Senior brother, stop it, you are the villain!

When the conversation between Qingyangzi and the old man reached an impasse, it was Ye Chen who finally broke the impasse.

I only heard Ye Chen say loudly: "Uncle, Master, my uncle has a somewhat upright temperament, so some of his words are not pleasant. But these words that uncle said are for the good of Taiwei Sect. Uncle, I don't know. Have you noticed that when people in Dongzhou talk about Taiwei Sect now, they only know about Taiwei Sect’s Holy Son but not about Taiwei Sect’s leader? After hearing this, Master Shizu was heartbroken and rushed back to Taiwei Sect? , I also ask the head master, for the sake of my uncle’s sincerity, not to be too attached to those red tapes.”

Qingyangzi frowned slightly when he heard this.

In fact, Qingyangzi wondered whether this old man was his uncle, but he expected that no one would come here out of boredom and pretend to be a senior member of a small sect. But if you say how much this person cares about Taiwei Sect, that's not necessarily true. If he really cared about the future and destiny of Taiwei Sect, he would not have left the sect when Taiwei Sect was in decline and ran out to be a free and easy person.

Nowadays, Taiwei Sect has escaped from the situation of being almost expelled, thanks to the efforts of today's Taiwei Sect disciples, and it has nothing to do with this uncle who has been missing for an unknown number of years. Qingyangzi suddenly ran back at this time, naturally feeling very uncomfortable.

But there was one sentence that Ye Chen hit the point. When people in Dongzhou talk about Taiwei Sect now, they only know about Taiwei Sect's holy son, but not about Taiwei Sect's leader. He, the leader, sounds good to others, but in fact, his reputation is not as good as that of Feng Shao, both externally and internally. What's more, he once said: "If Taiweizong hadn't been lucky enough to pick up this treasure called Feng Shao, Taiweizong would have been gone long ago."

Although what he said was reasonable, Qingyangzi just didn't feel comfortable hearing it.

When Taiwei Sect was still in decline, he only wanted to strengthen the sect. But unfortunately, his ability was limited. Under his leadership, the situation of Taiwei Sect was not better than before, but was getting worse day by day. It was not until Feng Shao became a member of the sect that Taiwei Sect finally came back to life and became a rather famous second-rate sect in Dongzhou.

But after the Taiwei Sect gradually rose to prominence, Qingyangzi became more active. He began to want to rely on the reputation and strength of Taiwei Sect to establish the image of his senior master in Dongzhou, instead of being like a puppet who could only hide behind Feng Shao. But unfortunately, there were many more people in the sect who followed Feng Shaoyan's advice than those who looked at his head's face.

Even his junior brother Qin Zhao and junior sister Du Yuanxi valued Feng Shao more than him, the head senior brother. He even suspected that one day when he got up, someone might ask him to abdicate in favor of someone more powerful, and directly hand over the headship to Feng Shao.

His worries were not groundless, but there were early signs.

Once, he went into the treasure pavilion and wanted to take away a magic weapon. Unexpectedly, the disciple guarding the treasure pavilion said that the matter would be left to Feng Shao to decide. Only when Feng Shao nodded and agreed could he take away the magic weapon. Spiritual weapon.

It was this incident that made Qingyangzi feel extremely uncomfortable. He suspected that perhaps Feng Shao had gradually sidelined him as the head of the sect. Sooner or later, this sect would be completely decided by Feng Shao.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Feng Shao. Feng Shao set this rule mainly to prevent the magic weapons and spiritual weapons in the treasure pavilion from being out of count and being unavailable when needed. Although the disciple guarding the treasure pavilion was a little stubborn, he couldn't blame that disciple, because Feng Shao had said long ago that everyone in the entire sect must abide by the rules, no matter what status they are, no exceptions can be made.

As for the leader being sidelined, it was purely Qingyangzi's fault.

Feng Shao himself was a person who respected teachers and Taoism. He valued Qingyangzi's prestige in Taiwei Sect very much, so when developing the sect in the early days, Feng Shao would deliberately bring his master along with him. Even if Qingyangzi doesn't do anything, he still needs to have a sense of presence.

However, many of Feng Shao's decisions were incomprehensible to Qingyangzi, but they often yielded miraculous results in the end. At the beginning, Qingyangzi would come out to make his presence felt, but when he found that he basically played no role and could not make any decisions, he directly became the hands-off shopkeeper and handed everything over to him. Feng Shao did it.

Feng Shao was opposed to it at first and hoped that Master could participate more in the construction of the sect. He even came close to telling his master that he was not required to do anything, but that he only asked him to keep things under control.

However, Qingyangzi's thoughts are both simple and naive. He felt that since he didn't need to make decisions on many things, he could simply leave it to Feng Shao. Why should he have to take the lead?

So this is the fundamental reason why Qingyangzi was "emptied out". It wasn't Feng Shao who took the initiative to exclude him, but he himself took the initiative to be excluded.

At the beginning, there were disciples asking Qingyangzi for instructions, but Qingyangzi all blamed Feng Shao, and every time he said, "Go and ask your senior brother, the leader," or "Discuss it with your senior brother, the leader." Bar". As time went by, naturally no disciples came to ask him for instructions, and they all went to Feng Shao.

Poor Feng Shao, in order to develop the sect, even delayed his own cultivation time, and all the details of the sect were taken care of by him alone. He really didn't want to bear so much, but he had no choice but to have no one to share his worries, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Fortunately, Taiwei Sect is now gradually getting on the right track, and there is nothing for him to worry about except major matters. But precisely because of this, Qingyangzi became dissatisfied with the fact that she was "being ignored".

At this time, Ye Chen mentioned this matter, which hit Qingyangzi's weakness.

Now Taiwei Sect has become Feng Shao's one-man show, even Qin Zhao and Du Yuanxi support Feng Shao unconditionally. As the head of the sect, he can no longer manage the sect's affairs. Even if he tells his disciples to do something, those disciples will go to Feng Shao first and do things only after asking for instructions and getting permission. So now Qingyangzi urgently needs someone to support him in the sect, at least to be able to compete with Qin Zhao and Du Yuanxi.

And the sudden appearance of this uncle may be an opportunity.

Although this uncle has not made any contribution to the sect, his seniority is there after all. All sects attach great importance to seniority, so although this uncle has no sense of existence in the sect, as long as he sits there, no one can ignore him. And Qingyangzi feels that if he can unite with this uncle, he may be able to solve the dilemma he is facing.

During this period of time, Qingyangzi thought a lot and figured out a lot of things. After thinking about his goal, his expression suddenly became amiable. He said to the old man with a smile: "Although Master Uncle has not been in the sect for a long time, he is still a member of our Taiwei Sect after all. Today, Master Uncle can return to Taiwei Sect, and I am very happy as the head of the sect. I was a little rude to Master Uncle just now, I hope Master Uncle will not blame me."

The old man did not expect that Ye Chen's casual words would change Qing Yangzi's attitude immediately, and he could not help but appreciate Ye Chen a little more in his heart.

After receiving Qing Yangzi's recognition, the old man snorted coldly and said in a muffled voice: "Now you don't suspect that I am a fake?"

Qing Yangzi laughed and said: "Uncle Master, what are you talking about! After all, Uncle Master has not returned to the sect for many years. It is reasonable that I can't recognize Uncle Master for a while, right? But in my heart, I have been thinking about Uncle Master all the time these years!"

The old man wanted to say something, but saw Ye Chen winking at him, so he had to swallow back what he wanted to say, and said lightly: "Forget it, as the head of the sect, you should consider things more carefully after all. Please tell me more about this. I won't bother with you about this matter. I came back to the sect this time for only one thing. "

Qing Yangzi pretended to be puzzled and asked: "I wonder why Master Uncle came?"

Then the old man patted Ye Chen on the shoulder and said: "This kid is very suitable for my stomach and has good qualifications. If he can take the position of the Holy Son of Taiwei Sect, he will surely be able to lead Taiwei Sect to a further step. As for your eldest disciple, I have also heard that this person likes to show off his achievements. If he leads Taiwei Sect, I am afraid that Taiwei Sect will go downhill sooner or later."

Qing Yangzi glanced at Ye Chen and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Good guy, this kid is still thinking about the position of the Holy Son!

In fact, if we don't talk about the matter of "being sidelined", Qing Yangzi still recognizes Feng Shao's ability. After all, Taiwei Sect is now thriving, relying on Feng Shao's efforts over the years. But Master Uncle said that Feng Shao likes to show off his achievements and wants to let a person who has never contributed to the sect be the Holy Son. What's the reason?

Qingyangzi said calmly: "Uncle Master, you don't know that Feng Shao has made great contributions to the sect over the years, and his position as the Holy Son is also popular. If the candidate for the Holy Son is changed based on just one word from Uncle Master, I'm afraid that many people in the sect will object to this."

The old man slammed the table and said angrily: "What kind of talk is this! As the head of the sect, who you want to be the Holy Son is not a matter of your words? As for other people's opinions, why should I care about them?"

Ye Chen said at this time: "Uncle Master, in fact, I don't covet the position of the Holy Son, but when I went down the mountain to travel, I often heard others mention how powerful the Holy Sons of other sects are. And the Holy Son of my Taiwei Sect is far inferior to them. Although Senior Brother Feng has made great contributions to the sect, when outsiders mention the Holy Son of our sect, they often mention Senior Brother Feng's realm rather than his contribution."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen showed a look of shame on his face, as if Feng Shao's realm was too low and he lost face.

Qing Yangzi looked at Ye Chen's pretentious look and sneered in his heart. He clearly wanted the position of the Holy Son again and again, but he could still flatter his face and say that he "has no desire for the position of the Holy Son". It was simply ridiculous.

Thinking of this, Qing Yangzi asked Ye Chen with a smile: "Nephew Ye, I wonder what you think about this?"

Ye Chen said calmly: "In my humble opinion, the position of the Holy Son must be held by the best person in the sect, so that the prestige of our Taiwei Sect can be greatly enhanced. As for the disciples who have made contributions to the sect, they can be granted the position of elders or deacons, so that they can complement each other."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, before Qing Yangzi could speak, the old man had already stroked his beard and smiled: "Not bad, not bad, worthy of the person I like, and thoughtful!"

Qing Yangzi's mouth twitched slightly.

These two people are really so weird!
