Qingzi concluded, "There are also three people who do not support it. Peak Master Xuan, Peak Master Yuheng and me."

Wang Wenxu said: "The old man doesn't want to get involved in the Sheng family's affairs."

"Me too." Ou Qingzi said, "Abstaining from voting is considered unsupportive. In this way, it will be a tie. Next, let the ancestors of the Sheng family decide."

"Have you both finished talking?" the ancestor of the Sheng family said, "As this descendant surnamed Lu said, I shouldn't go out of customs and be contaminated with karma in the world, but since I came out, I will definitely be contaminated with karma. I can't ask for more. It’s just less contamination. I think the biggest cause and effect lies in the development of the Sheng family. If the Sheng family collapses because of this, I will have no face even if I ascend to see the ancestors of the Sheng family and the real people. Therefore, the judgment I can give is There's only one choice."

The corner of Sheng Qianqiu's mouth raised, and he looked at Lu Wanxian mockingly.

Lu Wanxian made such a big fuss, but in the end he was defeated by him because of a misjudgment of the situation.

Any conclusive evidence, any means of winning people's hearts, are vulnerable under real power.

Even if Lu Wanxian got the evidence that Sheng Qianqiu slaughtered the entire Chen country today, it could not change the fact that Sheng Qianqiu was the only choice for the head of the Sheng family.

Do you really think Sheng Qianqiu is easy to pinch?Don't even think about it, the reason why he can get to where he is today must have a strong backing behind him.

Sheng Qianqiu raised his chin slightly, with contempt in his eyes, he looked at Lu Wanxian, and soon, after today passed, and sent the ancestor back to Panlongya, he would be able to handle the funeral of Wanhua Mountain by himself, and take Lu Wanxian away. It must be a very pleasant thing to send him to the execution ground in a hurry, let his soul fly away, and never enter reincarnation forever.

"Mr. Sheng, please wait a moment, I have another question." Lu Wanxian said suddenly.

The ancestor of the Sheng family didn't speak, Sheng Qianqiu took the lead and said: "The ancestor is talking, where is the room for you to intervene?"

The ancestor of the Sheng family said: "Let him speak."

Sheng Qianqiu had no choice but to shut up.

"Mr. Sheng's concern is that without Sheng Qianqiu as the patriarch, the Sheng family will go downhill, right?" Lu Wanxian said, "What if I can propose a better candidate?"

"Lu Wanxian, you outsider, don't talk nonsense. Why does the Patriarch of the Sheng family want to listen to your opinion?" Sheng Qianqiu became angry. Today, Lu Wanxian has gone too far. He would easily let the villager go, and he couldn't be freed easily.

"Let him talk." The hoarse voice of the ancestor of the Sheng family sounded again.

"But, old ancestor, this is not in line with etiquette..."

"Why, you don't listen to my words? Let him say a few words, and you don't want to do what he wants. What's the hindrance?" The ancestor of the Sheng family said displeased, "Lu Wanxian, tell me, what do you have? A better candidate?"

Lu Wanxian looked at Sheng Yusui and said, "Sheng Yusui is more suitable than Sheng Qianqiu to be the head of this family."

Sheng Qianqiu burst into laughter immediately, as if Lu Wanxian had said some novel joke, he said to the ancestor of the Sheng family: "Ancestor, you have heard it all, he still wants to help Sheng chalcedony, there is nothing new about it, What is Sheng Yusui's level? He is devoted to practicing his own swordsmanship. He doesn't care about the inside of the Sheng family, and he doesn't understand. The most common thing he tells me is that he doesn't want to be the head of the family, and he doesn't want to take care of things. Could it be that such a person can Have you become a family? Peak Master Tianxuan, Peak Master Tianquan, you two, do you rest assured that you will hand over the Sheng family to him?"

The owner of Tianxuan Peak sneered immediately, but Sheng Jiuxiao was at a loss for words, because he didn't believe that Sheng Yusui would want to be the head of the family, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to express his willingness to act as the head of the family temporarily.

Sheng Qianqiu was very satisfied with the reaction of the two, and he continued: "Old Ancestor, don't be fooled by this Lu Wanxian, he has always been able to play tricks on people, but in fact it is all for his own benefit Serve, have you ever thought about the future of the Sheng family?"

The ancestor of the Sheng family let out a "hmm", as if he was not satisfied with Lu Wanxian's choice.

"In this case, there is no better choice, just follow what I said before—"

"Ancestor please be enlightened, Chalcedony is willing to be the head of the family, and can be the head of the family!"

Sheng Yusui had been tense just now, his heart was at war with heaven and man, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, his mood was extremely complicated, unconsciously, his hands clenched into fists.

A voice told him that he couldn't do it, so don't stand out.

Another voice said that he must stand out. Compared with his own ascension, the rise and fall of the Sheng family is more important.

With a sound of "Plop", Sheng Yusui knelt down and knelt down, holding a sword in his left hand and clasping fists in his right hand, begging for orders with a great gift: "Please give the chalcedony a chance, Chen Mingzhi."

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that Tianji Peak Master, a high-cold elder who especially hates power and dealing with people, would take the initiative to ask to be the Patriarch. This is really the sun coming out from the west.

Sheng Jiuxiao also had a look of disapproval on his face. Obviously, he didn't believe that Sheng Yusui could be the head of the Sheng family, let alone someone else.

Among the crowd present, only Lu Wanxian smiled.

Becoming the head of the family is not an easy choice.

Being the head of the family means having a stronger sense of family honor than ordinary people, and means shouldering greater responsibilities. This choice is especially difficult, and it should never be a position that everyone rushes to.

The reason why so many people covet the position of Patriarch is because what they see is power, interests, control over everything, great power, and superior status.

Just like Sheng Qianqiu, he firmly held onto the position of Patriarch, because this position brought him endless benefits.

And this should be a position full of troubles, responsibilities, and painful choices.

Only those who are aware of its hardships are the ones who should have sat in this position.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Lu Wanxian knew that Sheng Yusui was the one who truly understood what the Patriarch should undertake. It was because of his awareness that he was afraid and avoided.

"Sheng Yusui, don't be joking! This is not a place for you to show off!" Tianxuan Peak Master said angrily, "Lu Wanxian teases you, do you really think you can be the head of the family? Let me ask you, Sheng Family How many things need to be decided every day, what is each elder responsible for? Where is the progress? Do you know? What is the most important thing to be solved immediately? What is the goal for 100 years? What is the goal for 1000 years? In your heart Is there a count?"

The Lord Tianxuan Peak has always been Sheng Qianqiu's most loyal deputy. He knows more about the things Sheng Qianqiu handles than anyone else. Sheng Qianqiu makes big decisions, and he handles things that Sheng Qianqiu is too busy. In Tianxuan Peak Master's heart, Only Sheng Qianqiu can be the Patriarch, if Sheng Qianqiu can't do it, it's his turn to be the master of Tianxuan Peak, not Sheng Yusui.

Sheng chalcedony?Pooh!

A stunned young man who has neither the big picture nor interpersonal relationship will only lead the Sheng family into a ditch.

"Peak Master Tianxuan," Sheng Yusui straightened up, exuding an aura of neither humble nor overbearing, and replied, "Yu Sui doesn't know how many things the Sheng family needs to make decisions every day, and it's not clear what each elder is responsible for. Where did things go?"

The master of Tianxuan Peak snorted and laughed out of his nose, the disdainful energy almost rolled his eyes out.

"However, if Chalcedony is the head of the Patriarch." Sheng Chalcedony thought for a while, and said, "There are three things that I will focus on first: first, the cultivation of disciples, second, the control of key projects, and third, The division of the power of the patriarch."

Sheng Qianqiu sneered and said, "What nonsense, Lu Wanxian taught you, right? You are completely wrong, Junior Brother Tianxuan, tell him where he is wrong."

"The first thing to manage is not those messy things, but the source of income." Peak Master Tianxuan sneered, "Without sources of income, everything is empty. What do you use to train disciples, what do you use to control projects, what do you use? Support your so-called power?"

"And, the division of power? You really don't know what the head of the family should do, and it's not suitable." Sheng Qianqiu laughed, as if he had heard a joke, "It's not as simple as you think. Old ancestor, I think Let’s expose this article, what this child said is just a waste of your precious time, there is no need to continue.”

After being ridiculed by Sheng Qianqiu and Tianxuan Peak Master, the faces of other people present were a little embarrassing. Sheng Yusui's words were indeed too idealistic, and it was difficult to put them into practice, unlike a person who was ready to be the head of the family.

Lu Wanxian said, "Sheng Qianqiu, what are you afraid of, so what if you hear him finish?"

Sheng Qianqiu smiled angrily: "Lu Wanxian, I believe that you didn't teach him this, but you really aren't afraid of his embarrassment? You won't be able to gain a foothold in the Sheng family in the future? - Well, Master Tianji, go ahead , see what flowers you can blow out?"

Sheng Yusui looked at the curtain, and was not influenced by Sheng Qianqiu from the beginning to the end. He said very calmly what he thought was right all along: "The first thing is the cultivation of the disciples. The children of the Sheng family have always had the best cultivation. Environment, use the best instruments and elixir to assist, but in the last promotion ceremony, no one entered the battle of worshiping immortals, why? After Chalcedony hosted the promotion ceremony, the Reflected on it."

"Oh? Didn't a single disciple of the Sheng family enter the top four?" Behind the curtain, the ancestor of the Sheng family asked aloud.

Sheng Qianqiu stopped talking.

"Tell me why." The ancestor of the Sheng family asked Sheng Yusui to continue.

"The biggest reason is that the mind is not righteous. Because they have the best conditions, they are self-righteous, ignoring the Taoist law, and instigating wars in the world. Among the younger generations, there is a son with outstanding strength called Sheng Tianjiao. It is precisely because of misbehavior, A group of Sheng family's children were also deprived of the qualifications to participate in the promotion ceremony."

"Oh? There is such a thing, Qianqiu, you never told me." The voice of the ancestor of the Sheng family was full of displeasure.

"This..." Sheng Qianqiu was speechless.

"Forget it, tell me more about it later." The ancestor of the Sheng family said impatiently, "Let the master of Tianji Peak talk first. Sheng Yusui, how do you train the children of the Sheng family?"

"Yu Sui thinks that it is possible to adopt the method of day study, so that the children of the Sheng family can study between Qifeng and various divisions, departments, and workshops."

"Oh? This is a novelty."

A gust of wind blew through the curtain and rolled it up automatically. The ancestor of the Sheng family showed his figure with interest in his eyes: "Tell me in detail."
