"Could it be that everything that happened just now was just a dream?" Mu Yun muttered to himself, his face full of confusion.
At this moment, Sun Xianyun rushed over after receiving the news and asked with concern: "Palace Master, are you okay?"
Mu Yun took a deep breath and began to mobilize the true energy in his dantian to circulate it around his body, forcing the remaining alcohol out of his body at an extremely fast speed.
After a moment, he slowly said, "I'm fine."
After saying this, he walked towards the gate of the worship hall under the gaze of everyone.
I saw many disciples standing in neat rows below. They came here to worship heaven and earth and to pay their respects to all the previous hall masters.
Mu Yun looked around, then announced in a firm and resonant voice, "Today, I have decided to resign as Palace Master."
As soon as the words fell, the whole scene fell into an uproar.
The originally peaceful and harmonious atmosphere was instantly broken, and people were whispering and talking to each other.
Several highly respected elders at the front row were extremely anxious and hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him, saying, "Palace Master, this absolutely cannot be done!"
"Yes, how can our Huangyuan Palace be without you in charge?"
Seeing this, Mu Yun raised his hands and gently pressed them down to signal everyone to be quiet.
Gradually, the noisy sounds disappeared and the scene returned to calm.
Suddenly, Mu Yun reached out and grabbed Sun Xianyun's right hand, raising it high above his head. "From now on, Sun Xianyun is the new Palace Master!"
“Wha…what!”
Everyone exclaimed in disbelief, their eyes wide open, their faces filled with astonishment.
Then they turned their eyes to each other at the same time, their eyes full of confusion and worry.
At this time, a highly respected elder stepped forward, clasped his hands together and bowed to the hall master, speaking earnestly.
"Palace Master, although Xianyun has some abilities, his strength is limited after all. How can he take on such an important task?"
"I implore you, Palace Master, to consider this carefully and not act rashly."
Immediately afterwards, the other elders also echoed: "Yes, Palace Master, please think twice before acting."
Facing the crowd's doubts, Sun Xianyun simply revealed a helpless smile, shook his head gently, and said, "Palace Master, I know very well that with my current Xuanhuang realm cultivation, I am truly not qualified for such an important position."
However, Mu Yun was not shaken by these objections.
He slowly put down what he was holding, put his hands behind his back, and said with his head held high, "Dear elders and disciples, there is something you don't know."
"Although Xianyun is slightly inferior in strength, he has extensive experience in sect management and business."
"Furthermore, the powerful enemy has been defeated. In the short term, no one will be able to pose a threat to our Xianyuan City."
"In addition, we have the support of the four officials and everyone present here."
"Therefore, in my opinion, under the current circumstances, letting Xianyun take charge is the most appropriate choice."
At this time, the elder who had just spoken spoke again, "Palace Master, will you still be in Xianyuan City?"
Mu Yun shook his head, then took out the space jade and the palace master's order from the storage ring and handed them to Sun Xianyun.
"If Xianyuan City encounters an insurmountable enemy, you will crush this spatial jade stone, and I will rush back."
Everyone looked at each other, and the elder clasped his fists and said, "Welcome to the new Palace Master."
After someone took the lead, everyone saluted Sun Xianyun with their fists clasped.
"Everyone, let's get up first." He said hurriedly, still feeling quite uncomfortable.
"Thank you, Palace Master."
Mu Yun said, "Everyone, please continue to kneel and worship heaven and earth. Xianyun and I have something to discuss."
After he finished speaking, he disappeared with Sun Xianyun.
On top of the tower that reaches the clouds——
The breeze gently blew their hair and clothes, and the two stood side by side quietly, as if they were one with the world around them.
Sun Xianyun broke the silence: "Muyun, is it really because of that girl named Jinfeng that you can even abandon the position of Palace Master?"
There was a hint of doubt and confusion in his voice.
Mu Yun turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on the other person, a look of surprise appeared on his face, "I thought you would be happy about this."
He smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed, "How can I be happy?"
"Although becoming a palace master means having supreme power, in comparison, being a free and easy assistant is more comfortable and relaxed."
Mu Yun patted his shoulder in understanding. "Life always needs to move forward. We can't stay where we are forever."
"Besides, everyone has the right to pursue their own lifestyle and happiness."
“Maybe one day, when I realize what I want, I will come back here, because this will always be my roots.”
"My destination."
Hearing this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought...
After a moment, he raised his head and his eyes gradually became firm.
"Well, since you've already made your decision, I can only sincerely wish you success in achieving your goals and a speedy return."
"No matter when or where, this place will always be waiting for your return."
The two looked at each other and smiled...
The palace officer tore open the gap and knelt on one knee with a plop.
"Palace Master, I heard from the elders that you are leaving Xianyuan City?!"
Mu Yun helped him up with a faint smile.
"Of course, if there's a strong enemy I can't defeat, I'll rush back."
The palace officer was silent for a while...
After a while...
"Okay, I wish the Palace Master all the best outside."
Mu Yun patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Okay, I'll leave Xianyuan City to you two, one civil and one military. I trust you."
The two of them bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Palace Master."
Then, the chief official seemed to have thought of something and took out a bottle full of complicated characters from his ring.
"Palace Master, this is an elder from the Evil Soul Clan, one of the Sixteen Ghosts."
Mu Yun took the bottle and looked coldly at the dying Sixteen Ghosts.
"Well...I'll take care of him."
Siheyuan
The sun shines in through the screen window.
Yan An, who was sleeping on the outside, squinted his eyes and felt the hand on the fruit.
She took the hand off herself and muttered, "Jingzhi, can you please stop putting your hand on my x-ray? It's really annoying."
Jin Fengxi, who was sleeping in the middle, suddenly opened her eyes and smiled with a teasing look on her face.
