1002 Seeing Chuxue Again (2/2)
They didn't bother about all his hard work in the past, what he did that contributed to their glory, or even the struggle for survival, and his work to let the Common People's Path regain their strength step by step.
If not for him being too anxious for success this time, they might have even grown to their full strength.
If not for Wei Xu, the Common People's Path would have been gone years ago.
However…
Zong Shou also sighed and followed behind.
This was still his mistake and he needed to take responsibility for it.
The hearts of the people were just like that. It wasn't something that a few words and sentences could change.
Moreover, with Wei Xu's personality, he held such actions in contempt.
To reestablish his power, he could only wait until he passed the End Realm tribulation.
He walked into the main hall and he was attracted by a person at the top.
He had white brows and white hair, however, he looked really young. He gave off a special aura which made it tough for one to forget after just a look.
He wasn't as threatening as other End Realm experts, but he was more like a normal person who was really gentle and merciful.
This was Xiuguan!
It wasn't the first time they met. However, the last time was just a projection from thousands of worlds away, and it was only just for a short time.
This was the first time he saw him in the flesh!
He was looking over with warm eyes, they were filled with praise and joy.
Zong Shou respectfully bowed to the few seniors, and then he found a place to sit down.
After which, he heard Xiuguan say, ”You really are not bad, really talented. But your personality is even better. I'm very happy that Wei Xu helped Junior Sister Lin Xuanshuang take you as a disciple…”
At this moment, the people in the hall were all the core God Realm and above people of the sect.
Zong Shou naturally didn't need to hide his identity anymore and sat at the tenth seat based on the positioning of the Mysterious Life Golden Book.
He was already attracting attention at first, but when Xiuguan said this, it pretty much made everyone look over.
Zong Shou wasn't nervous at all and calmly accepted the praise. He asked, ”The sect is about to be wiped out, we should go all out to fight. Why did Senior Master Xiuguan and Senior Brother Wei Xu split our forces? To leave a way out? How can our actions allow the entire sect to fully focus on the enemy? Does Senior Master Xiuguan not have confidence too?”
Everyone had a will to live. If the entire sect had to face a fight to the death, but only some could avoid it, then how would people be happy?
The people in the hall were silent as they exchanged glances with one another. Xiuguan was also stunned.
In the end, he laughed. He wasn't annoyed by Zong Shou's scolding, he even admitted his mistakes.
”I was wrong! Rather than fall and fight for survival like the Legalists and the Demon Sect, why not have a grand battle? The legacy breaking isn't much of a serious matter…”
His tone was really relaxed. Wei Xu also laughed bitterly.
If the legacy was broken, how would Wei Xu have the face to meet Master Xi Zi when he died?
He didn't say anything and took over, ”Junior Brother is right! Our Common People's Path can only fight to the death! Everyone knows that the Taoist Faction Qingxuan Taoist Lord and Taihuang Taoist Lord have returned. The Confucian Faction has their two saints, Zhu Zi and Dong Zhongsu and they are already at the Bailu Heavenly Place. The World Stepping Heaven Lord and Wushang Yuan Demon also have apparitions that appeared. Apart from the Taoist Faction that can also use two End Realm God Venerables. The Confucian Faction also has three Saint Incarnations. The Demon Sect has a World Destroying God Venerable. Just from the known End Realms alone there are twelve…”
When Zong Shou heard this, only then did he realize that the people in the hall weren't especially waiting for him.
Before he came, they were already discussing about this matter.
Twelve End Realms, how terrifying…
He pouted and looked around at the few people sitting in front of him.
Xiuguan, Lin Xuanjing, and Lin Xuanxuan. Next were his six Senior Brothers.
He recognized Wei Xu and Mingyu. The person who was seated only below Wei Xu, the one with a white mustache, was Senior Brother Xiangming.
The one wearing a grey robe who looked cold and handsome was second Senior Brother Jishu. The one who looked really muscular like he was an ignorant martial artist was called Hanzhi.
The last person was thin and small, he looked like a fourteen-year-old child. This was his fifth Senior Brother Gushun.
The six of them were all Saint Realm Venerables and were really strong.
In the names of all six of them, they had the 'Ri' word in it.
As for the other Saint Realm people on the book, apart from Senior Master Lanruo who was in the same generation as Xi Zi, the rest weren't here.
The few of them were really friendly to Zong Shou. Upon seeing Zong Shou look over to them, they all nodded as sort of a polite reply.
Zong Shou's gaze then landed behind Lin Xuanxuan.
There was a teen who was mournfully looking at him. Her eyes were filled with huge amounts of surprise like she just wanted to directly pounce into his arms.
However, Lin Xuanxuan was using true qi to control her such that she couldn't do that. Her face looked like she was about to tear up and cry.
Zong Shou nearly laughed out loud, he really wanted to just hug this brat and dote on her.
His Chuxue was just too cute.
However, he knew that this wasn't the time and he could only resist the temptation.
