Chapter 27: Heads-up
"Young Pavilion Master, I'm afraid today's matter will be difficult to be good!" When the three old men met with Murong Di and the Great Elder, they all lowered their heads and sighed.
Murong Di nodded and said, "I already know the thoughts of the four elders. You have been able to sustain it up to now, and you are worthy of my father's spirit in heaven. Next, leave it to me!"
The Second Elder said hurriedly: "Young Pavilion Master, have you come up with a good countermeasure? The Seventh Elder had already taken advantage of the younger disciples by virtue of being your father's younger brother. Now, he has invited the county guard to rely on, if he doesn't have a strong means, it will be difficult to defeat him today!"
Murong Di didn't answer the Second Elder's words, her beautiful eyes glowed with coldness, staring at Murong Yuming with a smile on her face.
Seeing this, the county guard on Murong Yuming's side coughed a few times and said, "This, Murong Di, the Ethereal Pavilion is in our district, and it can be regarded as a big sect." Now that you are in such a stalemate, it will bring great inconvenience to the security of our district. For this, I had to rush. β
Glancing at everyone present, the county guard said: "You are all a family, and you are all for the good of the Ethereal Pavilion, so it doesn't make much difference which is the master of the pavilion." β
"The county marshal is very reasonable, and I have been persuading my niece like this these days. It's a pity that she is stubborn and can't listen. Murong Yuming had a complaining look on his face.
The county guard's face sank and said: "Then you can't be so stiff, right? As the county guard of the district, for the sake of the safety of the people, I must put the matter to an end today! Otherwise, if you continue to make trouble like this, the people of our district and Acheng will be in panic all day long, which will affect production. β
Murong Yuming hurriedly said: "What Lord County Shou said is that I am very willing to cooperate with Lord County Shou's arrangement. β
The county guard looked at Murong Di again and said, "Murong Di, what do you say." β
Looking at the undisguised smug smile on Murong Yuming's face, a wisp of murderous intent crossed Murong Di's eyes, and he said coldly: "Lord County Shou has already said this, what else do I Murong Di have to say? How does Lord County Shou want to arrange it? It won't let me directly hand over my deceased father's life's work to a white-eyed wolf, right?"
"White-eyed wolf?" Murong Yuming sneered and said, "Niece Di, you can really say it! Since the second brother founded the Ethereal Pavilion, why haven't I accompanied the Ethereal Pavilion to rise and fall? If the second brother is alive, he will definitely uphold justice, even if you are his daughter!"
Murong Di sneered: "Second Uncle accompanied the Ethereal Pavilion to rise and fall together? How do I remember when I was a child, my Murong family only had one gentleman who didn't want to make progress and caused trouble everywhere? If it weren't for my father apologizing to people everywhere and teaching him everything he had learned all his life, Second Uncle, what would this gentleman look like in the end?"
"The prodigal son will not change his money!" Seeing this, the county guard interjected with a smile, "Murong Di, there will always be times when a person does something wrong, and we can't beat him on the pillar of shame for the rest of his life because of his misdeeds in his early years. I also heard about your second uncle Murong Yuming's early years. That's all in the past, now, look forward!"
Murong Di looked at the county guard with cold eyes and said, "The matter didn't happen to the county guard, the county guard is really good-minded." β
The county guard's face suddenly darkened.
"Lord County Shou, why do you want to be like a woman with long hair and short knowledge?" Seeing this, Murong Yuming hurriedly became a peacemaker, and said with a self-reproachful face, "It's all to blame for my poor discipline." When my second brother died, I was quiet in my pain and neglected to discipline her. Now, not only has the county keeper been angry, but I've also sufferedβ"
"If I say it, my ears are calloused. Murong Di coldly interrupted Murong Yuming's words and said, "Lord County Guard, Second Uncle, aren't you just trying to force me to give up my position as Pavilion Master? However, I can also give you a chance. β
"What chance?" Murong Yuming's heart perked.
Now, he has the identity of all the young elders and half of the disciples of the Ethereal Pavilion, with the support of the county guard, and those two deadly treasures in his hands, he is not afraid that Murong Di will play any tricks!
Murong Di said: "Since the second uncle and I both want to become the pavilion master, then, let's have a simple one-on-one confrontation between you and me." As the pavilion master of the Ethereal Pavilion, of course the choice of force is more outstanding, there is no need to doubt this. What do you say, second uncle?"
The Great Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder looked shocked.
If Murong Yuming really accepted this request, then the position of the pavilion master would definitely belong to Murong Di!
Murong Di's qualifications are not good, and his cultivation is comparable to that of other elders' personal disciples, and only the intermediate martial arts cultivators are cultivated.
However, she is extremely diligent and has very solid basic skills!
Although she only has an intermediate Martial Venerable cultivation, in real battles, she can often exert the strength of a superior Martial Venerable!
And Murong Yuming is different!
Murong Yuming was well-known in Ou Acheng in the early years, and his body had already been hollowed out by wine.
Later, the first pavilion master used various medicinal materials to warm his body, and took him with him to train him carefully, plus he did have good qualifications in martial arts, so his current cultivation is one stage higher than Murong Di, and he is a superior martial artist.
However, his nature has not changed, even when the first pavilion master is alive, he often spends all his time drinking and mingling with the young disciples and elders in the sect, and neglects to cultivate.
Therefore, although he has the strength of a superior martial artist, he can't beat Murong Di when he really fights!
The four elders including the Great Elder expected that Murong Yuming would retreat in every possible way, and finally let the county guard intervene and choose a battle in which Murong Di was weak.
What they didn't expect was that Murong Yuming and the other three elders looked at each other and smiled.
"Yes, I completely agree!Pavilion Master, you must choose the one with better force!" Murong Yuming turned around and looked at Murong Di with a meaningful expression, and then said to the county guard, "Lord County Shou, you also heard it, this is proposed by my niece Di herself, and the conditions are favorable to her." However, as her elder, how could I not be wronged and agreed? No, I am an elder. β
There was a buzzing noise all around.
In the square, all the disciples looked puzzled.
They don't understand, where does Murong Yuming get his confidence?
The Great Elder and the other four elders looked at each other.
They can be sure that Murong Yuming has definitely done something!
Murong Di was also extremely puzzled in his heart.
Judging from the spiritual power emanating from his second uncle, his cultivation has not changed at all.
So, where did he get the confidence to be able to overcome himself?
Seeing that Murong Yuming was so confident, the county guard nodded, looked at Murong Di and said, "Murong Di, now it is your own request, and your second uncle has also agreed, so you can't go back! The one who wins is the one who is the first pavilion master of the Ethereal Excellency, and the one who loses is at the disposal of the other party! Of course, this county guard believes that even if your second uncle Murong Yuming wins, as an elder, he will not ask too much of you. Alright, let's start the joust!"
