The third day came in a blink of an eye.
In the meeting hall of Wuliang Taoist Temple, Chang Wude and Wu Weizi were sitting. At the same time, Yang Jingyi, who was wearing a black Taoist robe, was sitting with her daughter Duan Yingying. Although it had been three days since Duan Wuyu's death, the mother and daughter were still silent.
In the midst of grief, there is no smile on the mother and daughter's faces now, only haggardness and sadness.
Li Zihang and Xu Lingwei, Qi Wu, Feng Yuxiu, and several other disciples such as Xue Xinghe also stood aside. Wan Yunting and Kang Nolan stood beside Chang Wude. The group gathered in the quiet conference hall.
There was only the faint crackling sound of the stove burning charcoal...
However, as Master Gui's thin and curvy figure slowly walked in, Chang Wude, Wu Weizi and Yang Jingyi stood up to greet them, "Uncle Grandmaster, you are here, sit down quickly..."
The supported ghost naturally sat at the main seat in the lobby.
Duan Wuyu passed away. Now in the entire Wuliang Taoist Temple, Master Gui is the highest ranking person, so Chang Wude, Wuweizi and Yang Jingyi all have to follow his arrangements.
Even when Duan Wuyu was alive, he still had to listen to Master Gui on some important matters, such as choosing the new Guanzhu now!
"Everyone, please sit down."
As Master Gui slowly sat down, he also asked Chang Wude and the others to sit down. Then his sharp eyes glanced at Wan Yunting, who was standing next to Chang Wude's left hand. Master Gui said in a sharp voice: "Wu Yu
Now that he's gone, the position of the temple master of our Wuliang Taoist Temple is also vacant. Now, tell us, who should we choose as the new temple master?"
Yang Jingyi said slightly: "Let Junior Brother Chang take over."
Chang Wude waved his hand, shook his head and said: "Sister-in-law, I have been away from the master for too long and am not suitable to take over as the leader of the temple. However, I discussed it with Junior Brother Wuwei a few days ago and decided to let a younger generation of disciples take over."
Yang Jingyi's haggard old face raised her eyes and looked at Chang Wude and Wu Weizi who were sitting in front of her, and said: "But among the disciples of Wuyu's sect, no one is qualified to be the master of the contemplation."
Li Zihang and Qi Wu standing behind her looked at each other slightly, but Xu Lingwei didn't care who would be the future master of the Taoist temple, so she seemed very peaceful.
"Uncle Grandmaster, Sister-in-law, I think Senior Brother Chang's disciple Wan Yunting is suitable!"
Wuweizi looked at Wan Yunting and said to Mr. Gui and Yang Jingyi.
Suddenly the eyes of everyone present were focused on Wan Yunting, who was on the left side of Chang Wude. The disciples Li Zihang and Qi Wu were also surprised.
Yang Jingyi looked at Wan Yunting, she frowned slightly but said nothing.
"Xiao Wan is not only a disciple of Senior Brother Chang, but also the only direct disciple of Senior Brother Xiu Liang. He also inherited the medical skills of our Senior Uncle Ren!"
Wuweizi looked at Yang Jingyi and said to Master Gui: "Whether it is his intelligence or his talent in martial arts, he is the best candidate for the new leader of our Wuliang Taoist Temple!"
"So, I have discussed with Senior Brother Chang and it is most suitable for him to take over the position of the 35th generation Temple Master. Uncle Grandmaster, what do you think?"
Before Master Gui could speak, Yang Jingyi, who was sitting opposite, said: "Junior Brother Chang, Junior Brother Wuwei, although Yun Ting is indeed suitable to be the temple leader, he has never been in our school after all, and he doesn't know much about the Taoist temple, so I chose him.
Responsibility, there is still something wrong!”
Chang Wude and Wuweizi were slightly startled, looked at Yang Jingyi and said, "Sister-in-law, do you have someone to choose?"
Yang Jingyi immediately turned to look at Duan Yingying, who was sitting next to her with her head lowered, and said: "Yingying is the only child of Wu Yu and me, and she grew up in the teacher's school. Although her temper is a bit willful, she is still a human being.
She is still kind, I still think let her come..."
"no!"
Before he could finish his words, Master Gui looked directly at Yang Jingyi with his sharp eyes and said sternly: "For generations, my Wuliang Taoist Temple has never allowed a woman to be elected as the temple leader. Put away those little thoughts of yours."
These words made Yang Jingyi's old face turn pale, she lowered her head and pursed her lips tightly, and her heart was trembling even more...
Chang Wude and Wuweizi also raised their eyebrows slightly, looking at the sister-in-law sitting in front of them, and they also understood what she was thinking.
Let Duan Yingying be the new leader of Wuliang Taoist Temple. Even if she doesn't have the ability, Master Gui will not agree to let a female be the leader.
Wan Yunting, who was standing next to Chang Wude, saw Yang Jingyi trying hard to control her emotions. He actually knew why she was like this, which made Wan Yunting sigh helplessly.
Immediately, Master Gui's eyes moved to Wan Yunting and said, "Then let you take over as the thirty-fifth generation master of our Wuliang Taoist Temple."
Wan Yunting's expression was astonished. Kang Nolan beside him, as well as Xu Lingwei, Li Zihang, Qi Wu and other disciples standing opposite Yang Jingyi also looked at him. Although they were a little surprised, they obviously had no objection.
Chang Wude and Wuweizi nodded. Seeing that Wan Yunting wanted to speak and refuse, Chang Wude stopped him and said, "Yunting, don't shirk this matter. No matter what reasons you find, you must accept it."
Next, even if your master is here, he will agree."
"I…"
Wan Yunting frowned. He really didn't want to inherit the position of the temple master of Wuliang Taoist Temple because he felt that he was not suitable.
"Uncle Grandmaster, it's okay to choose him to take over as the temple master, but I have a condition!"
Suddenly Yang Jingyi raised her head, turned her face and said seriously to Master Gui: "He must marry Yingying as his wife!"
"What?"
Wan Yunting was so shocked by Yang Jingyi's words that he couldn't help but scream.
Even Li Zihang, Qi Wu, Xu Lingwei and Feng Yuxiu looked at the master's wife in surprise. Duan Yingying next to her also widened her eyes. When she reacted, she shouted: "Mom, I don't agree, I don't want to marry
He's such a gangster..."
Seeing that Duan Yingying was so emotionally opposed to marrying him, Wan Yunting said angrily: "You don't want to marry, but I don't want to marry yet. Master, this is impossible. I already have a girlfriend, right?"
Maybe I'll marry your daughter."
But Yang Jingyi had a solemn face, looked directly at Wan Yunting, and said with a very tough attitude: "If you want to take over as the host, you must marry my daughter, otherwise I will firmly oppose it."
"Okay, then I won't answer."
Wan Yunting Qi Dao.
"Damn words."
Chang Wude stood up immediately, turned to glare at him, and said: "This is a matter decided by your ancestors. If you are allowed to say it as a joke, you will object if you object. Besides, aren't your girlfriends in Huadu now also
Are you not married? Just go back and break up with them."
Wan Yunting was so excited by these words that he glared and said, "Old man Chang, what you said is too much..."
"That's it."
Finally, the ghost master spoke up and agreed to this matter.
"If you're not an ancestor, I won't agree..."
Wan Yunting was excited and said to Master Gui urgently: "I can be the master of the temple, but I can never marry her!"
"If you don't marry me, I won't marry you either."
Duan Yingying was pointed at by his big finger and got so angry that she stood up and screamed.
"Yingying, sit down for me."
Yang Jingyi pulled her to sit down, but Duan Yingying shouted excitedly: "Mom, why do you want me to marry him? I will never marry, even if you kill me..."
"you shut up."
Yang Jingyi glared at her angrily and said, "You cannot refuse this matter."
"It's not Master, can't we discuss this matter?"
Wan Yunting stared at Yang Jingyi, not understanding why she insisted on marrying her daughter to him.
"Okay, you can discuss this matter among yourselves."
Master Gui stood up and said to Wan Yunting: "The succession ceremony will be held in three days, so prepare well."
"Uncle Grandmaster, walk slowly..."
Chang Wude and Wuweizi immediately stood up to see him off, and asked Li Zihang to help the ghost master back...
Seeing Uncle Grandmaster leaving, Yang Jingyi also said to Xu Lingwei and others behind her: "You guys go out first."
"Yes, Master Wife..."
Qi Wu and Xu Lingwei went out with Feng Yuxiu, and Wuweizi also asked his disciple Xue Xinghe to go out.
"Nolan, please go out too."
Chang Wude also asked Kang Nolan to go out, knowing that Yang Jingyi had something to say.
In the end, Wan Yunting, Yang Jingyi and her daughter, as well as Chang Wude and Wuweizi, stayed in the conference hall...
"Wan Yunting, if you take over as the temple master, you must marry my daughter."
Yang Jingyi raised her eyes and looked directly at Wan Yunting, her attitude remained firm and she said.
Chang Wude and Wuweizi looked at each other and stopped talking.
After calming down, Wan Yunting understood why Yang Jingyi made the decision to let her daughter marry him, and said seriously: "Master, I know why you ignore your daughter's happiness and insist on forcing us to be together!"
"Actually, you can rest assured. Even if I take over the position of Guanzhu now, I will not stay in the master's sect now. I will go back to fulfill master's last wish and eradicate Sima Boyong."
"So, I would like to ask my master's wife to help me manage the affairs of the master's sect during this period. I wonder if my master's wife is willing?"
When Yang Jingyi heard what he said, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you staying in the school now?"
"Yes."
Wan Yunting nodded and said: "At least in the past few years, I will not be in the master's sect. I am just a nominal temple master. Now, the master's wife still makes the decision on all matters of the master's sect."
"As for asking your daughter to marry me, I really can't agree, and your daughter doesn't agree either, right?"
"yes."
Duan Yingying stared with big eyes, nodded and hummed.
Yang Jingyi stopped talking. In fact, the reason why she made the decision to let her daughter marry Wan Yunting was because she didn't want her mother and daughter to survive in Wuliang Taoist Temple in the future.
After all, Duan Wuyu passed away, and Yang Jingyi was afraid that the new temple leader would take office, which would cause their mother and daughter to lose their status in the Taoist temple.
That's why she decided to let Duan Yingying marry Wan Yunting, the new patron.
Only in this way can our daughter have a better life in the Taoist temple.
But now that she heard that Wan Yunting could not stay in the sect in the past few years, and threatened to let herself manage the affairs of the sect, Yang Jingyi felt shaken. She looked up at Wan Yunting and said: "Let Yingying marry
I will not take back this decision given to you, but I will not force you to marry my daughter now. Let’s wait and see when you come back and truly take over as the leader of the temple.”
In fact, this was also a change of direction to let go of the matter. After hearing what she said, Wan Yunting felt relieved, nodded and said, "Okay, then it's decided."
Yang Jingyi nodded, then asked Duan Yingying to get up and leave.
Wan Yunting watched the mother and daughter leave and couldn't help but sigh. He thought about getting married as soon as possible when he returned to Huadu City, which made Yang Jingyi give up on this idea.
