Leaving Master's small courtyard in a daze, Li Mu became more certain of his previous judgment - Ning Qingyu's health was about to fail.
People in Jianghu usually get married late, and Ningzhong is less than twelve years old by visual inspection. Such a hasty engagement is not so much admiring his own character, but more like arranging the funeral.
The current situation of the Huashan faction is very delicate. The two schools of Jianqi have been divided for decades, and countless small conflicts have accumulated, which has led to the confrontation between the two major factions.
If it weren't for Ning Qingyu's high prestige and strong means to suppress the two factions, I don't know what the trouble would be.
Once Ning Qingyu passed away, it would be a big trouble. Bear the brunt of the next head is the candidate.
According to the practice of the sect, the "No" generation will naturally take over after the Qing generation.
Prior to this, the competition for the successor of the Huashan School was also carried out among the disciples of the "Bu" generation. No elder of the Qing generation would shamelessly compete for the heir to the head.
However, there is a special exception, that is, the head of the sect suddenly encounters an accident, and the younger generation has not grown up, so a senior brother can take over.
The current situation of the Huashan School is very special. The Qing generation is in the prime of life and is the pillar of the sect, it is impossible to retreat now; but the non-type generation has also begun to show its prominence, and it is not that it has not grown up at all.
In addition to Cai and Yao who were piled up with resources before, including Li Mu, now there are five more people who have broken through to the top.
There are elders in the sect who suggested that a few "no" generation who broke through the realm start a mountain to accept disciples to pass on to the next generation, and won the support of most elders, but it was finally delayed because of the war between good and evil.
? Famous sects of decency are all shameful, and those who are not seniors have already emerged. Under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that the elders of Qingzi will jump out and compete for the leadership, but there are exceptions to everything.
The Taishan sect in the original book is an example. For the sake of profit, a few old immortals jumped out regardless of the inheritance of the sect, making people in the world see a joke.
There is no need to worry about Jianzong, everyone has unified their positions, and repenting is slapping themselves in the face. What's more, it is impossible for people who go back on their promises to win everyone's support.
Airbenders are not necessarily so. Although the group of air sect elders looked like they were all shameless.
However, when the next generation of disciples are useless, in order to keep the master's inheritance in the hands of his own lineage, it may be possible to give up face.
After all, in the original book, in order to win the competition, they not only tricked You Feng Qingyang to go to Jiangnan to get married, but even hired a prostitute to pretend to be a lady of the family.
People who can do this kind of thing don't look like masters with integrity.
Anyway, it's also a game in the same family. It's not easy for ladies to operate, so girls from good families have to be arranged.
If a shameless person really pops up and gets the support of the Airbender, it will be a big trouble.
It's nothing more than embarrassment, and more importantly, it will lead to the split of the flourishing Huashan faction.
After waiting for so many years, it is no wonder that Jianzong was able to compromise when the Qizong finally failed.
Li Mu was able to gain the support of many Jianzong elders so quickly. In addition to being good enough, there is also the resentment accumulated by Jianzong over the years. He is eager to launch himself as the head of his own line to prove that he is also orthodox in Huashan.
Of course, the interests behind it are also indispensable, but these things cannot be brought out in the open.
After all, during Ning Qingyu's reign, he was basically a bowl of water. Even if he took care of the Qizong, it was only secretly, and he treated everyone equally on the surface.
Being able to do this is beyond reproach. There is no absolute fairness in this world, and there is no guarantee that anyone can do better.
After comprehensively analyzing the situation, Li Mu became even more confused. He really couldn't understand Ning Qingyu's operation.
This marriage, is it a hint of support for him; or has he made up his mind to keep the position of head in the air sect, and it is a comfort to himself.
One side is the Qizong lineage, and the other side is his own daughter, with the sect inheritance mixed in between. Which side has more weight is enough for Ning Qingyu to worry about.
"People in the arena involuntarily".
Regardless of whether his cheap father-in-law is embarrassed or not, anyway, it is impossible for Li Mu to back down now. Even without Ning Qingyu's support, the fight should still be fought
Seeing Zhang Bufan who came leisurely, Li Mu greeted him with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhang, long time no see, how are you doing?"
Hearing this, Zhang Bufan shook his head hastily: "Not good, not good at all."
"Junior brother, you are not in the mountainI don't know. In recent days, Master's anger has been particularly strong.
Every day I watched our brothers and sisters practice martial arts, and from time to time I personally went to the field to give pointers. If I didn't pay attention, I was beaten black and blue.
Look at me"
Seeing a pair of panda eyes, Li Mu laughed. "Furious" is right. It was hard to see hope, but the breakthrough failed in the end. Normal people are angry.
When the master is angry, how can the apprentice feel better? It's just that Zhou Qingyun still wanted to lose face, he didn't lose his temper for no reason, but used the excuse of pointing out his cultivation, and beat people by the way to vent his anger.
The master teaches the disciples to cultivate, and no one can fault it. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, it could only be because he was not good at learning.
In this regard, Li Mu can only express his helplessness. Anyway, since breaking through to the first-class level, Zhou Qingyun no longer personally instructed him to cultivate.
"Brother, you are worrying too much. The war between good and evil has broken out, and I don't know when my Huashan faction will get involved.
The master is teaching you martial arts at this time, not because he cares about you. The strict requirements are also to allow you to better save your life on the battlefield. "
As a good apprentice, naturally one cannot say anything wrong about the master. No matter what the truth is, Li Mu always thinks of the best.
Unable to arouse the hatred of the same enemy, Zhang Bufan shook his head helplessly, gossiping: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. I heard that the Hengshan faction was ravaged by the demon sect this time, is it true?"
Li Mu nodded, pretending to be cautious and replied: "It's really tragic. If we hadn't rescued them quickly, they might have been wiped out.
There are only a handful of elite disciples left, and most of the inner disciples who survived the catastrophe are children, and they cannot be counted on for twenty years. "
Hearing this exact answer, Zhang Bufan took a deep breath.
Before he could react, Li Mu said again: "Senior brother Zhang, please come and invite Wang Buyao, Ding Buquan, Zhou Bujing, Duan Butao a few senior brothers to come and discuss the Tao."
"good!"
Zhang Bufan replied habitually, and then asked in surprise: "Wait a minute, why are they all from the Airbender?"
Li Mu smiled slightly, and asked directly: "They are all Huashan disciples, why can't I invite them?"
Normally, Li Mu was afraid of Ning Qingyu's reaction, and he didn't dare to make a big connection in the door.
It's different now, they're all a family, and it's not a big deal to be a little out of line.
No matter how dissatisfied other people are, it is impossible for them to label themselves as "making friends with evil spirits" just because they make friends with Huashan disciples.
