'If someone objects, then there will be rules. If no one objects, then there will be no rules?'
Mei Niang pondered over these two sentences in her mind. Such a simple truth made her suddenly see the light and benefited a lot. She couldn't help but take another look at Guang Ling Gong. She deeply realized how big the gap between her and this person was.
However, her thoughts quickly turned back to Miao Yi.
His Highness had talked to her before. He wanted her daughter to be Niu Youde's concubine and said that he would find an opportunity to make her the legal wife. She didn't agree at the time and even agreed reluctantly. In the end, His Highness went back on his words and told her not to feel wronged. He promised not to let Mei 'er marry Niu Youde again.
Thinking about it now, her intestines turned green with regret. If she had agreed to his highness in the past and didn't make it difficult for him, with his highness' support and her experience in winning men over, her daughter would have become the legal wife. Now, she would be the second princess in the world! How glorious would it be for both mother and daughter? Who in the Guang family would dare to look down on her?
She really didn't expect it. In the early years, she often heard that Niu Youde had a promising future. However, this future came a little too quickly and fiercely. He went from a Governor to a Heavenly King. That halo was blinding. And now, she knew that she had missed the best opportunity. Before Niu Youde became a Heavenly King, it was still possible for her daughter to be with him. However, once he ascended the throne, it was completely impossible. Beauty was nothing to a man of his status. Niu Youde was already on the same level as His Highness. How could he marry Mei 'er and be inferior to His Highness?
The self-blame in her heart was hard to increase. She had missed the best after picking and choosing. She deeply regretted it. She felt that she was short-sighted and had delayed her daughter's future. She would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
Little did she know that the marriage between Guang Mei 'er and Miao Yi had nothing to do with her. Lord Guang was indeed confident at the time and sent Gou Yue to discuss the marriage with Miao Yi. However, Miao Yi rejected him. That was why Lord Guang changed his words to her. He couldn't afford to lose face, so he didn't tell her the truth.
However, she didn't expect it to become the crux of her heart. Since then, she couldn't help but compare the standard of marrying her daughter to Niu Youde's, which always annoyed her.
South Town Star, Vitality Sect. The flags outside the Vitality Palace fluttered in the wind. The entire Vitality Sect was solemn and solemn.
On the stone steps leading from the mountainside to the Morality Palace, the Morality Sect's disciples lined up neatly on both sides of the steps, all the way to the mountaintop.
Bao Lian was wearing a brand new black robe. He wore a purple and gold crown on his head. He looked calm and dignified. His eyes were focused as he walked up the stairs. Wherever he went, the disciples standing on the stone steps all looked at him.
He climbed to the top of the mountain, walked across the plaza, and entered the Morality Palace.
Everyone in the hall watched as she walked to the front of Sect Leader Yuling who was standing in the middle.
Bao Lian lifted the front of his robe and knelt down on the cattail hassock. He kowtowed to Yuling Sect Leader three times and nine times, then raised his hands.
After a solemn warning, Sect Leader Yu Ling officially handed a purple-red Sect Leader's Token to her hand. Then, she retreated to the side and gave up the first seat to stand with Yu Xu and Yu Lian.
From today onwards, the three of them would officially retire behind the scenes and become the Vitality Sect's Elders. The Vitality Sect would be handed over to the new generation of disciples, and Bao Lian would officially take over as the Sect Leader.
Before Master Yu Xu returned from Marshal Mao Lu's manor, Miao Yi sent him off and hinted that he could hand over the position of Sect Leader to Bao Lian.
As soon as Master Yu Xu returned, he informed his Senior and Junior Brothers of the situation. The Vitality Sect immediately began to make arrangements for the handover, which was how this happened.
Initially, there were many in the sect who objected to Bao Lian taking over as the Sect Leader. Some things were obvious. Master Xi Wu was the first generation of the Vitality Sect, Master Yu Ling was the second generation, Deming was the third generation, and Bao Lian was the fourth. There were still many people in the third generation. Why would they give the position to Bao Lian?
It wasn't a big deal to say that the Sect Leader was selfish. Master Yu Ling's character had been there for so many years. It was just that Bao Lian wasn't qualified to be the Sect Leader. On top of that, many people had doubts about Bao Lian marrying Niu Youde as a concubine. They doubted the direction Bao Lian would lead the Vitality Sect in the future. It didn't matter if they said it was unfair or not, but there were still some stubborn people among the third generation.
Once the Heavenly Decree was issued, it was announced to the world. His Majesty the Celestial Emperor had not gone back on his word. Niu Youde becoming the Southern Army's Heavenly King was already set in stone.
As soon as this news came out, there was no need to say anything else. It immediately suppressed all the doubts within the Vitality Sect.
What did it mean to be the Southern Army's Heavenly King? He had a vast amount of resources under his control. Once Bao Lian became the Sect Leader of the Vitality Sect, anyone who wasn't an idiot would know that it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Vitality Sect. Bao Lian would definitely fight for the Vitality Sect's growth from Niu Youde's hands, and so it was confirmed that Bao Lian would take over the position.
However, the news of Bao Lian marrying Niu Youde hadn't been made public yet. For now, only the people in the grand hall knew about it. This was the result of a discussion with Niu Youde. Niu Youde wanted to wait until he had nothing else to worry about before making it public.
After receiving the Sect Leader's token, Bao Lian walked to the main seat and turned to face the crowd. He showed the token in his hand to everyone.
"Greetings, Sect Leader!" Everyone in the grand hall bowed to him.
Under a big tree in the Spiritual Field, Taoist Master De Ming was lying in the shade, drunk. Taoist Master De Shi walked over with a pot of wine in his hand. He kicked De Ming's leg and said, "Senior Brother, your daughter is taking over the position of Sect Leader. It's such a grand occasion. Why don't you wash yourself clean and attend the ceremony?"
De Ming's lips curled into a smile, but he didn't say anything.
"You can be happy all you want." The cross-eyed De Shi looked at him with disdain. He walked to the side and sat down. He raised his head and poured wine into his mouth.
Suddenly, De Ming's slow voice came from the side. "Junior Brother, do you think I was wrong about what happened all those years ago?"
De Shi tilted his head and saw that De Ming's eyes were glazed over. Of course, he knew what De Ming was talking about. He sighed and said, "Senior Brother, are you still brooding over what happened all those years ago? It's been so many years. Don't think about it anymore. "
De Ming let out a breath that reeked of alcohol. He laughed and said, "I understand my father's determination back then, but what about now? Doesn't he know that Bao Lian is going to marry Niu Youde and take over as Sect Leader? What's the difference between this and my original beliefs? After going around in circles, I've finally walked the path that I wanted to walk back then. Hehe, those who opposed me back then are all silent now. I thought about it for a long time before I figured out the reason. Back then, I was more exposed to the outside world, while they were hiding in the sect and had less contact with the outside world. Hence, their views changed slower. After so many years, they've finally come to terms with reality. "
De Shi lowered his head and was silent for a while. Then, he said, "It's not the same. It's because Bao Lian likes Niu Youde. That's why Sect Leader allowed Bao Lian to marry Niu Youde."
"That's why Sect Leader Bao Lian became Sect Leader?" De Ming teased. Then, he laughed and said, "Don't you think this reason is ridiculous?" After that, he stopped talking and continued drinking.
De Shi, who had been silent for a while, suddenly picked up his wine gourd. He raised his head to his mouth and gulped down the wine. The wine dripped down and soaked his clothes …
Huangfu walked into her own courtyard. It was quiet and peaceful as usual. The male owner of the house did not like random people entering and leaving his house.
Wu Ning was sitting in the pavilion with a blood-red broadsword in his hand. He was carefully wiping it with a piece of white cloth. He was very serious about it!
Huangfu Duanrong stared at the broadsword in his hand as she slowly walked into the pavilion. Her husband rarely showed this broadsword. She did not know why he had taken it out in the courtyard that day. Although few people came here, what if?
"Is there something on your mind?" Huangfu Duanrong sat across the stone table and asked.
"No!" Wu Ning shook his head and denied it. He seemed to still be immersed in the process of wiping the broadsword.
Since he did not admit it, Huangfu Duanrong did not ask further. She knew that this person would say what needed to be said. It would not be appropriate for her to ask about things that should not be said. She looked around and asked, "Y? Y? Did Y go out? "
Wu Ning said, "He's cooped himself up in the house …" He paused, then added, "She has something on her mind."
"Sigh! Who knows. " Huangfu Duanrong sighed. She knew that it was probably due to Niu Youde's influence. Not only did she witness Niu Youde's actions with her own eyes, she even witnessed Niu Youde taking in a concubine. After being trapped and escaping, she immediately returned home. Her mood was a little down. "That Niu Youde has been causing quite a bit of trouble recently. In order to ascend the throne, he didn't even let Pang Guan's father-in-law go. Even Heavenly King Hao Tian was forced to his death by him. He's about to become a Heavenly King and has a bright future ahead of him. However, who should he complain to for the hundreds of millions of lives that have died tragically? It's said that a general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand people. It's a living example! Compared to this kind of unscrupulous person who uses human lives to accumulate wealth, the shady things that our Hero Ensemble has done are simply too merciful. The number of people that the Hero Ensemble has killed over the years is not even a fraction of what he did. Who's evil and who's good? He killed so many people in one go, yet he's openly admired and respected by the world. The Hero Ensemble has to kill a few people in secret. Where's the justice in this world? "
Wu Ning said absent-mindedly, "What does other people's business have to do with us? You don't seem to be upset at all that you can't be the shopkeeper anymore. "
Huangfu Duanrong pouted and said with slight dissatisfaction, "Grandfather is dead, and now Second Grandfather Huangfu Zhuo is in charge. I have the Hero Ensemble's source of income in my hands. How can he be at ease? Isn't it only a matter of time before I'm replaced? What's there to be surprised about. " She was now considered to have been promoted and became the Huangfu Family's Punishment Master. The family rules were there, and no one in the family would break the family rules all the time. Hence, she was very idle. To put it bluntly, she was promoted on the surface but demoted in reality. She did not have any real power in her hands.
However, it did not matter to her now. She had thought things through under the circumstances. She had worked so hard just to obtain more cultivation resources. Since Niu Youde had secretly given ten percent of the Morality Shop's shares, the mother and daughter would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. They also did not lack cultivation resources. If they were to encounter any difficulties, with Niu Youde's current influence, would it still be a problem? She was too lazy to worry about that. Wasn't it good to eat, drink, and cultivate in peace?
Unexpectedly, Wu Ning did not answer her question and threw out a sentence out of the blue. "You seem to be very concerned about Niu Youde."
Huangfu Duanrong waved her hand disapprovingly and sneered, "What's there for me to be concerned about? Now that everyone in the world is talking about it, can't I say something?"
Wu Ning said again, "Niu Youde and? Y? What's the relationship between Y? "
