Chapter 5150
"Sect Master …" The white-haired old man had just called out when he was interrupted by the white-browed old man. He smiled and said, "Yun Shu, call me Sect Master in front of others and call me Senior Brother Haoran or even Zhong Haoran in private. Now that there are only the two of us, why are you so polite?"
The white-haired old man laughed, "Haha, if that's the case, I'll call you Martial Uncle Zhong!
That's how I addressed you in front of Daoist Xiao! "
"Oh, forget it!"
Zhong Haoran shrugged, as if he was disgusted, and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything, do as you please!"
"Alright, Lord Sect Master, I admit that I was joking with you, please don't take it to heart!" Fei Yunshu smiled faintly and said, "After all, we haven't seen each other for … fifteen years, right?"
"If I remember correctly, it should be sixteen years!"
Zhong Haoran nodded, "That year, for the expansion of our Fortune Gate, you went deep into the Huan Country and built our Fortune Gate's foundation in the land of sword cultivators. It's been sixteen years since we last met!"
"Yes, sixteen years!"
Fei Yunshu sighed as he looked at Zhong Haoran's white brows, "When I left, your brows were still white, but now they are as white as snow!
You're even more elegant … "
"You're the same ah!"
Zhong Haoran sighed, "The Huan Country's sword cultivators are harder to deal with than the Meng Country's sword cultivators. You had a much harder time in the land of sword cultivators!"
"Same to you!"
Fei Yunshu laughed, "You built the Fortune Gate as a sword cultivator in the Meng Country, and I built the Fortune Gate as a Dao cultivator in the Huan Country. Both were not easy!"
Fei Yunshu's smile disappeared as he frowned, "Oh right, Sect Master, I don't understand, why did you suddenly issue the Sect Master's Order, ordering all Fortune Gate's disciples to besiege the Sky Patrol City?
What does Fairy Hong Xia's engagement with the Ye Family's Young Master have to do with our Fortune Gate? "
"Ah???" Zhong Haoran was shocked, and shouted, "The Sect Master's Order was issued by me!
But … but wasn't the original Sect Master's Order issued by you? "
"What are you talking about!
When did I issue the Sect Master's Order? "
Fei Yunshu's expression turned cold as he hurriedly cried out, "Although I received the Sect Master's Sect Master Token, how could I issue such a ridiculous Sect Master Token?"
At this point, Fei Yunshu suddenly realized something and cried out, "Sect Leader, we … we seem to have fallen into someone's trap!!!"
Zhong Haoran didn't answer right away. He closed his eyes and pinched the space between his brows instead, and he pondered for the time it took to finish a cup of tea before he said, "It isn't just falling into the scheme of others. Others merely tossed a rock and caused a slight ripple, yet I added fuel to the fire and pushed this matter to an unmanageable state!"
"Sect Master …" Fei Yunshu was puzzled. "This … what's going on?"
"It's very simple!" Zhong Haoran smiled bitterly. "The earliest Sect Leader's Order was not issued by me, but received by me!
I thought it was you who issued the Sect Leader's Order. At first, I wanted to send a disciple to blame you, but after careful consideration, I felt that your Sect Leader's Order was very clever and the timing was very good. Thus, I sent a disciple to send a message praising you, saying that I was prepared to follow your wishes and distribute the Sect Leader's Order in the Dawn Rain Continent … "
"But …" Fei Yunshu hurriedly argued, "Sect Master, this disciple has never received such a message from you!"
"Naturally, you couldn't receive it. If you could, wouldn't today's situation be different?"
Zhong Haoran smiled bitterly. "Moreover, I also received your reply. Although you didn't say much, your tone implied that you agreed. Thus, I issued more Sect Leader's Orders!"
"The problem is …" Fei Yunshu was even more puzzled. He asked, "Why did you feel that the Sect Leader's Order was very clever?
The timing was very good? "
Zhong Haoran suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He smiled slightly and replied, "Didn't the message make it clear?
Fairy Hong Xia is Daoist Xiao's lover. How can she be engaged to other cultivators? "
"Sect Master …" Fei Yunshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "When we established the Fortune Gate, we never mentioned Fairy Hong Xia. Now that she is engaged … we have no reason to disturb her, right?
Moreover, Daoist Xiao has never mentioned anything about Fairy Hong Xia and Daoist Xiao. How can we force a marriage between Daoist Xiao and Fairy Hong Xia? "
"Although we haven't seen the relationship between Fairy Hong Xia and Daoist Xiao, I have heard some cultivators from the three countries talk about it …" Zhong Haoran replied, "In the past, the Tai Qing Sect of Meng Country held a Feather Immortal Assembly. Both Daoist Xiao and Fairy Hong Xia participated in it. During the Feather Immortal Assembly, Fairy Hong Xia had a falling out with the Washing Flower Sect's disciples because of Daoist Xiao. It would be strange if they didn't have feelings for each other.
Moreover, after the Dao Sword Battle, Daoist Xiao and Fairy Hong Xia went out to train together. The two of them are a pair of lovers. "
Fei Yunshu still shook his head and said, "Even so, without Fairy Hong Xia's acknowledgment, Sect Master's actions are too reckless!
Daoist Xiao has been missing for almost a thousand years. You have no reason to bring up the relationship between Fairy Hong Xia and Daoist Xiao … "
Without waiting for Fei Yunshu to finish, Zhong Haoran waved his hand and said, "Whether Fairy Hong Xia and Daoist Xiao's relationship is true or not, let's not talk about it for now. Let me ask you, how effective was the Fortune Gate you established among the sword cultivators of Huan Country?"
"Of course, it was excellent!
Didn't this disciple say it clearly in the message I sent to Sect Master? "
Fei Yunshu didn't understand, but he still answered honestly, "Daoist Xiao's benevolence has not only extended to our three countries, but also to the sword cultivators of Huan Country. Without Daoist Xiao's good seed, more than half of Huan Country's common people would have died long ago!"
"Since the effect was good, what about the Fortune Gate now?" Zhong Haoran wasn't surprised by Fei Yunshu's answer and asked again.
"The Fortune Gate's development is too fast!"
Fei Yunshu said excitedly, "This disciple's strength is no longer enough to maintain a sect. In the east and north of Huan Country, other small sword sects have started to appear, claiming to be the Fortune Gate's disciples. It seems like it won't be long before Huan Country will be like the three countries, with a Sword Cultivator Alliance …"
"Do those small sword sects' Sword Masters listen to your orders?" Zhong Haoran asked indifferently.
Fei Yunshu laughed and said, "How is that possible ah!
Some sword sects' Sword Masters are grade three Illusory Sword Masters. They think highly of themselves, so it's impossible for them to listen to a disciple's orders!
Not to mention, when we established the Fortune Gate, we had already discussed it. None of us can be considered the Fortune Gate's Master, only Daoist Xiao is the Fortune Gate's Master … "
At this point, Fei Yunshu looked at the smile on the corner of Zhong Haoran's mouth and seemed to suddenly understand something. He stopped smiling and pondered for a moment before asking tentatively, "Sect Master, do you mean to say that this is the place where the fake Sect Master's Command Token is extremely opportune?"
"I'm sure you've already felt it. Although our Fortune Gate was established late and has a weak foundation, it is because of Daoist Xiao's benevolence that he saved the lives of tens of millions of common people. Among these common people, there are many children with excellent aptitudes who have set foot on the path of cultivation. These children are grateful to Daoist Xiao for saving their lives and are willing to become Fortune Gate's disciples.
Although these disciples are scattered far and wide, a single spark can start a prairie fire. What Daoist Xiao did not dare to imagine in the past has now become a reality on Dawn Rain Mainland! "
Zhong Haoran looked at the distant sun that was covered by dark clouds and explained, "The current Fortune Gate has become another cultivation force that cannot be ignored after the Heavenly Demon Sect!
Moreover, according to this Zhong's knowledge, our Fortune Gate's potential is limitless. In a thousand years, our Fortune Gate will definitely become the world's number one sect! "
"Yes ah!
That's exactly the case! "Fei Yunshu was excited just thinking about it and hurriedly said.
"Unfortunately, such a big sect … is just a loose alliance without a clear leader, let alone a nominal Alliance Chief!
Each sect fights for themselves and has already become a fat piece of meat in the eyes of other cultivation sects and families! "
Zhong Haoran sighed and said, "Not to mention, our strength is too shallow and we can't use our strength to restrain other sects' disciples.
We are happy that they use Daoist Xiao's banner to do righteous things, but what if they use Daoist Xiao's banner to do improper things?
Wouldn't that sully Daoist Xiao's name?
Even if these sects don't do it, what if other cultivation sects take advantage of them? "
"That's true …" Fei Yunshu nodded. "When this disciple was in Huan Country, there were many sword cultivators who tried to recruit disciples and made the Fortune Gate fall under their banner!"
"Therefore …" Zhong Haoran said word by word, "We need an opportunity to gather all the Fortune Gate's disciples, sects that worship Daoist Xiao, and even cultivators from other sects that claim to be Daoist Xiao's disciples. We need to explain our Fortune Gate's mission to everyone!
If possible, we can elect an Alliance Chief … that would be the best! "
Fei Yunshu smiled wryly and shook his head, saying, "Sect Master, your thoughts are quite reasonable.
Presumably, even without that Sect Master Token, you would have issued a similar Sect Master Token sooner or later!
However, have you investigated whether or not the news of Fairy Hong Xia's engagement with the Ye Clan in the fake Sect Leader Token is true? "
"Of course …" Zhong Haoran nodded and said, "When I received the Sect Master Token, I had already sent a disciple to investigate!"
"It seems like …" Fei Yunshu's eyes flashed with understanding. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Zhong Haoran and said, "This Sect Master Token is also for our Fortune Gate ah!
However, Lord Sect Master doesn't need to use this kind of awkward opportunity, right?
This disciple doesn't think this is the best choice! "
Zhong Haoran retracted his gaze and said indifferently, "In the early years, this Zhong had tried to contact other sects, but they thought this Zhong had other plans and did not reply.
Even if they did reply, they were only probing to see if this Zhong has the heart to rule!
This Zhong had no choice but to explain everything one by one.
But they never believed me. Over the years, this Zhong has also lobbied many sects, but they were all very cautious and did not mention this topic!
Besieging the Sky Patrol City … was also this Zhong's last resort. If this Zhong did not take action, I'm afraid we would never see a unified Fortune Gate again! "
