Chapter 172 Departure 2
People cannot be perfect, especially in front of a superior, you must let them know your flaws, your fate, and your weaknesses.As long as you can make the superior feel that you can be controlled, it is considered a success.
The reason why Zhao Tai stood up and recommended Xu Yan was to make himself behave in line with what his age should do. Just now Xu Yan attacked him. If he didn't fight back at this time, it would only arouse the suspicion of other elders and Liu Chen.
On the contrary, the more Zhao Tai wanted to take revenge on Xu Yan, the more normal he seemed.
Others will not regard him as a potential opponent and will not want to suppress him at all.
He didn't even have the courage to challenge Xu Yan, how could he stand firm in front of them?I'm afraid I can't even speak out loud.
Xu Yan was very happy in his heart. This is called hurting others and not benefiting himself. Zhao Tai wanted to harm him but ended up harming himself. A mere innate realm boy brought twenty disciples higher than him to eliminate monsters, saying Going out will make people laugh to death.
Moreover, it is still a question of whether those arrogant disciples will listen to Zhao Tai's words. The scene at that time will definitely surprise people, and it would be inappropriate to let him go.Xu Yan's narrow-mindedness was not the reason for this move to kill someone with a knife. It was an order from the Peak Master himself, and no one could blame him at that time.
Of course Xu Yan wouldn't be so stupid as to stand up and affirm it now, so as to save some young people from gossiping behind their backs.
His refusal to express opinions does not mean that other elders have no opinions.Nangong Yuhua caressed his beard and sighed: "Elder Zhao is still young and lacks experience. I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. Why don't you let me, an old guy, go for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the others suddenly became strange, and they secretly cursed Nangong Yuhua, an old immortal, for being so shameless. He had previously excused himself by saying that he had insufficient energy and blood and a limited lifespan, but now he took the initiative to ask for help, and he looked like he was righteous and awe-inspiring. It's admirable to take advantage of retreat to make progress.
The other elders could see that the peak master Liu Chen had already seen Nangong Yuhua's careful thinking, if it wasn't for tempering Zhao Tai, a good seed, he would have nodded in agreement and let the old guy worry about it.
Now Liu Chen not only can't let Nangong Yuhua lead the team, he can't beat him or scold him, instead he wants to praise him.
"Elder Nangong is old, some things should be left to the young people. Besides, you still have to guard Yaoguang Peak, and the burden on your shoulders is also heavy."
Hearing this, Nangong Yuhua pretended to wipe away her tears and expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, the master of the peak, for your understanding. If Nangong was still in his prime, he would definitely charge into battle for Yaoguang Peak. It's a pity that time makes people grow old."
Everyone's brows furrowed when they heard this. That's enough. No one has that much time to listen to what you say without any meaning.
"Well, the matter is settled like this. The twenty disciples will come from each of your elders, and you can discuss it yourself." Liu Chen shook his sleeves, turned around and left, not wanting to stay for a moment longer.The elders of Yaoguang Peak cannot pick out a few enterprising people, otherwise Yaoguang Peak will sooner or later replace Tianxuan Peak as the main peak.
The Nandou Sword Sect has been passed down to this day, and each suzerain is selected from the six peaks. It can be said that as long as any peak has a suzerain, this lineage inheritance will be extremely strong.As the master of Yaoguang Peak, Liu Chen naturally wants to carry forward the inheritance of Yaoguang Peak. In one year's time, the suzerain will change. If he can defeat the current suzerain Yu Xiao and take the position of suzerain, then It can be regarded as completing an important matter on the heart.
Not only Liu Chen of Yaoguang Peak, but also the peak masters of other main peaks also have the same idea.The fighting within the Nandou Sword Sect is more intense than that of most sects in the world.
The way of the sword focuses on sharpness and heavy killing.
The suzerains of all dynasties believed that in order to create the strongest sect, they must continue to forge ahead. The position of suzerain is changed every 20 years. The first point is to speak with strength.Yu Xiao has been the suzerain of the Nandou Sword Sect for 19 years, and his performance has been mediocre. The other peak masters are all gearing up, looking forward to the arrival of Dabi next year.
After Liu Chen left the meeting hall, he went straight back to his residence, followed by a middle-aged man with a rebellious expression who looked wild and unruly.
"Fang Qian, you are secretly protecting Zhao Tai and must ensure his safety." Liu Chen turned his back to him and picked up a book of poems to read.
The middle-aged man named Fang Gan grinned and said, "That person has a good relationship with Elder Hao, and he will probably take action to escort the old friend's disciple. I'll go and figure out what's going on. I don't want to go"
"What did you say?" Liu Chen frowned, and his tone sank.
"I said I don't want to go. Brother-in-law." Fang Gan replied with a smile without showing any weakness.
Hearing the words of brother-in-law, Liu Chen's expression suddenly turned down, "Do you want me to let your sister tell you directly?"
"It won't help if my sister comes, or else you'll beat me to death, brother-in-law." The housekeeper was so shameless that he couldn't get enough money.
Liu Chen put down the poetry collection and shook his head helplessly.He really had nothing to do with Fang Xianyun, his younger brother. This wild boy relied on Fang Xianyun's love for him and was ignored by everyone. He caused trouble everywhere. Liu Chen tried to teach him a lesson several times, but he was rejected. Fang Xianyun blocked it.
He had no idea what to do with Fang Xianyun.
Thinking of this, Liu Chen relaxed his tone and said warmly: "Now is a critical period. Next year will be the sect leader change meeting. I have to take this opportunity to do more eye-catching things. Now there are monsters in the states and counties near Nandou Sword Sect." , manpower is not free, then Zhao Tai is a good young man, you can just follow him, and you don’t have to worry about other things. After this matter is done, I will allow you to wander around in the world for two months. "
"Thank you, brother-in-law." Fang Qian's expression straightened and he saluted very simply.
Liu Chen was stunned for a moment, out of anger, and snorted coldly: "Your kid has been waiting here for a long time, right? He is very weird, just like your sister."
"How could I make my brother-in-law love me so much?" Fang Qian chuckled and walked out happily without waiting for Liu Chen to speak again.
"I'm still in my thirties with such a heart, I really don't know what to do in the future." Liu Chen stood alone in the room and sighed secretly.
After Fang Gan went out, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a calm and calm face.He walked all the way to a courtyard on the east side, opened the door and entered.
In the courtyard, a delicate and beautiful young woman was resting on a rattan chair.
"Sister, I'm back." Fang Qian's eyes swept across Fang Xianyun's body, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he slowly stepped forward and said.
"Well, what is he looking for from you?" Fang Xianyun stretched, and straightened up with a lazy expression.
The two are half-sisters, and she dresses more casually in front of Fang Gan.
