The valley is full of rare and exotic flowers, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
At this moment, there is a beautiful woman walking among the flowers, holding a pair of delicate scissors in her hand, gently trimming off the excess branches from the flowers.
At this moment, Li Zai'en rushed into the valley.
The woman was a little unhappy: "Elder Li Zai'en, is there a time when you can't go to Fushui Hall to talk? Don't you know that this is my residence and no one is allowed to come in?"
The woman raised her head, revealing her beautiful face.
This woman is clearly the current leader of the Tianshui Sect.
Li Zai'en lowered his head, raised his hands and said, "Sect Master, the matter is urgent. Please forgive me for being rude."
The sect leader took the trouble to ask: "What's the matter? Tell me."
Li Zai'en explained in detail what happened on Shuixin Island: "Under the coercion and inducement of the great elder, Lin Bai has agreed to go to the ancient secret realm to collect medicine."
The sect leader's face turned completely gloomy, and he said coldly: "Li Yuanzong is too lawless. He feels that Lin Bai has stolen his limelight, so he wants to use this method to retaliate against Lin Bai? How clumsy!"
Li Zai'en asked: "Sect Master, the great elder obviously has some intentions towards Lin Bai, are we..."
The sect master said helplessly: "No matter how stubborn Li Yuanzong is, he is the direct disciple of the great elder, and he was brought up by the great elder. He has thousands of years of love. Even if you raise a dog, you can still have feelings for him, right?
Let alone a person."
"Lin Bai made such a big fuss on Shuixin Island and almost killed Li Yuanzong. It is reasonable for the elder to be angry."
"Fortunately, he didn't kill Lin Bai in a rage!"
Li Zai'en hesitated again and again and asked: "Do you think the patriarch will help Li Yuanzong secretly deal with Lin Bai because of the quarrel between Li Yuanzong and Lin Bai?"
The sect leader shook his head and said: "No, there is no need to question the great elder's loyalty to the sect. I believe he knows better than all of us that Lin Bai is the most suitable person to become the holy son of Tianshui Sect, so even if Lin Bai is in Shuixin
Li Yuanzong was almost killed on the island, but he didn't directly force Lin Bai to die."
"But let Lin Bai go to the ancient secret realm!"
"Lin Bai's trip to the ancient secret realm should actually be regarded as a kind of experience."
"It is the experience given to Lin Bai by the sect, and it is also the experience given to Lin Bai by the great elder."
The sect leader bent down to remove the excess branches from the branches and said lightly.
Li Zai'en was stunned for a moment, and frowned: "I don't know what you mean? The sect master actually said that the elder was helping Lin Bai?"
The sect leader said: "Tianshui Sect and Tiandi Sect are already on the same level, and there will be a battle sooner or later. As the Holy Son of Tianshui Sect, he must be responsible for the sect in the future, and he must be able to withstand the means and pressure of Tiandi Sect."
"This trip to the ancient secret realm undoubtedly brought Lin Bai and Li Yuanzong into contact with the forces of the Heaven and Earth Sect in advance."
"If Lin Bai fights against the Heaven and Earth Sect in the ancient secret realm and wins a complete victory, he will be able to gain a foothold within the sect and demonstrate the rise of the Tianshui Sect to the outside world."
"If Lin Bai unfortunately fell into the ancient secret realm, it would prove that Lin Bai did not have the strength to become the Holy Son, and there would be nothing to say."
Li Yuanzong nodded in understanding.
But he thought about it seriously and said: "But I am still worried that the relationship between the great elder and Li Yuanzong will make the great elder take action against Lin Bai."
"Sect Master, after all, Lin Bai is one of the candidates for the Holy Son determined by the senior leaders of the sect!"
The sect leader took a deep breath, put down the scissors, and his eyes sparkled.
"I will discuss this matter with the Great Elder."
After hearing the sect master's words, Li Zai'en felt relieved and stood up to leave.
…
Half an hour later.
Tianshui Sect, Fushui Palace.
The sect master put on a dignified and elegant robe and sat on the main seat.
In the empty Fushui Palace, suddenly the great elder appeared in the palace.
"I have met the sect master!" The great elder bowed.
The sect master said: "I already know what happened on Shuixin Island. Li Yuanzong was at fault, and he can't blame Lin Bai for being so angry."
The Great Elder took a deep breath and sighed: "I understand."
The sect leader said: "Elder Li Zai'en has gone to see me. He is worried that you will secretly strangle Lin Bai because of Li Yuanzong's relationship with you, and let me beat you."
The First Elder gave a bitter smile and said: "Sect Master, please rest assured, I can be considered a person who has lived for thousands of years, and I am the First Elder of the Sect. I cannot do such despicable acts. Besides, if Lin Bai is loyal to the Sect,
, his becoming the Holy Son will naturally be of great benefit to the sect."
"In the face of major issues of right and wrong, I will firmly stand on the side of the sect."
"After all, I am the great elder of Tianshui Sect! The head of the elders of Tianshui Sect!"
The sect leader nodded with satisfaction and asked: "Lin Bai is going to the ancient secret realm, and he also made harsh words to deal with Li Yuanzong. What are your plans?"
The great elder said: "I have asked my third disciple to come out of seclusion. He will follow Li Yuanzong to the ancient secret realm. Firstly, to protect Li Yuanzong's safety in the secret realm; secondly, let him keep an eye on Li Yuanzong and prevent Li Yuanzong from doing anything again.
Go find trouble with Lin Bai."
The sect leader raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Your third disciple? Mu Huaqing is about to leave seclusion? Has he ever broken through Taiyi?"
The Great Elder sighed bitterly and shook his head: "I have been in seclusion for many years, and I have consumed a lot of immortal jade, but there is still some lack of heat."
The sect master said: "When the Taoist god enters Taiyi, there is a gap. Not only does it require the assistance of a large amount of immortal jade and rare treasures, but one's own practice is also indispensable."
"Warn Mu Huaqing, don't be hasty when making a breakthrough, for being hasty will lead to chaos."
The great elder said gratefully: "Thank you, sect master, for reminding me. I will tell Mu Huaqing."
The sect leader leaned on the seat and sighed: "The sect has drafted six candidates for the Holy Son, and Lin Bai is the sixth."
"At the moment, it seems that Li Yuanzong is arrogant and not suitable for him."
"Lin Bai, although he has good cultivation, he has not been a member of the sect for a long time. He has no sense of belonging to the sect, and he is not suitable to become a saint son for the time being."
"I'm afraid this position of the Holy Son will remain vacant for some time."
The Great Elder nodded slowly and said: "Fortunately, the sect master is young and has no worries about his longevity or worries. The sect will not have to rush to determine the position of the Holy Son for hundreds of years."
The sect master smiled and said: "If we decide on a holy son as soon as possible and share our worries, we will have a lot of leisure, right?"
The great elder smiled and nodded.
Suddenly, the great elder thought of something and said: "The old Taoist from the Heaven and Earth Sect appeared on the Water Mirror Sea. It can basically be confirmed that the Dragon Clan has turned to the Heaven and Earth Sect and has become a pawn of the Heaven and Earth Sect."
"The three major pirates and the three major monster clans on the Shui Jing Sea are all more or less related to the Heaven and Earth Sect."
"Even the families in Storm City seem to think that Tianshui Sect will decline sooner or later, and they already want to join Tiandi Sect."
"Sect Master, I predict that there will definitely be a war on the Shuijing Sea in as little as ten years or as long as a hundred years!"
"We still need to prepare early."
The great elder said meaningfully.
After hearing this, the sect leader sighed helplessly: "This day is coming after all, and this battle will determine the life and death of Tianshui Sect!"
