When he saw the head disciple and the elders of the Sixth Hall sitting in his seat, Ning Shaoyang suddenly had some realizations and had a more intuitive understanding of the status of these elders.

At the same time, he also discovered a problem - choosing which side to sit on seems to be a very important thing.

The elders sitting on Xu Changkong's side were all people Zhuge Mingzhu had never greeted.

The elders sitting on Qiu Yong's side were all people who had given him gifts.

Suddenly, he realized something belatedly - this was a powerful team in the sect, and his master, Zhuge Mingzhu, was with Qiu Yong.

But after counting, I felt a little worried.

There are only two elders who support Qiu Yong.

But standing on Xu Changkong's side were three elders.

It seems that Qiu Yong's position as the future leader is a bit unstable. Even if he becomes the leader, he may not have much power.

The support of an elder from the Treasure Hall and an elder from the Sutra Hall cannot help the leader gain the power to control a sect.

Now that the leader is here, he can help Qiu Yong overcome Xu Changkong.

If one day the leader is gone and Qiu Yong becomes the leader himself, how will he fight with the Xu Changkong camp where the four elders are united?

Thinking of this, he glanced at Zhuge Mingzhu and suddenly had some understanding - why Qiu Yongdang, a monk in the late stage of returning to the void and the future leader of the sect, was so enthusiastic about Zhuge Mingzhu, a monk of Nascent Soul Dzogchen.

.

Because Zhuge Mingzhu possesses a sword energy that can kill any monk below the immortal level.

Zhuge Mingzhu is on Qiu Yong's side. Even if the leader is gone, he can still help Qiu Yong secure his position with his sword energy.

If things come to a head, she can use that sword energy to destroy the most powerful person in the opponent's camp.

In this way, Qiu Yong's strength can have a slight advantage.

Understanding this truth, Ning Shaoyang also understood why Zhuge Mingzhu could greet everyone else in the main hall, but did not greet the elders on that side.

She needs to show to Xu Changkong's side that she supports Qiu Yong, and she also needs to show to Qiu Yong's side that she and Xu Changkong's side are incompatible with each other.

Only when her stance becomes firm will other people in the sect have the confidence to follow Qiu Yong.

Otherwise, how many people would safely follow a leader who cannot control his sect?

Some of Zhuge Mingzhu's behaviors that seemed unreasonable to him before seemed to have a reasonable explanation.

Coming here to congratulate the leader on his birthday, although it delayed his cultivation time for a day, he felt that he had gained a lot.

——Not only did he gain those magic weapons and spiritual weapons, but he also vaguely understood the power struggle among the top leaders of this sect.

Of course, this is just his own speculation, and he is not sure whether this is the case.

Apart from the seats of elders and heads, the rest of the positions are more casual.

However, there are certain rules in this randomness. For example, those close to the seats of the headmaster and elders are all people at the peak of divine transformation.

But it gets messy at the back.

Ning Shaoyang sat on the right hand side of Zhuge Mingzhu. Their positions were in the south near the palace gate, which was far away from the master. It could almost be said to be the farthest position from the master.

However, this is more in line with Zhuge Mingzhu’s identity as a Nascent Soul Dzogchen monk.

She is also a monk in the Nascent Soul realm in the temple.

Either you go up to a person in the late stage of divine transformation or even a higher level, or you go down to a junior in the golden elixir level or even the foundation building level.

The Nascent Soul realm is hers, the only one.

Not long after Ning Shaoyang sat down, he suddenly smelled a faint aroma. He turned his head and saw a girl who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old walking to the seat next to him.

That girl is quite pretty.

She wears a double bun on her head, which is also tied with green and red ribbons. She has bangs and big eyes, which makes her look very smart.

Wearing a light cyan shirt on the upper body, a purple vest on the outside, and a green floral skirt on the lower body.

The waist is tied a bit high and the legs look very long.

Seeing that girl, Ning Shaoyang could only use one word to describe it - beauty!

Although he felt that this young girl could not compare to his master's peerless appearance, she did not have the arrogance of his master that was difficult to deal with, and she had a more friendly feeling.

When the girl saw Ning Shaoyang looking over, her face was filled with a cute smile and she said, "Senior brother, do you mind if I sit next to you?"

"Forehead……"

Ning Shaoyang was stunned for a moment and thought to himself - this seat is not mine, you can sit down if you want.

Although he is over thirty years old, he has been practicing in Mingxin Pavilion for nineteen years, and the only one who can be regarded as a friend is Yan Liang, who sends him to the Treasure Hall to collect spiritual stones once a month.

It's rare to see Master once, let alone anyone else.

Pushing forward three years, after leaving the City Lord's Mansion, no one was willing to talk to the mother and son, and he had always been lonely.

When he had friends, that is, when his father was still the city lord, before he was thirteen years old.

When I grow up, I am lonely, always lonely.

He was so lonely that he didn't even know how to communicate with others, and was even a little afraid of communicating with others.

This girl just said a simple word to him, but he didn't know how to respond appropriately.

At the same time, his face turned red.

Zhuge Mingzhu coughed slightly and said to the girl: "You can sit wherever you want here, without anyone else's consent."

Ning Shaoyang nodded and said, "Yes."

The girl smiled, sat on the seat next to Ning Shaoyang, and said, "Then I'm not welcome."

There is no gap between each seat, they are basically next to each other.

After the girl sat over, Ning Shaoyang felt that the aroma became stronger.

The aroma was nice, but it made him very uncomfortable.

Because that fragrance comes from that girl.

After the girl sat down, she looked sideways at him and said with a smile:

"My name is Xu Zhen, and I came here with my ancestor. Senior brother, what's your name? I don't think I've seen you before."

Hearing that this girl's surname was Xu, Ning Shaoyang suddenly had an impression of her - she seemed to be one of the juniors who came with Xu Xiao, the elder of the Weapon Refining Hall.

But I didn't take a closer look at that time. I just thought there seemed to be a girl wearing such clothes, but I didn't see what she looked like.

I think it's that one.

But, didn’t Xu Xiao have a bad relationship with his master?

Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Zhuge Mingzhu again, wondering whether he should pay attention to this "hostile force" girl.

Zhuge Mingzhu put his hand on his forehead, glanced at him, and said helplessly to Xu Zhen:
Chapter completed!
