Chapter 33
The situation of Qingxuan Sect now is like the ancient court.
The old sect leader was an emperor who did not understand the art of balance. Now the emperor is going to retreat, ignore the court affairs, and let the prince take charge of the court affairs.
The North Court is the prince party, while the South Court is the prince party that once competed for the position of prince, the East Court is the smallest prince party, and the West Court is the chief minister party that protects himself. If he does not participate in the competition for the throne, no matter who gets the throne in the end, he cannot do without them as the chief minister.
Inevitably, although the North Court won the position of crown prince, it was not yet finalized. The North Court naturally worried that the South Court would overtake on the curve and rob their position of acting sect leader.
Therefore, in order not to give the South Court the opportunity to fight back, the North Court will inevitably target the South Court everywhere during this period of time when it is in power, and will try every means to cause trouble for the South Court to weaken the South Court's strength.
Elder Dai said: "When we were competing for the position of acting sect leader, the North Court often started to attack the business we operated, which made the cultivation resources of our South Court shortage. I am afraid that now, it will only become more severe and directly cut off all the sect's support for us."
Elder Lan Shang said dejectedly: "This... is not a fear... the North Court started doing this a few days ago."
It seemed that the North Court heard the news in advance and knew that it was victorious, so it began to leave no mercy to the South Court.
The audience suddenly became silent.
This is not a trivial matter, and everyone is nervous about it.
Someone asked uneasily: "Elder Lan, can our business be sustained?"
"It's okay." Elder Lan Shang smiled bitterly.
When everyone saw Elder Lan Shang's reaction, their hearts were shocked again.
Obviously, Elder Lan Shang can barely support it now, but he has no confidence to stabilize the future.
If this continues, it will probably not take long before the South Academy’s cultivation resources will be insufficient.
Suddenly, someone muttered: "Elder Dai, didn't you accept a disciple who was proficient in business not long ago? Why not let this disciple be the assistant of Elder Lan Shang?"
At this time, there was a case about Su Honghao helping Mu Xiaoyue become a disciple of Qingxuan Sect, which was spread only within the Mu and Su families. After all, the matter is not about yourself. How can outsiders have free time to inquire about the details and gossip about this matter?
Because of this, these elders didn't know that Su Honghao was the only one who did business was Mu Xiaoyue himself.
Another elder immediately echoed, "Well, this is a good idea."
Elder Dai nodded: "Okay, I'll call her over."
Elder Lan Shang thought of Mu Xiaoyue's girl movie that had no respect for him, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, but when he saw the eyes of others, he had to nod and said, "Okay..."
…………
A moment later, Mu Xiaoyue was taken to the hall in a daze, looking at the elders in a daze.
She came here and no one told her the reason in advance.
After she greeted the elders, she stood obediently in the hall like a sapling.
Elder Dai said, "Yue'er, I'll call you here today, and I'm going to have a task for you."
"The disciple must do his best."
So Elder Dai told the whole story.
The more Mu Xiaoyue listened, the more he became more and more anxious.
The master wanted to be the assistant of Elder Lan Shang himself, but... how could he do business?
Do you have to tell the truth?
But in this case, can my personal disciple still be kept?
She hesitated and didn't know how to answer. Elder Dai thought she was unwilling to do so, so he wondered, "What's wrong, disciple? Didn't you just say that you would give your all?"
Before he knew it, his name for Mu Xiaoyue had changed.
Mu Xiaoyue lowered her head and said with a thorny forehead: "Report to Master, this is not something that the disciple does not want to do, but that the disciple is really powerless. In fact... in fact, the disciple has no talent for business at all. It is because someone gives advice to the disciple so that the disciple can achieve previous results."
After saying that, she had already knelt down and kowtowed to Elder Dai to apologize.
However.
Elder Dai was not angry.
He has lived for so long and has long been used to seeing all kinds of people. It is not shameful for those who use the power of others to achieve their own careers. What is shameful is that he dare not speak out, but instead shows off his power everywhere, which eventually leads to failure.
Therefore, seeing that Mu Xiaoyue was able to admit it actively, he admired Mu Xiaoyue's character even more.
But when Elder Lan Shang heard this, he was immediately angry.
Wei Shengsu said before that he is a stubborn person. Such people often adhere to the idea that right is right and wrong is wrong. There is rarely an intermediate value in this kind of person's concept. Therefore, when he heard Mu Xiaoyue admit that he had made a fake, he labeled Mu Xiaoyue various bad labels.
"How dare you commit fraud and deceive elders, what crime should you be punished?" Elder Lan Shang shouted violently.
Mu Xiaoyue's little heart was almost frightened.
It is okay to kneel down and admit your mistakes, because this is just a normal process after doing the wrong thing, but if you yell at me, it’s your fault.
Don't you know I'm still a child?
What should I do if I get a psychological shadow in my fright?
She looked aggrieved and said, "The disciple did not do it on purpose."
"Ha? It's not intentional? It's obviously you who came over to make a bet with me, and you said you didn't mean it?"
"But when I bet with you, I said that I would use business methods to increase the principal by ten times, but I didn't say I couldn't ask for help."
The more Mu Xiaoyue said, the more she felt something was wrong. When she thought about it carefully, she seemed to be right at all?
Say you are cheating? Say you are cheating on the elders? But when both sides are betting, there are not so many restrictions? You obviously do what you do according to the betting requirements, so why do you become cheating on the elders?
But now she has knelt down and wants to stand up again, she is not as shameless as Su Honghao.
So she glared at Elder Lan Shang angrily, as if Elder Lan Shang had done something wrong.
Seeing her expression, Elder Lan Shang was so angry that he couldn't find any words to refute, and Elder Dai couldn't help but be happy.
He smiled and said, "Okay, get up. You don't blame me for your sins. But you must atone for your merits and tell me who has given you advice, so that my teacher knows who this is."
