"Go back on your words?" Tang Susu scolded, "Is this how you talk to your elders?"
Song Yanqing couldn't hold back his anger. He shook his head and said, "I can't figure it out!" After saying that, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging, "This disciple really likes Senior Sister Tang. If I go against my heart in the slightest, I'll be struck by lightning. Elder, please help this disciple!"
Tang Susu let him kowtow a few times. Then she looked down at him and said, "It's not impossible to help you. Are you willing to be the head of the Sect? As long as you agree to be the head of the Sect, I will let Tang Yi marry you without any consideration for Niu Youdao. What do you think? "
"This …" Song Yanqing raised his head. His mouth twitched. He had thought about it before, but his father had warned him that the relationship between the Sect and King Ning and Shang Jianbo was not clear. It was easy to arouse the emperor's fear. The Song family was in a high position, so he couldn't touch this position.
He could tell which was more important. Besides, with his family background, it was not worthwhile for him to take advantage of this. Why should he make trouble for himself?
"My ability is limited. I can't bear this heavy responsibility." Song Yanqing bowed his head and said weakly.
Tang Susu said calmly, "In this case, you might as well try to persuade your father. As long as he is willing to take over the position of the head of the Sect, I will also let Tang Yi marry you."
"How can a son decide my father's business?" Song Yanqing replied with a guilty conscience. He couldn't be the head of the sect, so his father couldn't touch this position. How could he not understand this?
Tang Susu's eyes flashed, "Well, I won't force you and your father to do this. Let me ask you again. Do you want Tang Yi to be the head of the sect? "
Song Yanqing suddenly raised his head and said eagerly, "Of course, disciple hopes that Senior Martial Sister can be the Sect Leader. If Senior Martial Sister can be the Sect Leader, disciple will be extremely happy."
Tang Susu secretly curses him for being an idiot. You and your son are not willing to touch this position. How can the Song family allow you to marry the head of the Shangqing Sect? From the moment we decided to let Tang Yi inherit the position of Sect Leader, you were destined to have no fate with Tang Yi!
However, she still asked patiently, "Before Sect Master Tang Mu passed away, he appointed Dongguo Haoran as his successor. Now that Dongguo Haoran has also passed away, according to the rules of the sect, who should take over the position of Sect Master?"
"This …" Song Yanqing hesitated for a while and reluctantly spat out a name. "Niu Youdao!" Then he argued, "But Niu Youdao has taken the initiative to give up the position of Sect Leader!"
Tang Susu said, "I don't think I need to say more. Everyone is well aware of how he gave up. They didn't say anything because they knew that he was not suitable to be the head of the Shangqing Sect. In this way, who else in the Shanghai Sect has the prestige to take charge of the Shanghai Sect? Everyone is optimistic about the background of you and your son. They hope that you and your son can come forward to lead the revitalization of the Shanghai Sect. But due to some reasons, you and your son are not willing to take over. The three of us old guys do have the prestige, but the Shanghai Sect has its own rules to balance us old guys. Those who have retired from the position of Elder are not allowed to take over the position of Sect Leader. Originally, Wei Duo is the most suitable, but he is a stutterer. If he becomes the Sect Leader, people will only laugh at the Shangqing Sect for having no capable people. Moreover, Wei Duo is stubborn and stubborn. He stubbornly refused to let go of Sect Leader Tang's will. He said that once the rules are broken, it will be the beginning of a disaster. He kept talking nonsense, so we had no choice but to punish him by sending him to the back mountain to reflect on his mistakes! What about the others? Niu Youdao gave up in that situation. No one is willing to take the blame. Everyone is wise and prudent! "
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but secretly sigh. In the final analysis, it was because the Shangqing Sect had declined and was in a precarious situation. The future was full of crises, so it was not easy to be the leader. If it was in the prosperous period, there would be a lot of people who would be willing to take the lead and fight to be the Sect Leader.
Song Yanqing said, "That's why I think Senior Sister is the most suitable to take over!"
Tang Susu said, "Tang Yi is the Sect Leader's daughter. At this critical moment, if she doesn't come out to shoulder the heavy responsibility, who will? But how did she get this position? All the disciples in the Inner Sect are well aware of it. How can she convince everyone? How can she prove that Tang Yi didn't do it out of selfishness? If she wants to bear this responsibility, she must pay the price. Do you think she is willing to marry Niu Youdao? If she wants to take this position, she must give Niu Youdao an explanation. She sacrificed herself to give the Shangqing Sect an explanation. Do you understand? "
Saying this, she took out a letter from her sleeve and threw it in front of Song Yanqing's kneeling knees. "This is a letter from your father from the capital. You can read it yourself."
Although Song Shu was her disciple, there were some things in the Shanghai Sect that needed to be communicated with Song Shu and asked for his opinion. It was related to the Song family's support for the Shanghai Sect, so she had to do it. And Song Shu's reply was also in favor of Tang Yi taking over as the Sect Leader.
Song Yanqing picked up the letter and opened it. He suddenly looked sad. His father, Song Shu, strictly warned him not to have any improper thoughts and to listen to Tang Susu's discipline. Otherwise, he would be severely punished.
Seeing this letter, Song Yanqing completely collapsed to the ground. He was sad and his heart was bleeding …
After sending Song Yanqing away, Tang Susu went to the back courtyard and saw Luo Yuangong and Su Po sitting in the pavilion playing chess.
Seeing her coming, they stopped. Luo Yuangong looked at her and asked, "Have you comforted the Song family?"
Tang Susu glanced at the result on the chessboard and said, "I just sent Song Yanqing away. As long as Song Shu has no objection, it represents the Song family's attitude. Everything will be easy. The problem now is that Song Yanqing is very emotional. He can't tolerate being taken advantage of by Niu Youdao. This hedonistic son might not dare to do it openly, but who knows what he might do to Niu Youdao in the dark. In short, the matter is about to be settled. Niu Youdao must not be harmed at this time. If something really happens, none of us will be able to answer to the disciples. When that time comes, Tang Yi won't be able to explain herself even if she has a hundred mouths. Everyone will suspect her of being the culprit, and there will be endless troubles in the future. Senior Martial Brother Su, I still need you to arrange reliable people to take care of this matter. We can't let Song Yanqing control the Peach Blossom Spring anymore! "
"Yes!" Luo Yuangong also nodded at Su Po to show his agreement.
Su Po didn't say anything. He silently got up and left.
Tang Susu watched him leave. Her gaze was steady and firm. In order to help Tang Yi clear all the obstacles and ascend to the throne, she had put in a lot of effort. Her husband died for the Shangqing Sect, her son died for the Shangqing Sect, and now her nephew died for the Shangqing Sect. Her family had sacrificed too much for the Shangqing Sect. She had already regarded the Shanghai Sect as her family business to protect …
"I am Tuján! From today onwards, I will take care of your daily life. "
In the Peach Blossom Spring, Chen Guishuo and Xu Yitian were gone. A strong man with one eye and a crutch appeared in front of Niu Youdao and introduced himself. His voice was hoarse and dull, and his throat seemed to be damaged. If one looked closely, one could see that there was a scar on his neck, and it seemed that his vocal cords were damaged.
Niu Youdao couldn't help but size up this lame man with a crutch. His skin was dark, and he had a long beard. It was unknown if it was because of the scar on his face, but his face looked a little ferocious. It was the kind of face that could scare children to tears.
"Thank you!" Niu Youdao politely took the food box from the other party's hand.
Tuján asked again, "Is there anything else?"
Niu Youdao tried to ask, "Why did you change the person?" He was worried that Song Yanqing would harm him. Was it Song Yanqing's idea to change the person at this time?
Hearing this question, Tuján didn't say anything. He turned around and walked away with the crutch.
Niu Youdao was speechless. It seemed that he had met another person who didn't want to talk to him.
A few days later, the Peach Blossom Spring began to be decorated with lanterns and streamers. A group of disciples of the Shangqing Sect were busy inside and outside the Peach Blossom Spring, preparing for the auspicious day in two days.
Song Yanqing, who was standing on another cliff and looking into the distance, was burning with jealousy. For Tang Yi, he had been guarding this wilderness for so many years. Just when he was about to eat the meat in his mouth, someone suddenly intervened and snatched it away. If it was a disciple of a famous sect, he would accept it. But it was a country bumpkin. How could he bear it?
Would he have to watch them bow to heaven and earth and get married? The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't bear it. Finally, he turned around and went down the mountain.
The time to deliver the food box to the Peach Blossom Spring was regular. A disciple carrying the food box had just crossed a wooden bridge when he was stopped by Xu Yitian and Chen Guishuo who were coming out.
"Two Senior Martial Brothers, the higher-ups have ordered us not to bother you with the food delivery anymore." The disciple said politely. Previously, these two people had been taking turns to deliver the food to the Peach Blossom Spring for a long time. He had misunderstood.
Song Yanqing turned around from behind a rock, walked in front of the disciple and stretched out his hand, "Give it to me. I'll check it."
"This …" The disciple was somewhat embarrassed.
Song Yanqing directly reached out and grabbed the food box. He turned around and walked behind the rock.
"Brother Song …" The disciple was somewhat anxious to follow, but he was blocked by Xu Yitian and Chen Guishuo at the same time. He wanted to say something but hesitated. He didn't dare to offend Song Yanqing. Everyone in the Shanghai Sect knew Song Yanqing's background. Even the elders were afraid of him. How could he dare to provoke him?
Fortunately, Song Yanqing seemed to just casually check it. Soon, he came out from behind the rock. He returned the food box and waved his hand to drive the disciple away. "I've seen it. There's no problem. Send it over!"
The disciple carried the food box and left.
However, he was still a bit worried. After walking far away, he found a place with his back to people and opened the food box. Seeing that the food inside was intact, he was relieved.
He went all the way to the hillside of the Peach Blossom Spring. There was a stone cave where Tuján temporarily lived. After handing the food box to Tuján, the disciple went back.
Tuján opened the food box and took out a silver hairpin. He dipped it into a porcelain bottle and inserted it into the food to check it one by one. As a result, when he pulled out the silver hairpin, he immediately saw that the place where the food was inserted had turned black.
Someone poisoned it! Tuján's face changed dramatically. His somewhat ferocious face became even more ferocious. In a flash, he appeared outside the cave. He directly jumped down from the cliff which was nearly twenty feet high and blocked the road down the mountain. He just happened to block the disciple who delivered the food. He grabbed the disciple's clothes and said in a deep voice, "Did anything happen on the way here?"
The disciple was shocked. He didn't know what happened. After being repeatedly pushed and pushed, he had no choice but to tell the situation where he met Song Yanqing on the way here.
