“You may leave now,” Yu Xian said indifferently as she got up and issued the order to leave.
“Huh?”
Mo Yan also stood up and explained with some panic:”Yu Xian, I really want to………………””I’ve heard everything from Ren Bin these past years,” Yu Xian coldly interrupted Mo Yan.
“Six years ago, our Huazhu Peak was severely weakened. After you took the position of the head of the sect, you just let the other twelve peaks divide Huazhu Peak among themselves.”
“What qualifications do you have now to talk about revitalizing it here?”
……
After a while of stammering, Mo Yan finally apologized weakly:”I’m sorry………………””What good does an apology do?”
Yu Xian frowned:”Can your apology bring the spiritual veins of Huazhu Peak back to life?”
“Can it bring back all the disciples who have left?”
“Can the library be restored?”
“Since you chose to remain silent at that time, you have already…………………””Alright, Yu Xian,” Ren Bin felt a chill run through his scalp and quickly interrupted.
Yu Xian, who usually had a cold personality and spoke little, was unexpectedly so aggressive at this moment.
He glanced at Mo Yan, who had already been scolded by Yu Xian to the point of not daring to lift her head.
Do you call this interaction between fellow disciples of the same sect?
Even Mo Yan’s master had never scolded her like this.
“Stop, calm down,” he said.
……
Yu Xian glanced at Ren Bin and then reluctantly turned around.
“Ahem, Yu Xian just came back not long ago. When she left, Huazhu Peak hadn’t turned into this state yet,” Ren Bin smiled and tugged at Yu Xian’s sleeve.
“Don’t be angry. Since the head of the other sect has come in person, let her speak her mind.”
Yu Xian snorted coldly and sat back down next to Ren Bin.
“Ahem, let’s have a serious talk,” Ren Bin coughed twice and asked seriously:”First of all, why do you want to revitalize Huazhu Peak?”
“After the majority of the disciples left, Huazhu Peak was almost on the verge of spiritual vein depletion and was no longer the cultivation treasure it once was.”
“To revitalize Huazhu Peak, it’s not just about reviving the spiritual veins. It also requires rebuilding the library and collecting cultivation secrets, which can’t be done overnight.”
“Just these tasks alone would consume a vast amount of resources, not to mention recruiting disciples and purchasing medicinal materials later on.”
“If we were to invest these resources into other more promising peaks, I think it would bring greater benefits to the sect,” Ren Bin tapped his fingers on the table and asked, “Can you explain why you chose Huazhu Peak?”
Mo Yan hesitated for two seconds, glanced at Yu Xian, and then slowly began to speak:”I feel very guilty about Huazhu Peak.”
“At that time, I had just taken the position of the head of the sect. The head’s power was weakened in that incident, and those old-timers were all eager to seize the position of the head.”
“I was so busy trying to protect myself that I had no time to help Huazhu Peak………………” There was actually another reason: Ren Bin at that time was just too depressed.
She had tried to communicate with him more than once, but he always made excuses to refuse.
In the end, she could only give up on Huazhu Peak with a heavy heart.
“Since you, as the head of the peak, can make a comeback and regain your strength, I think Huazhu Peak can too.”
After stating her first reason, Mo Yan looked at the expressions of the two people in front of her.
Seeing no change, she continued:”The second reason is that I hope to have a presence to………………counterbalance the other peaks.”
“Huh?”
Ren Bin was puzzled:”Why?”
“………………Because after the secrets of Huazhu Peak spread to the major peaks, most of the peaks’ strength indeed became greater than before,” Mo Yan sighed.
“For example, Xingyang Peak.”
“After gaining the benefits of Huazhu Peak, its strength has soared. The average strength of its disciples can even rank in the top three.”
The stronger peaks are like magnets, always attracting more promising new disciples.
Except for Dan Peak and Shenbing Valley, the remaining peaks are all subject to this rule.
In just six short years, Xingyang Peak’s overall strength has soared so much.
Mo Yan dared not think about what it would be like in another ten or twenty years.
“Why go through all that trouble then?”
Ren Bin interrupted her and countered:”Why not just court and strengthen the already powerful peaks?”
“I see those elders are quite obedient to you. They probably wouldn’t have any objections, right?”
“………………It’s just a show,” Mo Yan shook her head and laughed bitterly.
If the powerful peaks were really willing to obey, she wouldn’t have such troubles.
“After all, Dan Peak and Shenbing Valley are still directly under the jurisdiction of the head of the sect.”
These peaks that provide the most basic resources are under the command of the head.
They dare not disobey.
“Although they seem to obey me on the surface, in secret, Taiheng Sect has long been divided into the head’s faction and the peak head’s faction.”
“Xingyang Peak’s head, Zhang Hengyu, has always been at odds with me.”
“When I first took over as the head of the sect, there were always people stirring up trouble within the sect. The clues all pointed to him.”
Ren Bin nodded thoughtfully.
“And now, he has even broken through to the peak of Liao Xu.”
Behind him stands the patriarch of Xingyang Peak… whose strength is inestimable.
“I originally planned to court the Great Ming Peak…”Mo Yan cast a glance at Ren Bin:”The attitude of Xie Yan from the Great Ming Peak has always been indecisive.He is the son-in-law of that Gongsun Yu. I had intended to offer him some benefits to win him over.”
The underlying meaning was clear.
In essence, it was saying that Ren Bin had come out of nowhere and disrupted her plans.
“Blame me?”
Ren Bin pointed at himself.
Mo Yan had wanted to nod, but feeling the cold gaze of Yu Xian, she could only sulk and keep silent.
“……TER.”
“Originally, courting the Great Ming Peak was also a test. Xie Yan might have already made up his mind.”
Ren Bin thoughtfully rested his chin on his hand, pondering.
He wasn’t familiar with Xie Yan, having only met him a few times, but his master knew him well.
His master had once commented that he was a very ambitious and competitive person.
It was unlikely that such a person would succumb to a little benefit.
“I can allocate twenty percent of the resources from Taiheng Peak to help Huazhu Peak.”
Mo Yan bit her lip.
Even though Taiheng Peak was the main peak of the entire sect with the highest resource allocation, giving up twenty percent of the resources still hurt a bit.
After all, with the highest resource allocation, it also had the most people to support.
“Will the others on Taiheng Peak agree?”
After all, it involved the interests of the entire peak.
“The elders will agree… those old foxes understand the current situation better than I do. The original plan to try to court the Great Ming Peak was also a scheme discussed with those old guys.”
“We can use two years to accumulate resources first. With enough inventory, we can recruit disciples.”
“As long as we can recruit disciples smoothly, the spiritual veins will gradually recover.”
“Z……”Enough,” Yu Xian interrupted Mo Yan.
……
“In the final analysis, you are just a fair-weather friend, wanting to use Huazhu Peak again.
“Revitalize… huh, sounds good.”
Yu Xian narrowed her eyes, her gaze cold:”You just want to secure your own position.”
……
“Humph………… Hypocrite.”
Mo Yan wanted to retort, but Yu Xian didn’t give her a chance to speak:”If it weren’t for my senior brother showing his prowess, would you even remember Huazhu Peak?”
“What guilt? What help? In these six years, how much attention have you paid to Huazhu Peak?”
“How can you feel ashamed? Stop pretending to be innocent.”
Mo Yan’s body trembled, and a chill came over her.
She looked up in shock, and in front of her, Yu Xian’s sleeves fluttered, and the sword in her hand was covered with a layer of frost, no longer concealing her own momentum.
Peak of Liao Xu……………Another peak of Liao Xu……………..She bit her red lips, and a sourness welled up in her heart.
“I really didn’t…… I……………….She pinched her thigh, lowering her head.”
Perhaps overwhelmed by a mix of emotions, her eyes gradually became moist, and then small pearls fell.
“Ah, don’t cry.”
Ren Bin, who had been silent on the side, felt a headache coming on.
It wasn’t until he was sure that the two had calmed down a bit that he reluctantly spoke:”Both of you calm down.”
“Head of the Sect, your proposal………………. I accept it.”
Yu Xian’s figure stiffened.
Mo Yan’s choked voice stopped abruptly, and with tears in her eyes, she looked up in astonishment.
