Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1448: All Actors

There's a saying that goes, "Old ginger is spicier."

That's absolutely true.

Mo Zhu may look young, but she is actually Bai Yunzi's lover, and the two have been entangled for hundreds of years.

Back then, Bai Yunzi was also a high-ranking elder of the Yunhai Sect. He was happy to share many of the sect's undercurrents with Mozhu.

Therefore, Mo Zhu still understands some intrigue and power struggles.

She had previously overheard some conversations between Master Yunyi and the old baby at the ancestral hall on the back mountain.

This gave her a deeper understanding than anyone else of Yunyi Shangren's thoughts on the successor issue.

Without Sect Leader Yunyi's support, even if Ye Feng's Lingbao Pavilion could have opened, it would probably have only been selling low-level magic treasures stolen from the Sword Tomb, and it wouldn't have grown to such a large scale as it is now.

Mo Zhu knew that this was Sect Leader Yun Yi paving the way for Ye Feng.

No matter the era, money is the most important thing.

Cultivation resources are money in the eyes of cultivators.

So far, Sect Leader Yunyi has done two things to pave the way for Ye Feng.

The first thing to do is to let Dugu Changkong regain power, restrain Fu Jinghong, and buy time for Ye Feng to grow.

The second thing was to use the cultivation resources of the Cloud Sea Sect's Spirit Treasure Academy to help Ye Feng open the Spirit Treasure Pavilion and save money for him.

With money, Ye Feng could quickly assemble a team.

Mo Zhu's words brought silence back to the private room.

The women looked at each other, bewildered.

Qin Chuchu and the others wanted to refute Mo Zhu's words, but they also felt that what Mo Zhu said made perfect sense.

After much thought, these intelligent women realized that only Ye Feng, the sect leader's preferred successor, could explain many things they had never been able to understand before.

Miao Xiaorou blinked and broke the silence first.

"I see. I must say, Ye Feng's chances of success are quite high."

Shangguan Lan said, "No way, Xiao Rou, why are you suddenly so fond of Ye Feng? Competing for the position of sect leader is no joke. Just look at the people around Ye Feng—Fang Tong, Liu Yinshui, Qi Yao, Zhuge Benlei… they're all a bunch of spoiled brats…"

Miao Xiaorou shook her head and said, "Shangguan, you are wrong. The young disciples are just pawns in this matter. The struggle for leadership among the successive sect leaders is actually a struggle between the people behind these young disciples."

The people you just mentioned, such as Fang Tong, Liu Yinshui, Zhuge Benlei, and Qi Yao, are indeed not very capable, and their reputation within the Yunhai Sect is not good.

But don't forget, not everyone can be a playboy, whether in the mortal world or the cultivation world.

Behind every spoiled brat, there must be a powerful person or force backing them up; otherwise, they would have been beaten to death long ago.

Ye Feng's dozen or so cronies were mostly third- or fourth-generation immortals from the Cloud Sea Sect... Even with their diligent efforts, the eldest and second senior brothers hadn't managed to win over many people with such powerful backgrounds.

Yue Yinling tapped the table a few times and said, "Xiaorou, what do you mean by 'bad friends'? I feel like you're insulting me!"

Miao Xiaorou said, "Look, Yinling is getting anxious. I don't need to say more about who Yinling's ancestors were, right? Yinling's grandmother was Lei Po Yuan Jiugong! And that skinny monkey Zhuge Benlei, his lineage can completely control the wind and rain in Yunhai Sect."

Qi Yao's grandmother was Master Xuanchi's great-uncle...

Looking at the others, Shangguan's master is Martial Uncle Yunyu, Yun Shuang'er's master is Martial Uncle Yuying, Hong Jiu's master is the God of War... and there's also Senior Sister Chuchu, and Chu Tianxiong who went into Warehouse No. 1 with you to rescue people last time...

"Let alone giving Ye Feng decades to develop his power, even if he stepped forward now to use his connections and influence, he could immediately amass a powerful force."

The women remained silent.

Yes, the young disciples that Ye Feng befriended didn't seem particularly remarkable.

But they all have a powerful force behind them.

Including all the people present, they are all too deeply tied to Ye Feng.

Once Ye Feng begins vying for the position of sect leader, Shangguan Lan and the others will definitely support him.

An Nian felt she couldn't continue this dangerous topic.

She tapped the table and said, "Whether what Miss Mozhu said is true or false, not a single word spoken in this room today should be spread. My fellow junior sisters should know the consequences of spreading it, right?"

The women exchanged glances again, then slowly nodded.

Fu Jinghong is currently busy fighting with Dugu Changkong.

If they were to find out that the true choice in Master Yunyi's heart was Ye Feng, then Fu Jinghong and Dugu Changkong would definitely turn around and join forces to deal with Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was just a playboy, far less adept at scheming and intrigue than Fu Jinghong and Dugu Changkong.

There were almost no people around Ye Feng who were skilled in this art.

Yun Shuang'er was so quiet she wouldn't utter a sound even after three blows, and Shen Tianqi was pretty much the same.

The only one who could rival Fu Jinghong and Dugu Changkong in political intrigue and scheming was Liu Yinshui.

But the women had no idea how clever Liu Yinshui was.

All they can do now is hide it and pretend they know nothing.

Let Ye Feng develop stealthily.

At this moment, the door opened, and Hong Jiu, whose complexion had returned to normal, walked in with the waiter.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, senior sisters. I urged you for a long time before the kitchen finally finished preparing our dishes. Come on, bring the dishes up."

There were four waiters, each carrying a tray with three dishes on it.

After entering, the waiter placed the dishes on the table one by one.

After sitting down, Hong Jiu said with some disappointment, "Yipinzhai is a vegetarian restaurant. Not only does it not serve meat, but it also does not serve alcohol."

Now that Hong Jiu had arrived, the women stopped discussing the previous topic.

Miao Xiaorou took out a large wine jar from her storage and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Hong, if you want to drink, I have some good wine here, sixty-year-old Daughter's Red. But I'm worried that after so many of us girls drink, we'll definitely talk without restraint and say some drunken things. I don't know if you can handle it, Senior Brother Hong. Don't be like before, running away with a red face halfway through your sentence."

Yue Yinling said with a smile, "That's why his name is Xiao Hong!"

Hong Jiu's complexion, which had returned to normal, flushed up again.

He quickly said, "Drinking alcohol in a vegetarian restaurant is not a good idea. Let's not drink alcohol today. Come on, let's eat."

The women burst into laughter at Hong Jiu's embarrassing state.

It must be said that these girls are all talented actresses with solid acting skills.

Just a moment ago, he was feeling very heavy-hearted because of Ye Feng's matter.

Now everyone is back to normal, just like nothing happened.

At this moment, Su Daji and Mozhu had already begun fighting over the food and had no time to appreciate the girls' acting skills.
