I don't know why, even though the disciples around him greeted Shen Hao with smiles and warm words, Shen Hao still had no sense of belonging here.
Except for the hilltop where Yang Shan and Yang Qingzhi lived, Shen Hao still felt that other places in Fenghong Villa were "other people's places." In other words, it's like entering a certain yamen, but not feeling like returning to your own school.
Shen Hao himself concluded that the reason was because he had no direct survival connection with Fenghong Villa. There is no such thing as a relationship where both are prosperous and both suffer losses. It is more of just a job.
Only on the hilltop where the two masters lived, Shen Hao would feel that it was his master's place and would have a sense of intimacy.
As usual, I first went to pay my respects to the two masters, and then took some examinations before diverting to the palace of the owner of Fenghong Villa to find Yang Xiusheng.
On the way there, Shen Hao met Elder Duan Jue, whom he had not seen for a long time. He wanted to chat for a few words, but the other party just nodded to him and then left straight away, seeming very distant. This made Shen Hao a little surprised. He remembered that before He had a good relationship with Duan Jue and other elders back then. Why was the other party so cold all of a sudden? What happened?
But then Shen Hao shook his head mockingly and threw away this weird idea, secretly thinking that his occupational disease had come again. People like Duan Jue and him are not on the same line. They are people who have intersections but do not influence them. They are just better than passers-by. What does he care about Duan Jue's thoughts? does it matter?
Shen Hao would not know that the reason for Duan Jue's cold attitude toward him was because of his current status as the Archdeacon of Foreign Affairs of Fenghong Villa and what he had done recently in the sect. These things triggered disputes within Fenghong Villa.
The old-school disciples headed by Duan Jue opposed Shen Hao's radical behavior and believed that everything should be based on "stability". Radical behavior would destabilize Fenghong Villa and be detrimental to the cultivation atmosphere and future development of the Villa. He even felt that if Shen Hao continued like this, he would sooner or later stir up a war between the sect and the Jing Dynasty, so he should restrain himself as soon as possible.
The new disciples headed by Yang Xiu Sheng believed that the sect was like a mosquito on the body of the old Jing Dynasty, and they could not be allowed to invade and take advantage of it. They should constantly beat them, and slowly start to divide the internal strength of the sect, and finally disintegrate as a whole. This pair of Feng Both Hongshan Villa and Jingjiu Dynasty have great benefits.
The two sides had different opinions and continued to argue. In the end, Yang Xiu Sheng made the decision, using his identity and status to suppress the different voices in the villa. This also made the group of old-school disciples headed by Duan Jue feel unhappy, and naturally they would not have a good look towards Shen Hao who provoked this disagreement.
In fact, Duan Jue's group of disciples are all waiting. What are you waiting for? Wait for Shen Hao to make a mistake, or wait for Shen Hao to mess up. Only when Shen Hao can't deal with it or Fenghong Villa obviously helps Shen Hao wipe his ass is the opportunity for this group of old-school disciples. Only then will they have the confidence and opportunity to put pressure on Yang Xiusheng to change Fenghong Villa's strategy.
This undercurrent is surging "underground" in Fenghong Villa, and ordinary disciples will naturally not feel it. But the top brass knew it all.
Yang Xiu Sheng actually has the mentality of giving it a try. However, the object of his "fight" was not Duan Jue's group of so-called old-school disciples, but the reaction and cohesion of the sect.
As for Duan Jue, the so-called old school, in Yang Xiusheng's opinion, they are "not enterprising" and "forgot the roots of Fenghong Villa". They are very self-righteous and separate Fenghong Villa from the Jingjiu Dynasty. They really regard themselves as a sect. As I live my life, I completely forget that Fenghong Villa is a branch of power of the Jingjiu Dynasty.
This state also needs to be corrected by Yang Xiu Sheng. If Duan Jue and others persist in their obsession, Yang Xiusheng would not mind pruning the tree in Fenghong Villa. Especially after receiving Emperor Shu's promise, Yang Xiusheng no longer had any scruples.
Worried that Fenghong Villa will break your muscles and bones? Haha, Yang Xiusheng is really not worried. Not to mention that the two ancestors of the villa are still here, let's talk about the secrets of the royal family. With that thing here, what can cause trouble?
To illustrate the confidence of Jing Jiu Dynasty, what Yang Shan once said to Yang Xiu Sheng is: Unless there is a dangerous person who transcends the Xuanhai realm and reaches the creation realm one day, the Jing Jiu Dynasty will be very safe.
It's a pity that that thing is out of control. Otherwise, Yang Xiusheng would have taken action against the sects all over the world. How could he still be cautious until now?
On the other hand, Yang Xiu Sheng also saw his own cultivation very clearly. Although his talent is good, he is not considered a genius. Now that he has reached the third level of Xuanhai Realm, he has begun to feel obviously weak. After thinking about it, I would go up to one minor realm at most and enter the middle realm of Xuanhai realm, which would be the limit.
Therefore, Yang Xiusheng focused more on the internal affairs of Fenghong Villa and the contemplation of the sect's circle.
In the past, it was just talk on paper, but now that he had a sharp knife, Yang Xiu Sheng immediately felt the use of it. From time to time, he would write and draw on paper, planning how to divide the sect and then divide and eat. strategy.
I heard a message from the disciples outside that Shen Hao had come to see him.
Yang Xiu Sheng also didn't think about it, knowing that Shen Hao came to him must be related to the foreign affairs of Fenghong Villa. I just don’t know what exactly it is. So someone led Shen Hao to the study, and he went there afterwards.
On the other side, Shen Hao didn't wait long in Yang Xiu Sheng's study. After seeing Yang Xiu Sheng, he saluted and greeted him, and then took out the box of high-grade spiritual stones sent by Xu Jing and placed it on the table.
"Master of the village. These things were sent to the disciple's house yesterday by the leader of a sect called Sanyuan Sect in Jingxi, which is not popular. He said they were local specialties from their side."
“Souvenir?!”
Looking at the fully filled copper box, feeling the spiritual energy fluctuations of the high-grade spiritual stones inside, and hearing Shen Hao say the three words "local specialty", even Yang Xiusheng was a little nervous.
"Master of the village, my disciples also thought that the leader of the Sanyuan Sect was talking nonsense, but in fact it is really the specialty of their sect..."
Shen Hao didn't have any ink, so he used this box of high-grade spiritual stones as an entry point, and followed the discovery of a top-level mineral vein by the Sanyuan Sect as well as the purpose and wishes of the sect leader Xu Qing. At the same time, he was always observing Yang Xiu Sheng's reaction.
Just like the previous separation of "investigation and punishment", it was Yang Xiu Sheng who came to make the decision when it came to big things. If Yang Xiusheng didn't want to get involved, then this matter would be considered dirty.
However, when Shen Hao saw the corners of Yang Xiu Sheng's mouth turned up slightly and his eyes flashing with excitement, he knew in his heart that this matter was probably settled.
Sure enough, I heard Yang Xiusheng say: "Top mine? Haha, this is a good thing. But the leader of Sanyuan Sect is also a wonderful person, and he actually found you. Tell me, how are you going to get involved?"
