Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 83 The Sect Is The Public, Great Dao Is Selfless Chen Chang'an!

Chapter 83: The Sect is for the Public, the Great Dao is Selfless, Chen Chang'an!

After the four guidelines were announced, Chen Chang'an and the others were finally able to go back to their respective places.

On the way, a faint smile appeared on the corners of Chen Chang'an's mouth.

"Senior brother, why are you smiling? Is there something good that makes you happy?" Mao Ruxue asked curiously.

"Nothing," Chen Chang'an shook his head.

"Just thinking about some happy things that can't be mentioned."

"Oh, I see," Mao Ruxue stopped asking.

Seeing that Mao Ruxue didn't ask anymore, Chen Chang'an's mind once again immersed in happiness.

Indeed, this was something worth celebrating.

After all, according to the plan, he would be retiring in a hundred years.

By then, Chen Chang'an didn't want Heavenly Water Sect to still be the same mediocre sect.

Otherwise, he would probably have to come back to clean up the mess again.

And if the development of Heavenly Water Sect continued at its current pace, it would probably still be in this sorry state even after a thousand years.

To become strong, one must seek change!

The current four guidelines, especially the first and fourth, undoubtedly provided the best opportunity for change!

Previously, Heavenly Water Sect was too lazy. From the Sect Master Li Daoran to the ordinary disciples, most of them were just lazy and complacent.

The elders were lazy, the disciples were lazy, and the cohesion of the sect was weak.

With such a sect, there would be no significant progress.

But now, after the pressure exerted by Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the entire sect immediately became tense.

With tension comes motivation.

Now, under the constraints of the four guidelines, regardless of age or gender, everyone was mobilized.

In this situation, if Heavenly Water Sect wanted to soar, it wouldn't be a problem.

Of course, the premise was that the so-called external pressure wouldn't become overwhelming.

But was there a need to worry about this problem?

Chen Chang'an shook his head slightly, remaining silent.

After a while, they arrived at Hidden Dao Mountain.

After leaving Mao Ruxue in the main hall and giving some instructions, Chen Chang'an returned to the Sutra Pavilion.

Having lived here for ten years, this place had become his standard accommodation.

From now on, Chen Chang'an's life returned to normal.

As soon as he returned, he lay on the recliner in the courtyard and casually took out a book to read.

At the same time, Chen Chang'an was carefree.

However, in a side hall of the main hall of Heavenly Water Sect, Li Daoran, the Supreme Elder Li Xuandao, the Master of the Merit Hall Bai Yunzi, and Xuanqingzi were gathered together.

Except for Xuanqingzi, the other three had serious expressions.

"Master, Elder, did you call me for something?" Xuanqingzi felt a sense of unease when she saw the atmosphere in the hall.

Li Daoran had a solemn expression as he asked, "Senior Brother Xuanqingzi, can I ask you something?"

"Is Chang'an really okay?"

"Huh? Is something wrong with Chang'an? Chang'an is fine, why would there be any problem? Master, don't scare me," Xuanqingzi replied, puzzled.

Hearing Li Daoran's words, Xuanqingzi was stunned, then pretended to be relaxed and waved her hand.

"Senior brother, this is important. I'm not joking with you."

"I know you're afraid that we'll worry, but please tell us the truth."

However, Li Daoran insisted.

"Um."

Seeing the serious expressions of Li Daoran and the others, Xuanqingzi fell silent.

He understood that Li Daoran and the others probably guessed something.

Immediately, Xuanqingzi sighed deeply.

"It seems that you have also figured it out."

"Sigh, I was planning to keep this a secret."

"But since you've already figured it out, I'll tell you."

"But before I do, you have to promise me one condition."

At this point, Xuanqingzi became mysterious for some reason.

He looked around before saying, "You can't tell anyone about this."

"If you agree to this condition, I'll tell you. Otherwise, I won't say it."

"Because I promised Chen Junior Brother not to spread it."

After speaking, Xuanqingzi looked at Li Daoran and the other three, waiting for their answer.

Li Daoran, on the other hand, said without hesitation, "Senior Brother, rest assured, I, Li Daoran, have always been good at keeping secrets."

"Once a secret enters my ears, it will never come out again!"

"I agree to this."

"So do I."

"Me too."

Not only Li Daoran, but the Supreme Elder Li Xuandao and Bai Yunzi also nodded quickly.

Keeping secrets was something they had.

"Good, since that's the case, let me tell you," Xuanqingzi said after seeing the three of them nodding.

Seeing that all three had agreed, Xuanqingzi's burden was lifted.

Then, he recounted the incident of encountering Chen Chang'an on the ship, where Chen Chang'an "coughed up blood" and even spoke of his willingness to die. He described the whole process in detail.

"Master, Elder, this is how Chen Junior Brother is suffering!"

Half an hour later, Xuanqingzi finished speaking the last sentence.

After finishing, he looked at the three of them with a distressed expression.

At this moment, he was already crying, unable to speak.

But in the face of Xuanqingzi's words, Li Daoran and the others did not respond.

Because at this moment, the three of them were completely stunned.

In their minds, they couldn't help but envision such a scene.

As the sun set in the west, within a flying boat nearing the setting sun, there was a pale young man half-supporting his body that was about to collapse.

Facing the old man who cared for him by his side, although he was already bleeding profusely, his gaze was exceptionally clear.

Not only that, everything seemed to have been personally experienced, and the young man's voice echoed in the ears of the three.

"When the king dies, the state perishes; when the gentleman guards the country's gate."

"Soldiers buried on the battlefield, daughters sacrificed for the nation, the land that our ancestors fought for with their lives."

"Naturally, it is up to us, the younger generation, to guard it."

"..."

"I grew up on the mountain since I was young, and the sect is also my home."

"Guarding the ancestral land left behind by our ancestors is naturally my responsibility as well."

"So, senior brother, this has nothing to do with you, it's just my own choice."

"..."

"Senior brother, our Heavenly Water Sect is weak, so I can only do this."

"If we don't scare them off at once, there will be more trouble waiting for us in the future."

"So, I can only do this."

"Look, isn't the current situation good?"

"They were scared off by me and won't dare to come again."

"..."

"Senior brother, please promise me one thing."

"Promise me, don't tell the other disciples about this."

"Especially Shi Xue."

"I don't want them to see me in such a miserable state."

"..."

"Can't even tell the sect leader?"

"Don't tell him, I'm already a defeated person. If I die, just bury me anywhere, there's no need to make a fuss and trouble so many people."

"..."

Then, the young man suddenly shouted.

The weariness on his face disappeared completely, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to the appearance of a graceful young man as seen by the world.

"Senior brother, look, I'm fine now, right?"

"..."

In their minds, scenes of the young man kept replaying, over and over again.

Li Daoran and the other two fell silent.

They also thought of more than thirty years ago, when Yang Han, the old mountain master, brought back a naked child from the mountain.

"Senior brother, aren't you going down the mountain to accept disciples? Why did you bring back a baby?"

"Junior brother, come, come and take a look, this is Chang'an, the name I gave him."

"Long and lasting, peaceful and safe, in this lifetime, I hope he can always be peaceful and safe."

"..."

"Chen Chang'an, put that fish down quickly, it's not edible."

"Chen Chang'an, your innate six senses are missing, I'm afraid you can only be a fool for the rest of your life."

"Hehehe~!"

"Chen Chang'an, I ask you, are you willing to become my disciple of Hidden Dao Mountain and inherit my mantle?"

"Hehehe, Master is good~!"

"Chen Chang'an, by order, Elder Yang Han passed away seven days ago. From now on, you are the 38th generation mountain master of Hidden Dao Mountain!"

"If you are unwilling to accept this position of mountain master, then the name Hidden Dao Mountain will be erased. I ask you, are you willing to inherit Elder Yang Han's mantle?"

"Willing, hehehe, Chang'an will help Master guard the home!"

"..."

"Chen Chang'an, you have a penchant for playing, regardless of size, and have repeatedly violated the sect's rules, but you haven't learned your lesson."

"Now I sentence you to a lifetime of facing the wall in the Sutra Pavilion behind Hidden Dao Mountain. You are not allowed to leave without permission, do you accept?"

"Disciple, I accept!"

Memories flashed by like a galloping horse.

Li Daoran and the other two couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Everything seemed like yesterday.

No one expected that the foolish child from back then would become what he is now.

For the sect, for the Great Dao, selflessness!

"Senior brother, Chang'an junior brother, we are not as good as him."

In the end, it was Bai Yunzi who spoke first.

There was also a touch of sadness in the corner of his eyes, not much different from Xuan Qingzi.

"Indeed, we are not as good as him."

Li Daoran also shook his head and sighed.

He had already guessed that Chen Chang'an's journey this time and his battle with Tian Yuanzi would definitely come at a cost.
