Chapter 1201: Chapter 712 Junior Brother_3
Elder Master Xun deliberately sighed, “There’s no deeper aning, it’s just that I’m getting old and inevitably lack energy. Lately, I’ve been delving into the Heavenly Secret, and my Divine Sense has been depleted, leaving feeling sowhat weary.”
“There are too many classes on Formation, no ti to cover everything, so I might as well combine them into one big class and teach it all at once.”
Upon hearing this, the Taixu Sect Master felt sowhat distressed.
Elder Master Xun has truly devoted his life to Taixu Gate, sparing no effort.
The Taixu Sect Master softly said, “Why not let the Elders and Instructors within our sect handle the teaching of Tao? Elder, your status is revered, there’s no need for you to personally teach and lower yourself…”
“No!”
Elder Master Xun said sternly:
“Teaching and educating are the foundation of our Taixu Gate, whether it’s Foundation Establishnt or Feather Transformation, Instructor or Elder, regardless of the depth of Cultivation or the height of the position, everyone should focus primarily on teaching and take pride in educating. That is the duty of the Sect!”
“Even though I am old now, under no circumstances can this principle be compromised!”
Upon hearing this, the Taixu Sect Master felt a deep respect, imdiately stood up, and bowed ceremoniously, saying:
“Junior, respectfully adhering to the Elder’s teachings.”
Elder Master Xun stroked his beard, nodding in satisfaction.
After the matter was settled, Elder Master Xun left. But his words still echoed in the ears of the Taixu Sect Master.
The Taixu Sect Master pondered for a long ti, his emotions complex, sighing to himself:
“In today’s Cultivation World, whether it’s families or Sects, there are fewer and fewer people like Elder Master Xun with an open heart and a spirit of integrity…”
The Taixu Sect Master sighed, took a sip of tea, and suddenly paused, thought carefully, and then felt sothing strange.
This big class on Formation, why start it now and not earlier or later?
Although it’s for the purpose of teaching and educating, he always felt that Elder Master Xun might have a bit of personal motive.
But, Elder Master Xun being upright and possessing a clear conscience, what personal motive could he have?
The Taixu Sect Master shook his head after thinking about it.
It must be his own overthinking.
Elder Master Xun, being highly respected, wouldn’t deceive him.
…
After discussing with the Taixu Sect Master, the regulations for the Formation class were thus changed.
The next Formation class would start with a big class.
The location of the course was set in the largest Tao Teaching Room in the Tao Teaching Pavilion.
Elder Master Xun stood on the stage, and below him sat densely packed disciples, all from the sa cohort as Mo Hua, numbering over a thousand.
Elder Master Xun swept his gaze over the audience, speaking succinctly:
“From now on, the teaching of Formation will be conducted uniformly, with leading and Instructors assisting, and also…”
Elder Master Xun looked down, pointed with his hand, and said:
“Mo Hua.”
Mo Hua was taken aback.
Elder Master Xun continued: “…you will be the ‘Junior Brother’ for the Formation class! On regular days, when I’m not here, and Instructors aren’t here, you’re in charge.”
Mo Hua was caught off guard, a bit dazed.
Then he realized, at the sa ti, a thousand gazes, like arrows shot simultaneously, were all directed at him.
These gazes, so familiar, so unfamiliar, so shocked, so puzzled, so admiring, so skeptical, and many sowhat hostile.
They were all the true prodigies of the Taixu Gate, even though they were in the sa cohort, many were not familiar with Mo Hua.
With a “Junior Brother” suddenly appointed, how could they, with their proud temperants, endure it.
Mo Hua felt his scalp tingle under those gazes, his whole body uncomfortable.
Elder Master Xun ignored it and said to Mo Hua:
“Mo Hua, co up here.”
In front of everyone, Mo Hua felt imnse pressure, but still braced himself and stepped onto the stage, standing next to Elder Master Xun.
Elder Master Xun, with his white hair, gently patted Mo Hua’s shoulders and nodded slightly before pointing at Mo Hua and addressing the disciples below:
“From now on, he will be your ‘Junior Brother’.”
Before Mo Hua could speak, a disciple below could no longer restrain himself, stood up, and although still respectful, asked with a hint of anger:
“May I ask, Elder Master, is this an ‘inside decision’?”
Elder Master Xun nodded and said openly:
“Yes.”
The disciple was taken aback.
Seeing Elder Master Xun so frank, he didn’t know what to say anymore.
Another disciple stood up and said, “Elder Master, you are being ‘partial’, I cannot accept this!”
Elder Master Xun glanced at him lightly and said, “And then?”
“I…” The disciple hesitated and then with so pride said, “My great-grandfather is the Chief Elder of the Taixu Gate. I will report everything to him, informing him that you act unjustly, are partial and corrupt, misuse your authority, and disregard the rules…”
Elder Master Xun’s expression subtly changed, and he nodded slightly:
“Fine, go back and tell him, and have your Chief Elder great-grandfather co see tomorrow. We need to have a chat about what ‘rules’ are…”
The disciple faltered, then his mind started to doubt.
This Elder Master Xun, why isn’t he afraid at all…
Is he truly fearless, or is it a pretense, or is his seniority so extensive that even the great-grandfather dares not act against him?
It’s a pity, the great-grandfather never ntioned this Elder Master Xun before.
He also doesn’t know exactly what status Elder Master Xun holds within the Sect.
But he isn’t foolish, from the tone of Elder Master Xun, it’s obvious he doesn’t put his great-grandfather in his eyes, what if his real status is extrely high…
The disciple felt sowhat trembling inside.
I won’t… cause trouble for my great-grandfather, will I…
My great-grandfather won’t punish , will he…
The disciple lost his confidence and sat down obediently.
The other disciples also started to notice sothing amiss.
This usually ticulous Elder Master Xun, who only focused on teaching, might hold a far more esteed status than they had thought.
Everyone dared not speak anymore.
Elder Master Xun looked solemn, but internally, he sighed silently.
If it were a normal day, he would have taken his ti and carefully handled it.
But now with the Heavenly secret being obscure, the situation is special, and a quick decision is necessary.
Even if he has to forcefully promote, he must elevate Mo Hua to be the Junior Brother of the Taixu Gate.
This matter concerns the fate of the Taixu Gate.
There is no ti to delay, and no room for doubt!
Such a major issue related to the Heavenly secret, any hesitation, and the consequences will reverse.
Therefore, once even a trace of the Heavenly secret is glimpsed, even if it ans making a unilateral decision, there can be no hesitation!
Elder Master Xun surveyed the disciples sitting below.
The group of disciples had various expressions; though silent, they were clearly not ‘convinced’.
Whether they are ‘convinced’ or not doesn’t matter, but at least they must first be ‘verbally compliant’!
Elder Master Xun then said in a commanding tone:
“This matter is settled thus, you all first call him ‘Junior Brother’.”
They were clearly reluctant, but under the pressure from Elder Master Xun, they had no choice but to comply.
Thus, all of this generation’s Heavenly Pride of the Taixu Gate, except for a small number of disciples familiar with Mo Hua, most unwillingly and in a subdued voice, called out to the slightly younger Mo Hua:
“Junior Brother.”
