Chapter 69: Bearing Begins in the Heart (1)
Gao Yuanshan, who finally returned to his room, was already exhausted, and the duel with Ruan Qishen just now made his true qi seriously consumed, and he had been inactive for a long time, and the bones in his body were still aching faintly at this time.
Not to mention, his mental exhaustion was far greater than his physical exhaustion.
Gao Yuanshan wanted to reach out and rub the sore part of his back, but he accidentally pulled a certain joint, making a "crunch" sound, which made him feel a little painful.
My old bones are really useless. Gao Yuanshan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
At this time, the wind and rain had completely ceased, and the sky was getting brighter, and just as Gao Yuanshan was about to end this long day and take a good rest, there was another untimely knock on the door of the room.
"Knock Knock"
"Hey," Gao Yuanshan sighed, sat up again, and said, "Come in." ”
The person who came pushed the door in, it was Li Encheng, the senior brother of the Hanshan Sword Sect.
Li Encheng clasped his fists and saluted, and said word by word: "Master, the matter you explained has been dealt with." The disciples and elders who participated in the assembly today in the sect have been pacified, and Ruan Qishen and Ruan Feng have also been imprisoned, awaiting interrogation. ”
"How is Ruan Qishen now?"
"There is no regain of consciousness yet. ”
Gao Yuanshan nodded and looked at Li Encheng, although his expression was serious and serious, Gao Yuanshan could still see some tiredness in the depths of that gaze.
It's really hard for this kid.
Gao Yuanshan knew very well in his heart that if he didn't look at his talent, but only his ability to manage the sect and his loyalty to serve the sect, then Senior Brother Li Encheng would definitely be an excellent candidate for the head of the sect.
If it weren't for the turbulent period he was in, he asked himself if he would be so insistent on letting Su Mulai take over as the head of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, even if he was Su Ke's child.
But the difference between Li Encheng and Su Mu's talents is too great, and Gao Yuanshan has no other way.
"Euncheng, you've worked hard, hurry up and go back to rest. Gao Yuanshan's eyes were also full of distress when he looked at Li Encheng.
"The disciple is not hard, and besides, the disciple still has something to report to the master in charge!" Li Encheng still maintained the posture of saluting, and did not raise his head from beginning to end, which made Gao Yuanshan faintly have a strange premonition in his heart.
"You say. ”
"Master, the disciple just heard from the two friends of the junior brother that the junior brother would escort them to Luojing later. ”
"Well, that's true. However, I have already told Mu'er that he should stay in the sect to cultivate with peace of mind, and the others will send those two back. ”
"Has the candidate been decided?"
"Not yet. Gao Yuanshan had already guessed what Li Encheng was going to say.
"In that case, let the disciple send those two there. After the person is delivered, the disciple wants to travel abroad for a period of time and not return to the sect for the time being. ”
Li Enxiang was as determined as if he had made a lot of determination, and his tone of voice was extremely tough at this time.
Not a request, but a retribution.
"Encheng, why is it so sudden, your master Li Mengru is still recuperating on the couch at the moment. ”
"That's right, it is precisely because of this that the disciple is in a hurry to set off now, if he misses this opportunity, when he sees the master, the disciple is afraid that he will not be able to leave again. Li Encheng finally raised his head and sighed.
"Three years ago, you should have traveled down the mountain and chose to stay behind for the sake of the sect, and now it's really time to leave here and take a look outside. Although he knew in his heart that Li Encheng could help him a lot if he stayed, he really couldn't pull off that face and ask Li Encheng to continue to serve and dedicate himself to the sect.
Obviously, he replaced this kid from the position of head, so what position do you have to ask of him again?
"Thank you, Master, then when this turmoil is completely over, the disciple will set off. Li Encheng saluted again.
"It's okay, how long are you going to go out this time, a year, two years?"
"Master in charge," Li Encheng suddenly knelt down with a "plop", slammed his head on the ground and said, "The disciple doesn't know, maybe three years, maybe five years, maybe longer......"
"What? Is it so long? Do you want to leave the sect just like that?" Gao Yuanshan was shocked, originally thought that Li Encheng just wanted to start the routine trip that was postponed three years ago, usually only one or two years, but he didn't expect Li Encheng to leave for so long this time.
Li Encheng didn't say a word, just raised his body slightly and shook his head.
"Is it because I removed you from the position?"
"No, the disciple knows very well in his heart what kind of person the master is, and he also believes that the master must have made this decision after careful consideration, and this must be the best decision for the sect. Li Encheng still maintained a kowtow posture and said loudly, "The disciple just figured out something. ”
"What's the matter?"
"The disciple was born in the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, was raised by the master and the head master together, learned the moves of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, and has been a member of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect all his life, this will not change. Even now, the disciples have always put the interests of the sect first. ”
"Then why are you leaving for so long at this time, obviously this is the most critical period for the Cold Mountain Sword Sect..."
"It's because of the disciple, it's too weak. Li Encheng said solemnly and sincerely, "In the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, I am already the senior brother of the younger generation, and except for the junior brother, my strength is the strongest. But out of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, I'm nothing, weak as an ant to be slaughtered, like..."
Speaking of this, Li Encheng paused slightly, as if thinking about something, and continued after a while.
"It's like our sect. ”
"In the past three years, the disciple has been helping the master to take care of the affairs of the sect, but he has neglected his personal practice, and his cultivation has not improved for a long time. Three years have passed, Senior Brother Su Mu has reached the peak of the Tongmai Realm, and I am afraid that it is not far from the Star Falling Realm, only me, still standing still. ”
"The disciple is not jealous of Senior Brother Su Mu, and he also knows that Senior Brother Su Mu's talent is far from being comparable to that of the disciple, but the disciple really doesn't like this feeling of being trapped in place, and he doesn't like the feeling that even his favorite sect and master can't protect him because of his own lack of strength!"
"Was it the previous competition, but it wasn't your fault in the first place. Gao Yuanshan held his forehead and said helplessly.
"It's really not the disciple's fault, but this time it's Ruan Qishen, and it's hard to guarantee that there won't be a new person who is hostile to the sect next time. We are still not sure if Ruan Qishen is really related to the murder of the disciples under the mountain, and who knows when the next enemy attack will be?"
"The disciple really doesn't want to hide behind Senior Brother Su Mu anymore, relying on Senior Brother Su Mu's protection to save the sect. If a disciple wants to really grow up, even if he is not the head of the sect, he must take on the responsibilities that this generation of senior brothers should fulfill!"
