Yu Zhenzi’s expression remained unchanged. In his view, since the old Celestial Master had already nodded his agreement, this matter should have been a sure thing. He was surprised that they had bumped into an obstacle, which had cost him face.

Yu Yangzi nodded and did not deny it either, “My master did bring up this matter. I am not against it, but I require a guarantee from all of you.”

He was persistent and had his reasons for wanting this, even if it meant potentially being punished by the old Celestial Master afterwards.

Pei Xuanjing understood now and spoke plainly, “It seems that you are worried that we might go back on our word?”

On the utterance of this, Yu Yangzi’s face shifted slightly, as he had not expected Pei Xuanjing to lay bare this concern so directly.

“You!” Yu Zhenzi’s face turned slightly cold. If it were not for the fact Pei

Xuanjing was present here and this was Dragon Tiger Mountain, with the next Celestial Master being from the latter’s ranks, he would have taken action already.

For Yu Zhenzi, the identity of the successor of the Shenxiao lineage had given him the strength to survive through many difficult days. Bringing up these subjects was an immense insult.

Pang Hong’s face subtly changed as well. He cared more about the suspicion being cast upon his teacher.

Qingyang Zi, on the other hand, had an epiphany and his expression turned strange, clearly recalling something.

Pei Xuanjing raised his hand to stop Yu Zhenzi from becoming further enraged, and he smiled lightly, “I absolutely won’t repeat the mistakes of the past. I wonder, are you willing to believe me?”

The truth was that Yu Yangzi’s current behavior reflected his ultimate fear of the Shenxiao lineage that Pei Xuanjing represented.

What Pei Xuanjing referred to as “the past” were incidents that had happened two hundred years ago involving the actions of a few individuals from the Shenxiao Sect.

Normally, the Shenxiao Sect should have a close relationship with Dragon

Tiger Mountain, dating back since its establishment. Even when Jinmen’s Feather Guest led Shenxiao rise and competed with Dragon Tiger Mountain for the leadership of the Taoist School, the two sects never had any major conflicts in the end.

Until two hundred years ago, when Shenxiao wanted to implement the

Godsealing Plan once again, apart from allying with the True Martial Sect and Bai Xiaosheng, they naturally wouldn’t have missed out on roping in Dragon Tiger Mountain.

However, not only did they make mistakes, but they also almost dragged Dragon Tiger Mountain into the mess. In the end, Dragon Tiger Mountain suffered a silent loss.

Given the lessons of that day, Yu Yangzi wouldn’t recklessly repeat those mistakes today and chose to exercise carefully.

He wanted Chunyang Sect and Baiyun Temple to join, not only to watch out for the Shenxiao lineage, but also to share the risks.

Qingyang Zi interjected, “The collapse of Shenxiao was karma. You should understand that although Longevity inherited Shenxiao’s legacy, he is not an ungrateful person. Why do you need to be so suspicious?”

He paused before adding, “Look at us. Even for the True Martial Sect, we can only control one state. If we invite the other two sects to join, the distribution becomes thinner and thinner. It won’t benefit anyone.”

Originally, with the strength of their three sects, they could have accomplished this matter. The addition of Dragon Tiger Mountain was just to share risks and prepare for possible accidents.

But if they were to rope in Chunyang Sect and Baiyun Temple, it would inevitably cause a situation of too many monks and not enough porridge.

“You make a good point. hilt we must have some assurance for Dragon Tiger

Mountain.”

Yu Yangzi also understood the situation and looked to Pei Xuanjing, waiting for his response.

He needed a guarantee that Dragon Tiger Mountain would not repeat past mistakes.

Seeing Yu Yangzi’s reply, Qingyang Zi understood that Yu Yangzi had been persuaded. He turned to Pei Xuanjing and said, “Longevity, what do you think?” At that moment, all eyes were on Pei Xuanjing, waiting for his decision.

Pei Xuanjing was quickly weighing the options in his mind.

After a while, he finally spoke, “Then let’s proceed as you suggested.”

Qingyang Zi nodded and said, “Yu Yangzi, since Longevity has spoken, why not let True Martial Sect guarantee it. Our reputation should be trustworthy enough for you!”

Yu Yangzi slightly frowned. Given Qingyang Zi^t s stance, he couldn’t say much more. If he kept insisting, it wouldn’t be appropriate.

“Since True Martial Sect is willing to guarantee, then I will naturally agree.” Seeing Yu Yangzi finally relent, a sense of relief spread across everyone’s faces.

But, Pei Xuanjing broke into their joy.

“I believe there may be a misunderstanding,” he said, his voice reaching their ears and halting their laughter. They all looked at him confused.

Qingyang Zi asked, “Is there something wrong?”

Pei Xuanjing shook his head. “What I meant was that we should follow Yu Yangzi’s suggestion and invite Baiyun Temple and Chunyang Sect to join our plan. ”

“Don’t act out of spite, Longevity.”

“Grandmaster! ”

“My friend?”

There was a look of surprise on everyone’s faces.

Even Yu Yangzi, who had initially proposed this plan, seemed confused. He didn’t understand why Pei Xuanjing would make such a statement.

Pei Xuanjing raised his hand to stop the questions that were about to be asked, and calmly stated, “If there isn’t enough land in one state to share among us, then why not expand the area?”

An area of one state is too small, why not enlarge the scope?

They all frowned upon hearing this with uncertain glances flashing in their eyeS.

It’s not that what Pei Xuanjing said was wrong, but that it was easier said than done.

“Not only should we invite Baiyun Temple and Chunyang Sect to join, we should also include the other major Taoist sects.” Pei Xuanjing’s offhanded comment felt like a bolt of lightning to all present.

Has he gone mad?!

Pei Xuanjing turned to the group, “Why not use this opportunity to reorganize the Taoist School, and take the lead in the future?”
