"Master, I know my mistake!"
Song Yuanqiao lowered his head deeply.
In the beginning, he thought that Zhang Sanfeng was dissatisfied with Shaolin's aggressiveness and was finally angry.
However, when Zhang Sanfeng said this, Song Yuanqiao immediately understood that Zhang Sanfeng's dissatisfaction was targeted at him!
Shaolin was aggressive, but he had always held a peaceful attitude and was unwilling to take the lead.
He knew that the reason why he did this was because he did not want to give the world a chance to talk.
However, in this way, Wudang's status in the eyes of the world was always lower than Shaolin.
Most importantly, it happened during the 100th birthday banquet of the founder of Wudang Sect.
Shaolin threatened Wudang, and the latter retreated again and again. What would the world think?
Where would Zhang Sanfeng, the birthday boy, put his face?
Originally.
Bai Lan had already displayed the prowess of Wudang at the Sword Comprehension Stone, causing everyone who went up the mountain to be in awe.
In the end, when they arrived at True Martial Palace, Shaolin kept testing Wudang's bottom line. They kept talking about Dragon Gate Escort, Zhang Cuishan, and Yin Susu.
How could Wudang be Shaolin's match in a verbal battle?
Hence, Song Yuanqiao's handling of this matter could be said to have greatly lost its standard.
Zhang Sanfeng was furious because of this.
He faintly felt that his eldest disciple had lost his edge while dealing with things smoothly!
This was not what Zhang Sanfeng wanted to see.
"It's good that you know where you went wrong."
Zhang Sanfeng glanced at his eldest disciple and said coldly,""There are many conflicts of interest in the martial world. No one can stay out of it. A war of words is just a shrew cursing in the streets.”
"You can have a chivalrous heart, but you have to always remember that 'martial arts' will always be before 'chivalry'.”
"I don't want Wudang to become a piece of fat meat that everyone covets after a hundred years! I don't want any Tom, Dick, or Harry to come to Wudang and criticize my disciples for what they should and shouldn't do!”
"If that's the case, Wudang might as well disband on the spot so as not to embarrass me, Zhang Sanfeng!”
These words were extremely serious.
At least Song Yuanqiao and the others had served Zhang Sanfeng for decades, but they had never heard him say that he would disband on the spot. For a moment, the Seven Heroes of Wudang knelt on the ground.
"Master, this disciple is in the wrong. Master, please punish us!”
Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou, and the others had always been on the same side. At this moment, they finally understood where Zhang Sanfeng's anger came from. He was really burdened by the word 'chivalrous' and his actions were inevitably restrained.
Moreover, he had to be careful.
In the True Martial Palace, the seven of them had dealt with the blame from Shaolin Temple and the others together. Naturally, they were punished together at this time.
Seeing Zhang Sanfeng fly into a rage, the six of them wanted to kneel down as well, but seeing that Bai Lan did not react at all and just stood there arrogantly, they looked at each other and thought that they did not do anything wrong, so no one moved.
Zhang Sanfeng lost his temper and saw Song Yuanqiao and the others kneeling on the ground. Bai Lan and the other juniors looked on foolishly, and their hearts softened as they slowly sat down on the chairs.
He closed his eyes and calmed down for a moment before saying,"Get up."
"While you're all here, I'd like to announce something. I'm the second Sect Leader of Wudang Sect.”
Song Yuanqiao and the others stood up one after another.
Hearing this.
Yu Lianzhou and the others looked in the direction of their eldest senior brother. Song Yuanqiao's expression was originally happy, but when he thought of today's matter, it quickly dimmed.
Originally.
Song Yuanqiao was extremely confident in protecting Wudang's foundation, but Zhang Sanfeng's words today made him understand that he was still somewhat lacking as a sect leader.
Just like today's Emei's Abbess Annihilation and Shaolin's Master Kong Wen, they dared to stand up at the critical moment, even if the result was not what they wanted.
But at least he dared to stand up.
As for himself?
Song Yuanqiao sighed in his heart.
As the saying goes, dare not be the first in the world. But sometimes, one needed to have the courage to be the first in the world.
In this aspect, he was inferior to his second brother, Yu Lianzhou, and his fifth brother, Zhang Cuishan. He was even inferior to the third generation's Chief, Bai Lan.
Zhang Sanfeng pondered for a while. His gaze lingered on Song Yuanqiao for a long time before shifting to Yu Lianzhou, followed by Zhang Cuishan, and finally to Bai Lan.
At this moment.
Bai Lan's mind was wandering. She thought about the dumplings in Jiaxing that Lu Xiaofeng had mentioned, the delicious osmanthus cakes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the countless gadgets in the capital that Blooming Flowers had mentioned. She thought about how she could not treat her stomach badly while traveling in Jianghu and enjoying the scenery.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard Zhang Sanfeng call out,
"Bai Lan, come here!"
Before he finished speaking, Song Yuanqiao and the others, as well as the six Void Pierce Realm experts, all turned their heads abruptly. Their eyes widened as they stared at each other with disbelief!
"Yes, sir!"
Only Bai Lan remembered that her great-master had reprimanded her uncle-master and the others. She didn't hear what happened after that and walked happily to Zhang Sanfeng.
"From today onwards, you will be the second sect master of Wudang Sect.”
Zhang Sanfeng's expression was serious.
"Alright."
Bai Lan nodded lightly. Just as she was about to turn around and walk back, she stopped.
Wait a minute!
What did I just hear?
"Me? Wudang Sect Leader?"
Bai Lan pointed at herself, her face full of surprise.
Although Song Yuanqiao's response this time was lacking in grace, in Bai Lan's opinion, it was not a big mistake. Now that there was no such thing as Song Qingshu betraying Wudang, it should be logical for Song Yuanqiao to take the position of sect master.
But Zhang Sanfeng didn't choose Song Yuanqiao.
"Yes, it's you!"
Zhang Sanfeng smiled like a thousand-year-old fox.
Song Yuanqiao was shocked!
The Seven Heroes of Wudang were dumbfounded!
The Void Pierce Stage cultivators were also dumbfounded!
What was going on?
Zhang Sanfeng didn't choose the experienced and prudent Song Yuanqiao, Yu Lianzhou, who had profound martial arts, or Zhang Cuishan, who was skilled in both martial arts and martial arts. Instead, he directly skipped the second-generation disciple and chose a third-generation disciple to be the Wudang Sect Leader?
"Are you kidding me?"
At this moment, Bai Lan also came back to her senses.
Zhang Sanfeng must have some other considerations for doing this. Otherwise, he would not have chosen him to be the sect master instead of the second-generation disciple.
Bai Lan didn't believe that there was no deeper meaning behind this.
"No, I haven't."
Zhang Sanfeng nodded and said,""However, you will only be the sect master for a year at most. You don't have to manage anything. Most importantly, I will remove you from your position as the sect master at any time!”
When he said this, everyone in the True Martial Hall was dumbfounded.
Don't care? A year at most? And could be removed at any time?
What kind of sect leader was this?
A sinecure?
Or was it a joke?
They couldn't figure it out.
Zhang Sanfeng had always been strong. Why was he playing around now?
Hearing this.
Bai Lan was deep in thought. He looked at Zhang Sanfeng and asked tentatively,"Does Grand Master mean that I should…cause trouble?”
