"I can. Su Mu didn't have any extra thoughts at all, and he didn't avoid Gao Yuanshan's eyes at all, and replied to the past as soon as possible, his tone was still so calm and confident.

Whether it can be done or not, Su Mu actually doesn't know in his heart. How rare is the first place in this clan conference, the young Su Mu does not have a very intuitive understanding in his heart at this time, and he is even less aware of the hidden reason behind Gao Yuanshan's proposal.

Su Mu was just thinking in his heart, since Master Gao Yuanshan had already given such a plan, he had absolutely no reason to refuse, just now boasted that Haikou would not rely on the power of the secret treasure in the Cabinet and only rely on his own sword to protect the sect, so what reason was there to retreat now?

"You have to think clearly, Mu'er, if you agree, you will have to stay in the sect in the next few years, practice hard, and be strict with yourself. Gao Yuanshan emphasized, "If you fail, it means that you can't take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the sect with your own sword, and at that time, you will really have to take on the responsibility of being the head of the sect." ”

Su Mu frowned when he heard this, he obviously didn't expect that Gao Yuanshan had also added a restriction that he couldn't leave the sect for the past few years, he thought that he could just travel and practice, but now it was obviously beyond Su Mu's expectations.

"Why do you have to stay in the sect?" Su Mu couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, your current strength is not enough to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, and it is safest to stay in the sect. It's your luck to meet three Qi Void Realm masters this time and you haven't died yet, do you have such good luck every time?" Gao Yuanshan said solemnly, "Besides, according to the rules of the sect, disciples can only travel down the mountain when they are sixteen years old, and you won't forget it after leaving for three years, right?"

Of course, Su Mu knew very well that his strength was not enough, but this feeling of being trapped still made him a little uncomfortable.

After all, he was still no match for Gao Yuanshan's strength, so Su Mu nodded and agreed.

Anyway, the master also said that as long as the strength reaches the sea viewing realm, you can also go out to travel, and it is good to work hard to achieve it as soon as possible. Su Mu thought so in his heart.

"I accept Master's conditions. ”

Gao Yuanshan knew that Su Mu was not joking, but he thought that Su Mu didn't really realize what kind of difficult challenge he was taking.

An almost impossible challenge.

There are 4,800 clans in the Tunan Kingdom, but only 100 of them can rank among the top three sects. And the strongest of them, the Ten Jie Clan, has not been replaced for nearly two hundred years.

As the apex of the Tunan Kingdom, the Ten Jie Clans not only hold the subordinate management rights of all the clans, but also enjoy the privileges and rights provided by the royal family of the Tunan Kingdom, all of which are incomparable to any other clan.

And the resources they have accumulated can help them attract more outstanding young people to join. Often, those clans of the middle three sects and the lower three sects are not unable to produce a genius of cultivation, but this kind of genius is generally tempted by the big clans with better cultivation resources when they are just emerging, and how many talented people from poor families are willing to stay in their own broken temples for the rest of their lives?

With the accumulation of time, the advantage of resources has pulled the advantage of talents. In this way, the gap between the original clans was widened little by little, and gradually formed an indestructible class barrier.

What is the purpose of a cultivator's continuous hard training? Of course, it is to go to a larger clan to have better resources and more opportunities.

Of course, it is no problem for individuals who do not have a strong sense of clan, but for those small clans who want to get ahead, especially for sects that do not have a strong family concept, how to prevent outstanding sect disciples from being tempted to leave is enough to make the heads of the sect think about it.

The Cold Mountain Sword Sect happened to be in such a middle position.

Gifted disciples naturally want to go further, and often after achieving a good result in the clan conference, they will be thrown an olive branch by the upper three sects and leave.

Disciples who have no talent can only stick to the clan and stay in the original class for the rest of their lives.

This is the unbridgeable chasm.

And now, although there is a talented Su Mu, Gao Yuanshan is not sure that he can keep him well. This is also why the clan elders often have extremely strong gains and losses for extremely talented disciples.

The better the talent, the more likely you are to leave your clan.

That's why Gao Yuanshan made a heart eye here. He knew that Su Mu's talent was very good, but the thirteen-year-old Su Mu was only at the peak level of the Tongmai Realm, even if the sword talent was superb, but within the upper three gates, there were many people who reached the Sea Viewing Realm at the age of thirteen.

Even after three years, Su Mu was only at the level of the Star Falling Realm, and at that time, the best disciples in the Ten Masters Clan around the age of thirty could all be promoted to the Sky Breaking Realm.

Gao Yuanshan didn't think that Su Mu could be compared to such a strong man at the age of sixteen or seventeen.

Su Mu is very strong, but it shouldn't be strong enough to that extent. You must know that the higher the True Qi realm, the greater the gap between each level. The Body Refining Realm can compete with the Tongmai Realm with its swordsmanship and martial arts, but the powerhouses of the Qi Void Realm are only afraid that they won't be able to use three moves.

But on the other hand, with Su Mu's age and such a good talent in swordsmanship, not to mention a public occasion like the clan conference, even if he just traveled down the mountain, he would definitely be targeted and poached by the spies of the big clan.

Gao Yuanshan himself had encountered such a thing, and there were even more clans who wanted to poach Su Mu's father Su Ke.

So instead of letting Su Mu go out on a trip and be poached away from the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, it would be better to set an impossible goal for this arrogant child. In this way, after he fails, he will obediently come back and take over the position of head.

Gao Yuanshan also thought about the situation if Su Mu didn't admit it and left directly, but in the end, he didn't think that this kid would do such a ruthless thing. On the one hand, Gao Yuanshan also knew that Su Mu had a sense of belonging to the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, on the other hand, if he really did this, it could only be said that his fate should be like this, and no matter what way he used, it would be impossible to force him to stay.

For Gao Yuanshan himself, he knew very well that his talent could only be regarded as good. Although the upper three sects invited him, he was only a disciple of the outer sect and did not have the opportunity to enter the core, so he refused.

But Su Mu is different from Su Ke, they can almost definitely enter the core position, and the temptation of this is very different.

This is the unspoken selfishness of Gao Yuanshan who has always asked Su Mu to take over as the head of the sect as soon as possible, although it is difficult to say, but he does want to trap this genius in the Hanshan Sword Sect with the position of head of the sect.

Gao Yuanshan looked at Su Mu at this time, and his heart was full of guilt. He knew that this kid didn't know that he had been calculated, and he just thought that the master didn't trust his strength and gave him a test.
