Zha Youliang showed the signed document to Xiahou Mulan. After Xiahou Mulan read it, she gave it to Zha Youliang to keep.
Zha Youliang said: "Sect Master, I will inform the whole sect of this matter as soon as possible. We discussed it and selected a few times to prepare to hold a sect meeting and hold the sect leader's enthronement ceremony."
Xiahou Mulan said calmly: "No, since the procedures have been completed, it means that I am already the leader of the Weary Sect. There is no need to hold any ceremony, just make an announcement."
Zhai Pingqing said: "The words of the sect master are wrong. The sect master's enthronement is a major event for the whole family to celebrate together. How can we be so hasty?"
Xiahou Mulan said: "Elder Zhai doesn't need to say anything, I have already made up my mind."
Zhai Pingqing felt depressed in her heart. The acting sect master and the sect master were different. Xiahou Mulan seemed not as polite to him as before. In fact, this was not only because Xiahou Mulan had officially become the sect master, but also because Xiahou Mulan was in business.
After overpowering him, Zhai Pingqing was defeated and Pinghai was taken over by Xiahou Mulan. Although he sacrificed some of his interests, he at least escaped unscathed. From this point of view, it was Xiahou Mulan who came to his rescue.
Xiahou Mulan said: "I don't like to make any formalities. The position of the leader of the sect makes me sincerely afraid. I know that my qualifications are still young and my cultivation is not enough. However, it is hard to violate my father's name. The tired sect in front of me is full of troubles, so I have no choice but to come out reluctantly."
To shoulder this responsibility, if I meet someone more capable, I will take the initiative to step aside."
Zhai Ping Qingxin said that I am far better than you in terms of experience and ability. Why don't you give me the position of sect leader? Who doesn't say nice words? It's just superficial. The reason why you, Xiahou Mulan, can become the sect leader is because of your
Xu Chunliang’s help?
Cao Bingyi said: "The sect's noble character and integrity are really a blessing to us."
Zha Youliang said: "Since the sect master has made a decision, we can only obey it."
Huang Wanglin nodded: "Just do as the Sect Master said. Sect Master, I have one more thing to report to you."
Xiahou Mulan said: "If Elder Huang has anything to say, just say it."
Huang Wanglin said: "That's it. I'm getting old, and I'm gradually losing my energy to handle affairs. Although the sect leader has entrusted me with important tasks, I am no longer able to shoulder the responsibility, so I formally resigned from the position of elder to the sect leader."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Elder Huang, why should we act too hastily?"
Huang Wanglin said: "If we want to revitalize our tired family, we can't rely on old people like me. We must let capable people take over."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Elder Huang is fair in his dealings and highly respected. I can't think of anyone else who can take your place."
Zha Youliang said: "I do have a candidate in mind."
Everyone turned their attention to him, Zha Youliang said: "The person I'm talking about was born into the tired family, and her family members are also veterans of the tired family. She is Liang Wenjing."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Liang Wenjing? Are you talking about the president of Enheng Pharmaceutical?"
Zha Youliang nodded and said: "Exactly, Liang Wenjing is not only the president of Enheng Pharmaceutical, her father Liang Baichuan was once one of the two guardians of the tired sect, and was also the most loyal supporter of the old sect leader. Later, the sect leader
The Lord canceled the position of Dharma Protector. Liang Baichuan could have been selected as one of the four elders, but he refused on his own initiative. Elder Huang should know this."
Huang Wanglin nodded: "It's true, but Liang Baichuan has been missing for many years. I don't know Liang Wenjing."
Cao Bingyi said: "She doesn't seem to be from the tired family."
Zha Youliang said: "It has always been the case that she is one of the Eight Hall Masters, and Liang Baichuan is her introducer. The old sect master personally agreed. However, after Liang Baichuan disappeared, she rarely participated in the activities of the tired sect. Of course, this
It has to do with the actual situation of Ximen in recent years."
Everyone understood what Zha Youliang was referring to.
The sect has long been in disarray, and those with certain strength are all working independently. Even the four elders are concentrating on developing their own careers. If it is not summoned by the sect leader, they rarely come together, let alone others.
Now that Xiahou Zun has completely retired and Xiahou Mulan has officially taken over, where the tired sect will go in the future depends on the ability and courage of the new sect leader. However, the four elders are not optimistic about the future of the tired sect. Times have changed.
Well, the era when the sect master would raise his arms and shout for a hundred responses has long passed.
Although everyone has reached a consensus and unanimously recommended Xiahou Mulan as the leader of the sect, everyone has their own plans in private. Huang Wanglin chose to retire. His real intention was to slowly draw a clear line with the tired sect. This is why he did not let his son Huang Gongxian
The reason why he joined Wei Men is that the rules of the world have changed. Huang Wanglin didn't want his family to be trapped by Wei Men anymore.
As for Zhai Pingqing's current recognition of Xiahou Mulan's status, it is only a temporary measure. He originally had the idea of resigning as an elder, but after learning that Huang Wanglin resigned, he changed his mind. He also wanted to see where Xiahou Mulan would go under the leadership of Xiahou Mulan.
Development, to put it bluntly, is just a joke.
Cao Bingyi was subdued by the joint efforts of Xu Chunliang and Xiahou Mulan. The reason why he supported Xiahou Mulan was profit. Recently, he not only received business help, but also obtained the position of elder.
Zha Youliang obtained the position of elder through inheritance. His father Zha Enxuan used to be one of the four elders of the Kumen. He quit early due to his physical condition and strongly recommended his son to take over his position as the law enforcement elder. Of course, after Zha Youliang became an elder
He behaved quite well, especially in his unswerving support for Xiahou Mulan, who was also quite satisfied and respected by him.
Zhai Pingqing smiled and said: "I remembered what Elder Zha said. You and Liang Wenjing's father are both veterans of our tired family and can be considered the leaders of the second generation." When he spoke, his eyes glanced at Xiahou Mulan, and the meaning was obvious.
However, you, Xiahou Mulan, are also a tired second generation.
Cao Bingyi had just become one of the four elders. He was very cautious in speaking and did not express his opinions easily.
Huang Wanglin secretly thought to himself that Zhai Pingqing's words were not bad. If he let his son join the Kumen, I am afraid that the Kumen would have another second generation in power. The world is advancing with the times, and the Kumen is not exempt from the vulgarity.
Zha Youliang said: "As the president of Enheng Pharmaceutical, Liang Wenjing's strength is obvious to all. As the saying goes, you should not avoid relatives when making recommendations. We are proud of our parents and we regard our family as our home. I can say that our feelings for our family are the most important."
Much deeper than ordinary people." A strange smile appeared on Zhai Pingqing's lips. Why didn't he find that Cha Youliang was so eloquent in the past?
Xiahou Mulan said: "I have seen Liang Wenjing, but I didn't have a deep impression. Since Elder Zha suggested it, it can be included in the investigation object." Her eyes turned to Huang Wanglin again: "Elder Huang, I hope you will think about it carefully.
"
Huang Wanglin said: "Actually, I have made this decision since my son's accident happened. The reason why I waited until now to say it is because I am worried about the negative impact. Thank you to the master for retaining me. Huang is really unable to do what he wants."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Since Elder Huang has made up his mind, I can't force you to stay. Once the candidate for the new elder is determined, you will retire with success."
Huang Wanglin cupped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, Master."
Xiahou Mulan determined the time for the next elders' meeting and announced the adjournment of the meeting.
After the others left, Xiahou Mulan asked Huang Wanglin, "What was the relationship between Cha Youliang and Liang Wenjing in the past?"
Huang Wanglin said: "I don't know about this, but the relationship between Zha Enxuan and Liang Baichuan has always been good."
Xiahou Mulan frowned slightly and said: "In this case, the two of them can be regarded as family friends."
Huang Wanglin nodded.
Xiahou Mulan said: "Do you remember that I have an uncle named Cao Xinwei?"
Huang Wanglin said: "Isn't he already dead?"
Xiahou Mulan secretly sighed in her heart. Everyone thought that Cao Xinwei was dead a long time ago, but in fact, Cao Xinwei killed his biological parents and pretended to be the leader of the Weary Clan. This man had done so many bad things. The reason why he took over as the leader of the Clan.
The position is to cover up this shocking secret.
Xiahou Mulan nodded: "Cao Xinwei's uncle is Liang Baichuan."
Huang Wanglin said: "I remembered what you said. Yes, Liang Baichuan is his uncle. Back then, because Liang Baichuan had contributed to the tired family, the owner of the family also gave a half-sold and half-gift reward to a pharmaceutical factory in Haizhou.
He is the predecessor of Enheng Pharmaceutical, and it was from that time that the Liang family and his daughter made their fortune."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Although Liang Wenjing has the status of a hall leader, she has not made much contribution to the tired sect over the years. Her ability is indeed qualified to serve as an elder, but judging from her contribution to the tired sect,
I’m afraid it will be difficult to convince the public.”
Huang Wanglin said: "Since the sect master feels it is inappropriate, just cross her off the list."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Elder Huang, do you seriously not think about it anymore?"
Huang Wanglin said: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that my body doesn't allow it."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Have you ever considered letting your son inherit your business?"
This was tantamount to a formal invitation to Huang Gongxian. Huang Wanglin bowed his hands and said, "Huang is so grateful for the sect master's kindness, but my son has no ambitions here. Moreover, he has never joined the tired sect and has not made any achievements, so why bother making people gossip."
Xiahou Mulan sighed softly and said: "Elder Huang, I understand what you mean."
Huang Wanglin lowered his head and said, "I am disappointed with the sect master."
Xiahou Mulan said: "There is nothing to be disappointed. Everyone has his own ambitions. I will not force anyone. Although there are many people in the tired family, there are only a few who are truly capable and prestigious. With Elder Huang's withdrawal, there are no trustworthy people."
One less."
Huang Wanglin said: "Elder Zha is loyal and loyal. This person can be trusted."
Xiahou Mulan didn't say anything. She also trusted Zha Youliang in the past, but today Zha Youliang recommended Liang Wenjing, which gave her some ideas. Nothing would happen for no reason.
Huang Wanglin said: "Actually, I have someone who recommended me regarding the elder."
"Oh? Tell me."
Huang Wanglin said: "Xu Chunliang's ability is sufficient for the job."
