Chapter 508: Xu Yinglong's Choice (First Update!) )
Xu Yinglong was very entangled in Hongling's request to apprentice, he did not agree on the spot, nor did he refuse, but said that he needed to consider it.
With these few understandings, Xu Yinglong still knows a lot about the character of Hongling, to be honest, Xu Yinglong admires this kind-hearted and flexible girl. She is not as well-behaved as ordinary girls, as can be seen from the fact that she would rather run away from home and wander outside than stay at home and suffer from the gossip of her half-sisters. And outside, in order to help the people at the bottom, this girl actually attacked those corrupt officials, and even did not hesitate to fight with the provincial police, causing a lot of trouble.
Although he is a girl, what he does is full of the style of an ancient chivalrous man. In this respect, she doesn't look like a girl at all, but more like a man.
Although Xu Yinglong admires what she does, he also appreciates her character. But there are still a lot of concerns about taking her as an apprentice, and the first thing you have to consider is the feelings of your family. After all, it was Hongling who infiltrated the Lucheng City Government and stole Xu Yinglong's father's office, not only took away the USB flash drive containing the secret, but also left the truth for those bastards, and finally Xu Da and his wife were persecuted to death.
Although Xu Yinglong also knew that this matter had little to do with Hongling, she did not have the idea of subjectively harming others. Even if Hongling didn't appear at the beginning, those crazy and unscrupulous guys would not let go of the Xu family. Don't worry that those bastards can't find an excuse, what is the trouble of wanting to add to the crime, how can those who have the initiative not find an excuse?
On the contrary, because of its appearance, it preserves key evidence. In the end, his parents were able to regain their grievances and restore their reputation. Words from this aspect. Hongling is not only not indebted to the Xu family, but also has kindness.
But Xu Ying and the old man may not think so. After all, in this matter, Hongling plays a thief who specializes in stealing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, a thief! And before the theft of the Lucheng City Government, she has never made a mistake, every time she stole it, if the local Commission for Discipline Inspection intervenes in the investigation, she can always find out some evidence of the theft's violation of law and discipline, so when Xu Da's office was stolen, people subconsciously equated Xu Da with those corrupt officials for the first time, and those bastards took advantage of such an opportunity to put Xu Da to death. If Hongling hadn't appeared at the beginning. I'm afraid those people won't be so light, or they won't dare to kill Xu Da so rampantly.
That's one thing, and on the other hand, it's about that USB stick. It turns out that those people at that time may not necessarily kill Xu Da from the beginning, after all, Xu Da is still a high-ranking official at the deputy department level, and there is a father who is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. If there was a silver lining, no one would be so reckless as to think of killing people.
As officials who have been mixed with officialdom for most of their lives, it is impossible for them not to know the truth that the murder case must be solved, and it is impossible not to know the allusions that want to cover up. Sometimes killing people may not be able to extinguish the mouth, and even if the mouth of the person concerned is extinguished, the matter may not be completely covered up. The wisest option is to destroy the key evidence. At that time, even if Xu Da is alive, he can only look at the ocean and sigh, and he can't do anything. Killing, especially a serving deputy mayor, is definitely not a good strategy.
In other words, if Hongling hadn't taken the USB flash drive in a panic. Let Li Kang and others mistakenly think that Xu Daning is unyielding, and they are determined to fight them to the death, maybe things won't be as bad as they are now. Maybe those people will release Xu Da after they find evidence. If you are alive, you can simply find a reason to remove him from public office, and there is no need to kill him directly. From this point of view. Hongling's original actions were tantamount to the death of Xu Da and his wife, and it can also be said that she killed Xu Da and his wife.
Xu Yinglong himself has no prejudice against Hongling. But he can't ignore his family's thoughts, if he lets the old man know that he has accepted Hongling as an apprentice, I'm afraid the old man will also be anxious with him. In addition, Xu Yinglong's previous attitude towards Hongling Xu Yinglong remembered very clearly, although the situation eased after Xu Yinglong explained to her, it could be seen that the little girl still didn't have much affection for Hongling.
If Xu Yinglong really collects Hongling into the door wall, then he will definitely stay by Xu Yinglong's side to cultivate in the future, and he will inevitably meet with his little sister in the future. If the relationship between them is not harmonious, it is likely to affect the unity of the entire Yinglong Palace.
Xu Yinglong attaches great importance to the unity within the sect, and as the founder of a large sect, Xu Yinglong has extremely rich experience in managing the sect. If the sect is united, then even if there is no master in this sect, others will not dare to underestimate it, unity is strength, no one will be stupid enough to provoke an extremely united sect, because once you provoke a person, then you are facing the entire sect.
But if there is always infighting within a sect, then even if there is an Immortal Emperor in charge of the sect, it will be looked down upon. If a sect is not united, it is impossible to have internal cohesion, and then the sect's combat effectiveness will drop by more than half when dealing with external dangers. Therefore, whether it is the Medicine King Star or the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, almost all sects will pay special attention to whether the disciples in the sect are united, and this starts from the day the disciples enter.
On Medicine King, new disciples will be asked a question, that is, do you have any grudges with people in the cultivation world, if so, who and because of something. If this enemy was in the sect, the sect would most likely refuse to allow this disciple to enter, unless his cultivation qualifications were particularly excellent. The purpose is to prevent the disciples in the sect from harboring grudges and affecting the unity within the sect.
There is another reason for Xu Yinglong's hesitation, according to Hongling, although her cultivation is average, she is the only heir of the empty gate. The problem lies in this one-of-a-kind, according to Hongling, there is only one disciple left in the empty door now, although her mother did not ask her to pass on the empty door when she was dying, but as the only disciple of the empty gate, she still has the responsibility and obligation to pass on the empty door.
But now she wants to worship Xu Yinglong as a teacher, according to the tradition of Yao Wangxing, this means that Hongling voluntarily broke off the fate with the empty door and belongs to the self-chasing door wall. But the problem is that once Xu Yinglong accepts her and agrees to accept her as an apprentice, then the empty door will be cut off, and this sect that has been inherited for thousands of years will be completely destroyed.
Although there has been an ancient saying in China that everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door and doesn't care about the frost on the tiles of others, but also as the founding patriarch of the sect, Xu Yinglong fully understands the expectations of the first generation of patriarchs of the empty gate. Any ancestor who opened the door and established a mountain, no matter what their cultivation was, hoped that the sect they founded could be passed down through the ages, and also hoped that the disciples in their sect could be better than the blue, pass on their own Taoism, and then carry it forward.
Because of this, Xu Yinglong never wanted this sect that had been inherited for more than a thousand years to cut off the incense like this, so he was hesitating.
Regarding Hongling's cultivation qualifications, Xu Yinglong has already seen it, and the top-grade fire spirit root, whether it is learning the Dan Dao or learning the way of refining, it is very good. If you consider it only from the aspect of the development of the sect, Xu Yinglong still very much wants to accept Hongling. But consent is just two words, and you can say it at any time, but you have to get the consent of these key people before you can say these two words.
Just when Xu Yinglong saw that his little sister had finished talking to the old man on the phone, and was helping to look at Xiao Ling'er, Xu Yinglong hurriedly called her over, and told her about Hongling's apprenticeship to ask for her opinion.
However, to Xu Yinglong's surprise, this time Xu Ying did not object, but asked Xu Yinglong a few questions, and after getting the answers she wanted, she agreed directly. At the same time, she also let Xu Yinglong relax, she will help the old man solve it.
Despite the support of his little sister, Xu Yinglong still didn't dare to nod. He first told Hongling about the rules of self-expulsion of the door wall, and let Hongling make up her own mind, after all, she was the only disciple of Kongkongmen, if she was willing to let Kongkongmen cut off the inheritance incense like this, he would have no opinion.
