Chapter 169 Contradictions within the Emei faction
Jie Yin Hall, the main hall of the main hall.
Master Wugou looked around at the crowd, looked at an Emei sect elder who was silent, and asked: "Qiyu, you haven't spoken just now, what do you think about this matter?"
Master Qiyu is one of the four elders of the Emei Sect. She has soft facial features and a beautiful appearance, and she usually remains discreet.
But the disciples in the Emei Sect all know that Master Qiyu is the wisest person in the entire sect.
"Master, the Sword Sect Competition is about to begin."
Master Qiyu first bowed respectfully, and then said this sentence.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other three elders changed.
Sword sect competition!
It is a topic that none of the nine major sects of Sword Sect can avoid.
Ever since the Sword Sect was announced a hundred years ago, the Sword Sect Competition has been going on.
Once every ten years, the best disciples of the Sword Sect are competed and awarded the title of 'Sword Master'.
The sword sect competition is not only to observe the strength of the new generation, but also to observe the vitality of a sect.
The fighting power of the new generation largely determines the rise and fall of this sect.
If there is no support, it means that this sect will soon decline.
No one would pay attention to a sect without a successor, especially after the death of the Emei Sect's grandmaster. The Emei Sect lacked the power of a grandmaster and was unknown in the last Sword Sect Competition.
This is the shame of the Emei sect!
It is also a shame to all the disciples of the Emei Sect. It is precisely for this reason that Yan Sanniang's poor swordsmanship and lack of hard training were used as one of the reasons for expelling the Emei Sect.
Of course, it is also an unforgivable crime for Yan Sanniang to enter the forbidden area by mistake.
Several elders, as well as the leader, Master Wu Gu, were all smart people, and they quickly understood Master Qiyu's intention.
Seeing everyone's silence, Master Qiyu looked at Master Yeyu again and said: "Yeyu, let me ask you, if Yan Sanniang can get a place in the Sword Sect Competition, are you willing to ignore the past grudges and let her return?"
Emei?"
"Haha." Master Ye Yu chuckled and responded: "If Yan Sanniang can squeeze into the top ten in the sword sect competition, let alone ignore the past grudges, I will personally apologize to her and teach her "Tai Qing Qigong"
.”
"But... what if she doesn't make it into the top ten?"
Master Qiyu also showed a faint smile and said softly: "Expelled from the Emei Sect, she will never come back forever. If she does something that harms the Emei Sect, you can clean up the family and abolish her martial arts skills."
"Okay, as long as the head master has no objection, this matter is settled." Master Yeyu looked at Wu Gu.
Master Qiyu also looked at the leader Wugou and asked: "Master, do you think this method is feasible?"
Wu Gu looked at the four elders, his eyes flickered, and said softly: "Yes!"
As the head of the sect and the only ninth-level peak of the Emei sect, Wu Gu has been practicing at the Sacrifice Cliff in the back mountain recently, concentrating on practicing, comprehending the artistic conception, and preparing to break through the master, so the affairs of the sect are now left to Master Qiyu for the time being.
Take care of.
However, this time, because Yan Sanniang was expelled from the Emei Sect by Wugou himself, Master Qiyu invited Wugou out to take charge of the overall situation.
After all, Wu Gu is the head of the Emei Sect. There are some matters that Master Qi Yu can handle by herself and then report back.
But there are some things that are better left to the leader to handle.
That's the rule.
It is also a tacit understanding between smart people.
"Okay, then it's settled. Next, a few of us will start to organize a training camp for our disciples, and then select ten disciples within our sect to participate in the Sword Sect Grand Competition. During this period, if there is any grudge, I will not
I hope everyone can put it down and prepare for the battle with all their strength. In this sword sect competition, our Emei sect cannot afford to lose." Master Qiyu looked seriously, looked at the other three people, and said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, it's natural. I don't deal with the situation but the person." Master Yeyu snorted softly and said, "The interests of our sect come first, and any personal grudges should be put aside."
Wu Guan looked uninterested in the conversation between the four of them and silently turned around and left.
After Wugu left, Master Yeyu also walked out of the hall, and said loudly to the hundreds of Emei disciples: "Starting from today, we will prepare for the war with all our strength. In one month, the selection within our sect will begin, and we will select the Sword Sect Grandmaster.
There are only ten places for the disciples of Bi, so you must work hard and not slack off."
Having said this, Master Yeyu glanced at Yan Sanniang, who was at the end of the disciples and beside the wall. Without saying anything, she waved her sleeves and turned to leave.
"It's all gone."
After the disciples dispersed, many disciples that Yan Sanniang wanted to know came up to say hello and asked her about her travels in the past few years.
"Sanniang, what good food did you go out to eat this time? Is there anything fun outside?"
"Yes, yes, tell us, you like to play the most, you must know it."
"It turns out that when you were in the Emei sect, you liked to read the picture books brought by pilgrims. You said that you would be a hero in the future, rob the rich, give to the poor, and do justice. After you went out, did you realize your dream?"
"Tell us about it!"
…
Seeing that they were still enthusiastic, Yan Sanniang also smiled. While saying hello, she recounted her experiences after leaving the Emei Sect. Of course, she also told the story of robbing the rich and giving to the poor, but she did not say that she stole it. She only said that she saw someone.
The rich businessman was unkind because of his wealth, so she took his money and gave it to the poor.
As she told her story, the disciples were fascinated and exclaimed from time to time, looking envious.
Seeing that Yan Sanniang is so popular, some people are not happy.
"snort!"
An inappropriate cold snort sounded beside everyone.
The disciples were slightly startled and looked around, only to see a woman in green clothes looking at Yan Sanniang among the disciples with an unkind expression.
"Ding Aofu, what do you want to do?"
An Emei disciple stood up, stood in front of Yan Sanniang, and asked.
"Humph, Liu Wen, please stop meddling in other people's business."
Ding Aofu frowned coldly, with a sneer on her pretty face, stretched out her hand, waved to Yan Sanniang, and said: "Yan Sanniang, you have been expelled from the Emei Sect and are no longer a disciple of the Emei Sect.
Although you have done a good job in escorting Senior Sister back, you are still an outsider and have no right to call yourself a disciple of the Emei Sect."
"No one can prove the things you said, so who knows whether they are true or false?"
"You are walking alone in the world. I wonder if you have done anything to insult the lintel of the Emei Sect?"
"If so, I, Ding Aofu, will clean up the house today!!"
Hearing this, Liu Wen immediately scolded: "That's nonsense, we know very well what Yan Sanniang is like, so don't you spit on others here!"
"Ding Aofu, now that the Sword Sect Competition is approaching, all disciples must participate in the selection. Didn't you hear what Elder Ye Yu just said?"
Ding Aofu still had that cold and arrogant attitude, and asked: "So what if I heard it?"
"When Yan Sanniang returns, even the elders don't have much. As a disciple, what qualifications do you have to question the decisions of the elders and the head?" Liu Wen had a bad attitude and shouted: "If you are not convinced, you can go
Tell the elders and stop being disgusting here!"
"What did you say?" Ding Aofu was furious immediately. He put his hand directly on the hilt of the sword, looking like he wanted to strike in anger, and stared at Liu Wen.
"What's the matter? Do you want to take action?" Liu Wen glared back without showing any signs of weakness, and put her hand on the hilt of the sword, as if she would attack if they disagreed.
"The selection is coming soon. If you are not afraid of not being able to catch up with the selection! I, Liu Wen, will accompany you through two moves. When the time comes, we will enter the solitary room together. Who is afraid of whom?"
"Okay! Liu Wen, you're doing well." Ding Aofu laughed angrily, nodded repeatedly, let go of the hand covering the hilt of the sword, pointed at Liu Wen and Yan Sanniang, and said word by word: "Liu
Wen, Yan Sanniang, you two wait for me! We will meet Zhenzhang at the selection meeting."
"Huh, I'm afraid you won't succeed!" Liu Wen also retracted her hand and responded with a cold eyebrow.
"Humph!" Ding Aofu threw away his hands and ignored them.
Yan Sanniang looked at Ding Aofu's leaving figure, looked at Liu Wen, and thanked: "Thank you, Liu Wen."
"It's okay, it's just a trivial matter." Liu Wen waved her hand carelessly.
Yan Sanniang's eyes flickered and she asked: "Why...why is she targeting me?"
"Don't worry about her." Liu Wen explained: "This Ding Aofu is just narrow-minded. She feels uncomfortable seeing you in the limelight and wants to step on you. None of the sisters like her."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Yan Sanniang also felt that something was inevitable.
"Well, keep talking, keep talking, what happened next?" Liu Wen continued to ask.
Yan Sanniang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Later...I came to Jiangzhou..."
While the disciples were talking with Yan Sanniang, the three elders in the hall were also talking, discussing the conflict between Liu Wen, Ding Aofu, and Yan Sanniang just now.
"Jingrou, what do you think about this matter?" Master Qiyu asked.
Master Jingrou thought for a while and said: "Ding Aofu is too overbearing. She doesn't get along well with the disciples on weekdays and is unpopular. Moreover, Liu Wen's words have some truth. She is indeed a bit narrow-minded about what happened just now.
Already."
"I will tell Master Ye Yu about this matter and ask her to discipline Ding Aofu properly."
"Yeah." Master Qiyu nodded slightly, looked at Master Hui Lin, and said, "What about you? What do you think?"
"I think Ding Aofu's behavior may have something to do with Master Ye Yu's words and deeds in Taiping." Master Hui Lin said softly.
"Well, by words and deeds, Master Yeyu didn't really like Yan Sanniang at first. When she was expelling Yan Sanniang, she advocated abolishing her meritorious service. However, we begged to save her, so she had no choice but to give up."
"This time Yan Sanniang came back to the Emei Sect, and she was probably unhappy. It is understandable that her disciple wanted to stand up for the master and teach Yan Sanniang a lesson." Master Qiyu said slowly.
"However, this matter is not a big deal. After all, the competition and selection are based on strength. There is nothing to say. I just wonder why the leader at that time questioned the expulsion of Yan Sanniang from the Emei Sect?"
"The leader has always been calm and tolerant, rarely getting angry, but that time, her mood was obviously wrong!"
"There are many doubts about Yan Sanniang's expulsion from the Emei Sect."
"Yes." Master Hui Lin also nodded slightly and said: "This time I will speak up, endorse Yan Sanniang, and bet against Master Ye Yu to force Sanniang to stay. In fact, I plan to test the attitude of the leader.
, but she doesn’t seem to have any emotions..."
"Well, this matter still needs to be investigated slowly. Since Yan Sanniang is back, this matter is not urgent. After the sword sect competition is over, we will solve it slowly." Master Qiyu said.
"Yes, this matter is not urgent. The Sword Sect's martial arts competition involves many things, so it is the most important thing!" Master Hui Lin sighed.
Master Jingrou interjected: "I heard that the reward for the first place this time is a special divine sword called Tianwen. It was accidentally obtained by the owner of Sword Worship Villa. It is a rare divine weapon in the world.
, and I don’t know whose hands this sword will eventually fall into.”
"Ling Yun's cultivation is still a little weak..."??
