Returning to Jinghong Zhaoying, he sat down and drank a cup of tea. Ling Bufei suddenly said: "I understand, uncle doesn't want to make this matter public."
Bai Mengjin, who was sorting out today's homework, raised his eyebrows.
He was very silent along the way. What did he think he was thinking?
"The sect has not announced it, and the information revealed is not clear, so there will be a lot of speculation. If things go on like this, rumors will spread, and the disciples will increase their dislike for you and me."
He picked up the charcoal tongs and pushed away the charcoal in the stove: "Just like these charcoal fires, the stars are buried in the depths. They are not visible on the surface, but in fact they are burning diffusely inside. When they are discovered, only the surface layer is left.
It’s all burned inside.”
This metaphor is interesting. Bai Mengjin looked at him with a smile, seeming to encourage him to continue talking.
"And what you do today is to pour a spoonful of oil on this spark when it appears..."
Ling Bufei picked up the sesame oil on the table and poured it on. The flames on the charcoal suddenly burst out, forming an open flame.
"...It started to burn all of a sudden. In a short period of time, it burned so fiercely that everyone saw it and had to come and put out the fire."
He laughed, poured the tea on it again, and with a "chi" sound, the flame went out.
"In this way, it was preserved."
He raised his head and smiled at her. Bai Mengjin thought to himself, no wonder Master Ling was still in power in his previous life. It is really rare for him to be able to understand so many things at his current age.
"Are you having a hard time at home?" Ling Bufei suddenly said this.
Bai Mengjin didn't react: "Huh?"
"The intrigues in the family are no less than those in the sect. You lost your parents at a young age and have no elders to protect you. Your life must be much harder than mine. Otherwise, how could you react so quickly?"
When he said this, Bai Mengjin saw a little pity in his eyes, which made him feel funny and a little touched.
Lord Jade Demon has been suppressing the world of immortals for thousands of years. The grievances she suffered when she was young have long been forgotten. But over the years, some people respect her, some people fear her, but no one has ever felt sorry for her.
She didn't choose the wrong person. Although he was arrogant and mean on the outside, he was kind at heart.
"Actually, there's one thing I don't understand."
"What?" Ling Bufei poured himself tea again.
"Although you have the title of Young Sect Master, this is just a temporary measure to protect the Demon Suppressing Cauldron. It is impossible for you to really ascend to the throne. Why does your uncle..."
Ling Bufei smiled and his eyes moved with pride: "Don't you understand this? You only know that the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron is the treasure of the Wuji Sect, but you don't know that the leader of the Wuji Sect was actually selected by the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron.
of."
"Ah..." Bai Mengjin was surprised, she really didn't know about this.
Ling Bufei said slowly: "The Wuji Sect was able to establish the sect because the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron shined brilliantly in the Demon-Sealing War. Therefore, the Patriarch set a sect rule that the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron would choose the next sect leader. My mother was the one at that time.
The new sect leader was selected by the Demon Suppressing Cauldron, but something unexpected happened later."
Bai Mengjin suddenly realized: "So that's it..."
Ling Bufei continued: "My mother sealed the Demon Suppressing Cauldron inside my body, which led to an embarrassing result. The sect has no way to choose the next sect leader. According to the sect rules, even if I am a useless person, as long as the Demon Suppressing Cauldron still recognizes me
Lord, then I am the sect leader of the Wuji Sect. Tell me, how could the Wuji Sect allow an infant to be the sect leader?"
Bai Mengjin imagined it for a moment and couldn't help but smile: "My mother is so smart, so the Wuji Sect must protect you."
"Yes. So there are some people in the sect who don't approve of my mother's actions, such as Uncle Yang." Ling Bufei paused and continued the topic, "When I was brought back to Wuji Sect, the elders discussed it.
We discussed it but couldn't come up with the charter. Finally, the Ling family negotiated with the Taiyi Palace and decided on this expedient plan. I was appointed as the young sect leader and my uncle was in charge of the sect."
Ling Yun's cultivation level is high enough, his background is strong, and he looks good on the surface. He established Ling Bufei as the young sect leader and at the same time abided by the sect rules.
Bai Mengjin thought thoughtfully: "So, the sect master must be feeling guilty, right? He is the only sect master who has not been recognized by the Demon Suppressing Cauldron."
Ling Bufei smiled sarcastically: "In the beginning, the Ling family tried their best to protect me. Because of my existence, they could legitimately rule the Wuji Sect. Now, my uncle probably feels that his position is secure."
This is also human nature. It is said that we are immortals, but in fact we are all mortals. Who can escape from greed, anger and delusion?
The next day, the two went to class as usual.
As soon as they arrived at the academy, someone came over to say hello: "Young Sect Leader, Junior Sister Bai."
Or: "Young Sect Master, Uncle Bai."
As we walked along, the greetings never stopped, and everyone greeted us with smiles, which made Ling Bufei feel embarrassed and struggled to squeeze out a smile.
So they heard someone sigh: "It turns out that the young sect leader is also very kind. He even smiled at me just now!"
Another person added: "Isn't it true? How beautiful the young sect leader is when he smiles. He used to have a cold face and thought it would be difficult to get close to him!"
"Yes, yes, there is that guy from Baili following me. He seems to draw his sword and kill people when he gets upset."
Master Ling Shao: "..."
"Hey, did you hear that? Smile more from now on." Bai Mengjin patted him narrowly.
Ling Bufei was depressed: "Forget it. There was a female disciple who lent me the note before, but I don't know how to pass it on later, saying that I was always in trouble and abandoned her. I am a conscience of heaven and earth. I just thanked her and smiled at her."
"Is there such a thing?" Bai Mengjin was surprised. After taking a closer look at his face, he felt that it was easy to understand. Master Ling's face looked very carefree, and looking at others looked like seduction. If he smiled again,
There really aren't many girls who can handle it.
When they got to class, Master Sun became even more kind to them. After class, he gave Bai Mengjin a book of spiritual talismans he had compiled, saying: "Everything I have learned in my life is recorded here, so I should apologize to Master Bai. I see.
You are quite talented in making talismans, and the magic talismans are equally powerful. If you practice well, you will become a great weapon."
He also encouraged Ling Bufei: "Young Sect Leader, the little you accumulate every day will one day converge into a stream. When your meridians are connected, you will definitely soar to the sky."
Both of them thanked him.
Master Sun, when he doesn't make mistakes, he is still a good person.
The class was over, the gifts were collected, and when I was about to go back, a group of people nearby whispered to each other for a while, and a female disciple mustered up the courage to come over and say hello.
"Uncle Bai, young sect master, do you have any plans for the evening?"
Hey, do you want to invite them? That's quite new.
Bai Mengjin glanced to the side and said with a smile: "It's nothing important. What can my nephew say?"
The female disciple hurriedly said: "We heard that there is a flower party in Liuyuecheng tonight, which is very lively. We are going to have fun. Master, uncle and young master, do you want to come together?"
