Seeking Immortality

"There's some objection, isn't there?"

After hearing Mr. Liu's inquiry, Xu Qingfan seemed to understand something and asked slowly.

If everything goes well for Xu Qingfan to enter the decision-making level of the Righteous Alliance, then Mr. Liu and Zhang Hualing will never ask Xu Qingfan what he means. Even if Xu Qingfan is unwilling to enter, they will force Xu Qingfan to enter, because this will not only be of great benefit to Xu Qingfan's future , Xu Qingfan and Zhang Hualing join the decision-making team, and with the addition of Mr. Liu who is pro-Jiuhua, the Jiuhua family will also benefit a lot.

And Xu Qingfan's status in the Righteous Alliance has greatly increased, and his reputation is unprecedentedly high. In terms of strength and influence, he is already above many people in the decision-making level. During this period, there were many rumors that Xu Qingfan would enter the decision-making level of the Righteous Alliance. In fact, Zhang Hualing and Mr. Liu also launched various actions for this purpose, but the reason why Mr. Liu asked this question must be that something went wrong.

The decision-making level of the Righteous Alliance is composed of the heads of various sects and twelve grandmasters. They are the ones who decide and direct the various actions of the Righteous Alliance over the years.

But precisely because of this, the forces of all parties in this decision-making level are extremely balanced, with those who are radical and those who are moderate, those who represent the interests of various sects and those who represent small and medium-sized sects and casual cultivators. Even in Jiuhua, for example, there is even hatred among the decision-makers. The strength of the Jiuhua lineage and those close to the Jiuhua lineage are quite balanced. This is the result of numerous choices and measurements.

Because every decision made by this decision-making level will affect the life and death of many people, the power of many sects has declined, and the various actions of the Righteous Alliance in recent years, the number of dispatches of each team, and the dangerous and safe conditions of various tasks, There are also many aspects that are the result of balancing the forces of various parties.

It is for this reason that when Xu Qingfan, the well-known next head of Jiuhua, enters the decision-making level, it is naturally expected that there will be some opposition.

What's more, to enter the decision-making level of the Righteous Alliance, in addition to factors such as ability, strength, and influence, there is also something called seniority. No matter how much aura Xu Qingfan has, it cannot change the fact that Xu Qingfan has only entered the world of immortality for less than two hundred years.

After hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Zhang Hualing, who had closed his eyes just now, finally opened his eyes. There seemed to be a sneer on the corner of his mouth. It seemed to him that the battle between the Righteous Alliance and the Southern Wilderness monsters was about to happen. The importance is far less than whether Xu Qingfan can enter the decision-making level of the Righteous Alliance. He said calmly: "Yes, there are objections, many people. They don't want you to enter the decision-making level and break the current balance of power in the Righteous Alliance. Moreover, you are moving too fast now, making too many people feel uncomfortable."

Mr. Liu smiled faintly and said: "Then there is that guy Zizhen. Now he is beginning to regret his previous propaganda to you. This time he agreed to give up in the decisive battle between the Righteous Alliance and the Southern Wilderness monsters. You and your people are resting. In addition to considering that you are really tired during this period, I am afraid that the more reason is that I don’t want you to make any further contributions in the decisive battle, so I hide you and gradually reduce your presence in the field. Influence in the Righteous Alliance.”

After hearing these words. Xu Qingfan's brows furrowed even deeper. Asked: "There are many people who are opposed to this kind of thing. I have thought about it. But what I don't understand is. Why would senior Zizhen oppose my entry into the decision-making level. I have had a debt of gratitude to the Qingxu lineage. And Jiuhua and Qingxu We have always been close. Wouldn’t it be beneficial for me to join the decision-making team?”

Zhang Hualing sneered and said: "From this aspect, it is beneficial and harmless to him. But you have one less person to consider."

A wry smile appeared on Xu Qingfan's lips. Asked: "Hua Xian?"

Mr. Liu and Zhang Hualing nodded at the same time.

In a way. The situation in Jiuhua and Qingxu is very similar. All of them had suffered serious losses in strength before the catastrophe. But although most of the losses were from the older generation of elders. The younger generations of both factions have emerged with a lot of new people to contact. Jiuhua has Xu Qingfan, Jin Qinghan, Li Yuhan, Lu Qingshang, and Dongfang Qingling who have become famous in the Righteous Alliance. In Qingxu, there were also Hua Xian, Lu Ziqing, Xu Xiurong, Shang Nianyao, Mo Li and others who refused to give in. I don’t know how many sect leaders have been made jealous by envy.

But that's why. Both factions have pinned their hopes on these young people. We can only rely on these young people. And these two groups of young people. He also unknowingly shouldered the heavy burden of maintaining the reputation of the sect. But there’s only so much honor up for grabs. In addition, they are young and energetic and have a desire to compare. With the same purpose. Young people from the two groups have started various competitions for this reason.

Among them, competition is the most critical and core. It was on Xu Qingfan and Hua Xian.

Both of them were considered the successors of the two factions early on. Being trained by both factions, his strength is among the best among the young monks. Considering that even though Bo Guangyan is called a second-generation disciple, he has actually spent as much time cultivating immortality as a first-generation disciple, the first person of the younger generation in the Righteous Alliance was chosen from these two people.

Originally, Xu Qingfan performed better in leading the mission and was more famous, while Huaxian had higher cultivation and better popularity. The two could only be considered equally matched, but now it is different. Immortal Zizhen personally promoted Xu Qingfan. For the sake of being a rare hero in the Righteous Alliance, Xu Qingfan's reputation has greatly increased, and for some reason, Xu Qingfan has reached the golden elixir stage decades in advance. If Xu Qingfan is allowed to enter the decision-making level of the Righteous Alliance, then Hua Xian will definitely be killed by Xu Qingfan Deadly pressed below.

Originally, because of Xu Qingfan's kindness to Qingxu's lineage, Qingxu has been unable to hold his head high in front of Jiuhua these years. If Qingxu's future leader is suppressed by Xu Qingfan again, then Qingxu's lineage will have no choice but to remain in power. Being suppressed by Jiuhua, Xu Qingfan was allowed to enter the decision-making level. In the long run, the harm to the Qingxu lineage far outweighed the benefits.

That's it. Although everyone is talking about working hard for the common right path, in fact, everyone is talking about Xiao Jiujiu, even Zizhen, the master. Maybe when facing personal matters, Zizhen will have a master He has such a big heart, but before the inheritance of the sect, the grandmaster is constantly making calculations like ordinary people.

After seeing Mr. Liu and Zhang Hualing nodding, Xu Qingfan pondered: "What do the two seniors want me to do?"

Mr. Liu said calmly: "Joining the decision-making team of the Righteous Alliance will be of great benefit to you in the future. When we old guys are gone, you can even lead the world of immortality by virtue of this matter. There is absolutely no room for error."

Zhang Hualing sneered and said: "I, Jiuhua, are too weak at the top of the Righteous Alliance. Over the years, I have been in seclusion all year round because of that incident. In addition, my Jiuhua's recognized strength has plummeted and I can be used as cannon fodder, so it is extremely Dangerous tasks are all done by the Jiuhua team. If you hadn't handled it properly, we would have been reduced to a second-rate sect like the Xuanzhen Sect and the Ancient Sword Sect due to too much losses, so you must enter the decision-making level and represent our Jiuhua sect. Huayan.”

Compared with Mr. Liu who only thinks about Xu Qingfan, Zhang Hualing is more concerned about the gains and losses of the Jiuhua lineage.

But he saw a fox-like smile on Mr. Liu's lips, and said softly: "Since Zizhen gave you such a high reputation before, you can't waste it in vain. So it's time to use your influence. . Those heads and masters are too focused on profit and loss, but they are not affected by your influence at all. In comparison, your influence is more obvious among the middle and low-level monks in the Righteous Alliance, so You must let those who support you take action and let the leaders and masters hear their wishes. "

Xu Qingfan's bitter smile disappeared, but he still nodded and said, "I understand."

Mr. Liu believes that with Xu Qingfan’s ability. For many things, just tell him one principle and he will naturally find a way to deal with it, so he won't say more. Instead, start mentioning the third thing.

"Then there is the third thing. Compared with the first two things, this thing can be big or small. If it is big, it will cause endless troubles. If it is small, it will not have any impact. It depends on how you look at it and deal with it."

Hearing what Mr. Liu said, Xu Qingfan couldn't figure out what it was. He couldn't help but was slightly stunned and asked: "What is it?"

"It's about your niece Ting'er."

Speaking of which. Mr. Liu seemed to feel embarrassed to speak. After hesitating for a moment, he still said: "Actually, this is just your private matter. Logically speaking, I shouldn't interrupt, but according to my observation and that of Head Zhang, Qingfan, don't you Do you think your niece's feelings for you are not like those of an ordinary uncle?"

"How to say?"

Xu Qingfan didn't understand and asked.

After Xu Qingfan left. Mr. Liu and Zhang Hualing were still sitting across from each other at the low table. The tea was cold, but they had no intention of drinking it, and they were silent to each other.

"Do you think today's conversation will have too deep an impact on the child Qingfan? I guess he has never been exposed to so much intrigue before."

After a long time, Mr. Liu asked.

"Maybe, but he will have to go through this sooner or later. And judging from the initial conversation, he is indeed not used to these. Many reactions have too much hypocrisy. It would be better to let him be exposed to these earlier."

Zhang Hualing replied.

After a moment of silence, Mr. Liu suddenly asked: "What about you? How long can you last?"

Zhang Hualing's voice had a hint of a wry smile.

"If I can hold on for a while longer. Why bother teaching him this in such a hurry?"

After a while, Zhang Hualing said again: "The evil spirit is growing too fast. If I persist for another three years, it will be my limit. He must adapt to this as soon as possible."

Mr. Liu let out a faint sigh, which seemed to be regretful, but also seemed to be looking forward to it.

At the same time, Xu Qingfan, who had just come out of Mr. Liu's courtyard, stood blankly outside the courtyard gate with a dull expression. There will always be ups and downs in my life, especially for me. But it is recovering now and the update rate is picking up. Don't be in a hurry.
