Chapter 745: Junior Sister Xu Confessing Her Intentions
"What's next?"
After the meeting in the main hall ended, all the monks from Guyuan Zhao family gathered in Elder Yuanshou's cave to discuss countermeasures.
The current situation is not optimistic. The Xu family and the Ge family have joined forces to support Qiu Changtian as the heir to the headship.
If they are allowed to achieve their goals, the Zhao family and the Luo family will undoubtedly suffer the most.
Of course, if it were purely a competition between aristocratic families, the Zhao family would not necessarily be at a disadvantage.
But the current problem is that compared with Qiu Changtian, Zhao Jinghong is obviously inferior in both his talent for cultivation and his resourcefulness and decision-making.
In the Kunlun Taiqing Sect, although there are four major families, monks from various small and medium-sized families and sects account for the main proportion of Jindan Zhenren and Yuanying elders. If left alone, the current two candidates
Based on human performance, most of these high-level monks from the neutral camp will definitely support Qiu Changtian.
Therefore, Elder Yuanshou's opinion is to select some of these neutral monks who are close to the Zhao family to interact with and ask them to cheer for Zhao Jinghong.
Then with the help of these people, we can further expand our influence... and eventually surpass Qiu Changtian in terms of prestige.
The other elders began to settle accounts with him: if they wanted to bribe enough Nascent Soul elders, the price would be an astronomical figure.
"If Zhao Jinghong can really become the headmaster of Kunlun in the future, the money will be well spent." A certain elder said with an embarrassed expression, "The question is, how can anything in this world be 100%?"
"If you don't win in the end and then pay out the money, it will be a serious loss to the clan's vitality."
"At that time, we don't need to apologize to the whole clan. The clan members below will rebel directly: so many cultivation resources are not used to support the clan members' cultivation, but are used to bribe outsiders. What does it mean?"
Elder Yuanshou waved his hand and said impatiently:
"Don't be timid when doing things... Don't forget, we have invested so many resources in order for Zhao Jinghong to be a candidate for head coach. What do you mean now?"
“Is it possible that all the early investment was wasted?”
"That's not what I mean." The elders said tentatively, "You can continue to fight, but you can't fight regardless of the cost. Even Master Chang Geng proposed to besiege Tiecheng Mountain, and he knew that the scale of the war should be controlled as much as possible to avoid unnecessary casualties!"
"If we hadn't made a desperate move and sent a large number of manpower to surprise Beiman Mountain, we wouldn't be in this situation now..."
Elder Yuanshou was furious and was about to speak, but he only heard Zhao Jinghong waving his hands and saying:
"Third Grandpa, it's okay."
He looked calm and composed and said slowly:
"I have already thought about it. We still have to fight for the position of headmaster, but there is no need for the clan to continue to consume resources."
"Idiot, if you fight alone, how can you defeat Master Chang Geng!" Elder Yuanshou said, "Do you know how much energy and effort Master Ziwei put into Qiu Changtian? Do you know
How much did the Xu family of Tiannan spend? The Tianyuan Yiqi Sword that Qiu Changtian carries with him was directly given to him by the Xu family of Tiannan!"
"So what?" Zhao Jinghong sighed, and in turn persuaded Elder Yuanshou earnestly, "He has a clear mind and a first-grade golden elixir! If our Zhao family is the first to discover his potential, how will the family treat him?"
"The clan has been training you for many years, and it is impossible to temporarily change your bet on him." Elder Yuanshou said coldly, "In short, you have to fight for the position of the leader, and you have to fight even if you don't want to fight!"
"Such a lot of upfront costs can't be wasted just because such a monster appeared!"
He angrily walked away, leaving Zhao Jinghong and other clan elders looking at each other in silence.
——————
Since the plan to siege Tiecheng Mountain was approved, Qiu Changtian began to deploy the plan.
At this time, Kunlun is fighting against the Demon Cult in Guanzhong. If they want to besiege Tiecheng Mountain again, they will send troops on two fronts. The scale of the war will inevitably expand, and the number of manpower needed to invest will also increase dramatically.
And since Tiecheng Mountain is where the Shura Tao is stationed, it is a direct threat to the opponent's Taoism, so the Shura Tao will definitely resist with all its strength.
How to control the intensity of the war and avoid escalation will undoubtedly test the operational skills of the coach Qiu Changtian.
Xu Yinglian returned to the cave and came to Qiu Changtian. Seeing that he was still buried in his case and thinking hard, he couldn't help but persuade:
"Senior brother, don't be too tired. There is no shortage of resourceful people in Kunlun, so why do you have to do so many tiring tasks?"
"Ahem." Qiu Changtian said with a smile, "It's your responsibility, don't dare to neglect it."
"Senior brother, he's still the same as before." Seeing that he refused to listen, Xu Yinglian wasn't annoyed at all. He just sat down next to him and started making tea.
"Junior sister." Seeing her making tea powder with her bare hands, Qiu Changtian suddenly had a thought in his mind and asked, "When the Guyuan Zhao family asked the Xu family to propose marriage, why didn't your clan leader agree?"
"Of course I think he is not worthy." Xu Yinglian replied lightly.
"Not worthy?" Qiu Changtian said strangely, "Although Zhao Jinghong is not as good as me, his talent is considered to be top-notch among his peers, right? The Xu family in Tiannan doesn't like him?"
Xu Yinglian:…………
How do you say something like "Although it's not as good as me" with a calm face?
However, considering that her husband is really powerful, and he directly defeated her opponent in terms of intelligence, Xu Yinglian had the illusion for a moment that "I am his wife, rounding it off means that I am powerful", and said happily:
"Because I am a Qiqiao Exquisite Heart. If you want to be my husband, you cannot surpass me in spiritual talent. How can that be done?"
"Do you really think so?" Qiu Changtian said teasingly, "Then if I were not in the world and Qiu Changtian, who has a clear Taoist heart, would you never marry?"
"It's not impossible." Xu Yinglian said calmly, "For us cultivators, marriage is just a dispensable thing. If I can't find someone I can approve of, I would rather never marry."
"What if one day, I suddenly lose the gift of enlightenment?" Qiu Changtian asked again, "Do you want to make peace with me, madam?"
Hearing that he called his junior sister "wife" instead of "junior sister", Xu Yinglian felt a little shy, but quickly answered calmly:
"Now that we have become a Taoist couple, how can we divorce? Unless my husband is raising a wife outside behind my back, let alone losing the talent for Taoism, even if I lose all my skills and become a mortal, I will not abandon my duty as a wife.
, at worst, I’ll just support my husband for the rest of my life.”
"Hahaha, that's it." Qiu Changtian said with a smile.
"What do you mean it is like this?" Xu Yinglian was a little annoyed at his perfunctory attitude, "Am I just the kind of dull woman who has high ambitions but low abilities in the eyes of my husband, who would not marry a genius?"
Seeing his wife getting angry rarely, Qiu Changtian could only comfort her with gentle words and explain her guilt.
Secretly, I felt a little uneasy, thinking that with Junior Sister Xu's arrogance, if she knew about the existence of Miss Shi and Witch Jiang, wouldn't she be so angry that she would beat me into a mortal with no power left?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
As long as my cultivation realm completely crushes my junior sister, I will never end up in such a tragic end!
