Therefore, although Gu Qingxun was the acting suzerain of Penglai in name, she was actually the best candidate for the position. As for the Sacred Disciples who still wanted the position of suzerain, they were merely comforting themselves. If they wanted to be the suzerain, they would have to kill Gu Qingxun first. However, Gu Qingxun was now the suzerain of Penglai. How could she be killed so easily?
The current situation was completely different from before. Gu Qingxun was already the suzerain, so she didn't need to personally deal with dangerous matters. She only needed to oversee Mount Penglai, and she had the support of many Supreme Elders. Even if the experts of the Sea People Tribe came in person, it would be difficult for them to find a chance to kill Gu Qingxun.
"Suzerain Gu Qingxun, come with me. Let's go meet the Supreme Elders of Penglai and get to know the foundation of Mount Penglai," Grandmaster Peng Wei said to Gu Qingxun. Grandmaster Peng Wei said to Gu Qingxun as he led her to the place where the Supreme Elders of Mount Penglai cultivated.
After Gu Qingxun left, Qin Lang immediately became the center of attention. Everyone knew that Qin Lang had entered Mount Penglai with Gu Qingxun, and he could be considered Gu Qingxun's true confidant. Since Gu Qingxun had become the suzerain, Qin Lang's reputation in Penglai had also improved. Even though Qin Lang had deliberately kept a low profile and given all the glory to Gu Qingxun.
However, Qin Lang certainly wouldn't get complacent because of this. In the face of the Penglai disciples' compliments and praises, Qin Lang could only deal with them dully. It seemed that he wasn't good at socializing with these people. Even so, he had to go through a lot of trouble to get rid of these bootlicking people. Of course, Qin Lang didn't really dislike these bootlicking fellows of Qin Lang and Gu Qingxun. Both mortals and cultivators had their own way of survival. Not everyone was talented in cultivation, and not everyone was smart. However, these people had to rely on the strong or powerful to survive.
Gu Qingxun was now the suzerain of Penglai, but she still needed more followers. After all, she had just become the suzerain, and her foundation wasn't stable yet. Of course, she needed enough support. On the other hand, Qin Lang knew that Grandmaster Peng Wei promoted Gu Qingxun to acting suzerain because he had other considerations. Grandmaster Peng Wei might have found out that Daoist Qing Song had colluded with outsiders, which made the Supreme Elders very unhappy. Although Daoist Qing Song might have colluded with outsiders for his own selfishness and had never thought of shaking the fundamental interests of Mount Penglai, what Daoist Qing Song had done might have touched their bottom line. Therefore, Grandmaster Penglai had kicked Daoist Qing Song out of the position of suzerain and appointed Gu Qingxun as the suzerain in the face of danger.
Daoist Peng Peng might had a better choice. After all, Pen. Qi, Qingxun was the suzerain of Daoist Mountain, a, and Daoist, but Qingxun was., Sect. Gu. Gu Qingxun was in the limelight now. Appointing her as suzerain at this time meant that everything was ready.
Qin Lang could see the thoughts of Grandmaster Peng Wei and the other Supreme Elders very clearly. Besides, Qin Lang also knew that Gu Qingxun was definitely uncertain now. Although she really wanted to become suzerain and avenge the Mystic Sacred Palace, she felt a little uneasy after Gu Qingxun became suzerain because she wasn't a heartless person. Although the Immortal Path was heartless, a cultivator still needed a process to truly become a heartless person. In addition, some cultivators couldn't be heartless. For example, Qin Lang was such a person.
Gu Qingxun left the place where the Supreme Elders cultivated and immediately went to find Qin Lang to discuss something with him.
Currently, Gu Qingxun had already moved into the Penglai Sect Master's cave abode. It was located on top of the two earth roots of Mount Penglai, and the cultivation environment could be said to be unique. Perhaps only the Penglai Sect Master and the Supreme Elders could enjoy such generous treatment. Other cultivators definitely did not have such qualifications.
"Ah Lang, you're finally here. I really don't have any confidence now," Gu Qingxun said to Qin Lang. Her tone sounded like she was asking for help from Qin Lang.
"Sect Master, you're the suzerain of Penglai Island now. How can you still be so indecisive? If other people heard this, they might think that I'm trying to coerce you into becoming a puppet. Actually, with your experience in the Mystic Sacred Palace, I believe that it won't take long for you to get used to this position. Right now, you're just feeling a little smug. "
"Smug? That's easy for you to say." Gu Qingxun sighed. "Actually, I also thought that I would be quite happy after becoming the suzerain. However, I seem to be under a lot of pressure now. After all, there are so many cultivators and disciples on Penglai Island. If I make a mistake in judgment, many people might die, especially at this critical moment. Those damned sea people are preparing to take revenge on us. "
"A general's success is built on the bones of tens of thousands of people. The Immortal Path is merciless. People will definitely die in battles. There's no doubt about this. Even if it happens, it's not your fault. As the suzerain, you only need to consider how to make Penglai Island stronger. Then, your decision will be correct. No one can blame you! As for who dies, it's only their fate, "Qin Lang comforted Gu Qingxun.
"Maybe you're right. But what should we do now? I really couldn't make up my mind. The sea people — "
"You have too many things to worry and worry about!" Qin Lang interrupted Gu Qingxun. "Think about it. Isn't it a good thing to have such an outcome this time? If we were killed by Daoist Qing Song or handed over to the sea people when we came back, would you still have the time and opportunity to worry? So, at this time, you should be glad that we made a good move, and the game is now better than we expected. At least, you have a say in Penglai Island now. You can do many things you want to do! "
"Yes, I didn't think it through." Gu Qingxun agreed with Qin Lang's point of view. It wasn't good to worry about personal gains and losses. Gu Qingxun was still young, but since he was already the suzerain of Penglai Island, he had to consider the overall situation and the entire Penglai Island. If he couldn't do this, he wouldn't be the suzerain for long.
