The Golden Core elders were all filled with doubt. Didn't the Grand Elder intend for Chu Mo to be the successor of the incense offering?
How come there's still a sense of "burning the boats" and "going all out" these days?
And he even wants to make him the future sect leader. With his current strength, he probably isn't up to the task.
Qin Longhu also frowned slightly. As the current village chief, he should be the one to succeed him in the future.
Although he didn't care about the position, he still felt a little uncomfortable inside.
It felt as if someone had rejected it.
But the decision was made by his great-uncle, and even though he was unhappy about it, he didn't dare to say a word.
Qin Potian ignored everyone and introduced the sect's main members to them.
Qin Potian and his three companions were the sect's supreme elders.
Qin Longhu and the other four Nascent Soul cultivators served as sect elders, responsible for daily management.
As for the other thirteen Golden Core cultivators, they served as sect stewards, responsible for instructing disciples.
After saying this, Qin Potian stared seriously at everyone and warned:
"The Holy Son's position is above all else, including ours. Everyone must unconditionally obey his commands; otherwise, there will be no leniency!"
These words shocked everyone present, leaving them speechless.
Is the Holy Son's status above all else? Even the Supreme Elders are subordinate to him?
Isn't this a bit too much?
But to them, Qin Potian was the god of Lingyin Village, the sky above them all.
No one ever thought of arguing with him; they simply had to obey.
Chu Mo's talent and the changes he brought to Lingyin Village were all seen by them, and they were secretly impressed.
With him around, there's a much greater chance of saving their families' lives.
Therefore, no one objected, especially since it was the decree of the ancestors.
After saying this, Qin Potian's gaze lingered on Qin Longhu for a few seconds.
The latter could only manage a helpless, bitter smile. What did his old uncle mean by this?
Are you afraid I won't listen? So he quickly took the lead and shouted:
"I will obey the Supreme Elder's command!"
The crowd below the stage then came to their senses and hurriedly joined in the cheers.
"I will obey the Supreme Elder's command!"
"Greetings, Holy Son!"
A thunderous cheer erupted, the sound echoing through the valley for a long time.
While feeling moved, Shi Tou and the others couldn't help but feel happy for Chu Mo.
The only uncertainty is whether we can get him drunk like we used to.
After all, as a holy son, his status is noble, and it seems a bit inappropriate to act like before.
Nangong Xiu looked at Chu Mo quietly, a smile involuntarily appearing on her lips, a smile that was captivating.
This man has already begun to shine; he will surely become as dazzling as the sun in the future.
Chu Mo was a little confused at this moment. How did he suddenly become the Holy Son of the Xuan Tian Sect?
Although he was surprised, he did not refuse, seeing it more as a responsibility.
The burden was heavy, but he was fearless and willing to shoulder it.
Everything he has is given to him by his master. Since his master thinks he can do it, he will do his best to lead everyone out of this world!
After finishing his speech, Qin Potian immediately directed people to distribute spirit stones according to their cultivation level and talent.
There were so many spirit stones that even those with average talent received enough to sustain their cultivation around the clock.
The main point is that as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely have access to resources.
Everyone moved past their previous worries and became excited and in high spirits.
That night.
Chu Mo went to Brother Stone's house again and enjoyed a sumptuous bear meat feast.
Several cases of various fine wines were brought out.
This time, Nangong Xiu didn't need to be invited; she silently followed behind Chu Mo and joined in without a word.
Although the crowd was surprised by this scene, they had become immune to it and didn't find it too strange.
It seems that this golden phoenix from Lingyin Village has truly fallen for Brother Chu.
The only ones who could make this aloof and enchanting girl, who had always been a loner since childhood, follow him like this are the Chu brothers.
At Chu Mo's request, there was no Holy Son at the table; whoever called out the wrong name would be punished with three cups of wine.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and that slight awkwardness vanished instantly.
That night.
Everyone enjoyed the drinks, and Nangong Xiu did not leave midway through.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, everyone said goodbye and left, making various excuses not to leave with the two of them.
Chu Mo smiled wryly to himself, but he didn't try to hide anything and walked alongside Nangong Xiu openly, though neither of them spoke.
When they returned to a quiet, dilapidated wooden house, Nangong Xiucai looked at him quietly.
"I have arrived."
"oh."
Chu Mo, who was about to turn back, stopped and looked at the dark courtyard, asking curiously:
"Aren't your parents home?"
"They went hunting in the mountains together when I was three years old, and they died."
Nangong Xiu's eyes were calm, and her tone was completely unwavering as she spoke, as if she had long been accustomed to and had come to terms with it.
But Chu Mo, with his sharp eyes, still noticed her hands clenching slightly in the moonlight.
A pang of heartache flashed through his mind, but he said nothing and offered no comfort.
She must have heard countless words of comfort since she was a child.
But to think that words can soothe someone's inner pain is just wishful thinking.
In these kinds of situations, the person involved has to endure it all on their own; no one else can help.
"Next time, I'll bring you a gift."
"Okay!" The girl smiled, her eyes bright and gentle.
The usual aloofness in his eyes vanished without a trace at this moment, like a snow lotus blooming after a snowfall.
Holy, beautiful, and breathtaking.
Chu Mo had to admit that Nangong Xiu was absolutely stunning at this moment, and couldn't help but praise her:
"Actually, you look very beautiful when you smile. Try to smile more often."
"Okay, I'll head back now!"
After the girl finished speaking, she quickly lowered her head, turned around, and walked into the small courtyard behind her.
The moment she turned around, Chu Mo clearly saw her face turn red, her beauty as radiant and ethereal as a celestial being.
...
Early the next morning,
Chu Mo and his master arrived at the edge of the Burial God Abyss once again.
"Although you have the Transcendent Array Plate, the malevolent energy inside is terrifying, so you must be extremely careful."
"If things are not going to work, retreat immediately; never be reckless."
Qin Potian was still worried and couldn't help but give him more instructions.
"Master, please don't worry, I'll come out after just one look."
Chu Mo nodded quickly.
This wasn't his first time in there; he was quite experienced and had no worries whatsoever.
After he finished speaking, he made a thought and instantly disappeared from the spot.
