Ambitious and Ruthless Temperament
"Of course!"
Fan Wujie was expressionless and his tone was indifferent, "Anyone who has condensed a ninth grade sword intent, regardless of age or cultivation, will be given the position of Honorary Sword Master. This rule has been passed down since the Wanjian Pavilion was established, so how can I ignore it?"
"Could it be that the three of you have objections?"
The topic suddenly changed as Fan Wujie's gaze fell on the three of them, making them feel uncomfortable as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
"The sect's rules have been passed down for a thousand years and naturally cannot be disobeyed. However, Luo Yun's experience is still shallow. If we give him the position of Honorary Sword Master now, it will only affect his cultivation."
Chang Chixiao's eyes spun quickly as he said in a deep voice, "In my opinion, why don't we wait until he reaches the Heavenly Spirit Realm before giving him the position of Honorary Sword Master? This way, it will be more convincing."
"Luo Yun possesses the Aurora Sword Intent and his talent is astonishing. Within a year, he will definitely reach the Heavenly Spirit Realm. During this period of time, let him temper his mind. It will be greatly beneficial to him and the Wanjian Pavilion." Qin Qiumo agreed with a serious expression.
Fan Wujie stared at the two before him and paused for a moment before slowly saying, "Are you done?"
Thump!
Chang Chixiao and the other two's hearts trembled as they felt the atmosphere around them freeze. Raising their heads, they saw Fan Wujie standing up and looking down at them with a cold light in his eyes.
"During the Ancient Sword Auction, Luo Yun used underhanded methods to make Chang Mingyang lose face. He used an extremely low price to hand over the pitch-black heavy sword and became the laughing stock of everyone."
"After the trial ended, the three of you incited everyone to threaten Yun Changqing, wanting to kick Luo Yun out of the Sword Cleansing Pool. Who would have thought that Luo Yun would condense the Aurora Sword Intent and use sharp words to embarrass the three of you? You couldn't even refute him."
"Because of these two points, the three of you hold a grudge against Luo Yun. If Luo Yun becomes the Honorary Swordmaster, it will be extremely difficult for the three of you to secretly suppress him. Therefore, the position of the Honorary Swordmaster cannot be obtained by Luo Yun."
"What I said just now sounded like I was thinking for the sake of Wanjian Pavilion, but in reality, I was just clearing the way for you to deal with Luo Yun in the future. Am I right?"
Fan Wujie's voice was still calm, but it caused the expressions of the three people to become incomparably ugly. When the last sentence was spoken, their hearts suddenly trembled, and they immediately knelt on the ground.
"Pavilion Master, this is all a misunderstanding. We have no such intention!"
Chang Chixiao hurriedly spoke, looking completely flustered. He said loudly, "Everything we did was for the sake of Wanjian Pavilion. Although Luo Yun has a grudge against us, it's all in the past. Why would we wait for an opportunity to take revenge?"
"Luo Yun's talent is amazing. In the future, his achievements will definitely not be below Baili Kuangsheng. With such a person, Wanjian Pavilion will definitely prosper. The reason why we did this was to stabilize Luo Yun's heart for cultivation. There are no distracting thoughts."
"What the two Swordmasters have said is exactly what I am thinking. I hope the Pavilion Master can understand."
Qin Qiumo and Chang Mingyang kowtowed one after another. As they spoke, their bodies were trembling violently. A touch of fear and panic had already covered their faces.
"When did I say that I would blame you?" Fan Wujie sneered. His words caused the three people to stiffen. They raised their heads, their eyes filled with doubt.
"According to the sect rules, once Luo Yun enters Wanjian Pavilion, he must be given the position of Honorary Swordmaster. This is indisputable. However, what you said is also reasonable. The power of a Swordmaster is too great. In the end, it will affect his heart for cultivation."
Fan Wujie's tone was gentle as he said indifferently, "Therefore, his title of Honorary Swordmaster is only in name. It will definitely not affect the operation of Wanjian Pavilion."
"As for the grudge between the two of you, I have no interest. As long as Luo Yun is willing to stay in Wanjian Pavilion and be used by me, that is enough."
Speaking up to here, Chang Chixiao's face was filled with understanding. He placed his head on the ground and said fawningly, "The Pavilion Master's thoughts are indeed thorough. It is truly admirable!"
"I have said all that needs to be said. The matter of the trial ends here. All of you, leave quickly. Do not disturb my secluded cultivation." Fan Wujie waved his hand and ordered them to leave.
Hearing this, Chang Mingyang's expression became nervous. Just as he was about to speak, he was pulled back by Chang Chixiao and given a look.
He raised his head slightly and said respectfully, "The three of us will leave now. We will not disturb you any longer."
After saying this, Chang Chixiao stood up. The three of them bowed respectfully to Fan Wujie and then retreated until they left the pavilion.
Just as the three of them left the pavilion, a grey brilliance swept past and enveloped the entire space. When they opened their eyes, they were already far away from the mountains and standing on a spacious plain.
"Father, are we just going to let the trial end like this?"
Chang Mingyang immediately opened his mouth. His face was filled with anger. He said loudly, "Our two clans have spent millions of spiritual stones and bribed countless people. In the end, the 43 people we sent out have all died. Are we not going to investigate this matter anymore?"
As he spoke, Chang Mingyang's expression became more and more angry. He was almost roaring in anger. Chang Chixiao's expression became extremely gloomy. He said in a low voice, "The Pavilion Master has already said that the trial ends here. Even if we are angry, what can we do?"
Hearing this, Chang Mingyang immediately stopped talking. He closed his mouth and allowed his face to turn red.
Qin Qiumo sighed and said, "If the trial had been successful, the strength of our two clans would have increased by leaps and bounds. However, at the same time, it would have affected the balance of the three clans. Now, we have accomplished nothing. Instead, we have fallen into the Pavilion Master's trap."
"Just now, even if you had brought up this matter, there would have been no result. It would have been left unsettled."
"The Pavilion Master is ambitious and ruthless. Everything will be under his control!" Chang Chixiao's tone was cold. He said in a low voice, "That Luo Yun rejected the Pavilion Master twice. This filled the Pavilion Master's heart with coldness. Therefore, he stripped Luo Yun of his power and gave him a useless title."
"Moreover, he even said these things because he was scheming. He wanted to use our relationship with Luo Yun to suppress Luo Yun and make things difficult for him."
Chang Mingyang was stunned. He asked, "Why is that?"
Chang Chixiao immediately explained, "Luo Yun's talent is so amazing. In the future, his achievements will be extraordinary. The Pavilion Master wants to take such a talent as his subordinate. However, Luo Yun is very stubborn and refuses to become the Pavilion Master's disciple. Therefore, the Pavilion Master wants to use our hands to suppress Luo Yun and make his situation awkward."
"At that time, Luo Yun will naturally beg the Pavilion Master for forgiveness and become the Pavilion Master's disciple."
