On the other side, after having lunch, Xiao Yuhan went to the sect leader's villa. After not seeing him for so long, the sect leader was still in good spirits.
After recounting the events of the past few days to his senior brother in detail, Ye Qingyun sighed and patted Xiao Yuhan on the shoulder, "Junior brother, you've worked hard. You've brought honor to our Heavenly Sword Sect on this trip to the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall. I'm very pleased with you."
Xiao Yuhan thought to himself that he hadn't really worked hard at all, but this sect leader was really blindly praising him. However, Xiao Yuhan was already used to it. He knew the original setting of the book very well. This sect leader, Ye Qingyun, was the one who trusted Xiao Yuhan the most. But this feeling was not bad. At least in the Heavenly Sword Sect, with the sect leader's protection, Xiao Yuhan was living a comfortable life.
After a moment, Ye Qingyun suddenly spoke up and said, "As for Jiang Yining, whom you mentioned, she is not only the sect leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect, but she also said that she would come to visit during the Heavenly Sword Sect Martial Arts Tournament. We can meet her then."
"Speaking of the sect's martial arts competition, what are your plans, Senior Brother?" Xiao Yuhan asked.
"As usual, but after the sect martial arts competition ends, the leaders of our various sects will sit down together to discuss the establishment of the Dao Alliance. At that time, after the meeting, all the immortal sects will jointly launch an action. This will be the largest alliance of immortal sects in a thousand years. As for the specific details of the alliance, you will know after the Dao Alliance negotiations are over!" Ye Qingyun said unhurriedly.
Xiao Yuhan couldn't help but sigh. The plot had completely deviated from the main storyline. However, he realized that the deviation from the main storyline was probably not his fault, since the major events in this era had little to do with him.
Xiao Yuhan was not the one who led the change; she was merely a participant, or rather, not even a participant, but just an observer.
So now that things have come to this, he no longer worries too much and decides to take it one step at a time.
However, Ye Qingyun's next words almost made him spit out his tea.
"Junior Brother Xiao... I'm going to recommend you to be the leader of the Dao Alliance. What do you think?"
Xiao Yuhan was stunned, his hand trembled, and he spilled tea. "Senior brother, we can't joke like this. How could I be qualified to be the alliance leader? The Heavenly Sword Sect is the most respected sect in the immortal world. It is only right that the position of alliance leader belongs to our Heavenly Sword Sect. Senior brother, you are kind-hearted and highly respected in the martial world. You are the rightful leader!"
Ye Qingyun shook his head. “Of course I know that I am the most suitable person to serve as the leader of this alliance. But as you can see, my strength has declined since I lost my arm, and I am no longer qualified to be the leader of the immortal sects. Moreover, our Heavenly Sword Sect has many affairs to attend to, and recently many troublesome things have happened near Lingsu City. We are simply too busy to handle them all. That is why I thought of finding someone to represent our Heavenly Sword Sect. Although your senior brother Liu Jiantang has good cultivation, he is too sharp and arrogant. He is definitely not suitable to be the leader of the alliance. As for your third senior sister, she has been focusing on cultivation since she went into seclusion two years ago. I am afraid she has no intention of taking on a major responsibility. In addition, your third senior sister has a cold personality and I am afraid that she is not as smooth as you, junior brother, in communicating with fellow cultivators from various immortal sects. As for the junior sister, there is no need to say more. Although her personality is very suitable in all aspects, her strength is not enough. Therefore, only you, junior brother Xiao, can shoulder such a heavy responsibility.”
Xiao Yuhan wanted to decline, but he knew his own limitations, so he immediately refused: "Senior brother, I can't do it, I'm not qualified..."
At this point, Xiao Yuhan noticed the empty sleeve on her senior brother's left arm and felt a pang of heartache. Then, remembering that this foolish senior brother had become like this in the Southern Frontier in order to stop her senior brother Liu Jiantang, she fell silent.
As the eldest disciple, Ye Qingyun was like the eldest son of a family—brave and responsible. He was willing to make silent sacrifices so that his younger siblings could get along harmoniously. Xiao Yuhan felt a pang of guilt. He put down his teacup, took a few steps back, and knelt on one knee to pay his respects, saying, "Sect Leader Senior Brother! I would never steal your thunder. You are the Sect Leader of our Heavenly Sword Sect, and I will always follow you, protect the sect, and serve it. So please don't belittle yourself. Even if you've lost a hand, so what? Senior Brother Liu still has Senior Sister Shen, Junior Sister, and me. We are all your hands. From now on, wherever you point, we will go!"
Ye Qingyun quickly stood up, "Junior brother, what are you doing? Get up at once!"
Xiao Yuhan pushed Ye Qingyun away, "Senior brother, you have always doted on your junior brother since we were little, so he often gets carried away. But rules are rules. You are our senior brother, that's true, but you are also the head of the Heavenly Sword Sect. I cannot overstep my bounds."
At this point, Ye Qingyun quickly helped Xiao Yuhan up. "Why are we, as fellow disciples, talking about this? Never mind... let's talk about these things later. Let's talk about other things. By the way, you just said that you brought back Senior Yang Zui's sword. Where is it now?"
Xiao Yuhan stood up and replied, "The sword is still with me. I plan to send it to the Sword Tomb. I believe that someone will eventually be able to gain the sword's approval."
"Very well then. In that case, Junior Brother, please return the old master's sword to the Sword Tomb first. I have nothing to do here for the time being. After you finish your business, come to my place for dinner tonight as a welcome-back dinner for you and Junior Nephew Bai Yao!"
After listening, Xiao Yuhan bowed and took his leave.
After Xiao Yuhan left, two figures suddenly emerged from behind the screen behind Ye Qingyun. They were Liu Jiantang and Shen Huairu. Ye Qingyun said with a helpless expression, "You see, Junior Brother Xiao isn't what you thought!"
Liu Jiantang seemed somewhat embarrassed and said, "I didn't doubt Junior Brother Xiao. Didn't you suggest pushing Junior Brother Xiao out to be the alliance leader? Why do you have to prove anything to us? Don't we know Junior Brother Xiao's character? Why bother?"
