In fact, Sun Shaoji and Feng Yu came here to check in with Fenghong Villa, and at the same time, they also made arrangements for their trip to the underground palace.
The reason why Shen Hao was called over was because Shen Hao would follow him to the core area. After the two super sects found out, they also wanted to meet Shen Hao, so that they would not appear out of place in the underground palace and could take care of Shen Hao to the best of their ability.
With the protection of Fenghong Villa, Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect, Shen Hao had greater protection after going down to the underground palace.
Shen Hao sat next to Yang Ming and never spoke again. He acted as a listener throughout the whole process, pouring tea and water for those present from time to time, and finally stood up to see the two people off for Yang Ming.
Back in the tent, Yang Ming had made a new pot of tea and asked Shen Hao to sit down. He had something to say.
"You heard it just now. What do you think about Sun Shaoji and Feng Yu inviting you to the sword trial meeting in two years' time?"
"First Elder, I think there's something amiss between the two families." Shen Hao understood what Yang Ming meant, but when it came to seeing the true colors behind people's words, he believed in his own judgment more. After all, this is what he has always done to eat.
A glint flashed in Yang Ming's eyes. This was the first time he had in-depth contact with Shen Hao. In the past, he had always heard about the "sharp knife" of the villa that the owner was optimistic about. Today, he wanted to get closer and see what it was like. Got the Dharma.
"Tell me, why did they become so depressed?"
Shen Hao put down his tea cup and said: "Great Elder, I am only a seventh-level monk in the Yuan Dan Realm. I only received the teachings from two masters this year. Before, I had always explored on my own and followed Xuan Qingwei's practice book. Staggering forward. To put it bluntly, what if a monk like me has some talent and luck? Can he get into the eyes of a super sect elder?
As far as I know, there are geniuses who are at the ninth level of the Yuan Dan Realm under the age of twenty in super sects. Feng Yu came and said sharply that he was curious about my methods. Isn't this just a scene? It's so perfunctory to fool people. I just found a reason to try to suppress the limelight of the Villa. "
"The one who dominates the villa? Please tell me carefully." Yang Ming asked Shen Hao to continue with interest.
Shen Hao glanced at Yang Ming's expression and said: "Great Elder, under the leadership of the owner, the villa has recently taken many new measures against the sect. Not only has the attitude towards daily affairs changed from the previous weakness to a tough one, He also has his own influence in the sect circle.
In fact, everything that happened before was also due to the secret cooperation between Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect, otherwise everything would not have gone so smoothly. Especially when the "book tasting conference" was held in Wanjuan Shushan, the villa and the sect signed an agreement on the separation of "investigation and punishment". The endorsement was a fixed rule between the Jingjiu Dynasty and the sect circle. This was quite Yu opened a hole in the sect circle, giving Wanjuanshu Mountain and Mingshan Sect an excuse to interfere in the internal affairs of each sect, and also allowing the Villa to legitimately bring the sect under its jurisdiction.
It was originally a matter of benefit to both sides, but now it seems that Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect are still worried. I guess it's about the mineral vein in Sanyuan Sect. Now they are seducing me, the deacon of foreign affairs, to talk things over, and using the sword test competition as a pretext to suppress me. In disguise, they are suppressing the villa.
After all, you said before that Fenghong Villa has never participated in the sword trial meeting, and only went to watch the ceremony. Wouldn't they be clear? To insist on inviting someone even though they know it is clearly a sarcastic statement. We have stretched our hands too far. We are not a member of the sect but we insist on controlling the affairs of the sect.
It seems that the Sanyuan Sect's defection to the Villa still makes Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect worried!
However, under the suppression of the Villa, these two families did not dare to go back on their word, and they did not dare to openly argue with the Villa, so they could only use me as a soft persimmon in front of you to scare you. It's obvious. "
Shen Hao had a clear mind and slowly understood the actions of Sun Shaoji and Feng Yu just now.
Yang Ming drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and laughed loudly: "Deacon Shen is indeed well-deserved. The owner of the village often said that you are the sharp knife of the Villa. You are very good at handling external affairs in terms of proportion and direction. Now it seems that you are even worse. And nothing less!”
"If you don't dare to take it, if you don't take it, it's just a matter of duty."
"Deacon Shen doesn't need to be modest. I'm here to lead the team in place of Second Elder Duan Jue this time. Master Shen should be able to understand the reason, right?"
Shen Hao didn't expect that Yang Ming would suddenly bring the topic to this topic. What's the meaning? Do you want him to make a formal statement? Or are you checking Yang Xiu Sheng's ability to understand?
No matter what happened, Shen Hao had to deal with it carefully.
Shen Hao didn't rush to speak. After thinking carefully for a while, Shen Hao replied: "The Great Elder's replacement of Elder Duan this time is probably the village owner's move to consolidate the power that used to be evenly distributed between the two factions of the Villa."
This kind of thing should not be said too lightly, otherwise it will be regarded as perfunctory and unstable by the other party. Don't talk too deeply, lest you get stuck in and unable to get out.
"Haha, Deacon Shen also knows about the two factions in the villa?" Yang Ming smiled as if he was satisfied with Shen Hao's answer. Because that's the truth.
"Yes, although the villa is relatively closed-off, the dispute between the "two factions" is no longer undercurrent but has surfaced in the open, so I have heard about it. There are two types: the "leisure faction" and the "functional faction."
"Then which faction does Deacon Shen belong to?"
Shen Hao looked Yang Ming squarely in the face and smiled: "The owner and I will follow whatever faction the owner belongs to."
"Hahaha... In the opinion of Deacon Shen, the owner of the village may be successful in gathering power this time?"
"Great Elder, this kind of problem is really difficult for me." Shen Hao didn't want to say it. Moreover, he has always been outside Fenghong Villa and has not learned much about the internal affairs, so there is no way to comment on success or failure.
"It doesn't matter. This is a private chat. Now it comes out of your mouth and into my ears. It will never be spoken to outsiders again. Just say it as you like."
Yang Ming's words made Shen Hao a little unsure, but there was no way to shirk the blame. He had to give an excuse to get through, so he thought about it and deduce a few words from the errands he was doing, so as not to make a big mistake.
So Shen Hao replied: "Sir, judging from the current actions in foreign affairs, the Villa is expanding its influence on the sect and is also deepening its contact with the sect's related affairs. These are very good progress. In other words , these external actions are contrary to the concept of the "leisure faction", and are actually reducing the room for the existence of the "leisure faction".
I don’t know the internal situation of the villa, but I think that if the outside world maintains the current attitude, the survival of the "leisure faction" will continue to be squeezed. As long as the internal strength advantage is maintained so that the other party cannot jump over the wall, the power should be taken back. There won't be any problems. "
