Chapter XXVI: Strong opposition
"What advice?" Qingtian was a little surprised when he heard Qinghe's words, and subconsciously asked rhetorically.
Qinghe glanced around, most of the other elders were gathering with their disciples at this moment, and the rest were also some distance from the two, so he lowered his voice.
"Senior Brother in charge, I would like to suggest that the sect focus on cultivating Linfeng and establish Linfeng as the successor of the head in the future!"
Qingtian raised his eyes and took a quick look at Qinghe, but his face was impassive, and he spoke softly and lightly.
"Senior brother, this matter is very important, it is not something that can be decided in one or two sentences, and now is not the time to talk about this matter, let's talk about it later!"
Qinghe looked at the current situation, it was really not suitable to talk about this issue, secretly scolded himself for being too anxious, and said softly: "Yes!"
Qinghe stood aside after speaking, but his heart was extremely uneasy, and he was determined to promote Lin Feng as the future successor of the head of the family.
After discovering Linfeng's strength and potential, Qinghe had already regarded Linfeng as the hope for the future revitalization and rise of the Qingyang Sect.
Moreover, with the potential and qualifications that Linfeng was currently showing, none of the disciples of the Qingyang Sect could compare with him.
As for Linyun, although Qinghe has always been optimistic about him, Linyun can't bear the burden of the rise of Qingyang Sect, so he can only be a person who keeps his success.
And through this sect competition, the gap between Linyun and the big disciples of other factions has also been completely exposed, if you can't make changes, after Linyun takes over the throne in the future, it means that the Qingyang Sect will be inferior to the other factions in terms of the highest combat power.
At present, although the overall strength of the Qingyang Sect is lower than that of the other sects of the Six Palaces and Fifteen Sects, it is still equal in terms of maximum combat power, and the strength of the head of the Qingtian sect is not weaker than that of the palace masters of each faction.
It is precisely because of this that the other factions can maintain peace with the Qingyang Sect on the surface, and if Linyun succeeds to the throne, the overall strength and highest combat power of the Qingyang Sect are not as good as others, then the other factions will definitely flock to tear the Qingyang Sect apart.
Qinghe is indeed dedicated to the Qingyang Sect and does not have any selfish intentions, but the suggestion made by Qinghe is a big taboo in Qingtian's opinion.
In fact, the power structure of the major sects in the cultivation world is not much different from the state structure of the mortal world, in the final analysis, it is actually the same.
Linyun's identity is no different from the crown prince in a secular state, and he is the successor of the highest power in the future.
Qinghe proposed to change the head of the family, just like the minister of state proposed that the emperor change the crown prince, and he was already involved in the battle for the storage position.
Qingtian didn't glance at Qinghe, although there was no fluctuation on his face, he was already dissatisfied in his heart.
Although Qingtian has always been more lenient with Xiaoyang Peak, and will come forward to defend it when other elders crowd out Qingyuan, this is just for the sake of the contribution of Qingyuan's father and son to the Qingyang Sect, in fact, it is also for others to see, to let others know that the head of the Qingyang Sect will not treat those who contribute to the sect badly.
But if Xiao Yangfeng's disciples are allowed to be the future head successor, Qingtian will not be able to accept it no matter what, not only Xiao Yangfeng, but any other disciple of the same line will be the head successor, Qingtian will not allow it.
People are selfish, monks are also people, naturally selfishness, in Qingtian's opinion, no matter how bad Linyun is, it is also a disciple who has personally taught and raised, and Qingtian is naturally biased towards Linyun emotionally.
And if he changed Linyun and let someone else be his successor, wouldn't it be a slap in the face and announce to the world that he had no way to teach his disciples in Qingtian, and he was not as good as a scrapped Qingyuan.
There is another important reason, if the new head of the future is not his disciple, how can he guarantee his posthumous affairs?
All of this determines that Qingtian will not agree to Qinghe's suggestion, in Qingtian's mind, although Linyun is one step behind now, it may not be able to catch up in the future.
Because of Qinghe's proposal, Qingtian also had a great prejudice against Qinghe in his heart, and faintly guessed whether Qinghe had ulterior motives.
Because of the disagreement on the matter of the heir to the head of the family, Qinghe, who has been assisting Qingtian for thousands of years, has been suspicious.
"The sect has prepared a banquet, everyone has worked hard, everyone has picked up the wind and washed the dust for everyone! At the same time, we will remember those disciples who sacrificed for the sect!"
Qingtian opened his mouth and spoke loudly to all the people who returned, and a group of high-ranking people of the Qingyang Sect behind him also spoke.
"Yun'er!
Qingtian saw Linyun with a decadent face, and knew that this time the blow was too big for him, and he, the master, had to comfort and explain, so that he could come out of the shadow of failure as soon as possible.
Linyun has always looked like he is in a state of mind these days, and there is no reaction when he arrives here, and everyone looks at him with a sword piercing his heart.
At this moment, seeing his master shouting at himself, and feeling the familiar care in his master's eyes, Lin Yun couldn't help but have some tears in his eyes.
"Master, Yun'er has disgraced you!"
Lin Yun quickly walked in front of Qingtian and knelt down with a plop, his face distorted from pain and self-blame, and tears in his eyes were like rain.
"Okay, okay! Yun'er hurry up, Master doesn't mean to blame you, and Qingyang Sect doesn't blame you either, the only thing that Master hopes for is that you can cheer up again.
Failure and setbacks are not terrible, no one's life can be smooth sailing, as long as you can be more and more courageous, the past failures and setbacks will only make you more resilient!
Yun'er, Master has faith in you, and no matter what time it is, Master will support you in the back. ”
Qingtian pulled Linyun up, kept comforting and persuading him, and walked forward with Linyun.
The surrounding elders saw all this scene in their eyes, especially Qingtian's words, which also made these elders understand that Linyun's position was still stable, and they put away their thoughts one by one.
After Qinghe saw this scene, he couldn't help frowning slightly, Qingtian's words made him feel anxious in his heart, would Qingtian agree to his previous proposal?
Qinghe followed forward a little absent-mindedly, and he was also in a trance at the reception banquet, and dealt with it casually, Qingyuan still didn't come over at the dinner, Qinghe wanted to tell Qingyuan about the words entrusted by Linfeng back then, but Qingyuan was not there at the moment, in order to avoid Qingyuan's worries, Qinghe sent his disciples to Xiaoyangfeng to inform.
After the dinner, everyone dispersed, and Qinghe sat cross-legged on the bed, unable to settle down for a long time.
Suddenly, Qinghe opened his eyes, looked at him, got up and quickly walked out of the room, and flew away at great speed in the night.
"Knock knock!"
Qingshan was sitting upright on the bed and practicing when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Who's coming to me at such a late hour?"
Qingshan asked himself slightly in his heart, and then walked towards the door and spoke softly.
"Who?"
"Senior brother, it's me, Qinghe, I have something to discuss with my senior brother!" Qinghe's voice came from outside the door.
"It turned out to be junior brother, please come in!"
Qingshan didn't get up, and with a slight flick of his sleeves, the door opened automatically and smoothly without wind.
The door opened, and Qinghe, who was outside, walked in quickly, closed the door, turned to Qingshan and arched his hand: "I've seen senior brother!"
"Senior brother, you just came back today and came to visit overnight, I don't know what happened?"
Qingshan was also very surprised by Qinghe's arrival, although he and Qinghe are the same disciples, and their private relationship is also very good, but since they were promoted to elders, they rarely interact in private, everything is at work, and there are not many irrelevant exchanges.
The reason why this is the case is also a tacit understanding between the two people, one of them is a law enforcement elder, the other is an elder of the gong, the right-hand man of the head of Qingtian, and the most powerful person in the Qingyang Sect except for the head of Qingtian, if the two appear too close, they will inevitably be feared by Qingtian.
So in order to avoid suspicion and show loyalty to Qingtian, the two almost stopped interacting in private, and thus won Qingtian's trust and trust.
"Senior brother, today I suggested to the head of the family to establish Linfeng as the successor of the head of the family, and the head did not express his opinion at that time, but then he said those words to Lin Yun, and the senior brother also heard the words at that time, I think the head of the house is deliberately showing his attitude to me, and he actually said these words to me!
After I went back, I thought about it for a long time, and decided to come to my senior brother to discuss, Linyun's potential is not suitable for being the head of the future, Linfeng's potential is unlimited, enough to take on the important task of revitalizing and rising the Qingyang Sect, so I hope that my senior brother can join me in thinking about the head of the sect and recommending Linfeng as the successor!"
Qinghe stood in front of Qingshan, quickly explained his intention, hoping to get Qingshan's support, and bowed his hand after speaking.
After listening to Qinghe's words, Qingshan was a little surprised, and was stunned for a while before he sighed softly and spoke seriously.
"Senior brother, how can you let me say hello, you are not a person who has not experienced ups and downs, how can you be so reckless, no matter whether the head of the house will agree to this matter or not, just if you make this suggestion, the head will be suspicious of you.
You and I have assisted the head of the sect for many years, don't you still know the head of the house? The head of the sect is suspicious by nature, because of the special situation when the head of the sect took over the throne, most of the senior brothers in the sect did not support it, and they were all unconvinced, if it were not for the support of a few elders of the Supreme Court, the head of the sect would not be able to sit in this position at all.
After the head of the sect stabilized his position, he was always on guard against us elders, and if he was a little careless, it would attract suspicion, and it would also lead to the detachment of our other brothers and sisters, and the disunity within the sect, how could it be revitalized.
The sect is fighting with each other, if the qualification of Linyun's heir is abolished, the other peaks and veins will stare at the position of this heir, and when the time comes, they are only afraid that they will fight for the bloodstream, so it is impossible for the head of the sect to change Linyun for public and private, and it is impossible to think about Linfeng as the heir, the head of the sect will not agree, and the other elders will not agree, they will all strongly oppose it, and this matter will not succeed.
Senior brother, you better go and explain to the head of the house as soon as possible, and ask for the master's forgiveness! Don't mention this matter again in the future!"
After Qingshan finished speaking, he looked at Qinghe quietly, and no longer spoke, and the room suddenly fell silent.
