Chapter 313 - New Sect Leader
Although Ling Xiao had brought out Feng Qingyang's big name, he realized that Ning Zhongze still had a worried expression on his face.
"Lady Ning, is there anything else you're worried about?" Ling Xiao asked.
Ning Zhong nodded, and then said, "Let's let Shan'er return to her room to rest first. Let's sit down and talk, it's not too convenient for us to stand here all the time."
Ling Xiao looked at Yue Lingshan who was still working on her walking, and saw beads of perspiration trickling down her forehead. She should be tired.
"Alright, let's talk inside." Ling Xiao nodded and helped Yue Lingshan into the room.
Afterward, the two of them went into the hall and sat down face to face.
"Lady Ning, what do you have to say? Speak." Ling Xiao poured a cup of tea-water for Ning Zhongze and said.
Ning Zhongze muttered to himself for a moment, then raised his head to look at Ling Xiao and said: "Gongzi Ling, the repair work on the Huashan Mountain is currently in full swing, and it won't be long before everything will return to how it was before. It's just that the current Huashan Mountain has no leader, and needs a new leader."
After hearing this, Ling Xiao understood why Ning Zhongze was looking for him to talk.
Ning Zhong should have discussed it with the senior elders of the Huashan Mountain at the foot of the mountain, and in the end agreed that Ling Xiao was the most suitable candidate.
Only, Ling Xiao could not so easily agree to it, because he was temporarily not prepared to do so.
"Lady Ning, I understand your choice, and I thank you for your trust in me. However, this matter is extremely important, it cannot be so easily decided." Ling Xiao tactfully rejected her.
Hearing this, Ning Zhongze's expression immediately turned anxious. "Gongzi Ling, if you have any requests, you can ask for them all. I believe that the disciples of Huashan Mountain would really wish for you to become the new Sect Leader."
"Lady Ning, didn't we receive Master Feng Qingyang's letter? We should wait for him to come back, then make the decision." Ling Xiao laughed faintly.
Seeing Ling Xiao's attitude, it seemed that he didn't want to continue anymore. He helplessly sighed, while Ning Zhong nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll have to wait until Senior Master Feng Qingyang comes."
After that, Ling Xiao got up and said: "Lady Ning, Shan'er's injuries have almost recovered, all that is left is to train on time, it's time for me to return."
"Is he leaving now?" When Ning Zhongze heard this, he stood up and asked.
Ling Xiao laughed: "Of course not, I still have to greet Shan'er."
Ning Zhong nodded and watched Ling Xiao enter the room, then bid him farewell.
After Ling Xiao left, Ning Zhong came in front of Yue Lingshan and sat on the edge of the bed, smiling at him.
Seeing the look in Ning Zhongze's eyes, Yue Lingshan said somewhat embarrassedly, "mother, why are you looking at me like that?"
"I saw that you got along pretty well with Gongzi Ling during this half month." Ning Zhongze smiled meaningfully.
Hearing this, Yue Lingshan's face reddened, and she muttered: "Not bad, not bad at all."
"Yep, Gongzi Ling is a young elite, and is outstanding in every aspect, you have to grasp it well." Ning Zhong laughed.
Hearing that, Yue Lingshan bit her lips and said: "mother, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Ning Zhong covered his mouth and laughed, "I won't ask too much about the matters between you youngsters. Have a good rest."
With that, he stood up and left.
A few days later, at the foot of Huashan Mountain, many seniors of Huashan Mountain stood at the entrance, as if preparing to welcome a certain big shot.
Even Ling Xiao was impressively present and was located in the center. This position also showed just how high his position within the Huashan Mountain was right now.
Not long after, a fast horse came running over and stopped in front of everyone.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao personally went forward and pulled the reins, and then cupped his fists and said: "Disciple Ling Xiao greets Master."
Hearing this, the person on horseback started laughing out loud, it was Feng Qingyang.
After dismounting, Feng Qingyang patted Ling Xiao's shoulders and said: "You've done well this time, I'm very satisfied."
"Master, please leave the mountain." Ling Xiao cupped his fists and said.
Currently, Feng Qingyang was the Huashan Mountain's last resort on the surface, so everyone in the Huashan Mountain respected Feng Qingyang's arrival very much. When everyone saw Feng Qingyang, they all displayed extreme reverence.
There was also the reason of Ling Xiao, if not for Ling Xiao displaying his powerful strength to protect the Huashan Mountain, Feng Qingyang would not have enjoyed such treatment.
The most important reason why these people from the sword sect were so courteous to the leader of the Qi Sect was because Ling Xiao was also a member of the Qi Sect. Furthermore, Feng Qingyang had even taught Ling Xiao a lesson, and said so himself, so Feng Qingyang would be the protection of the Huashan Mountain.
On the mountain, Ning Zhong had already arranged everything. The banquet, welcome party, and so on. As a result, when Ling Xiao brought Yue Buqun up, he received a very grand welcome.
Seeing this scene, Feng Qingyang couldn't help but sigh deeply, "It's been a long time since I've seen such a scene, I kind of want to come back."
Hearing that, Ling Xiao laughed: "If Master is willing to return to Huashan Mountain, I think the entire Huashan Mountain will be wild with joy."
After sitting down at the seat that Ning Zhongze was guiding, Feng Qingyang responded: "Unfortunately, my unrestrained and unrestrained appearance is no longer suitable for me to return to. Let me wander around, roaming about everywhere is fine."
"Martial Uncle, as long as you want to come back, we would naturally welcome you." Ning Zhong, on the other hand, was looking forward to it.
However, Feng Qingyang only shook his head and said: "I'm already old, I do not know when I will die, if not for the fact that I do not forget to practice normally, I'm afraid my body would not be able to continue working."
Hearing that, no one brought up the matter of Feng Qingyang coming back.
Ling Xiao walked forward to pour Feng Qingyang a cup of wine and said: "Master, we travelled a long distance, I came here all the way, and I didn't manage to eat anything.
"Haha, my disciple loves me dearly. Indeed, I don't have much left to eat. Come, all of you sit down and eat together." Feng Qingyang raised his wine cup and laughed loudly.
When everyone heard this, they all sat down and raised their glasses. The banquet began just like that.
This was the biggest banquet that the Huashan Mountain had held recently, and the ingredients used were also extremely sumptuous and fresh. There was only one goal behind this, and that was to curry favor with Feng Qingyang, and at the same time, make him the new Sect Leader who would help him.
Of course, all of this was just Ning Zhongze's inner thoughts. He still had to discuss the concrete results.
