"Of course we have to arrange a position that matches my golden core perfection strength. Sect Leader Hong, what kind of position do you think we should arrange for me?" Xue Jianfeng turned his head to look at Hong Qingyuan.
All of a sudden, everyone's focus shifted to Sect Master Hong Qingyuan, who had been silent all this while. At this time, he was still habitually tapping his finger on the table. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "This is not a small problem. We need to discuss it properly."
"......" Everyone looked at each other speechlessly. He spoke as if he was serious, but it was the same as not saying anything.
This couldn't be blamed on Hong Qingyuan. From his point of view, there was no other way. After all, no matter what, a new generation expert like Xue Jianfeng had to shoulder a heavy responsibility. If he couldn't make the best use of the golden core perfection experts that other sects yearned for, then it would be a dereliction of his duty as the Sect Leader.
But out of consideration for controlling the overall situation, Hong Qingyuan couldn't possibly let Xue Jianfeng, this rising star, overtake the host. Otherwise, with Xue Jianfeng and his father Xue Liping's character, things would definitely get out of hand in the future, and that would be a huge problem.
"Sect Leader Hong means that this is today's important topic?" Chi Qianqiu and the others looked at each other.
"That's right. Everyone sit down first. There's no need to rush over the position. Let's all express our opinions and discuss it to a conclusion. I think there's no need to fight over it anymore. What does everyone think?" Hong Qingyuan suggested.
"Okay." Chi Qianqiu didn't argue and led the elders to their seats.
"Then … Who will speak first?" Hong Qingyuan's eyes swept across the crowd. Only he, the Sect Leader, had the final say in this kind of matter. However, the more it was so, the more he couldn't reveal his opinion. Only by remaining calm and letting everyone express their opinions would he be able to grasp the most initiative.
Chi Qianqiu and the others looked at each other and remained silent. Because they didn't inform each other beforehand, they didn't dare to speak before they understood the pros and cons.
"Then I'll say a few words first?" Xue Liping smiled, then said: "As the saying goes, don't avoid relatives. Although Feng 'er is my son, he's already a golden core perfection expert. I think we should arrange a corresponding important position for him. Otherwise, if word gets out, it will be hard to convince the masses. We might even be laughed at by outsiders. That's not appropriate. "
"Vice Sect Master Xue, why don't you clarify what kind of important position you think we should give him?" Chi Qianqiu narrowed his eyes as he asked.
"As an expert second only to the Grand Elder, I feel that he should at least be the second in command. I didn't say that he would be the Sect Leader. After all, he's still young and inexperienced. He won't be able to control the overall situation for the time being, "Xue Liping pointed out.
These words caused Hong Qingyuan's eyelids to twitch. His expression remained unchanged, but he couldn't help but want to curse in his heart. If he can't control the situation now, does that mean he wants to control the situation in the future? It turned out that this pair of father and son didn't want to be the second-in-command at all, but were plotting for his position as the Sect Leader!
When Chi Qianqiu and the others heard this, although they frowned, they were secretly laughing in their hearts. This pair of father and son were really too arrogant. Weren't they clearly pushing Hong Qingyuan to their side?
"Second position? Taking it literally, the position below the Sect Leader is naturally the Vice Sect Leader. Does Vice Sect Leader Xue intend to abdicate and give it to his son? "The Third Elder grinned.
"Then I have no objections. Although there's no such thing as a son inheriting the father's position in our Snow Sword School, your family's situation is special. With such a good son, I feel that it's barely feasible to have him replace you as the Vice Sect Leader." The Fifth Elder expressed his opinion.
"Seconded." The Fourth Elder nodded.
"I agree as well." The Second Elder nodded as well.
"Since everyone has the same opinion, then I have no objections." Chi Qianqiu nodded as well. With the current situation, it was already unrealistic to not let Xue Jianfeng take the position. Since that was the case, he might as well let him replace his father Xue Liping. In any case, he was already used to fighting with the Vice Sect Leader. It didn't matter even if the father was replaced by the son.
"Haha, everyone seems to have misunderstood. As the Vice Sect Leader, I've always been conscientious and conscientious. Even if I don't have any merits, I've still put in hard work. Besides, I've never said that I want to abdicate, right?"
Xue Liping sneered. "Also, let me add something. My father, as the Vice Sect Leader, doesn't seem to be the number two figure. Grand Elder Chi, haven't you always boasted that you're superior to my father?"
"From what you're saying, you're eyeing my Grand Elder position?" Chi Qianqiu couldn't help but laugh.
"Xue Jianfeng, Xue Jianfeng, although you're young, you've still grown up in the sect. Don't you know how the Grand Elder position came about? It's not self-bestowed. The Grand Elder is the same as the Sect Leader. It's a public election by the Elders Council. At the same time, it has to be personally acknowledged by the Grand Elder. Do you think you can become the Grand Elder just because you want to? "The Second Elder snorted disdainfully.
"That's right. Other than strength, the Grand Elder's most important is his contributions to the sect and his deep qualifications. Which of these two do you think you're qualified for?" The other Elders echoed. "..." Xue Jianfeng was stunned.
"…" Xue Jianfeng was stunned when he heard that. Although those words were unpleasant to the ears, he really had no way of refuting them. Aside from his strength as a Gold Core Great Perfection cultivator, he had nothing else. There was no need to talk about his qualifications, and if one were to talk about his contributions to the sect, Chi Qianqiu was a brother who had risked his life for the previous sect master, who was also the current Great Elder. Back then, he had even contributed so much to the sect that no one in the entire Snow Sword Sect could compare to him.
"Everyone, you've misunderstood. I've never thought of becoming the Grand Elder," Xue Jianfeng could only say.
"Then what exactly do you want to do?" Everyone looked at each other.
"Vice Sect Leader, but add two words in front of it: Managing," Xue Jianfeng said directly.
"Managing Vice Sect Leader?!" Everyone was stunned. Then, their expressions changed. Chi Qianqiu, the Grand Elder, could rely on his qualifications to slightly suppress the Vice Sect Leader. They were basically on equal footing. However, the Managing Vice Sect Leader, as the name suggested, was clearly above the Vice Sect Leader. Naturally, it would be above the Grand Elder as well. That was the true number two figure in the Elders Council!
"In other words, you're going to have an Managing Vice Sect Leader out of nowhere?" Chi Qianqiu looked at the calm Hong Qingyuan and said, "Sect Leader Hong, do you think there's a need for that?"
"That's right. Is there a need for that?" Hong Qingyuan did not answer him directly. Instead, he went with the flow and looked at Xue Jianfeng. (To be continued.)
