Miejue stared at Mu Qingxiao with a gentle gaze and nodded in satisfaction. "I've learned about what happened just now from Zhiruo. Thank you for saving my life, Young Hero Mu. I hope you won't refuse what we discussed earlier."
"Shitai, you're a hero among women. Since I've already promised you, I won't go back on my word."
Miejue nodded and immediately took the Heavenly Sword from Zhou Zhiruo's hand. She drew the Heavenly Sword out of her body and waved her arms to the surroundings. "Fellow Wulin brothers, Miejue has a presumptuous request. I'd like everyone to bear witness to it."
In an instant, the eyes of the surrounding Wulin brothers fell on Miejue. They wanted to know what she was going to do.
Miejue opened her mouth and said, "Emei Sect has suffered heavy losses in this siege on Brightness Peak. There's no successor. I'm already old, so I want to find a hero to take over Emei Sect. I want Emei Sect to flourish so that Ancestor Guo Xiang can rest in peace in the netherworld.
"Along the way, only Young Hero Mu is indifferent to fame and fortune. He stands aloof from worldly affairs. His talent is extraordinary, and he has saved Emei Sect many times. I hereby announce that from now on, Young Hero Mu will be the fourth Sect Leader of Emei Sect!"
As soon as Miejue finished speaking, everyone present looked at each other. This matter really surprised them. Miejue actually wanted to pass the position of Emei Sect Leader to Mu Qingxiao!
This matter was not trivial. How could she be so reckless? Moreover, Mu Qingxiao was a disciple of Wudang Sect!
Emei Sect was fighting with Wudang Sect for a disciple. Wasn't this a slap in the face?
Standing in the distance, the Wudang Sect disciples had mixed feelings. The ordinary disciples secretly supported Mu Qingxiao. After all, these disciples got along well with him and had been taken care of by him.
On the other hand, Song Qingshu clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were filled with unwillingness and jealousy. Originally, he had planned to get into Miejue's good books and then get close to Zhou Zhiruo. That way, he would be able to enjoy the benefits of being in a favorable position.
However, he did not expect that Mu Qingxiao would appear out of nowhere and snatch away what he wanted the most!
The sect master of Emei Sect was definitely a terrifying identity. Forget about her status in the world of martial artists for the time being, she also had a long history with Wudang Sect. Even if she was not one of the six great system-allocated sects, with Zhang Sanfeng as her protective talisman, it was enough for Emei Sect to do whatever she wanted in the world of martial artists.
Song Yuanqiao's expression kept changing. He really didn't want to give Mu Qingxiao, a monstrous and outstanding disciple, to Emei Sect. He took a step forward and said, "Abbess Miejue, Mu Qingxiao …"
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Abbess Miejue's resolute and decisive tone. "Great Hero Song, you don't have to say anything. We are all elders, and there are some things that we know in our hearts."
Seeing the scene in front of them, the other sects wanted to watch a good show. Although they felt that it was a pity that Mu Qingxiao was fought over by Wudang Sect and Emei Sect, there was nothing they could do about it.
"The future sect master of Wudang Sect is Young Hero Song. Young Hero Mu does not have a special identity. Miejue letting Young Hero Mu take over the position of Emei Sect's sect master is not excessive, but this matter is still left to Young Hero Mu to choose. What do you think?"
Hearing Miejue's words, Song Yuanqiao, Yin Liting, and the others looked at each other. Miejue had already explained the matter clearly and let them make the first choice. What else could they do? Could they force Mu Qingxiao?
Not to mention that doing so would go against their morals, if they dared to do so, the matter would definitely spread to Zhang Sanfeng's ears, and the consequences would be unpredictable.
Most importantly, it was just as Miejue had said. Although Mu Qingxiao was his direct disciple, his martial arts were much better than his. His identity could only be considered as an ordinary disciple, and there was nothing special about him.
He was also not like Song Qingshu, who was being trained as the future sect master of Wudang Sect.
Song Yuanqiao and the others had nothing to say, but if they really fought over it, it would have a bad impact on the two sects. Therefore, they said, "Alright, this matter will be decided by him. We will not interfere with each other."
This problem was too simple for Mu Qingxiao. He had no feelings for Wudang Sect, and there was nothing in Wudang Sect that he coveted, unlike Emei Sect's Heavenly Sword, which he had to obtain in order to complete a task.
"Master, thank you for taking care of me all this time. However, Abbess has asked me for such a great favor, and I can't refuse. I hope you can forgive me." As soon as he said this, there was already an answer. However, Mu Qingxiao felt a little sick in his heart. Even he himself felt that his words were a little hypocritical.
Song Yuanqiao shook his head and sighed. He still felt that it was a pity. After all, Mu Qingxiao was much more outstanding than his son.
Mu Qingxiao took a deep breath and looked at Miejue, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, with a serious expression. He said, "Abbess, Qingxiao promises you that I will officially take over as the fourth sect master of Emei Sect. Emei Sect will definitely flourish in my hands!"
Since Mu Qingxiao had made a promise, he naturally would not go back on his words. As for the flourishing of Emei Sect, as long as he gave up the position of sect master before he left, everything would be fine. Whatever happened in the future would not have much to do with him.
Hearing Mu Qingxiao's promise, Miejue still held the Heavenly Sword and shouted, "Disciples of Emei Sect, listen up!"
The disciples of Emei Sect did not dare to hesitate. They quickly knelt down in unison. Only Ding Minjun was dumbfounded. She looked at Miejue passing the position of sect master to Mu Qingxiao with an unwilling gaze.
"How is this possible … Master clearly said that he would train me as the future sect master of Emei Sect!"
Ding Minjun muttered to herself as if she was possessed. She knew that her master liked Zhou Zhiruo very much, so she had always been careful.
However, she did not expect that Miejue would not play by the rules. He actually snatched a disciple from Wudang Sect in public and personally passed the important position of sect master to Mu Qingxiao of Wudang Sect!
"Master, how can you pass the position of sect master of Emei Sect to an outsider?"
Miejue turned his head slightly and shouted sternly, "Ding Minjun, kneel down! Have you grown up and now you dare to disobey my orders?"
Hearing this, Ding Minjun's face turned pale. She hurriedly knelt down. She knew very well that Miejue had always been very strict, especially when it came to sect rules. Otherwise, he would not have killed Ji Xiaofu with one palm!
Seeing all the disciples of Emei Sect kneel down behind him, Miejue said, "I declare that from today onwards, Mu Qingxiao will be the fourth sect master of Emei Sect. His words represent Emei Sect. If you dare to disobey, you will be punished according to sect rules!"
"Sect Master, please receive the sword!" After saying this, Miejue glanced at the Heavenly Sword that had accompanied him for decades. In the end, he raised it to Mu Qingxiao's hand. The etiquette was extremely solemn.
After Mu Qingxiao received the Heavenly Sword, he could feel the sharpness coming from it. It was indeed a rare good sword. At least, other than the Soul Sword, this was the sword with the strongest sharpness that he had ever used.
At the same time, the System's notification rang in his mind again. "Ding! Successfully obtained the Heavenly Sword. The host still needs to collect the Dragon Saber. Please continue to work hard."
