Chapter 98 – Star Moon Sect
No one knew that this fairy, who had caused the city of Spirit State to be in an uproar, had left the city and gotten into a carriage halfway down the road, giving Xue someone to be his pillow for the night.
After arriving in Spirit State and handing over to the city lord, Meng Lan completely treated herself as a little girl, accompanying Xue Mu to wipe the sweat and fan herself, so attentive that the guards commander Zhuo Qingqing couldn’t stand to look at it and consciously hid herself far away, cursing in her heart that in the past, when Meng Lan was under her own command, how could she not see that this girl was such a vixen?
“Is your son still missing Chief Constable Xiahou’s long legs?”
Hearing Meng Lan’s teasing with jealousy, Xue Mu reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, rubbing it and sighing, “You don’t know, she saved me a great deal of trouble. Without this sign, Department Six’s gang of elite soldiers can be hard to take in.”
After a pause, added: “That vinegar jar, two days not see a side, do not know in what ……”
“Who is the vinegar jar?” Xue Qingqiu’s voice came all the way in from outside, like a waxing moon frost, “Make it clear?”
“Huh?” Xue Mu pulled the scroll off his face and laughed, “Finally here? I thought you didn’t want your younger brother when you returned to the clan.”
“Who’s jealous?” Xue Qingqiu was unforgiving, “Was the beauty beside you a gift from me? Not only this one, but I also stuffed you with thirty-six of them! Is there such a good vinegar jar?”
Xue Mu was furious and amused, “So you’re still angry about this?”
Xue Qingqiu snorted coldly, “The disciples who have been raised for years, when they hear that they are going to work as personal guards beside a man, they all smile like flowers, disgracing the face of this Patriarch!”
That’s the truth, how could someone like Xue Qingqiu be jealous for so long and feel disgraced is true. Xue Mu lazily laughed, “It shows that this world just needs yin and yang harmony, look how much better you look after you met me.”
Xue Qingqiu finally couldn’t help but laugh, “This cheek of yours, I’m afraid that even the Star Spirit Cloud Mist can’t pierce it.”
Xue Mu smiled, “You’ll wear it out with a kiss.”
Being teased by Xue Mu like this in front of Meng Lan, Patriarch Xue Qingqiu’s face seized up and he coldly grunted a bit unable to hang on, “Don’t be lazy, let’s go, go back to the clan with me.”
Xue Mu stood up, “Introducing sect beauties to me?”
Xue Qingqiu laughed coldly, “Admit you into the sect, so that the yin and yang of this sect will harmonize!”
“Why does it feel like you’re not harboring good intentions?”
“Because this seat is looking forward to the scene of someone paying homage to the Sect Leader with three kneels and nine kowtows under the spectators of a group of warblers and swallows!”
“Can …… worship each other?”
“What do you think? My Lord Xue?”
The Rouge Place covered an area of several miles, and the sect’s residence was in a mansion of several hectares in the center of the Place, shrouded in formations, densely covered with organs, and heavily guarded, with a great deal of grandeur. There are hundreds of female disciples practicing in the martial arts field, sweating through the silk clothes, spring light hidden, dazzling.
Even if it hasn’t been clarified yet, compared to the bamboo forest in the backyard of the capital’s pathetic Hundred Flowers Garden, this place is really considered a proper devil’s lair.
Passing through between the corridors, Xue Mu’s eyes kept darting around the martial arts arena not far away. Xue Qingqiu’s eyes were not slanted, his tone was bland, in the style of a Sect Master, but the words he uttered were tasteless: “What are you looking at? So unproductive.”
Xue Mu laughed, “No wonder they don’t accept male disciples, to be honest male disciples really don’t want to concentrate on practicing in this kind of atmosphere.”
“Isn’t that why you’ve been accepted as a lecher?” Xue Qingqiu said blandly, “This seat will see when you get your bones extracted and your marrow sucked.”
“I’m a man of principle ……,” Xue Mu said righteously, “Don’t even think about it until you’re at the level of Absolute Color Spectrum.”
Xue Qingqiu glared at him and didn’t say anything else.
It seems that it is not easy to maintain the Patriarch’s temperament …… That stealing barbecued wings and stealing sugar gourds can only be stealing after all.
Xue Mu secretly sighed and followed her to the back hall.
A high seat in the middle of the back hall, imposing and grand, obviously the seat of the Patriarch. On the left side of the seat was a small chair, Curry Night was already sitting on it, stuffed with a mouth full of stuff and bulging, seeing Xue Mu smiling, waving her hand, wanting to shout out “Mu Mu”, but being hindered by her mouth full of stuff she couldn’t shout out, and turned into “Oooo”.
Xue Mu also waved his hand at her. The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and even if the late night had dulled it a bit, it was hard for him to turn a blind eye to it.
Xue Qingqiu’s long skirt trailed on the ground as she slowly walked up to the high seat and turned to take her seat, her phoenix eyes were like electricity in a flash, austere and powerful. There were two rows of women standing on the left and right, four of which were middle-aged women in their forties and fifties on both sides of the seat, saluting in unison, “See Patriarch.”
Then the two rows of women on the left and right followed suit and saluted, “See Patriarch.”
This grandeur …… Xue Mu stood in the middle and looked at Xue Qingqiu, his heart was quite a bit odd. He knew that Xue Qingqiu was not a person who talked about ostentation, it was just that being in her position, it had to be so. Other people see is her mighty world’s temperament, but Xue Mu eyes but saw her tiredness and loneliness.
Just because of that smile that can not help but show when eating.
If she can choose, she might be more envious of Curry Night right …… carefree five year old form, casually how to play around is normal in the eyes of others, no one will hold any expectations on Curry Night in terms of majesty.
“Today’s gathering of all of you is to formally announce an important matter in this Sect.” Xue Qingqiu faintly said, “Effective immediately, this seat accepts disciples on behalf of the master, and formally accepts Xue Mu as the fiftieth generation disciple of this Sect, as this seat’s master. In addition, this Sect has newly created the position of Grand Master, which Xue Mu will hold, overseeing all matters inside and outside, and will be at the beck and call of this Seat when it is not here.”
The scene was quiet for a moment, the women had different looks and none of them spoke.
Understandably, no one would easily accept this kind of top boss parachuted on their head, and it was also a male superior in a women’s sect, going against the norm.
Even if one knew full well that this was a wise military advisor who had repeatedly made great achievements;and had saved the patriarch’s life in the capital, living and dying together. But this was not seen in person, and it was indeed hard to accept it for a moment. Not to mention the possibility that it was possible that the Sovereign was caught in the web of love and was deceived by a man.
This was not impossible, who was this man, ah, a court-appointed baron and Lord of Spirit State City! Could it be a poisonous plan by the court intending to silently appropriate Star Moon Sect?
The reason why no one objected on the spot was quite complex. The first one was naturally that Xue Qingqiu’s prestige was just too high, the current Star Moon Sect was practically a kingdom that she had fought with just her hands, a deity who said that there was no one who dared to pick a fight against her decision.
The second reason is that Curry Night and this man’s relationship is actually also very good …… Even if Curry Night speaks and no one listens, this is after all the core of the sect, the number two figure. The consensus of the number one and two heads was not something that others could easily overrule. Besides, the one who is most affected by this appointment is Curry Night, and if she doesn’t care, it’s even worse for others to say anything.
The third reason was that Xue Mu was now a baron and the Lord of Spirit State anyways. Even though these people didn’t put court officials and titles in their eyes, the Spirit State City Lord was really a bit special and had to give a face of politeness.
The fourth reason was that Xue Mu, who knew the importance of public relations better than anyone else in the world, let thirty-six direct sisters go back to the sect to do public relations the first time they arrived in Spirit State.
Half of these sisters used to be Sovereign Guards, their strength was not bad, and each of them was a favored disciple from under these Elder Deacons, so they naturally had a network of relationships in the Sect, and were also quite favored by these Elder Deacons. The budding disciples have spoken for two days, bragging about how Xue Mu is as wise and deep as the sea, how he holds the sky in his hands, and how he turns the clouds and rains …… and then sends Xue Mu’s heavenly treasures from Ji Qingyuan’s hack to the gods and goddesses without money …….
Several factors add up, originally a likely to trigger the sect turmoil, may need to be killed to establish the prestige of the appointment, actually half a day have not a sound.
Xue Qingqiu’s phoenix eyes swept through the crowd and blandly said: ”Since no one is against it, it will take effect immediately. Xue Mu you come over, the ceremony of initiation will be held for you.”
“That ……” Finally, there was still a famous woman who just couldn’t help herself and spoke carefully, “Patriarch, we have heard that Mr. Xue intends to change the sect’s layout policy that has worked well for more than eight years … …”
When someone started, someone else followed, “Patriarch, after all, this matter is of great importance, isn’t it better to slow it down and discuss it with a collective wisdom.”
Yes, this is a route issue, which can just let someone change the whole thing with one sentence? The clan plan is not a house, when Xue Qingqiu implemented the greenhouse plan, it was also a forceful discussion, not just saying do it.
If this is the entry point, so that the man initially on the decree does not work, the future is not afraid of him up moths.
Xue Qingqiu said casually: “Oh? Then you can debate about it, after all, the green house was my seat’s idea, and I would like to hear Chief Xue’s opinion.”
In fact, Xue Mu’s idea had been made clear to her as early as the day Zhu Chen Yao touched the door to be a stupid assassin, and now that she intentionally came up with this, Xue Mu knew that she meant that she wanted to make herself known, rather than just relying on her authority to press people. Otherwise, even if you’re on top, if you’re not convinced in your heart, it’s not a good thing.
Not to mention that the green house plan was implemented by Xue Qingqiu, if it was overturned by Xue Mu in public, it would also be shaking her prestige, and she was using the damage to her own prestige to pave the way for Xue Mu.
Xue Mu looked at Xue Qingqiu, Xue Qingqiu smiled faintly, and between their glances, their minds were connected, and they both saw the rhinoceros in each other’s hearts.
