Chapter 24 I Have Self-Knowledge
May 14, 2018
Zhao Chenlu didn't guess the name of the sect leader until the end.
From Zhang San guessing Zou Liuliu536 all the way, Zhao Chenlu was still unable to find the right direction. Fortunately, she didn't care about this matter seriously.
"Forget it, I'm used to calling you an old man anyway. This title can better reflect the deep friendship between you and me."
The sect leader gave her a blank look: "I can't compare to your thick-skinned face."
Zhao Chenlu smiled and said, "After all, I am so beautiful, so I should have some privileges. Then I will think you agree to cancel the transfer of the throne."
"I think beautifully. Since you have so strongly opposed it, I have strengthened my determination to pass the throne to Senior Jianling. I believe that Xiangzhou will have a bright and beautiful future under his leadership."
"You think it clearly. That guy is not human and can even take action from his closest relatives."
"What the closest relatives are talking about is you."
Zhao Chenlu sneered: "Don't gloat, either. If he can attack me, he may kill the entire Xiangzhou blood! Although he was a human in his previous life, he has transcended human nature. If one day he thinks that the most beneficial future for the Xiangzhou continent is the future of human extinction, why do you think he doesn't attack humans?!"
The sect leader touched his beard: "You are talking about the plot of a fantasy novel, is it called "The End"?"
"You old man are so idle that you can even read novels?! Work hard for me!"
"Attention to the cultural and entertainment life of the people of Xiangzhou is also part of the work."
"What you are concerned about is a bad street setting, but even a bad setting, the practical significance of that kind of idea cannot be denied."
The sect leader said: "You are changing your concepts. It is true that the way of thinking of senior Jianling is very different from that of humans, but it does not mean that he is a madman who often destroys the world. On the contrary, his thinking is more detailed and rational than humans. If one day he really thinks that humans are beyond help, it must be that humans have fallen to an unparalleled level, and perhaps it is better to perish."
"You trust him too much, right?"
"If you don't have trust, you won't consider passing the position of sect leader to him. The reason why the inheritance of sect leader in the Holy Sect has been difficult is that this trust is important and rare. And if you were the case, wouldn't it be like this? If there was a mechanism in front of you now, as long as you press it, you could get married with Senior Jianling, the price was that half of the people would die in Xiangzhou continent, what would you do?"
Zhao Chenlu said: "Drop twice in a row, let him and I be husband and wife in the next life."
"You guy is completely out of salvation!"
"What's wrong!? I didn't say that it's already very kind to deduct a hundred times in a row that will never be able to be reborn forever. What else do you want me?!"
The sect leader suddenly felt a split headache and had to knead his temples hard.
"Anyway, it is because I have seen people like you that I feel that it is better to hand over the future of Xiangzhou to humans than to the sword spirit."
Zhao Chenlu snorted and admitted that what the sect leader said made sense. Compared to himself, he might be more suitable to be the ruler of mankind...
But now the problem is not this.
Since it is difficult to convince the old man to give up the idea of passing the throne, he can only settle for the second best and choose a path with higher benefits but higher risks.
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Chenlu said again: "But have you considered the opposition? Not to mention that few people in the world now know his true identity, even if you publish his identity, how many people can believe in the legend of the Savior Sword? How many people can resonate with the legends ten thousand years ago? You handed over the most important position in Xiangzhou to a young man who has only been awake for one year and is almost unknown, but it will cause chaos in the world."
The Sect Master smiled: "Compared with the riots you caused in Jinyu City, I think the inheritance of the Sect Master is already very gentle. Moreover, Mr. Wang Jiu's reputation is not as insignificant as you said. He has gathered a wide group of supporters in just a few months in Qingyun City. This natural attraction is almost no less than when you debuted in my opinion."
"Tsk..." Zhao Chenlu certainly knew how popular Wang Jiu was. In addition to the endless charm he had, the Tianwai Divine Sword, as the savior of the Xiangzhou world, would naturally attract others' favor, and that charming ability even surpassed her, the number one beauty in Xiangzhou!
This is also an important reason why he can attract women wherever he goes! If he hadn't had any interest in human beings, he would have been able to sow the world long ago!
This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Chenlu opposed Wang Jiu's succession as the sect leader. Although she was not afraid of any challenges, she did not enjoy fighting against all kinds of charming bastards. A Shen girl was enough to upset her.
"Then I'll change the reason. You have to choose him for the heirs. But as the former sect leader, at least you have to pave the way for the successor, right?"
The sect leader frowned: "You mean, I should take action to take down you, the demon king of the world, to please the people of the world, and create a favorable public opinion environment for the succession of the sword spirit senior?"
"Haha, just dream less when you are old, you may not be able to beat me now."
The sect leader glanced at Zhao Chenlu coldly and said lightly: "Don't underestimate the two thousand-year inheritance of the Holy Sect."
"Don't underestimate my harvest in Wanxiangyuan these two days."
The sect leader's face changed: "You guy!"
"No wonder there were so few things in Yulin and Huajiang at the beginning. I wonder if you are so busy developing the relics of the prehistoric world. I didn't expect there was still a lot of inventory. Now I have a new understanding of your Holy Sect's martial arts inheritance. I think even if we fight each other, my chances of winning are greater."
The sect leader said, "Do you think I will fight alone with you?"
Zhao Chenlu said in surprise: "Do you want to involve innocent people? I think Sister Qin Lian in Dongyuan and her 3-year-old son have nothing to do with this matter at all. Why did you sacrifice them?"
The sect leader blushed in an instant: "Zhao Chenlu! You are so shameless!"
"Hey! You involved innocent people first! Or an orphan and widowed mother, do you have humanity?"
The sect leader was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Fairy Qin Lian of Dongyuan was the widow of an elder of the Holy Sect in the past. The elder unfortunately died while exploring the remains of the prehistoric lands. He left the orphan and widowed mother to practice in Wanxiang Garden, but was actually caught by this bitch as a hostage!
As expected, he is indeed a cultivator who survived the war between immortals and demons. If there is no lower limit, he is truly unrivaled.
But on the other hand, the sect leader had to admit that Zhao Chenlu was indeed fully qualified to be lawless.
"Then what are you going to do? How should I pave the way for him?"
Zhao Chenlu said: "I think the best strategy is for the Holy Sect to come forward to arrange my marriage with him. In front of the world, Zhao Chenlu, the witch who has been harming the world for decades, has been subjugated... Hey, why are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, I just didn't expect you to be so self-aware."
"As the world's number one beauty, I have always been very self-aware, thank you." Zhao Chenlu showed his self-awareness without hesitation, and then said, "In short, a person who can make even the peerless witch love her will not seem so abrupt as soon as possible ascend to the throne of the Holy Sect Master, so if you want to pass the throne to him, arrange our marriage as soon as possible."
"...will he agree with this?"
Zhao Chenlu sighed: "If I agree so simply, I will succeed long ago. Why did I become a peerless witch who has been so many years?"
"Don't say your arbitrary behavior is like being very troubled."
"So this requires you, the sect leader who cares about the world, to help him marry me, he can not only properly complete the sect leader's inheritance, but also eliminate a disaster for the world, and the best of both worlds."
The sect leader frowned: "This matter sounds reasonable."
"It's justified."
"But why would such a reasonable plan be spoken out of your mouth?"
"Who are you treating me like?" Zhao Chenlu frowned, "Can't I make a little constructive opinion?"
The sect leader asked: "We have known each other for so many years, what constructive opinions have you put forward?"
"I have made many suggestions that you have rejected."
"For example, moving the capital to Jinyu City?"
"What's wrong? Even Tiancheng has been the capital of Xiangzhou for two thousand years, and the old forces have been mixed and accumulated problems. At the same time, the high cost of living brought by megacities has also overwhelmed many people. What's wrong with moving the capital to the vibrant Jinyu City at this time?"
"You Jinyu City are qualified to say that even Tiancheng's living costs are high! And you proposed to move the capital to seize power and replace it with the Holy Sect!"
"You Shengzong, as the leader of Xiangzhou for two thousand years, have been intricate in the old thoughts and have accumulated problems..."
""Enough, it's a waste of time to talk to you!"
"You are the one who provoked such a meaningless dispute first! Why do you have to doubt my good intentions??"
The sect leader sneered: "Have you heard the story of the wolf coming? Anyway, thank you for your advice. I already have a solution in my heart."
"Hey, come and criticize me."
"You dream!"
Early morning May 14, 2018
After the sect leader finally saw Zhao Chenlu away, it was already early in the morning. Wanxiang Garden ushered in a clear morning light of a new day, and the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It is really tiring to argue with Zhao Chenlu, and it is even more torture than exploring the prehistoric world. After all, exploring the prehistoric world fails, at most there will be no complete corpse. However, if Zhao Chenlu handles it inappropriately, it will definitely become a disaster that endangers all mankind.
Fortunately, this disaster is not long before it is rampant. As long as she supports her only nemesis, Wang Jiu, as the sect leader,... she can wait for the show to happen.
The method to support Wang Jiu ascends to the throne is also very simple. Zhao Chenlu is right. As a senior, he should pave the way for Wang Jiu.
This path is called the Qinglian Road. By allowing Wang Jiu to restore the Qinglian Sword Book, he was kind to Qinglian Academy and used the academy's reputation to make Wang Jiu take the throne. Although the effect is definitely not as good as Zhao Chenlu's best strategy to subdue the witch, he can kill two birds with one stone, which is more secure in the eyes of the sect leader.
Next, if you can see Zhao Chenlu's depressed and helpless face when she was executed by her lover, he would have no regrets when he went to the ruins of the prehistoric lands. And people in later generations will definitely remember his extraordinary achievements in strategizing and killing villains.
With such expectations, the sect leader brought Wang Jiu to the Qinglian Sword Academy in Liantian City that morning to meet with the Presbyterian Association, who is currently the temporarily acting as the head and vice president, to manage the Sword Academy.
However, after summoning the elders to gather together, the sect leader was directly hit by a blow.
"Restore the Qinglian Sword Book? No need to be so troublesome, right? It's not an indispensable thing. If you lose it, you'll be lost. In the future, we will completely change the name of the academy, saving the trouble of competing with the Wuxiangjian Academy for the name of the sword school."
