Chapter 15: Deliberations

The next day, in the Shen Yuan meeting hall, the left and right sides were filled with major elders and main disciples, including the eldest disciple Shen Feng, and the great elder Ye Gu sat on the front side.

And Shen Murong was sitting in the lobby, his wife Yin Qing was not present today, this was a discussion of the Shen Academy, it was inconvenient for the woman to participate, even the lady of the courtyard could only observe, so before notifying everyone, Shen Murong and Yin Qing had already discussed.

Shen Murong looked at everyone, his eyes met Ye Lao, and saw that his brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something, and when he looked down at the other elders, they all looked down at the shadow and talked in a whisper.

Then Shen Murong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: Elders, I have invited you to come here today to announce a major event, he paused, and then said: This matter is deeply related to my Shen Yuan, so I have to invite all the elders to come to discuss the matter.

Hearing Shen Murong say this, everyone present stopped talking to each other, and the audience was quiet for a while.

Shen Murong saw that everyone was looking at him, so he no longer hesitated and said: I, Shen Murong, have been the head of the Shen Academy for many years, but now Shen Murong knows that his ability is limited and he can't carry forward the Shen Yuan, and the current power of the Shen Yuan is not as good as before, he sighed and said: In order to make the Shen Yuan as strong as before, Shen Mou thinks that he is not talented, and he can no longer be up to this important responsibility, he paused, and then said: Shen Mou decided to quit the position of the head of the Shen Academy, let the virtuous as soon as possible, and let me be able to do it in the Shen Academy.

As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar, everyone turned their heads and ears, you said and I argued, and fell into a boil.

I don't know how long it has passed, a middle-aged elder got up, looked at Shen Murong, and couldn't see any expression on his face, he said slowly: Why did the courtyard master say this? Could it be that there is something unspeakable, why do you suddenly want to give way to the virtuous? This is very puzzled, and I ask the courtyard master to explain the truth.

As soon as this person said this, everyone nodded, especially the other elders in the courtyard also echoed: Please also ask the courtyard master to tell the truth.

Shen Murong's eyes deepened, he looked at the middle-aged elder just now, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart, this middle-aged elder's name is He Cang, this person has not been in my Shen Courtyard for a long time, and the merits he has made in the Shen Courtyard are also mediocre, and he never participates in ordinary matters, he belongs to the most ordinary and ordinary one among the characters in the courtyard, why is it abnormal today, people can't see through it, this remark must be intended to embarrass him.

Shen Murong sighed deeply, and said earnestly: "Don't hide it from you, I, Shen, have no intention of asking about this worldly dispute, if I let Shen continue to take on this position, I am afraid that I will miss the great cause of my Shen Yuan, why not pass on the position as soon as possible to strengthen my Shen Yuan."

Without waiting for you to say anything more, Shen Murong continued: Quitting the position of the courtyard master and letting the sage Yu deserve it, this matter has already been decided in my Shen heart, he looked at He Cang and said: Elder He, this is the truth of Shen, I don't know if you have any other opinions.

Shen Murong is the master of the courtyard, this kind of domineering is not something that others can have, since this He Cang is clearly going to deliberately embarrass him, then he Shen Murong will also go straight away, look at you, a mediocre elder, how else can you question me, the master of the courtyard.

Seeing that Shen Murong was asking directly, He Cang couldn't answer for a while, so he said casually: Oh, my subordinates don't dare, let alone question the courtyard master, it's just that who will pass on the position of the courtyard master?

When everyone heard this, there was an uproar again, and this sensitive topic once again ignited the atmosphere of the scene, because this is also the thing that everyone is most concerned about, the future owner of the courtyard symbolizes the future rights of this Shen Academy.

Seeing this, Ye Lao on the side just shook his head scoundrelly, his brows furrowed, and his face was sad, obviously he was worried about this matter, seeing that the situation had become like this, he was powerless to do it, and what he was worried about in his heart would still follow, and it would be inevitable in the end.

Shen Murong saw that since He Cang had explained the matter, and felt that this matter would eventually be faced by everyone, he collected his thoughts and said loudly: This matter is very important, it is deeply related to the future of my Shen Academy, and the person who takes over as the head of my Shen Academy must convince people with virtue and cultivate to be outstanding in order to be able to convince the public, he paused and said: Among the young disciples in my opinion, only the eldest disciple Shen Feng can be qualified for this position, and there is no more suitable person than him, so Shen decided to take over the position of the master of my Shen Academy, and the eldest disciple Shen Feng will succeed him.

As soon as Shen Feng's two words came out, Shen Feng's body on the side was shocked, and he was shocked, and said in his heart: Master, why did Master pass on the position of the master of the courtyard to me, how can I, Shen Feng, be able to take on this great responsibility, this thing must not be, my Shen Yuan must have someone like Master in order to carry forward my Shen Yuan, and he is just when he wants to say something.

Another elder on the side got up and said: "Courtyard Master, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter, Shen Feng is the eldest disciple of this Academy, and it is too abrupt to let him succeed to the position of the Courtyard Master, after all, he is still young, how can he lead the group, he paused, and continued: I think it is better to choose another talent.

Shen Murong glanced at the person, this person is also the same as He Cang, at this moment, the words are blocked, and he also came on purpose, so he said sharply: Let me ask you, among the younger generation of disciples, who can convince the public, you help the old man choose his person, let me Shen Mu see who has the ability, if there is no such talent, don't just say these vassals and grandiose words, these words with domineering and slight anger make the scene for a while, and no one dares to say anything more.

The man was shocked by Shen Murong for a while, and he didn't want to answer again, so he said timidly: This... , the old man didn't dare, saying that he also joined the silent group and stopped making a sound.

The scene was silent, seeing that everyone did not speak, the atmosphere at the scene was very embarrassing, and Shen Feng, who originally wanted to speak, also dispelled the thoughts in his heart.

And for everyone, especially these elders in the courtyard, among the young generation of the Shen Academy over the years, there is really no one who can compare with this Shen Feng, the young disciples in the Shen Yuan have not been in the climate over the years, so there are very few people who can stand out in the group, and the succession of the master of this courtyard, the Shen Yuan has always had a rule, the major elders in the courtyard are not qualified to be elected as the head of the academy, it must be the master of the academy in the younger generation, hand-picked his own disciples, or succeeded by the descendants of the academy master, this is also the rule of the Shen Academy, but this Shen Feng is very different, the cultivation talent is several times stronger than other disciples, and the ability to deal with things is also the one who stands out among the younger generation, Therefore, for everyone, if you want to choose this successor, then Shen Feng is well-deserved, but the old man wants to open his eyes and talk nonsense, why not let Shen Murong get angry immediately.

Seeing that everyone was no longer speech, Shen Murong said solemnly: Since everyone present can't choose this virtuous person, then the person who succeeds the master of the Shen Academy, as far as my Shen is concerned, will be succeeded by my Shen Yuan's eldest disciple Shen Feng, and the matter will come to an end.

After this announcement, everyone was talking to each other for a while, and it was not difficult to see that some of them were dissatisfied with each other, and some of them just nodded slightly.

Seeing that no one in the crowd stood up to object, Shen Murong was lightened, took a deep breath, and then calmly said: There is one more thing, Shen also wants to inform you, that is, Shen has decided to retire from Xiuzhen, withdraw from the world Xiuzhen faction, and no longer ask about the disputes in the world, I hope you can understand me Shen.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and everyone was shocked, but Ye Lao on the side didn't say anything, as if he already knew.

In amazement, several elders knelt down in unison and said: The master of the courtyard must not, this retreat must not be, one of the old words: My Shen Yuan is already weak, even if the new courtyard master succeeds to the throne, you must also be assisted by the courtyard master, and you can stabilize the situation with you sitting in my Shen Yuan, and I hope that the courtyard master will think twice.

These elders are all old ministers who have followed the Lord of the Cloud Courtyard, although they are not great talents, but their loyalty is the same as that of Ye Lao, and they will always be the subjects of the Shen Courtyard, and they are the dependents of the Shen Courtyard.

When looking at the rest of the elders, most of them pretended to be indifferent, and didn't care about it, just as they didn't care about the survival of Shen Yuan.

After Shen Feng heard the news, he immediately collapsed to the ground, and he still couldn't believe his ears where he was sitting, why the good master would give way and retreat, and he had all kinds of questions in his heart.

Seeing that Shen Murong, the courtyard master, had not answered for a long time, the elders looked at Ye Lao on the side at the same time and said, "Great Elder, it's time to say something, this matter must not be allowed."

Seeing the situation, Ye Lao just shook weakly, and didn't say anything, as if he couldn't see a glimmer of hope in Shen Yuan's eyes.

Seeing this situation, Shen Murong was ruthless in his heart, and said firmly: A few elders don't want to say more, I, Shen Murong, have already decided, and I hope that the elders will forgive me, this matter will be decided like this, and then he said solemnly: Ye Lao, tomorrow I will send invitations to all famous sects, and the day after tomorrow, I will hold my Shen's retreat in my Shen Courtyard, so that I Shen will give an explanation to the world, and this matter will be taken care of by Ye Lao.

Ye Lao on the side walked out slowly, and said respectfully: The old man received the order.

After seeing Ye Lao receiving the order, Shen Murong said sharply: That's the end of today's deliberations, everyone should disperse.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, the elders had no choice but to get up, their faces were full of worry, and they whispered to each other and went with everyone, while Shen Feng on the side saw that the master seemed to be still on the top of his head, and felt that it was inconvenient to disturb at this time, so he chose another time, so he also went with everyone.

Seeing that everyone was slowly leaving outside the lobby, Shen Murong said softly: Old Ye, you stay.

When everyone had already dispersed, Shen Murong cautiously looked outside the lobby, and seeing that there was no one anymore, Shen Murong said: Ye Lao, do you have anything to say.

Ye Lao paused, looked at Shen Murong and said: Since the courtyard master has already made up his mind in his heart, why should he ask Lao Yu again, what can Lao Yu say, it's just... It's just that what the old man doesn't understand is why the owner of the courtyard wants to retire, and the old man is very incomprehensible, and he asks the owner of the hospital to make it clear.

Shen Murong hesitated in his heart, and said slowly: For this dragon seal.

As soon as the three words of the Panlong Seal came out, Ye Lao's body trembled violently, his face was solemn, he looked outside the hall, and then looked at Shen Murong and said: What the courtyard master said is... , He paused, and then said: Could it be that this dragon seal is true, there really is such a thing.

Shen Murong sighed and lowered his voice: "Yes, this evil thing is in my Shen Courtyard, and when the time is ripe, this evil thing will disappear forever with my retreat."

Ye Lao frowned and said: I am afraid that there is something wrong with this matter, it goes against the will of the first emperor and the master of the Cloud Courtyard, this thing is the divine object of my Shen Courtyard, isn't it... , he said this, he didn't say anything more, but he was worried about something in his heart.

Seeing that Ye Lao was very worried in his heart, in order to get Ye Lao's support, Shen Murong no longer concealed everything that happened in Cuimi Peak last night.

Shen Murong told Ye Lao about last night's events, and Ye Lao's whole body boiled when he heard it, and his heart was greatly shocked, especially when he talked about the divine consciousness that the Lord of the Cloud Courtyard finally turned into, his face was solemn and sacred, which was a manifestation of the loyalty to the Shen Courtyard, and finally he learned that when this dragon seal had the erosion of the backlash, he finally understood why Shen Murong would call it an evil thing, and even understood that keeping this evil thing away from the world was the true destiny of the Lord of the Cloud Courtyard.

After understanding the ins and outs of this, Ye Lao let out a long breath, and only now did he know that Shen Murong would do this, he had a withered face, and knelt down towards Shen Murong and said: Old and stupid, I don't know that the courtyard master is a hard worker, and then he said solemnly: Please rest assured, I, Ye Mou, have worked hard, and I want to help the courtyard master to complete the Yun courtyard master's will.

When Shen Murong saw the situation, his heart was relieved, he stepped forward and lifted the old man and said: Ye Lao, please get up quickly, with Ye Lao's words, I Shen will be relieved, and in the future, Shen Yuan will have Lao Ye Lao Fei, he paused and said: But this matter is very important, don't leak the news.

Ye Lao also knew that this matter was serious, so he said: Courtyard master, rest assured, the old man should have never heard of this matter, and said that he said to Shen Murong Gonggong: Old man will go and do the things explained by the courtyard master and leave.

Shen Murong replied: Ye Lao walks slowly, I will not send it far.

Seeing that Ye Xing had already disappeared from the lobby, he let out a long breath.
