Chapter 981: Li Shenghong's Thoughts

"Allow me to consider for a few days." Zhuge Ruolan still did not believe Yin Gui Zhenren; this matter was too sudden, she needed to think, and also needed some time to accept.

The sect master of the Yin Gui Sect can be taken.

But the premise is that Yin Gui Zhenren leaves this world and goes to Tianwai; then the Yin Gui Sect would be hers, and at that time she could control the Yin Gui Sect, possess greater power, and control more resources and techniques, which would benefit her cultivation.

At that time, she could also help her older brother, letting him quickly recover his soul.

The premise of all this is that Yin Gui Zhenren leaves, taking a group of Yin Gui Sect members with him; then she could fully control the Yin Gui Sect. If Yin Gui Zhenren leaves some people behind, giving her a mess, she would be better off not returning as sect master.

"Fine." Yin Gui Zhenren this time readily agreed, without further persuasion, turned and left.

Zhuge Ruolan watched his retreating back, slowly turned and asked, "Li Shenghong, do you think I should go back?"

Li Shenghong's gaze was complex as he said, "Yin Gui Zhenren seems truly intent on leaving this world; he is heading to Tianwai, and his purpose appears not simple. Holy Maiden, perhaps this time he is serious. The Yin Gui Sect has endured several battles, and few strong ones remain within the sect, with the younger generation completely cut off."

"After counting, Holy Maiden, you are the most suitable candidate; he chose you as sect master, which naturally reflects his considerations."

"If it were me, I would also choose Holy Maiden as sect master."

Zhuge Ruolan asked curiously, "Why?"

Li Shenghong said lightly, "First, Holy Maiden, you are the Holy Maiden of the Yin Gui Sect, your status is exalted. Currently, within the Yin Gui Sect there is no one more suitable than you, whether in cultivation talent, age, or other aspects; the Holy Maiden is the most suitable, without exception."

"Those elders are either old or on their deathbeds; they will soon reach the end of their lifespans. They naturally would not choose to take over the Yin Gui Sect, and are very likely to follow the sect master to Tianwai to pursue their own paths."

"Second, the Holy Maiden's position: you are the Holy Maiden, the Holy Sons of the Yin Gui Sect have all died, leaving only you. Besides you, I cannot think of any other suitable candidate."

"Furthermore, there is a third point."

Li Shenghong did not directly state the final point, but instead gazed at Zhuge Ruolan with a complex expression.

Zhuge Ruolan asked doubtfully, "What is the third point?"

The first two points, Zhuge Ruolan had also considered; she naturally knew the situation of the Yin Gui Sect, but she never expected Yin Gui Zhenren would choose her.

Startled, she quickly understood the reason.

"The third point, also very important, is that Her Highness the Holy Maiden, your relationship with Chen Chuyang is profound; although you have not yet taken that step, it will not be late. For this reason, Yin Gui Zhenren must choose you."

"For the future of the Yin Gui Sect, for its stability, it must be you."

Zhuge Ruolan frowned; the final point was something she had not anticipated.

Her relationship with Chen Chuyang has not yet taken that step, so it is not to be taken seriously.

This point, it seems, cannot be taken seriously.

"This?" Zhuge Ruolan hesitated, saying, "This point seems not to be... the most important point, right?"

Li Shenghong smiled: "Her Highness the Holy Maiden, you underestimate Chen Chuyang's influence; this person in this world cannot be ignored."

"If the sect master leaves this world, the remaining Yin Gui Sect, if it does not wish to be destroyed, must necessarily consider Chen Chuyang."

"As for the previous relationship between the Yin Gui Sect and Chen Chuyang, that was also the case before; if the next sect master does not accept something and thus provokes Chen Chuyang, the only outcome awaiting the Yin Gui Sect is destruction."

Chen Chuyang's influence is immense, something all forces cannot avoid.

Zhuge Ruolan does not think along these lines, but Yin Gui Zhenren cannot help but think so.

Everyone must think this way.

One cannot avoid Chen Chuyang; it is best to find someone with a good relationship with him to become sect master, so that the Yin Gui Sect can be preserved and its status guaranteed in the future.

Li Shenghong is all too aware of Chen Chuyang's position; he is the sole ruler of this world.

No matter who, they must respect him; even Li Shenghong, when facing Chen Chuyang, cannot remain calm.

"What you say is not without reason; looking at it this way, Yin Gui Zhenren's choice must have been the result of multiple considerations."

"Not bad, Holy Maiden; from my perspective, the position of sect master is acceptable."

Li Shenghong said lightly, "First, these people have followed Her Highness the Holy Maiden for many years; they should also consider their future retreat."

"Second, if Her Highness the Holy Maiden becomes sect master, she can control more resources, and her cultivation advancement can keep pace."

"True Realm is strong only in this world; once in Tianwai, it amounts to nothing."

"Holy Maiden, you also need greater ambition, not be confined to this world."

"In the future, Chen Chuyang will certainly go to Tianwai; if you can accompany him by his side, your status will be unshakable, something no other woman can match."

Zhuge Ruolan's thoughts, Li Shenghong naturally understands.

"That man is indeed outstanding; the Holy Maiden together with him makes a very perfect choice."

"Within this world, she may not be able to constantly accompany Chen Chuyang; but in Tianwai, they can be together day and night."

"At that time, the Holy Maiden will be Chen Chuyang's sole one."

Zhuge Ruolan's face flushed as she stared at Li Shenghong; her inner little thought was seen through, leaving no secrets.

She cannot deny that he indeed thinks that way.

Not just once.

"Li Shenghong, do you say he is a perfect choice?"

Li Shenghong shook his head: "I don't know, but I can be certain that he is the Holy Maiden's only choice; in this world, no one is worthy of the Holy Maiden except him."

"Chen Chuyang's future will not be limited to this world; True Realm is not his limit, nor even Dao Realm."

"We people of this world, in the future, even if we reach Tianwai, must rely on him."

"Moreover, Her Highness the Holy Maiden, once you become sect master, I too can then rest easy."

He gazed toward Tianwai.

To speak frankly, he also harbors thoughts of leaving.

He has had this for a long time; Tianwai is their battlefield, while this place has lost its challenge.

After all wishes are fulfilled, the time to depart arrives; he worries about the Holy Maiden, but if she becomes sect master and becomes Chen Chuyang's woman, there is no need to worry about that.

Then he can set his mind completely at ease and go to Tianwai to wage war.

That passage, Li Shenghong naturally knows; Yin Gui Zhenren and they all share this idea, indicating the passage is unproblematic.

The danger is greatly reduced, and moreover, one can accurately proceed to Tianwai; why not go?

Li Shenghong, do you also want to leave this world?

Li Shenghong nodded: "Not bad, Holy Maiden, you also know my identity; I, uh, want to go to Tianwai to take a look, I want to go to the Qi Family to take a look."

"Tianwai, uh, who wouldn't want to go?"
