Chapter 581 Deliberate Cultivation
Ye Xingci looked at the pile of petitions to surrender to Taiyi and didn't know what to say for a moment.
All along, he had been learning to respect his teachers, how to run the sect, how to be a benevolent, righteous, polite, wise and trustworthy successor of Taiyi, how to protect and expand Taiyi's foundation, and how to ensure that his cultivation would not fall too far behind Kunlun's Wei Qinglan and bring shame to his master and the Taiyi sect.
He had never thought that after all these years, his master had done so many things behind his back, and that his master's ambition would be so big that he wanted to unify the world of immortal cultivation.
Uncle Zhong had always known what the master was doing, but he, the only disciple, was kept in the dark.
During the days when the master was not back to the sect, rumors were rife outside about the Taiyi Sect Master's schemes and his attempts to frame people from the immortal sect. He could hardly help but wonder, if the master had planned that this day would come sooner or later, then why did he raise him to have the temper he has today since he was a child?
If he had known this since childhood, he wouldn't be feeling so uncomfortable now because of the constant tug on the balance in his heart.
But gradually, he finally figured it out. He was a mirror for his master. His temper was something he deliberately cultivated. By looking at him, everyone could believe that Taiyi Sect Master Pei Tanyi was a gentle, polite, amiable and caring person.
Now that he has been exposed by Uncle-Master Yu and his facade has been torn apart by Kunlun and Qingxu Sects, countless people are shocked, yet at the same time, they realize that he has become so powerful, so they have no choice but to accept it.
At this time, the wind direction changed again.
And the master was quite proud.
Even though his trip to the ghost world was not smooth, the demon clan had made their attitude clear, and the inability to contact Feng Qi of the Feng clan did not affect his ability to control Kunlun and Qingxu.
Pei Tan thought he was silent and looked at him, "Are you still blaming Master for not telling you?"
His tone was kind and sincere, "Xingci, I hope you can practice well. You just need to take over the position of Taiyi Sect Master from your master. Your uncle Zhong and I will take care of other things. You don't need to worry about it. Otherwise, if no one can take the lead among the younger generation, what's the point of unifying the world of immortal cultivation and laying a huge foundation for Taiyi? What I want is Taiyi for thousands and thousands of years. Do you understand our painstaking efforts?"
Ye Xingci lowered his eyelashes and said softly, "Master, I understand."
"It's good that you understand. You have been a smart child since you were young. You have a talent for everything you learn. You are no worse than Wei Qinglan." Pei Tanyi mentioned Wei Qinglan, "If he is not a congenital demon soul, your cultivation over the years would be well-deserved to be the number one in the world of immortal cultivation."
Ye Xingci no longer has the competitive spirit he once had. For so many years, he has been living under the shadow of the young genius Wei Qinglan. No matter how hard he tries, he is always second. What's more, this year, Wei Qinglan has leaped several levels and entered the stage of spiritual transformation before he became a demon. He knows that it will take him another hundred years to reach his level, or even thousands of years to catch up. He may not be able to catch up even if he spends his entire life. Just when he was feeling discouraged, he unexpectedly heard that Wei Qinglan had become a demon and returned to the demon realm.
For Da Dao Chang Sheng, one year is not worth mentioning, but all the drama happened in this year.
His mood went up and down, and he experienced countless ups and downs during this year.
He now tried his best to calm himself down and nodded to Pei Tanyi, "Master, don't worry. I will continue to practice diligently and will not let you down."
Pei Tanyi was satisfied. He stood up and patted Ye Xingci on the shoulder. "You just came out of the Sword Tomb not long ago. Your cultivation has just stabilized. You don't need to rush to the next realm. It's better to rest for a few days. These memorials are left to you to reply. Since these people know how to deal with current affairs, you should encourage them on behalf of your master and make them willing. In half a month, they will still be the first to attack Qingxu. Their loyalty cannot be easily fooled by empty words. I must see their actual loyalty."
Ye Xingci nodded and said the same thing, "Don't worry, Master."
Pei Tanyi was very relieved. After all, this was the disciple he had taught personally. He knew Yu Yunsu's temper best. He was not like his junior brother Yu Yunsu. Even if you said he was weak, he was actually very difficult to manipulate and would not openly do things against him.
After he finished explaining, he turned and left.
Ye Xingci looked at the pile of folded books, walked over slowly, sat in the seat where Pei Tanyi had just sat, sat quietly for a long time, and picked up the top folded book.
Most of these small sects that depended on Kunlun for protection also learned Kunlun's strictness and severity. They were not like Wei Qinglan whom he had seen, who was casual and careless. Ninety-nine percent of Kunlun's disciples were serious and rigid. The people from these small sects had been dealing with Kunlun for a long time, so the letters of allegiance they wrote were also very strict.
He flipped through dozens of books in a row, and the words in them were almost the same. He then picked up the ones from the small sects that were first sent to Taiyi from the bottom. These people were influenced by the atmosphere of Qingxu, and they all knew that Yu Wuchen was an unreliable sect leader. Over time, they used all kinds of things to attract his attention, so now, these letters of surrender, one by one, seemed to have used all their tricks, all kinds of things, cursing Yu Wuchen, cursing Qingxu, and expressing their loyalty to Taiyi. The words in each book were different, almost praising Taiyi and Sect Leader Pei to the extreme.
After he finished reading the petitions submitted by all the small sects affiliated with Qingxu to switch to Taiyi, he couldn't help but smile. The depressed mood that had been suppressed in his heart for many days seemed to dissipate.
So, when Chen Liuan came over, he rarely saw Ye Xingci smiling.
For so many days, this Senior Brother Ye no longer has the smile on his face that he used to have. Now he looks fresh.
He came over and asked, "Brother Ye, what are you laughing at? You look so happy, just say it out loud, and make me happy too!"
Since the master came back, he called him over, met him once, and gave him two choices, asking him to leave the sect and find his master, or stay in Taiyi and be loyal to Taiyi. He simply and decisively chose to stay in Taiyi. The master had the experience of his master betraying the sect, and was worried about him. He placed a restriction on him in his spirit palace, and from now on, he had to obey him. If he betrayed, he could easily kill him.
After leaving the clan leader's residence, he laughed in his heart. Uncle Zhong had sent people to keep an eye on him. If he could leave, he would have left long ago, but he knew that he couldn't leave. He regretted that he should have left with Uncle Zhou and Uncle Wu, or, when he went to Qingxu with Uncle Wen later, he should have stayed in Qingxu and not come back. Naturally, his freedom would not be restricted now.
The sect leader gave him two choices, but he knew in his heart that as soon as he stepped out of the mountain gate, he would die on the way to Qingxu.
Therefore, he was not in a very good mood. Now seeing Ye Xingci smiling, he also wanted to share in his joy.
