As soon as Qin Xuanji said these words, it was like a ladle of water being poured into a hot oil pan, and everyone almost jumped up.
But in front of Patriarch Qingren, no one dared to make any noise. They could only stare at their secretive master with fiery eyes.
Ancestor Qingren was stunned for a moment when he saw Qin Xuanji's wry smile from the bottom of his heart, and then a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
As the only Sanxian Ancestor in the Begging Alliance, as long as he wanted to, how could the entire sect hide anything from him?
It was very clear that Qin Xuanji was in a bad situation in the past few years, and he even had a tacit attitude in his heart. Otherwise, how could Master Jingshui dare to use his name to show off?
For Patriarch Qingren, who stands at the highest position in the Qinghuo League, nothing is more important than the inheritance and stability of the Qinghuo League.
In fact, Master Jingshui is still a little inferior to Qin Xuanji in terms of temperament and talent. However, Master Jingshui's ascendancy at this time can at least ensure the stability of the Begging Alliance for the next few hundred years.
Of course, these are the old almanacs before Gu Xixi appeared, but even if Gu Xixi appeared, it would only suppress the contradiction temporarily.
Master Jingshui has been able to protest against Qin Xuanji, but if Xu Luo is added as a weight at this time, everything will be different.
Ancestor Qingren was silent for a long time. Qin Xuanji felt a chill on his back. His body, which had been protected from cold and heat for a long time, was actually sweating white hair, which was extremely rare.
But at this time, he could only hold on tightly. With Qin Xuanji's scheming wisdom, he had already understood that without the support of the ancestor in front of him, Master Jingshui's little cleverness would be useless in front of him.
After all these years, even a dog wouldn't believe him if he said he didn't have any resentment in his heart.
If Patriarch Qingren does not make a decision at this moment, even if Qin Xuanji forcibly awakens Patriarch Qinggui to seek justice, he will never compromise again.
"Haha, I never saw that you were so brave before, okay, okay!"
To Qin Xuanji's surprise, Patriarch Qingren was not even remotely angry at his faint intimidation, and there was even a smile of relief on his big, fleshy face.
He looked at the confused look in Qin Xuanji's eyes and did not pretend to be mysterious.
"That's all. Today, while everyone is here, I'll give you guys a good talk, who are getting more and more unsatisfied."
Patriarch Qingren ignored the jade mirror, and his body scattered like fluorescent lights, and then regrouped on the upper cloud platform.
He sat cross-legged directly on the cloud platform, and his face, which had never been serious, became extremely cautious, and the atmosphere in Xianwu Pavilion suddenly became heavy.
Many real people felt awe-inspiring and immediately found their seats and sat down quietly.
Qin Xuanji's position was taken by Patriarch Qingren, and he did not have the guts to sit behind him, so he could only stand by his side and listen to orders.
"I have indeed become increasingly dissatisfied with the situation of our Begging Union over the past few years, and I will even acquiesce in allowing Jingshui to stir up troubles, just to stimulate the younger generation like you who are used to being comfortable.
Now I feel a little regretful about the agreement I made with Wan Ying two hundred years ago. I originally wanted to try my best to buy time to allow our human race to recuperate and retain more energy.
Unexpectedly, living a peaceful and leisurely life for a long time has actually caused the current generation to be inferior to the previous one.
Two hundred years ago, I was lucky enough to be promoted to the Five Deceivers of Heavenly Beings, and a hundred years ago, there were people like you who entered the Three Flowers Realm, but what about now?"
Having said this, Patriarch Qingren rarely showed a look of regret, and he paused for a moment before sighing.
"To put it simply, you might as well ask yourself, if you want to enter the Five Declines of Heaven and Man, do you have a clue, how certain are you, and how many years will it take?
If you can sit here, you are the absolute elite backbone of our Begging Union. Now, who of you can answer me?"
As soon as these words came out, all the real people below lowered their heads as they listened. In the end, they didn't even dare to glance up from the corner of their eyes.
Qin Xuanji next to him was even more focused, staring at his toes and not even daring to move.
Although he has already reached the state of perfection where the Three Flowers Cohere, he still has no clue about the five degenerations between heaven and man, which seem to be only separated by a thin film.
Seeing the shameful expressions and dead silence on the faces of the people below, Patriarch Qingren gradually showed a hint of anger on his face, and he immediately spit out foam.
"If promotion to the Five Decline Realm requires chance and character, then look at the current generation.
Including those so-called genius seeds in your mouth, how many of them have experienced the pain of cultivation and advancement, and who has truly climbed up step by step from bloody fighting?
Everyone rushed to drink a lot of elixirs, and the so-called experience stove never stopped. Yes, this is the Kukai Sea. Except for the occasional trouble caused by the Shadow Club, the sect has almost no external enemies.
But have you ever thought about how many of these descendants would survive if they were thrown into other continents and into Shura fields where life and death are on the line?"
Patriarch Qingren showed an expression of hatred for the iron that cannot be transformed into steel, and pointed his stubby fingers at the people below.
"To tell you what you don't want to hear, we seniors are like flowers growing in a garden. They look colorful and full of vitality, but if a storm comes, all of them will be uprooted.
But we still hope that they can grow into towering trees, be able to support the alliance of beggars, and hold up the sky for the human race, don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
"Isn't that ridiculous?"
Patriarch Qingren almost roared the last few words, and the sound rang in everyone's ears like thunder. Everyone couldn't help but feel shaken, subconsciously thinking about whether it was right or wrong to act like this all these years?
Only a few people like Master Ruyan had a clear conscience. At this time, they felt that their hearts were at ease, and they were relieved of the depression they had been feeling for the past few years.
But just when Patriarch Qingren was obviously furious and everyone was silent, Qin Xuanji next to him spoke out to retort as if he was seeking death.
"Old Ancestor, it is not as cold as one day's freezing. We, the Beggar League, are naturally to blame for this situation.
However, Kukai’s environment, which is one-sided, does lack a place for future generations to gain experience. We can’t just let these children die, right?”
Patriarch Qingren subconsciously wanted to get angry, but when he saw Qin Xuanji's eyes, he did not give in. After a moment of contemplation, his anger gradually subsided.
Qin Xuanji's words do make sense, but if they open up a safe place for training, these real people are not able to do it.
This place definitely cannot be in the Broken Sky Sea, but as soon as you look out of the Broken Sky Sea, you can see that the Begging Alliance is almost surrounded by enemies. In this case, you can only rely on the Sanxian Ancestor to "negotiate" with other forces!
After figuring out the twists and turns, Patriarch Qingren almost jumped up.
"Damn it, this matter of going around and around together still has to fall on me?"
When Qin Xuanji saw that he had returned to his usual playful and angry manner, he immediately let out a sigh of relief. The ancestor was already attracted!
He nodded confidently.
"This disciple has actually been worried about this matter for the past few years, and finally chose a place. Then he will have to ask the ancestor to help with planning!"
Patriarch Qingren cursed endlessly, but seeing Qin Xuanji's persistent look of not giving up until he got a reply, he couldn't help but glare at him again.
"This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. When will you come to Wuyilin? We will have a good talk at that time."
Qin Xuanji was overjoyed and immediately accepted the offer and acted respectfully. Patriarch Qingren glanced at the real people below who were still thinking about it, and scolded him angrily.
"Okay, okay, just think more about what you do next.
It’s not that you can’t pamper your children, but everything has a certain degree. Otherwise, if we don’t teach it ourselves, how about waiting for the enemy to teach us someday?”
Many real people were relieved in their hearts, knowing that this test was barely passed, and they quickly responded in unison.
Patriarch Qingren muttered something, but even Qin Xuanji, who was very close at hand, couldn't hear clearly what he was saying.
At this time, Patriarch Qingren had returned to the jade mirror and was waving to everyone, and he followed suit.
After everyone gathered together, Patriarch Qingren smiled bitterly again.
"I was so angry at you bastards just now. I have said so many things, but it boils down to one thing.
No matter who sits on the throne of the sect leader, as long as it can be more beneficial to the Begging Alliance and the human race, I will support it with both hands and feet, do you understand?"
Qin Xuanji managed to maintain his composure, but several real people behind him, including Yan Zhenren and Qiu Jieyi, had unconcealable smiles in their eyes.
What was completely different from them was that the real people who were vaguely surrounding Bu Siqian were all pale-faced at this time.
But at this time, they didn't even dare to fart, so they could only follow the others and respond respectfully again.
"Okay, now you can tell me about this child!"
Patriarch Qingren didn't bother to pay attention to the petty thoughts of the people below him, and slapped Qin Xuanji hard on the head.
Although these words were his true thoughts, they were probably forced out by Qin Xuanji just now, so it was certain that he felt unhappy.
Qin Xuanji was very aware of the situation at this moment, and he revealed everything to Xu Luo in just a few words.
Because the matter was so unbelievable, Xianwu Pavilion was still quiet for a long time after Qin Xuanji finished speaking.
Patriarch Qingren no longer looked playful at this moment, and asked in disbelief.
"According to your theory, this boy named Xu Luo came to the Fairy Realm from the outside world through some unknown method, took Bai Zhile's identity and entered the Lower Court, and even managed to win a wool condensation from our Begging Alliance?"
Qin Xuanji also had a depressed look on his face, but now that this was all he could find, he could only nod helplessly.
"Nine times out of ten, this should be the case, but now my disciple has not met him, so it is not clear what exactly he has done."
At this moment, he has confirmed that this boy is Xu Luo, so naturally he has to provide some cover for his ancestors in Qingren. Not to mention Xu Luo's help to him, even for the sake of Xixi's face, he has to say as many good things as possible.
Patriarch Qingren waved his hand indifferently.
"Okay, you kid is just like a fox, and you don't say a word of truth. Why don't you just call that kid over and I'll ask him personally."
"In this Xianwu Pavilion?"
Qin Xuanji was really surprised at this moment. Since the day Xianwu Pavilion was opened, no one below the real person realm has ever entered it. Does the ancestor think too highly of Xu Luo?
Patriarch Qingren just looked at him, then looked at the equally astonished real people around him, and then sneered.
"But I feel that this child's level is too low, and it somewhat lowers the status of you seniors..."
Having said this, he revealed a look of undisguised sarcasm.
"It's not that I'm attacking you. This kid is indeed in the Ningsha realm right now. But even if we face each other now, if you keep this kind of contemptuous attitude, you will definitely suffer a big loss from him!"
After saying that, he didn't bother to pay attention to the faintly angry expressions on everyone's face, and urged Qin Xuanji again.
"Quick, let this kid come in, don't tell me that you can't contact him!"
Qin Xuanji smiled bitterly and pressed his fingers on the jade mirror as instructed.
At this moment, a slightly embarrassed figure suddenly appeared in Xianwu Pavilion. Qin Xuanji's mind was moved, and he stopped and looked back.
"Junior sister is back, what will happen to Master Duanshui?"
The person who came was none other than Master Jingshui who volunteered to intercept Master Duanshui, but she looked obviously embarrassed at this moment.
Seeing that everyone was looking over her, she quickly bowed and saluted Patriarch Qingren in front of the jade mirror.
"Disciple has met Patriarch Qingren!"
Patriarch Qingren rarely looked upright and waved for her to get up first.
"Let that guy Duanshui run away?"
Although these words contained some doubts, seeing Master Jingshui's face turning pale in an instant, everyone still didn't understand that this was the case!
Patriarch Qingren did not blame him too much, but sighed with a somewhat desolate expression.
"Originally Xuanji didn't want you to go, but I still wanted to see if you guys are still usable, so I asked you to try it.
Can you detect the difference between the two now?"
Master Jingshui took a long breath, barely suppressing the feeling of decadence in his heart, and pondered for a moment before speaking hesitantly.
"This disciple is too arrogant. He originally thought that he had condensed into two treasure lotuses and had many supernatural beings from the sect with him. He thought that he could suppress the Duanshui Master with just one move..."
At this point, her face once again showed an ugly look, but she still didn't shy away from saying it hoarsely.
"But when we really fight, the disciple realizes that he was no different from the frog in the well before.
Although his level of cultivation is slightly higher, Master Duanshui's grasp of various combat opportunities and the cooperation of spiritual objects and supernatural powers are all able to outshine his disciples.
Even though the two of them were clearly at loggerheads, he actually still had some energy left over to deal with others!
Compared with him, the disciples are like a three-year-old child dancing with a stick, simply incomparable!"
At this moment, Master Jingshui seemed to have changed. He no longer had the arrogance and confidence he had before, just like a pearl covered in dust.
When everyone saw her being so defeated, no matter how displeased they were with her before, they all looked anxiously at Patriarch Qingren who had been silent all this time.
You old man, please say a few words. Even if Junior Sister Jingshui doesn't compete for the position of sect leader, she will definitely be the leader of the peak in the future. She can't just give up on herself and sink completely.
