The Discipline Hall elder expressionlessly responded to the Sect Master, ”All matters ask about actions, not intentions, and to keep the law is just so. Regardless of what the Sect Master thinks of our views, according to the laws of Mount Li, disciple Qi Jian should be handed over to the Discipline Hall for questioning.”
Bai Cai angrily replied, ”Martial Uncle Hong, if all matters ask about actions and not intentions, then besides that glance from Third Brother before he died, just what wrongs has Junior Brother committed? Just what exactly did he do that he needs to be questioned by the Discipline Hall?”
Xiao Songgong looked at him and bitterly laughed, ”Although Liang Xiaoxiao only glanced at her, he said what he needed to loud and clear. That wolf cub is the main culprit who collaborated with the demons to cause chaos in the Garden of Zhou. And inside the Garden of Zhou and even outside, at least several hundred pairs of eyes can clearly testify that Qi Jian was embracing that wolf cub and exchanging flirting glances. There's something between the two of them!”
The vast majority of people did not understand the meaning of Xiao Songgong's words, but the faces of those who knew Qi Jian's history abruptly changed. Not waiting for these people to say any words to stop him, Xiao Songgong shouted, ”Qi Jian is Junior Martial Uncle's own daughter!”
The mountains erupted with noise!
”She is a woman, and yet she would actually fool around with this wolf-human hybrid, and even touch skin! Does she still want the face to stand for my Mount Li's good name? For what reason can't the Discipline Hall question her!”
Xiao Songgong’s frigid and malicious voice echoed through the peak and was simultaneously transmitted through the array to all the other peaks. All the mountains were deathly silent, the Mount Li disciples too shocked to muster any words. Junior Brother Qi Jian…was actually a girl? And she was actually…Junior Martial Uncle's own daughter? Was this all true?
Xiao Songgong stared into the Sect Master's eyes and said derisively, ”If she were not Junior Martial Uncle's daughter, how could you possibly cherish her as much as you do? What she wants, you give her. Haven't Hanshi and the rest encountered something like this? Even Qiushan—do you treat him as well as you do Qi Jian? Did you think I didn't know? You even want to give the position of Sect Master over to her!”
The disciples on the various peaks of Mount Li were even more stunned at these words. Bai Cai was very anxious and wanted to say something, but he was prevented from doing so by the Sect Master. The Sect Master shook his head at Xiao Songgong, his face revealing a faint sense of ridicule and sorrow.
He truly did particularly dote on Qi Jian, much more so than he did on Gou Hanshi and the others, and not even Qiushan could compare. But this was not because Qi Jian was Junior Martial Uncle's daughter. It was because she was his final disciple, and also because Qi Jian was a girl. It was such a simple reason, and the Sect Master understood that Qiushan and the others all understood and accepted it. Thus, in the past several years, they had also doted on Qi Jian. He believed Xiao Songgong would also understand this, but would he listen to him right now?
Xiao Songgong would not cease his attacks just because of the Sect Master's silence. He looked at him and icily continued, ”The position of the Mount Li Sword Sect Master is not yours to decide on! If you want to give it to Qi Jian, you must also see if we agree or disagree.”
The Sect Master calmly looked back and asked, ”Then in your view, who should occupy the position of Sect Master of the Mount Li Sword Sect?”
Xiao Songgong coldly answered, ”The position of Sect Master of the Mount Li Sword Sect in the future should naturally belong to Martial Nephew Qiushan!”
This statement was extremely unyielding. All the disciples of all the mountains of Mount Li, even Bai Cai who was supporting the Sect Master, thought that this statement was only right and inevitable. The entirety of the Mount Li Sword Sect, and even the entirety of the world, had long since tacitly approved of this point.
”Talking back and forth, but we still only talk about the position of Sect Master.” The Sect Master looked at Xiao Songgong and sighed, his eyes filled with pity and even sympathy. ”Senior Brother, when will you learn to look a little farther?”
Because of the Sect Master's eyes, Xiao Songgong grew indescribably furious. He bellowed, ”Could it be that you think I'm a person that clings to power and position? Could it be that you think that I rebelled for my own personal benefit!”
