Chapter 400: Be My Sect Leader’s Wife
Qi Huang originally wanted to enjoy the rewards alone, but unfortunately, in the evening, the Master brought several Senior Sisters to visit her home.
“Uh, there’s something I don’t know if I should say.”
Xu Mei said hesitantly.
“Master, you can say anything you want, it’s on me.”
Qi Huang said without thinking.
“Really? That’s great.”
Xu Mei was overjoyed, and then said, “You know, all your Senior Sisters have reached the Body Refining Realm. If we follow the normal selection process, they can all participate in the Evergreen Convention this year. And they all want to go to the Prefecture Capital and the Imperial Capital to broaden their horizons…”
Xu Mei stopped speaking, her meaning was self-evident.
“Yes, Junior Sister! Can we participate in the Evergreen Convention with you? We don’t want the rewards, we mainly want to see the world!”
Yun Fei, the second Senior Sister, took over, the seemingly wise woman’s eyes filled with intense longing, her pupils dotted with stars, like a well-behaved baby crying for milk.
“That’s right, Junior Sister, you don’t know, we’ve never participated in the Evergreen Convention, and we really want to try.”
Miao Xiang, the truly well-behaved baby, also grabbed Qi Huang’s hand and gently shook it.
“Only the most outstanding disciples of each sect can participate in the Evergreen Convention. Just standing on that arena is an honor. I want to try it too!”
Shen Yuan also spoke her mind directly.
Although Su Qingying, the remaining one, could not bring herself to say it, her beautiful eyes also showed strong anticipation.
“Where are you going? This Evergreen Convention is different from the past. With your meager strength, going there will only drag Junior Sister down.”
Ruan Lingyu, the Eldest Senior Sister, stopped them very rationally, after all, she had participated in the Evergreen Convention before.
After Ruan Lingyu’s reprimand, the other Senior Sisters could only weakly shut up.
“Alas!”
Qi Huang sighed helplessly. She finally realized that she had thought the problem was too simple. For geniuses, participating in the Evergreen Convention was indeed for the rewards. As for disciples with average aptitude, it might just be for the moment of pride on the stage. Winning or losing was not important. Although it seemed a bit ridiculous to the former, for them, it was a lifelong glorious event.
Cheng Hong Ling also clearly reacted, and her face also showed a hesitant expression.
“Okay, if you want to go, then go!”
Qi Huang gritted her teeth after a moment of deliberation.
“Really? Junior Sister is the best! I knew she would agree.”
Several Senior Sisters cheered and jumped with joy.
“You need to think carefully!”
Cheng Hong Ling confirmed seriously.
“I’ve thought about it. As Junior Sisters, we can’t be too selfish. They also have the right to pursue their own ideals.”
Qi Huang explained solemnly, and then said to those Senior Sisters, “However, I have to make it clear to you beforehand, I am not the Sect Leader of the HongHua Sect, so I cannot directly decide who participates and who doesn’t. If you have truly made up your minds, then you can only go through the normal selection process. Whether you can go depends on your own abilities.”
“It doesn’t matter, as long as you agree, now there are not even ten disciples in the Body Refining Realm in the HongHua Sect, we can be selected even with our eyes closed.”
Yun Fei said excitedly.
“Yes, we are only looking for you to get an opportunity to participate. The Sect Leader respects Junior Sister, so it must be with your approval.”
Shen Yuan explained.
“Alas! Why don’t you listen to advice?”
Ruan Lingyu shook her head helplessly.
“It’s okay. If we go, we don’t necessarily have to fight. If we encounter a strong opponent, you can just show your face on the stage. I’ll handle the rest.”
Qi Huang said after a little thought.
“This is a good idea. After all, the Immortal Alliance does not stipulate that participating disciples must fight.”
Cheng Hong Ling nodded in agreement.
The several Senior Sisters were also sensible good girls, so they did not raise any further objections.
Thus, the selection of Immortal Seeds for the HongHua Sect proceeded as scheduled!
After several days of matches, the results soon came out. The five Senior Sisters were indeed all selected, as well as four male disciples including Wang Zong, plus Cheng Hong Ling, making a total of ten people. As for Qi Huang, her clone naturally did not count.
Since there were many participants this time, a leader was needed for management and communication. Qi Huang, in order to control everything, naturally took on the role of team leader.
No one dared to object, as strength speaks in the cultivation world.
The HongHua Sect had just decided on the ten Immortal Seeds participating in the Evergreen Convention, but unexpectedly, a ridiculous incident occurred immediately.
This noon, Qi Huang and Cheng Hong Ling were summoned by Qin Quan for a meeting. When they arrived at the main hall, they found that the high-level figures of the sect were all present, and a young man in his twenties stood in the middle.
This young man was handsome and tall, but he always looked at people from the corner of his eyes, appearing extremely arrogant. It was not until Qi Huang and Cheng Hong Ling appeared that he finally showed emotion.
“This is Hong Ling Immortal? I thought the rumors about you were just exaggerations from the ignorant people of Yongning Prefecture. I didn’t expect you to be quite attractive.”
The young man’s face showed a look of astonishment, but his words were still arrogant.
“Who is this guy?”
Qi Huang frowned slightly.
“He said his name is Zhen Chao, a genius disciple of some sect in Xitong Country!”
Qin Quan showed a playful smile. With Cheng Hong Ling and Qi Huang there, he naturally didn’t need to take such a young upstart seriously.
“You don’t even remember the other person’s sect. Aren’t you too rude? It seems you are indeed an unqualified Sect Leader, not only in strength but also in memory!”
Zhen Chao directly attacked.
“What does he want to do?”
Cheng Hong Ling’s expression turned cold.
“He said he wants to be the guest Sect Leader of the HongHua Sect!”
Qin Quan said with a hint of amusement and helplessness.
“What? Guest Sect Leader? Can a Sect Leader be a guest?”
The surrounding high-level figures were all astonished.
“That’s right. Your HongHua Sect’s strength is weak. Without strong external help, you will definitely not go far in the next Evergreen Convention. Conversely, if I, this Immortal Elder, am the guest Sect Leader and lead you to participate in this Evergreen Convention, you will definitely be able to get the final reward.”
Zhen Chao smiled confidently.
“And then? You, this guest Sect Leader, will take the rewards and leave, leaving HongHua Sect empty of people and wealth?”
Qin Quan retorted.
“How can it be empty of people and wealth? In the Prefecture-level Evergreen Convention, as long as you enter the top ten, there are rewards. Except for the reward for the first Immortal Seed, which belongs to me, the rest are yours.”
Zhen Chao said generously.
“You’re too generous.”
Qin Quan said sarcastically.
“You guys discuss slowly, and tell me when you have a result. If you can’t reason with each other, then fight. Whoever is strong will be the Sect Leader.”
Qi Huang’s eyes moved, inciting trouble. She thought to herself that this old fellow’s strength was not good, yet he wanted to use this Immortal to get out of trouble. He really needed to be taught a lesson.
Cheng Hong Ling glanced at her clone with confusion, but said nothing more.
As for the others, because they didn’t know the background of this young man, no one dared to step forward, because everyone knew that many geniuses from outside the region had been coming to Yongning Prefecture recently, trying to lay their hands on the rewards of the Evergreen Convention.
“Hong Ling Immortal is right. Cultivation is about respecting the strong. If your strength is inferior and you cannot lead the HongHua Sect to develop and grow, then you naturally have to step down from the position of Sect Leader.”
Zhen Chao said with admiration.
“Uh…”
Qin Quan was a bit embarrassed. After struggling slightly, he said, “But Qi Huang, I told you, when I retire, the position of Sect Leader of HongHua Sect will be yours. Now if you let this kid be the Sect Leader, how long will you have to wait?”
“That makes some sense!”
Qi Huang nodded pretendingly.
“It’s okay, if you can’t be the Sect Leader, then be my Zhen Chao’s Sect Leader’s wife. It’s all the same anyway.”
Zhen Chao raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
“I’m sorry, I don’t like being someone’s subordinate, so the next Sect Leader of HongHua Sect is mine, and the final reward of the Evergreen Convention is also mine. No one can touch it. You can leave now.”
Qi Huang immediately dismissed him. Of course, she was joking just now. Putting aside the matter of the Sect Leader, if this guy occupied a qualification for the Evergreen Convention, it would mean that someone among the previously selected Immortal Seeds would be eliminated. As the saying goes, fertile water should not flow to outsiders. She did not want to see such a thing happen.
“Are you sure?”
A disdainful smile appeared on Zhen Chao’s face, and he said, “Don’t you know how many geniuses have come to Yongning Prefecture recently? I heard that your main body has just stepped into the second layer of the Huashen Realm. For the mere second layer of the Huashen Realm, this Immortal Elder can suppress you with a flip of my hand. Without helpers, how can you get the final reward?”
Cheng Hong Ling did not answer, and had already disappeared from her original spot like a ghost.
