Chapter 1356 The dust has settled
Zha Youliang showed the signed documents to Xiahou Mulan. After reading them, Xiahou Mulan gave them to Zha Youliang to keep.
Zha Youliang said: "Sect Master, I will inform the whole sect of this matter as soon as possible. We discussed it and selected a few times to prepare to hold a meeting of the tired sect and hold the sect leader's enthronement ceremony."
Xiahou Mulan said calmly: "No, since the procedures have been completed, it means that I am already the leader of the Weary Sect. There is no need to hold any ceremony, just make an announcement."
Zhai Pingqing said: "The words of the sect master are wrong. The sect master's enthronement is a major event for the whole family to celebrate together. How can we be so hasty?"
Xiahou Mulan said: "Elder Zhai doesn't need to say anything, I have already made up my mind."
Zhai Pingqing felt depressed inside. The acting sect master and the sect master were just different. Xiahou Mulan didn't seem to be as polite to him as before. In fact, this is not only because Xiahou Mulan has officially become the sect leader, but also because Xiahou Mulan has overpowered him in business. Zhai Pingqing was defeated and left Pinghai and it was Xiahou Mulan who took over. Although he sacrificed some of his interests, he at least escaped unscathed. , from this point of view, it was Xiahou Mulan who came to his rescue.
Xiahou Mulan said: "I don't like to make any formalities. The position of the leader of the sect makes me sincerely afraid. I know that my qualifications are still young and my cultivation is not enough. However, it is hard to violate my father's name. The tired sect in front of me is full of troubles, so I have no choice but to come out reluctantly." If I meet someone more capable of taking on this responsibility, I will take the initiative to step in. ”
Zhai Ping Qingxin said that I am far superior to you in terms of experience and ability. Why don't you give up the position of sect leader to me? Who doesn't know how to say nice things? It's just superficial. The reason why you, Xiahou Mulan, became the head of the sect is because you relied on Xu Chunliang's help?
Cao Bingyi said: "The sect master's upright character is really a blessing to us."
Zha Youliang said: "Since the sect master has made a decision, we can only obey it."
Huang Wanglin nodded: "Just do as the Sect Master said. Sect Master, I have one more thing to report to you."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Elder Huang, just say whatever you want."
Huang Wanglin said: "It's like this. I'm getting old and I'm gradually losing my energy to handle affairs. Although the sect leader has entrusted me with important tasks, I am no longer able to shoulder the responsibility, so I formally resign to the sect leader as an elder."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Elder Huang, why should we act too hastily?"
Huang Wanglin said: "If we want to revitalize the tired family, we can't rely on old people like me. We must let capable people take over."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Elder Huang is fair in dealing with matters and has high moral character and respect. I can't think of anyone else who can take your place."
Zha Youliang said: "I do have a candidate in mind."
Everyone turned their attention to him, and Zha Youliang said: "The person I'm talking about was born in the tired family. Her family members are also veterans of the tired family. She is Liang Wenjing."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Liang Wenjing? Are you talking about the president of Enheng Pharmaceutical?"
Zha Youliang nodded and said: "Exactly, Liang Wenjing is not only the president of Enheng Pharmaceutical, her father Liang Baichuan was once one of the two guardians of the tired sect, and he was also the most loyal supporter of the old sect leader. Later, the sect leader The Lord canceled the position of protector. Liang Baichuan could have been selected as one of the four elders, but he refused on his own initiative. Elder Huang should know this. "
Huang Wanglin nodded: "It is true, but Liang Baichuan has been missing for many years. I don't know this Liang Wenjing."
Cao Bingyi said: "She doesn't seem to be from the tired family."
Zha Youliang said: "It has always been the case. She is one of the eight hall masters. Liang Baichuan is her introducer. The old sect master personally agreed. However, after Liang Baichuan disappeared, she rarely participated in the activities of the tired sect. Of course, this It has something to do with the actual situation in recent years.”
Everyone understood what Zha Youliang was referring to in terms of the actual situation. Xiahou Zun had been in seclusion all year round, and most of his external affairs were left to Xiahou Mulan. Because Xiahou Mulan was young and could not legitimately inherit the position of the sect leader, it was difficult to convince the public and tired. The sect has long been in disarray, and those with certain strength are all working on their own. Even the four elders are concentrating on developing their own careers. If it is not called by the sect leader, they rarely come together, let alone others.
Now that Xiahou Zun has completely retired and Xiahou Mulan has officially taken over, where the tired sect will go in the future depends on the ability and courage of the new sect leader. However, the four elders are not optimistic about the future of the tired sect. Times have changed. Now, the era in which the sect masters raised their arms and shouted for a hundred responses has long passed.
Even though everyone has reached a consensus and unanimously elected Xiahou Mulan to be the leader of the sect, everyone has their own plans in private. Huang Wanglin chose to retire. His real intention was to slowly draw a clear line between himself and Kumen. This was also the reason why he did not let his son Huang Gongxian join Kumen. The rules of the world had changed, and Huang Wanglin did not want his family to be trapped by Kumen again.
As for Zhai Pingqing's current recognition of Xiahou Mulan's status, it is only a temporary measure. He originally had the idea of resigning as elder, but after learning that Huang Wanglin resigned, he changed his mind. He also wanted to see where Xiahou Mulan would go under the leadership of Xiahou Mulan. Development, to put it bluntly, is just with the idea of watching a joke.
Cao Bingyi was subdued by Xu Chunliang and Xiahou Mulan. The reason why he supported Xiahou Mulan was his interests. Recently, he not only received business help, but also obtained the position of elder.
Zha Youliang obtained the position of elder through inheritance. His father, Zha Enxuan, used to be one of the four elders of the Kumen. He quit early due to his physical condition and strongly recommended his son to take over his position as the law enforcement elder. Of course, after Zha Youliang became an elder, He behaved quite well, especially in his unswerving support for Xiahou Mulan, who was also quite satisfied and respected by him.
Zhai Pingqing smiled and said: "I remembered what Elder Zha said. You and Liang Wenjing's father are both veterans of our tired family, and they can be regarded as the leaders of the second generation." As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Xiahou Mulan, and the meaning was obvious. However, you, Xiahou Mulan, are also a tired second generation.
Huang Wanglin secretly thought to himself that Zhai Pingqing's words were not bad. If he let his son join the Kumen, I am afraid that the Kumen would have another second generation in power. The world is advancing with the times, and the Kumen is not exempt from the vulgarity.
Zha Youliang said: "As the president of Enheng Pharmaceuticals, Liang Wenjing's strength is obvious to all. As the saying goes, you should not avoid relatives when making recommendations. We are proud of our parents and we regard our family as our home. I can say that our feelings for our family are the most important." Much deeper than ordinary people." A strange smile appeared on Zhai Pingqing's lips. Why didn't he find Cha Youliang so eloquent in the past?
Xiahou Mulan said: "I have seen Liang Wenjing, but I didn't have a deep impression. Since Elder Zha proposed it, he can be included in the investigation object." Her eyes turned to Huang Wanglin again: "Elder Huang, I hope you will think about it again. "
Huang Wanglin said: "Actually, I have made this decision since my son's accident. The reason why I waited until now to say it is because I am worried about the negative impact. Thank you to the master for retaining me. Huang is really unable to do what he wants."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Since Elder Huang has made up his mind, I can't force him to stay. Once the candidate for the new elder is determined, you will retire with success."
Huang Wanglin cupped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, Master."
Xiahou Mulan determined the time for the next elders' meeting and announced the adjournment of the meeting.
After the others left, Xiahou Mulan asked Huang Wanglin, "What was the relationship between Cha Youliang and Liang Wenjing in the past?"
Huang Wanglin said: "I don't know about this, but Zha Enxuan and Liang Baichuan have always had a good relationship."
Xiahou Mulan frowned slightly and said, "In this case, the two of them can be regarded as family friends."
Huang Wanglin nodded.
Xiahou Mulan said: "Do you remember that I have an uncle named Cao Xinwei?"
Huang Wanglin said: "Isn't he already dead?"
Xiahou Mulan secretly sighed in her heart. Everyone thought that Cao Xinwei was dead a long time ago, but in fact, Cao Xinwei killed his biological parents and pretended to be the leader of the Weary Sect. This man had done so many bad things. The reason why he took over as the leader was The position is to cover up this shocking secret.
Xiahou Mulan nodded: "Cao Xinwei's uncle is Liang Baichuan."
Huang Wanglin said: "I remembered what you said. Yes, Liang Baichuan is his uncle. Back then, because Liang Baichuan had contributed to the tired family, the owner of the family also gave a half-sold and half-gift reward to a pharmaceutical factory in Haizhou. He was the predecessor of Enheng Pharmaceutical, and it was also when the Liang family and his daughter made their fortune.”
Xiahou Mulan said: "Although Liang Wenjing has the status of a hall leader, she has not made much contribution to the tired sect over the years. Her ability is indeed qualified to serve as an elder, but judging from her contribution to the tired sect, I’m afraid it’s hard to convince the public.”
Huang Wanglin said: "Since the sect master feels it is inappropriate, just cross her off the list."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Elder Huang, do you really not think about it anymore?"
Huang Wanglin said: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that my body doesn't allow it."
Xiahou Mulan said: "Have you ever considered letting your son inherit your business?"
This was tantamount to a formal invitation to Huang Gongxian. Huang Wanglin bowed his hands and said, "Huang is so grateful for the sect master's kindness, but my son has no ambitions here. Moreover, he has never joined the tired sect and has not made any achievements, so why bother making people gossip."
Xiahou Mulan sighed softly and said, "Elder Huang, I understand what you mean."
Huang Wanglin lowered his head and said, "I am disappointed with the sect master."
Xiahou Mulan said: "There is nothing to be disappointed. Everyone has his own ambitions. I will not force anyone. Although there are many people in the tired sect, there are only a few who are truly capable and prestigious. Elder Huang has withdrawn, and there are no trustworthy people." One less."
Huang Wanglin said: "Elder Zha is loyal and loyal. This person can be trusted."
Xiahou Mulan didn't say anything. She also trusted Zha Youliang in the past, but now Zha Youliang recommended Liang Wenjing, which gave her some ideas. Nothing would happen for no reason.
Huang Wanglin said: "Actually, I also have a recommendation for the elder."
"Oh? Tell me."
Huang Wanglin said: "Xu Chunliang's ability is sufficient for the job."
