Chapter 2099: Chapter 2099: Lacking a Guide, It’s Xue Jue
You’re not the one who has worked hard; he is. Alright?
But he hasn’t worked hard either, as dealing with these lands is no longer his responsibility.
“Now that Snow Heart has been obtained, isn’t it time for you to leave? The next plane is waiting for you.” He changed the subject and asked.
“There’s no rush.”
An Jiuyue still has unresolved matters in the Silent Snow Plane.
Since the Evil Spirit Universe has already affected this area, she might as well temporarily seal the Silent Snow Plane to prevent its people from reaching Wulong Mountain.
With the vortex sealed, nothing from Wulong Mountain can impact here anymore, and the Northern Lands can return to normal.
“Once the matters of Tufeng Sect are settled, I need to go to the vortex on Wulong Mountain in the Silent Snow Plane,” she said.
“What else needs to be done for Tufeng Sect?” Wei Na, puzzled, asked.
They came to Tufeng Sect just for Snow Heart. Now that they have it, what else is there to do?
“From what I’ve observed, the Sect Master of Tufeng Sect is too swayed by emotion. However, his son Xue Jue has the makings of a great leader. Hence, I have decided to let Sect Master Xue rest a bit. The position of Sect Master should be held by the capable,” she stated.
This Xue Manyu dared to harbor improper thoughts about my Qian Jiyun in my presence; how could I let her off easily?
But Xue Manyu is the Sect Master’s daughter after all. It wouldn’t be appropriate to dispose of her directly. The only solution is to find someone capable of handling her to take over as the Sect Master of Tufeng Sect.
And Xue Jue is quite suited for this. Even Madam Xue is more suitable than Sect Master Xue himself; at least she wouldn’t indulge Xue’s misconduct to such an extent.
“You’re planning to replace the Sect Master of their Sect?” Wei Na was shocked.
This wasn’t the first time they’d done such a thing, but replacements were usually made for the extremely ruthless. Wasn’t it unfair to remove Sect Master Xue from power just because his daughter caused trouble?
However, he unconditionally supported his Family Head’s decision. Sect Master Xue’s original sin was raising such a daughter.
“Do you think what I am doing is right?” An Jiuyue asked him.
“Yes, it couldn’t be more appropriate.”
Wei Na readily agreed, though inwardly he muttered to himself, his Family Head had already decided, so what was the point of asking him?
“However, maybe you should further assess Xue Jue’s character?” he suggested.
“Hmm.”
An Jiuyue nodded.
“If he can help me seal the vortex and handle this matter well, the position of Sect Master of Tufeng Sect will be his,” she declared.
Perfectly, they needed a guide to go to Wulong Mountain, and that could be Xue Jue.
“You’re really intending to seal the passageway, then? That way, people from Wulong Mountain won’t be able to come over,” Wei Na reminded her.
“Do people who enter Wulong Mountain ever come back?” An Jiuyue retorted.
“Uh.”
Wei Na was left speechless.
Considering the temperature of this plane and then thinking about Wulong Mountain, he felt that even poultry from this plane wouldn’t want to return after experiencing Wulong Mountain’s environment, much less endure the scorching of three suns here.
“You’re right, the passageway should be sealed. The vortex’s only use now is to allow the Evil Spirit Universe to absorb the Spiritual Energy of this plane.
When do we set off?”
“Let’s rest for one more day and set off the day after tomorrow,” she said.
…
In Madam Xue’s courtyard, two maids who were to accompany Xue Manyu to Reflection Cliff had already been chosen.
Both were dedicated servants of Madam Xue. Upon hearing that the Madam wanted her daughter to endure some hardship to reform her bad habits, they volunteered to accompany Xue Manyu to Reflection Cliff.
