"Well, in that case, I'm relieved. Junior Brother Zong Shen, you can just focus on your training." Zong Ren responded with a smile.
"Yeah." Zong Shen also responded, then stood up and walked towards his room.
"Uncle Zongshi, Brother Zongren, since Junior Brother Zongshen said so, then there is no need to force him. I think we should let one of your sect's most talented disciples serve as the sect elder." Hall Master Zongren watched Zongshen leave and then suggested.
"Well, that's right. I wonder who this disciple is?" Master Zongren looked at Master Zongren next to him with a smile and asked.
When Master Zongren heard what Master Zongren said, he immediately turned around and looked beside Master Zongren. He found that there was no one beside him, and a trace of disappointment suddenly appeared on his face.
"Master Zongren, where is that disciple from earlier?"
Zong Ren Hall Master looked at the direction Zong Shen left and said, "Junior Brother Zong Shen, I wonder where you went."
"No need to look for him, the disciple has already gone back." Zong Shanming said lightly when he saw the actions of Hall Master Zong Ren, his tone full of confidence.
"Uncle Zongshi, in that case, I will take Junior Brother Zong Shen away." Hall Master Zong Ren looked at Zong Shanming's expression and guessed that Zong Shen might not be able to pass his test. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but he still suppressed his inner disappointment and said to Zong Shanming with a fist.
After Zong Rentang Master left, Zong Shanming looked at Zong Shen and said, "Junior Brother Zong Shen, since Zong Rentang Master has agreed to hand over the position of elder in the sect to you, are you willing to accept this position of elder?"
"Zong Shen thanks Master Zong for his kindness. However, it is better for Senior Brother Zong Ren to keep his cultivation to serve our sect." Zong Shen smiled faintly and rejected Zong Shanming's kindness.
"Zong Shen, are you unwilling to take the position of elder?" Zong Shanming frowned and looked into Zong Shen's eyes.
Zong Shen nodded and replied, "That's right. Zong Shen knows that his talent is mediocre and his strength is weak, so he is afraid that he will not be able to convince others. Brother Zong Ren is a late bloomer, and Zong Ren feels inferior to him, so Zong Ren dare not take credit for it." Zong Shen said, bowing deeply to Zong Shanming, his tone full of respect.
After hearing what Zong Shen said, Zong Shanming raised his eyebrows and couldn't help feeling disgusted towards Zong Shen. This Zong Shen was really too arrogant. He was unwilling to accept the position of elder in the sect. Moreover, he even dared to put on airs in front of him. It was simply outrageous.
"Zong Ren, do you know that I let you be an elder because I think highly of you? If I wasn't a little curious about you and wanted to test you, do you think you would have the opportunity to serve as an elder in the sect?" Zong Shanming snorted coldly and said to Zong Shen with disdain.
When Zong Shen heard what Zong Shanming said, the expression on his face suddenly became a little embarrassed. He also knew that what Zong Shanming said was true, but he still had his principles. He could not condescend to others just because of his low cultivation level. What's more, he also had feelings for the disciples in the sect, so he would not condescend to them.
"Zongren, don't forget that in addition to Senior Brother Zongren and Master Zongren, there's also Master Zongren's nephew, Zongde. Senior Brother Zongde's cultivation is much stronger than yours. Why do you think Senior Brother Zongren is unwilling to take on the position of a sect elder and chose you? It's because Senior Brother Zongren sees your potential and understanding. If you can receive guidance from Senior Brother Zongren, perhaps you'll have a chance to become a qualified elder. Furthermore, Senior Brother Zongren has already decided that once Junior Brother Zongshen breaks through to the Golden Core stage, he will help Senior Brother Zongde ascend to the throne of a sect elder. How dare you still be so ungrateful?"
Junior Brother Zong Shen, are you too arrogant? Senior Brother Zong De is ranked fourth in cultivation in the sect. Do you think that with his talent, you can really surpass him? Although Senior Brother Zong De's cultivation in the sect is not as good as that of Hall Master Zong Ren, you must think clearly. If Hall Master Zong Ren retires, you must become one of the elders in the sect. You must think clearly! "Hall Master Zong Ren said with some displeasure when he saw that Zong Shen was unwilling to accept the position of elder.
When Zong Shen heard what Zong Rentang Master said, his heart tightened. He had indeed thought that after Zong De became an elder in the sect, he would train him. After all, Zong De was the direct descendant of Zong Rentang Master.
"Zong Ren, don't worry. Once our senior brother Zong Ren breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, he will help you improve your strength. At that time, you will also have the opportunity to obtain the position of elder in the sect. You don't have to worry about this matter.
When the master of Zong Ren heard Zong Shen's words, a look of joy appeared on his face. He knew that the younger Zong Ren would not refuse Zong Ren's kindness. After all, Zong Ren was also one of the elders in the sect, and Zong Ren also had an uncle who was at the Nascent Soul stage.
Zong Ren Hall Master thought about it and smiled. He looked at Zong Shen who was standing in front of him and said to him with a smile: "Junior Brother Zong Ren, you don't need to feel pressured. I know you don't want to be burdened by Zong Ren. Let's just leave it at that."
"Thank you, Master Zongren, thank you, Master Zongren." Zong Shen looked at Master Zongren and bowed to him.
Master Zong Ren smiled and waved at Zong Shen, indicating that Zong Shen didn't need to be polite anymore.
Hall Master Zong Ren took Zong Shen out of the sect. As they walked out, he began to think about the reason why Zong Shen rejected him.
Hall Master Zong Ren took Zong Shen out of the valley of the sect and walked all the way towards the sect. Hall Master Zong Ren wanted to find out from Zong Shen whether he had any hidden secrets. Hall Master Zong Ren naturally could not have imagined that Zong Shen did not want to accept Zong Ren's kindness, but because he did not want to cause trouble for Zong Ren. Because Zong Ren's strength was already at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, and Zong De's cultivation had also reached the middle Nascent Soul stage. There was no hope at all for Zong Ren to become an elder in the sect, so he chose to reject Hall Master Zong Ren's kindness. After all, in his eyes, Hall Master Zong Ren was not worthy at all.
Master Zong Ren followed Zong Shen all the way and walked into a dark path. The path was pitch black on both sides and the scene ahead could not be seen at all.
As he walked, Zong Shen noticed something unusual, because he felt that the road in front of him seemed to be slowly getting wider.
"Master Zongren, it seems like the route ahead is changing?" Zong Shen turned around and said to Zongren in surprise.
"Zong Ren, the road ahead is your new home. From now on, your new home will be called 'Zong Ren Mansion'. Junior Brother Zong Ren, you are now a member of our sect. Let us celebrate your new home today." After hearing what Zong Shen said, the head of the Zong Ren Hall immediately showed a happy smile on his face and said to Zong Ren.
After hearing what Zong Rentang Master said, a bright smile immediately appeared on Zong Ren's face. Zong Ren knew that today, his new home would become lively because of his joining, and his new home would also become the largest mansion in the entire sect.
"Haha, that's great! Then Zongren will respectfully obey your order." Zongren said to Zongren Hall Master with a brighter smile on his face.
