"What kind of choice?" asked Jun Ci with a fixed expression.

Seeing Junci's vigilant appearance, Ye Donglai replied in a slightly appreciative tone: "You are a smart person, and you don't say dark things in the eyes of bright people. The elder is already old, and if his cultivation can't be taken to the next level, I'm afraid that his longevity will be exhausted. Therefore, in the next few years, Cang Lingxue and I are the most likely candidates to take charge of the sect. ”

"For a long time, the support rating between me and the eldest lady has been between Zhong Bo. Especially among the top ten golden pills with great power, she and I each accounted for five votes, which was basically evenly matched. But today there is such a variable as you. So I have to know now, in the general election in the near future, are you on my side or Cang Lingxue's side?" Ye Donglai didn't give Junci too much time to think, and directly said to the general.

Jun Ci looked at the waterfall outside the gazebo, frowned, and did not answer.

As if seeing that his titular nephew had concerns, Ye Donglai added with a smile: "I heard that you and Leng Yan had some conflicts before, but as long as you stand on my side, we will be people in the same boat, and those old grudges can be written off." ”

"From the day I started, the Sword Spirit Night East has been my idol. I am very touched that you were able to speak openly and honestly with me today. On the day of the election, I will definitely follow my heart and cast the most crucial vote for my uncle. After a moment of silence, Junci gave his own answer.

"I believe that my nephew will make the wisest choice when the time comes. Ye Donglai heard Junci's answer and nodded with satisfaction.

After the secret conversation was successfully concluded, Ye Donglai personally sent Junci out of the pavilion, and as he passed through the main hall, a golden lotus caught his attention.

The rhizomes and branches of this golden lotus are all made of rare Gengjin, which is lifelike, and the lotus platform of Buddhism is the same, revealing a sense of Zen. There was a faint fragrance among the eighteen golden lotus seeds, which made people's spirits lift when they smelled it, and their minds instantly became extremely clear.

Ye Donglai saw Jun Ci's strange appearance, and said with a bold and generous smile: "If my nephew is interested, just take it away, and put it in my place It's just an ornament." ”

Hearing this, Junci hurriedly shook his head: "A gentleman doesn't take away people's favors, I don't dare to accept such a valuable gift, Uncle Shi, please stay." ”

"Then I won't send it, my nephew will go slowly!" Ye Dong was not reluctant, and watched Junci leave with a smile.

"I didn't expect this kid to be quite familiar and know what it means to be good. When Junci walked away, a white scaly snake suddenly emerged from the lotus pond and snaked to the feet of Ye Donglai.

"Really?" Ye Donglai asked noncommittally, his previous smile turning to frost.

"Is there any deception in it?" the scaly serpent coiled up, spitting out its tongue and hissing in a head-numbing sound.

"If it's you, can you hold back your greed and reject my Buddha Sect Supreme Treasure Eight-Leaf Lotus Terrace? How can such a person who has no desire and is just strong easily compromise and surrender because of my few words?" Ye Donglai analyzed in a cold voice.

"That's exactly what I want. This kid destroyed my Snake Palace, made me a laughing stock of my peers, and I was worried that I would not have a chance to take revenge. The scaly snake suddenly transformed into a cold appearance and exhaled a turbid breath.

This turbid breath slowly drifted forward, and when it encountered a backing rock, it instantly corroded into a puddle of black water.

"Ever since my junior brother has cultivated into a spiritual snake, he has cultivated to a higher level. Even I can only fight at a distance from you. If someone doesn't know whether to fight with you at close range, once they hit your Qingtian Miasma, I'm afraid that Da Luo Jinxian won't be able to save them. Ye Donglai clapped his hands and let out a heartfelt admiration, but there was a deep warning in his eyes.

"This natal erysipelas I have cultivated is colorless and tasteless, and its toxicity is unrivaled in the world, as long as a drop is in water, it can poison dozens of savage giant beasts. That kid will soon taste the taste of festering and dying. Leng Yan heard Ye Donglai's praise and looked complacent.

"Now is not the time, he has just been awarded the eleventh golden pill by the Great Elder, if you start at this time, I am afraid that it will attract the thunder and wrath of the upper echelons, and when the time comes, it will be easy to find out about you. Ye Donglai shook his head and warned Leng Yan not to act rashly.

"Do you just let this kid dangle freely in front of us?" Leng Yan raised his eyebrows, and a chilling anger emanated from his body.

"There will always be opportunities, he formed a golden pill this time, and the great elder gave him a name and a fief, but he felt that he had some value to use. When the time comes, in order to serve the public, he will definitely be sent to perform some mentoring tasks. At that time, if you follow him to an ambush, you will surely be able to kill him in one blow. Ye Donglai has already thought of a poisonous plan to put it mildly.

"Then let that kid live a few more days. Hearing this, Leng Yan nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly changed his words and said, "But senior brother, I don't know what to say, I don't know if to talk about it?"

"You and I are like brothers, why can't you say it?" Ye Donglai turned his head in surprise and paused slightly, but then patted his cold shoulder affectionately, and his tone was very sincere.

Leng Yan smiled a little flattered: "Senior brother, since you have already obtained the support of the Hajj Academy, why do you have to work hard to recruit that kid from Junci?"

"Gaining the position of head through the strength of others and gaining the position of head through one's own efforts are two different things. If I replace the Great Elder with the support of Cheng Tianqi, if my name is not right, the Lingxiao Sword Sect can only become a vassal of others in the end, and even I can only be a puppet. But if I can win the election openly, then I will naturally have no one to match, and I will have to weigh it carefully if the Hajj Academy wants me to be obedient and obedient. The difference between them is worlds apart. Ye Donglai sighed and said his thoughts with a wry smile.

"I see. Leng Yan nodded thoughtfully, and said with some hesitation: "Then killing Junci, will it affect the senior brother's plan?"

Ye Donglai pondered for a while, and his eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness and determination in the dark night: "Since it can't be used by me, it can't be used by my enemies." ”

Jun Ci, who returned to the cave mansion, did not know that he had been blacklisted for someone else's killing, and he was lying on his back on the stone bed tossing and turning, looking a little uneasy.

"What's wrong?Do you regret agreeing that Yedong is coming?" Seeing Jun Ci's troubled appearance in the sea of knowledge, he didn't feel a little funny.

Junci shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "The eldest lady and I have the grace to save my life, how can I do that treacherous thing." ”

"Then why did you promise him just now?" was slightly stunned, feeling that he was being placed by Junci again.

"It's just a hypocrisy, anyway, there is still a long time before the day of the election. Maybe I'll have left this place by then. Thinking of this, Junci couldn't help but laugh first.

"In that case, Yedong came to give you the eight-leaf golden lotus just now, why don't you accept it? That thing is a good thing at first glance. He looked very distressed.

"Isn't that a matter of giving people a handle? I'm afraid that if I take the eight-leaf lotus platform today, tomorrow the whole sect will know that I have received the benefits of Yedonglai. What will the eldest lady think when the time comes?" Jun Ci sighed helplessly, obviously having some nostalgia for that golden lotus.

was extremely silent for a long time, and suddenly said without swearing: "Do you like Cang Lingxue's girl?"

Junci was silent for a while, not wanting to hide anything from Ji, and nodded lightly: "Actually, since I first met her in Canglan City, it has already touched my heartstrings. But in the past year or so, I have seen her twice. She is like the green lotus that grows on the cliff and hides in the vast wind and snow, leaving behind and independent, which makes people unable to find it. ”

The two of them chatted for a long time, until the sky was already showing a trace of fish belly white, and Junci hurriedly slept for a while.

When Jun Ci came to the Fumo Academy on time as usual to prepare for the morning class, he found that all the junior disciples had gathered Mo Li in the center of the dojo, looking back at him, his eyes were slightly red.
