"Oh, why is this?" Xu Zhengqing heard that Ximen Yu had placed Xiao De in solitary confinement and did not let him out even for such a big thing as Heng Chong coming to challenge him. From this, it can be seen that there must be some hidden secret in this.
"Master, it's like this... I hope Master can forgive me." Ximenyu had no choice but to truthfully tell Master what happened in the past few days to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Yes, what junior brother said is true, we can all testify." Xu Chen said firmly.
"Dad, Xiao Dezhi is the first of the top ten assistant coaches. He really went too far and didn't look down on his junior brother at all. Moreover, his camp did lose in this camp martial arts competition. In the end, junior brother The junior brother removed him and selected Junior Brother Long Jiuhelong, who is the most skilled in swordsmanship, from among the twenty junior brothers and sisters at the tenth level of swordsmanship, as the new assistant teacher." Xu Wei also agreed.
"Disciple Long Jiuhe, pay homage to Master." Long Jiuhe saluted at the right time.
"Well, Ximen Yu has done a very good job. Everyone should follow Xiao De as a warning in the future. Long Jiuhe, since you have replaced Xiao De as the new assistant coach, you must set an example in the future. Okay, if there is nothing else, let's leave now. , Ximenyu, come with me, my master." Xu Zhengqing ordered.
"Yes, Master."
…
"Master, my disciple imprisoned Senior Brother Xiao without permission, are you going to be angry with me?" Ximen Yu asked aloud.
"Haha, what's there to be angry about? I've already said that when I'm away from the sect, you will be solely responsible for the affairs of the sect. However, how do you plan to deal with him?" Xu Zhengqing asked.
"Disciples obey the master's orders."
"I want to hear your thoughts first."
"The disciple felt that Senior Brother Xiao was just a little arrogant, but actually he was not bad-hearted, so he was removed from the position of assistant coach and asked to think about his mistakes. It was also a kind of experience. But for a while, he found it difficult to accept it. I know if he will do something extreme if he gets his temper, so I don't dare to release him rashly."
"Well, you mean he's not the real murderer?"
"It's unlikely that it's him. Although from the perspective of the whole thing, he's the most likely. But if I were him, I wouldn't be as ostentatious as him in doing anything. After all, this matter is not trivial. If I'm not careful, If you show your flaws, you will fall into a place of eternal destruction."
"Yes, it was because of these considerations that I finally gave him the only spot to be selected into the Qingzhengtu of Qiankun. By the way, did you find anything new when you held the top ten camp competition?" Xu Zhengqing was curious. road.
"Yes, there is, but after all, I'm not sure yet, so..."
"It doesn't matter, even if you say it, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong," Xu Zhengqing encouraged.
"Currently, the disciples think that Chen Li, Liu Su, and the new assistant coach Long Jiuhe are the most likely. I suspect Chen Li and Liu Su because their strength is superior to Xiao De, but they are They all willingly gave up the position of chief instructor to Xiao De, and relegated themselves to the third or fourth place, and usually kept a low profile. As for Long Jiuhe, the disciples felt that he was not simple, and his strength was probably the same as that of the two senior brothers and sisters in front of him. In comparison, he was not willing to give in, but he was also hidden very deeply, and it was not until Xiao De's downfall that he emerged."
"That makes sense, so let's take the three of them as our primary targets and get to know them first." Xu Zhengqing praised.
"Doesn't even Master know their details?" Ximenyu asked doubtfully.
“Knowing people, knowing their faces, but not their hearts, sometimes what you see with your eyes and ears may not be the truth.”
"I understand, Master, what do I need to do?"
"You don't need to do anything. If the real culprit behind the scenes is one of the assistant coaches, then his next target is you. He will try to get you out of the position of the young sect leader. If he is not one of the assistant coaches, then he
The next goal is to become a top ten assistant coach."
"Well, indeed. We just need to wait and see what happens while being careful. What about Senior Brother Xiao...?" Ximenyu asked.
"He can't stir up any trouble, so let him continue to muddy the waters." Xu Zhengqing suggested.
"good."
…
Zhengqing gate, confinement room.
"Ximen Yu, you damn villain, if you dare to let me out, I will cut you into pieces." Xiao De said in a hoarse voice.
"How presumptuous, you bastard." Xu Zhengqing couldn't help but said angrily when he heard Xiao De's vicious words as soon as he arrived in the solitary room.
"Master...Master, you have to make the decision for your disciple, Ximen Yu actually treated me like this." Xiao De did not expect that the master would suddenly appear here, and was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Xiao De, what you did has made me very disappointed. I really didn't expect that you valued the so-called fame and wealth so much. Once you learned that you could not become a swordsman successor, you completely exposed your true nature. Now
When you learned that you couldn't even serve as a teaching assistant, you intensified your efforts." Xu Zhengqing scolded.
"Master, this disciple has been wronged. It must be Ximenyu who slandered me."
"Xiao De, if you are still so stubborn, I will expel you from the school."
"Ah, Master, my...disciple knows that he is wrong." Seeing that Master had made up his mind, Xiao De had no choice but to relent.
"Xiao De, you are no longer a teaching assistant, but I still have a new task for you. It depends on whether you are willing to serve me."
"Despite the master's instructions, the disciple will do his best." Xiao De secretly rejoiced. It seemed that the master still valued him.
"Well, you hide in Long Jiuhe's camp as an ordinary disciple, oh, it's the camp you were in before. Secretly observe for me whether the top ten assistants have any behavior that violates the rules and etiquette, and then report to me, I understand.
?”
"Disciple understands."
"Remember, this matter should only be done in secret and cannot be discovered by others, so in the future you must not do anything like this blindly."
"Yes, please rest assured, Master, I will definitely complete the task." Xiao De responded. He did not need to be told by Master, but he must complete the task satisfactorily. Only in this way can he return to the position of teaching assistant.
"Well, that's good. You can go back first." Xu Zhengqing released Xiao De from the solitary room.
"Thank you, Master." Xiao De left happily. Master was indeed here to rescue him.
…
During morning training the next day, Xiao De came to Jianwu Square.
"Xiao...Brother Xiao." Long Jiuhe secretly wondered why Xiao De suddenly appeared. Thinking of his style of dealing with people, Long Jiuhe couldn't help but have a headache. How could he not want to have further conflicts with him.
The other disciples also whispered as if they were waiting for a good show.
"Congratulations to Junior Brother Long. I hope that Junior Brother will give you more advice in the future." Xiao De said with a smile.
"Uh... I don't dare, Brother Xiao is joking." Long Jiuhe responded, feeling confused at the same time. This is not like his style.
