For a time, the masters of the various branches spoke rudely, most of them extremely sarcastic.
However, Zhou Yi did not get angry under such ridicule. He did not even have the slightest fluctuation in his heart. He just looked coldly at these branch masters jumping up and down. He was already well aware of the purpose of these people's visit. Their seniority and seniority were all excuses. What they sought was the benefits of the Unity Sect.
The Unity Sect was a huge sect with thirteen branches and a few thousand students, so their income was naturally considerable. Whoever became the sect master would obtain the greatest benefits. These branch masters all knew this, which was why they came together. Moreover, before they came here, they had reached a consensus, which was to jointly eliminate Dan Ying and Zhou Yi. In their view, although Dan Ying was Dan Bai's daughter, she was only a woman and a junior. She had no right to compete with them. There was no need to talk about Zhou Yi. He was a son-in-law who had married into the family, and he was not even an official son-in-law. With such an identity, he was even less qualified to compete with them.
However, even if she was a whore, she still wanted to build a memorial archway. If they wanted to exclude Zhou Yi and Dan Ying, they had to find a legitimate excuse so that they wouldn't be the subject of gossip. Thus, after a series of conspiracies, there was this grand show of forcing the abdication.
Back then, Shan Bai had achieved some success in his studies and ventured south alone. After ten years of hard work, he had finally established the Unity Sect. Later on, the martial arts school grew bigger and bigger. He remembered the source of the water and called his fellow disciples over to help as a form of repayment to the sect. He did not expect that his fellow disciples were all ungrateful wolves. He had just passed away, and these ungrateful wolves could not hold back anymore and revealed their true forms. He did not know what he would think if he knew in the underworld.
Actually, Dan Bai had already seen through the signs and predicted this outcome. That was why he left Zhou Yi and Dan Ying with those last words.
Looking at the ugly faces of these branch masters jumping up and down, listening to their mouths full of sh * t, Zhou Yi suddenly wanted to laugh. He wanted to laugh at these people for not knowing what to do, laughing at the coldness of the world, laughing at the inferiority of human nature. However, he didn't laugh in the end. He couldn't laugh at this moment either.
Seeing that Zhou Yi did not speak for a long time and did not have the slightest intention of calling Dan Ying out, these branch masters finally gradually calmed down. Wei Changming, the manager of the Gaoming District, was the first to rebuke,"Kid, what are you still standing here for? Quickly go and call that girl Dan Ying out.”
Zhou Yi glanced at him coldly and said,""Didn't you call me a wild brat just now?”As he spoke, he swept a cold glance at the branch masters and continued,"Didn't you just say that I'm not qualified? Since I'm just an outsider, what right do you have to order me around?”
"You…"
As soon as he said this, Wei Changming's arrogance was immediately suppressed, and at the same time, the branch masters were speechless.
Zhou Yi continued," To tell you the truth, Xiao Ying is in the bedroom right now. If you are not afraid of being laughed at by the people of the martial arts world, saying that you bullied a weak girl of the younger generation, you can go in and catch her. I want to see which of you has the guts to do so.”
After saying that, he looked around coldly. Wherever his gaze landed, the branch masters turned to look elsewhere.
At this moment, Lin Shixiong, who was sitting in the first seat on the left, said,""Ah Yi, how can you talk to your uncles like that? That's right, the words of the uncles just now were indeed inappropriate, but they are still your elders. Even if their words were inappropriate, you shouldn't have offended them like this.”At this point, he softened his tone and continued,"On account of Senior Brother Shan's recent death, your emotions may not be too stable. How about this, go and call Dan Ying out. We'll discuss some serious matters and leave after we're done.”
Hearing this, Zhou Yi didn't say anything. He looked at Lin Shixiong as if he wanted to see something from his face.
Lin Shixiong felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. He continued,"Actually, we don't have any other intentions. We just want to know what Senior Brother Dan said before he died.”
Zhou Yi sneered," Junior Master Lin, I'll call you Junior Master again. It's already at this point, why are you still pretending?"”
Hearing this, Lin Shixiong's face darkened.""Yi, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Zhou Yi sneered. My father-in-law has just passed away, and this is the first day of the seventh day. His body has not even cooled down yet, and you're already working together to cause trouble. Now you're asking me what I mean?”
"I…"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhou Yi immediately interrupted him,"Let me say it. My father-in-law left, and the position of sect master became empty, so some people were jealous.”At this point, he looked around at the branch masters and asked in a mocking tone,"Am I right? Uncles!"
The branch masters never expected that Zhou Yi actually dared to expose the matter in front of so many people.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the mourning hall became strange.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Qingyun, the manager of the Sanshui District branch, suddenly shouted,"Stinky brat, stop slandering me!”
Zhou Yi said coldly,"You know very well whether I'm slandering you or not."”
Being blocked by Zhou Yi, Zhang Qingyun instantly flew into a rage out of humiliation."I'm so angry. Today, I must teach you a lesson!”
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to use the Book of Changes.
At this moment, Lin Shixiong suddenly shouted,""Junior Brother Zhang, what are you doing? After all, today is the first day of Senior Brother Shan's seventh day. Do you want others to laugh at our Unity Sect?”
Under this shout, Zhang Qingyun's face turned green and white, but he still endured it.
At this point, Zhou Yi could see that Lin Shixiong was the real mastermind behind the scenes. Most of the others were instigated by him.
After ordering Zhang Qingyun to retreat, Lin Shixiong turned to Zhou Yi and said in a clear voice,""Ah Yi, you are right. We are indeed here for the position of sect master. Senior Brother Shan had passed away, and the Unity Sect had a great foundation. They could not be without a leader, or else the foundation that Senior Brother Shan had built would be destroyed.”
It had to be said that Lin Shixiong's cunning and cunning had already exceeded the estimation of the Book of Changes. The matter was exposed by Zhou Yi, so he simply played along and admitted it openly. In this way, he was standing on the moral high ground. Even if word got out, others would only say that he cared about the big picture and would never say that he was trying to seize the position of sect leader. Unfortunately, he had missed out on one thing. He did not expect that the bones of the Book of Changes were very hard. The greater the pressure he exerted, the greater the rebound force of the Book of Changes.
Zhou Yi mocked," Lin Shixiong, I used to call you Martial Uncle, but now I'm looking down on you more and more. You clearly want to seize the position of the sect leader, but you still use such a high-sounding reason. You're really hypocritical."”
