    An exciting offer

    Last night, Qiu Yin’an indulged Wan Qiongju a little too much. The result of the indulgence was that his whole body was so weak that he felt as if his bones had been removed and his muscles were cramped.

    So at noon, Qiu Yin’an was still lazily sunk in the brocade quilt, not even having the strength to raise his hand to brush away the messy hair from his forehead. Qiu Yin’an felt that he really deserved it, and would always be soft-hearted and let Wan Qiongju do whatever he wanted.

    As soon as the infatuated boy saw Qiu Yin’an open his eyes this morning, he leaned over to him again, still wanting to be gentle with her. Qiu Yin’an couldn’t bear it anymore, so he gave Wan Qiongju an order to finish learning the magic book about barrier seals before he could come back and cuddle with him.

    Wan Qiongju saw Qiu Yin’an’s serious expression when he gave the order, so he did not dare to disobey. Without saying a word, he got dressed and went to the study to practice.

    Qiu Yin’an felt that he could not understand Wan Qiongju’s temper. Sometimes this young man was very obedient, and sometimes he was very stubborn.

    For example, last night, Qiu Yin’an told him to stop, but he didn’t listen. Now that he is being assigned homework, he can still be so obedient.

    The sealing technique is complicated and difficult to learn, and requires full concentration and study. In this way, Wan Qiongju has no time to stick to Qiu Yin’an all day long, and Qiu Yin’an can also have some time to think about things.

    It is not easy to expel Yu Jingyan from Miyun Pavilion and recover the elder’s jade tablet.

    When it comes to the removal of an elder, Elder Qianhe from the Secretary Pavilion must coordinate and coordinate.

    But Qiu Yin’an himself can act boldly and remove the son of a sect’s leader from the position of elder, but Elder Qianhe may not dare. This matter will be difficult to handle.

    How to convince Elder Qianhe was the first problem Qiu Yin’an faced.

    He wanted to meet his needs, but Elder Qianhe’s wish was probably just to secure his position as the elder of the Secretary Pavilion, so this method was not very feasible.

    Qiu Yin’an thought about it again, how about using some excuse to put pressure?

    But that is not a magnanimous journey, and the risks are high, so this method is not feasible.

    Qiu Yin’an stared at the gold-painted cloud patterns on the top of the bed for a long time, frowning so much that she could pinch a mosquito to death, and her mind turned over and over how to persuade Elder Qianhe to make her become his side, but she couldn’t think of a sure way.

    Just as he was frowning, the spirit fox outside the door swung his tail and slapped the door panel, “Master, Master, are you awake? Elder Qianhe wants to see you.”

    Qiu Yin’an’s thoughts were completely separated from the clouds of sorrow. He was surprised and excited. He didn’t know why Elder Qianhe came. Could it be that he could hear his own voice?

    Let’s not study these things for now, we have to go out and meet them.

    Qiu Yin’an stood up and lifted the quilt, and smoothed back the loose hair on his forehead. He shouted to Linghu outside the door and said: “Go and call Elder Qianhe, and ask Wan Qiongju to come over and help me wash up.”

    When Qiu Yin’an walked into the side hall, he saw Elder Qianhe frowning, curling up the corners of his mouth, staring blankly at the tea cup in his hand.

    Elder Qianhe was so lost in thought that she didn’t even notice that Qiu Yin’an had been standing in front of her for a long time.

    “Elder Qianhe.” Qiu Yin’an called her.

    Elder Qianhe suddenly came back to her senses, her fingertips twirling the rim of the lamp suddenly stopped, she stood up and bowed to Qiu Yin’an.

    Qiu Yin’an nodded slightly, moved to the pear wood chair at the main seat and sat down, followed by Elder Qianhe.

    Elder Qianhe: “Xianzun Muyang, you have been away from the Xishan Palace for so long, and you are finally back. The disciples of the Merit Pavilion went on a mission a while ago and brought back some herbs to help you practice. As usual, they have to be divided among the elders. I thought I would send them to you on the day you returned to the mountain, but it happened to snow and the road was slippery, so I sent them to you when the snow stopped. I happened to call some young disciples to come over and clear the snow for you.”

    Qiu Yin’an picked up the tea cup and took a sip, “The elders in the sect used to call me Young Master. This is the first time that people in the sect call me Mu Yang Xianzun after I was deposed.”

    The corners of Elder Qianhe’s lips twitched awkwardly, and he remained silent for a long time before saying, “You can’t help yourself – Young Master.”

    Qiu Yin’an’s hand holding the lamp paused, and he pinched the fingertips of the warm porcelain surface and pressed it. He continued: “I don’t have to bother Elder Qianhe to do these trivial things in person. Let’s be honest, why are you coming to me today?”

    Elder Qianhe’s eyelashes trembled lightly, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were twisted together anxiously. She said, “Does the young master know that Elder Jiaozhen was driven down the mountain?”

    Qiu Yin’an: “I just learned about this yesterday. I still want to ask you, how can you let Chen Liang go his own way?”

    Elder Qianhe: “He is in the position of Lord after all. How can we elders persuade him? If Young Master is not here, his rules are God’s.”

    Qiu Yin’an: “I will not let Chen Liang do whatever he wants. If he doesn’t follow the rules of Qingxuan Peak, he will definitely pay the price.”

    Elder Qianhe: “Not only that, Chenliang also wants to allocate half of the disciples who originally followed Elder Jiao Zhen to the shaman cultivator and half to Haidi. He also plans to select the best disciples from the respective elders to restore the sect for the shaman cultivator. These days, he is urging us to do it in the Secretary Pavilion.”

    Qiu Yin’an slammed the teacup on the table, “Chen Liang, this piece of shit, wants to use my Qingxuan Peak people to help the witch cultivator restore the sect. He is so brave.”

    Qiu Yin’an was so furious that his chest heaved violently with anger. He regretted that he had thought too much and didn’t kill Chen Liang directly with the soul-protecting lamp. He also imagined that Chen Liang could protect Qingxuan Peak’s status in the world of cultivation with him after he was forced to abdicate.

    Qiu Yin’an felt that he was stupid. He had given Chen Liang the opportunity to restore the sect for the witch cultivator who had a blood feud with him. Now Chen Liang had a shaman cultivator by his side, and he couldn’t kill him even if he wanted to. Moreover, Chang Chuan said that he had found the soul of the great witch master. All of these things were driving Qiu Yin’an to death.

    Qiu Yin’an’s throat tightened, and he clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white, and said: “If the witch cultivator is allowed to regain his strength, everything will be completely over. We must not let Chen Liang continue to act arbitrarily.”

    “That’s exactly what I mean.” Elder Qianhe said with a slightly trembling voice: “The disciples below will definitely not be willing to obey Chen Liang’s decision. Who is a good disciple of the Immortal Sect who is willing to get involved with a witch cultivator, let alone the elders.”

    Anger welled up in Qiu Yin’an’s eyes. He slapped the table and said, “Chen Liang still looks like a lord now. He doesn’t take Qingxuan Peak to heart in everything. He only cares about whether he can hold the power.”

    There was silence in the room, and Elder Qianhe’s eyes fell on Qiu Yin’an’s face. She slowly said: “Young Master, the position of Lord Chenliang is no longer suitable for him to sit down. It’s time for you to take power and succeed to the throne.”

    Qiu Yin’an’s clenched fist suddenly loosened, “Is this the intention of Elder Qianhe alone, or is it the intention of all the elders after discussion?”

    Elder Qianhe: “Before coming, I held a private meeting with a few reliable elders and made a decision together.”

    The elders of Qingxuan Peak have always stayed away from the struggle between Qiu Yin’an and Chen Liang. Now that Qiu Yin’an can get the help of the elders, he has won most of the battle to seize the throne. The remaining half will be driven out of Qingxuan Peak with his own hands.

    This big turn of events came so suddenly, Qiu Yin’an’s eyes lit up with a bright light, and he couldn’t believe how beautiful everything was. He took a deep breath, tightened his jaw and confirmed: “Elders, are you really willing to help me?”

    Elder Qianhe nodded slowly, with a look of concern in her eyes, and she said: “Young Master, please make sure to clean up Chenliang’s power, so as not to cause any future troubles.”

    Qiu Yin’an was so excited that his fingertips trembled slightly, “Elders, please rest assured that we will live up to our trust.”

    Elder Qianhe stood up and bowed solemnly, “Young Master, my future is entrusted to you.”
