Facing Sect Master Cao's praise, Xiao Wen said openly and honestly: "Your junior is just a stupid bird flying first. If others spend all their time on cultivation like me, they will only go further than the younger generation." .”

Zongzhu Cao smiled and said: "You are not stupid at all, and you are more sober than anyone else. You may not know that what you said to my Zong's two juniors yesterday, after they came back, they all recounted it verbatim in public. Come out, do you know how everyone reacted?"

Seeing that Sect Master Cao looked at him seriously, and really wanted to get his answer, Xiao Wen recalled the scene at that time again.When he boldly said those words at that time, although the elders of the Xiyi Sword Sect did not refute, they still held their breath.However, the reactions of those young people were quite interesting. At that time, a considerable number of people gradually calmed down and thought about his words seriously. Some even nodded secretly!

Young people are the most innocent. They think about problems very simply. This may be harmful, but it can often get to the point!

What is black is black, what is white is white, what else is there to say?All explanations are justifications and excuses, which cannot change the facts at all!

In the same way, if you lose, you lose, and if you are inferior, you are inferior to others. So what if you drop one place according to the well-known rules?Isn't it still the top five of 27 cases?After ten years of hard work and courage, it is enough to return to the fourth place generously after ten years. Why do you have to use improper means to keep this fourth place?

Those young people from the Xiyi Sword Sect were not all blinded by fame, in fact, they all thought about this issue to some extent.only.A sect must be twisted into one rope, so they can only follow what the superiors do.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wen already knew the answer, and said with a wry smile: "Is it true that many young people are silent and just lowered their heads?"

Sect Master Cao laughed, and it took a while to stop, Fang said: "If you don't know, you can't come to peek. I really suspect that you were hiding on the wall of our station at that time. Yes, there were many people at that time. Young people all react that way, and some old guys also show contemplation."

Xiao Wen saw that Sect Master Cao said it was easy.It seems that there is no entanglement in his heart, and he can't help secretly admiring that the suzerain's mind is different.

At this time, Sect Master Cao said again: "Your words really awakened people in their dreams. We old fellows are becoming less and less simple in thinking about problems. When we encounter difficulties, we often think about how to solve them in a curve. Instead of dealing with it head-on. Young people may feel that it is very cheap, and I would also feel very cheap when I was young. But you must not know that this is actually a common phenomenon. For young people, this should be It's a very sad thing."

"The fact is that when you want to solve the problem head-on, almost everyone is secretly plotting and tricking. They will not confront you in a proper way. If you stab your face with a sword, we can hide and block it no matter how fierce it is, so ah , only in terms of power. Such a sword is not as good as a black brick knocked from behind, can you understand? It’s not that we don’t want to solve the problem head-on, but that everyone doesn’t solve the problem head-on. You can let go of the grudges in your heart and stumble secretly like them. Only in this way will you have a chance to defeat them."

"I'm used to it, I'm used to it, I can't shake it off, even if I have the ability to solve the problem head-on, the first reaction is still to come secretly, hoping to spend less effort. If it succeeds, I can't help but feel complacent and prove myself In addition to being talented in practice, there is also talent in strategy. Power and power are the most corrosive to people's hearts. After sitting in a high position for a long time, how many people can still remember the original ideal? Monks are our first identity Ah, what we should fight for most is realm and supernatural powers, so as to ascend as soon as possible, where is power, reputation, and material things!"

"As far as this elite competition is concerned, you have already accumulated a large enough advantage before the group arena. The difference of more than 50 points is rare in the history of the entire elite competition, and you guys The three of them are indeed based on their own strength. It would be really unimaginable if they could not succeed in the position. From then on, no matter what methods my sect envoys, even if I finally keep the fourth place, it will be a bad reputation. I’m sure we won’t be able to escape. Anyone with a bit of a brain can guess that we must have resorted to some secret means to keep this position.”

"Fifth is actually not bad, so it's okay not to have such a dishonorable fourth. But at the beginning, including me, several high-level sects didn't think about it this way. We just habitually wanted to use it. Means to keep that fourth place. We didn’t really wake up until we heard your most simple and straightforward words yesterday. In fact, what we are doing is exactly what we once hated.”

Hearing this, Xiao Wen couldn't help being startled, thinking what's going on?

At this time, Sect Master Cao smiled wryly, and said generously: "You don't think that our Xiyi Sword Sect has been ranked fourth among the 27 sects from the very beginning? My sect is the same as your Ming Sword Sect. I climbed up outside the name. Although I have never experienced it personally, the sect's classics have recorded the events of the year in detail. Every time the sect's status is promoted, it is so exciting, but the price paid is also staggering. Our original There is no need to pay such a high price, it is precisely because someone obstructs it by improper means that makes every promotion of ours so difficult."

"Every disciple will be assigned to learn these contents when he first started. When he reads the things that really happened, he will be filled with righteous indignation, because he has no way to pay homage to the heroic spirits of those who died because of this. They could not die... But this time, Just before last night, our Xiyi Sword Sect has been doing the things we once hated without realizing it. If you, Qi Yanbin, and Yang Rong die, or your Ming Sword Sect If nothing else happened that affected this elite competition, then your Ming Sword Sect's sect's development history will definitely write down the notoriety of our Xiyi Sword Sect, and sue us like we sue others."

"After this incident, I suddenly realized that under the leadership of us old guys, the entire Xiyi Sword Sect has long been full of corruption, and no longer has the determination to forge ahead. After going back this time, I will Pass on to my five disciples, and try to replace each vein with fresh blood, ten years later, or 20 years later, our Xiyi Sword Sect should be able to kill again!"

Xiao Wen was completely stunned. Is this true or not? Just because of what he said, is this Sect Master Cao going to step aside?This kind of impact is too outrageous, it feels like a child poked a green mountain with his finger, and the mountain fell down...

At this time, Sect Master Cao laughed again, looked at Xiao and asked: "Don't overestimate your role, in fact, these problems have already existed, and you are just an inducement that made me realize these problems. .The most critical thing is these problems themselves.”

"That disciple is really terrified, I really can't bear this responsibility." Xiao Wen said hastily, to be honest, he is a little restless right now.

"No one made you take responsibility. Don't worry, no matter how fast I move after I go back, I will at least not shake the stability of Xiyi Sword Sect. The whole process will last at least one year, and no one will suspect you of."

"That's okay..." Xiao Wenhou said fearfully.

At this moment, Sovereign Cao concentrated his attention and sat up straight. Seeing that posture, he seemed to be about to talk about business: "This time the elite contest, needless to say, your performance is really talented and courageous. However, I have watched every match between Qi Yanbin and Yang Rong, and their supernatural powers are worth talking about. You don't need to explain, just judging from the performance of the two of them, you Ming Jianzong are together. What you did in this matter is very dishonest, so I don’t need to point out what it is?”

"Uh……"

Xiao Wen felt dizzy all of a sudden, what did Sect Master Cao see?If it is implied that Qi and Yang's supernatural powers come from Shenleizong or Wenxinzong, then it is okay, but if it is implied that he concealed the treasure obtained in Feixia Valley, then it will be great...

When this topic came up suddenly, Xiao Wen couldn't hide his expression well, he was still too tender after all...

Sect Master Cao couldn't help laughing, but this old man has recovered the bearing that a sect master should have at this time, he exposed the matter very generously, and said directly: "You Mingjian Sect is not honest, but because of you Questioning people of our sect in public has improved a lot. This kind of courage cannot be learned at all; our Xiyi Sword Sect did play tricks before, and there were some mistakes. Let’s be more generous, we non-competitors will no longer interfere with the sect’s ranking.”

"Ah..." Isn't this what Ming Jianzong was looking forward to all the time, now that Xiao Wen heard the answer with his own ears, he couldn't believe it.

"Not only that, you may not know that, apart from the elite competition, my sect has long been stumbling for Ming Jianzong in the management of various industries in Tianji Immortal Realm and the jurisdiction of Xianji Mansion. In these aspects, Xiyi Jianzong also no longer intentionally oppose Ming Jianzong."

"Uh, I really don't know about this..." Xiao Wen said awkwardly.

"When you go back, tell Zong Wangren that you don't need to express your gratitude to me. It's even more unnecessary for the two families to advance and retreat together. It's just that I, the Xiyi Sword Sect, lost for a while in terms of tolerance, and now I can win back a victory. .”

"Uh……"

"My sect has no intention of getting involved with Ming Jianzong, and the sect's major affairs will come to an end here."

"Okay." Xiao Wen could only nod his head and said, he could see that Sect Master Cao was indeed a little arrogant, maybe even if their Xiyi Sword Sect really dropped to fifth, they would still look down on Ming Sword Sect who was promoted to fourth upper eye...

At this point, should this conversation be over?

Xiao Wen thought about it like this, and just waited for Sect Master Cao to issue the order to expel the guests.

In the end, Sect Master Cao gave him a meaningful look, and then said with a smile: "There is actually another important reason why I came to you today."
