"Yes, father taught me that, and I understand."
“I’m glad you understand. Now that the sword bone has been revealed and the four elders have all come out of seclusion, I’m sure our days won’t be easy.
You should also restrain yourself. You haven't been able to kill Song Qingbai in six years. I think someone is secretly protecting her.
Now that the seal on her has been removed, stay away from her and don't provoke her again."
Su Xuhai thought of something else and continued to give instructions.
"Yes, father. But I haven't been able to remove her sword bone for six years. Is it possible to take it away again in the future?"
A trace of worry flashed across Su Yimo's eyes. Her father had originally wanted to transfer Song Qingbai's sword bone to himself.
But he didn't expect that the little fool was under a restriction, so he failed.
"Don't worry, Yimo. After all these years, your father has naturally found a good solution. It's just that the timing is not right now. Please be patient and wait."
When Su Xuhai looked at Su Yimo, kindness flashed in his eyes. Over the years, his daughter looked more and more like his deceased wife.
"Yes, father. But what if the four elders force you to hand over the management rights of the sect? What should we do?"
"Don't be afraid. I haven't been sitting in this position for six years in vain, unprepared. Go back to your room first. Just remember not to provoke Song Qingbai when you meet him. I'll take care of the rest!"
"Okay, but dad has to take care of himself too."
Su Yimo bowed and then turned to leave.
As soon as she left the house, Bailu, Yunmeng and Jinshi came over.
"Reporting to the Acting Sect Master, the elders request to see you."
A young disciple stepped forward respectfully and bowed.
"Please let them in!"
Su Xuhai frowned slightly, and his voice became a little colder.
Humph, it came pretty quickly!
"Three elders came here at the same time, I wonder why?"
Su Xuhai stood up to greet them and asked them to pour tea, acting like a sect leader, which made Elder Yunmeng unhappy.
"The Acting Sect Master has a lot of things to do, and we old guys came here uninvited, which is really causing you trouble."
Elder Bailu picked up the teacup on the table and glanced at Su Xuhai who was sitting in the high seat, with a somewhat teasing tone in his voice.
"I was saved by Brother Changfeng, and I was willing to protect the Qingyun Sword Sect for him. Finally, after the elders came out of seclusion, I dared to relax a little, fearing that I would fail to live up to Brother Changfeng's instructions before he disappeared."
Several people were trying to guess each other's thoughts, but Su Xuhai kept saying that everything he had done in the past six years was arranged by Song Changfeng.
"What evidence do you have for what the Acting Sect Master said?"
Elder Yunmeng sneered. She always looked down upon those who were hypocritical. Moreover, if Song Changfeng really handed over the entire sect to him for temporary management, then why was Song Qingbai living in such hardship?
"Elder Yunmeng, do you not believe what Su said?"
Su Xuhai's expression changed several times. He looked at Yun Meng with sharp eyes, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his heart.
Not only Yunmeng, but also everyone else in the sect will be killed if they disobey.
"Changfeng has always been cautious in his actions. If he really intended to grant authorization, it wouldn't be just a verbal promise."
Elder Yunmeng looked at him with disdain and continued, she would not trust a single word the man in front of her said.
"Seeing that Elder Yun Yunmeng still doesn't believe it, go and get the token quickly at night."
Su Xuhai glanced at the three of them and gave instructions to the person beside him.
They remained silent until the Blood Spirit Jade appeared. Elder Yunmeng was suspicious, so she took a few steps forward and used her spiritual power to test its authenticity.
When the powerful spiritual power was injected into the Blood Spirit Jade, the blood jade in front of him emitted a faint red light.
This token was actually real. Elder Yunmeng's face changed slightly and he silently withdrew his hand.
When the Qingyun Sword Sect was first established, it used fragments of the ancient Blood Spirit Jade to make a token. This token has unique effects on cultivation and is also a holy item for healing serious injuries.
Therefore, only the current sect leader was qualified to possess it. Seeing the token was like seeing the sect leader, and their orders were considered as if they were issued by the sect leader himself. As elders, they naturally understood it better!
Elder Bailu's heart sank. He had promised Lu Qianyin to borrow the Blood Spirit Jade. Now that the token was in Su Xuhai's hands, he couldn't afford to offend him.
"If Elder Yunmeng still doesn't believe it, Elder Jinshi, who is more skilled in refining weapons, can try it out again!"
Su Xuhai glanced at the three of them with a half-smile in his eyes, with obvious mockery and sarcasm.
"No need for that. I hope the acting sect master won't be angry. Yunmeng just hasn't seen the Blood Spirit Jade for a long time, so she used her spiritual power to test it."
Elder Bailu regained his composure and quickly tried to ease the atmosphere.
In any case, the token is in his hands, and he has been in the sect for six years, so it is not something that can be driven away just like that.
Six years wasn't a short time, as the Qingyun Sword Sect was recruiting disciples. As the three of them walked towards the Sect Master's Hall, they saw many unfamiliar faces.
“No problem, the elders are highly respected, so it’s normal for them to be concerned about the position of the sect leader.
However, Brother Changfeng has not returned yet. I dare not easily unload the heavy burden he entrusted to me before he left, for fear that it would chill Brother Changfeng's heart!"
When Su Xuhai spoke, his expression was sincere, which moved the other disciples in the hall.
"Haha, what the Acting Sect Master said is true. Changfeng's entrustment cannot be casually shirked. But may I ask why Brother Changfeng's only daughter was placed in that dilapidated house, living a life of poverty?"
Elder Yunmeng chuckled after hearing this, and thought he was very funny.
"Elder Yunmeng, you've missed the chance to become the acting sect leader. Six years ago, it was a man named Ji Yunshen who volunteered to take care of the foolish Song Qingbai and moved to that quiet place."
Seeing this, a disciple standing next to Su Xuhai couldn't help but speak.
It has been six years. The sect leader has disappeared and the elders are all in seclusion. If Su Xuhai had not shouldered the burden of the entire sect on his own, how could they have stood firm among other sects that were eyeing them covetously.
Even if Su Xuhai does not have superb swordsmanship, his status in the eyes of the new disciples is extraordinary!
"Step aside, how can you speak to an elder?"
Su Xuhai shouted to stop them, and then apologized to Elder Yunmeng and others.
"Acting Sect Master, I, Yunmeng, have already emerged from seclusion. From now on, Song Qingbai will be under my personal care. Furthermore, her sword bone has already emerged, so please let me arrange everything regarding her admission to the Zhenwu Academy."
Elder Yunmeng was unhappy and wanted to lose her temper, but was stopped by Elder Bailu's eyes.
Yes, the four of them had just come out of confinement, so some things were not urgent.
"That's great. Xiaobai is Brother Changfeng's only daughter. I've been busy with sect affairs these past few years and have indeed neglected her. With Elder Yunmeng taking care of her, I can rest assured."
Su Xuhai is indeed a person who is good at disguising himself. His words are appropriate and it is difficult to find too much fault with him.
After another simple discussion, Bai Lu finally couldn't sit still anymore. He wanted to borrow the token of the Blood Spirit Jade.
