Chapter 66: Taking the Junior Sect Master's Position

Qin Yu blinked slightly; he hadn't expected this senior sister to suddenly seek him out.

"You should know, the two of us had no prior contact; he immediately asked warily, 'What do you want to talk about, you say?'"

Lin Xue's beautiful eyes flickered; seeing the wary grandmaster-uncle, she felt a bit at a loss.

Because in the sect, most younger-generation disciples, upon seeing her, would act gentle; few would regard her like Qin Yu did, as if guarding against a thief.

Immediately, she lightly opened her elegant vermilion lips, and a voice as gentle as spring sounded: "Grandmaster-uncle, I have already heard the rumors about you in the inner sect today."

"May I ask, grandmaster-uncle, are you interested in the position of sect master?"

"The sect master has shown me great kindness, but… my master is about to assault the pass and break through; in closed-door seclusion, after this ancient ruins event ends, I fear the position of junior sect master will already be settled."

"I only wish to wholeheartedly aid the Profound Yang Sect's growth; I have no interest in matters of power."

"Among the younger generation, those capable of taking on the role are none other than Dongfang Yuan, Li Xuan, and Xu Hong."

"They, compared to the top batch of geniuses, now have a slight gap."

"It would be difficult to lead the Profound Yang Sect out of its current predicament."

"So… I want to assist grandmaster-uncle in seizing the junior sect master position; under your leadership, the Profound Yang Sect will surely thrive and prosper, returning to its peak glory."

"You have reached the ninth layer of body tempering, surpassed the third layer of foundation establishment, and defeated a direct disciple in a great victory."

"In Leize, at the seventh layer of body tempering, you broke through four stages in succession."

"These… I cannot do; I am willing to wholeheartedly assist grandmaster-uncle."

Lin Xue blinked her beautiful eyes repeatedly, speaking very sincerely.

Yang Hao's relationship to her is not merely that of a master; it is more like that of a father and daughter.

Because when Lin Xue's family was destroyed, it was Sect Master Yang Hao who intervened, rescuing her from fire and water.

Within the Profound Yang Sect, he has continually protected her.

Allowing her to grow in a safe environment.

When capable, he is unwilling to watch the Profound Yang Sect simply decline.

He wants to do something.

Lin Xue dislikes conflict; originally she intended to remain a passive observer.

But now, upon discovering Qin Yu's talent, she immediately formed an idea.

Qin Yu's mouth twitched at this moment; he felt a bit dazed.

This aloof senior sister actually wishes to assist me?

He then shook his head: "My status isn't really suitable for contending for the junior sect master position, is it?"

Lin Xue's stunning face broke into a smile: "Grandmaster-uncle, you needn't worry; the capable will rise, and with your seniority, more elders in the Profound Yang Sect will naturally support you; under your leadership, the sect will be united."

Qin Yu also shook his head: "I have no interest in so-called power; the Profound Yang Sect has treated me well, and if I become capable in the future, I will also protect the Profound Yang Sect and not watch it decline."

But before his words faded, a prompt tone again surfaced in his mind.

【You have received an ordinary suggestion: become the junior sect master of the Profound Yang Sect; after succession, you will gain the thriving and prosperous trait, similar to the previous suggestion—members of the Profound Yang Sect will cultivate with speed increased by twenty percent, breakthrough success rate increased by twenty percent, and spirit medicine growth speed increased by twenty percent!】

【There will be no natural disasters; the weather will be favorable and the populace will submit.】

【Furthermore, you will receive the Fortune's Blessing of the sect's land!】

【In the future, without the trait, as long as the Profound Yang Sect gradually grows, the Fortune's Blessing you receive will increase more and more, possibly making you a true Child of Fortune!】

Immediately Qin Yu stopped speaking, responding in his mind: "Accept the suggestion!"

"Holy crap, as long as the Profound Yang Sect grows, relying on this fortune's power I can become a true Child of Fortune; based on this, I must contend for the junior sect master position!"

"I have no interest in power, but I am interested in the Fortune's Blessing!"

At this moment, the stunning girl before him, her pretty face faintly gloomy, she hadn't expected the grandmaster-uncle to actually refuse.

She is not optimistic about the current younger generation of the Profound Yang Sect.

They can only engage in internal infighting.

Their talent is also insufficient.

In the future, they might even lead the Profound Yang Sect toward decline.

"Since grandmaster-uncle is unwilling to act, then I, Little Snow, am disturbing you." Lin Xue slightly bent her jade leg, placed her slender jade hands at her waist, and performed a salute.

Just as she was about to leave, Qin Yu lightly coughed and spoke directly: "Cough, I think what you said makes sense!"

"I am both the grandmaster-uncle of the Profound Yang Sect and the direct disciple of Ancestor Yangtian!"

"Then the rise and fall of the Profound Yang Sect naturally concerns me!"

"The Profound Yang Sect once shone brightly, unified Canglan Yu, and could even contend with the Holy Land Orthodoxy."

"Yet now it is being targeted by the Myriad Sea Sect in this manner, and I also bear responsibility!"

"Since Lin Xue, you are willing to help!"

"After the ancient ruins conclude, I will declare my stance and contend for the junior sect master position!"

In her beautiful eyes, which had fully shown gloom, Lin Xue's pretty face now revealed a hint of joy.

Her delicate body trembled slightly.

Could it be that I have moved the grandmaster-uncle?

She then clasped her hands in salute: "Thank you, grandmaster-uncle, for worrying about the sect!"

"Then I will go make preparations; after the ancient ruins end, I will help grandmaster-uncle ascend to the junior sect master position!"

"Those few people are naturally not enough to be taken seriously."

"I won't disturb grandmaster-uncle's cultivation; in three days I will also go to the ancient ruins to assist grandmaster-uncle in seizing the opportunity!"

Lin Xue, wholeheartedly for the Profound Yang Sect, after learning of Qin Yu's talent, believes such a top-tier opportunity should be given to grandmaster-uncle.

Only thus can the effect be maximized.

Because she feels that relying on herself, she cannot bear the burden of the Profound Yang Sect.

There's no way…… Nowadays, as soon as the Patriarch of Profound Yang Sect reaches the end of his lifespan and passes away, it will be the most difficult time.

She has no confidence in her master's ascent to the Venerable Realm, because he already failed once before.

This time…… it's a life-or-death gamble.

However, if a suitable person takes charge of Profound Yang Sect, it will also ease the master's worries.

"Good."

Qin Yu gave a slight nod, feeling satisfied.

This time's gains are quite abundant.

He then turned and left directly, heading toward the cliff of Profound Yang Peak.

Preparing to carry out the first suggestion.

First obtain a top-tier opportunity.

This also counts as preparation for what follows.

Lin Xue, who was about to take her leave, stopped in her tracks upon seeing this.

She looked at Qin Yu's back with some hesitation.

She was somewhat puzzled.

Cultivation…… shouldn't be done within a Gathering Spirit Array?

Why did the Grandmaster Uncle go in that direction toward the cliff?

Then, Qin Yu's steps grew faster and faster, and he reached the cliff's mouth, where a prompt appeared in his mind.

【Recording function has been activated, you may use it.】

"Activate recording function."

Qin Yu's eyes glowed with a faint light, and he directly leapt forward!

Lin Xue: "???"

Qin Yu, how did you jump off the cliff?

Isn't this just after you promised yourself you'd vie for the position of Young Sect Master?

Her beautiful eyes narrowed sharply, and she hurriedly sent a mental transmission to the Sect Leader and others, panicking immensely.
