Chapter 399: Can't hold it anymore

At this moment,

facing Zhou Zhiruo's explanation, everyone's hearts were complex.

This little girl kept saying she had no ambition, but she didn't want Emei to be bullied by anyone anymore.

If she could, Emei turning the tables and becoming the master was not impossible.

Hearing this, even the usually serious Abbess Miejue could not help but smile.

Then, a bitterness that could not be seen appeared on Miejue's face.

She had worked so hard for so many years, managing so much, just so Emei would be less constrained; yet this disciple of hers had such a tendency to take her place.

If this wasn't ambition, what was?

It was just that this bit of ambition made Abbess Miejue very appreciative; at least it was much better than disciples who only knew how to fight among themselves.

But at this moment, Ding Minjun was not convinced and, holding her breath, said indignantly:

"Then in Mr. Su's view, when will our little junior sister take over Emei's mantle and lead us to achieve supreme greatness?"

This sentence was originally spoken in anger, just to mock her little junior sister.

After all, the discord between her and Zhou Zhiruo had become more and more public over the years, to the point where it could almost not be maintained even in front of Miejue.

There was no help for it; the Emei Sect had withered in talent over the years and had no decent disciples.

And after hearing Ding Minjun's words, Su Hang smiled faintly,

"Soon,"

"Within a year."

"What!"

"Zhiruo will become the leader in a year?"

This time it was Abbess Miejue's turn to be stunned.

She was in her prime, her energy was flourishing, and she had grand ambitions that she hadn't yet unfolded!

The most critical thing was that at this juncture, Emei had gradually embarked on the right path, its status in the Great Ming Jianghu was getting higher and higher, and it even had the momentum to surpass other second-rate sects and march toward a first-rate sect!

In such a good situation, how could she just give up? She didn't want to abdicate at all!

Thinking of this, Miejue said unhappily:

"Why does Mr. Su say that?"

"Who succeeds Emei is a matter for my Emei leader; it's not for a fortune-teller like you to decide!"

"Besides, how can I allow you to interfere in my Emei's internal affairs!"

Abbess Miejue was never a person with a good temper; bringing Zhou Zhiruo to have her fortune told and listening to Su Hang's "nonsense" was already giving him a lot of face.

Besides the two things she hated most in her life, there was another: others insulting Emei and pointing fingers at the Emei Sect.

Back at the inn, just because a few guests complained about Emei, they had their limbs broken by Abbess Miejue.

As for those Ming Sect disciples who insulted Emei, Abbess Miejue would not show mercy and would immediately strike with fierce palm force, sending them to the west.

This was Miejue's principle and one of her bottom lines.

But at this very moment, Su Hang publicly predicted the next leader of the Emei Sect and even said she would abdicate within a year.

For Abbess Miejue, this was no longer just an insult; it was a curse.

And as someone who had long been famous in the Wu Lin, how could Abbess Miejue tolerate a small fortune-teller interfering?

Originally, she found Su Hang displeasing, and now that Su Hang said this, it gave Miejue a reason to explode.

Besides, Su Hang's name was becoming bigger and bigger, and he was attracting more and more attention from the Wu Lin.

Even the influence and right to speak of sects like Emei and Kunlun could not compare to a fortune-teller.

In Abbess Miejue's heart, Su Hang was no different from those Fire-Worshipping cultists of the Ming Sect who acted crazy.

In a word, they were all Mo Sect, and they all needed to be cleared out in time.

The most critical thing was that if she could eliminate the fortune-teller before her in time, Emei's reputation in the Wu Lin would continue to rise.

By then, the entire Emei jumping out of the second-rate and joining the first-rate sects would be just around the corner.

Thinking of this, how could one not be excited and eager to try?

One must know that over these years, Abbess Miejue had relied on the word "exterminate demons" to reach her current status step by step.

This had almost formed a path dependency; how could it be something she could just quit?

It was just that facing Ming Sect disciples, Abbess Miejue could naturally draw her sword and kill without hesitation.

But facing Mr. Su of the Half-Moon Inn, Miejue had to be careful; after all, the Mr. Su before her was a master who had killed Murong Fu.

Precisely because of this, Abbess Miejue took this opportunity to send her good disciple Zhou Zhiruo to test the waters.

If Su Hang's Wu Gong was truly extremely high, then she could not take action; not only could she not take action, but she had to be respectful.

After all, although Miejue was overbearing, she knew her place in front of true powerhouses.

For ordinary Ming Sect disciples, she could naturally strike without hesitation, but facing elders above the Five Wanderers of the Ming Sect, Miejue would not easily form a feud.

When the Ming Sect leader Yang Dingtian was still alive, she was even extremely clever in avoiding conflict everywhere, appearing not to want to clash with him.

But the situation before her was completely different.

After this observation, Abbess Miejue was surprised to find that the Mr. Su who was rumored to be so miraculous did not know Wu Gong at all.

She stood on the side and observed carefully for a long time, only to find that there was not the slightest internal energy in Su Hang. ===== CHAPTER 401 =====
