"It's hard to say." Wu Qianqian hesitated and said uncertainly.
"Oh? It's hard to say? What's the best way to put it?" Kong Jingfeng looked at his niece with interest and asked with a smile.
"The performance of the three people is very different from the previous rumors." Wu Qianqian frowned and said: "In the rumors, Shi Qianshan is mature and prudent, able to stand on his own, and handles everything in an all-round way. But this time, it is surprising.
When I saw it, I was greatly disappointed.”
"And the second disciple, Chu Yang, was rumored to be taciturn, dull and withdrawn, but today he has a faint edge. He seems timid and fearful, but deep down, he is..." Wu Qianqian thought for a while, but couldn't think of a suitable adjective, so she had to
Said: "In short... this person is very strange. I can't see through him. As for the third disciple Tan Tan, it is really as bad as the rumors."
After she finished speaking, both of them fell silent, frowning tightly and saying nothing. After a long time, Wu Yunliang stood up, walked slowly to the wall, stretched out his hand, and uncovered a large mural on the wall.
It moved away with a sound, revealing a white paper inside.
On the white paper, there is a column of names on the left side from top to bottom, a total of forty people. Behind each name, there is a check mark with a red pen.
There are more than a dozen, with two check marks; there are two people, occupying the first and second positions, with three check marks after their names. The names of these two people are: Xue Yemeng and Qin Mu Shang.
Li Jianyin's name is at the 19th place, and Shi Qianshan's name is at the 13th place. But there are no names of Chu Yang and Tan Tan on it.
Wu Yunliang held the pen and was silent for a moment, then drew a red line on Li Jianyin's name, erasing the three words "Li Jianyin".
Then he thought carefully and wrote two words at the bottom: Chu Yang.
Then he added a "?" after Chu Yang's name. Then he took two steps back, frowned and thought for a while, but then wiped out Chu Yang's name again with a stroke of his pen, leaving only
A "?"
"This matter may cause an uproar." Kong Jingfeng frowned: "Our Tianwai Building is already experiencing internal turmoil, and now this incident has occurred, involving Junior Brother Meng..."
"Junior Brother Meng cannot be involved. With his temper, unless the Tianwai Tower is destroyed, he will not pay attention to other things." Wu Yunliang shook his head, but his tone was very sure. Then his face darkened and he said
"Is that Shi Qianshan... really so unbearable?" There seemed to be disappointment in his tone.
"Yes." Wu Qianqian had a very bad impression of Shi Qianshan. This Shi Qianshan, who was usually praised as "mature and steady", in her heart, was just a super 250, and a blind 250 at that.
Hopeless!
Wu Yunliang sighed deeply.
The two of them didn't say much about this matter, and they obviously didn't take it to heart. After all, it was just a fight between juniors, and it had nothing to do with the overall situation. Now, both of them have worried looks on their faces, and they obviously have something else to worry about.
thing.
Wu Yunliang waved his hand, and Wu Qianqian understood and retreated quietly.
There were only two people left in the study room.
"Brother, my little brother's suggestion..." Kong Jingfeng tentatively said.
"No rush." Wu Yunliang waved his hand, looking worried.
Kong Jingfeng was silent for a while, and then said solemnly: "My Tianwai Tower is only the seventh generation passed down to our generation. The first generation founder founded the sect and ranked among the seven top sects in the next three days.
In the middle, they enjoyed royal worship! What an honor and favor. But the second generation broke with the Zhao royal family, and their reputation plummeted from then on. The masters of the sect were hunted down and captured at sea, and most of their bodies died. Finally, the second generation ancestor accidentally met him in his later years.
I helped the royal family a lot, but my relationship with the royal family was no longer on good terms. But I managed to recuperate and return to the Nine Peaks and One Garden."
"The elders of the third generation are all stunning and outstanding. I thought that our sect would be revived, but I didn't expect that just because of the prosperity of talents, it triggered internal disputes in Jiufeng Garden. A fierce battle, since
They killed each other, and Tianwailou's vitality was severely damaged, but he only left an order to strictly prohibit the disciples from killing each other."
"But now, in addition to Junior Brother Meng's Purple Bamboo Garden, Jiufeng Garden has been at war with each other, and the undercurrent is surging! Among the next eighth generation disciples, the position of the top ten disciples is another life and death fight. The sect
A huge loss in strength is foreseeable.”
"Our Tianwai Pavilion has fallen from the top sect back then to the second-rate sect now..." Kong Jingfeng's voice was cautious at first, but slowly became more and more passionate: "Elder brother, Jiu Feng Yi Yuan,
It looks grand in scale, but each one has its own thoughts. It’s better to have nothing than nothing!”
"With such dispersion, traitors emerge one after another. Our Tianwai Tower is in many dangers... There were seven major sects in the past, but now there are only six left. The remaining one spot, Hongchenxuan and Xinjianzhai have been coveting it for a long time. It is the most powerful competition.
Opponent! Moreover, the Divine Sword Pavilion and the Black Blood Alliance have a deep hatred for us, and they are even more determined to kill me..."
"Our Tianwai Tower is at a critical moment now!" Kong Jingfeng looked sad: "Senior Brother, we have to be anxious!"
"How could I not know what you said?" Wu Yunliang sighed longly: "And what you mentioned are only Jianghu factors and external factors. You haven't mentioned the real crisis yet."
"In the past few years in Tianwai Tower, there have been close to 600 male disciples of the eighth generation, but only a few of them have become successful. However, the number of female disciples, who were less than 50 ten years ago, has grown to nearly 150 now.
Ten people! And although all of them have limited qualifications, their faces are as beautiful as flowers..." Wu Yunliang exhaled a long breath, walked to the window with his hands behind his hands, and said silently: "This is the statue of the destroyed sect!
"
"Slim and graceful are the root of trouble." Wu Yunliang said calmly: "In a continent where the strong are respected, beauty is a kind of resource. It is also the source of disaster. The decline of Tianwai Tower is imminent. We only have to wait for the eighth generation.
If a disciple walks around the world, he will definitely cause endless disputes!"
"It is the source of disaster, but it may not be a resource!" Kong Jingfeng retorted: "Walking around the world may be able to bring a lot of help to our Tianwai Tower. It is not known."
"Do you think it's possible?" Wu Yunliang smiled sarcastically: "Beauty, in the eyes of most powerful people, is just a tool."
"The current Tianwai Tower is suffering from internal and external troubles. If we follow your suggestion and forcibly merge the nine peaks and one garden into one centralized center, I'm afraid it will immediately fall apart! It will fall into a state of collapse." Wu Yunliang said solemnly: "At that time, if there are foreign enemies,
If we take the opportunity to attack, our Tianwai Tower will be destroyed immediately."
"It is true to say that you should use heavy medicines when you are seriously ill. But if you use heavy medicines rashly when you are terminally ill, you will only die immediately! What's more, our enemies are far more than just these..."
Wu Yunliang hesitated to speak, as if there was something he couldn't say.
Kong Jingfeng said unwillingly: "Is this going to go on like this? Let the sect slowly decline?"
"Need to use external force..."
When Wu Yunliang mentioned the words "relying on external force", his face was extremely complicated, almost word for word, and the look in his eyes was even more suggestive of burning the boat. After that, he did not say any more, but just faced the wall in silence.
There was only a list of thirty-nine names and a "?" left, and he remained silent for a long time.
"But what to do with those female disciples?" Kong Jingfeng felt relieved and then raised the topic again.
