Moreover, Mu Qingxiao had already warned Qiu Chuji to pay more attention to Zhao Zhijing and his disciples.
Presumably, Qiu Chuji would not dare to ignore his words. Zhao Zhijing was just a small character. What kind of storm could he stir up?
Looking at the backs of Zhao Zhijing and the others, Yang Guo said calmly, "Brother Qingxiao, of course I know. It's just that these Taoist priests are too arrogant. They're just using Quanzhen's name to do whatever they want."
"When Wang Chongyang was alive, Jianghu was respected by everyone. It's natural for them to have this attitude. They treat everything and everyone around them the same way. However, if they're so arrogant without absolute strength, they'll be in trouble sooner or later. Just ignore them. Let's go in."
After that, Mu Qingxiao led the way into Dasheng Pass and went straight to Cloud Manor.
At this time, Guo Jing and Huang Rong were already standing in front of Cloud Manor, waiting for the arrival of Quanzhen's group.
"Hero Guo, Chief Huang, Quanzhen's Zhao Zhijing has come to pay a visit."
After seeing Zhao Zhijing, Guo Jing cupped his fists and said, "Senior Zhao, how have you been? Why don't I see Master and Uncle-Master?"
"Originally, after receiving Chief Huang's Hero's Invitation, Master planned to come. However, the Chief and Master had something to do, so I was sent here first …"
At this time, Mu Qingxiao had already brought Yang Guo to Cloud Manor. They stood behind the various Jianghu sects and watched as if nothing had happened.
"I see. Thank you for coming all the way here to attend the Hero's Assembly. Senior Zhao, please come in."
Zhao Zhijing wasn't lying. Mu Qingxiao knew better than anyone else.
More than forty thousand elite disciples of the Quan Zhen Sect rushed to Xiangyang City. Qiu Chuji needed to oversee the Quan Zhen Sect because the number of disciples sent out was too large. Naturally, the Seven Masters of Quan Zhen had to lead them.
If Hao Datong and the others were here, Mu Qingxiao would find it strange.
Huang Rong's Hero's Invitation had been sent out, but Quanzhen didn't send anyone. It was unreasonable, so they could only send someone like Zhao Zhijing, who couldn't make it.
After all, the Quan Zhen Sect only had these few people to rely on.
With Mu Qingxiao pressuring them, Qiu Jichu had no choice but to mobilize the Quanzhen Seven Masters. Compared to resisting the Meng Empire, the Heroes Assembly was simply child's play.
After Zhao Zhijing and the others entered the Cloud Manor, Mu Qingxiao smiled and said, "The Hero Assembly hasn't started yet. Let's find a place to rest and have a drink. We'll come back tomorrow to join in the fun."
Hearing this, Yang Guo nodded in agreement.
Even though Mu Qingxiao looked younger than him, Yang Guo knew that this was just a facade. In his heart, he was still in awe of her.
More than ten years had not left a single trace of aging on Mu Qingxiao's body, which made his reverence for her even deeper!

.....
In the early morning of the vertical day, the sun rose from the east. Various sects and schools rushed over one after another. The Hero Assembly began as scheduled.
At this time, Guo Jing and Huang Rong stood at the entrance of the hall of the Cloud Manor. The hall was full of senior members of various sects and schools. Outside the hall, heroes of Jianghu gathered. Seeing the surrounding scene, Huang Rong's face evoked a smile.
Huang Rong was holding the Dog Beating Stick, the token of the leader of A Gang of Beggars. She stepped forward, glanced around and said, "Thank you for coming to this Heroes Assembly. The purpose is to contribute to resisting the Meng Empire …"
As soon as she finished speaking, Huang Rong turned to look at Lu Youjiao and said sincerely, "Elder Lu, you have helped me take care of the affairs of A Gang of Beggars for more than ten years. The disciples of A Gang of Beggars are sincerely convinced by you. From today on, I will pass the position of leader of A Gang of Beggars to you. Please accept the Dog Beating Stick!"
Looking at Huang Rong personally offering the Dog Beating Stick, Lu Youjiao was a little embarrassed, but he was very excited. After the excitement, he knelt on the ground and took the Dog Beating Stick. From today on, he was the leader of the 20th generation of A Gang of Beggars.
This scene did not surprise anyone present. For more than ten years, Lu Youjiao had taken care of the affairs of A Gang of Beggars. He had been regarded as the leader of A Gang of Beggars. The only thing he lacked was the Dog Beating Stick.
Holding the Dog Beating Stick over his head with both hands, Lu Youjiao said excitedly, "I, Lu Youjiao, am the leader of A Gang of Beggars. I will follow the example of the leader of A Gang of Beggars. I will lead the disciples of A Gang of Beggars to report to the country. I will help the weak, do more chivalrous deeds, and expel the Tartars!"
"Expel the Tartars, defend the territory!"
"Expel the Tartars, defend the territory!"
"Expel the Tartars, defend the territory …"
In the Cloud Manor, the disciples of A Gang of Beggars were shouting loudly. Guo Jing looked excited. He hurried to Lu Youjiao and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "As long as we unite, we can expel all the foreign tribes that trampled on the territory of the Great Song from the Central Plains!"
"Expel the Tartars, surround the territory!"
"Expel the Tartars, surround the territory!"
Looking at the cheers around her, Huang Rong raised her hand. "From today on, we, A Gang of Beggars, will follow Leader Lu's orders. Good, let's salute the new leader!"
"Do chivalrous deeds, punish the strong and help the weak. Since the leader is in his position, let's promote A Gang of Beggars!"
Following that, the disciples of A Gang of Beggars performed a heavy salute to the new leader of A Gang of Beggars. Even though Mu Qingxiao had been through a lot, the corners of her mouth still couldn't help but twitch. She simply turned her head away.
Every disciple of A Gang of Beggars had to spit on the new leader of A Gang of Beggars. Some of them even spat. The scene was so beautiful that she couldn't bear to look at it directly.
Mu Qingxiao really couldn't imagine how A Gang of Beggars came up with this kind of salute. Couldn't they be more f * cking normal?
Yang Guo looked at the scene with great interest. He smiled and said, "A Gang of Beggars' rules are really interesting. Could it be that Auntie Guo was also like this in the past?"
"Ha … your Auntie Guo was an exception. If you let her accept this kind of salute, I'm afraid she would rather die than accept it. This is beyond disgusting."
Mu Qingxiao laughed dryly. She didn't want to continue talking about it.
If thousands of disciples of A Gang of Beggars were to spit on them, they would probably lose their appetite for a few days. Not to mention the people involved, they would probably want to die.
However, at this moment, Lu Youjiao's face was still smiling. He looked very honored. With this kind of temperament and endurance, it would be difficult for him not to become the leader of A Gang of Beggars.
Mu Qingxiao might never be able to reach Lu Youjiao's temperament and endurance. At the same time, she also understood that there was always someone better than her. She couldn't help but respect him.
After a while, Huang Rong couldn't stand it anymore. She raised her hand. Today's main purpose was the Hero Assembly, not a spitting event. Therefore, she resolutely ended the salute process.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats."
Following Huang Rong's words, the Hero Assembly officially opened. The heroes who received the invitation entered the hall one after another.
