My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 213 Who! Is capable of taking on the responsibility?

"Hello, elders and disciples. I have called you here today to announce an important matter."

Chi Xiaowen sat high in the main seat and looked around. Everyone on both sides stopped talking and turned their eyes to him.

"It's like this. I'm old and I feel I can no longer serve as the head of the sect, so I want to choose a successor..."

"The people who have reached the Perfection of the Refining Void and the Hedao are already over 3,000 years old, and it's only been a few years and you're already saying you're almost there... If you want to retire, just say you're old, what a hypocrite~"

A voice with a hint of resentment rang out. Although the voice was not loud, everyone present was not an ordinary person, and almost everyone heard it.

So the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed subtly. Some people sat upright with their mouths turned down, while others lowered their eyes and eyebrows to show that they heard nothing.

The fifth elder raised her orchid finger in front of her mouth and smiled gently, showing her charm.

Zi Ran lowered her head and her shoulders trembled slightly.

Jiang Yan looked calm: Why are you all looking at me? I didn't say anything, so don't look at me?

"Ahem! Those are just floating clouds. Even more than three thousand years old is still floating clouds."

"The main reason this time is that I have found a chance to become an immortal. I hope to break through the realm and become a true immortal."

Everyone present suddenly looked serious.

What? The headmaster is about to break through! So amazing?!

Then Chi Xiaowen said:

"In fact, I should have gone into seclusion more than ten years ago to follow that opportunity to comprehend the way to immortality, but it was delayed for some reason."

Having said that, he glanced at Jiang Yan meaningfully.

Jiang Yan still looked calm and didn't care about my concern.

"So I called you all here today to discuss the successor of the headmaster~ After I go into seclusion, there will be someone to take charge of the Ancient Immortal Sect."

"What do you think?"

After these words were spoken, a supreme elder with an old face but bright eyes spoke first.

"Good~ The time required for the master to break through the fairyland in seclusion must be calculated in years, so I support the master's opinion~"

"We are the same. The Immortal Sect cannot be without a master for a day. There should be an heir."

"Disciple supports the master..."

Seeing that no one objected, Chi Xiaowen chuckled twice and immediately made the final conclusion:

"Haha, since no one objects, that's good."

"In that case, I will appoint Jiang Yan as the next headmaster. From now on, he will temporarily take over the position of headmaster. The elders will support and help him. "

"Good~"

"So good!"

"Congratulations, Senior Brother~"

Everyone present seemed to have discussed it beforehand, and as soon as Chi Xiaowen finished speaking, they stood up and started celebrating.

Even the fifth elder sitting in the front bowed and congratulated Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan looked confused?

"No, what about the process? Aren't all these people here to participate in the election? How come they chose me directly?"

"And Zi Ran, why are you joining in the congratulations?!"

Zi Ran shrank his neck with an expression that said "My mission is accomplished."

It was not until this moment that Jiang Yan suddenly understood.

So that's it! So that's it! This was actually a setup for me? !

"I don't accept it!!"

"Resistance is useless~ Do you want to refute the headmaster in public~"

Jiang Yan unwillingly sent an internal message to Chi Xiaowen, and the other party responded with a helpless expression and waving his hands, which made Jiang Yan grit his teeth in anger!

Now that the matter is done, if we refute it in public, the impact will be quite large and it will damage the prestige of the leader.

So Jiang Yan can come here casually in private, but not in public. No disciple can refute the decision made by the leader of the Ancient Immortal Sect in person.

"Okay, old man, you're going to play like this, right?"

Jiang Yan said in his heart, then stood up and bowed to Chi Xiaowen.

"Thank you for your trust, Master. Thank you for your support. I, Jiang Yan, will definitely not let you down."

Chi Xiaowen nodded slightly, then took off the leader's ring and prepared for Jiang Yan to take it.

However, Jiang Yan didn't move at all.

"Hmm? Still have doubts~"

Jiang Yan stood up, and his aura poured out like water, sweeping across the entire place with a powerful pressure.

At the same time, the sky above the Linghua Palace seemed to have some sense, and gradually a thick layer of dark clouds gathered, with silver snakes dancing inside, and the aura of a violent thunderbolt was faintly looming.

When the disciples in the distance saw this, they took two steps back in shock.

"Is this... the aura of a thunder tribulation? Which senior is about to undergo the tribulation?"

“This location… could it be the thunder tribulation of a certain elder?!”

.........

Inside the palace.

Everyone looked horrified.

This was even more true for Le Rou beside him, with a look of deep desire in her eyes!

"Big Brother... so strong..."

Even Chi Xiaowen was a little surprised.

"Good boy, I didn't expect you to hide this trick from me~ But what does it matter? At most you can retreat for a few more decades to break through the realm, and after you come out of retreat, the position of the head of the sect is still yours. What can it change?"

But Shen Ming, who was at the back, had a strange look on his face.

This aura~seems to be one of the witch clan’s secret spells?

She learned this from Jiang Yan three years ago...

.........

Jiang Yan released this aura for only a moment before retracting it.

After calming down, Jiang Yan said loudly:

"My disciple has been close to a breakthrough recently. The reason he hasn't appeared in the past few years is because of this matter."

"So I may have to stay in seclusion for another 10 to 20 years. I'm afraid I won't be able to take over the position of the headmaster~"

But before Chi Xiaowen could say "Don't worry, it can be done in 20 years", Jiang Yan continued:

"But the Immortal Sect cannot be without a master for a day! Everyone agrees on this!"

"The Sect Master and I are both in seclusion, and there is no sign of our return. Who can take over the position of Sect Master temporarily?"

"I believe none of the elders have the energy to take on this role~"

The elders all turned their heads.

Don't look at me. I'm doing well as an elder. I eat and drink delicious food every day, I get paid and provided with offerings, and I don't have much work to do. Please don't ask me to take on the role of the head of the sect part-time.

Jiang Yan nodded with satisfaction.

"The elders are unwilling! So what about the disciples?"

All the disciples turned their heads at the same time.

Don't look at me. I don't want to commit suicide and bring bad luck upon myself. If I dare to go up and say that I want to be the head of the sect, I will be hung up and beaten by my master when I return.

Jiang Yan's mouth curled up, very good~

Chi Xiaowen felt something was wrong. He had a bad feeling in his heart. It seemed that things were developing in an uncontrollable direction.

"Then who else can take on this important task?"

"I!!"

Everyone was silent for a moment... They all turned their heads and cast their gazes towards the girl sitting at the back, Shen Ming.

"Who else is willing to work hard and tirelessly to seek benefits for the Ancient Immortal Sect?"

"I!"

Shen Ming spoke again.

The upper half of the elders' faces fell into darkness and they remained silent, even Chi Xiaowen was the same...

He really couldn't understand what Jiang Yan was going to do at this moment...
