You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Five days later, Lou Xueyu returned to the cave from outside with a smile on her face.

When she saw Shi Beichen, she was surprised and asked, "Husband, are you okay today?

You came home earlier than I did."

Shi Beichen looked at her with a smile: "There are not many things left. Zelin and Jiao'er happen to be free, so I will leave the matter to them."

Lou Xueyu listened to him, smiled and nodded: "It's to let them do more things."

"Madam, are you in a good mood today?"

Lou Xueyu smiled and nodded: "Yes, I heard a piece of news outside that our Lan Jie'er is likely to be the next leader of Zizai Peak."

Shi Beichen looked at the smile on her face, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

A few days ago, Master Fang Cheng talked to Shi Beichen about some arrangements for Zizai Peak's affairs. He also mentioned to Shi Beichen that Shi Zelan had no intention of taking over Zizai Peak's affairs.

After Shi Beichen heard what Fang Chengzhen said, he just smiled and agreed: "I have only been with Sister Lan for a short time, but I know that this child will not lie in front of her relatives.

Senior Brother, since Sister Lan doesn't have this idea, you should focus all your attention on Lin Zi."

Master Fang Cheng looked at Shi Beichen for a while and said, "Sister Lan is your daughter. She is very much like you in these aspects."

"Big Brother, she is the child taught by you, the second and third brothers. I think she is like you."

"Beichen, it's enough for you to know the truth about this matter. You don't need to tell others."

Shi Beichen looked at the joy on Lou Xueyu's face and reminded her with a smile, "Madam, Sister Lan is the eldest disciple taught directly by our Second Senior Brother.

Lin Zicai is the eldest disciple of the senior brother. You don’t have to believe in such legends.”

"I see that your senior brother loves Sister Lan very much. This kind of rumor is 50% believable."

Fang Cheng Zhenjun had of course heard these legends, and he asked people to investigate the source of the news.

He received the notification quickly and was immediately amused by the actions of the Lou family.

He told Lin Zi, who came to pay his respects, what had happened here.

"Lin Zi, do you now understand why your senior sister is unwilling to take over the affairs of the peak sect?"

"Master, why won't the Lou family let Senior Sister go?"

"They thought they had done a good deed for your senior sister this time, and that this would help them suppress you."

"They don't need to spread such gossip. I never thought of taking the position of Senior Sister."

"Lin Zi, your senior sister is right, you are a more suitable candidate than her.

Over the years, your senior sister has been watching your growth.

She has a broad mind and is thinking about the future of Fengmen, do you understand?"

"Master, I feel I have let my senior sister down. If I hadn't shown up, she wouldn't have thought of giving way."

“Silly child.

Your appearance is inevitable. Your senior sister has always wanted us to accept a few more disciples."

Master Fang Cheng informed Shi Beichen of what the Lou family had done, and he showed no sign of surprise after hearing it.

"Big Brother, since Sister Lan has become the young master of Wuxin Peak, you can announce Lin Zi's identity to the public."

Master Fang Cheng sighed and said, "Lin Zi felt sorry for Sister Lan. He said that he would wait until Master came out of seclusion and then he would follow Master's arrangements."

"Big Brother, Master loves Sister Lan so much, he should support Sister Lan's decision, right?"

"It's hard to say.

I will decide according to the children's ideas, and wait until Master comes out of retreat, and then Master will make the arrangements. Anyway, Master is the one who understands my thoughts best."

Zhenjun Fang Cheng looked at Shi Beichen deeply. Originally, Zhenjun Fengyuan and Lord Fenghuang were very optimistic about Shi Beichen as the successor, but he later married Lou Xueyu.

Shi Beichen's thoughtful expression surprised Lou Xueyu and she asked, "Husband, don't you think highly of Lan Jie'er?" Shi Beichen shook his head, "No.

It’s just that for such a big matter, we need to hear what Lan Jieer thinks.”

"Okay, when she comes, I'll ask her."

After Shi Zelan arrived, she sat with her father and mother for a while. When she was about to leave, Lou Xueyu finally spoke.

"Sister Lan, have you heard from people outside that you are the next leader of Zizai Peak?"

Shi Zelan was shocked when she heard Lou Xueyu's words: "Mother, how could I be the next leader of Zizai Peak?

My master uncle, my master junior uncle, and my father are all still alive, so it’s not my turn.”

After Lou Xueyu was stunned for a moment, she finally reacted.

"Yes, your master is still in seclusion, your master uncle, master junior uncle and father are all here, who is talking nonsense outside?"

Shi Zelan looked at Lou Xueyu and saw that she was still deep in thought. He bowed to her silently and left the cave.

After Shi Zelan left, Lou Xueyu blushed and said to Shi Beichen, "Husband, you said that person specifically mentioned these things to me, what is her intention?"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't pay any attention to her anymore?"

"I ignored her. It was my father who sent me a message. When I went over, the man was there."

Shi Beichen looked at Lou Xueyu and sighed, "They don't want Lan Jie'er to take over the position of the leader of Zizai Peak."

“Huh, is this something they want or don’t want?
This is Zizai Peak’s business.”

"Xue Yu, Sister Lan is the eldest disciple of Second Senior Brother, not the disciple of First Senior Brother.

If someone mentions these things to you in the future, they are people with ulterior motives. "

"You mean your senior brother wants to recommend his own disciple to take the position?"

Shi Beichen looked at her for a while and said, "Xueyu, we in Zizai Peak never fight among ourselves.

Linzi is the eldest disciple of the senior brother, so he has the right to do so, which is good."

After a long silence, Lou Xueyu said, "Husband, if you don't marry me, will you have a chance to take over the position of Peak Master many years later?"

"The master is in his prime, and the brothers are all smart and capable.

I have no interest in that position, and it has nothing to do with whether I marry you or not."

"But they all said that because you married me, you can't sit in that position."

“Don’t listen to nonsense.

They are jealous of the harmony we all live in on Zizai Peak."

Lou Xueyu's eyes turned red: "My father doesn't have much affection for me now. He just uses me."

Shi Beichen reached out and patted her hand: "When my mother-in-law is about to leave the confinement, I will accompany you to greet her."

Lou Xueyu nodded and said, "Okay.

When I insisted on marrying you, my mother told me that if I married you, I had to be prepared to cut off all ties with my parents' family.

At that time, I thought my mother was too harsh on me, but now that I am a mother myself, I understand how she really treated me.

My mother has always been devoted to my father. I don't know how sad she felt when she found out that my father was having an affair.

It’s a pity that I wasn’t with her at that time.”

"I'll accompany you to where my mother-in-law is in seclusion tomorrow, okay?"

"it is good."

Shi Beichen specifically mentioned the matter of Shi Zelin and Shi Zejiao. After hearing this, Lou Xueyu's mood quickly calmed down. (End of this chapter)
