It has been two days since the competition ended.
Xiao Chengyan missed Nan Yao so much that he became more negative and melancholy every day he waited. After that day, he couldn't even see Nan Yao's shadow.
No one said anything.
To ease the awkward atmosphere, Zhan Zhaolin touched his nose and said cautiously, "Squad Leader, according to my analysis, could it be that Shuai... Yaoyao's family doesn't agree with you two, so they're using this as an excuse to take her away?"
This kind of thing does happen.
Ever since Yaoyao's identity and status were exposed, he felt that the squad leader was not worthy of her.
“…”
Xiao Chengyan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he sat there, using his aura to intimidate others.
Is it possible?
He has reached a level that is unattainable for everyone on the mainland. Even if it is not exposed, isn't his performance in the competition outstanding?
There's no reason to disagree.
Which link went wrong?
"Where are you going, squad leader?"
Seeing Xiao Chengyan stand up, Zhan Zhaolin was afraid that he had heard what he said and would find a place where no one was around to act upset, so he hurriedly called out to him.
Xiao Chengyan said without even turning his head: "Go out and get some fresh air."
…
The residence of Emperor Shengzong of the Ming Dynasty.
This was the second time Ying Qingzhou had appeared in front of them since the competition. He took a sip of tea and said, "The competition is over. Rest for a few days. You will set off back to the sect the day after tomorrow."
"Yeah." He Xuan nodded.
Finished giving instructions.
Ying Qingzhou was in no hurry to leave. He scanned everyone's faces one by one and asked, "Do you have anything to say to this Sect Master?"
“…”
They originally had some opinions.
But after seeing the final, their ridiculous opinions disappeared.
This is how the continent is. Strength and rank are valued, and only those with higher ranks have the final say. There is no way around it, this is the reality.
No one said a word.
Ying Qingzhou also knew that they were convinced, and said in a calm tone: "Since you don't have anything to say, then I will say it."
His eyes fell on He Xuan.
"Xiao Xuan, I acknowledge in front of the entire continent that your young master is the successor to the next leader of the Ming Sheng Sect. Do you feel wronged?"
He Xuan shook his head: "The sect's capable people are competent, it has always been like this."
For his answer.
Ying Qingzhou was very satisfied and did not hide anything. He said frankly: "That's right. Even if you don't care who the next sect leader is, you will still feel unbalanced. There is no need to refute anything. Everyone has this feeling."
“…”
He Xuan agreed.
There was indeed a little bit before, but I got over it in a short while.
"Don't worry." His expression naturally caught Ying Qingzhou's eye, and he continued, "The next leader of Ming Shengzong will still be yours."
He deliberately emphasized the word "correct".
It stopped his idea of becoming the deputy leader and causing trouble.
In his opinion, all deputy sect leaders are just giving up and lying down, Shu Li is one of them, and the other one who often doesn't return to the sect is also one of them.
Shu Li: “…” Remember to take your big mouth with you when you go to court.
He Xuan looked up in surprise and blurted out, "If I am the next Sect Master, then what about the Young Master? He is the Sect's designated Sect Master."
Although he is also.
But now the young master's reputation is probably the highest in the continent.
Ying Qingzhou disagreed: "That was a verbal appointment made by this Sect Master. Your Young Master doesn't care about the position of Sect Master at all. She is also a member of Mingsheng Academy. Will the academy let such a talent leave the academy and come back to be the Sect Master?"
There was a pause.
He continued, "Will your young master's current talent be limited to being the sect leader? I'm afraid one day he will become someone beyond reach."
“…”
Everyone was silent.
What the Sect Master said made no sense, they all knew what it meant.
"Besides, I'm not sure if I can come back..." Ying Qingzhou sighed and made up an excuse that he was seriously injured to go back and see their attitude.
I don't want her to stay here.
"What do you mean, Sect Master?" This was said by Fu Shaolei.
What are you not coming back for?
How can that be possible? He hasn't even gotten close to anyone. Even if he's not the next sect leader, he's still the young master. He has strength, good looks, and is handsome.
Ying Qingzhou glanced at him lightly: "What do you want to do?"
"I want to curry favor with someone." He said without hesitation.
No one dared to lie in front of Ying Qingzhou, because lying in front of him was tantamount to seeking death, and this was the bottom line of the sect leader.
He hates lying the most.
"Put that thought away, you don't deserve it."
“…”
Fu Shaolei wanted to say something else.
There was a knock on the door. He was closest to the door, so he ran over to open it. Seeing the person coming, he asked, "Are you... the captain of Mingsheng College?"
"Let him in." Ying Qingzhou's voice came.
He knew the purpose of Xiao Chengyan's coming here.
Can't sit still after just two days? It's true that young people are impatient and irritable.
Xiao Chengyan was not the only one who came.
There is also a Zhan Zhaolin.
His pair of shifty eyes darted around, and the moment he saw Ying Qingzhou, he slid over to wish them a happy new year.
I fell down because I was too excited...
Fu Shaolei was shocked: "You... why are you giving such a big gift? It's not Chinese New Year, we don't have any red envelopes to give you."
Zhan Zhaolin's cheeks were burning, but he rushed to Ying Qingzhou's feet again: "Teacher, it's been a long time since we last met. You look so handsome again."
“…”
When the teacher came out, everyone was stunned.
Fu Shaolei frowned and said, "Teacher? You can't call me that. This is our sect leader. Did you recognize the wrong person?"
After saying that, he realized something.
He looked at the Sect Master who had an indifferent expression and did not object to the title. Fu Shaolei could not help but widen his eyes: "Sect Master, he..."
But fortunately.
The sect leader's eyes were on Zhan Zhaolin.
"Why are you here?" Ying Qingzhou glanced at him unhappily.
He felt a little regretful.
Seeing his embarrassing performance on the competition stage, Ying Qingzhou was a little afraid that people would find out that this was his only disciple.
"I just miss you." Zhan Zhaolin gave a flattering smile.
“…”
He didn't say anything else.
Knowing that Xiao Chengyan would not give up until he got the answer, Ying Qingzhou said, "Ah Xuan, stay here. You guys go out first."
"Master, I..." Fu Shaolei's eyes were full of expectation, but he only got four words in return.
"You go out too."
"oh……"
Zhan Zhaolin did not go out.
Considering that they were from the same college and were family, Ying Qingzhou didn't bother to care about him. He glanced at Xiao Chengyan, who had a tense expression.
Eye contact.
"Sit down."
"Thank you, Sect Master Ying." Xiao Chengyan sat down.
The atmosphere was quiet, no one spoke, and Ying Qingzhou did not ask.
He just sipped his tea.
Xiao Chengyan got straight to the point: "Sect Master Ying, do you know where Yaoyao's home is? Or who his father is?"
I just guess that Yaoyao is the daughter of the previous sect leader.
He wasn't sure.
"..." After a moment of silence, Ying Qingzhou slowly put down his teacup. He stared at Xiao Chengyan meaningfully: "I know, are you planning to marry into my family?"
