Qin Ming settled them down and went to Yaoshan again.
"Decided?" Elder Yaoshan sat on the top of the mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, gently caressed by the mountain breeze. He was like a rock with vicissitudes, day after day, year after year.
Qin Ming bowed his body and saluted: "Thank you for giving me the opportunity, and thank you for your recognition of me. I am very touched. But I may not know what to do. I... have another question."
"Speak." Elder Yaoshan turned his back to Qin Ming.
"How do you deal with the Great Elder?"
"The Great Elder did some things too radically, but after all, he didn't really harm the Qingyun Sect. There is no real evidence pointing to him in the massacre of your Qin family in Daqingshan. We will talk to him first and put him in confinement for a period of time depending on the situation."
Qin Ming waited for a while, but Elder Yaoshan didn't speak any more. "That's it? Then why did you call Elder Mu Bai back?"
"Just in case." Elder Yaoshan received bad news from the suzerain. After secretly investigating the elder, they found some very serious problems. Most of the elders in the sect are close to the great elders, and these elders have been in frequent contact recently.
They wanted to take down the Great Elder directly and ask him what he wanted to do. But they can't, if they directly detain the Great Elder without a suitable reason, it is likely to cause violent turmoil in the sect. So their plan is to have an interview first, and have a frank and honest discussion. As for how to deal with it, it will be decided at that time.
Qin Ming was silent, obviously unacceptable. Just shut it down and it's over? The Great Elder has a vicious heart and secretly solicits cronies, so he is not a kind person. If I keep him here for a day, I will have no peace for a day, and I may do something that hurts him and the Qin family at any time.
And his own strength is getting stronger and stronger, which is even more stimulating to the Great Elder.
Just as he did not allow him to live, the Great Elder would not allow him to live either.
"We understand your feelings, but the Great Elder's strength and status are here. If we don't have a reason to convince everyone, it is impossible to kill him."
Qin Ming's tone became cold. "When he killed me that day, do you have a reason? I seriously remind you that the Great Elder is not a kind person, he can do anything."
"The Great Elder is ambitious, and he is also a threat to you, but the solution to world affairs is not just killing."
"Give me a solution." Qin Ming was no longer polite.
"We will talk to the Great Elder and try to give you an apology."
"Everything in the world is solved with an apology, so what's the use of a sword!" Qin Ming turned around and left.
"Wait! I haven't finished my sentence yet."
Qin Ming turned his back to him, with a firm attitude: "If you don't kill the elder, I'm sorry for my parents who have no bones left, and I'm sorry for the suffering of the Qin family and the whole city."
"If you do things based on loyalty, why is the suzerain called the suzerain? The suzerain must not only have courage, but also be fair, otherwise how can he convince the public. The great elder is the head of the elders of the sect, and he is also the executor of the sect. His status is second only to the suzerain , Unless it is a big mistake, it is absolutely impossible to deal with it."
After Elder Yaoshan said a few serious words, his tone slowed down slightly: "I watched the Great Elder grow up. He is good at forbearance and ambitious. If you are appointed as suzerain, he will never give up."
"Are you going to deal with it or not?"
"We won't dispose of it, but you can."
"What's the meaning?"
"You come to fight him! We support him behind the scenes." Elder Yaoshan could feel that the First Elder was a little weird, and he could also sense danger. But standing at his height, it is impossible to do things based on preferences, and he cannot make decisions based on guesswork. He needs to consider the overall situation and needs to proceed step by step.
If the Great Elder is directly suppressed, it will inevitably cause resistance from other elders and cause internal turmoil in Qing Yunzong. So after discussing with the suzerain, he reached a unified opinion. Let Qin Ming fight against the Great Elder. First, he can stay out of the matter and avoid civil strife. Second, he can temper Qin Ming. Third, he can use Qin Ming's confrontation with the Great Elder to stimulate the dull atmosphere of Qingyunzong. By the way, let's see how many people are the Great Elder. cronies.
Qin Ming quickly understood their purpose: "Do you have to be so smooth every time you do things?"
"Standing in our position, we must be considerate when doing things. After all, the Great Elder has done a lot for Qingyun Sect over the years, and he deserves credit for his hard work."
"How do you support me?" Qin Ming reluctantly accepted, and it was unrealistic for them to deal with the Great Elder directly.
"See how you fight."
"I'll go back and think about it. But I still want to remind you that the Great Elder is not the kind of person who sits and waits to die. You should be more careful."
Qin Ming bid farewell to Elder Yaoshan and went down the mountain.
These two old slickers really thought of everything. However, from Elder Yaoshan's words, Qin Ming still vaguely felt his determination to deal with the Great Elder. Standing in his position, it was not easy to make such a decision. This old man is more courageous than the Suzerain.
Before leaving the medicine mountain, Qin Ming went to the medicine garden where Lingxue retreated. "Senior Sister Lingxue, I'm leaving tomorrow, you can go to Thunder Ancient City if you have time."
Ling Xue was practicing, and the boudoir was covered with frost, even the windowsills were covered with ice crystals, and the temperature was extremely low. She said lightly: "Have you negotiated with Master?"
"It's not ideal, it's not bad, it's basically settled."
"You are too sharp, you should learn from the wisdom of the master and suzerain, and proceed step by step, calmly, there is no harm."
"Why do you have to live as a teenager when you are a teenager? What kind of age should have what kind of life."
"Unreasonable."
Qin Ming smiled, and lay on the window edge: "Zongli disciples will basically go out to practice when they reach the Xuanwu Realm, will you go out?"
"Yaoshan is fine, I will leave for a while."
"Where are you going?"
"You are very interested?"
"Just ask."
"To be determined." Ling Xue was concentrating on cultivation, her whole body was surrounded by white mist and filled with icy cold air. The temperature in the room was very low, and the vases were covered with ice crystals. She practiced quietly for a while, and noticed that Qin Ming's breath was still outside the window: "What's the matter?"
"I think... I should come and thank you."
"why?"
"A lot of things you've done for me."
"I'm here for the remnant soul in your body, you're welcome. Is there anything else?"
"Gone."
Ling Xue remained silent again, and continued her cultivation.
"Actually, I have something else to do."
"You want to ask me for help again?"
"Almost." Qin Ming smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Let's talk." Ling Xue got used to it.
"Tell me about your master?" Qin Ming didn't know much about Elder Yaoshan, and couldn't see through him, so he wanted to learn more from Ling Xue.
"Will you believe what I say?"
"letter."
"Master is a very strict person. He swore to dedicate the rest of his life to Qing Yunzong a long time ago. You can think that the people in Qing Yun Zong who really think about Qing Yun Zong and those who can sacrifice their lives to protect Qing Yunzhong's honor are only he!"
"You mean, I can trust him?"
"It depends on what you do. If your goals are the same, and both are for the future of Qing Yunzong, you can trust it. If it is other things, I can't guarantee it."
Qin Ming pondered for a while: "What's your master's attitude towards the Great Elder?"
"Master has two kinds of people, those who protect Qingyun Sect and those who harm Qingyun Sect. The former Great Elder was in the former category, but now he is being classified into the latter category."
Qin Ming knew it well, thanked him and left.
