Chapter 946: Surprises
Seeing Yu Shixian's puzzled eyes, Fang Qianyuan explained: "I'm really not modest, but the position of sect master is very important, so let's ask for another master." ”
Yu Shixian said: "Your own conditions are sufficient, you don't have to be arrogant." ”
Fang Qianyuan repeatedly excused: "It's really inappropriate." ”
Yu Shixian understood his intentions, and sighed lightly: "It seems that you are really not interested in this position." ”
Fang Qianyuan said: "The position of the sect master is both an authority and a responsibility, I know that my strength is enough to be valued by the sect, but with strength alone, I may not be able to do it." ”
"Maybe in the era of ancient cultivation, as long as the sect master had enough strength to be able to subdue the heroes, he could take responsibility, but in modern times, he no longer attaches much importance to personal strength, but it is more important to be able to do so. ”
People are self-aware, and they must know what they are suitable for and what they are not suitable for.
Fang Qianyuan thought in his heart that if he became the sect master, it would be a great waste for the sect and himself.
The Cangyun Sect has always promoted the power of the Heavenly Rank to the position of the Supreme Elder, and even ignored mundane affairs, in order to participate in the study of the Heavenly Dao and pursue the ultimate mystery of immortality.
The value of their existence is that they can form a deterrent force if they survive, and in normal times, there is no need to take action at all.
Therefore, they don't need to take on any position, they just put on the name of a supreme elder, retreat all year round, and be free.
On the contrary, it is the elders of the ground level and the disciples of the human level who need to be born and die, and participate in the conquest and fight of all parties with real swords and guns.
Yu Shixian obviously knew this, not so much asking about Fang Qianyuan's wishes, but rather going through the motions.
He didn't continue to advise, but said his true plan: "So, what do you think if Sun Zhuo takes on this responsibility?"
"Huh?" Fang Qianyuan was slightly stunned.
Yu Shixian said: "Sun Zhuo himself is a true disciple, and with the help of you, a junior disciple, it is completely enough to be included in the candidate examination." ”
Of course, he can't take over this position immediately, but if it is established, he will enter the list of candidate cultivators and compete for this position with several other elders and disciples. ”
"With his current situation, he can start with the ten elders of the Merit Temple, and then give him food, accumulate cultivation, and after stepping into the ground, he can take over as the head of the temple and attend the ...... of the Council of Elders."
"Qualifications, talents, cultivation, fame, and reputation must go hand in hand, indispensable, and when ten or even twenty years later, he is full of wings and enough to succeed him, and I can abdicate and make way for Xian. ”
"I see. ”
Only then did Fang Qianyuan realize that Yu Shixian tried to ask himself if it was false that he wanted to be the sect master, and he pushed his senior brother Sun Zhuo to be true.
is also from the same line of Qinggui elders, and his interests and power status are consistent with Yu Shixian and the forces behind him, and he can be called his own person.
If Sun Zhuo ascends to the throne, he can get the support of most of the earth-level elders in the sect, and even the Wolf Saint Blessed Land lineage, seeing that the general trend has been achieved, he will not object.
If the situation changes in the future, he will have enough confidence to gather the strength of the sect and actively prepare for the war!
Don't listen to what Yu Shixian said and other elders and disciples competing for this position together, in fact, if it is determined in the near future, everyone else will understand that he is just a foil, and the real future sect master is still Sun Zhuo.
Unless he has made some big mistake in ten or twenty years, or even betrayed the sect, it is possible to be replaced.
But then again, Sun Zhuo himself is also a disciple of the Qinggui Elder lineage, and there is such a master as Wanlijun Jiang Yunfeng, and a junior disciple like Fang Qianyuan, the unequaled son, how can he destroy his future?
No matter how you calculate it, he is the most suitable person to succeed the sect master.
In the future, the pattern of the Cangyun Sect is probably that he is responsible for the administration and secular affairs, for the master, and the junior and junior disciples are in charge of all kinds of things in the world, actively developing the sect's economy, and reserving talents.
Jiang Yunfeng, the elder of the older generation, is in charge of the sect, maintaining the overall situation, and ensuring the stability of the territory of the Southern Wilderness.
And Fang Qianyuan and the new generation of masters, the subordinates of the Soldiers, are pioneering and enterprising outside, competing for the world, no matter whether they win or lose, they still have the original basic plate to cling to.
In doing so, not only can the excess of authority and responsibility be realized, but also the parties can be reconciled and the friends of the sect can be stabilized, which is what Yu Shixian and others and the elders of the older generation are willing to see if the interests of the sect are the greatest foundation.
"If the senior brother is competent, of course I support it. Fang Qianyuan said.
He is not so confused as to support Sun Zhuo indiscriminately, but as he said, as long as Sun Zhuo can do it, he will support it to the end.
Yu Shixian is full of confidence: "Of course, he still has many deficiencies now, but giving us ten years is enough to cultivate." ”
The sect has done its best to cultivate a successor, and that person's foundation is not bad, and he can even be called excellent, how can he not cultivate it?
After agreeing on this matter, the interests of the two parties were more closely bound, and Yu Shixian pulled Fang Qianyuan to discuss some idle matters, and then let him leave.
The next day, Fang Qianyuan was resting in his mansion, planning to go to the Soldier Division to sit in the hall later, but Sun Zhuo came to visit.
"Senior brother, what did the sect master tell you, Elder Xi of the Merit Academy suddenly came to me to discuss the promotion, saying that he was going to put me on the list of ten candidates recently, and let me open the mansion alone and take charge of the ruling party!"
He was a little surprised when something like this happened suddenly, but he also felt a heavy pressure.
He was born as an elder of Gongcao, and he was taken care of by people from top to bottom, and his talents were enough to be competent, so it can be said that he was very relaxed, and he suddenly rose to a high position, and before he could enjoy the benefits of power, he first felt the pressure.
When Fang Qianyuan heard this, he smiled faintly, and immediately understood that the sect master was planning to let him personally tell Sun Zhuo the good news.
"Senior brother, congratulations, you have been selected as one of the candidates for the successor of the sect master, and you will have to discuss it in the Council of Elders soon, but I think there is a good chance of passing. ”
"Huh?" Sun Zhuo was stunned when he heard it.
He knew that Fang Qianyuan was not a person who liked to talk empty words, and if he said this, not only would there be a great chance, but he would be nine out of ten.
What's more, he himself is also a true disciple and has some understanding of sect politics.
Thinking of the recent retreat of the master, the killing of Dongfang Zhi by the junior brother, and the promotion of the heavenly rank combat power, I finally realized that I might really be about to make a career.
Just thinking of this, Yuan Shan, the housekeeper in the house, suddenly came to report: "There is a messenger from the Soldier Hall who came and said that there is something important to report. ”
"Hmm, the man from the Soldier's Hall, tell him to come in. ”
The Soldier Hall is under the command of his own master, and of course Fang Qianyuan will not refuse to see it.
As a result, as soon as he saw the messenger coming, he was excited, and said to the two of them, "Our main hall master...... The hall master has been promoted to the emperor level!"
