Ping Ruoyu said, "Everyone, please don't be impatient! I understand your feelings, but I have to say that your vision is too narrow. Don't you know that a sect can be protected for a while, but when the Seven Demons come to bully you, it will usually be destroyed in a day? Do you think that fighting a war and dying of exhaustion is worthy of your sect's founder? What's more, when I propose to merge the sects, I don't mean to destroy all the sects, but to merge them into one. Everyone will call themselves allies and strengthen their power. In addition, each sect can still maintain its independent name, rules, and even customs. In the meantime, I only ask that everyone take out their secret books and learn from each other's strengths to make up for their weaknesses. Everyone is highly skilled in martial arts, so naturally we won't fear the Seven Demons! "
Everyone only understood half of what he said, but they finally knew that their sects could still be independent. They felt much better and said, "That's more like it."
Ping Ruoyu saw that the atmosphere had finally calmed down and was secretly happy. He said, "If no one has any objections, in order to facilitate communication, I propose that we divide the sects according to their location. Those that are close to each other will be grouped into one sect. We also need to consider the terrain to find the best place to fight. Against the Seven Demons, we can catch them unprepared! I have a few suggestions that I want to share with everyone … "
Before he finished speaking, a clear voice laughed and said, "Young Master Ping, your suggestions are good, but in the end, you're just an errand boy. After talking for so long, how come you're the only one talking? As if you're the Wulin Alliance Head? Why hasn't Alliance Head Li said anything? "
Someone else laughed and said, "That's right, Alliance Head Li. Now that you're the bridegroom, you don't like to talk to people? Why are you acting so shy like a bride? "
Ping Ruoyu's face flashed with a hint of unhappiness, but it disappeared immediately. He walked lightly to Li Yijie's side and said, "Alliance Head Li is very tired. He hasn't had a good night's sleep these past few days because he's been discussing the plan with me. It's not easy for him to be able to force himself to come here. Let's not disturb him. But I can guarantee that Alliance Head Li has seen all the plans I've come up with personally. It's enough to represent his decision. Everyone can trust me. "
Everyone was still hesitating. After all, this Young Master Ping was a rising star of the pugilistic world. He had been running around to spread the message of the alliance. Everyone thought that he was one of Li Yijie's assistants, so they looked at him with disdain. Later on, when they found out that he was Young Master Ping of the Four Great Clans, there was a world of difference in their attitudes. As expected, strength wasn't the most important thing. Whether or not he had a strong backer was the most important thing.
Just as everyone was in doubt, a faint voice suddenly rang out, "What Ruoyu said is what I meant." Everyone was puzzled for a while. Finally, someone realized that it was Li Yijie, who was sitting alone on the side, who was talking. Her head and neck were still buried deep in the ground, her long hair covering her entire face. She never intended to raise her head to look at the crowd, or perhaps she was used to this kind of scene and didn't care about it at all.
Someone in the crowd laughed and scolded, "Alliance Head Li has been in his position for so long, he's getting more and more arrogant." "Who told him to get married? There's a saying: people are in high spirits when they're in a good mood! "" That's right, but why does Alliance Head Li look even more dispirited? "
It turned out that Ping Ruoyu was standing next to Li Yijie and was using the ventriloquism technique to speak. He intentionally sat closer to Li Yijie for this reason. The ventriloquism technique made one's voice vague, and when one lowered their head and muttered, their voice was also vague and indistinct. The two were enough to match. As for Li Yijie, because he was still unwilling to abdicate, Manor Head Ping had been waiting impatiently and had already given him some medicine. He lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep. This allowed people with ulterior motives to take advantage of his body and put on an act.
Ping Ruoyu said, "Then let's continue what we were talking about earlier. This strategy …" Halfway through, he used the ventriloquism technique again and said, "Wait, Brother Ping, I have something important to tell you." Then he pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, how come you're awake?" Finished speaking, he pretended to be Li Yijie and said in a low and deep voice, "I have been the Alliance Head for a long time. Until now, the Wulin world is still shrouded in an abyss of suffering. I have not been able to fulfill my promise to drive away the Tartars and restore the Han dynasty's rivers and mountains. I have not even been able to accomplish the task of eliminating the Seven Malevolent Demons. It is all my fault … "
An old man in the crowd said, "Alliance Head Li, you have already led us to do a lot. The Seven Malevolent Demons have committed so many evil deeds, we all share the responsibility and cannot shirk our responsibility. How can we put all the blame on your head? " "That's right, Alliance Head Li. We were able to successfully destroy the Devil Cult's nest, all thanks to your leadership. Who will win and who will lose in the future still needs to be discussed. Why should you brood over it? You are our entire hope. You must not give up on yourself! "
Ping Ruoyu pretended to be Li Yijie and said, "Friends, my fault is truly unforgivable. I know you are just comforting me. After several days of careful consideration, I have made up my mind to abdicate my position! From now on, I will no longer be your Alliance Head. "
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, looking around in shock. Someone shouted, "Alliance Head Li, what are you saying? Is there any obstacle in the world that cannot be overcome? In our eyes, you are the only Alliance Head in the Wulin world of the Central Plains! Why are you abdicating your position? Why are you giving up your position? If we are talking about being virtuous, you are the only virtuous person! If you want to abdicate your position, we will not agree! "Someone opened his mouth. More and more people echoed," That's right, we only recognize you! Everyone needs you. The Wulin world needs you, Alliance Head Li! "
Ping Ruoyu sneered in his heart, "When he first became the Alliance Head, wasn't it you all? How many of you respected him? Now that he has finally followed your wishes, you want to pretend to be a gentleman? "
Changing his identity, he said, "I have made up my mind. Please do not try to persuade me. Of course, I abdicate my position because I no longer have the qualifications to be the Alliance Head. I will not completely withdraw from Jianghu. In the future, if you need anything, just say the word. I, Li Yijie, will not shirk my responsibility. In addition, I have already thought about the matters after my death. I will pass my position to my good brother, Ping Ruoyu, Prince Ping. His ability to devise strategies and divine strategies far surpasses mine. If I ask him to lead the Wulin world of the Central Plains, there will be hope for us to escape the clutches of evil sooner rather than later. "
"Ping Gongzi is indeed a young hero," one of them said, "But you have been the Meng Zhu for a long time, how can you … how can you leave this mess behind and walk away?" "That's right," Ping Ruoyu also said, "Li Xiong, this joke is too big. If you want me to be your assistant and help you manage the affairs of the Wulin world, there is no problem at all. But you … why do you suddenly want to pass your position to me? I … I don't dare to accept this. "
After a pause, he disguised himself as Li Yijie and said, "Brother Ping, I know that passing this burden to you is indeed a bit too heavy. You have no obligation to share all the glory and disgrace for me. But today, it is not because of the difference in power or personal relationship. I am asking you for the sake of the common people! Brother Ping, please take the safety of the Wulin world as your own responsibility and take charge of the situation on my behalf. I am truly grateful! " After saying this, he lowered his voice and pretended to hesitate, "This … I am afraid I am not up to the task … Brother Li, please find someone else …"
Manor Head Ping listened to her act from the side. He could not hide the trace of a proud sneer on his face. It was just that he was still far away and the people below the stage could not see clearly. He opened his mouth and said, "Alright, Yu 'er. Since Alliance Head Li trusts you so much, you should reluctantly do it. You are a child with little ambition. You have been restrained by the teachings of your ancestors. You have not had the opportunity to make any achievements in the Central Plains. If a person wants to walk faster and further, he cannot always rely on others to support him. There will be a day when you throw away your crutch. Only then will you be considered to have truly matured. "
The people below the stage followed suit and said loudly, "That's right, Young Master Ping. Since you are Alliance Head Li's brother, you are also everyone's brother and friend. It is better for you to be the Alliance Head than to let other people with ulterior motives benefit from it. "" That's right, Young Master Ping. Just agree! "
Ping Ruoyu pretended to be in a difficult position. When he saw that she had matured a little, he put on a face of accepting the order and said, "I am indebted to Alliance Head Li's favor. If I continue to decline, it would seem that I do not know how to appreciate your kindness. Let's make it clear first. This is my first time taking up the position. If I have any shortcomings, I will ask you to give me more pointers. At the same time, I will make an oath here in front of all the seniors and friends. If I am unable to achieve the two goals set by Alliance Head Li within three years, I will take the blame and resign. "
When the people heard her words, they all agreed. Putting on a show of formality was a common thing when taking up the position, so they did not say much. When they first heard that Li Yijie had the intention to abdicate the position, there were a lot of people secretly moving around. However, the Alliance Head had always been a figurehead with no real power. Subordinates and important officials trying to seize power had already become a common practice. Rather than being the Alliance Head at the heart of the storm, it would be better to operate in the dark. In a trance, the people were of one mind, unanimously recommending Ping Ruoyu to take the position.
Ping Ruoyu stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the entire audience. Just one glance was enough to form a kind of overwhelming power, an arrogance that looked down disdainfully on the world, making the people shiver. Behind him, a servant loudly reported, "Wulin's Alliance Leader, please issue the golden token token arrow!" His voice spread out in waves. Nobody knew how many people were hiding in this manor. Following the Ping family's orders, they were constantly creating momentum. It made people timid and did not dare to cause trouble.
Under the uniform gaze of the crowd, several servants at the side carried out a golden lacquer tray. Unexpectedly, it was really made of pure gold. Although this was an intentional display, it was enough to show that the Ping Family's wealth was not ordinary. On the tray was a palm-sized silver token. On the token were four large characters, 'Heaven Protects the Righteous Path'. Ping Ruoyu looked at the token, trying hard to suppress his joy, but his breathing could not help but quicken. The servant still had a straight face, he said in a businesslike manner, "Wulin Alliance Head, please accept the token!"
Everybody knew that since Li Yijie personally passed the position to him, as soon as he received the token, Ping Ruoyu's position as the Alliance Head would be officially secured. Everybody held their breath, waiting for the ceremony to be completed, and then they would applaud and congratulate him. Shangguan Yaohua was restless in his chair, he anxiously said, "No … this is no good …" But due to the situation in front of him, he did not dare to say anything loudly. His voice was choked in his throat, like a mosquito's, and had long been drowned out by the clamor of the crowd.
Ping Ruoyu bowed deeply to the token. With a wave of her sleeves, she slowly raised one of her hands and extended it towards the plate. She purposely acted in a noble manner, slowing down her movements so that everyone could see her clearly, and never forget her actions. There were also a few young and impetuous people who came along with her. Seeing her putting on airs, they waited impatiently for her to pick up the things she wanted.
Shangguan Yaohua saw that her hand was already above the golden tray, he still remembered the promise he made to Nangong Xue a few days ago. He could not be by her side, and could not take care of her at all times, so he could only fulfill his promise, as a way to show his care. 'Teng' he stood up, just as he was about to open his mouth, Manor Head Ping, who was sitting to the side, stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist, he said coldly, "Prince Cheng, you better sit down obediently. Otherwise, don't think that just because you are an important guest of the Seven Evil Spirits, I will follow the rules of the manor. "
Shangguan Yaohua's mind relaxed, he could not help but follow the force and fell back into his seat, his face was full of embarrassment.
This scene also attracted many curious gazes. Manor Master Ping responded with a smile. His expression made it seem as though he was not an ambitious and ruthless person with ulterior motives. Instead, he was truly an amiable and loving old man. He said, "Everyone, don't worry. This Xiao Xiongdi has lived here since he was little, he has not seen much of the outside world. This kind of gold-plated and silver-plated token is even more unlucky for him to see it, he just wants to see it more clearly. The ceremony of succeeding the Alliance Head should continue, there is no need to pay attention to him. "
