Chapter 486 The trump card
"what?"

Malu didn't expect that he would have a chance to choose the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

He followed Chu Qianyuan back just to explain things clearly and to get another reward.

Han Guangzhong from the Tianlong Sect has already made a generous donation, and he and Gu Qingyi from the Beggars' Sect have also made a lot of efforts. Not only did they recover their ancestor's precious lotus bowl, but they also exposed Yuan Xiaoyun's true identity.

The Beggars' Sect is the largest gang in the world, and Malu thought that their thank-you gift this time should not be less than that of the Tianlong Sect.

However, no matter how bold he thought, he never expected that the Beggars' Sect actually intended to give him the position of leader.

Millipede refused on the spot.

What a joke, he was just here on a business trip and came less than one day a week. And when the ingredients were almost collected, a new route was opened up, so he came even less often.

Where would I have the time to manage and operate a gang, especially the largest gang in the martial arts world?

But before he could open his mouth, someone else said, "Not right, not right. This is totally wrong."

The person who spoke was Dharma Protector Shi. He and his son Shi Ruoyu were both from Bai Baoyu's faction, so naturally they would oppose Malu becoming the gang leader.

However, he did not make any more fuss about millipede's identity.

Because as Chu Qianyuan said, although Malu has not yet joined the Beggars' Sect, he is the last disciple of the former leader of the Beggars' Sect, Deng Youtai, and therefore cannot be considered an outsider.

So Guardian Shi changed his perspective and said, "After all, Young Master Ma is still young and has never worked in the gang before. How can he manage so many brothers if he becomes the gang leader right away?

Deputy Gang Leader Jiang continued, "That's right, Young Master Ma is still young, so even if you want to be the Gang Leader, you don't have to rush. You can start as the helmsman first, accumulate experience, and then wait until the new Gang Leader steps down before you take over.

"Don't worry about the experience, the two elders and Deputy Gang Leader Jiang. If my junior brother becomes the gang leader, I will be there to help him." Chu Qianyuan said.

Bai Baoyu and Deputy Gang Leader Jiang looked at each other in surprise when they heard this.

After a moment, Deputy Gang Leader Jiang said, "In that case, let's follow the old rules and let the elders and the helmsman choose the next gang leader."

"No. My Beggars' Sect has announced to the world that whoever obtains the Lotus Bowl first will become the next leader. You all agreed to this at the time, so how can we go back on our word?"

Deputy Gang Leader Jiang felt somewhat helpless. He also didn't know why Chu Qianyuan, who usually didn't like to fight for power, acted out of character this time and took such a tough attitude.

Malu guessed some of Chu Qianyuan's thoughts and came out to smooth things over.

"Oh, it doesn't matter. Just choose. But since we have to choose, why not let the brothers present choose together? They are all members of the Beggars' Sect. We should listen to their opinions on such an important matter as choosing the leader."

"You said it!" Deputy Gang Leader Jiang was overjoyed.

"It's settled then." Bai Baoyu said hurriedly.

Chu Qianyuan frowned, and he pulled Malu aside, "Little Junior Brother, why did you agree to them? You have no chance of winning if you compete with them for the leader."

Bai Baoyu and Deputy Leader Jiang are both veterans of the Beggars' Sect. They have been running the gang for many years. Their connections and prestige are not comparable to Malu, a newcomer who suddenly appeared.

Even if the law enforcement elder owed him a favor, and even if Deng Youtai's disciples helped, this number of supporters was far from enough.

Ma Lu said, "It's okay, Big Brother. I know you don't want Big Brother Two to lose to Elder Bai and the others. I'll take the position of gang leader, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What's the matter?" Chu Qianyuan was a little surprised. He didn't know where Malu's confidence came from.

…………About half an incense stick later, Deputy Gang Leader Jiang ordered people to gather all the Beggar Gang disciples inside and outside the sect and talked about the matter of selecting a gang leader.

So many people definitely cannot vote, and most of the Beggars' Sect disciples are illiterate. Asking them to write the names of the three people is more difficult than asking them to fight with the Tianlong Sect.

So in the end we marked out three areas, and when the time comes you just have to stand there and decide who you support.

In just a short while, Bai Baoyu and Deputy Gang Leader Jiang called over some more men.

They were not targeting Malu. In fact, when Malu agreed to choose the gang leader, he no longer posed any threat to Bai Baoyu and Deputy Gang Leader Jiang.

In comparison, the two of them have become each other's biggest threat, and they are evenly matched, so naturally they have to try their best to increase their chances of winning.

The people called by Deputy Gang Leader Jiang arrived first, so he wanted to start right away, but Malu suggested introducing himself first.

This request was not excessive. After all, most of the Beggars' Sect disciples did not know who Malu was. They only heard that he was Deng Youtai's last disciple.

In addition, Bai Baoyu agreed immediately, so Deputy Gang Leader Jiang had no reason to obstruct anymore.

Afterwards, Malu came to the crowd, followed by Chu Qianyuan and Gu Qingyi.

After clearing his throat, Malu used his internal energy and spoke.

"My dear brothers of the Beggars' Sect, I am Malu, and I am the disciple that the old Sect Leader Deng accepted from outside.

"I am ashamed to say that my master taught me the Xiantian Pure Yang Palm and was very kind to me, but I didn't get to see him for the last time.

“After hearing the sad news of my master’s passing, I traveled a long way to Qingyang County, initially just to pay my respects to my teacher.

"When I learned that the Beggars' Sect had lost the Lotus Bowl, I thought about doing my best to help, together with Detective Gu, find this Beggars' Sect treasure.

"During this period, I luckily uncovered the conspiracy of the second... well, Protector Yuan, and a war was averted. However, most of the credit goes to Gu Shenpo. I just did a small and insignificant thing.

"As for the position of gang leader, I dare not even think about it. There are many people who are more talented than me in the Beggars' Sect, such as Elder Bai and Deputy Gang Leader Jiang behind me."

Seeing that Ma Lu was so humble and openly stated that he was not as good as the two of them, Bai Baoyu and Deputy Sect Leader Jiang thought that he had given up because of the difficulty.

Just when I was planning to do something to show my magnanimity, I heard Malu suddenly change the subject.

“But the eldest brother told me that the Beggars’ Sect is the largest gang in the world, and they value reputation the most, and they believe in keeping their promises.

“Since we’ve announced that whoever can find the Lotus Bowl will be the leader, if I don’t want to be the leader, it would seem that the Beggars’ Clan doesn’t keep its word. How will people in the world trust beggars like us in the future?

"But I know my own strengths and weaknesses best. I definitely can't be the gang leader, and I don't want to put you in an unjust situation. After thinking about it, there is only one way.

Ma Lu paused and said, "I can be the leader, but only for three months, and then I will step down and pass the position of leader to my eldest brother.

"I have always felt that only a man as righteous and upright as my eldest brother can become the leader of the Beggars' Sect and command hundreds of thousands of Beggars' Sect disciples across the world."

Malu's last words were sincere. After all, he grew up watching Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. The image of Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

After saying this, Malu did not forget to look back at the stunned Bai Baoyu and Deputy Sect Leader Jiang, and winked at them.

Are you stupid? You have never seen a joint campaign?
