Chapter 1159 Go ask him if he should be the sect leader
The meeting in the Inheritance Hall lasted for more than half an hour. The other seven elders wanted to know how much benefit they could gain and how much they could make by entering the world after the Xuanming Sect entered the world.
There are definitely benefits; Xu Yuankong knows the importance of sharing the spoils.
So Xu Yi painted a very, very big picture, and claimed that the Tang Sect had already begun to contact him, offering to provide soul tool services.
Upon hearing this, the elders all expressed that Xu Yi was really good at hiding things. Why didn't he say something earlier? If he had said it earlier, would they have been able to think about it for so long?
That's the Tang Sect, which is currently one of the best in the field of soul tools.
The Xuanming Sect is merely secluded, not completely isolated from the outside world.
Because they were suppressed by multiple forces in the past, the Xuanming Sect has a very good intelligence gathering ability. They can obtain a lot of information from the outside world every day to ensure that they do not become out of touch with the world.
They were naturally aware of the newly emerging Tang Sect, and some elders had even considered bribery of the Tang Sect.
The idea was shelved only because Xu Sanshi was also active in the Tang Clan and had a good relationship with the two sect leaders of the Tang Clan.
Xu Yi's reiteration of this point undoubtedly hits the nail on the head regarding their needs.
Entering the WTO requires military deterrence, and the prerequisite for military deterrence is one's own strength.
The soul tools of the Tang Sect are powerful weapons, which are equivalent to making themselves even stronger.
Rounding down, the Tang Sect's cooperation with its own sect means increasing its own sect's combat power.
Therefore, the other seven elders did not deliberate for too long on the proposals for the various preparations for joining the WTO. Instead, they agreed after considering the balance of interests.
Xu Yuankong smiled as he watched one elder after another nod in agreement to the Xuanming Sect's entry into the mortal world, his smile growing ever brighter.
Apart from the elder who initially jumped out to subtly express his opposition.
We'll find some time later to send that old man to the east coast to dig for seashells.
Xu Yi collected the statements of each elder, compiled them into a document, and had them sign their names.
With that, the Xuanming Sect's meeting to enter the mortal realm concluded, and all departments within the sect were notified to prepare for battle.
Once the Xuanming Sect enters the world, the previous allied forces will definitely make a comeback and launch the fiercest attack on the Xuanming Sect.
After all these years, they've had the fat in their mouths; how could they possibly spit it out?
Xu Yuankong went to mobilize and inspect the combat situation of each unit, while Xu Yi called Xu Tenghai to his office.
"Xiao Hai, while the sect is still preparing for its entry into the world, go and find San Shi," Xu Yi said.
Xu Tenghai was slightly surprised. Was his reaction really that obvious?
Has Master already seen my unwillingness to accept this?
In fact, Xu Yi didn't just see it; he had already anticipated that Xu Tenghai would be unwilling when Xu Yuankong announced the convening of the Inheritance Hall meeting.
The Xuanming Sect has no saints, and the position of sect leader that he had previously hinted at is now out of reach. It would be strange if Xu Tenghai were calm about it.
If things are truly calm, does that mean the Xuanming Sect has no place in your heart?
Ok?
"I understand." Xu Tenghai didn't know what to say for the moment, so he agreed.
Xu Yi stared intently at Xu Tenghai, not missing a single expression on his face.
"I know what happened today is hard for you to accept, but let me tell you the truth: the Xuanming Sect entered the mortal world to become Sanshi's backer."
"However, this heavy burden will not fall on your shoulders for the time being; I'll take on that headache."
"After you find him, you can ask him if he wants to come back, but I can tell you the answer to that question right now: he will come back as a guest at most."
At this point, Xu Tenghai's eyes widened slightly. He understood that Xu Sanshi was unwilling to return and inherit the Xuanming Sect.
But why?
Has Xu Sanshi really been a playboy for too long?
Or did he lose his mind chasing after that girl?
Xu Tenghai didn't quite understand. Why did it have to be so difficult to pursue a girl?
Aren't those second-rate and third-rate sects' trash just women who change women like clothes?
Yes, he didn't understand, because he had three wives in his small courtyard.
Yes, all three of them. His legal wife was his evolutionary partner from back then.
In this respect, he has won by a large margin.
"Xiao Hai, I can tell you definitively that San Shi has joined the Tang Clan and is one of its founders. So now, do you still think he wants to come back?" Xu Yi sighed slightly.
This kid is a spoiled brat but not too bad, a bit simple-minded but not too stupid.
The Tang Sect is now a thriving top-tier sect with great potential for improvement. In comparison, can the stagnant Xuanming Sect under my command compare to the Tang Sect?
That's impossible.
Upon hearing this, Xu Tenghai could no longer maintain his composure.
Xu Sanshi actually abandoned the Xuanming Sect and joined the Tang Sect?!
This is truly exciting and surprising!
No wonder Xu Yi looked at him meaningfully. If he showed any dissatisfaction, his position might really be in jeopardy.
For a moment, Xu Tenghai felt fortunate for his pure, unyielding spirit.
I'm glad I was just stubborn and didn't have any other thoughts.
"I will go, Master." Xu Tenghai bowed respectfully.
Xu Yi could tell that his reprimands were having an effect.
He also didn't want his top disciple, whom he had personally trained, to actually fight with his son.
The Xuanming Shield is definitely no match for Xuanwu.
"By the way, could you ask him how this guy's martial soul evolved? If possible, I'd like him to share some of the burden with his father, as a reward for cleaning up his messes all these years!"
"If you don't tell me, I'll go over there myself and start yelling at you!"
Xu Tenghai was taken aback. His master seemed to have unloaded some burdens, his tone had become lighter, and there was even a bit of... the childishness of an old man?
"Yes, I will repeat it word for word."
Xu Tenghai felt that it was best for him to just do his job honestly.
For a moment, Xu Tenghai was still feeling fortunate and did not carefully consider Xu Yi's words.
He was still pondering why Xu Sanshi had chosen to join the Tang Clan instead of returning to inherit the Xuanming Sect.
After all, he was already able to communicate with the legendary divine beast Xuanwu and briefly possessed the fighting power of Xuanwu's form.
Wait, communicating with Xuanwu?
Xu Tenghai slowly raised his head, meeting Xu Yi's still meaningful gaze.
"Master, shouldn't this be something you, or the elders, should handle?"
He now remembered that Xu Yi had just asked him to inquire about Xu Sanshi's ability to communicate with Xuanwu.
Putting aside whether Xu Sanshi would reveal this secret, the very fact that he was sent there is rather strange.
The latest novel is first published here!
He's just a minor inner-manager now, isn't he?
Xu Yi looked at Xu Tenghai's puzzled and surprised expression, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
Although this disciple has a cold personality, he is very direct with those close to him.
"It's you. Go with Xu Lin. There aren't that many missions. Why?"
"Is this something I can really know?"
"Xiao Hai, you must remember, when you sit in my position, you can have your own reasons, but you can't say them out loud. You need to find the answer to these reasons through your own means."
Upon hearing this, Xu Tenghai was struck dumb. He took a deep breath, regained his composure, bowed to Xu Yi, and then quickly retreated.
Unlike the slightly heavy feeling when they first arrived, their steps were much lighter this time as they left.
Xu Yi leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes wearily.
"Xiao Hai is a promising talent, it's a pity he's a little slow-witted, but that's alright, he can learn and improve. As for that rebellious son..."
No one knows a son better than his father. Although Xu Yi rarely saw Xu Sanshi, he never stopped keeping up with information about his troublesome son.
He knew that Xu Sanshi had no intention of inheriting the Xuanming Sect; he disliked the sect.
He did not return to take over the position of sect leader when he was at the most likely to inherit the Xuanming Sect.
Even if they come back later, it will only be to visit relatives, or to return as members of the Tang Clan.
That's why Xu Yi went to find Xu Tenghai and, in a straightforward manner, gave him a warning and a wake-up call, reminding him that the sect leader's words were not spoken lightly.
As expected, the next sect leader of the Xuanming Sect will indeed be Xu Tenghai.
However, for now, he still needs to climb higher from his position as the head of the inner sect, and also needs to maintain a good relationship with Xu Sanshi.
The Xuanming Sect is, after all, the home of that rebellious son, so this Xuanwu won't be too far away from the Xuanming Sect.
That night, Xu Lin, who had just returned, stood by the gate of the village leading to the river, waiting for his mission partner.
As a skilled intelligence gatherer, it was common for him to be constantly on the move carrying out missions.
Before long, Xu Tenghai, dressed in a black outfit, hurried over.
There were still some lingering fluctuations of soul power on him, his clothes were slightly disheveled, and there was still a murderous aura in his eyes.
"I just took care of some minor matters. I apologize for keeping Uncle Lin waiting. Let's set off now." Xu Tenghai bowed slightly.
Xu Lin glanced at him and, combining that with the daytime meeting in the Inheritance Hall, knew what the kid had been up to.
He went to seek revenge; he's not a knife that can be manipulated by a few mouths.
"You little rascal, you're pretty secretive, aren't you?" Xu Lin asked as they walked.
"I just beat him up and threw him in the trash. It was all minor injuries. I've already paid the fine in advance," Xu Tenghai said with a slight smile.
"Good lad, let's go." Xu Lin chuckled and transformed into a streak of black light, sailing down the river.
Xu Tenghai also transformed into a dark light and entered the great river.
Under the cover of night, the Xuanming Sect, which was usually pitch black, was now brightly lit, with a large number of sect members busy at work.
Xu Yi and Xu Yuankong stood on the top floor, watching the two dark lights disappear into the distance.
"Have you notified Xiao Xun?" Xu Yuankong asked.
"Not yet, I plan to go there myself." Xu Yi smiled somewhat embarrassedly, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.
Xu Yuankong cursed and shook his head slightly, "Father and son are exactly the same."
