Ye Feng looked even more uncomfortable, as if he had been constipated for a week.
"Senior brother, you know me. I am truly not suited for the position of sect leader."
Yun Zhongzi looked even more uncomfortable, as if he had been constipated for a month.
"So you're willing to watch your senior brother be bound by rules and regulations again, his cultivation stagnating and even in danger of regressing?"
Ye Feng's expression became even more uncomfortable, as if he had been constipated since birth.
“Senior brother, why don’t you suggest someone and I’ll support him to take the position? If I support the person you suggest, the position of sect leader will be a sure thing.”
Yun Zhongzi's expression relaxed, and he was filled with hope, just like the sun rising above the horizon.
"I think Senior Brother Xing Zuo is quite good. His cultivation level is already at the high stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Although he doesn't talk much, his words are always insightful, and he is exceptionally reliable in handling matters."
Ye Feng's expression relaxed, like a seed finally sprouting from the soil.
"I think Senior Brother Xing Zuo is also quite good. With Senior Sister Gu Ming assisting him, I believe he will achieve great things in his post."
Great minds think alike.
"Hehehehe..."
Yun Zhongzi and Ye Feng laughed heartily at the same time, as if they had finally released a torrent of fluids.
"Achoo... Achoo..."
Xing Zuo, who was cultivating in seclusion in his cave, suddenly sneezed several times in a row for no apparent reason.
This gave him a sense of foreboding.
Just before he sneezed, he was distracted and saw two people carrying a dark coffin to him!
Although he was not skilled in divination, he could figure it out by thinking about it.
If you dream of a coffin for no reason, can that be a good thing?
He took out the jade slip and directly contacted Yun Zhongzi, who was an expert in divination.
"Junior Brother Sect Leader, I have a feeling that a conspiracy against me is about to happen. I just dreamed that two fierce men were carrying a black coffin to me, and I suddenly sneezed several times. When do you have time to do a divination for me so that I can prepare a response in advance?"
Yun Zhongzi took out the jade slip and heard Xing Zuo's words.
Ye Feng and Yun Zhongzi exchanged a glance, both marveling at Xing Zuo's perception abilities.
Good heavens, the two of them had just finished discussing it when the omen appeared on his side. With such a strong ability to foresee danger, wouldn't it be a pity if he didn't become the sect leader?
Ye Feng directly transmitted his voice to Yun Zhongzi: "Senior brother, just tell Senior Brother Xing Zuo that 'carrying a black coffin' is not an ominous sign, but an auspicious sign. It means that he will be promoted and become rich, which is a great thing."
Yun Zhongzi's eyes flickered slightly, and he instantly realized what was happening.
He gave Ye Feng a thumbs up and said directly to the jade slip, "Congratulations, Senior Brother!"
Yun Zhongzi's words completely baffled Xing Zuo on the other end of the jade slip.
Why would I dream of these things and wish you congratulations?
Yun Zhongzi didn't keep him in suspense and said directly, "'Carrying a black coffin' is not a bad omen, it's a good omen. It means he will be promoted and become rich, which is a great thing. And the sneezing after that... Senior Brother, how many sneezes did you sneeze?"
Xing Zuo frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Seven sounds in total."
Yun Zhongzi's voice suddenly rose and said, "This is the will of Heaven! This is the will of Heaven! The seven sounds represent seven days, which means that Senior Brother will be promoted in seven days."
Xing Zuo laughed and said, "I'm already an elder now, what position can I possibly get promoted to? The only position above me is yours, the sect leader."
"That's right! This is fate! Junior brother just had the idea of passing on his position to senior brother, and you had this dream. This is simply the most perfect arrangement!"
Xing Zuo was about to retort when he suddenly paused.
Something's not right with this junior brother Yun Zhongzi!
He hasn't used such a lively and cheerful tone in thousands of years!
He asked with a mixture of doubt and caution, "If I may ask, junior brother, have you advanced to the Mahayana realm?"
Yun Zhongzi laughed and said, "Oh my, Senior Brother really knows me too well. Just now, I finally managed to break through to the next realm."
Blanch!
Xing Zuo couldn't help but curse inwardly.
This is a blatant conspiracy!
I suspect that junior brother's influence is still present in this.
Those two furtive figures carrying the coffin were definitely Junior Brother and Junior Brother Yun.
"Junior brother, how can you treat your senior brother like this? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"What makes you say that, Senior Brother Xing?"
Xing Zuo sighed and said, "When have we sword cultivators ever believed in fate? You've mentioned fate twice already, do you think I'm stupid?"
Now that his plan had been figured out, Yun Zhongzi simply stopped hiding it.
With a calm smile and an air of domineering confidence, he said, "Since you've already guessed it, then accept this task. You know you can't beat me right now. Think carefully about whether you want to be beaten up by me before becoming the sect leader, or become the sect leader directly."
Xing Zuo sighed again: "Junior brother, although I must first congratulate you on breaking through your cultivation level and finding your true self, you yourself are like someone who has been caught in the rain. Why don't you know to leave an umbrella for others?"
Yun Zhongzi chuckled and said, "Senior brother, since I've already been rained on, as my brother, my dearest friend, shouldn't you experience it too?"
"Junior brother, you've changed."
"Senior brother, stop struggling in vain. Becoming the sect leader will bring you many benefits."
"What are the benefits? Leading the way in eating sea cockroaches or cicada nymphs? Aren't there all sorts of ugly, disgusting insects waiting for me to lead the way in eating them?"
Yun Zhongzi glanced speechlessly at Ye Feng beside him.
Ye Feng pretended not to hear, put his hands behind his back, and whistled with a pout.
Xing Zuo's voice came from the jade slip again.
"Junior brother, you were accepted as a disciple by me on behalf of our master, how could you betray your elder brother like this?"
Ye Feng said with a joyful expression and a warm voice, "Senior brother, I wish you success in becoming the sect leader. I believe that our master's spirit in heaven will be comforted."
...
Xing Zuo ultimately offered no resistance.
With the former sect leader and Ye Feng's recommendation, he had absolutely no room to resist.
Unless a fellow disciple steps forward and declares that the position of sect leader is rightfully mine, I might still be able to extricate myself from this predicament.
But seeing his fellow disciples and senior masters gloating, with expressions of relief that it wasn't him, Xing Zuo knew he was dreaming.
Same process, same declaration, different algebra.
After going through the entire process, Xing Zuo officially took over the position of sect leader of the Shushan Sword Sect.
Yun Zhongzi, who had advanced to the Mahayana realm, joined the ranks of the Supreme Elders, just like Jian Chen and Wu Qiuyu.
While everyone congratulated Yun Zhongzi on his promotion, they couldn't help but ask him about the reason for it.
Yun Zhongzi, of course, was generous and shared his insights with everyone without reservation.
He even compiled it into a book and stored it in the library for his disciples to study and observe.
After marveling at his fate, everyone began to diligently explore their own path of the sword.
Although none of them broke through to a higher realm as a result, they all gained something.
