Main Text Chapter 873 Perhaps Different Paths Lead to the Same Destination

Regarding this matter, it is false to say that no one wants to be the heir to the head. Once he becomes the heir to the head, his status in the Zhengqi Sect is second only to the disciples of the Lingzi generation. It can also be said that he ranks fourth in the Zhengqi Sect.

Once the future leader has achieved enough cultivation, he will take over the position of the leader of the Zhengqi Sect after ascending to heaven.

Deming felt excited. These people were about to go to the branches below. They would all be under his control later on. He couldn't let himself be in charge of the heir to the head. If he suddenly mentioned this matter at this time, could it be that the head wanted to do this? Is it time to help yourself to the top?

From time to time, I look at you and me, and I look at your brothers and sisters.

None of the twelve newly promoted Golden Lotus disciples said anything, and it was not good to say anything about this matter first.

Miao Yi, who was sitting aside with a cup of tea, secretly felt amused at the reactions of these people. He turned around and stretched out the empty tea cup to signal to Baolian, who was standing against the wall behind. Baolian immediately came over to help him refill the tea cup and serve it to him. .

Miao Yi, who took the tea cup again, smiled and said: "Master, I'm afraid it's hard to choose from such an infallible novel. You have to give everyone a standard for selection."

Master Yuxu nodded slightly, "Choose the one you think has the strongest ability."

Miao Yi then said, "If we choose the one with the strongest ability, Taoist Deming has done a great job in running Zhengqi Grocery Store, and his ability is obvious to everyone. I think everyone has a favorable impression of Taoist Deming. If I were to choose, I would definitely choose Deming." Master Ming."

Taoist Master Deming immediately glanced at him gratefully, and respectfully raised his hands and said: "The layman is so complimentary. The layman laid the foundation earlier. If the layman had not opened up the situation, Zhengqi Grocery Store would not be what it is today. How dare Deming take credit." It's like reciprocating love.

He even felt a little guilty in his heart, because he was working together with Huangfu Junyan to plot against Miao Yi, and he was thinking about turning around if it didn't work. If people treat you like this, you will feel uneasy if you try to trick others again.

Of course, this is just a momentary thought of gratitude. How to deal with it when you calm down is another matter.

Miao Yi said cheerfully: "Taoist Master Deming, it's your credit that's your credit. There are some things that you should do without giving up. There's nothing to deny. Of course. I'm just expressing my personal opinion. I, a guest, will not interfere in the inheritance of the Zhengqi Sect. It’s up to you to make your own decision, but I personally think Taoist Master Deming is quite suitable. What do you think?”

This makes it clear that it is better to speak for Deming. Everyone is not a fool, so of course they will hear it. Deming naturally heard it. Another grateful glance at him.

Master Yuxu doesn’t make any noise. Nor did he comment on this.

Baolian, who was standing against the wall, said nothing. She just looked at her father's nervous reaction from time to time, and then looked at Miao Yi, who was sitting leisurely with a cup of tea. She felt that Miao Yi was watching the excitement. She had always paid more attention to Miao Yi and could sense some differences in Miao Yi's attitude towards things. Miao Yi's reaction made her vaguely feel that something was wrong.

According to her judgment, she didn't want to talk about anything else, as long as it was something inside the Zhengqi grocery store. Once Miao Yi intervenes, something will happen. It has always been like this... women's minds are more delicate and sensitive.

As for Deming’s brothers and sisters. I was actually muttering in my heart, and had the same guess as Deming. The headmaster suddenly did this at this time, and they all felt that the headmaster was suspected of helping his son to rise to power. However, the headmaster's behavior should not be like this normally, so that everyone would not Easy to say.

Miao Yi was the first to speak out and point the way. If the choice was based on ability, everyone would have to admit Deming's contribution and achievements over the years, which made everyone benefit from it, and one after another they expressed their opinions.

"I recommend Senior Brother Deming."

"I also recommend Senior Brother Deming!"

"I recommend Junior Brother Deming!"

After the eleven people expressed their opinions, they all unanimously elected Deming. Deming was excited, but he still held his hands towards Master Yuxu with a serious face and said, "I recommend Senior Brother Dezheng!"

In this case, it is a sure thing that everyone has recommended me. If I recommend myself again, only a fool can do it. It would be shameless. At least the moral integrity of the heir to the head should be shown at this time. , this sect does not belong to their family, and the succession of the head position from father to son is inherently easy to attract criticism.

Master Yuxu's eyes slowly swept over everyone, nodded and said: "Deming!"

"Disciple is here!" Deming responded quickly.

Master Yuxu asked: "Are you willing to comply with everyone's wishes?"

Deming hesitated for a while and replied: "Since you have so much trust in me, I dare not let you down, and I will work hard for the Zhengqi Sect from now on!"

"In this case, let everyone agree and leave it to the master to make the final decision!" After Master Yuxu made the decision, he sighed again: "Deming, the master has made an explanation before, and it is impossible for the entire Zhengqi Sect to be full of people. They all ran to do business, especially the heir to the head. As the heir to the head, it was priority to be familiar with the things of the righteous sect, so the head of the family issued a strict order. After recommending the heir to the head, he immediately ordered him to quit doing business and give up his business. All business rights will be handed over to others, and the recommended person will immediately return to school to take the exam!"

There was silence in the room, and everyone was stunned. Deming suddenly raised his head and looked at Master Yuxu. He hesitated to speak for a while, but couldn't say a word?

say what? It is everyone's intention to recommend him, and he is the one who is willing to accept everyone's recommendation. He cannot go back on his word and give up the position of heir to the head just because he wants to take away his business rights. What is the position of being the heir to the head?

He never thought of such a back-up plan. Who said that after becoming the heir to the head, you must give up your business rights? But who stipulates that the heir to the head can also have business rights? If he becomes the heir to the throne and continues to fight for the business power of the family, what will all the brothers think of him?

He just couldn't say anything for himself about this matter. At this moment, he vaguely realized something and turned his head to look at Miao Yi. But Miao Yi was holding a tea cup and drinking tea slowly, not looking at his Deming's eyes. Any reaction. Miao Yi would speak for him before, but now he pretends not to see it.

Palace Master Miao Da came from the officialdom of the small world. In the face of this kind of struggle, it is nothing to play this trick. When it is time to pretend to be confused, he is not ambiguous at all.

"Yes!" Deming finally accepted the order bitterly.

Master Yuxu said: "You have left business and are going back to normal. The merchant list you have accumulated over the years... is the thing in duplicate. Hand it over! Your brothers and sisters will use it!"

As soon as he heard this, Deming realized more clearly that this matter was related to Miao Yi. The thing that was made in duplicate was what Miao Yi had ordered him to do, and only Miao Yi knew about it. Looking at Miao Yi again, Miao Yi was still drinking tea with his head down and his face expressionless.

What else could Deming say? Don't you take it out for your brothers and sisters to use? Isn't that a deliberate attempt to undermine the brothers?

"Yes!" Deming swallowed dryly, took out a storage ring, and said with a wry smile: "I only have one copy of the stuff on me, and the other one is hidden downstairs."

After Master Yuxu took the thing in his hand. He tilted his head and shouted, "Junior Brother!"

Outside the door, two people suddenly walked in. Master Yu Lian didn't know when he came, and he was accompanied by Cross Eyes, who was in charge of the planting of the Zhengqi Gate Spirit Grass. He was also an old acquaintance with Miao Yi, and they often drank together in the past.

"Accompany Deming to get the things." Master Yuxu said.

Master Yu Lian stretched out his hand. Deming lowered his head and turned around.

Faced with this sudden and long-planned attack. He instantly understood that he had lost, and his attempt to coerce the leader and others by taking advantage of the people's support had failed. Faced with the counterattack from the leader and the others, he didn't even have the strength to fight back. Throwing a 'heir to the leader' onto him made him unable to say anything. This blow was a ruthless and accurate blow, killing him in one fell swoop. His years of attempts came to naught.

It was only then that everyone realized something was wrong. Why did the uncle come to accompany him personally to pick up something? Why didn’t we know when Uncle Jade Master was coming? But everyone still didn’t know what happened, they just felt something was wrong.

Things were quickly retrieved from below. It was handed over to the hands of Master Yuxu. Master Yuxu took out the jade plates inside the two storage rings and checked them one by one. After confirming that they should be these things, he put them away again and said: "Junior brother, please escort Deming back to Zhengqimen. Don't let anything go on the way." If something goes wrong, let’s go now!”

He didn't even give Deming a chance to stay and pack his things. It could also be said that in order to prevent him from tipping off the information and then counterattacking, Master Yu Lian personally took him away directly. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was escorted away. .

Seeing her father being taken away with a sad face, Baolian lowered her head silently and sighed quietly. As the granddaughter of the head of the family and the daughter of Deming, she naturally knows more things when she is close, otherwise she would not have known it at the beginning. Remind Miao Yi to be careful about Huangfu Junyan.

She knew in her heart that it was her grandfather who took action. One was her grandfather and the other was her father. No matter which side she was on, it would be bad.

Master Yuxu said again: "De Zheng."

"Disciple is here!" Dezheng stood up immediately.

Yuxu said: "From today on, you will take over as the shopkeeper of Zhengqi Grocery Store here. You must do your best."

"Yes!" As expected, this eldest brother among them took on the important responsibility first.

"From now on, I will personally take charge of the affairs of each branch of Zhengqi Grocery Store. Before the branch opens, and before everyone goes to the branch to take charge, everyone must be modest and prudent and study hard." Yuxu solemnly warned everyone.

"Yes!" All the disciples stood up and accepted the order.

Miao Yi, who was holding a tea cup on the side, breathed a sigh of relief. After these people were calmed down, the people below could not make trouble. After all, almost all the disciples under the Zhengqi Sect were from these people. Deming wanted to join forces with Huangfu Junyan again. It's unlikely that anything could happen to the Zhengqi Gate. Then there will be enough time and a stable situation for Head Yuling and others to rectify the righteousness.

When the group of people dispersed, Pauline lowered her head and silently followed them away, leaving only two people in the room.

Master Yuxu walked to the window with his hands behind his hands and sighed, "Actually, Deming has put in a lot of effort to make Zhengqi Grocery Store what it is today, and it is indeed due to Zhengqimen, but it just went astray."

Miao Yi conveniently placed the teacup in his hand on the coffee table, stood up and walked behind him, "It's hard to tell who is right and who is wrong in this kind of thing. Deming has his own considerations. The real person and the masters have other considerations. There is consideration, everyone has the same goal, they all want to be good, but they don't agree with the path that the other party is taking. The leader and Zhenren think that righteousness should take precedence over business, while Deming believes that commerce should take precedence over righteousness. They are two routes that may lead to the same goal, but they are difficult to reconcile. Neither side can convince the other, so the only way is to decide the outcome through struggle. The loser will be Deming, and I happen to be on the side of the leader! " (To be continued...)
