Qiuqiu almost didn't listen to what Shi'er said next. Those names were unfamiliar to her, and she had no idea what their respective responsibilities were. However, she could make out something interesting. The nine peaks of Jiufeng Mountain are also divided into nine.
He is in charge personally, but the positions are currently vacant. According to his intention, a new candidate for the leadership will be decided within this year and next.
Although Qiuqiu couldn't quite understand it, she could vaguely feel that once the news was announced, the sensation it caused was no less than the one just now.
Whether they were old and prudent or young and promising, they all showed expressions of uncontrollable excitement.
Although the first news was shocking enough, in the end it had little to do with everyone's vital interests. But the second news was completely different.
This is something you can really see! Being the master of a peak is definitely a matter of dignity and dignity. Older people may not have much hope of competition, but they have younger generations, not to mention the younger ones.
Qiuqiu glanced at the back row. Even Lin Su, such a steady person, couldn't help but lean forward slightly, his eyes were bright, and his attitude was obvious.
This is human nature. Who doesn’t want to go to higher places? Even if Qiuqiu doesn’t know much about Jiufeng, she has stayed in Xiuyuan Mountain. Several Zhangfeng masters in the sect, led by Yu Shui and Yuxiang, are facing Zhangfeng.
The sect has the confidence to challenge him, and he can no longer take the position of leader, but it doesn't matter, he can train his apprentices to compete for the next leader.
Although the structure and behavior of Jiufeng seem to be different from those in the Central Plains, there should not be much difference in these major events.
Shi'er's openness to competition like this is definitely beneficial to increasing Jiufeng's strength, but it also has disadvantages. For example, in Xiuyuan Mountain, everyone has their own agenda, and internal strife and internal strife are severe.
But before anything reaches its peak, the rising process should be benign and positive. As someone has said, the wonderful thing is not the dream, but the process of realizing it.
Thinking about Shi'er's situation, it's good that he took over the position of the boss and became a boss-level figure. But he is young, so I'm afraid the elders won't be so convinced of him. Jiufeng may have encountered some changes in the past, and Qiuqiu has come.
Oh my God, the people I saw were either elders like Elder Ou who had completely white beards, or people like Lin Su and Guan Wei who were hairless and weak in their work, but the most important part of the prime of life that should form the main cornerstone and strength. But...
Not a single one was seen.
For example, there are elders, real people, and disciples in Xiuyuan Mountain - three generations of old, middle, and young people, and they have inherited it very well. However, there are faults in Jiufeng.
Where did those people go? Are they no longer alive?
Facing such a group of people, Shi'er must be under great pressure.
"If you have nothing to do, just disperse." Shi'er finally said, "Elder Zheng and Xiuru will stay."
Xiuru's shoulders shook.
Grandfather would never have imagined what the young master was doing by leaving them. It was probably to prepare a new prescription. But Xiuru knew very well that the little girl must have a grudge against her. She would definitely take revenge for that afternoon's attack.
.
Everyone dispersed one after another, and Lin Su was worried. After walking a few steps, she realized that the guard had not followed.
He looked back and saw the guard standing by the bridge, looking at Fengxian Pavilion in a trance.
Lin Su was secretly amused.
The guard usually seemed careless about everything, but when the young master said what Zhang Feng said, even he became restless.
He walked over and patted the guard on the shoulder: "Let's go back. Let's go back and add up the total and see..." His words stopped in his throat. The guard's eyes looked wrong.
Those were not expressions of excitement or longing. He pursed his lips tightly and looked at Fengxian Pavilion, with a chilling light in his eyes that made people's hearts palpitate.
Lin Su was shocked and pulled him hard. The two of them stood in the shadow beside the bridge, and then he lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
The young master just said those words, and he showed such a look.
Others are unclear, and even people like Elder Yuan rely on their elders to try to manipulate him and influence him with rules. But what good will come to those who do this? Those old fools are not clear, but Lin Su can see it clearly.
Why did Elder Wen quietly disperse his practice? In the end, he said he was hiding from the world, but in fact he had to retreat.
If the guard had any inappropriate thoughts, Lin Su would be the first to wake him up.
The guard glanced at him and realized that it was Lin Su. If it had been someone else, he would never have explained a word.
"Do you know that something happened to Miss Jingqiu this afternoon?"
Lin Su's eyes widened slightly, then narrowed again: "Where did you know that?"
"Don't worry about it."
Lin Su was not stupid either. When he heard this, he thought about the young master leaving Elder Zheng and Xiuru alone just now, and suddenly realized: "Did Xiuru do it?"
This stupid girl.
Lin Su knew about her and always thought highly of herself. Because she was beautiful and was the granddaughter of Elder Zheng, almost everyone in the mountain followed her and supported her, which gradually made her develop a temperament of only caring about herself and not caring about others.
.
This temper usually seems to be nothing, just a bit spoiled and unruly. For girls, especially pretty girls, everyone thinks it is harmless to have a temper.
But this willfulness is often followed by reckless behavior.
Lin Su also found an opportunity to persuade her once, but judging from her perfunctory look at that time, it was clear that she didn't listen at all.
But Lin Su never expected that she would be so confused.
"This girl..." Lin Su hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked back.
This time it was the guard who grabbed him: "What are you going to do?"
"I'll go back and take a look. She really shouldn't have done it."
"You and I are no longer allowed to interfere in this matter." The guard came closer and said, "Why didn't the young master just question her in front of others?"
Is it just to prevent others from interfering?
Lin Su was a little worried. For a moment, he thought of Elder Wen and others who had offended the young master. How proud and arrogant they were at that time. They were so confident that even if the young master was angry, what could they do to them? They were not
They are weaklings who can be manipulated by others. Besides, their duties are so important that Jiufeng cannot do without them.
But what about the reality? Without anyone in the world, life would be the same.
Lin Su breathed a sigh of relief when she thought that Elder Zheng had stayed with him.
Elder Zheng has a prudent temperament and has always been respectful to the young master. Since the young master asked him to stay with him, he would definitely not kill his granddaughter in front of him.
So Xiuru's life should be saved.
Everyone in the room filed out, and in the blink of an eye they were all gone, leaving only Elder Zheng and Xiuru.
Xiuru felt a ghost in her heart and glanced at Elder Zheng.
No, she couldn't wait for that girl to speak first.
"Young Master... Elder... I was really rash this afternoon. I shouldn't have made that unimportant joke..."
Elder Zheng was thinking about adding or subtracting some medicinal ingredients to the new soup recipe when he heard his granddaughter's words: "What did you say? What did you do this afternoon?"
Qiuqiu sat where she was and didn't move.
Xiuru lowered her head and whispered: "When I went to the medicine garden, I met Miss Jingqiu and saw her riding away on a crane. I wanted to tease her and make a joke, but Junior Sister Jingqiu fell.
Come down, luckily she is safe and uninjured..."
Elder Zheng sighed: "You kid! How can you be so careless? Jokes between classmates must be measured. Fortunately, Miss Jingqiu is fine. Why don't you go and ask her for help?"
Shi'er and Qiuqiu didn't say a word. They looked at their ancestors and grandsons asking and answering questions here, and it sounded like this.
Elder Zheng really thought that it was just a joke and a small misunderstanding, and he asked his granddaughter to sincerely apologize. He thought that the young master and Miss Jingqiu would not pursue it. But when he looked up and saw the two people sitting behind the table,
His expression made his heart suddenly thump.
No...something's not quite right.
Xiuru has already rushed to speak: "Miss Jingqiu, what happened in the afternoon is really my fault, and I didn't mean it. Fortunately, you were hurt too, otherwise I would really feel sorry for you. Please be kind to me, please."
If you argue with me, I'm here to make amends to you."
She knew it was important to seize the opportunity at this moment, so before Qiuqiu could speak, she stood up and bowed respectfully to Shier and Qiuqiu.
Elder Zheng felt even more wrong.
He knew his granddaughter's temperament best. She was usually very arrogant. It was just a joke. Would she give such a grand gift?
She must have done something else, or else things were not as easy as she said. Otherwise, what was the point of her taking the initiative to give such a big gift?
Qiuqiu waited for her to finish the ceremony, then said slowly: "The crane carrying me has been found. It was seriously injured."
Xiuru didn't expect that she would say such a thing. She was stunned for a moment and then said: "I have medicine here, just give it a good treatment."
Elder Zheng's expression became more and more ugly. He could already conclude that his granddaughter was definitely not just playing a prank. She must have greatly offended the young master and Jingqiu.
Elder Zheng suddenly remembered that what the young master had just said was about him and Qiuqiu becoming Taoist couples.
Why didn't you say it earlier and later, but why did you say it at this time? The young master didn't tell everyone about it when he first came. Moreover, Miss Jingqiu was still young, so even if the two exchanged tokens, they didn't go through it.
The ceremony can definitely be discussed in a few years, when she is older and her cultivation is deeper.
This was meant for him and Xiuru.
The young master is warning them.
Elder Zheng's heart was shaken, and cold sweat ran down his back.
The granddaughter is in trouble.
He glared at Xiuru fiercely, and said respectfully to the young master: "Young master, please forgive me, this girl lost her parents after beating a child, and I neglected to discipline her, and developed her lawless temper. Today
This is a big mistake! Young master, please don't tolerate her lightly, you must punish her severely."
Xiuru can hardly believe that her grandfather did not help her to intercede, but instead asked the young master to severely punish her? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, and your support
