At this time, the time has reached noon, and several people in the Shenji Cave are still arguing. Qiu Wanli said: "Shunying, what's going on with you now? Outsiders are allowed to observe internal meetings!"
Shunying expected that Qiu Wanli would say this, so Shunying said calmly: "She is not an outsider. This person is the new member of the Afterimage Sect that I found."
When Ruoxuan heard this, she immediately understood what Shunying said and understood the meaning by then. Ruoxuan wanted to explain but at this time everyone's eyes were turned to Ruoxuan. Qiu Wanli sneered and said: "Humph! Xin
How are the members' skills?"
After hearing this, Shunying still said calmly: "The decision to enter the Afterimage Sect is made by the sect master. Did my father test your kung fu when he recruited you?"
After hearing this, Qiu Wanli stopped talking. At this time, Zhikong on the side said: "Little girl, have you held the ceremony?"
Ruoxuan was a little confused when she saw this and then said blankly: "I... didn't."
When Zhikong heard this, he laughed happily and said: "Hahaha, if you didn't participate in the ceremony, you are not a member of our Afterimage Sect!"
Shunying then continued: "The initiation ceremony is very simple. Just burn a stick of incense in front of my father's portrait and kowtow three times."
At this time Tianying ran over and took Ruoxuan's hand and said: "Silly girl, hurry up and offer incense and kowtow. Why are you still standing there in a daze?"
However, Ruoxuan knew that her identity was from the Qingquan Sect. If she joined the Afterimage Sect, it would be equivalent to betraying the sect. Ruoxuan had already put life and death aside, but she couldn't lose the face of the Qingquan Sect.
When it was handed over to Ruoxuan's hands, Ruoxuan said: "I am not from the Afterimage Sect, I am..."
Ruoxuan wanted to say that she was from the Qingquan Sect, but now she was in the Divine Machine Cave and was afraid that she would be in danger, so Ruoxuan couldn't finish her words halfway. After hearing this, Qiu Wanli smiled and came to Ruoxuan
Said next to him: "Little girl, what do you want to say about yourself? Do you know that you are not from the Afterimage Sect. If you hear what we just said, you will be killed. We happen to be top killers. Tell us what you want.
die."
Shunying said coldly at this time: "Are you really going to give up?"
Hearing this, Ruoxuan knew that she still had a great revenge to repay. The kindness of raising her from the Qingquan Sect could only be repaid in the next life. Thinking of this, Ruoxuan silently shed two lines of tears, then walked to the altar and lit the incense in her hand.
She bowed to Zhong Ting's portrait, put the incense in her hand into the incense burner, and then knelt down facing Zhong Ting's portrait. At this time, Fang Ling walked up to Ruoxuan and said, "Girl, just kowtow down.
You can no longer escape from the afterimage gate."
Qiu Wanli then said: "Yes, there are three people who did not come to this summons. Master Zhong will definitely chase them to the ends of the earth. Girl, you should also think clearly."
But after hearing this, Ruoxuan's belief became even stronger, and she immediately kowtowed three times to the portrait in front of her. After Ruoxuan stood up, Tianying took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears on Ruoxuan's face and said: "
What’s your name, girl, and how should we call you?”
Hearing this, Ruoxuan calmed down and said, "My name is Ling Ruoxuan. I will ask all seniors to take good care of me from now on."
Qiu Wanli shook his head and said, "I can't talk about caring, but I will definitely teach you the rules."
At this time, Shunying also said: "Well, now that the ceremony is over, let's come back for the meeting."
After hearing this, everyone sat back in their chairs. At this time, Ruoxuan also sat on the chair farthest from Shunying. Shunying said at this time: "Can you admit the matter between Qiu Wanli and Duan Yifeng?"
After hearing this, Qiu Wanli said with a displeased look on his face: "What do I admit? Why should I blame him for leaving on his own?"
Shunying's face immediately darkened. He slapped his iron prosthesis on the table and said coldly: "I didn't say this. When I left, I told Duan Yifeng to be the master of the door. Why did you resist the order?"
Qiu Wanli said not to be outdone at this time: "Why should he be the leader of the sect! He is inferior to me in everything. In terms of prestige and martial arts, I am better than him in everything. Is it because he came a few days earlier than me?!
"
Shunying didn't say much at this time. A dagger popped out from the prosthetic on the back of his left hand. Qiu Wanli knew that Shunying was about to take action, but Qiu Wanli was not afraid at all. He sat on the chair calmly and said: "I
I can accept the punishment according to the sect rules, but I am not the only one who violated the sect rules during your absence, and you, Zhong Shunying, was also the one who violated the sect rules!"
Shunying heard Qiu Wanli's words and did not refute and leaned on the chair to listen quietly. Qiu Wanli saw that Shunying did not take action and said: "You find your employer again and ask him to take you to some fairyland island. Who is your employer?"
Who needs me to tell everyone?!"
Shunying was not surprised at all when he heard this, because Shunying knew that these people were not worthy of being in the Afterimage Sect if they could not even find out this bit of information, so Shunying said calmly: "My employer is the current fourth prince Zhu Jingxiang, what do you think?
Do you want my eyes or my tongue?"
After saying this, Shunying raised the prosthetic leg of his left hand. Qiu Wanli did not expect that Shunying would be so cruel, so he said: "Okay, Master Zhong, you are a man. I don't want your eyes and hands. You can say it yourself."
What to do first!”
At this moment, the stone in Shunying's heart finally fell to the ground. After going around in a circle, he finally reached the point. At this time, Shunying said: "I came back this time to choose the master of the sect again."
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this. They didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Shunying's gourd. Shunying looked at the people on both sides and said: "I know that a lot of things happened at the Afterimage Gate during my absence.
, I can ignore it, but all matters will be left to the next sect leader. When the next sect leader asks for my head, I can give it to him."
After hearing this, Lou Yiming, who had been silent for a long time, said: "In this case, how are we going to choose the sect leader? We can't just have a fight. We are all killers and will probably die together in the end."
Qiu Wanli smiled when he heard this and said: "Hahaha, I said everyone is a killer, how about comparing who kills more people in one day?!"
Upon hearing this, Tianying immediately replied, "Have you forgotten the rules? The third rule is that you can only kill people for money."
Qiu Wanli felt helpless after hearing this, and immediately replied: "Then what do you think we should do?!"
At this time, Fang Ling said: "Since you want to be the leader of the Afterimage Sect, and you want everyone to support you, let's vote."
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. It seemed that the friendship between everyone was not very deep, so the voting was considered fair. At this time, Zhikong on the side asked: "Then
Miss Ning, vote as you please!"
Fang Ling stood up at this time and said: "There are a total of eleven people present now. Lu Jinling doesn't know martial arts, so he can't be the leader of the sect. Shunying just said that he doesn't want to be the leader of the sect, so the remaining nine of us will
Individual voting, if everyone has no questions, let’s start.”
After hearing this, Qiu Wanli immediately said: "Wait a minute, how can such an important matter as voting be decided so easily? I suggest that it is not too late to vote after seven days."
When Zhikong heard this, he immediately agreed: "Yes, of course we should carefully consider important matters such as choosing a sect leader. Then let's all disperse."
After Zhikong said this, he left alone. When he saw Zhikong leaving, Qiu Wanli immediately followed him out. When Lou Yiming saw the two walking out, he also came to Shi Xing and said, "Master Shi, I
I have something important to discuss with you, so let’s take a moment to talk.”
After saying this, the two of them also walked out, and then Cui Chenxi also left alone. Seeing everyone left, Tianying also came to Shunying and said: "Brother Zhong, you really don't want to be the master of the sect anymore.
What should we do next?”
After Shunying said this, he turned to look at Fang Ling and said, "You came up with the solution. Do you have the means to be the master of the sect?"
Fang Ling also sighed helplessly and said: "I am also delaying the attack. It doesn't make any difference to me who is the leader."
After saying that, Fang Ling also turned around and left. At this time, Tianying said to Lu Jinling on the side: "Master Lu, do you have any good ideas?"
Lu Jinling smiled and said: "The most important thing about being a sect leader is to be able to change the sect rules. Now it depends on who offers attractive conditions. Everyone is busy winning people's hearts. Miss Mao, won't you take action?"
Tianying shook her head and said, "I'm not interested. I'll just vote for myself when the time comes."
Lu Jinling said at this time: "Of course everyone thinks so, so now you only need to win over one person to become the leader of the sect. This reason is very simple."
At this time Shunying stood up and walked to Ruoxuan and said: "I didn't expect you to really join the Afterimage Sect. If you want to leave, do it now. You won't be able to leave until the new sect leader takes office.
"
Ruoxuan said firmly at this time: "Now that I'm here, I won't retreat any further."
Shunying also knew that Ruoxuan would not give in at this time, so he said to Ruoxuan: "Okay, I will take you to find that person now."
After saying this, Shunying came to Fang Muyan's side. When Fang Muyan saw Shunying coming to his side, he turned to Shunying and said, "Is...is something wrong?"
Shunying said: "Go back, it's over."
When Fang Muyan heard this, he looked around blankly and said, "I'm...waiting for someone."
At this time, a woman walked in from outside the Shenji Cave. She looked to be less than thirty years old. She was wearing a half-face mask, with big eyes and a tall figure. She was dressed in simple clothes and carried a basket on her back. She walked into the cave.
Zhong nodded towards Shunying, then helped Fang Muyan and the two of them to walk out of the cave. Watching the two people leaving, Shunying said to Ruoxuan: "I was caught by that person with him that day.
, he was tortured by that person for three days and three nights and his whole body was burned. Now even his consciousness is sometimes clear and sometimes blurry. Next to him is his sister Fang Mulin, whose tongue was cut off by that person. I will ask after seeing them.
Once again, do you still want to know who that person is?"
After hearing these words, Ruoxuan felt a trace of fear in her heart, but Ruoxuan still said firmly: "Of course!" (To be continued)
