Su Xin's words were unclear, causing everyone present to scratch their heads in confusion.
So what if you're young? So what if you're strong? Does this have anything to do with you killing Hou Tong?
As for meritorious service to the gang, Su Xin's meritorious service is great, but it is precisely because of this that you cannot be let off easily.
If someone were to act like you in the future and start messing around right after making a meritorious service, wouldn't the gang be in chaos?
Su Xin looked at Sha Feiying. His words were not meant for them to hear. It was fine as long as Sha Feiying could understand.
They were all smart people. Sha Feiying looked at Su Xin with a solemn gaze. He understood the meaning behind Su Xin's words.
Su Xin's three sentences were actually expressing the same meaning. With me around, I can help you keep the three hall masters in check!
The Flying Eagle Gang's situation was similar to the Azure Bamboo Gang. Sha Feiying also had a son, but he was already old. In contrast, the three hall masters were in their prime.
If Sha Feiying really died one day, how could his son, Sha Yuandong, who was not much stronger than the Azure Bamboo Gang's Wei Feng, control the Flying Eagle Gang?
The Azure Bamboo Gang's mistakes were right in front of them. They had to be on guard!
Now, even if Lin Fuhu was loyal to the three hall masters of the Flying Eagle Gang and supported his son, would Dong Chengwu and Zhuang Li do the same?
Dong Chengwu was needless to say. Although Zhuang Li seemed to be smiling and looked like a good person, he was a famous bandit in Xiangnan before he joined the Flying Eagle Gang. His methods were ruthless and he killed people like flies.
Others might not know, but Sha Feiying knew very well that even though Zhuang Li had not personally fought for more than a decade, he was still secretly practicing his famous double-edged miaodao!
If the two of them were to join forces, could the simple-minded Lin Fuhu deal with them? Obviously not.
And at this time, what Sha Feiying needed was someone with different interests but who could keep them in check. And that person was Su Xin!
Su Xin was still young. Even if he was powerful and ambitious, he couldn't stop the other leaders from usurping the position. These elders of the Flying-eagle Gang would never be convinced by Su Xin.
Su Xin had the strength. As long as he was given time to grow, he could definitely contend against Dong Chengwu and Zhuang Li.
Su Xin had performed meritorious deeds for the gang, so he was loyal to the Eagle Gang. He did not have the qualifications to usurp the position, so he could only support the Young Gang Leader and fight against Dong Chengwu.
Three sentences, three meanings. Sha Feiying understood them all.
If he kept Su Xin, he could help him keep the other two Hall Masters in check, but if he severely punished Su Xin, it would only make Su Xin's subordinates dissatisfied, and the hearts of the gang members would waver.
Moreover, Su Xin and Dong Chengwu were like fire and water. Even if they wanted to join forces in the future, it would be impossible.
As the Gang Leader, Sha Feiying definitely saw further than others, so he decided to keep Su Xin!
"It's against the sect's rules to turn against one's own. We can't just let such a huge matter go, "Sha Feiying said slowly.
Dong Chengwu's face did not show any surprise. Su Xin had gone too far. Even if Lin Fuhu wanted to speak up for him, the Gang Leader would definitely not tolerate it.
"So I've decided that all of Hu Laosan's territory will be taken over by the gang. Only ten of his subordinates will be left, and the rest will be assigned to the other leaders."
Everyone instantly stared with their eyes wide open.
Wasn't the one to be punished Su Xin? How did it become Hu Laosan? The Gang Leader actually agreed to let him take the blame for Su Xin?
Dong Chengwu stood up abruptly. "Gang Leader! The one who killed Hou Tong is Su Xin! "
Sha Feiying glanced at him and said, "Hu Laosan is Su Xin's adoptive father, his boss. He ordered Su Xin to kill Hou Tong. If Su Xin refused, wouldn't he be disloyal and unfilial? If that's the case, why should he be punished? Wouldn't this disappoint the brothers in the gang?
In the battle with the Azure Bamboo Gang, Su Xin single-handedly took down Yongle Market. With such a great contribution, he should be made a leader. Now that Hou Tong is dead, Su Xin will take his place. "
Seeing that Sha Feiying actually made such a decision, although Dong Chengwu was furious, he could only pinch his nose and accept it.
Although the Flying Eagle Gang was nominally in charge, the Gang Leader could not make a decision on his own once something big happened. It had to be discussed by a few hall masters and leaders.
But as long as Sha Feiying was around, the Flying Eagle Gang was his word.
This was the gang that he had single-handedly built. The power that Sha Feiying possessed was something that even the three hall masters combined could not contend against.
The other team leaders, on the other hand, felt a little upset.
When they were at Su Xin's age, they were still lusting after the girls in the brothels. But Su Xin had already become one of the leaders in the Flying Eagle Gang.
And with the power that Su Xin had, as long as he became the leader, he would be the strongest among the leaders.
Dong Chengwu waved his hand and left without saying a word. Seeing this, the others also left.
"Godfather, let's go," Su Xin came to Master Hu San's side and said softly.
Looking up at Su Xin, who did not look happy at all, Master Hu San sighed. He no longer had any thoughts of competing with Su Xin.
Now he understood Advisor Li's thoughts. Following a boss like Su Xin would mean a bright future.
And following an old man like him, he could only prepare to retire in the future.
After everyone left, Sha Feiying still sat on the chair at the head of the table without moving.
Rubbing his wrinkled brows, Sha Feiying did not know if the decision he made this time was right or wrong.
He could see that Su Xin was ambitious, powerful, and resourceful. This young man was definitely not easy to deal with. Even the cunning Master Hu San was completely under his control.
But Su Xin's three sentences pointed out his own importance, so Sha Feiying had to keep him to keep Dong Chengwu and Zhuang Li in check.
Actually, if there were other candidates, Sha Feiying would definitely not choose the ambitious Su Xin.
"Sigh, I killed too many people back then." Sha Feiying rubbed his temples and said regretfully.
When the Flying Eagle Gang was first established, there were more than 30 leaders. There were many people who were stronger and more talented than Dong Chengwu and the other two leaders.
But that night, these people who could not be controlled all died under Sha Feiying's knife.
A young man pushed open the door and said impatiently, "Father, is your meeting not over yet?"
This young man was only in his early twenties. One could vaguely see Sha Feiying's appearance when he was young. He was naturally Sha Feiying's only son, Sha Yuandong.
Sha Feiying had a son in his middle age. He had high hopes for his son, but unfortunately, he spoiled him too much, causing Sha Yuandong to have a playboy temper.
Last time, the gang war between the Azure Bamboo Gang and the Soaring Eagle Gang was caused by him and the Azure Bamboo Gang's Wei Feng fighting over a woman's affection. This matter had become a joke in Chang Ning Manor.
To start a gang war for a woman from a brothel, this was simply inconceivable in the eyes of the other gang leaders.
"Yuandong, why are you looking for me?"
Sha Yuandong said casually, "I saw a good horse from Eastern Jin at Changde Lane. It's an authentic curly-haired lion's mane. It's a hundred thousand taels of silver, no bargaining. I had a hard time snatching it from the hands of the Three Heroes Association.
But I didn't bring enough money, so I got someone to watch over it. Father, quickly give me a hundred thousand taels of silver. I'll go buy that curly-haired lion's mane right now. "
"You only know how to fool around! You're not young anymore. When I die, this Flying Eagle Gang will be handed over to you sooner or later. How are you going to manage the Flying Eagle Gang like this? With your curly-haired lion's mane? "
Sha Feiying's stern rebuke immediately scared Sha Yuandong until his face turned pale.
Although he hated Sha Yuandong for not living up to his expectations, Sha Feiying really couldn't bear to teach this son of his a lesson.
Seeing Sha Yuandong's frightened appearance, Sha Feiying's tone immediately softened.
"Yuandong, your father, I, am already old. I can't protect you for a lifetime. Look at Wei Feng now. Do you want to be like him in the future, a puppet for subordinates?"
Sha Yuandong said disdainfully, "Of course I won't be like that trash."
Sha Feiying snorted coldly and said, "Just talking is useless. When there's an opportunity, I'll let you participate in gang affairs and let you familiarize yourself with the process. If you can produce some results, that's naturally the best. Otherwise, what right do you have to lead subordinates in the future?"
Sha Yuandong said matter-of-factly, "This Flying Eagle Gang was founded by my Sha Family. With our Sha Family's prestige, who would dare to say no?"
Sha Feiying's face revealed a look of disappointment. This son of his was still a little too naive. If it were Su Xin, he definitely wouldn't say such words.
Even if it was an imperial dynasty, if the emperor was muddle-headed, he would also be pulled down from the throne, let alone a small gang like the Flying Eagle Gang.
Thinking of Su Xin, and then looking at his own son, Sha Feiying thought that if Sha Yuandong had one-tenth of Su Xin's schemes, he wouldn't have to worry so much.
"Alright, you can leave first."
Sha Yuandong asked carefully, "What about the hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Sha Feiying waved his hand tiredly, "Go and ask Zhuang Li for it."
Sha Yuandong's face lit up, and he immediately turned around and ran out.
At this time, after Su Xin returned to Merry Forest, he immediately dismissed the others.
The moment Sha Feiying announced that he had become the team leader, the System's voice rang in Su Xin's mind.
"Congratulations to the Host for completing the main quest, Ambition (2). The completion rate has reached 50%. You will be rewarded with a specified category lottery right (2 stars and above, 3 stars and below). Would the Host like to conduct the lottery now?"
In that situation, Su Xin decisively chose no. Although he would only be absent-minded for a moment after entering the space, he still didn't want others to find out.
After returning to Merry Forest, Su Xin immediately announced that he would begin his closed-door training. He then entered the System and prepared to conduct the lottery.
The last three intermediate lottery draws had caused Su Xin quite a bit of trouble. If he were to be so unlucky this time, then it definitely wouldn't be a problem of Su Xin's luck anymore. It would simply be the System deliberately tricking him.
