Chapter 3147
He had already run through the whole process in his mind, but his face showed no sign of it, and Qi Xiong didn't notice any problem at all.
Seeing Wu Shou support him so much, Qi Xiong felt the matter was settled.
"Since even the junior brother says that, let's sum up the details."
"Good."
Hearing that, Wu Shou naturally nodded repeatedly in agreement; now it's fine, he doesn't even need to use his brain, as someone will think for him.
Next, Qi Xiong would propose various ideas, while Wu Shou only needed to offer simple counsel from the side.
When encountering an unsuitable point, they would point out the problem, and Qi Xiong himself would think of a solution.
Until the details in all aspects were roughly polished, by then the sky was already bright, and Qi Xiong exclaimed excitedly.
"Then it's settled; I'll go prepare on my end."
Qi Xiong couldn't wait any longer, but Wu Shou beside him held him back.
"Senior Brother, please stay calm and don't be impatient."
"What's wrong?"
"Senior Brother, you still need to make some preparations for this matter."
"Preparations? What preparations? Guard against whom?"
"Senior Brother, think about it: Junior Brother Hong Zun made a killing at the Sword Immortal Convention, don't you think others might want to imitate him? They could set up a Knife Immortal Convention, a Spear Immortal Convention, and so on."
Upon hearing that, Qi Xiong nodded repeatedly.
"Exactly, exactly, exactly, the junior brother's words make sense; that bunch would definitely pull off something like this."
"So, Senior Brother, the urgent priority is to first greet the other junior brothers and make sure we don't clash; otherwise, how could Ye Zhangqing keep up?"
"Quite right, quite right, the junior brother is correct."
Hearing that, Qi Xiong kept nodding repeatedly; he hadn't even thought of stopping others, but as Senior Brother he certainly had to be at the forefront.
There are mainly three reasons.
The first is face; as Senior Brother, how could he allow himself to be junior to the other junior brothers?
The second is that he can't wait.
The third, and most important, is Ye Zhangqing's side.
The reason this banquet is happening is, frankly, not because the situation forced it; things have already happened, and Ye Zhangqing agreed only to look after the big picture.
But what if he later refuses to agree? Who could do anything about it?
Moreover, the later it gets, the more banquets are held, and the higher the chance of being refused.
For now, only one Sword Immortal Convention has been held, so Ye Zhangqing is unlikely to refuse.
But if such conventions keep coming again and again, it's hard to guarantee Ye Zhangqing won't refuse.
So, at this most promising moment, it definitely has to be this Senior Brother who goes first, securing this bite before saying anything else.
As for Wu Shou's idea, it's even simpler: the plan is already set, and what he needs to do is have Qi Xiong first detain the others.
Meanwhile, he will hurry to organize the Grand Elder selection; once it's a done deal, even if Qi Xiong finds out, it won't matter.
So he definitely needs to have Qi Xiong negotiate with the other junior brothers.
As for Wu Shou's idea, Qi Xiong naturally knew nothing about it; after being reminded like that, he pondered for a moment and then said.
"Like this, junior brother, you go call the others now; I'll personally talk to them."
"Senior Brother, I still have something to attend to today, I'm afraid I can't keep you company..."
"You have something to do?"
"Senior Brother, you know, I have an appointment with the Third Elder of the Wushen Palace."
Wu Shou put on a fake blush and said that; hearing this, Qi Xiong first froze, then burst out laughing loudly.
"Haha, look at me, I forgot all about this; good, good, good, you're no longer young, you should also worry about your lifelong matter; I'll personally go tell them."
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
"What thanks? Senior Brother is still waiting to drink your wedding wine."
Without suspicion, he let Wu Shou leave; immediately Qi Xiong personally contacted Qin Shan Hai, Lin Potian, and the other junior brothers and sisters, summoning everyone who was in the Sect.
Meanwhile, Wu Shou, having left Qi Xiong's Dong Fu, hurriedly rushed toward his own Dong Fu.
While the Senior Brother was detaining everyone, he had to finalize the matter of selecting the best Grand Elder.
This cannot be delayed.
All the way back, Wu Shou's Formation Disk kept flashing with formation light.
Upon answering, he saw on the other end a plump woman dressed in the robes of a Wushen Palace Elder.
Seeing Wu Shou, the woman spoke in a slightly displeased, coquettish tone.
"Where have you been? Took you so long to answer."
"Lately I've had important matters; don't contact me for anything trivial."
He said it offhand without thinking, but as soon as those words left his mouth, the woman on the other end could easily imagine, and she instantly flew into a rage, shouting.
"Wu Shou, what do you mean? When you first came to the Wushen Palace, you weren't like this toward me."
"Nothing much, I really have something to do."
"What important matter?"
"Sect secrets."
"No, if you don't make things clear today, then we're done; don't ever come looking for me again."
The Third Elder of the Wushen Palace refused to let up; upon this, Wu Shou didn't even think, his mind full of the best Grand Elder selection, and he directly replied.
"Fine, fine, fine, whatever you say."
After saying that, he didn't wait for her response and directly hung up the Formation Disk.
On the other side, the woman residing in Wushen Palace watched as the formation light curtain slowly dissipated, and she was completely dumbfounded.
This guy actually hung up her formation disk? Her teeth clenched, making a grating sound, and her eye sockets instantly turned red.
"As expected, men aren't any good; he wasn't like this before…………………"
Recalling when she first met Wu Shou, that Wu Shou back then was practically the warm sunshine of winter.
Even though they're cultivators, he still constantly asks about her cold and warmth; although it's practically useless, it still makes her heart feel warm.
But a few days ago, that old thing brazenly showed up at their Wushen Palace again.
It was that time when Wu Shou spent the night in her Dong Fu.
Originally after that, the Third Elder had already confirmed it was him; they just needed to pick an auspicious day, and then the matter could be settled.
But now that old thing comes, pulls up his pants, and refuses to acknowledge people—what does 'everything as I say' even mean?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got; the Third Elder gritted her teeth and contacted Wu Shou again.
But this time, the other side didn't answer at all; she refused to believe it and kept activating the formation disk.
After two attempts, the formation disk's light turned directly red.
"He even erased the formation's nodal points?"
Two Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán must have formation nodal points to link together; without nodal points they cannot connect.
Staring at the unresponsive Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán, the Wushen Palace Third Elder was completely dazed, her head buzzing.
Those sweet nothings from that night still seemed to linger in her ears, but only a short time has passed, and he actually wiped out the formation's nodal points.
Two lines of clear tears unconsciously flowed from the corners of her eyes.
As for Wu Shou, who resides in the Dao One Immortal Sect, he had already returned to his Dong Fu, casually wiping out the formation nodal points with the Third Elder, and said irritably.
"Why are you being so unreasonable? I already said I have important matters."
He immediately activated the formation disk; not long after, an elderly woman with white hair and wrinkled skin appeared on the other side. Upon seeing her, Wu Shou immediately grinned and said.
"Grand Elder Wang, long time no see."
