Chapter 5135: What wise opinion do you have?

She was only the last member of the elders Council present, and she wasn’t even an official elder. At most, she could only be considered as one of the candidates for the next elder. She was on the same level as Bing Wuqing, who was a newly promoted junior. She had no right to speak at all in such an occasion.
However, she had no choice but to step forward at this time. If Xue Liping really accused Leng Leng of being a traitorous disciple, then Leng Leng would really die without a burial place in the future. Even as her master, she could not save her life.
“Vice sect leader Xue’s words are absurd. Since Xu Xiaodong is a member of the elders Council, she naturally has the right to participate in the discussions. Our snow sword sect has always been like this. Vice sect leader Xue, you can’t be thinking of changing the rules left behind by our ancestors, right?” Chi qianqiu said with a frown.
Seeing everyone looking at him with different expressions, Xue Liping could not help but secretly curse at the old man. He could only laugh and say,””Hehe, elder Chi, you’re being too serious. I just saw that the other elders haven’t spoken yet, but she, who’s ranked last, is fighting to speak. She doesn’t know the rules, so I just reminded her.”
Chi qianqiu scanned the crowd and smiled.””The other elders don’t seem to have any intention of expressing their stance. Since that’s the case, why can’t we let Xu Xiaodong say a few words first? After all, she’s coold’s master, so she has quite the say in this matter. ”
“Many thanks, elder Chi.” Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaodong nodded gratefully at Chi qianqiu. She was not on Chi qianqiu’s side and knew that Chi qianqiu’s words were not entirely to stand up for her. The main reason was to prevent Xue Liping from getting what he wanted. However, no matter what, Xue Liping had helped her out of her predicament, so it was more or less a favor.
“No need, I’m just speaking out of justice.” Chi qianqiu waved his hand and said,””The elders Guild has always paid attention to spreading the word. If you have anything to say, you can say it in front of everyone.”
Xu Xiaodong nodded and took a deep breath before saying,””Okay, I want to ask vice sect leader Xue, who did you just say was a traitorous disciple? Could it be that you want to say “cold”?”
“Of course, based on her previous actions, colluding with outsiders to deal with our sect’s eldest senior brother and openly disobeying the sect’s orders, isn’t that considered betraying the sect?” Xue Liping said.
“I’m afraid that your son’s letter alone won’t be enough to convince anyone of what exactly happened to them in the secular world. During the last meeting, you’ve also said that everything can only be investigated after Leng Leng returns. Even you, vice sect leader Xue, can’t just accuse someone of being a traitorous disciple for no reason, right? Besides, it’s up to the sect leader to decide how to deal with Leng Leng in the end. What right do you, a Deputy sect leader, have to overstep your authority?” In order to protect Leng Leng, Xu Xiaodong had already made up her mind to go all out.
These words were said without any mercy. Even Chi qianqiu could not help but reveal a surprised expression after hearing it. As for Xue Liping’s group, they were all flustered and exasperated.”What did you say?”
On the other hand, Xue Liping did not show any anger on his face. Instead, he laughed with interest.”Interesting, this is really interesting. I’ve been the Deputy sect leader for so many years, and no one has ever spoken to me like this. Xu Xiaodong, you’re the first.”
The more he acted this way, the more fear he felt. Xu Xiaodong’s heart tightened when she met his cold eyes, but she still braced herself and said,””Am I wrong?”
“Since you speak so eloquently, then this Deputy sect leader will have to wash my ears and listen to your wise opinion. Why don’t you tell me how we should deal with this matter? Or is it that they don’t even need to deal with it, and simply swallow their anger like cowards? so that Bing Wuqing and my son, Xue Jianfeng, can be considered to have been beaten up for nothing?” Xue Liping said with an unreadable expression.
When Xu Xiaodong heard this, she could not help but choke for a moment. The other party’s words clearly did not have good intentions. It was human nature for her to speak up for her own disciple coldly and righteously. Others would not say anything about it. However, this matter was clearly not something that she, who was the last-ranked elder candidate, could interfere with. No matter what she said, she would be overestimating her own capabilities. She would not be able to escape the fate of being laughed at by others.
However, at this point, Xu Xiaodong could only continue,””I didn’t say that. This matter was originally a matter of training the disciples. If the sect had to personally ask about anything that happened, would it still be called training? Besides, it’s already against the rules for our snow sword sect to send out Bing Wuqing alone. If we were to send out other higher-ups, what would the other ancient sects think?”
“What do you think? If we really care about our sect’s image, then this is definitely not showing weakness. If we lower our heads in front of green cloud sect, then in the future, not only the four big sect families and the ten small sect families, but also other random people might bully our snow sword sect. Disgracing our sect, can you bear the sin?” Xue Liping snorted in disdain.
“Deputy sect leader Xue, you are quite arrogant, but you seem to have forgotten one thing. North island’s Green cloud sect is not a single sect. It is closely related to the North Island’s skyward sect and the North Island’s mysterious sect. Offending it is equivalent to offending the entire North Island Alliance!” At this moment, Chi qianqiu suddenly opened his mouth again and said indifferently,””Although our snow sword sect belongs to the Nakajima Alliance, we don’t have much say in this. The one who has the final say in the entire Nakajima Alliance is the Nakajima Pavilion, and we’re just a vassal sect. What do we have to compete with the North Island Alliance?”
“Elder Chi, you can even say such words that boost other people’s morale and diminish your own prestige. I think you’ve really become muddleheaded with your old age!” Xue Liping crossed his legs and looked up at the sky.
“Is that so?” Chi qianqiu was not angry at all. He replied calmly,””That’s right, I’m indeed old. In the future, the world will be ruled by the young. Vice sect leader Xue is still young and strong. If there is a conflict with the North Island Alliance in the future, how about you take full responsibility?”
“Uh …” Xue Liping choked. It was not a problem for him to fan the flames and stir up a dispute, but he did not have the courage to go against the entire North Island Alliance. No one in the entire snow sword sect had the courage to do so.
“Not necessarily. Although this time it was our people who got into trouble in the territory of green cloud sect in the North Island, they were the ones who hid coldly first. They may not be able to involve the entire North Island Alliance in this kind of matter. Moreover, our snow sword sect has allies. As long as we find someone to move around in the Nakagama Pavilion, we may not be afraid of the North Island Alliance!” The fifth elder suddenly stood out to support Xue Liping.
“Fighting and killing at the drop of a hat, do you all think that this is child’s play? In my opinion, there’s no need to escalate this matter to the level of a sect war. At most, it’s just a small matter that requires a few words of persuasion, so why do you have to act like you’re facing a great enemy?” The fourth elder curled his lips and said. (To be continued.) ”
