Curtain and night four.

The night on the grassland is particularly cold, but the geese return to the building and it is as warm as spring.

This is the only Han building in the city, the fame is not ordinary, the things are not ordinarily expensive, and it is not a rich and noble person, and it is not qualified to step into the threshold at all.

The members of the Shenwu Sect obviously have this qualification.

In the largest private room on the second floor of the Yan Hui Building, there were six people sitting around the huge mahogany round table.

Two women, four men.

The table was already full of delicious food and wine, but none of the six seemed to be in the mood to move their chopsticks. The four old guys, who were more than two hundred years old, were drinking the oil tea in the bowl, while the two women were just sitting quietly, neither eating nor drinking tea.

Along the way, Ling Bingyan showed enough caution that all the food and drink she used were purchased by her own henchmen. She understands very well that if a woman lives among tigers and wolves, she can only live longer by being cautious.

The fact that the Great Elder was not the oldest of the four Elders, but was the highest, was enough to explain the problem. He raised the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Sect Master, today's last missionary lecture was a great success, and I am glad to congratulate you. Why don't we have a glass of wine together and celebrate the new spring of our Divine Martial Sect? ”

Ling Bingyan shook his head and said, "Over the years, when have you seen me drinking?" ”

"Hehe, that's right."

After that, the Great Elder drank all the wine in his cup and sighed, "Ice Flame, how many years have we known each other?" ”

Daring to call the sect leader by his name is a sign of great disrespect. This kind of mistake should never have happened to the Great Elder who had always been respectful to Ling Bingyan, so he dared to call it that, obviously ready for a showdown.

Su Mei'er's brows furrowed, and her little hand hidden under the table was secretly clenched.

Ling Bingyan looked as usual and said, "I forgot." ”

"You forgot? Hehe, you actually forgot..."The Great Elder shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Let me tell you, we have known each other for eighteen years and two months. ”

After hearing this, the three elders next to him, whose dark faces were already full of wrinkles, all cast puzzled glances at the Great Elder. They couldn't figure out why he remembered such a simple thing so clearly?

The Great Elder didn't seem to see everyone's surprised gazes, and continued, "When you first entered the Divine Martial Sect, I was already a Holy Son. I still remember when I first met you, your face was dirty, but it was difficult to hide your peerless appearance, who would have thought that the little girl with a gray face at that time would become the leader of the sect today? ”

Ling Bingyan's expression was as usual, and he even had a smile of remembrance on his face, as if he had returned to eighteen years ago with the words of the Great Elder.

But she didn't mind, but Su Meier was already furious.

exposed the shortcomings in front of the sect leader, and it was clear that he didn't take the sect leader in his eyes at all. From the previous deference to the current carelessness, the change in the attitude of the Great Elder is no different from a blatant rebellion.

Su Mei'er's eyes were like knives, and she said coldly: "Great Elder, please respect yourself!" ”

"Hey-" Ling Bingyan waved his hand and said with a smile: "The Great Elder is my senior, since he has something to say, let him finish it." ”

The Great Elder didn't seem to hear Su Mei'er's words, and said nostalgically: "In a blink of an eye, eighteen years have passed, and you are still so young and beautiful, while I am already old... Over the years, I have watched the Holy Sect reach its peak, and then watched her fall into the abyss, with the ups and downs in between, which is really not for outsiders. I often wonder why the Holy Sect, which was enough to overlook the Western Regions back then, has fallen to what it is now. ”

The smile in Ling Bingyan's eyes did not decrease, and he said, "Have you found the answer?" ”

"I found it."

The Great Elder nodded earnestly, staring at the star-like woman sitting across from him with burning eyes: "If it weren't for the mistakes you made thirteen years ago, we would still be a Holy Sect that is high enough for all the tribes to look up to. In the final analysis, the fall of the Holy Religion is all because of you! ”

Ling Bingyan shook his head, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "I didn't expect the dignified Great Elder of the Divine Martial Sect to be so naïve. I think I need to remind you that no one in power will sit back and watch an organization that is above the imperial power continue to grow, and it is only a matter of time before the emperor weakens the authority of the Holy Sect, and thirteen years ago, I only gave him a justifiable reason. ”

"Ridiculous! As long as the status of the Holy Sect is high enough, high enough to make the royal family out of reach and the entire Western Regions to the heart, who will dare to attack our idea? Ice Flame, I still misread you. I thought that thirteen years of hard thinking could make you see through many things, but I didn't expect that to this day, you are still so negative. The Great Elder suddenly stood up and said angrily, "The Holy Sect is in your hands, and it will only decay step by step!" ”

Ling Bingyan was not angry, he simply leaned on the back of his chair and said, "Then Great Elder, what do you mean..."

A simple sentence made the Great Elder slightly stunned. It was a long time before he sat back in his chair.

"Ice Flame, I didn't think things would get to this point. If you really want the good of the Holy Sect, you should give up the throne of the Holy Sect Master, and let the person who can really lead the Holy Sect to glory sit there, instead of being treated as an eagle dog by the royal family as you are now. ”

Ling Bingyan's eyes were full of contempt: "This person that the Great Elder said... Is it you? ”

"That's right, eldest brother Wen Taowuluo, if he becomes the sect leader, how can the Holy Sect be bullied like now?"

"Hmph, the old man has long been unaccustomed to letting women control the Holy Sect, and it's time to change the rules set a hundred years ago."

"Sect Master, it's not that we don't miss the old feelings, but the Holy Sect has reached a precarious point, I hope you can think about the overall situation."

Before the Great Elder could speak, the other three elders couldn't wait to clarify their views. The three of them are surprisingly unanimous, and even a fool would not believe it if there was no ventilation in the implementation.

"Smack!" Su Mei'er was furious in her heart, slapped her hands on the table, stood up with a "Teng", and roared angrily: "In vain, you are also an elder of the Shenwu Sect, and you are actually trying to usurp the throne!" Such a great rebellious thing is rightly said, and you are worthy of it! ”

was scolded by a junior pointing his nose, and the three of them were furious. Usually she knows that Ran Wuduo is a saint, and the three of them are afraid of three points, but now that they have torn their faces, the three of them no longer have the need to compromise, and they scolded for a while.

"Shut up!"

The Great Elder shouted, stared at Ling Bingyan and said, "Bingyan, I hope you can think about this matter carefully, everyone is from the same school, if it hurts the harmony, it will not be good." ”

Ling Bingyan sneered, "What if I say 'no'? ”

The Great Elder laughed when he heard this: "Bingyan, I always thought you were a smart woman, but your performance disappointed me. I admit that you are a great martial artist, and none of us are your opponents when you fight alone. But now... Are you confident that you can beat four with one? ”

Ling Bingyan said with a smile: "Listening to the tone of the Great Elder, it seems that as long as I am willing to abdicate and make way for Xian, how many people can spare my life?" ”

The Great Elder sighed deeply and said, "Why not? ”

"Big brother!"

"Great Elder!"

The other three said in unison, their faces full of surprise. Such an answer is very different from the results discussed by the previous people. If Ling Bingyan didn't die, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't make a comeback, and when the time came, the three of them, as the accomplices of the Great Elder, would naturally become the targets of Ling Bingyan's revenge, how could they not be surprised?

The Great Elder ignored the three of them's dissuasion, but laughed at himself and sighed, "Bing Yan, you may never be able to imagine how painful it is for a man to silently pay attention to a woman behind his back. He knew that the two of them would have no result, but he would rather wait all the time, even if he saw this woman smile at him, he would be satisfied. ”
