The gap in strength left Lin Buyan with no choice. He had vowed to entrust his life to Lingxiao Sword Sect and hated his identity as a member of the Xuanyin Division immensely. He was afraid that Hu Er would make the matter known and he was even more afraid of the disappointed looks of his fellow disciples.
The situation was not favorable to him, so he had no choice but to offer a huge sum of gold and kneel down at Fox's feet.
Due to his status as the Nine Swordsman, the files were burned on the spot. Fox Two assured Lin Buyan that unless there was chaos in the world, he would only be the head of the Lingxiao Sword Sect throughout his life and would have nothing to do with the Xuanyin Division.
A hibernation card.
Speaking of which, Fox Erbuzi's plan to rule the world is more or less related to Lin Buyan. Having tasted the sweetness of picking fruits, he has become quite interested in planting trees.
Afterwards, Mo Buxiu came out of seclusion, became possessed by the devil and his cultivation level plummeted. After being away for half a year, he returned to the mountain, dragging his half-crippled body and asked Lin Buyan to meet him in the grove at the back of the mountain.
Lin Buyan sensed something was wrong, but didn't think much about it. Holding the Great Power Heaven in his hand, he dared to make a cultivator in the fusion stage kneel down and beg him not to die, so how could he be afraid of a half-crippled Mo Buxiu.
It's so funny. There's no need to be afraid. The junior brother is a thing of the past. Now it's the eldest brother's world.
Then he was beaten by Mo Buxiu, and it was useless even with Da Shi Tian.
Mo Buxiu did not mention the specific reason. Before leaving, he left a word to warn Lin Buyan not to betray his master.
Since then, Mo Buxiu never returned to Lingxiao Sword Sect.
Lin Buyan vaguely guessed that his identity was exposed, but he didn't dare to make it public. When questioned by the disciples opposite him, he vaguely expressed his emotional entanglement, which stirred up the gossip of Lingxiao Sword Sect which has been hot for many years.
Lu Bei: “…”
Good man, it turns out that you are the number one guy in Lingxiao Sword Sect!
Lin Buyan's life was full of ups and downs. Lu Bei summarized three points.
"Lin Yinwei, you were beaten by my master."
"You were beaten by my godmother."
"You were beaten by my master."
"… "
Lin Buyan curled his lips and refused to participate in this topic. It was well known that the head of Lingxiao Sword Sect, Lin, was a modest gentleman who never liked fighting.
Being beaten was necessary due to the situation and was just a temporary solution.
Lin Buyan revealed his identity, and Lu Bei's murderous aura disappeared. He patted Lin Buyan on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Thank you for your hard work over the years. You have done a good job. Keep up the hard work. The organization will not treat meritorious officials unfairly."
Lin Buyan slapped the hand on his shoulder and snorted coldly, "With this master's comprehensive plan, Lingxiao Sword Sect can rest easy, but Lu Ziwei intervened and your two salaries attracted the attention of the elders of Tianjian Sect. The blame was put on me, and now I have to express my opinion."
You've been thinking too much. Lingxiao Sword Sect did not appear in the subsequent versions. You have ultimately let yourself down!
Lu Bei replied in his heart, and said: "In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between me and you is not as hostile as fire and water, but it is also a nepotism. The frame-up of the Heavenly Sword Sect is too unoriginal."
"The process doesn't matter, the result is what matters. What they want is for this leader to express his stance."
The conversation between the two was quite interesting. One called himself Purple Guard and the other called himself the head of the sect, and both wanted to surpass the other in status.
"Then express your opinion!"
Lu Bei shrugged and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether I stay or go. The key is the safety of Lingxiao Sword Sect. First stabilize Tianjian Sect. When the world is in chaos, Lingxiao Sword Sect will decisively distance itself from it. The situation is basically set."
"It's not that easy. The Heavenly Sword Sect is not a pushover. The Iron Sword Alliance has great power over the world. I don't know how long this chaotic world will last. If the Sky Sword Sect wants to survive..."
“How dare a mere Silver Guard speak so rudely? Let me, the Purple Guard, tell you that the Iron Sword Alliance won’t last long. As long as you hold on until the day when the world is in chaos, the Lingxiao Sword Sect will be safe.” Lu Bei raised his hand to interrupt and made the final decision.
"Oh, Junior Brother, do you have inside information?" Lin Buyan raised his eyebrows and asked anxiously.
"This is a serious matter, and it's not something that a Silver Guard like you can know. Just do your job well. I'll let you know the specific situation when the time comes." Lu Bei said in an official tone.
Speaking of this, he still found it incredible.
In the entire Lingxiao Sword Sect, from Grand Master Baihu, the various uncles in between, the senior brothers and sisters, and the not very smart nephew, only Lin Buyan does not get along with him. And this enemy turns out to be one of his own.
What a pity! If it had been a little later, we could have given our friendly soldiers a proper burial.
Lu Bei was unwilling to reveal the information, and Lin Buyan was furious. He snorted coldly and said, "In that case, let's talk about the statement. Let me be frank. The statement of this leader must be extremely tough. Don't get angry when the time comes!"
"It's up to you. As long as Lingxiao Sword Sect is safe, this Purple Guard doesn't mind."
"really?"
"Master was still concerned about Lingxiao Sword Sect before he left. Uncle Lu tried every means to help me return to the mountain. Senior Sister Bai taught me the basics of cultivation. Senior Brother was kind and took good care of me... I am sincerely convinced by all the kindness. Although I don't say it, I always remember it in my heart."
At this point, Lu Bei glanced at Lin Buyan and said arrogantly, "Otherwise, why do you think I, the Purple Guard, had the motivation to climb to my current position?"
"Make money."
"… "
Lu Bei scratched his head after hearing this, thinking that Master Lin was indeed a modest gentleman, and he was really good at judging people.
"Making money is just a means to an end. In order to blend in with the officialdom and not be too conspicuous, I violated my conscience and exploited the people."
"I see. Master Ziwei must have worked hard to make money!"
"It's not bad, some people want to fish but can't!"
Lu Bei waved his hand in front of Lin Buyan and said, "Lin Yinwei, look at my five fingers and guess how much this Purple Guard has earned?"
"Five hundred... No, fifty million."
"Your vision is too narrow. Poverty has limited your imagination. Can you call 50 million money?"
"Five, five hundred million?!"
Lin Buyan uttered with a trembling voice, and for a moment he began to hallucinate. He felt a golden light covering the sky in front of him, and at the source of the light was an annoying pretty boy.
"That's about it. These are what we have on the surface. The rest of the resources related to cultivation are hard to estimate, such as spirit crystals. Their market prices have been rising and falling, so they are not counted." After finally catching someone, Lu Bei couldn't wait to show off what "not worth a billion" meant.
"You are such a daredevil, aren't you afraid that your crime will be exposed and the emperor will punish you?"
Lin Buyan swallowed his saliva and his scalp went numb. He felt that the Xuanyin Division was corrupt to the core and there was no hope for it.
"What is there to be afraid of? Ningzhou Lu Ziwei is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and never eats alone. Your Majesty has made more money than I have."
Lu Bei curled his lips and said, "This guy coveted my outstanding cultivation aptitude and thought I was a potential stock. He even sent the eldest princess to seduce me. Fortunately, I was cautious enough and never forgot to protect myself when I went out, so my innocent body was not tainted."
Is that so
Lin Buyan firmly refused to believe it. He only knew that Lu Ziwei had taken care of everything and the five hundred million yuan was safely in his pocket. He immediately rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "My good nephew, Lingxiao Sword Sect has been spending more than it earns recently. We have sold everything we have and are using all our strength to organize the Iron Sword Conference. Your uncle Lu even pawned his jewelry box. See if you can help with three or five hundred million yuan. You don't need that little bit of money anyway."
"Lin Yinwei, not only did you not give Shangguan a red envelope, but you also dared to ask me for money?"
Lu Bei snorted, "Master is very kind to me, I can't treat her badly. I will give her 20 million yuan later and buy some beautiful jewelry boxes. As for Lingxiao Sword Sect... stop pretending to be poor. I don't believe you will do a business that loses money."
Lin Buyan refused to accept the defeat and said frankly that he had no talent for business and that he was losing money in every business he did. The entire Lingxiao Sword Sect was on the verge of making ends meet.
Lu Bei didn't believe a word of Lin Buyan's lies, but he was quite generous to Lingxiao Sword Sect. He promised that after the fall of the Iron Sword Alliance, he would open the secret realm for everyone to enter and mine resources for cultivation.
Having gotten the benefit, Lin Buyan nodded in satisfaction. He looked at Lu Bei again with a much more pleasing look than before. Suddenly he thought of something and frowned, "Speaking of the secret realm, this Sect Leader has a question. You said you believed in the eldest brother, so why did you pretend to be him in the secret realm and frame him for a bunch of troubles?"
If one's virtue is not worthy of his position, there will be disaster; if one is not worthy of wealth, there will be damage. Lin Buyan is very confident in his son, but he is not worthy of Lu Bei's reputation, and trouble will arise sooner or later.
"Lin Yinwei wants to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Of course it's true."
"The world only knows Senior Sister Bai Jin, but not Senior Brother Lin Yu. I can't stand it, so I'll help him become famous."
"What about lies?"
"I don't like you, the headmaster, and you are almost the same. You have been suppressing your thoughts for too long and I am sure there will be a fight between you and me. My uncle, brothers, and sisters treat me very well. You are a close friend of theirs. I can't kill you, I can only beat you half to death."
Lu Bei said bluntly, "I didn't know you were a soldier under my command before. In order to protect Lingxiao Sword Sect, I planned to seize the position of the leader. I personally led the people to abandon the dark and join the light, and build momentum for my eldest brother, so that he could take over the position of the leader one day."
I see.
Lin Buyan understood what was going on. Not only was he not angry at Lu Bei's blatant plan to seize the throne, he also highly praised him.
There is no other reason. Considering the safety of Lingxiao Sword Sect, this plan is highly feasible.
"By the way, I also happen to have a question that I have been holding back for a long time."
Lu Bei looked around and whispered, "Senior Sister Bai... isn't she Princess Qingqian?"
"What?!"
Lin Buyan was speechless for a moment, looking at Lu Bei in surprise: "Why is your senior sister a remnant of Qingqian? Where did you hear this gossip? Can't you just hope that she gets better?"
“It’s not the best, otherwise it’s too difficult.”
Lu Bei heaved a sigh of relief and explained, "Master left early. At that time, I, the Purple Guard, didn't know much about Lingxiao Sword Sect. I thought you were the leader of the rebels and that my sister was also full of black spots. In order to plan carefully, we all prepared for the worst."
The two of them put aside their doubts and formally discussed how to act.
As for the acting, both said there was no problem, but they had disagreements on the script.
Lin Buyan believed that in order to lure the Tianjian Sect into the trap, Lu Bei had to be driven out of Beijun Mountain in a very miserable way, and it would be best if he was beaten to a pulp by the sect leader.
The charges were all ready: bullying the weak and humiliating the elder brother, stealing the sect's treasure, plotting to become the sect leader, and attempting to humiliate the elder sister...
"He~~tui!"
Lu Bei spitted out, "Stop talking nonsense here. I'm not exaggerating or slandering you. I'm just an ordinary person. Are the crimes listed above something that a Purple Guard could have done? You believe it, but the elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect don't believe it!"
"Master, don't underestimate yourself. I have carefully considered these crimes. I think you are capable of doing them."
"Don't give me that crap. Even if I was kicked out of the mountain gate, I left with honor. It was because you, a villain, got jealous and slandered me and framed me."
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows and said, "How about this, I will suffer a little loss and follow my master's old path, and be charged with beating up the head of the sect in public."
"What?!"
"I have made up my mind. Anyway, it's not the first time that Lin Yinwei has been beaten. It doesn't matter if he gets beaten again. I will try my best to be gentle."
Lin Buyan: “…”
Damn brat, do you really think that this leader’s great power is just a decoration
