Chapter 929: The Heavenly Sword Ancestor's Arrangement

After all, Jiang Zhiwei was the strongest prodigy he had ever seen in his life; no matter what, he could never catch up to her.

Such a person, needless to say in the Heavenly Sword Sect, even in any sect at all—as long as the higher-ups weren't blind—would surely be cultivated as the Young Sect Master, terrified she might feel the treatment was poor and leave.

So regarding the Heavenly Sword Ancestor's decision, he only felt it was beyond expectation, yet still within reason.

Nie Wushuang shook his head, and mimicking Ning Zhengqi, cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations, Little Martial Uncle-Ancestor, on becoming our sect's Emissary!"

A glint of unusual light flickered in Jiang Zhiwei's eyes.

She had been studying at the Heavenly Sword Sect for several months now, no longer the naive and ignorant girl she once was, and naturally knew the meaning behind the word "Emissary."

Thinking that she would become the new Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect in the future, her originally calm heart suddenly rippled.

Because this meant she finally had a chance to repay her clan, to offer them a modest contribution!

Thinking of this, she did not refuse the position of Emissary.

Raising her head to look at the Heavenly Sword Ancestor, she cupped her hands and said: "Many thanks, Master. Zhiwei is willing to take on this responsibility!"

Hearing this, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor's face showed a look of satisfaction.

Setting aside just how heaven-defying this disciple of his own aptitude truly was, and how great her future achievements would be.

Just considering the Jiang Clan Patriarch behind her alone was enough to make him place this heavy bet—staking the entire Heavenly Sword Sect to gamble for a dazzling future!

And this move was also a gesture of goodwill toward the Jiang Clan Patriarch, deepening the relationship between the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Cangwu Jiang Clan, making both families into one family!

Afterwards, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor looked toward Ning Zhengqi.

This child was one he had watched grow up since young.

His aptitude and intellect both far surpassed the ordinary, and he was the leading figure among the sect's younger generation.

If nothing unexpected happened, in a few more years he would represent the sect and become an Emissary.

But unfortunately, with fine jade ahead, the other party could only suffer for it.

"However, although this child's aptitude is not as good as Zhiwei's, his disposition is excellent. If he has the chance, a future achievement of great fortune is not impossible..."

Seeing that Ning Zhengqi could calm his mindset so quickly, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor deliberated for a moment, then slowly said: "Qi'er."

Hearing the Ancestor call him, Ning Zhengqi hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed: "Ancestor."

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Although we have now decided Zhiwei as our sect's Emissary, because she is wholly devoted to the sword, she is somewhat weak in other areas, with many shortcomings. I hope you will assist her more in the days to come, lending her a hand..."

When the words fell.

Ning Zhengqi instinctively froze.

Although the Ancestor had not stated it explicitly, with his intelligence, how could he not know the meaning hidden within the words?

Jiang Zhiwei was to be the future Sect Master.

Then as the one personally chosen by the Ancestor to assist her, he would probably also hold an important position in the future.

Could it be... Vice Sect Master?

Ning Zhengqi's eyes flickered, and in an instant he thought of many things.

That's right, although Little Martial Uncle-Ancestor's talent was extremely powerful.

She had enormous shortcomings in worldly affairs, and was not suited to managing the sect.

Once he became Vice Sect Master, although the title was "vice," in reality it would likely be "chief"!

The Little Martial Uncle-Ancestor, as Sect Master, would be immersed in the world of the sword, with no time to manage the sect.

She would probably be like a hands-off boss, leaving all matters to him to handle.

And this point, for him, happened to suit his own wishes as well.
