2009 Placing High Hopes on Chu Yunfan
âThat being said,â Zhangsun Yuan said, âIâm afraid Chu Yunfan will blame us for not taking care of the External Army and letting it fall into Li Qianyuanâs hands. Arenât you afraid that he will resent us?â
Situ Xuan laughed. âWhatâs there to be afraid of? If heâs really like this, then Iâve misjudged him. However, Iâve never misjudged him in my life.â
Zhangsun Yuan smiled and didnât refute. Everyone knew that Chu Yunfanâs actions this time were so intense because he was expressing his dissatisfaction. However, he didnât choose to express his dissatisfaction at the Flying Celestials. Instead, he announced his return by uprooting the Li clan.
After all, every injustice had its perpetrator, and the Flying Celestials werenât the ones who attacked the External Army. In fact, if it werenât for the Flying Celestials, the Li clan could easily wipe out the entire army by sending them to the most dangerous battlefield. The Li clan wouldnât have needed to do it themselves.
âAfter this incident, he will understand that if he wants to protect the people he cares about, he can only rely on himself. He canât rely on anyone else,â Situ Xuan said, âIf he dies, he wonât have any value, right?â
Situ Xuanâs voice was calm. To him, although Chu Yunfan was dissatisfied with the Flying Celestialsâ policy of letting the External Army roam freely, he would eventually understand that this was a matter of course.
This was reality and the iron rule of the world!
Only by living and showing enough value would one be able to make the Flying Celestials view them in a different light. Once they died, they would be like an extinguished lamp. They would be nothing.
This iron rule was not only targeted at Chu Yunfan but also at him. Although he was now the supreme sect leader of the Flying Celestials and one of the few big figures in Grand Xia, once he died, he would at most be the same as the past sect leaders who had passed away. He would only be a legendary figure in history. Soon, his influence would dissipate. When a person died, it was like a lamp being extinguished. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. This was the principle.
âSo, heâs just throwing a tantrum, thatâs all,â Situ Xuan said indifferently, âIf he canât even understand this, then my efforts to nurture him will be in vain.â
âWhat do you want to do, sir? To promote him as the chief disciple?â Zhangsun Yuan said.
âNo, I want him to be a vice sect leader.â Situ Xuan frowned.
âVice sect leader? Isnât that a position that only the chief disciple can sit in?â Zhangsun Yuan was shocked by Situ Xuanâs thoughts.
Generally speaking, only after the older generation successively retired from the management level and the new generation became the pillar of support would the best of them have the possibility of becoming the vice sect leader. However, there was an exception. After a certain degree of experience, the chief disciple of a sect could become a vice sect leader. Once they were appointed as a vice sect leader, it was almost confirmed that he was the future successor of the sect leader.
In Zhangsun Yuanâs original opinion, Yang Dengxian would become the next vice sect leader, but that would only happen decades later when Yang Dengxianâs cultivation base had further developed. After that, Situ Xuan entrusted all the matters in the sect to Yang Dengxian, and he himself would gradually withdraw from the management level. He would focus on cultivating and breaking through to reach the supreme stage. However, Situ Xuanâs actions were clearly beyond his expectations.
âThatâs right. Originally, I was more satisfied with Yang Dengxian becoming my successor. He was the most suitable candidate, but now, I think Chu Yunfan is more suitable.â Situ Xuanâs eyes were ablaze.
Zhangsun Yuan naturally understood why Situ Xuan suddenly changed his mind. Although Chu Yunfanâs performance was extremely amazing, he was not much better than Yang Dengxian. Compared to Yang Dengxianâs years of management, the position of the chief disciple was deeply rooted. Chu Yunfan could not shake Yang Dengxianâs position in a short period.
However, the situation had changed drastically. Chu Yunfan had killed Li Qianyuan and displayed his extraordinary strength. Even the previous number-one prodigy, Li Weiyuan, had died at Chu Yunfanâs hands.
Compared to Yang Dengxian, Chu Yunfanâs talent was obviously stronger, and his strength had already surpassed Yang Dengxian by several levels. In the future, when Chu Yunfan grew up, his future was limitless, and he even had the chance to become one of the strongest in the world. It had been many years since the Flying Celestials had produced such a character.
âBut in comparison, Chu Yunfan doesnât seem to have much sense of belonging to the Flying Celestials, and he doesnât want to get involved in the competition for the position of chief disciple,â Zhangsun Yuan furrowed his brows as he recalled the analysis of the information he had read.
Ever since Chu Yunfan entered the Flying Celestials, he had been wandering outside of the system. It was obvious that there was a huge gap between him and Yang Dengxian, who was one of his own.
âA sense of belonging can be slowly cultivated. Is he going to return to the Violet Thunder Prefecture to become the head of the Chu clan?â Situ Xuan smiled faintly. âMoreover, there are many times when he doesnât even need to manage worldly affairs. His existence is the greatest deterrence.â
âAs for Yang Dengxian, I want to train him to be a vice sect leader as well. He will be in charge of all the matters in the sect and assist Chu Yunfan in bringing the Flying Celestials to a higher level,â Situ Xuan said.
Zhangsun Yuan immediately understood that Situ Xuan was using Chu Yunfan as a deterrent. If a genius like Chu Yunfan was nurtured into an existence like an ordinary sect leader, it would be a waste of heavenâs gift. Letting Chu Yunfan and Yang Dengxian cooperate was the most suitable path.
Chu Yunfan didnât even need to participate in the management of the sect affairs. As long as he continued to cultivate, the Flying Celestials would become stronger because of his strength. It was not uncommon for a person to prosper in a sect in Grand Xia.
âHowever, this is still a long-term plan. Iâll pass down the order to appoint him as a vice sect leader first. As for the matters after that, weâll have to think about it later,â Situ Xuan said, âMoreover, the Grand Commandantâs Office should be rewarding him soon. Even if someone tries to stop him, I donât think the Elder Princess will let him do as he wishes. After all, our Chu Yunfan is the fiance of her last disciple, Princess Gushe. If Chu Yunfan doesnât get a marquis title, wouldnât that be a huge joke?â
âHahaha, not bad. Then heâs the true number one of the younger generation!â Zhangsun Yuan thought for a moment and couldnât help but clap his hands and laugh.
Now that Li Qianyuan was dead, wasnât Chu Yunfan the only marquis of the younger generation?
Just as the Flying Celestialsâ sect leader and the chief grand elder were discussing Chu Yunfan, Chu Yunfan was sitting high up in the commanderâs office in Baotai.
