Chapter 2671

The temporary plan Ye Chen provided took into account Hong Changqing, Long death date, and the more than two hundred members of the Taizhen Sect.

First, Hong Changqing's energy would be focused on the martial arts training at the Champs-Élysées Hot Spring Hotel, so he would inevitably have no extra energy to look after the Taizhen Sect disciples.

Second, Long death date hoped that Ye Chen would take the Taizhen Sect under his wing, but Ye Chen felt that the timing was not yet ripe to accept the Taizhen Sect.

Furthermore, as the sect leader in the eyes of the disciples, if Hong Changqing did not show his face for a long time, it would inevitably cause questioning among them. After all, everyone had moved thousands of miles to Jin Ling, and it would be truly unjustifiable for the sect leader to remain absent.

Therefore, Ye Chen had Hong Changqing release the entire first chapter of the "Taizhen Hunyuan Dao." For the Taizhen Sect disciples, this would certainly be a massive boon, enough to occupy their energy for a long time to come. Moreover, after Hong Changqing revealed the news of the subsequent content of the "Taizhen Hunyuan Dao," it would make these disciples even more full of anticipation. In this way, neither Hong Changqing nor Long death date would have to rack their brains over how to appease the Taizhen Sect disciples.

Hong Changqing could focus on teaching martial arts here, while Long death date, shuttling between the two sides, would not only gain something from Hong Changqing but also enhance her own prestige within the Taizhen Sect by passing the teachings on to the disciples.

In this way, it wouldn't take long for the morale of the Taizhen Sect to gradually stabilize and for Long death date's control to gradually strengthen. By then, when Hong Changqing officially passed the position of sect leader to Long death date in front of all the disciples, everything would fall into place naturally.

Hong Changqing could be considered a shrewd man; after hearing Ye Chen's plan, he knew that Ye Chen's solution could be described as killing three birds with one stone, with no flaws to be found.

Long death date also hadn't expected that Ye Chen would actually be willing to let her participate in the martial arts training at Champs-Élysées, and naturally, she felt incredibly grateful.

Although Ye Chen had not yet officially stated his willingness to take the Taizhen Sect under his wing, he had at least made preliminary arrangements for them. She didn't need to be overly eager for success; she would first settle down in Jin Ling with the Taizhen Sect disciples and then plan for the long term.

Thus, after the master and disciple expressed their gratitude, Hong Changqing took advantage of the fact that classes hadn't officially started yet and hurried with Long death date to the hotel where the Taizhen Sect disciples were staying to appease them.

Once in the car, Hong Changqing finally breathed a sigh of relief and muttered with lingering fear, "Fortunately, Mr. Ye is kind-hearted; this matter can be considered properly resolved."

After speaking, he couldn't help but glare at Long death date and warned, "death date, from now on, don't you dare stir up any more trouble. Besides, I won't have much time during this period, so when we meet your fellow disciples later, I will announce in public that you will be acting as the sect leader for the time being. During this period, the management of the Taizhen Sect will depend on you."

Long death date nodded without hesitation, "Master, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of everyone."

Hong Changqing added, "This martial arts training will last about half a year, which is enough time for everyone to adapt to the new environment in Jin Ling and to adapt to you as the acting sect leader. By then, I will officially pass the sect leader position to you, and you must not refuse again."

As he spoke, without waiting for Long death date to respond, Hong Changqing added, "By the way, don't mention the medicine cauldron again in the future; let this matter rot in your stomach!"

Long death date was no longer struggling with the matter of the medicine cauldron, so she agreed without hesitation, saying, "Master, rest assured, from now on, death date will never mention the medicine cauldron again!"

Hong Changqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Long death date was willing to help him keep the secret of the medicine cauldron, he would not become a sinner of the Taizhen Sect—at the very least, not a public one.

Having relaxed, Hong Changqing looked at Long death date and said, as if comforting himself, "death date, Master feels that the fact that the medicine cauldron is now in the hands of Master Ye is actually a good thing for you, for me, and for the Taizhen Sect. To say nothing else, the subsequent content of the 'Taizhen Hunyuan Dao' alone is far more valuable than that medicine cauldron, not to mention the opportunities Master Ye might bring us in the future. What do you think?"

Long death date was silent for a moment, then nodded gently and said earnestly, "The medicine cauldron was passed down in the Taizhen Sect for thousands of years, yet it never helped the Taizhen Sect cultivate a true martial arts master. It seems it wasn't of much use, or perhaps it couldn't exert its true efficacy in the hands of the Taizhen Sect. Conversely, the other day, Master Ye only infused a trace of special power into my body that cannot be described in words, and it was able to directly open up all my meridians. From this point alone, one can see that Master Ye's strength is countless levels higher than the ancestors of the Taizhen Sect over the past thousand years."

"Yes," Hong Changqing sighed, "Now that you put it that way, Master feels much more at ease..."

Just as Ye Chen expected.

When Hong Changqing publicly revealed the entire content of the first chapter of the "Taizhen Hunyuan Dao" to the Taizhen Sect disciples, the entire sect was ecstatic.

According to the rules of the Taizhen Sect, the content of the first chapter of the "Taizhen Hunyuan Dao" was divided into four parts. All disciples in the sect could obtain the first part, but to obtain the second part, their cultivation had to reach the level of a three-star martial artist.

As for the third part, one had to reach the level of a five-star martial artist.

And whether one could obtain the final fourth part depended on two points.

First, whether one's cultivation could break through to a six-star martial artist.

Second, whether one was about to become the next sect leader.

Long death date's cultivation had just broken through to a five-star martial artist not long ago, so before coming to Jin Ling last time, she had only mastered the first three parts of the "Taizhen Hunyuan Dao." It was only after coming to Jin Ling and meeting Hong Changqing that she obtained the fourth part because she was about to inherit the position of sect leader.

The Taizhen Sect disciples were also very clear about these rules, so almost every disciple in the sect would do their utmost to improve their cultivation, striving to learn more content.

But now, the rules that the Taizhen Sect had passed down for thousands of years were broken by Hong Changqing in one fell swoop.

He directly made all the content public and told everyone that he was organizing the content of the second chapter of the "Taizhen Hunyuan Dao" that he had accidentally obtained.

Once these words were spoken, it gave the Taizhen Sect disciples even greater motivation.

And everyone naturally assumed that this was the fundamental reason why Hong Changqing had Long death date bring the sect leader's token and move them from the United States to Jin Ling.

Thus, all previous doubts, confusion, and even inner dissatisfaction and reluctance vanished at this moment.

Immediately afterward, Hong Changqing took advantage of the situation to tell everyone that because he needed to concentrate on researching the subsequent content, he had no extra energy to attend to sect affairs during this period, so Long death date would serve as the acting sect leader, fully responsible for all matters of the Taizhen Sect.

Since Long death date was already Hong Changqing's personal disciple and the designated successor to the sect leader, naturally, no one had any objections to her serving as the acting sect leader.

Moreover, everyone's food, clothing, housing, and daily expenses in Jin Ling were all provided by Long death date's family, so everyone was convinced and willing to have her manage the sect.

Seeing that the problems of the Taizhen Sect were temporarily resolved, Hong Changqing also felt relieved and prepared to return to the Champs-Élysées Hotel to begin final preparations for tomorrow's lecture.

Just as Long death date was preparing to drive Hong Changqing back, Hong Changqing suddenly received a call from Ye Chen's grandmother.

Hong Changqing hurriedly answered and asked respectfully, "Old Madam An, why did you suddenly think of calling Hong?"

Ye Chen's grandmother said, "Master Hong, Chongqiu recently arranged for the butler to scout for a property in Jin Ling. The An family is prepared to set off for Jin Ling in the near future, so I would like to ask you to help look at the Feng Shui of this property. I wonder if Master Hong has time?"

Hong Changqing hurriedly said, "I have time, I have time. When does Old Madam An plan to come over?"

Ye Chen's grandmother said, "In these few days. If there are no problems with the place to stay, we might go over at any time, so I'll have to trouble Master Hong to help."

Hong Changqing said without hesitation, "No problem, Old Madam. Please give the address to Hong, and Hong will go over right now!"
