Flying Dust Chapter 67:
Mo Feichen smiled and made a salute gesture towards Wang ShuZhen, “Since that is the case, I had no intention of taking the position of Palace Master of Xiu Shui Palace. Please choose the next Palace Master, and I will naturally return Palace Master Liu’s Sword Seed as well as the Xiu Shui Heart Sutra.”
Seeing him speak so frankly, Wang Shu Zhen and Liu Yue both froze.
On the contrary, Cheng Yuran appeared to be more composed as she walked in front of all the disciples, “All the Xiu Shui Palace disciples here, who can guarantee that after you obtaining the Sword Seed of the Liu Palace Master, you will not be robbed when you meet an expert such as Lu Zhao Xia?”
Everyone was quiet.
An ordinary person’s Sword Seed could only be taken by another expert unless he or she was completely losing his resistance capabilities; for example, He Yunfeng lying inside that ice coffin. If Li Bi Lian hadn’t woken up before forcing his sword-type to leave Qihai (Sea of Qi) with his inner strength, then He Yunfeng’s sword seed might have been taken away from him. However, if Li Bi Lian could not synchronize his inner strength with his own sword with a sword seed that did not belong to him for a short period of time, then he would not be able to keep it if he encountered someone with a higher level of inner strength (cultivation) than his own. This was the reason why Wen Qianliu was able to take the Thousand Cloud Sword from Dian Ling.
“What about Liu Yue? Do you think that if you get the Qing Luan Sword, can you guarantee that it won’t be snatched away by Great Hero Lu?” Cheng Yuran looked at Liu Yue, her gaze had a sense of heaviness to it.
“Senior Sister Cheng, why are you…” Wang Shu Zhen went up to her and seemed not quite satisfied with Cheng Yuran speaking to Liu Yue in such a tone.
“ShuZhen, this is not the time for us to cherish the younger generation. What’s the use of even if we have high hopes for Yue’er? She was not as good as Qing Yu after she took her sword out, and Young Hero Mo has given help to our Xiu Shui Palace on many occasions. When Palace Master Liu was still alive, she often sighed to the three of us, “Which disciple in the Xiu Shui Palace has half the qualifications of Young Master Mo? She doesn’t have to worry so much.” Cheng Yuran sighed, “To put it badly, Shu Zhen… you may not be Mo Shao Xia’s opponent. I wouldn’t be surprised if Master Liu passed the position of Palace Master to Mo Shao Xia.”
Hearing her say this, Wang Shu Zhen’s feelings of defending her shortcomings also calmed down and stood beside him in silence.
Liu Yue lowered her head, tears falling from her eyes, “I am just not convinced, if the Master passed the position of Palace Master to Qing Yu, I would have accepted. Why did it have to be an outsider? How much does he know about our Xiushui Palace?”
“You are so narrow minded, if I were Senior Sister Liu, this position of Palace Master would rather be passed on to Qing Yu than handed over to you. Your master has only been dead for a short while, and you have no respect for her legacy, and you don’t even think about the bigger picture. In the future, when a great enemy is at hand, I don’t think you have what it takes to be able to take it on.” Cheng Yuran turned back and bowed to Mo Feichen and said, “Since Senior Sister Liu passed down both the Qing Luan Sword and the Xiu Shui Heart Sutra to your hands, then I would like to ask Young Warrior Mo to take over the position of the Palace Master, and I also hope that you will be able to find out who killed Senior Sister Liu in order to comfort her soul in heaven.”
Since Cheng Yuran had recognized Mo Feichen, Chen Guanghan and Wang ShuZhen had nothing to say, and the other disciples paid their respects, “This disciples pay their respects to the Palace Master——”
For a moment, Mo Feichen was unable to react.
It was Lu Qingmo who patted him on the shoulder to bring him back to his senses.
“Thank you all, Mo Feichen will follow Palace Master Liu’s last order to stay in the position of Palace Master for a while, and after the murderer of Palace Master Liu is found out in the future, I will return Qing Luan Sword’s Sword Seed as well as the Xiu Shui Heart Sutra, and will not be greedy for the position of Palace Master.”
After this, Luo Qingyu began to write letters to inform the martial arts sects that Liu Feiying had passed away and Mo Feichen would be the successor or the Palace Master.
Wang Shu Zhen pulls over Cheng Yu Ran in the corridor and says, “Senior Sister, do you really support Mo FeiChen to be the Palace Master of our Xiushui Palace?”
“ShuZhen, one must look at the long term. I, Cheng Yu Ran, have been in Jiang Hu for so many years and have inspect countless people, I can see that this young hero Mo does not want to be the Palace Master, but think about it, his master is He Yun Feng, Lu Qingmo is extremely close to him, Senior Sister Liu also mentioned that even Great Monk Wu Liang is very fond of Mo FeiChen, if we establish Yue Er as the Palace Master, will Xiu Shui Palace still be stable as a Mount Tai (in Shandong Province: symbol of Great power or importance) in the future? Who will take us seriously amongst the other nine great swords in the martial arts?”
Wang Shu Zhen nodded.
“And he also said, if one day we elect someone else to be the Palace Master, he will return the Sword Seed and also the Heart Sutra, so many disciples in the Palace have heard it, how can this matter be false?” Wang ShuZhen looked at the slightly gloomy sky outside the window and said, “If he really does a good job, there’s no harm in doing it all the time. It’s better than the three of us still worrying about these untalented disciples before we close our eyes.”
Mo Feichen was arranged to go to Liu Feiying’s previous room.
