Cheng Xi sat alone at the head of the banquet, and the Confucian teachers and disciples who came forward to salute returned the salute one by one, with a look of pity on his face, but he couldn't hide the satisfaction in his eyes, so he kept covering his face and pretended to be tearful. appearance.
Up and down the main hall, there were countless people standing densely. Everyone looked angrily, but the expression looking at Cheng Xi was full of the last ray of light.
Cheng Xi is the last hope of Confucianism.
The main hall of Confucianism was severely damaged in the final battle between Yan Jingliu and Li Daotian, and it is currently being repaired. The ceremony for Cheng Xi to succeed the leader of Confucianism had to be held in a side hall.
The old dean passed away yesterday, and today the new dean takes the throne. It seemed rather urgent, but Cheng Xi did it very cleverly, using the urging of many elders and chairs, after several pushbacks, in order to calm the hearts of the Confucian Academy's disintegration, he finally agreed "reluctantly".
Ye Qingxuan and others also sat at the table as special guests, watching with cold eyes that Cheng Xi sat on the throne of Confucian leader as he wished.
"How sure are you?" Feng Qingyan asked in a low voice at the seat.
What he asked was Cheng Xi's identity, whether he was really an insider of the Demon Sect.
Sun Kun on the side smiled and said, "Didn't you see the smile in Old Cheng's eyes?"
Hou Ting shook his head when he heard this, and said: "This doesn't mean anything. No matter how hard the Confucianism Sect suffers, he accepts the order in the face of danger and becomes the leader of the Confucianism Sect in his dreams, which is enough to make him get carried away."
"When a person is proud, he will eventually relax his vigilance." Ye Qingxuan said lightly, "I'm not afraid that he won't show his feet."
Everyone couldn't help but nodded.
At this time, Cheng Xi had received the congratulations from everyone, and stood up with a face of grief and indignation. His old age was gone forever, and he raised his already tall body, and said in a loud voice: "Masters, students... Cheng Xi was ordered in the face of danger. I dare not be ashamed, but for the sake of the Millennium Foundation of Confucian Academy, even if I feel guilty, I have no choice but to do my part.”
A group of subordinates who were clearly following Cheng Xi's lead took the lead in applauding.
Cheng Xi pressed his hand, the applause fell slowly, and continued: "Confucianism is difficult now, but Cheng is determined to lead everyone to overcome difficulties."
The applause broke out again.
Sun Kun and the others could not help curling their lips.
The color on Cheng Xi's face could not be restrained, his eyes swept over Ye Qingxuan and the others, especially when he paused for a moment on Sun Kejian's face, a gleam of brilliance flashed.
"Not good!" Sun Kun whispered: "This old boy didn't hold his fart well!"
Sure enough, Cheng Xi suddenly changed the subject, and said coldly: "The sage has a saying, you must first settle down when you fight against the outside world. Our Confucianism school is in a troubled time, and the various responsibilities in the school must be clearly divided. Only in this way can everyone help each other and overcome difficulties together."
Many Confucian disciples applauded the goodness, and they expressed their opinions one after another, willing to follow Cheng Xi and others.
Chun Yumao, who sat safely on one side and remained silent for a long time, said slowly at this time: "Cheng Ge... Dean Cheng, I don't know what orders you have for the important duties in the sect?"
Cheng Xi smiled slightly, and said softly to Chunyu Mao: "Brother Chunyu is knowledgeable and outstanding in martial arts. Originally, the position of the master of the martial arts pavilion must not be changed, but brother Shaoling is in trouble, and the position of chief supervisor cannot be idle. , and the responsibility is heavier... I don't know you... "
Chunyu Mao's originally cold face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I would like to be the Chief Superintendent... Uh, hehe, just as the dean said, it is a troubled time in the school, and the Chief Supervisor is in charge of the safety of the college, and Chunyu is duty bound."
"Okay!" Cheng Xi laughed, and said, "Since brother Chunyu succeeds to the position of supervisor, I am relieved. Then the masters of Wen Pavilion and Wu Pavilion will have to choose another talented person."
Next, in front of everyone, Cheng Xi immediately assigned several important positions to his cronies one by one.
After he sealed off his relatives, he turned his head to look at Sun Kejian who was sitting on the seat, and said with a smirk: "Mr. Sun...you are the Confucian school'Yansheng Jijiu', but you have not returned to the Confucian Academy for decades. , there is a suspicion of dereliction of duty... I wonder if there is something important to come back this time?"
Cheng Xi hid the sword in his smile, and just one sentence caused an uproar among the Confucians.
Indeed, the timing of Sun Kejian's return was really coincidental, and when he came back, he not only brought many masters from the Kunwu Sect, but forcibly defeated the elite disciples of the Confucian school, slapped the Confucians in the face, and then Zhu Shaoling died inexplicably. In his own house, Yan Jing finally died in a desperate battle, so that the Confucian Academy has no leader... All of this is too coincidental.
Faced with Cheng Xi's provocation, Sun Kejian replied coldly: "Mr. Cheng is too worried. Kejian's return this time was invited by Yan Jingliu. We haven't seen each other for many years, so we just came here for a small gathering for a few days."
Cheng Xi was quite surprised by Sun Kejian's calm and breezy words—
Could it be that I was wrong, didn't Yan Jingliu rush to recruit Sun Kejian to return and inherit the position of Confucian leader
With the last trace of doubt, Cheng Xilang said: "Oh? No other intention?"
"No other intention." Sun Kejian looked at Cheng Xi, sneered, and said, "After Jingliu Dazong is buried, Kejian will set off and return to Jingnan... I don't know what Mr. Cheng thinks I have any intentions?"
"Okay, that's very good." Cheng Xi smiled and said, "However, Mr. Sun has not been in Confucianism for a long time, and the position of 'sacrificing wine'..."
"I will step down from office." Sun Kejian looked deeply at Cheng Xi, and said something even more unbelievable.
In Cheng Xi's heart, his tone of joy rose a few degrees, and he said happily: "It's a pity. With Mr. Sun's great talent, I intended to fill him in as the master of Wen Pavilion..."
Sun Kejian said indifferently: "Everyone Cheng has accepted it. Kejian has been tired and lazy for a long time. It is better for everyone Cheng to hold such an important position."
Hahaha…
Cheng Xi looked up to the sky and laughed, the last haze in his heart finally dissipated.
The face of a victor is fully revealed.
"In that case... three days later, I will personally send Mr. Sun to the south."
"No need." Sun Kejian stood up with a flick of his sleeves, and said coldly: "Master Yan will be buried today, and I will leave tomorrow morning."
After speaking, he led Ye Qingxuan and the others, and walked away proudly.
"Not far away."
Cheng Xi cupped his hands and bid farewell.
"This old boy is so bad to the bone!" After leaving the banquet, Sun Kun cursed angrily.
Sun Kejian said in a low voice: "Don't make trouble. Take the disciples with you, and you'll be on your way tomorrow morning. Now it's not just about finding the traitor, but also protecting the Confucian seeds left behind by brother Jingliu."
"Of course." Ye Qingxuan and Feng Qingyan looked at each other, and said slowly: "Let's go first. We'll talk about other things later."
Feng Qingyan nodded slightly, and said: "Several, please help me protect me."
"We will do our best!" Hou Ting and Sun Kun replied together.
It was already afternoon, and everyone went back to the Houshan Bieyuan together, and took all the disciples to pack up the schedule.
Ye Qingxuan came to Monk Miaoxiu's sickbed and beside Mei Yinxue, and finally relaxed.
"Are you going to act?" Mei Yinxue asked.
Ye Qingxuan's eyes flashed brightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Of course I will do what I promised Master Yan. And I can only do it alone..."
In the dark, Ye Qingxuan still felt that his side was not so clean.
