"Then who will go and who will stay?" Everyone looked at each other. From the bottom of their hearts, they all wanted to go, but what Lu Bianren said made sense. If all of them went, it would only do more harm than good. After all, they were going to look for someone, not to fight a war. Numbers were useless.
"I definitely have to go." Lu Bianren said first. He was the only one among them who had been to the South Continent Sea Area, and only he knew Qi Wenhan, so there was no doubt about it.
"I definitely have to go. I came up with this idea, and I will fight anyone who tries to stop me!" Qiao Hongcai quickly raised her hand and said.
"Then I have to go. Junior Brother Lin has taken care of me the most. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today. If I don't go, am I still a human?" Senior Brother Bitter said immediately.
"Boss Lin Yi and I came up from the secular world together. We have known each other for the longest time, and our friendship is the deepest. If I don't go, it will be even more unreasonable!" Xiao Ran also said.
As soon as Xiao Ran's voice faded, everyone's eyes focused on Li Zhengming. He was the only one left, and he had to be the one to stay behind. Unexpectedly, this guy said slowly, "Boss Lin gave me my life, don't expect me to stay."
None of the five people was willing to stay, and each of them had a good reason. Everyone looked at each other. What should they do? They couldn't draw lots, could they? Not to mention that this method was not feasible, the point was that no one would agree. What if they were chosen to stay?
After a moment of silence, Lu Bianren finally made the decision. After all, he was the most senior and the most powerful one among them. Besides, he was highly trusted and could be regarded as a man of virtue and prestige. His words carried enormous weight. "Well, Junior Brother Ku and Junior Brother Xiao, you two stay here to guard. I, Hongcai, and Zhengming will go to the south island."
"Why?!" Senior Brother Bitter and Xiao Ran frowned at the same time. Qiao Hongcai and Li Zhengming were happy, but why should they stay …
"The reason is simple. One of you is the Third Pavilion Master of the Welcoming Pavilion, and the other is the Second Senior Brother of the Blue Cloud Pavilion's Outer Court Manager. Both of you hold important positions, "Lu Bianren explained to the two with a bitter smile.
What was especially worth mentioning was that Xiao Ran had suddenly jumped from the position of the Blue Cloud Pavilion's Senior Disciple Supervisor to the position of the Second Senior Disciple Supervisor of the Blue Cloud Pavilion's Outer Court Supervisor a month ago. This was a huge promotion. The difference in status and authority between the two was huge. Although the Second Senior Disciple Supervisor of the Blue Cloud Pavilion's Outer Court Supervisor's authority was not particularly great, this kind of opportunity was absolutely enviable to others.
One must know that even those second-generation cultivators would have to pay a hefty price to operate this position. In particular, Xiao Ran had only joined the Blue Cloud Pavilion for three years. Even if he had been the Senior Disciple Supervisor for a year, it was still difficult to put his qualifications on the table.
In fact, when this appointment was first proposed, it caused a huge controversy. Eighty percent of the Blue Cloud Pavilion Elders slammed the table because this was a gold-plated position specially prepared for them. How could they inexplicably give it to an outsider, and an outsider with no foundation at all!
The person who previously occupied this position was Lu Bianren. However, after Lu Bianren disappeared for a long time, this position was automatically vacated. Even after Lu Bianren returned, this position was automatically vacated. Even after Lu Bianren returned, he did not continue to hold it. The official reason was because he was already a Golden Core disciple and automatically entered the Blue Cloud Pavilion's Inner Court. However, in fact, several Blue Cloud Pavilion Elders were already secretly competing for this position, and some of them even fought until their heads were bleeding.
In this kind of situation, Xiao Ran suddenly appeared. Wasn't this a slap to their faces? Was this a joke?!
However, in the end, this strange appointment was passed without any suspense. This was because the person who proposed this was the Senior Disciple Supervisor of the Blue Cloud Pavilion's Inner Court, Jia Mufan. More importantly, the Pavilion Master of the Blue Cloud Pavilion, Yu Zhenyang, approved it in public. Even if the Blue Cloud Pavilion Elders were unwilling, they still did not dare to oppose Yu Zhenyang for such a small matter. Even if they were unwilling, they did not dare to oppose Yu Zhenyang for such a small matter.
No matter what, Yu Zhenyang was still the Clear Cloud Pavilion's Pavilion Lord. Don't be fooled by the fact that in front of characters like Shangguan Tianhua, Yu Zhenyang had always put on a harmless and kind face, but if it was one of the Clear Cloud Pavilion's Elders, this fellow would never show mercy. After all, this was a powerful existence who had walked out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
No one knew what Yu Zhenyang was thinking, and no one knew what Jia Mufan was thinking either. Anyway, the result was that Xiao Ran suddenly became the Second Senior Disciple Supervisor of the Outer Court of the Blue Cloud Pavilion. From then on, he officially entered the eyes of the senior management of the Blue Cloud Pavilion and took a solid step toward a position of real power.
"So what? Senior Brother Lu, you were the Second Senior Disciple Supervisor of the Outer Court before, but didn't you still go to the south island?" Senior Brother Ku and Xiao Ran asked almost at the same time.
"That's why I lost this position …" Lu Bianren shook his head with a wry smile and said solemnly, "Junior Brother Ku, Junior Brother Xiao, we're only going to the south island to look for someone this time, so we don't need a lot of people. More importantly, we don't know how long we'll be gone. It's not surprising that we'll be gone for a year and a half. With your current positions, it'll be a big problem if you disappear for more than a month."
"It doesn't matter. At worst, I don't have this position," Xiao Ran said disapprovingly.
"That's right. My position as the Third Pavilion Master of the Welcome Pavilion was fought for by Junior Brother Lin. If I sit back and do nothing when something happens to him, I won't be able to keep this position. It's better not to take it." Senior Brother Ku nodded and said.
"Stupid!" Lu Bianren suddenly pointed at their noses and scolded, "Since you know it's Junior Brother Lin's hard work, why did you throw it away so casually? Do you think this is loyalty? Wrong, you're so wrong. This is utter stupidity. You've let down Junior Brother Lin's painstaking efforts. How can you still have the face to look for him? "
Being scolded by Lu Bianren suddenly, Senior Brother Ku and Xiao Ran immediately fell silent. After all, when they thought about it carefully, it really made sense.
"There's a reason why I asked you two to stay. Because of your positions, you two can't leave for too long. The key is that you two are more or less important people. Even if others want to hurt you, they have to think twice first. So you two are more suitable to stay and guard than Hongcai and Zhengming. Do you understand?" Lu Bianren continued to persuade them earnestly.
"Okay, then we'll stay." Senior Brother Ku and Xiao Ran looked at each other and nodded. Just as Lu Bianren said, they were the most suitable to stay in the north island no matter from which point of view.
"Okay, in that case, let's go now. Let's see if there are any suitable trial tasks." Lu Bianren immediately made the decision.
