Chapter 30: Does the elder have to yield to the younger for a lifetime?

Liu Yuesong heard Ye Xiuxiu's words, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch violently.

He hurriedly shook his head,

and quickly said, "Not at all."

"It's not like that."

However, Ye Xiuxiu was full of doubts,

blinking her big, clear eyes, she stared at Liu Yuesong and pressed:

"Auntie, what exactly do you mean?"

Liu Yuesong took a deep breath and slowly explained:

"This child Ruyan simply can't muster any interest in studying the correct Words of the Saints."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xiuxiu nodded thoughtfully,

then gave a hehe laugh and echoed:

"People each have their own aspirations and pursuits; we shouldn't force anything. Besides, I can't prove that what I insist on is absolutely correct."

"But at least for me, these correct Words of the Saints are really useful!"

"Isn't it precisely by relying on the correct Words of the Saints that I have cultivated this mighty Magnanimous Righteous Qi?"

Saying this, Ye Xiuxiu involuntarily straightened her back,

her face beaming with pride.

Immediately after,

Ye Xiuxiu seemed to suddenly think of something unpleasant, her face showing a bit of dejection,

"Oh dear, I was just thinking earlier,

"If younger sister Ruyan were willing to study the correct Words of the Saints,

"I could bring her into our Confucian Sage Association!"

"Then younger sister Ruyan could become the first Hall Member of the Confucian Sage Association!"

"It's really a pity."

Meanwhile, Liu Yuesong's mouth corner kept twitching.

She secretly groaned, thinking that Ye Xiuxiu really had blocked everything she wanted to say.

Not to mention other things,

in fact her true plan was to have Ye Ruyan directly take the position of president of the Confucian Sage Association!

Seeing the situation getting harder to control, Liu Yuesong gritted his teeth,

and finally decided to brace himself and lay out his true thoughts completely.

"I'm being shameless!"

"Xiuxiu, what I actually mean is……"

Liu Yuesong looked at Ye Xiuxiu with a faint smile and slowly said:

"Let your younger sister Ruyan take the position of president of the Confucian Sage Association."

Ye Xiuxiu was still lost in her thoughts,

but upon hearing this sentence, she was completely stunned,

she widened her eyes and repeated in disbelief:

"Let younger sister Ruyan become the president of the Confucian Sage Association?"

Liu Yuesong seemed to have anticipated Ye Xiuxiu's reaction,

he still kept his smile, lightly nodded to indicate affirmation:

"Exactly!"

After Ye Xiuxiu came to her senses, she began to carefully size up Liu Yuesong from head to toe,

thinking to herself:

"Could this auntie have lost her mind?"

"How could she come up with such a ridiculous idea?"

"And she even dares to say such things shamelessly!"

Thinking this, Ye Xiuxiu could no longer suppress her inner doubts and dissatisfaction,

she asked, "What about me?"

Hearing Ye Xiuxiu's question, Liu Yuesong's smile grew a bit wider,

he secretly rejoiced, thinking Ye Xiuxiu had already tacitly accepted his proposal,

and quickly continued:

"Don't worry, Xiuxiu."

"By then we can add a Vice President position in the Confucian Sage Association for you to take."

However, as soon as Liu Yuesong finished speaking,

the corner of Ye Xiuxiu's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

She simply couldn't believe that these words were actually coming from the auntie's mouth.

She is, after all, the president of the Confucian Sage Association,

let alone younger sister Ruyan, a latercomer,

even Chen Gong Dong, who joined the Confucian Sage Association earliest,

would absolutely not dare to lightly propose that she step down and yield her position.

"Xiuxiu……"

Liu Yuesong saw Ye Xiuxiu not responding for a long time,

He continued to persuade,

"As an older sister, you ought to let your younger sister have her way more."

"Just satisfy your little sister's small wish."

"If you really don't want to be the Vice President of the Confucian Sage Association,"

Liu Yuesong said while speaking,

and reached out to gently rub Ye Xiuxiu's little head,

with a faint, hardly noticeable sly smile at the corner of his mouth,

"Then you could simply go create a new Sage Association yourself and naturally become its president."

"That way, you'd also be helping your younger sister out."

It was obvious that Liu Yuesong was utterly unwilling to let Ye Xiuxiu serve as Vice President of the Confucian Sage Association.

She actually wished she could kick Ye Xiuxiu out of that position as soon as possible.

"Let's just leave it at that then."

Liu Yuesong looked at Ye Xiuxiu and nodded satisfactorily,

He muttered,

"This child is really so sensible."

However, at that very moment, the usually silent Ye Xiuxiu suddenly jumped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on,

She leapt back a big step, her face flushed red,

and shouted angrily,

"No, Second Aunt! I firmly disagree!"

Her voice was clear and loud, echoing throughout the room.

"I refuse!"

Ye Xiuxiu stared straight into Liu Yuesong's eyes without backing down,

and said firmly,

"If Ru Yan really wants to be president,"

"then let her create her own Sage Association; why should I give up my position as president of the Confucian Sage Association? I won't do it!"

Hearing Ye Xiuxiu's such firm attitude,

Liu Yuesong's previously smug smile instantly stiffened,

she widened her eyes,

and, incredulous, looked at this usually obedient little girl before her and raised her voice to scold,

"Refuse? You actually dare to refuse? I tell you, no way!"

"Even if you refuse now, it's useless! This matter has been decided, no room for negotiation!"

"The position of president of the Confucian Sage Association must be given to your younger sister,

"As for you, go wherever you want to cause trouble, and go create some messed-up organization of your own to be its president!"

Faced with Liu Yuesong's unreasonable high-handedness,

Ye Xiuxiu's eye sockets gradually turned red,

but she stubbornly bit her lip, refusing to yield, and shouted again loudly,

"No way, I absolutely don't want to! I am the president of the Confucian Sage Association—no one dare try to take my position!"

Bai Qixia then couldn't help but cough lightly twice,

then furrowed her brows, fixed a sharp gaze on Liu Yuesong, and said,

"Yuesong, if Ru Yan truly wants to be president, she can totally rely on her own efforts to create an organization of her own!"

"Why must you go snatch what belongs to others?"

"What kind of glorious deed is this kind of behavior?" Her words carried obvious dissatisfaction and blame.

Upon hearing Bai Qixia say that, Liu Yuesong's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he replied with a dry laugh,

"Oh, how could this be considered grabbing?!"

He tried to explain,

"As an older sister, stepping back a little and giving this opportunity to the younger sister isn't exactly normal, is it?"

"After all, seniority should be respected; the older naturally ought to look after the younger more."

After saying that, he especially emphasized one more sentence,

as if he thought this reasoning was very reasonable.
