Chapter 1752: The competent ones take over
If Pavilion Master Tan Tai had not once again offered up the red lotus-shaped token, Leng Shuheng would have been buried alive in the mud.
Even so, his body and face were covered in mud.
Leng Shuheng was going crazy!
She didn't provoke Beidou Blood Lotus, it must be that Liu Yiyi did something to Beidou Blood Lotus, otherwise why would Beidou Blood Lotus target her like this? !
She was about to speak, but Pavilion Master Tan Tai said coldly:
"I know what you're going to say, no need to say it!"
Leng Shuheng was so angry that she bit the mud, but she didn't dare to say a word.
Pavilion Master Tan Tai looked at everyone and asked, "What do you think about this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an elder named Ma said:
"Pavilion Master, I think Shuheng is right. The Big Dipper Blood Lotus is acting so abnormally. It must have been tampered with by Liu Yiyi..."
Before he could finish his words, Elder Ma was attacked by mud!
Although she had a high level of cultivation and was able to block the attack in time, she was still in a very embarrassing situation.
Elder Gui saw the trick.
“Pavilion Master, it seems that whenever someone says something bad about Liu Yiyi, Beidou Blood Lotus will attack that person with mud. Combined with the fact that the Blood Lotus insists on following her, it seems that the Blood Lotus approves of Liu Yiyi very much.
I checked it out before, and didn't find anything wrong.
Besides, Liu Yiyi just risked her life to save Fang Xuan and the others yesterday, so her character is still trustworthy.
Rather than saying that she did something, it's more likely that Beidou Blood Lotus got along very well with her, and that's why she was chosen as the successor to the Pavilion Master."
Everyone saw Elder Gui speak for such a long time, but they didn't see Beidou Blood Lotus throwing mud.
It seems her guess was right.
The Big Dipper Blood Lotus is... protecting its master.
This is totally off the mark!
The treasure of their Xuanji Pavilion actually protects a person from an outside sect!
Because of the previous experience, the elders who spoke next deliberately avoided attacking Fengxi, but they still expressed what they needed to say.
"Pavilion Master, put everything else aside. We cannot allow an outsider to be the successor of the Xuanji Pavilion!"
"Yes, Pavilion Master, that Liu Yiyi is from the Tianyan Dao Sect. As the saying goes, those who are not from our clan must have different hearts. How can you show her off as the Pavilion Master's successor?!"
“I guess the reason Beidou Blood Lotus treats her specially is probably because she went down into the pool to set up the formation, and Beidou Blood Lotus is grateful for her kindness.
This is different from our original intention of selecting the successor to the Pavilion Master, so this result does not count."
……
In short, these people all thought that Fengxi should not be allowed to be the successor to the Pavilion Master.
Pavilion Master Tan Tai nodded. Seeing that Elder Miao had not expressed his opinion, she motioned for her to say a few words.
Elder Miao first looked at the Big Dipper Blood Lotus in the pool, then glanced at the Xuanji Seven Stars one by one, and then said:
“Pavilion Master, no matter what the reason is, it is a fact that Beidou Blood Lotus chose Liu Yiyi.
The selection of Blood Lotus is a rule passed down by our ancestors. Even if there are some mistakes, we should abide by it.
If Liu Yiyi is willing to give up her status as a direct disciple of Tianyan Dao Sect and join our Xuanji Pavilion instead, she can be the successor to the Pavilion Master.
If she is unwilling to give up, then we will not be violating our ancestral teachings and can find another way to choose an heir."
Elder Miao didn't think highly of Xuan Ji Qi Yao at all. He thought they were just the tallest among the short ones, and his other disciples were not as good as these seven.
She thought that Liu Yiyi was a good girl, brave, resourceful and polite.
Although her cultivation is a little lacking, that was all because of that old bastard Gu Liangchuan. I heard that she has a talent for alchemy. As long as she is willing to join Xuanji Pavilion, she will definitely have a bright future.
The most important thing is that she is the one chosen by Beidou Blood Lotus, and she must not violate either the ancestral teachings or the will of heaven.
Elder Miao's words touched the heart of Pavilion Master Tan Tai, she thought the same way.
Although Feng Xi had previously said with certainty that she would not switch to Xuanji Pavilion, that was just polite talk. If she were really asked to make a choice, she might change her mind.
However, she couldn't be too obvious, so after Elder Miao finished speaking, she asked the other elders for their opinions.
Although there were a few people who agreed with Elder Miao's opinion, the majority of people still held opposing views.
When Pavilion Master Tan Tai was feeling a little embarrassed, Fang Xuan said:
“Pavilion Master, I remember the rule for selecting the Pavilion Master’s successor is that anyone present is eligible to be selected, so Beidou Blood Lotus chose Junior Sister Liu, which did not violate the rules!
Maybe the ancestors had considered this situation when they created this rule. If no suitable candidate can be chosen from among the disciples, then choose an outsider!
This is called "the one who is capable gets the job"!
Therefore, unless Junior Sister Liu voluntarily gives up her status as the Pavilion Master's successor, no one has the right to deprive her of her status as the Pavilion Master's successor!"
The other disciples also echoed it!
"Right! Just follow the rules!"
“They are both outsiders, so why didn’t Xue Lian choose Elder Gu Liang, Li Ze, and Liu Chi?
This shows that the Blood Lotus did not make a random choice, it knew that the Pavilion Master's successor must be a woman!"
"Junior Sister Liu saved us yesterday. Maybe this is fate. She is destined to be the successor to the Pavilion Master of our Xuanji Pavilion!"
……
Unlike those elders, the vast majority of the disciples recognized Fengxi as the successor to the Pavilion Master.
Except for the few disciples who were saved by Feng Xi and were grateful, the other disciples couldn't stand Xuan Ji Qi Yao's arrogance and domineering attitude!
The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
Anyway, I won’t let you seven become the Pavilion Master’s successors!
Coupled with Fengxi's previous excellent acting skills, they all thought that Fengxi was a good person.
Pavilion Master Tan Tai really didn't expect such a sudden turn of events. She hesitated for a moment and said:
"What Fang Xuan said is correct. According to the rules passed down from our ancestors, anyone present is eligible to be selected, so it doesn't matter whether Liu Yiyi is a disciple of our Xuanji Pavilion or not.
In this case, let’s do as Elder Miao said. If Liu Yiyi is willing to switch to our Xuanji Pavilion, then she will be the successor to the Pavilion Master.
If she doesn’t want to, then let’s just leave it at that.”
Hearing her say this, Leng Shuheng suddenly became anxious!
"Pavilion Master, Liu Yiyi has only reached the level of Refining Void Cultivation, not to mention refining pills. How can she be qualified to be the Pavilion Master's successor?!
I'm not convinced! "
The other six members of Xuanji Qiyao were quite united at this time and all expressed their dissatisfaction!
The elders who had previously expressed their opposition also used this as a reason.
When Pavilion Master Tan Tai was in a dilemma, Elder Ma said:
“However, let Liu Yiyi and Xuanji Qiyao compete in alchemy. If Liu Yiyi wins, we will do as you say.
If Liu Yiyi loses, then the matter will be dropped.
Pavilion Master, what do you think?"
The reason why Elder Ma said this was that he had his own ideas.
The Seven Stars of the Big Dipper are all four-level alchemists. Even though they are not that old, their age is there. Let alone the lowest-ranking sects, even if they are placed in a mid-level sect, they are considered very good.
That Liu Yiyi had only learned alchemy for a few months and was not even a top-level alchemist. She was bound to lose!
