Li Huan sneered, looking down on Abbess Miejue.
"Old nun, lie down obediently! From now on, you can no longer be arrogant and domineering!"
Zhang Wuji understood Li Huan's meaning and quickly spoke to Zhou Zhiruo.
“Miss Zhou, I cannot heal Abbess Miejue without the leader’s orders.”
Zhou Zhiruo looked disappointed after hearing this.
Then, Zhou Zhiruo clasped her hands in a respectful greeting to Li Huan.
"I hope Leader Li will have mercy and allow Brother Wuji to heal my master's injuries."
Li Huan deliberately said, "You obeyed Abbess Miejue's orders, used your beauty to seduce Zhang Wuji, and stole the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. Now you still have the nerve to ask me to show mercy and let Zhang Wuji heal Abbess Miejue?"
"Zhou Zhiruo, why do you have such a high opinion of yourself? Is it because you're beautiful, or because you're skilled in martial arts, or because you're popular?"
Zhou Zhiruo blushed slightly and instinctively avoided Li Huan's gaze.
Li Huan shouted again, "Zhou Zhiruo, stop trying to be clever! Hand over the Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber!"
Zhou Zhiruo frowned slightly, then suddenly looked directly at Li Huan and walked towards him.
"Back then, our founder, the heroine Li Xiang, founded the Emei Sect and recruited many disciples, precisely to find the lost Dragon-Slaying Saber!"
"The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber originally belonged to the Emei Sect. Why should I hand them over to the Ming Cult?"
"Now that the Heaven-Slaying Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber are broken in two, even if they are now scrap, our Emei Sect will still enshrine them as our sect's most treasured artifacts!"
"Li Huan, kill me if you want. If I'm even slightly afraid, I'm not a disciple of Emei!"
Zhou Zhiruo's gaze was resolute, and her voice was impassioned.
Li Huan said, "What you say makes sense. The Emei Sect is indeed qualified to safeguard the Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber! However, given Abbess Miejue's character, she is not worthy to be the leader of the Emei Sect, nor is she worthy to protect the Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber!"
Zhou Zhiruo sighed and took out an iron ring from her bosom.
Ding Minjun's expression changed drastically when she saw the iron ring.
Zhou Zhiruo put the iron ring on her index finger, then raised it above her head to show it to everyone.
"This is the Emei Sect's Xuan Tie Ring, a treasure passed down through generations of sect leaders! My master has already passed the position of sect leader to me!"
"Today, our master has been seriously injured and is unable to stand or speak. Our sect is now leaderless!"
"Therefore, I solemnly announce that I am officially appointed as the fourth generation leader of the Emei Sect!"
Abbess Jingxuan quickly led the Emei Sect disciples to kneel and pay their respects.
Ding Minjun called out, "Wait!"
Zhou Zhiruo asked, "Ding Minjun, what do you want to do?"
Ding Minjun said, "I suspect that you secretly stole the iron ring that Master wore, and now, taking advantage of Master's serious injury, you are trying to usurp the position of sect leader!"
Zhou Zhiruo glared at him and said angrily, "You're spouting nonsense! Master said before that he had passed the position of sect leader to me! Didn't you hear that?"
Master Jingxuan said, "Ding Minjun, Master did indeed say that he would pass the position of sect leader to Zhiruo. Stop making trouble and quickly kneel down to pay respects to the sect leader!"
Helpless, Ding Minjun had no choice but to kneel down and pay her respects in resentment.
Zhou Zhiruo said, "Sect Leader Li, now that I have become the leader of the Emei Sect, am I qualified to take control of the Heaven-Slaying Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber?"
Li Huan thought to himself that the martial arts manuals and the "Wumu's Legacy" inside the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber had been taken out, and the sword and saber were broken in two and could not be used as weapons.
Without obtaining the six Sacred Flame Tokens, Zhou Zhiruo was unable to repair the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
At present, although Zhou Zhiruo is ambitious, she has not yet made any major mistakes and there is still room for her to repent.
After thinking it over, Li Huan made up his mind.
He said with a smile, "Miss Zhou is definitely better than Abbess Miejue as the leader of the Emei Sect! The Heaven-Slaying Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber shall be kept by the Emei Sect!"
"However, Miss Zhou must hand over the 'Wumu's Legacy' so that the Ming Cult can deploy its troops, annihilate the Yuan army, and overthrow the imperial court!"
Zhou Zhiruo nodded in agreement: "I have hidden that military treatise in a secret place. Leader Li, you may come with me to retrieve it!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a cough was heard.
An elderly woman with white hair, hunched over and leaning on a cane, walked into the square.
"Granny Jin Hua!" Zhang Wuji exclaimed in surprise.
Li Huan was also surprised.
Holy crap, what is Granny Jin Hua doing at Shaolin Temple on Mount Song?
Could it be that she's going to take Xiao Zhao away?
Li Huan pretended not to recognize Granny Jin Hua and hurriedly waved, saying, "Grandma! We have some top-quality boxed meals here, they taste absolutely delicious, would you like to try some?"
Grandma Jinhua walked up to the electric tricycle and examined the dishes in the food bucket.
Her stomach growled a few times.
It was already afternoon, so it was clear that Granny Jinhua hadn't had lunch yet.
Xiao Zhao looked at Granny Jin Hua, a look of joy flashing in her eyes.
Because Granny Jin Hua was actually Dai Qisi, the Purple-Robed Dragon King, in disguise, and she was Xiao Zhao's biological mother.
Grandma Jin Hua asked, "How much do you charge for your food?"
Li Huan said, "Each boxed meal costs one hundred taels of silver! Grandma, you've come at the right time. Chief Mei of the Wushan Gang bought more than ten thousand boxed meals to give away to the participants of the 'Food Festival'!"
Grandma Jin Hua coughed a few more times and said, "In that case, give me one to try."
Li Huan instructed, "Xiao Zhao, get this old lady a boxed lunch!"
Xiao Zhao walked over with a smile, quickly filled a boxed lunch, and helped Granny Jin Hua to sit down at the dining table.
By this time, most of the people in the square had already left.
The woman in the yellow shirt stood next to the electric tricycle, admiring it with great interest.
Li Huan said, "Miss Yang, do you like my car?"
The woman in yellow said, "To be honest, my ancestors also drove this kind of tricycle!"
"According to my grandmother, these tricycles are produced in foreign countries and are extremely expensive!"
Li Huan laughed and said, "Your ancestor must have been your grandmother's father, right?"
The woman in the yellow shirt nodded.
Li Huan said, "Your grandmother's name is Li Fu, and her father's name is Li Huan, the same as mine."
The woman in yellow said, "That's right! You share the same name as my ancestor... and the tricycle you drive is exactly the same!"
Li Huan asked, "You've seen it before?"
The woman in yellow said, "When I was young, my grandmother showed me a picture. The vehicle depicted in the picture was none other than Master Li's tricycle."
Li was happy.
Li Fu loves driving electric tricycles. In her spare time, she draws the shape of the tricycles and keeps the drawings.
Li Huan asked, "Your surname is Yang, what's your given name?"
The woman in yellow smiled gently: "Yaoqin."
Yang Yaoqin.
Li Huan silently read it a few times.
Then, Li Huan took out two bottles of "iced cola" from the carriage and handed them to Yang Yaoqin.
She accepted the chilled cola without hesitation.
"Thank you, Master Li. Until we meet again!"
Yang Yaoqin took the iced cola and gracefully left.
Shi Hongshi led the Beggars' Sect elders and disciples away from the square.
Suddenly, three more people entered the square.
They were tall, dressed in long white robes that fluttered in the wind, giving them an eerie appearance...
