I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Song Qingshu looked at Xiao Zhao. The dim candlelight seemed to have spread a veil over her face, and she looked like a fairy in a painting. The chaotic thoughts in his mind were swept away, and he smiled and said, "Why didn't you sleep either?"

Xiao Zhao blinked and smiled: "I am a little maid who serves the young master. How can I sleep if the young master doesn't sleep?"

Yes, and there is Xiao Zhao, the girl whose heart and eyes are filled with him, and he cannot let her down no matter what.

"Xiao Zhao, have you ever been to Huashan before?"

Seeing Song Qingshu asking questions, Xiao Zhao shook his head and said, "No, I haven't even been to the Central Plains very often."

"Well, the moonlight is nice tonight. I'll take you to the top of Jade Maiden Peak to have a look."

The two of them left as soon as they said they would, and after leaving Zhengqitang, they went straight out of the mountain gate. Feng Changshu, who was in charge of night patrol, naturally would not stop them.

This was the first time for the two of them to travel alone, and the graceful moonlight made the scene even more ambiguous, just like a man and woman having a tryst. Xiao Zhao's hand, held by Song Qingshu, was sweating from nervousness, but she was reluctant to let go.

We walked all the way to the top of the mountain. We found that the Jade Maiden Temple, which we thought was abandoned, was still there. Besides, apart from some fallen leaves and dust, there were no signs of disrepair. I guess it was maintained by the people from Huashan Sect from time to time.

"This Jade Maiden Temple has a very moving legend. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Xiao Shi who was good at playing the flute, and he attracted the love of Qin Mu Gong's daughter, Nong Yu."

"Nongyu left behind the royal family's wealth and splendor, married Xiao Shi, and together they came to Yunv Peak to live in seclusion."

Xiao Zhao listened to Song Qingshu's eloquent talk, and saw his handsome face. She felt her body light and her head dizzy. She only hoped that this moment would last forever.

After Song Qingshu finished talking about the Jade Maiden Temple, he took Xiao Zhao to see the Cliff of Repentance. The three words "Cliff of Repentance" that he carved with a sword in the past have been re-copied countless times over the years, and they are still deeply engraved in the wood.

The two walked and stopped, looking at the top of the Jade Maiden Peak in the soft moonlight, and finally sat down in front of the Jade Maiden Temple hand in hand, feeling the warmth from each other's palms, with peace and tranquility in their hearts.

"Sir, can Xiao Zhao sing a song for you?"

"Okay, since it's Xiao Zhao singing, it must be very nice."

Xiao Zhao tapped the five fingers of her right hand gently on the ground, and sang leisurely: "The world is based on physics, and life is about being content."

"Underground in the southeast, sky high in the northwest, time is rushing by, water is flowing."

The next morning, Song Qingshu got up early, washed up, and went straight to Zhengqi Hall.

Xiao Zhao served beside him holding the sword of the Heavenly Sword, while Xu Zhuo and others stood on his left and right. Although they were still young, they had a calm and dignified air.

"Master, Elder Yue and Elder He have arrived outside the mountain gate and will soon come to the Righteousness Hall to pay their respects."

"it is good."

Not long after, Yue Yuntao and He Songyan, along with a group of Huashan Sect disciples, entered the mountain gate under the guidance of Cao Chengping.

The two of them had already enrolled in the Huashan Sect to learn martial arts when they were young. Now, they are about to reach the age of sixty, and can be said to be familiar with every tree and blade of grass in the Jade Maiden Peak and the Huashan Sect.

At this time, I had to ask an outsider to lead the way, which naturally made me feel uncomfortable, and I had a vague feeling that something big was going to happen.

As for the other Huashan disciples, they were all very nervous. In the past few months, major events happened one after another in the sect. Although the Huashan Sect was not a rat crossing the street, it was also in pieces and it was difficult to regain its former prestige. Xian Yutong, who was being held captive, was poisoned by the golden silkworm Gu. Although he took the antidote, his meridians were damaged and his martial arts were only at the second level. He was reduced from the head of the sect to a prisoner. He only wanted to die early and be reborn early. Instead, he looked calm and calm.

"Master, the people have arrived."

Yue Yuntao was walking in front of the crowd. After entering Zhengqi Hall, he was stunned when he saw Song Qingshu standing in the middle like a moon surrounded by stars.

Then he heard Cao Chengping addressing Song Qingshu as the head of the sect, and his heart suddenly sank. He didn't know what to do for a moment.

After parting in Xianyang City last time, Yue Yuntao and the others returned to Huashan and followed Song Qingshu's advice. They did not stay on the Yunu Peak for too long. They only let a few clever disciples guard the mountain gate, and the rest of them went to settle in Huayin County.

But half a month ago, a large group of martial artists suddenly went up to the Jade Maiden Peak and said that they had received news that the Demon Cult would come to Huashan Sect to seek revenge soon.

The Five Gangs and Thirteen Associations, led by the Beggars' Sect, came to help the Huashan Sect to fight the enemy out of friendship among fellow martial artists. But afterwards, they didn't care whether the few disciples guarding the mountain agreed or not, and hundreds of people directly stayed in the Huashan Sect.

Yue Yuntao was furious when he got the news, but he had previously traveled to Kunlun Mountain in the Western Regions to encircle and suppress the Ming Cult. All the masters of the sect were sent out, a group of them died in the Battle of Bright Summit, and another group of them escaped on the way back to the Central Plains.

In the end, these were the only ones left. Because they had been traveling and fighting hard all the way, they were either injured and had not yet recovered, or had fallen ill. It was really difficult for them to compete with the other side, and they could only grit their teeth and endure temporarily.

Until yesterday, the disciples who were outside gathering information came back and said that most of the people from the Five Gangs and Thirteen Societies were killed or injured, and they ran down the Jade Maiden Peak in disgrace.

Then a man named Cao Chengping came to them and said that he was ordered by Song Qingshu to ask them to return to Yunu Peak early the next morning to discuss matters.

"Young Master Song, we will remember your great kindness to Huashan Sect, but it is not appropriate for you to take the position of the head of Huashan Sect."

During the rest period in Huayin County, Yue Yuntao, who finally had some free time, finally figured out one thing: although Song Qingshu had obtained the Huashan Patriarch Order, he was also the only candidate to be the next leader of the Wudang Sect.

Therefore, the leader of the Huashan Sect will most likely not be taken seriously by Song Qingshu. As for the favors owed, no matter whether they are for money or things, he will try his best to satisfy them.

But now seeing Song Qingshu behaving like this, it seems that he doesn't take him, Yue Yuntao, or the entire Huashan Sect seriously at all. How can he just let it go?

"Seeing Master Lingru of Mount Hua in person, do you want me to say it a second time?"

Song Qingshu took out the Huashan Patriarch's Order again. He Songyan and some Huashan disciples who had already sincerely convinced Song Qingshu, immediately knelt down and bowed respectfully, calling him the Master.

"Master, please accept our disciples' greetings!"

Yue Yuntao's face turned red and white when he saw this. In terms of martial arts, he was no match for Song Qingshu. But seeing the position of the head of the Huashan Sect fall into the hands of an outsider, how could he swallow this?
"Young Master Song!"

Yue Yuntao shouted loudly, suppressing the voices of others, "In terms of intelligence and martial arts, I, Yue Wu, am not as good as you, but since you are a disciple of Wudang Sect, you should not be the head of Huashan Sect!"

"Then according to Elder Yue's opinion, who would be the most appropriate person to take the position of the head of the sect?"

The most powerful person in Huashan Sect since Xian Yutong is the elder Yue Yuntao. Normally, after Xian Yutong abdicates, he will naturally take over.

But he couldn't say this himself. After a moment of silence, he shouted, "Of course, we should choose a candidate with both moral integrity and talent from among the Huashan disciples. Even if he is not as good as Young Master Song, it is still legitimate!" (End of this chapter)
