"I'm just a true disciple. How can He Dehe become the elder in charge of the palace? This is absolutely not possible!" Liu Chen refused righteously.
At this time, Ao Yiming angrily said: "You keep saying that everything is for the Xuandeng Sect, but there is no one in charge of the central hall of the Xuandeng Sect, and it is in chaos and on the verge of collapse. You have the strength and prestige, and you can definitely help stabilize the central hall." , but you are not willing to bear this responsibility, is this for the Hanging Lantern Sect you said?"
"This..." Liu Chen looked embarrassed.
"According to the original agreement, you were supposed to take over as the sect leader. But you said that you are not strong enough to embarrass the Xuan Deng Sect. We agree with this and are willing to wait for the Xuan Deng Sect to have another grandmaster. But now we just let you Isn’t it possible to stabilize the central hall? I think you are just afraid of taking responsibility, so you push it again and again."
Liu Chen's face turned red and he stared at Ao Yiming, unable to say a word.
Ao Yiming looked at Liu Chen's appearance and couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart. His acting talent was no worse than his.
"Xiyao, you are the true successor of the Middle Temple and the daughter of the sect master. Do you think he is qualified to be in charge of the Middle Temple?"
Zhao Xiyao looked at Ao Yiming and then at Liu Chen. Compared to others, she naturally hopes that Liu Chen will be in charge of the middle hall.
Therefore, she bowed and said: "Uncle Ao is right, please don't shirk it, Senior Brother Liu."
Both Zhao Xiyao and Ao Yiming are extremely prestigious in the middle hall. They spoke at the same time, attracting many disciples to follow them. They knelt on the ground and shouted: "Please also ask Senior Brother Liu Chen to take charge of the middle hall!"
"This..." Liu Chen looked at the many disciples lying on the ground with a look of embarrassment on his face.
The great elder and others were so angry that their bodies were shaking. Yun Mei also froze on the spot, never expecting such a scene to appear.
Ao Yiming said again at this moment: "If you don't take over, then I won't get up."
Liu Chen glanced at Ao Yiming and thought that he was indeed the sect leader's confidant. Well, you will be my confidant from now on. Much more reliable than Zhao Lei, the guy who still needs some guidance.
Zhao Lei was standing on one side at this time, looking at Ao Yiming with an angry face. Humph, Senior Brother Liu Chen has no interest in power, and you are actually forcing him like this. As expected, you are the only one who is Senior Brother Liu Chen’s confidant. You should consider Senior Brother Liu Chen and not let him do anything difficult.
"Please also ask Senior Brother Liu Chen to take charge of the middle hall!" Many disciples, under Ao Yiming's eyes, knelt on the ground and begged again.
Liu Chen looked embarrassed, and finally sighed and said: "That's okay! I will act as the elder of the middle hall for the time being. When Xiyao grows up a little, she will take over."
Zhao Xiyao was stunned. She had never thought that Liu Chen was still thinking of passing the throne to her at this time, and she couldn't help but feel strange emotions in her heart.
The elders were as aggrieved as if they had eaten shit, but they were speechless. Liu Chen's reputation is so high now that they can't even say anything to suppress him.
Yun Mei's expression was complicated. She still didn't know about Yun Du's husband causing trouble in the Dayan Sect. She just felt that it was hard for her to accept why the true successor of the Suzaku Hall suddenly became the elder of the middle hall. In her understanding, Liu Chen was just a disciple who needed to be taken care of.
But no matter what everyone's mood was, Liu Chen and Ao Yiming's singing and harmony settled the matter.
No matter how unwilling they are, they can only be forced to accept it. Several elders are still comforting themselves in their hearts. It is better to be just an acting elder in charge of the palace than to become the sect leader. If he insists on becoming the sect leader, it will be a headache for him because of his righteousness.
Now that an acting elder is sending him away, he has settled his righteousness. From now on, he can no longer use this excuse.
They are all sixth-grade peak cultivators and have the best chance of becoming sect masters. As long as they become masters first, no one can stop them from becoming sect masters.
Um! Becoming a Grandmaster is the most important thing! I want to practice hard to the death!
Several elders suddenly became more motivated.

The meeting adjourned after Liu Chen became the elder of the middle hall.
Liu Chen was also in a side hall of the middle hall with Ao Yiming. At this time, Ao Yiming stood respectfully aside, brought a bunch of materials, handed them to Liu Chen and said: "Palace Master, here are the account books of the middle hall. Affairs, as well as the list of disciples in the middle hall, etc.”
Liu Chen took it, knowing that mastering these things was equivalent to mastering the rights of the middle hall.
He looked at Ao Yiming and said, "There's no hurry. Deacon Ao, you will continue to be responsible for these matters in the future!"
Ao Yiming was overjoyed!
After the death of the sect leader, he lost his backing and was always worried that he would be marginalized. Liu Chen's attitude told him that he made the right bet today.
Similarly, Liu Chen's attitude also let Ao Yiming know that he didn't want to be so honest and selfless.
Therefore, Ao Yiming asked tentatively: "Several elders have some dark histories. Otherwise, I will send someone to spread it and subtly attack their prestige. This can compare with your majesty, the palace master."
"Deacon Ao, I have always been upright and upright, and I never disdain to do dirty things. I didn't hear what you just said."
The previous sentence shocked Deacon Ao, but Liu Chen's superfluous sentence immediately made him understand, and he immediately echoed: "The palace master is right, it is the heart of a villain. But the palace master, you Although they are upright and kind-hearted, some people are always dissatisfied with a few elders, and sooner or later these things will come out."
Liu Chen looked at Ao Yiming and thought that he must be reused. Such a talent is much better than Zhao Lei.
Then Liu Chen said: "Deacon Ao, you have worked hard over the years and made great achievements. Although the Hanging Deng Sect does not have a deputy hall master, you are the deputy hall master in my heart. In the future, you should pay more attention to the affairs of the middle hall."
Ao Yiming was overjoyed. From now on, he would be under one person in the middle hall.
Seeing Liu Chen starting to browse the information in the middle hall, Ao Yiming waited respectfully beside him, answering Liu Chen's questions from time to time.
Ao Yiming has been involved in the middle hall for many years, and with Liu Chen's help from him who knew everything, Liu Chen soon had a general understanding of all the affairs of the middle hall.
After helping Liu Chen become familiar with the middle hall, Ao Yiming added: "With the strength and reputation of the hall master, it is not difficult to master the middle hall. But what is special about the middle hall is that the middle hall also has the Elder's House of the Hanging Deng Sect. Every day in the Elder's House Each of the enshrined elders is a strong member of the Xuan Deng Sect. Although they are not in power, they have a high status. Moreover, the Elder House is also the foundation of the Xuan Deng Sect.
They always only obey the orders of the sect master. After all, the palace lord is not the sect master. If they want to completely control the middle hall, the Elders House will have some troubles.
However, as the daughter of the sect leader, Zhao Xiyao was favored by the people in the Elder Council. If the palace master can convince Zhao Xiyao to stand on your side, the Elder House can also stand on your side.
With the support of the Council of Elders, even if the palace master is not the sect leader in the Xuan Deng Sect, no one can shake your position. "
Liu Chen was thoughtful.
Ao Yiming thought for a while and then said: "Zhao Xiyao should have pledged himself to the palace master to avenge the sect master. If the palace master is Zhao Xiyao's husband-in-law, the Elders House should also recognize you. But I have heard some comments recently. Said: You are the adopted son adopted by the sect master many years ago, and you are her brother and sister."
Liu Chen knew that this must have been spread by Zhao Xiyao. Liu Chen didn't care and said to Ao Yiming: "Go and ask Xiyao to accompany me to the Elder's House."
