The Turmoil Surrounding the Position of the Headmaster

That night.

The main hall of Chongyang Palace was brightly lit and filled with guests.

It was the first time that Mount Zhongnan was so lively at night because Ren Daofang, the head of the Quanzhen Sect who had not been seen for many years, suddenly showed up and set up a dinner party, inviting some guests from the mountain and the countryside, saying that he had something important to announce.

Among the guests at the banquet, in addition to the masters of many Taoist temples in Mount Zhongnan, there were also some hermit representatives from several hermit villages, including Bi Ru Nianxin's family.

It was already half past eight in the evening, and the headmaster Ren Daofang had not arrived yet, and even the guests at his table were nowhere to be seen.

Only the chief disciple Yue Danchen, the Taoist priest with thick eyebrows, was receiving guests in the hall, and from time to time he spoke to appease those impatient guests.

"The headmaster is here!"

"A distinguished guest has arrived!"

Just when some people were getting impatient, someone outside the hall suddenly shouted loudly.

The guests in the hall couldn't help but turn their heads to look towards the source of the voice.

The headmaster Ren Daofang walked slowly and respectfully into the hall with Xia Tian and a few others.

This scene actually frightened the confused guests, and they began to guess the identities of Xia Tian and his companions.

"Who are they, and why is Master Ren so polite to them?"

"I don't know, maybe he's some big shot?"

"An old man, plus three young people, one man and two women. They are not considered big shots."

"If it weren't for the noble man, how could Master Ren be so respectful?"

"It's really strange. Sect Leader Ren hasn't shown up for so many years, so what is he up to now?"

“…”

Some of them would ask Yue Danchen questions in a low voice from time to time, but the Taoist with thick eyebrows had been instructed not to reveal Xia Tian and the others' identities without permission, so he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Master Ren arranged Xia Tian and the others to sit at the most honorable seats, and even sat at the last seat himself. This inevitably made the guests a little nervous, and they all thought in their hearts: Master Ren is a little too polite.

"I'm sure everyone is curious about who these people are and why I respect them so much." Master Ren narrowed his eyes slightly and said to the guests with a smile, "I'd like to introduce them to you first. This is Zhang Mingtuo, the ghost doctor who was famous all over the world back then. This is his apprentice, Xia Tian, ​​the world's number one genius doctor. These two girls are Miss Ning Ruirui and Miss Shi Chunshi."

After this introduction, all the guests couldn't help but show astonishment. You know, they are all older. Although they don't know who Xia Tian is, they have all heard of Zhang Mingtuo's great name. For a moment, they felt more and more strange. Why is the ghost doctor in Zhongnan Mountain and a guest of Chongyang Palace?

"They are all great benefactors of my Chongyang Palace, and also great benefactors of the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers of Zhongnan Mountain." Master Ren thought of his past experiences and said with deep emotion: "If it weren't for them, I'm afraid I would have died, Chongyang Palace would inevitably decline, and the thousands of miles of Zhongnan Mountain would no longer have green mountains and clear waters."

The guests listened to the master's increasingly mysterious talk, and were completely confused and didn't know how to react.

Zhang Mingtuo felt that Master Ren was making a big deal out of nothing, so he said calmly, "Brother Ren, please be more casual. How can we eat if you make it so serious?"

"Okay." Master Ren chuckled twice, raised his head and said to all the guests, "Don't be so reserved, just be yourself. This is not a formal banquet. I just haven't shown up for a long time, so I'm just inviting everyone to a meal and making some acquaintances."

After hearing this, many people really felt relieved. They were afraid that this Master Ren would suddenly show up to settle accounts after not showing up for a long time. After all, they had already distributed various benefits during the time when Master Ren was not in charge.

In fact, Master Ren really had no intention of starting a war. Although he had discovered that many things were out of his control when he was dealing with some mundane affairs just now, he never liked to abuse power, so he did not get angry about it, and he had no intention of settling accounts now.

"Just eat, there's no need to talk so much nonsense." Xia Tian didn't bother with all the beating around the bush and started eating without waiting for Master Ren to finish his words.

"Mr. Xia is absolutely right. I won't waste any more words. Let's get the dinner started." Master Ren wanted to say something else, but Xia Tian interrupted him and he stopped talking. "Everyone, just be at your leisure and let's eat."

The guests all found it incredible. When did Master Ren become so easy-going? And he was too nice to the young man.

There were many doubts, but unfortunately there was no one to help them answer them, so they had to finish the meal first. But if they just ate, the dinner would be over very quickly, and it felt like it was coming to an end in less than half an hour, which made the guests who often attended banquets a little uncomfortable.

"Master Ren, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to go through all this trouble." As expected, someone lost his patience and put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked.

Many others had the same idea and responded one after another: "Yes, even if we did something wrong, you can criticize us."

"If you don't explain clearly, I won't be able to eat in peace."

“…”

Master Ren didn't expect that these guests would lose their temper so quickly, and couldn't help laughing: "I really don't have any other intentions, I just have been in seclusion for these years to practice, and finally came out, so I thought of treating everyone to a meal, that's all, don't think too much."

"I can't help but think about this." One of the Taoist priests with a full beard and purple crown stood up, "Master Ren, you haven't shown up for many years, and suddenly you show up and invite me to a banquet, but you don't tell me the specific reason. Do you think we can eat it?"

"Yes, we are really uncomfortable with such hospitality for no reason."

Master Ren sighed and said slowly, "Actually, there is no special reason. I just want to tell you something. I was planning to tell you after dinner, but since you guys are asking, I'll tell you first."

"Sure enough, there is still something to talk about." The guests were relieved to hear this.

"My real name is Ren Hao, my Dharma name is Dao Fang, I became a monk when I was young, and have been practicing in Mount Zhongnan." Master Ren couldn't help but stand up, looking at everyone, and said slowly: "I have lived for 72 years. My talent is ordinary, and my cultivation is not high. I can't compare with the brothers and sisters at that time, but Brother Lu still passed the position of master to me."

The guests were more and more confused when they heard Master Ren start to talk about his life. What on earth was he trying to say? It was not easy to interrupt Master Ren at this time, so they could only listen quietly.

"Ever since I took over the position of the headmaster, I have been feeling uneasy and treading on thin ice, fearing that one wrong step would bring discredit to Mount Zhongnan and Chongyang Palace." Headmaster Ren might have been really depressed underground, as he went around in circles but still didn't get to the point.

Xia Tian was getting a little impatient and urged, "Master Ren, just say whatever you want to say and stop talking nonsense. I still want to rest early with the long-legged girl."

Ning Ruirui hit Xia Tian in a humiliated and angry manner, and cursed in a low voice: "Don't say such things in public, I still want you to be shameless."

"What's the big deal? It's the truth." Xia Tian looked disapproving.

"I don't want to bother with you!" Ning Ruirui glared at Xia Tian and warned him softly, "Anyway, don't say that anymore."

"Mr. Xia, don't worry, I'll tell you soon." Master Ren really respected Xia Tian and was reluctant to disobey him. He smiled and comforted him, then said, "Back then, both Master and Senior Brother said when passing on the throne that the position of Master of Chongyang Palace was of great importance. It not only manages the thousands of miles of Zhongnan Mountain, but also helps the scattered cultivators in the world, so it pays more attention to virtue rather than talent. If there is no virtue, even if there is natural talent, the position of Master of Chongyang Palace cannot be passed on. On the contrary, if you meet someone with great virtue, even if he is not from Chongyang Palace, you can pass on the throne."

This finally got to the point. Not only did the guests sense something was going on, but the Taoist priest with thick eyebrows even had sweat on his palms. He had clearly anticipated what Master Ren wanted to say, and his body was shaking slightly.

"Today, I met a truly virtuous person, that is the divine doctor Xia Tian." Master Ren pointed at Xia Tian with a sincere face, "He has nothing to do with my Zhongnan Mountain, but he saved my life and risked his life to repair the thousands of miles of spiritual veins in Zhongnan Mountain, which is equivalent to saving your lives. I think this kind of virtuous person is the best candidate for the head of Chongyang Palace. I have decided to..."

"Stop, stop!" Xia Tian also heard what Master Ren was trying to do, and said unhappily, "Master Ren, you want to be beaten, right? I'm not interested in your position of Master. You can pass it on to anyone, just don't bother me."

Master Ren said very solemnly: "Master Xia, you are indeed the best choice for the master. Only under your leadership can Zhongnan Mountain regain its former glory, protect the interests of the world's independent cultivators, and even lead..."

夏天再次打断任掌教的话，撇撇嘴道：“我对你说得这些都不感兴趣，你爱谁谁，总之别扯上我，不然我就揍你了。”

"The position of Chongyang Palace's headmaster is like a carrot that can't even be given away. It's really ridiculous." At this time, a rather sharp voice sounded in the crowd, "In my opinion, it's better to pass it to the dog at the door. Maybe it's more suitable. Hahahaha."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person who was speaking was a Taoist priest in a red robe. He looked young, but had an arrogant look, as if he didn't take anyone seriously.

"Hey, isn't that the liar Taoist Hongyang whom I met during the day?" Shi Chun recognized him at a glance. "I even pushed him, but nothing happened to him. It seems he is not a simple man."

“Who are you? Why are you speaking foul language and insulting Chongyang Palace?” The thick-browed Taoist priest was already a little angry, but he couldn’t get angry with Master Ren and Xia Tian. When he saw someone making trouble, he immediately rushed over and shouted angrily, “Apologize quickly, or don’t blame me for kicking you out!”

"What? You won't even let me speak?" The red-robed Taoist couldn't help but sneer and said arrogantly, "My name is Hong Shenghuo, and my Taoist name is Hongyang. Back then, even your ancestor Wang Chongyang didn't dare to talk to me like this, but you disciples are so arrogant."
