Su Mu did not forget the agreement with the head of Gao Yuanshan, and after a simple wash and breakfast, he came to the Hanshan Ancestral Hall as soon as possible.

The Hanshan Ancestral Hall is the most solemn place in Hanshan, and generally only the annual New Year's ceremony and ancestor worship will gather here. Usually, it is a forbidden place for the sect, and it is guarded by cabinet guards, and ordinary disciples are not even allowed to come close to see it.

At this time, Su Mu obviously felt a different atmosphere in the ancestral hall. The second uncle, the third uncle, the fourth uncle, and almost all the disciples of the inner and outer sects gathered together, and even the disciples of the outer sects were all standing neatly in the side hall or outside the hall. The crowd of black pressure is densely packed. Everyone's faces were full of doubts and incomprehension, Su Mu was already happy, and this feeling was a little overwhelming. It seems that no one knows why the head of the family is gathered here almost all of them on this very ordinary day.

Otowa also came to the crowd early in the morning, although yesterday Takatoyama promised to accept Otoha as a personal disciple, but after all, there was no official announcement, and Otowa was still not allowed to enter the inner hall for the time being.

Su Mu and Otoyu smiled at each other across the crowd, and then walked into the hall.

Su Mu's presence did not attract any attention, and most people just glanced at him and stopped paying attention. Su Mu didn't have any special sense of existence except that he was favored by Gao Yuanshan. In addition, he has not been practicing in the dojo with his brothers and sisters recently, and everyone in the sect has forgotten this silly boy more and more.

Su Mu was not surprised by such an attitude, and he didn't take it too seriously, so he directly picked a corner of the lobby and sat down, hiding in the crowd. He even began to reminisce about the details of last night's competition with Master.

With an amazing memory, he perfectly revisited the duel in his mind and wondered if there was anything he could do to improve. Soon he was immersed in his own world.

After another time of about a stick of incense, the whispers in the lobby suddenly quieted down, and it turned out that it was the head of the house, Gao Yuanshan, and the three great elders of the cabinet who came.

Gao Yuanshan looked brisk and relaxed, which was very different from the somewhat old image in everyone's impression on weekdays. And the three Great Elders had serious expressions, and they couldn't tell what they were thinking.

"Cough" After standing in the main seat, Gao Yuanshan cleared his throat, motioned for everyone to listen quietly, and then spoke in a neutral and somewhat excited voice that Su Mu had rarely heard.

"Today, after discussing with the three Great Elders, I temporarily decided to let the entire Hanshan Sword Sect gather 1,500 people here, just to announce two major events. Speaking of this, the head Gao Yuanshan paused, glanced at Li Mengru, the third uncle standing in the audience, and continued.

"The first thing is that I, Gao Yuanshan, decided to accept the twenty-third generation disciple Otoha as the second personal disciple, and in the future, I will follow my eldest disciple Su Mu with the surname Su. ”

"Brush" everyone's eyes looked at the inconspicuous sound feather in the crowd outside the hall. Although this girl is delicate and cute, because she is only a partial disciple, her kendo talent is not outstanding, and she has not received everyone's attention. Now that he is suddenly accepted as the head of the family, he is jealous in addition to being puzzled.

Otoha's face flushed, a scene she didn't dare to dream of, but now it happened. All of this was brought by the brother in the crowd who was smiling softly at him.

"Otowa, come to the inner sanctum. Gao Yuanshan smiled and waved his hand at Otoha. Otowa stepped forward under the gaze of the crowd. She didn't choose to go to the nearest place next to the master to stand and enjoy everyone's gaze, but stood next to Su Mu in the corner, looking at him with a smile. Su Mu was a little embarrassed to watch.

"As for the other matter," Gao Yuanshan continued, "Everyone knows that I, Gao Yuanshan, am the twenty-first head of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, and it has been almost fifty years since I took over as the head of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect. In these forty years, I have witnessed the growth and maturity of generations of disciples of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect. Now I am more than 80 years old, and I have been obsessed with kendo all my life, and I have reached an age where I am unable to do it. Now that the twenty-third generation of disciples has grown up, it is time to select a qualified new head for the Cold Mountain Sword Sect. ”

It turned out to be the matter of the new leader, and there was some uproar in the audience, this was indeed a major event worthy of the entire Hanshan Sword Sect gathering together.

The head of the sect, Gao Yuanshan, continued, "It has been hundreds of years since the establishment of my Cold Mountain Sword Sect, and although it is still standing after several ups and downs, it is difficult to go further in the rating of the Tunan Sect. A few years ago, I discussed this matter with the three Great Elders, and at that time we agreed that Li Encheng, a disciple of the third junior disciple Li Mengru and the most outstanding eldest disciple of the twenty-third generation, should be the best candidate for the next head. But now is different from the past, I have another person who I think is more suitable, and after I discussed with the three elders again, I finally decided that for the sake of the revival of my Hanshan Sword Sect, in order to be able to impact the rating of the three sects, it is necessary to discuss with everyone here about my personal disciple Su Mu, taking over as the twenty-third generation head. “

I didn't expect the turning point in the second half of the head of Gao Yuanshan. Everyone in the audience, including the third uncle Li Mengru, was almost stunned, and many people's mouths were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. Although the third uncle couldn't see any expression, he obviously frowned. Li Encheng, the twenty-third generation senior brother who was standing beside the third uncle, was also a little puzzled. The first question on almost everyone's mind is:

Which Sumu?

Oh, it's the Su Mu that the head of Gao Yuanshan has always favored.

That stupid guy who is less than ten years old?

I've heard that he doesn't seem to have a very good brain development since he was a child, and he has always had a bit of a problem.

What does this master mean, such a person can take over as the master? Just because the master likes him the most?

I said earlier that this man was the illegitimate son of the master in charge, but you didn't believe it at the time.

Soon everyone found Su Mu who was at a loss in the corner of the crowd, this sudden change made Su Mu also surprised, he never expected that the master would call him to come to the ancestral hall for this. Otoha, who has just been promoted to a personal disciple, is even more surprised and delighted, he has just become a disciple of the current head, and he will soon become the junior sister of the next head?

There were more and more whispers in the audience, but the head Gao Yuanshan didn't care, he just stared straight at the third uncle Li Mengru, observing Li Mengru's reaction.

Gao Yuanshan also knew that it didn't matter how everyone reacted to this matter, the key was to see whether the third uncle, Li Mengru, recognized it or not.

If Li Mengru admits it, then it is meaningless for many people to oppose it, after all, Li Mengru and Li Encheng are the ones who are directly affected. And Li Mengru is a straightforward person, if he is not convinced, it is impossible to agree, if he does, he will be convinced, and there will be no more Xiao Jiujiu. So he was silently waiting for Li Mengru's response.

"Silence!" After a while, Li Mengru, who had been silent, finally spoke, "What kind of place do you think of this place, and what kind of system do you whisper about? This is the Inner Sect Ancestral Hall! The ancestors of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect are watching you, all of them are silent!"

Li Mengru's voice was not loud, and he couldn't hear any emotion, but he effectively suppressed the commotion off the field.

When the crowd quieted down, Li Mengru turned to the head of the stage, Gao Yuanshan and the three elders, bowed and saluted, and said, "Senior brother in charge, elders, regarding the candidate for the next head of the family, junior brother Li Mengru, there are objections!"

"Well, you say. The head Gao Yuanshan replied.

Li Mengru stood up and brushed his sleeves. continued: "The head of the sect is the head of a sect, and the matter is too big to be arbitrarily decided. Now that the disciple of the junior brother, Li Encheng, has just turned sixteen, his true qi cultivation has reached the star, and the swordsmanship realm has reached the peak of the Yuanrong realm, and he is the best among the twenty-third generation of disciples in terms of talent, talent and strength. The senior brother is not speaking for his own disciples, if the senior brother in charge insists on replacing Encheng, I hope that the senior brother will give Encheng and the disciples of the whole sect a reasonable explanation!"

With that, he picked up the saber he was carrying, clasped his hands into fists, and knelt down on one knee.

"I hope that the senior brother in charge will give the junior brother a reasonable explanation!" he increased the volume, and Li Mengru repeated again.

At this time, Li Encheng, who was originally standing behind Li Mengru, also stepped forward and knelt beside Li Mengru with a sword in the same posture. Said loudly.

"I hope the master in charge will give Encheng a reasonable explanation!"

The senior brother Li Encheng, who has just turned sixteen, is young and vigorous, and he is an absolute idol-level figure even among the twenty-third generation disciples who have excellent overall talent and talents. Originally, he could go down the mountain to practice after reaching the age of sixteen, but now in order to prepare for the seven-year clan conference at the end of this year, he chose to continue to stay in the sect to refine, and this attitude towards the sect also made many elders very satisfied. Since he entered the inner sect at the age of ten, he has been recognized by the sect as the best candidate for the next head.

Li Encheng was also an orphan adopted by the Hanshan Sword Sect, and grew up in the sect without a father or mother. For Li Encheng himself, he has valued the revival of the sect more than himself since he was a child. If there is really a more suitable candidate than himself, Li Encheng does not mind abdicating to make way for Xian, and sincerely assists. But if the master in charge of the family appoints another head out of personal feelings, Li Encheng will never agree.

Now, to let such an outstanding disciple make way for a child of unknown origin has also touched the backlash of many disciples. This is their long-time idol brother.

Immediately, the second senior brother Ruan Feng and the fourth senior brother Li Xihan, the twenty-third generation disciples, also stepped forward and knelt behind the senior brother Li Encheng in almost the same posture. Without any communication, more and more disciples got up, knelt beside the senior brother, and echoed loudly.

"I hope the master will give an explanation!"

Gao Yuanshan, who had long expected the development of things, was not alarmed, and said to Li Mengru in the audience, "Senior brother, I know that you are angry in your heart, and this is also human nature. But you have to believe that my judgment and decision are definitely not arbitrary, but really for the sake of the entire Cold Mountain Sword Sect. Your disciple Li Encheng is a rare genius in ten years, and the whole sect is very recognized. Since you ask for an explanation, I'll give it to you. ”

After saying that, the head Gao Yuanshan beckoned to Su Mu, who was at a loss in the corner of the crowd, and said, "Child, come forward." ”

"Yes, Master. Coming back from his astonishment, Su Mu replied, hearing the call of the head of Gao Yuanshan, Su Mu subconsciously walked to the front of the stage, crossed the crowd, and knelt down beside the third uncle, Li Mengru.

Su Mu didn't dare to look at the face of the third uncle, he didn't expect such a development at all. I heard the head Gao Yuanshan continue to speak, "The reason why I want to appoint my personal disciple Su Mu as the next head is very simple, Su Mu is a super genius who has never appeared since the establishment of the sect!"

Super genius, this evaluation once again made the audience explode, this stupid kid is a super genius?

Are you kidding?

Li Mengru raised his head and carefully looked at this child he had never looked at before. When Gao Yuanshan first brought the infant child back to the sect, Li Mengru didn't care much, just thought that he was one of the orphans who was sent to the sect. Later, when Gao Yuanshan wanted to accept him as his only personal disciple, Li Mengru didn't take it too seriously, but felt that it might be that his senior brother had not been a personal disciple for too long, and wanted to accept one for his own support. Now that Gao Yuanshan wants to appoint him as the next head, Li Mengru finds that he can't see through the thoughts of the senior brother in charge.
