The three candidates given by the Cai family were brothers Cai Yan, Cai Ye and Zhenren Changping. From the beginning, there were no extra places for the disciples of the clan to insert.
These are the three people in the direct line of the Cai family who have the highest hopes, and they are also one of the most talented people.
The former two are the direct grandchildren of True Lord Shuizhen, and the latter is the adopted son of Shuizhen's disciple who is more like his biological son than his biological son. Of course, Lord Shuizhen hopes that all three of them can be selected smoothly. After all, this is the inheritance of his descendants.
Who would have thought of such an accident, not to mention Master Chang Ping himself. After figuring out the whole story, Shui Jin even doubted whether the Cai family could pass this assessment.
Although this was actually decided within the sect and Li Chuan was just going through the motions, the problem was that people outside didn't know. They have a very high regard for the role of the evaluators, so their attitude is extremely low.
Just when Shuizhen Zhenjun was still thinking about what reason to use to explain away, Chang Ping immediately chose to cut off his tail to survive. He didn't even have the slightest sense of luck, cutting off his own way of life to find a way for the Cai brothers and other clan members. Even people like Shuizhen who have seen big waves can't help but be shocked by Chang Ping's decisiveness.
After all, no monk is selfish, and everyone chooses to cultivate in order to achieve enlightenment and ascend to the path of eternal life. And becoming a monk will naturally expand the obsession in their hearts several times.
It can be said that even the most impartial and selfless Taoist master in the world may pretend to have many obsessions in his heart, or may have a different stance towards others. But it is almost impossible for a truly selfless cultivator to exist, and this is even a false proposition. If a monk loves everything in the world, wouldn't he be comparable to the sky... After all, the only one who can love everything in the world is this world.
Well, in fact, even heaven and earth are partial, and each has his own love for the living or non-living things born between heaven and earth.
Therefore, the selfishness of monks is a normal and commonplace problem. He often mentioned that even if Ningxia had nothing to do on weekdays, he would analyze it to explain his seemingly slightly deviated nature.
Lord Shuizhen felt that he was really good to Chang Ping. He raised him like a true son and gave him much more resources, even though Chang Ping was not actually of Cai family blood.
But he never thought about how Master Changping could repay him and how he could repay the Cai family. It should be noted that in the world of cultivation, there are often stories of "dragon husband and snake". No matter how good or strong the friendship is, it may be destroyed in the end. A little benefit. This truth has been verified and integrated by countless fellow Taoists.
Although this young man has put great effort into the development of the Cai family over the years, it does not involve his own interests after all. No matter how fair the other party is in the management of the Cai family, he cannot treat himself badly. Even if he wants to show off, it depends on whether True Lord Shuizhen is willing to let his adopted son suffer.
So at this moment, Chang Ping decisively chose the latter between his own future and the possible future of the Cai family, which was indeed beyond the expectations of most of the Cai family. They originally thought that the other party was a pure careerist, well, he must be a careerist, but no one, not even Lord Shuizhen himself, expected that the other party would be so willing to sacrifice for the Cai family.
You must know that the Xuantian Sword Sect's Sword Appraisal Meeting... is a grand event that all four continents and even the small and medium-sized weapon refining forces in the central part of the country are happy to participate in. If you don't have any reputation in the world, you won't be invited. Chang Ping Zhenren comes from an ordinary family. Even the Cai family he lives in now can only be called a new and active small family. If you can get this place, it is tantamount to investing. Title and entry threshold.
Although this idea of being willing to sacrifice for the tribe and the collective is quite admirable, the other party's behavior of cutting off his tail in order to survive also reflects this person's mentality, that is, deep down in his heart, he does not feel that he is at fault. It was just the situation and timing that were wrong. He was just unlucky and ran into trouble.
It seemed like there was really nothing that could be done to him.
At this moment, Li Chuan finally realized that Ningxia used the word "hard to describe" to describe Changping's state of mind.
It turns out that when Li Chuan asked Ningxia what kind of person Changping was, she didn't give a specific answer at that time. Anyway, her expression was very indescribable. Of course, she also gave such an evaluation in the end.
Li Chuan thought that Ning Xia was well-educated and unwilling to gossip about others. Now that he saw it in person, he was indeed a guy who was not easy to evaluate.
Forget it, the results of the Cai family's evaluation have already been determined, and the sect has decided to admit them, so he is just here to go through the motions.
He also accidentally listened to Fufeng's words and wanted to help the sect eliminate hidden dangers that had evil intentions and even resorted to unscrupulous means, but this did not mean that he had to offend all the Cai family.
Since Master Chang Ping has taken the initiative to give in, just let him.
Li Chuan pretended to be humble to the other party for a few moments and then allowed the other party to remove him from the quota, and then simply changed his name, even faster than the official list was prepared by the Supreme Lord Shuizhen. It can be seen that their Cai family has a ledger, with a clear order of priority and reverse. If someone fails, a suitable person will immediately take over. This style is really heartless...
After getting a satisfactory result, Li Chuan quickly accepted the list and said goodbye to the Cai family. The whole process went incredibly smoothly, without any unnecessary embarrassment as imagined by the Li family.
After Li Chuan left the Cai family, the children of the Cai family who had seemed calm just now suddenly became excited.
Several accompanying elders even questioned Master Changping about why he asked to withdraw. What happened to the little friend that the Xuantian Sword Sect’s envoy said had an acquaintance with their Cai family? Why doesn't Li Chuan seem to be very close to them...
It was naturally impossible for Shui Yu to tell these people. If it were to be said that Chang Ping's kid was really doomed, he should be thankful that the envoy from the Xuantian Sword Sect still had some leeway to say some irony with unclear meaning.
but--
Pity.
After Shuizhen dealt with all the accompanying Cai clan members, only three direct descendants of the Cai clan were left.
He sternly asked the Cai brothers about the whole incident, including the "grievances" between the Cai family and Ningxia and Ningxia people, and finally ended with the summary of Changping Zhenren.
Then Master Shuizhen heard a complete version of the incident. It was very simple, but it was not unfair to the accident - at least to Master Changping, it was not unfair for him to lose this place.
Alas, because he was too preoccupied with matters in the secret realm, he didn't pay attention to these petty quarrels within the clan. He finally remembered that Chang Ping had reported this situation to him at that time, and he acquiesced and didn't care at all. He only didn't expect that Chang Ping would be harmed in the end.
But who would have thought that a young monk in their family who made things difficult would be related to people from the Xuantian Sword Sect.
Chang Ping himself was unexpectedly calm, and he still had time to analyze the temperament of this fellow Daoist Ning. He estimated that the other party might not have disparaged the Cai family too much, otherwise even the Cai brothers might not be able to submit it.
"Aren't you going to say anything more?" Probably feeling helpless at the adopted son's excessive calmness, Master Shuizhen couldn't help but give him a step in the end.
"Changping...it's irrefutable." The young man pursed his lips and finally replied.
Because that was the truth, and he admitted that he deserved it.
Zhenjun Shuizhen, regardless of worldly affairs, does not know that nearly half of the popular new and ancient magical artifacts produced by the Cai family in recent years are from ancient magical artifacts purchased in Ningxia.
Although he later introduced new products and soon broke away from the framework and craftsmanship of the original ones, he also knew in his heart that this was inseparable from the big deal Ningxia had with them. But in the end, Ningxia got nothing——
They were unkind, and Chang Ping knew it. But he will not regret it. He has made an oath long ago, and he will abandon his conscience for the sake of True Lord Shuizhen who has shown kindness to him again.
