Qu Zhou was the one who came back before Lu Jinzhi. He lost many people in his line of business. Fifteen people went out and only six returned.After Qu Zhou was severely reprimanded by Fei Lin, he went to the ancestral hall to kneel as soon as he returned to the Shangqing Gate.

Fei Lin was a cold-faced and soft-hearted person, so he couldn't help but sneak a look at Qu Zhou on the second night. He didn't know what happened that night, but when he came out, Fei Lin, who was always well-dressed and dignified, was slightly disheveled. After leaving the ancestral hall, the expression on his face was a little panicked.

On the second day, Fei Lin announced in public that he would disqualify Qu Zhou from running for the candidate.

When Fei Lin announced this sentence, Xiao Qing was sitting beside him, with his hair propped in a daze. Hearing this, he lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at him, recalling it in his mind, knowing that Qu Fei's line might be coming to an end soon.

The merits of the new disciples of the Shangqing Sect are ranked, and Qu Zhou is Lu Jinzhi’s most competitive opponent. In the later stage of the plot of the Southern Border Kingdom, Qu Zhou helped Lu Jinzhi dispense medicine, and his merits and prestige also rose slowly. , They also have a lot of friction, and the two sides refuse to give in to each other.

Now that Qu Zhou is directly abandoned, Lu Jinzhi is the unyielding leader.

Fei Lin's temperament is very different from Xiao's. This person is extremely observant of etiquette, following the eight hundred rules of the Qing Dynasty as his life, every action and every word is extremely rigid, and he is very harsh on himself.

Xiao Qing tilted his head and saw the sadness in his downcast eyes, and laughed in his heart: it has always been the same for an infatuated person to meet a desperate lover.

But the system came up with a sentence: [Why not the host. 】

Xiao Qing was taken aback by it, and wanted to refute, but it seemed that he had no position to refute.

The mechanical and lively girlish voice reminded: [Host, the fourth volume is coming to an end, but you still have 80.00% of the tasks in the fourth volume to be completed. 】

Xiao Qing pointed his moist thin lips, and said coolly, "I'll wait for another chance."

A few days later, the news of Fu Mingqiu's death spread throughout the Shangyuan Continent. The difference from the original text is that this time even the corpse capital was not seen. Only the sword that Fu Mingqiu never left was brought back to the Shangqing Gate. , After being coffined, it was put into the Clothes Tomb.

There were different opinions for a while, and everyone pointed the suspicion at Xiao Qing.

After all, the date of the appointment of the head of the Shangqing Sect is about to come. If such a thing is reported, the incarnations of justice will always choose the person with the most black history to pour out their anger.

Everyone is saying: "Master Fu is such a kind person, and he is so kind to Xiao Qing. I really didn't expect Xiao Qing to be so cruel to his senior brother for the sake of being the head of the sect."

When Xiao Qing heard these voices, he just smiled, he was too lazy to explain to the outside world, he just lazily nestled in Chenghuan Palace, cooking tea and wine, listening to the rain and admiring the flowers.

Anyway, no matter how angry those people outside were, they would have nothing to do with him.

Moreover, he always felt that Fu Mingqiu would not die so easily.

The Grand Marquis Ceremony came as scheduled, and until this day, Lu Jinzhi never came back. Xiao Qing put on a complicated and luxurious robe, walked slowly along the path with few maple leaves, and took the most conspicuous position on the high platform.

A ten-meter-high heaven-reaching spiritual stone was placed in the martial arts square. The master of ceremonies first gave some necessary opening remarks, and then began to use the merit book to sort out the major things the disciples registered on it these days. Degrees are converted into reputation points.

The names on the psychic stone increased one by one, sorted according to the reputation value, the most at the top, I don't know if it was intentional or not, the master of ceremonies only read the deeds of Lu Jinzhi's travels at the end, and kept talking about it for a long time.

The number after Lu Jinzhi's name on the psychic stone began to change, from the last soaring all the way to No.1!

The corners of Xiao Qing's mouth twitched into a smile, but it was about to fall again.

The master of ceremonies said loudly: "Where is Lu Jinzhi, the disciple of Chengyuan Palace?"

There was silence in the square, you look at me, I look at you, until the master of ceremonies shouted a third time, no one stood up.

The master of ceremonies had a somewhat unpleasant expression on his face. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Xiao Qing: "Master Xiao, do you want to continue or wait?"

Xiao Qing raised his chin and said coldly, "Continue."

The master of ceremonies turned around and was about to proceed to the next step, when a clear male voice came from behind the crowd, and then the handsome man in black stepped into the void and landed on the open space in front of the crowd, he cupped his hands, modest and polite, neither humble nor overbearing: "Sorry, The disciple was delayed by something on the way."

The master of ceremonies looked back at Xiao Qing, and saw that the other party had no expression on his face, so he turned his head and said to Lu Jinzhi: "Just come, just get the credit card and go over there."

Lu Jinzhi nodded, and forced a smile when he looked up at Xiao Qing, but Xiao Qing looked away indifferently.

Lu Jinzhi was slightly stunned, took the sign and stood on the other side, but his gaze still followed Xiao Qing, fierce and forbearing.

Zhou Wei turned his head and saw the look in Lu Jinzhi's eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he walked over and said, "Why is Senior Brother Lu late today?"

The master of ceremonies continued the unfinished process, Lu Jinzhi looked away, and said: "Something happened to the Lu family, so it was delayed."

Zhou Wei was keenly aware of the black dust on his face that hadn't been wiped clean, and frowned, but didn't ask much, and stood quietly aside, seemingly unintentionally said: "A few days ago, people from various sects sent people one after another I came to Shangqingmen and said that I wanted to seek justice, and then I came back with Brother Qu and the others and explained the matter of the Southern Border Kingdom, but those people still refused to let go, and they didn't know what they were going to do."

There was no expression on Lu Jinzhi's face, and Zhou Wei continued after seeing this: "It seems to be targeting you from the rumors."

Lu Jinzhi finally glanced sideways at him, and said unhurriedly: "Uncle Master will protect me."

Zhou Wei was choked up, the master of ceremonies over there finished a process and started the next elders voting, the candidate side began to get restless, amidst the noise, Zhou Wei said softly: "How do you know that he will definitely protect you? "

"Senior Brother Lu, do you like Master?"

Lu Jinzhi still didn't respond, Zhou Wei blushed, and suddenly lost his temper and said: "Master and apprentice love each other, it's against the norms. A few days ago, Master Fei Lin disqualified Brother Qu from the election. Everyone understood why, even Uncle Fei Lin almost kicked him out of the school."

Hearing the words "expelled from the school", Lu Jinzhi gritted his teeth, and clenched his fingers under the sleeves into fists.

Zhou Weidao: "Such a disgraceful thing happened in the door, and it's still at such a critical moment. It's the time when the wind is jittery. Brother Lu, don't delay your future because of this kind of thing."

Lu Jinzhi still said: "Uncle Master will protect me."

Although Lu Jinzhi is full of wings, he is not something people can control at will, but in this matter, he persisted and said: Uncle Master will protect me.

The election ceremony will take three days in total. On the first day, the successors of each palace and hall will be selected. Shangqingmen, go to the grand meeting together.

When the first day of the grand ceremony was about to end, the sky was already dim, and the procedure finally reached the stage of announcing the successor. The disciples who were present at the moment were hanging their heads, all straightened their heads, hoping that the master of ceremonies would read their own or their friends' names .

Although many people know that is impossible.

The master of ceremonies played up a wave of atmosphere before announcing the successor of the Sixth Palace with satisfaction.

Lu Jinzhi leaned under the maple tree, looked over his dark head, and looked up at the high platform. Xiao Qing had already fallen asleep with his head propped up. He smiled slightly, and the maple leaves fell, covering the tenderness that passed by that moment.

The people at the guest table on the other side were all serious, with gloomy eyes and sword hilts in their hands. A disciple from another sect hurried over and whispered in one's ear for a moment. A must-have smile.

At this moment, Xiao Qing opened his eyes, no sleepiness in his eyes, and he had a panoramic view of the small movements at the guest table.

The master of ceremonies cleared his hoarse voice and said, "The next step is to announce Sangong's successor, and invite Sangong's candidates to come out."

There were nearly ten people from each palace, and Lu Jinzhi handed the merit and demerit cards to the master of ceremonies. The master of ceremonies nodded, and Lu Jinzhi stood in the team of Chengyuan Palace.

Everyone in Chengyuan Palace didn't have a good impression of this junior brother, and rejected him in various ways, but there were also people who knew the current affairs, and they approached Lu Jinzhi to talk, but these people were still young, and their emotions were written on their faces.

Lu Jinzhi naturally didn't pay much attention to it.

The master of ceremonies said on the stage: "The final successors of the three palaces are Changsheng of Chengqian Palace, Qiyu of Chenghuan Palace, and Lu Jinzhi of Chengyuan Palace!"

The faces of the people in Chengyuan Palace were gloomy. Compared with the sighs of Chengqian Palace and the joy of Chenghuan Palace, this area was very depressing.

On the other side of Chenghuan Palace, Qiyu jumped up and said in disbelief: "What? Is it me? Why not senior brother?"

Zhu Rong smiled happier than her: "The elders have seen your progress over the years, and it is expected that you will be chosen."

Qiyu was a little embarrassed, the goose-yellow clothes looked cute and cute under the orange-red evening light, she looked up at Xiao Qing's direction, Xiao Qing also looked over, and nodded slightly at her.

Unable to live up to this, Qiyu's eyes turned red, and he knelt on the ground and bowed to Xiao Qing.

And in the Chengyuan Palace over there, all the senior brothers congratulated Lu Jinzhi in a grotesque manner. Lu Jinzhi coped with it expressionlessly. Chengyuan Palace or Chenghuan Palace?"

Before Lu Jinzhi could answer, a senior brother sarcastically said, "Why, Chengyuan Palace can't keep this great god?"

Lu Jinzhi said to Zhou Wei: "Chenghuan Palace."

Seeing that Lu Jinzhi didn't care about him at all, the man was dizzy with anger, and wanted to rush up to fight with Lu Jinzhi, but the young disciples around him stopped him in time, and Lu Jinzhi turned around at this time and said gently and politely: "Presumably Brother Zhang didn't Save the room for me, and I won't bother senior brother to clean it up."

Zhang Xun said coldly: "If you have the guts, don't go back to Chengyuan Palace forever, and let the master in the spirit of heaven see you as an unworthy disciple!"

Lu Jinzhi said indifferently: "If the master is in the spirit of heaven, I'm afraid he will be pissed off by the senior brother first."

"you!"

Zhou Wei smiled inappropriately, and then coughed subtly: "Brother Zhu just asked you to go to Master."

Lu Jinzhi nodded, turned around and left behind a group of purple-faced people.

Xiao Qing looked lazily, and listened to the people at the guest seat with eyes downcast for a long time. When Fei Lin was hesitating, he chuckled softly, stood up and walked down the high platform. Scattered on the stone steps, reflecting the shining broken light in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"The Lu family was set on fire? Hehe, why didn't you blame me this time?"

When everyone saw him end, they all shut up.

Now Xiao Qing's identity is not just that of Wanhua's landlord, he has even decided to become the next Shangqing sect master. Before Pai Zhong Da Neng arrived, they dared not take any action easily.

The air was extremely silent for a moment, only Xiao Qing's laughter was thrilling.

"Now I've made it clear to you that I set the fire in the Lu family and killed the people. What do you plan to do?"

Fei Lin said angrily: "Xiao Ziqing, watch your words and deeds!"

Xiao Qing ignored him, but walked slowly to the guest table, his aura poured out, making everyone unable to straighten their waists.

Lu Jinzhi called out in surprise behind him: "Master?"

The author has something to say: Lu Lu, don't be afraid, the uncle will protect you.
