Chapter 72: Pei Xianhua's proposal
Under Pei Xianhua's order, the disciples who were watching from a distance gradually dispersed.
Xu Anping's feet did not move.
Seeing this, the three elders stared at him closely.
"Xu Anping, don't worry, we won't make another move on you, I said, what happened just now was just a misunderstanding, let's find a quiet place to make it clear."
Pei Xianhua patiently explained.
Xu Anping was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I also want to figure out why Elder Fang attacked me indiscriminately. ”
It didn't take long for several people to arrive at the council chamber.
Pei Xianhua sat in the main seat, Wu Daqian and Zheng Fengyu sat in the first and lower places respectively, and Xu Anping and Fang Boren sat opposite each other in the second row.
Luo Tianle and the others all retreated.
"Today's incident is indeed just a misunderstanding, Elder Fang received the wrong information, and was misled, thinking that Xu Anping was a spy, so he would attack you, about this matter, I would like to ask Elder Fang to explain it to you."
Hearing the words of the door master Bei Xianhua, although Fang Boren didn't know why he suddenly changed his opinion, he still told the information he had obtained before and his own speculation.
After hearing his words, Xu Anping sneered.
"So, do you think that the personal disciple mentioned in the intelligence is Luo Tianle, and the spy is me?"
"As a spy elder, he is so reckless in his life, he is completely led by the nose, and he doesn't even have the ability to think for himself, can't you see that it was false information deliberately revealed by the other party?"
The corners of Fang Boren's eyes twitched.
Although he was extremely dissatisfied with this evaluation, listening to Bei Xianhua's meaning, it seemed that he had misunderstood the other party, but he didn't refute anything, just looked at Bei Xianhua and waited for the other party's explanation.
"Indeed, we have been misled by the Red Flame Gate."
Bei Xianhua sighed, said the guess just now, looked at Xu Anping again, and said with emotion:
"If Xu Anping is just an ordinary Bone Forging Realm martial artist, his behavior of hiding his strength, coupled with that false information, may make us even more convinced that he is a spy."
"Fortunately, Xu Anping's strength is too strong and he was not hurt by Elder Fang, which also allowed us to discover the unreasonableness of this false information."
"Otherwise, you will really follow the will of the Red Flame Gate and wronged your own people."
"Here, I would like to say solemnly to Xu Anping and Elder Zheng that I am sorry!"
Xu Anping didn't speak, but looked at Fang Boren quietly, who barely pulled out a smile on his face and said, "It's me who is too impulsive, I'm sorry!" ”
Xu Anping nodded indifferently and said, "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, then there should be nothing to do with me next, and the disciple will retire first." ”
When he was about to get up and leave, Bei Xianhua stopped him: "Wait, Xu Anping, the previous misunderstanding has been resolved, but there is another thing related to you next, please wait for a while." ”
"Don't worry, it's a good thing this time."
Xu Anping sat down suspiciously: "Is there anything else related to me?" ”
Bei Xianhua did not answer directly, but looked at the three elders, his face was solemn, and said:
"Xu Anping, a disciple of this sect, has extraordinary talent and extraordinary strength, I propose to promote Xu Anping to the seventh elder of this sect, I don't know what you think?"
The three elders were startled at the same time.
In the Xuanyue Sect, on average, it takes about five years for an elite disciple or senior deacon to be promoted to elder, but occasionally an elder falls in battle, so the total number of elders has fluctuated over the past few decades, usually maintaining six or seven.
These people, who are not experienced in a hundred battles, have made countless contributions to the sect, and only succeeded in being promoted to elder at the age of thirty or fifty.
And now, Xu Anping, who is only sixteen years old, has been personally proposed by the master of the sect to be promoted to elder, what a kind of treatment.
But.
Thinking of Xu Anping's performance in the battle just now, and the current age of the other party, they also felt that this proposal was normal.
Although this world also pays attention to seniority, it pays more attention to strength.
Since Xu Anping has the same strength as an elder, he is qualified to become an elder.
"I agree."
"I agree."
"I agree."
The three elders nodded in agreement.
Bei Xianhua looked at Xu Anping again and asked his opinion: "Xu Anping, are you willing to become the seventh elder of Xuanyue Sect?" ”
Xu Anping shook his head: "No need, I just want to be an ordinary disciple and cultivate with peace of mind, and I don't want to be promoted to an elder for the time being." ”
He knew that after becoming an elder, the benefits and benefits would definitely be much better than they were now, at the very least, the Qi and Blood Pill, as a daily cultivation material, would be able to have a sufficient supply.
But he also understands that as much as he gets, he has to pay, the elder's welfare is good, but there are also many obligations that need to be undertaken, especially in the current special situation, every elder needs to face the pressure of the Red Flame Gate, once there is a head-on conflict with the Red Flame Gate, the elder must rush to the forefront of the battle.
Even if he has the strength of the elder level, once he encounters such a big battle, the danger is not small.
Therefore, Xu Anping would rather wait for a while longer, at least to upgrade his cultivation to the late stage of the Dirt Refining Realm, and be sure that he would face the siege of several elders at the same time before he would consider being promoted to elder.
Seeing that he refused, the four people present were shocked.
They struggled for decades before they were successfully promoted to elders, and now Xu Anping was unusually promoted at the age of sixteen, but he actually refused!
The goal they have been fighting for for decades is so worthless in Xu Anping's eyes?
Such a gap made the four of them feel unbelievable and a little depressed at the same time.
Bei Xianhua was stunned for a moment, and then continued to persuade:
"If you become an elder, you can enjoy far more treatment than before, whether it is money, status, or resources, it is a hundred times better than now."
"Think about it, with your talent, if you have more Qi and Blood Pills and other resources, your cultivation speed will definitely be able to further accelerate, and your martial arts path will be able to go further."
Xu Anping still shook his head: "I heard that there are a lot of things to do after becoming an elder, I only like to concentrate on cultivation, and I don't have the heart to be busy with other things." ”
Hearing this, Pei Xianhua finally understood what Xu Anping was worried about, and hurriedly said:
"If you want to cultivate with peace of mind, then I can promise that after becoming an elder, you can also retreat for a year, and within this year, as long as it is not a crisis of extinction, you don't need to take action."
"A year later, when there are special circumstances that need to dispatch the elders, they will also arrange other people first, and then arrange you if there is really a shortage of manpower, try to ensure that you have enough time for cultivation, what do you think?"
Xu Anping immediately smiled:
"Okay, I agreed."
