Are You Done?
"Your suggestion is not bad." Fan Wujie nodded. He looked at Chang Chixiao with satisfaction.
A few days ago, he had told Chang Chixiao that Chu Xingyun's position as the Honorary Sword Master was just a title without any real power. He had even asked Chang Chixiao and Qin Qiumo to secretly suppress Chu Xingyun.
Now, Chang Chixiao had responded. He wanted Chu Xingyun to join the internal affairs division and completely take over his position!
Chu Xingyun frowned. He stepped forward and said, "Pavilion Master, the internal affairs division is not suitable for me."
"The internal affairs division is responsible for managing the internal and external affairs of Wanjian Pavilion. I am not familiar with this. My goal in entering Wanjian Pavilion is to increase my cultivation and strength. I'm afraid that I won't be able to handle these matters. Furthermore …"
Before Chu Xingyun could finish speaking, Chang Chixiao suddenly walked to his side with a friendly smile. He said in a calm voice, "Sword Master Luo Yun, you don't have to worry about this."
He took a deep breath and said in a louder voice, "The allocation of cultivation resources is not as busy as you think. Furthermore, in order for you to get used to the internal affairs division as soon as possible, I will assign some disciples to assist you. It will not affect your cultivation."
"More importantly, you have condensed a ninth level sword intent. In the future, you will definitely be the pillar of Wanjian Pavilion. With the seven of us looking after you, you will be able to take fewer detours."
Chang Chixiao did not pause at all. Every word seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. He was considerate of Chu Xingyun and did not put on any pretense.
In fact, before the Sword Master Ceremony, Chang Chixiao had already guessed that Chu Xingyun would refuse. His words seemed to be for Chu Xingyun's sake, but secretly, it was to make it impossible for Chu Xingyun to refuse.
No matter what, he, Chang Chixiao, had been in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion for dozens of years. His experience was abundant, and his methods were unpredictable. A mere seventeen year old youth simply did not know how to deal with this kind of situation.
"This fellow is still as cunning as ever." Yun Changqing's expression was dark. He knew Chang Chixiao's true motive.
However, knowing was one thing, but he couldn't refute it.
Among the three divisions, the Technique Imparting Division was the weakest. It had no power and could not compete with the internal affairs division. Furthermore, he could vaguely see that Fan Wujie was supporting Chang Chixiao.
At this time, even if he spoke up to help Chu Xingyun, it would be useless. Chang Chixiao might even turn the tables on him.
Lei Yuanguang and the rest looked at each other. They shook their heads and sighed. They could not help.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Chang Chixiao was pleased. He turned his head and saw Chu Xingyun staring at him coldly. He said coldly, "Are you done?"
"Hmm?"
Chang Chixiao was stunned. He did not understand what he meant.
Chu Xingyun's eyes were still dark. He said coldly, "Since you are done, then shut your stinky mouth. What right do you have to interrupt my conversation with the Pavilion Master? Get out of my way!"
Hearing this, Chang Chixiao's expression changed. He was stunned on the spot.
He was not the only one. In the vast space, almost 100,000 people froze because of Chu Xingyun's words. They felt as if the world was spinning.
Chu Xingyun actually scolded Chang Chixiao and asked him to get out of the way?
"Luo Yun, how dare you!"
Chang Mingyang was so angry that he stood up. He pointed at Chu Xingyun and roared, "My father kindly arranged a position for you. Not only did you not appreciate it, you even scolded him in front of everyone. In your eyes, is there any respect for seniority?"
"Respect for seniority? What an interesting thing to say! " Chu Xingyun sneered. He stepped forward and walked to the side of the two angry people. His expression was no longer cold. Instead, it was filled with mockery.
He looked at Chang Mingyang first and said unhurriedly, "First, I'm now the Honorary Sword Master. In terms of status, I'm on the same level as Sword Master Scarlet Heaven. Since we're on the same level, I can speak to him as I wish. There's no need for excessive etiquette. If you really want to look into it, it seems that in your eyes, there's no need for seniority."
Turning his gaze, Chu Xingyun looked at the red-faced Chang Chixiao, and his smile grew even wider. "Secondly, the matter of the position is decided by me and the Pavilion Master together. When I'm talking to the Pavilion Master, no one is allowed to interrupt or disturb us. Could it be that Sword Master Chixiao doesn't understand such a basic principle?"
"You …" When Chang Chixiao heard the last sentence, he only felt a surge of blood rush through his meridians. He was so angry that his entire body trembled. His face was as ferocious as a ghost. He wanted nothing more than to swallow Chu Xingyun whole.
As for Chang Mingyang, he was in the same situation.
If it weren't for today's situation, he would have vented his anger long ago.
"Although Sword Master Chi Xiao is a little rash, his suggestion is very good. The two of you don't have to be so angry." Fan Wujie came out to smooth things over. Just as he finished speaking, he saw Chu Xingyun step forward again. He walked to the center and said seriously, "Pavilion Master, Luo Yun already has a position that he wants. I hope that Pavilion Master can agree to it."
"What position?" Fan Wujie asked subconsciously.
"I want to join the Technique Imparting Sect." Chu Xingyun continued, "Moreover, the area that I want to be in charge of is not the Inner Sect, but … the Outer Sect!"
Hearing this, the atmosphere that had just calmed down became tense again. No one spoke. They held their breaths and looked at Chu Xingyun in confusion.
Wanjian Pavilion was one of the Six Great Sects of the Northern Wilderness Region. The number of disciples in the pavilion could reach as many as 100,000.
Among these 100,000 disciples, there were only slightly more than 3,000 True Disciples, which was the smallest proportion. The number of Ordinary Disciples was the largest, reaching 90,000. The rest were Servant Disciples.
These 90,000 Ordinary Disciples were divided into Inner and Outer Sects.
The standard of division was not one's strength, but Sword Intent.
Those whose Sword Intent was below Level 3 would be in the Outer Sect. On the other hand, those whose Sword Intent was Level 3 or above would be in the Inner Sect.
Among the 90,000 Ordinary Disciples, 80% were Outer Sect disciples, which was a huge number. At the same time, because their Sword Intent was too weak, the cultivation resources that they could get were far less than the Inner Sect.
As time passed, the attitude of the upper echelons of Wanjian Pavilion towards the Outer Sect became cold. Therefore, the Technique Imparting Sect, including Yun Changqing, was mainly in charge of the Inner Sect. They rarely paid attention to the Outer Sect.
"The number of Outer Sect disciples is huge. If you want to manage them properly, you will need a lot of manpower and resources. This position is not very suitable for you." Fan Wujie's eyes flashed, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
Yun Changqing nodded repeatedly. He gave Chu Xingyun a few glances, wanting him to give up. It was too difficult to manage 70,000 disciples as soon as he entered Wanjian Pavilion. Even he could not do it.
"I have thought about this for a long time. Pavilion Master, please agree!" Chu Xingyun cupped his fists and lowered his head. His dark eyes were filled with confidence and anticipation.
