Gao Yuanshan listened, and his shock and incomprehension at the beginning gradually turned into embarrassment.

After three years of not seeing, Su Mu is not only taller and childish, but even his personality has changed so much.

He still remembered that when he was a child, Su Mu was an introverted child who was not good at words, but he rejected his request so positively, leaving no room for anything, and expressing his inner thoughts so smoothly and directly.

All of this made Gao Yuanshan both happy and uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but recall what Su Mu's father, Su Ke, had said when he said goodbye to him back then.

At that time, Su Ke also knelt in front of him, kowtowing heavily over and over again, thanking himself and the Hanshan Sword Sect for their nurturing grace, while constantly explaining the reason why he could not take over as the head of the sect.

Because of Su Mu's mother-in-law Qingjue.

Su Ke said that because of Qing Jue's presence, he could not take over as the head. After meeting Qing Jue, he really felt that he was alive.

A life without Qingjue is not the life he wants, and he can't hide Qingjue, who is full of enemies, in Hanshan, which will only bring greater disasters to Hanshan.

So he chose to leave alone, as a traitor to the sect. endured the infamy, just to get rid of Hanshan, and lived an incognito life with Qing Jue.

Gao Yuanshan once had high hopes for Su Ke, believing that he could crack the secrets of the Organ Pavilion and become an excellent master who could lead the Hanshan Sword Sect to glory, but Su Ke gave up, and all he wanted was Qing Jue.

The current Gao Yuanshan also had some hope for Su Mu, believing that he was a rare genius in a hundred years, and he would definitely become the most outstanding disciple of Hanshan in history, but Su Mu also gave up.

Su Mu's heart originated from the cold mountain, but he had already flown to the lofty sky that he didn't even dare to think about.

Gao Yuanshan truly understood at this moment that it was not that the Cold Mountain Sword Sect was not important to Su Mu, but that in addition to the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, freedom and the unknown world were more important to him.

In the eyes of the young Su Mu, one side is responsibility and obligation, and the other side is freedom and rights, which is an unfair comparison.

Sure enough, it was Hak'er's child, and even the expression and tone at this time were exactly the same, and even a few years earlier than his father.

Gao Yuanshan smiled helplessly, maybe this is fate.

"Mu'er, what do you mean, Master understands. But there is still something that Master does not understand. Gao Yuanshan spoke, "Even if this position of head is a constraint for you, you can wait until you take over and get the treasure of the Organ Pavilion before leaving." Why do you want to say no so early?"

"Master. If the disciple takes over this master, it is equivalent to taking over the inheritance of all the disciples of the Hanshan Sword Sect for the twenty-three generations, and this responsibility will always accompany the disciple, and the disciple will definitely not be able to do such a rash thing. ”

"Moreover, Master also said that if the treasure in the Pavilion is born, it will definitely bring disaster to the sect. In this case, it should be handed over to the most suitable head in order to play its best role. Su Mu said seriously.

"Master understands what you said, but have you ever thought about it, if you don't have time to wait for someone to crack the secret of that pavilion, the Hanshan Sword Sect will have already been killed, what should you do at this time? ”

"The disciple knows. The disciple also knows that his current strength is not enough to protect the sect, so the disciple will work harder and practice harder, and he will definitely find a way to find out the person who is making trouble behind his back. Su Mu said solemnly, "The disciple doesn't want to take over as the head of the sect, but he will definitely not leave the sect behind!"

Looking at the little bit of killing intent emanating from the young man's body, Gao Yuanshan regarded Su Mu as a fellow disciple of the same generation rather than a disciple for the first time in his life.

Although she looks like she is only thirteen years old, has Su Mu changed a little too much in the past three years? Is it really possible for a person's personality to change so much in three years, or is there something else she has encountered that she doesn't know?

Gao Yuanshan is getting a little harder and harder to overlap the person in front of him with the ignorant, innocent and stubborn child back then.

Knowing that this matter was no longer negotiable, Gao Yuanshan sighed silently in his heart.

"Okay, Mu'er, since you insist, Master will not force you to take over as the head. Gao Yuanshan finally compromised.

"Master Xie!" Su Mu was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to get up, but was pressed on his shoulder by Gao Yuanshan with one hand.

"Don't worry, although the head of the house doesn't need you to be the master, you have to promise the master another thing!" Gao Yuanshan's tone was suddenly very serious.

"What's the matter?" Su Mu frowned slightly.

"You can not be in charge, and Master is willing to let you chase the life you want. But you have to take on the obligation to protect the sect, not just words, you have to take actual actions. “

"What does Master want the disciple to do?" asked Su Mu.

"You are thirteen years old this year, and you will be sixteen years old in three years, and then it will be the clan assembly of the 4,800 sects in the Tunan Kingdom every seven years. ”

Su Mu nodded, of course he had heard of this largest event in the territory of the Tunan Kingdom.

The clan conference is the only way for the clans of the middle three gates and the lower three sects to attack the upper three sects and even the ten great clans. The clan assembly was organized by the royal family of Tunan, and its ranking directly determined the power order of all clans in Tunanguo for the next seven years. Ensure that every clan has an equal opportunity to access the highest halls of power.

The clan assembly only accepts clan disciples under the age of thirty who are above the sea viewing realm to participate. Because only young people represent the future of a clan.

"Mu'er, as long as you come out on top in the clan conference in three years and get the first place in the Tunan Country Elegance List, you can help the Hanshan Sword Sect be promoted to the upper three sects, or even the Ten Masters Clan, and when the time comes, with the attention of the world and the protection of the royal family, you can naturally ensure the longevity of my Hanshan Sword Sect. ”

"At that time, it doesn't matter whether you are the head of the house or not, because everyone in the world knows that you are standing behind the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, as long as you are alive for a day, no one will dare to have any disadvantage to my Cold Mountain Sword Sect. At that time, no matter where you are, you can protect the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, just like..."

Gao Yuanshan suddenly paused, stared at Su Mu, and then looked at the Karakuri box in Su Mu's hand.

"It's like it was too white back then. ”

......

"Mu'er, can you do it?"
