Beast Taming Chapter 118: The Position of the Sect Leader

Shi Yan turned around and looked at Tang Xi in surprise, who was kneeling on the ground and shouting "Master". The expression on his face was extremely weird. It was the first time he saw Tang Xi in such an embarrassed state. He couldn't help but look at the woman flying towards him curiously, or to be exact, a woman.

The graceful woman was wearing a dress made of bright and colorful silk, and earrings made of beautifully carved jade. She wore jewelry made of colored glaze and black jade, and the rare pearls dotted her face to illuminate her beautiful face. She wore shoes embroidered with exquisite patterns and a gauze skirt as light as mist, which faintly exuded the fragrance of orchids and slowly floated down on the eaves of the main hall.

As soon as she stepped into the venue, all the senior members of the Huajian Sect were extremely surprised.

She glanced at Tang Xi, nodded and asked him to stand up, and said with a smile: "It has been twelve years since we last met. Your cultivation has improved a lot and you have already broken through to the Golden Core stage. It seems that during the time I was in seclusion, you did not slack off and fell behind in your efforts!"

Tang Xi lowered his head and said, "I am ashamed."

"Oh? Why do you feel ashamed?" The man was very puzzled and asked in doubt.

Tang Xi suddenly knelt down, kowtowed three times, and sobbed slightly, "I am an unfilial disciple, and I am ashamed of the ancestors of Huajian Sect. I did not persuade the master properly, so that Huajian Sect fell into such a critical moment of life and death today. Master, please punish me severely!"

She turned her head and looked at the mountain gate a few miles away. There were already a large number of cultivators who were watching the excitement. In front of them, the disciples of Zhongtong Jianmen were blocking the mountain gate and confronting the disciples of their own sect.

She frowned slightly and asked in a soft voice, "What on earth is going on?"

Tang Xi nodded in agreement, and then he told her the whole story, but he exaggerated it and said all kinds of bad things about Hua Ruo, such as she didn't listen to advice and insisted on her own way, she was causing trouble and didn't care about the sect, etc. "I feel guilty. Although I know that things can't be like this, I am just an elder and have no right to refute the arrangement of the master. I didn't expect to end up like this. If I had known earlier, I would have stopped the master even if I was in danger of being kicked out of the mountain gate. Knowing earlier is worth a lot of money. This is all my fault. Master, please punish me severely. I only hope that Huajian Sect can overcome the difficulties, continue the incense, and prosper forever!"

She didn't say anything, but just turned her head and looked at the confrontation ahead.

"That was the previous leader of the Huajian Sect, Yu Wanqing!" Hua Ruo explained when she saw Shi Yan's puzzled expression.

"The previous leader?" Shi Yan was shocked. She was actually the previous leader of the Huajian Sect!

"That's right. After Sect Leader Yu passed the position of Sect Leader to me, she went into seclusion to practice. She never came out for a full twelve years." Hua Ruo explained, "So it's normal that you don't recognize her. Not only you, but many disciples in the sect don't know her either. After all, you were all still young when she was in seclusion."

Shi Yan nodded. Twelve years ago, he was only eight years old. When he was eight years old, he was eroded by the extreme cold and was abandoned by his family and thrown into the ancestral tomb. In the same year, he left Tianmen Territory and wandered around, looking for a way to restore his body.

But he was a little surprised. Hua Ruo looked only slightly older than him, so she should have been very young twelve years ago, no more than twelve or thirteen years old. However, even though she was still young, the former head of the sect passed the position of head to her, which surprised him a little. To take over the position of head at such a young age, how talented must she be? At least not less than himself in his prime, which was really amazing.

He also noticed that Hua Ruo did not use honorifics when talking about the former head, as if he was just a passerby. But at this moment he did not think about it too much, because the former head had already arrived in front of her.

Yu Wanqing came to the two of them, looked at Shi Yan intently, then turned to Hua Ruo and asked, "Is this your disciple, Shi Yan?"

Although her tone was calm, not like the tone of a superior talking to a junior, but rather like a pair of friends chatting, there was a hint of anger in her expression.

Hua Ruo's heart was as clear as a mirror. She nodded and replied, "Yes, he is my disciple."

Yu Wanqing frowned slightly, thinking, according to Tang Xi's words, all the causes of this disaster were caused by this statement. Although Hua Ruo was eager to take care of his disciples, he really did not consider the overall situation, which led to the Huajian School being in such a predicament.

"Master Yu, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. You are even more charming and elegant than before!" Gongyang Yichen greeted him with his hands clasped and laughed loudly.

Yu Wanqing smiled awkwardly, "Brother Gongyang, long time no see."

"Yes, sister, you have been in seclusion for twelve years. I wonder how many people's hearts you have broken." Gongyang Yichen shook his head and sighed, as if reminiscing, "Thinking back to the late Qing Dynasty, you were the dream lover of those young men. I remember that when they heard the news of your seclusion, many people were sad and upset."

Yu Wanqing sighed slightly, "Brother Gongyang, please stop making fun of me. How can I compare to you, Brother Gongyang? It's just that you married so early, which made many sisters cry!"

"Time is unforgiving."

Seeing the two of them like this, as if they were very familiar with each other, the others could not help but be stunned. Then they remembered that the two were of the same generation, so it was normal for them to be familiar with each other, but they did not expect that the relationship between them would be so good.

Suddenly, Gongyang Yichen's face changed, and his voice suddenly changed and he said coldly: "After reminiscing about the past, we should talk about business. Since you have come out of seclusion, does that mean that you have the final say in Huajian Sect now?"

Yu Wanqing hesitated a little and turned his head to look at Hua Ruo.

"What? You can't speak?"

Down the mountain, Tang Xi frowned and thought, "Why doesn't she just say yes? What is she considering?"

So, she raised her head and shouted loudly: "Senior Gongyang, what you said is wrong. The person with the highest status in my Huajian Sect is my master. Naturally, she has the final say in Huajian Sect!"

She clasped her hands together and said in a pleading tone: "Master, for the future of Huajian Sect, please make a decision!"

"Master, for the future of Huajian Sect!"

The disciples who were hidden in Huajian Valley and bribed by Tang Xi shouted loudly. The other disciples were confused. Although they were dissatisfied with Zhongtong Jianmen's actions and no one believed Gongyang Yichen's words, there were too many unreasonable places in it and they were puzzled.

Although the Huajian Sect is composed entirely of women, they are all strong-willed women. Facing such a powerful Zhongtong Jianmen, they are not afraid, but instead arouse the courage that is usually hidden in their hearts.

"No, we can't compromise. Zhongtong Jianmen must have some conspiracy behind this. We can't let him succeed!"

Tang Xi's eyes narrowed and he snorted coldly, "The sect is in a critical moment, why are you still trying to be a hero!"

"Elder Tang is wrong!" Shi Yan turned around and saw Mingxiang coming from a distance on a colorful lotus platform. She retorted, "Everyone has seen the violence of Zhongtong Jianmen. If we compromise today, what will happen if they come again? Compromise again? Although my Huajian Sect is made up of women, there are no cowards. We are not to the point where we can be bullied at will!"

"You...you!" Tang Xi was furious when he heard this. He pointed at Mingxiang and shouted, "Bold Mingxiang, who do you think you are talking to? Who are you? You have no right to speak here. Do you still have the elders and the Huajian Sect in your eyes?"

"Elder Tang, please calm down. Mingxiang is concerned about the safety of Huajian Sect, so she is so contradictory. But every word Mingxiang says is sincere and she is thinking about the future of Huajian Sect."

Tang Xi waved her sleeves, "What a clever little kid, you are good at confusing right and wrong. Today, the enemy is at the gates, what future do you have if you don't compromise? I don't think you are thinking about the future of Huajian Sect..." As she said that, she looked at Shi Yan and sneered, "You are thinking about your little lover, Shi Yan!"

"You..." Hearing her slander like this, I was very angry, but I didn't know how to refute.

Shi Yan was furious when he saw Tang Xi bullying Ming Xiang, and he shouted, "Gossip, stop spreading rumors and misleading people!"

"I am spreading rumors and misleading the people? I don't know who is spreading rumors and misleading the people, inciting everyone to push the Huajian Sect into the abyss." She turned to Yu Wanqing, "Master, please judge for yourself who is right and who is wrong!"

Seeing the people below talking to each other, Yu Wanqing's face darkened, "Don't you think you've lost enough?"

Gongyang Yichen crossed his arms and laughed, "Sister Wanqing, it seems that you still have some internal affairs to deal with. How about this, you deal with your internal affairs, and I will do mine, and we will not interfere with each other." After that, he waved his sleeves, "Tear down the mountain gate!"

"Yes, Master!"

Suddenly, bursts of light flashed, and bizarre natal spirits appeared, summoning spirit beasts. Suddenly, the beasts in front of the Huajian Sect's mountain gate roared together, echoing for dozens of miles around the Huajian Valley, making people change color at the sound.

Seeing this, Yu Wanqing looked at Gongyang Yichen and asked, "Brother Gongyang, is there really no room for relief?"

Gongyang Yichen shook his head, "It's not me from Zhongtong Jianmen who forced you, but your Huajian Sect's people who forced me!"

Yu Wanqing's hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched into fists, her brows were furrowed, like a knot that could not be untied. Everyone knew that she was hesitating and struggling.

Seeing her like this, Gongyang Yichen thought to himself, "Since you are so undecided, let me help you!"

"Everyone from Zhongtong Jianmen, listen up and attack!"

Yu Wanqing's face suddenly changed, "Brother Gong Yang, wait!"

Gongyang Yichen raised his hand to stop everyone, looked at Yu Wanqing, and waited for her decision.

She glanced at Hua Ruo apologetically, sighed slightly, waved her hand, and said weakly: "I, as the previous generation of the head, order that Hua Ruo be removed from the position of the head of Huajian Sect and pass it on to Tang Xi."

She looked at Tang Xi, who was surprised, and said calmly: "Tang Xi, from now on, you are the head of the sect, and you will be the judge of all matters in the sect!"

Tang Xi was trembling all over, laughing wildly in her heart. She had waited for this moment for too long, and today she finally got what she wanted!

"Tang Xi, thank you, Master!"

ps: Sorry, something happened in business recently.
