Chapter 925 - 1025: Earnest Persuasion
It doesn't mean that disciples from other sects aren't qualified to be the next Sect Leader,there have been complaints before, saying that the Sect Leader position has been rooted at Taichu Peak, and disciples from other sects have no way to become the Sect Leader!
And previously, it was your Junior Brother Tian Chu who was the most vocal. And now, when someone from your Taifeng Peak is chosen as the next Sect Leader, you disagree!
"Junior Brother Tian Chu, do you think it's better for Nephew Tianfan to be the Sect Leader of Taichu Sect or just the Head of Taifeng Peak? Don't you know that if he becomes the Sect Leader of Taichu Sect, our Taichu Sect would flourish for a thousand ages?" Tian Chu Zhenren said!
"I don't care about any prosperity; I just want my disciple Tianfan now. I asked him back then, and he said he chose the position of Head of Taifeng Peak, not the Sect Leader of Taichu Sect!" Tian Chu Zhenren said!
Tian Chu Zhenren, upon hearing Tian Chu Zhenren's words, immediately responded: "You call that asking; it looks more like guiding. Using your position as his master, you influenced Ye Tianfan to opt for Taifeng Peak's Head position, and then you say you allowed Ye Tianfan to choose himself?"
Tian Chu Zhenren's face slightly reddened upon hearing Tian Chu Zhenren's words, as if he recalled the time he let Ye Tianfan make a choice!
Back then, Taifeng Peak was thriving, and the incident hadn't happened yet!
"Little Seven, tell me whether you want to be the head of Taifeng Peak or the Sect Leader of Taichu Sect in the future. Let me tell you, if you become the Sect Leader of Taichu Sect, you will have to live at Taichu Peak, a place unfamiliar to you. I also heard rumors that the disciples at Taichu Peak are somewhat exclusive, though these are just rumors and not true, so don't worry. However, if you become the Head of Taifeng Peak, your fellow senior disciples will cooperate fully with you, and Taifeng Peak is more laid-back with nothing much to do, you see how relaxed I am, right?"
Then Ye Tianfan, feeling exasperated, said that if he could reach that level in the future, he would choose the position of Head of Taifeng Peak.
Admittedly, there was indeed a bit of guidance back then, but the final choice was still up to Ye Tianfan, right? He chose the Head of Taifeng Peak, after all. If he really wanted to be the Sect Leader of Taichu Sect, he would choose it despite any hardships!
"Who did I guide? If Tianfan really wants to be the Sect Leader of Taichu Sect, no matter how I guide him, he wouldn't choose anything other than Head." Tian Chu Zhenren said with determination, then looked at the disgruntled Tian Chu Zhenren and continued: "Senior Brother Taichu, if before the incident Tianfan had indeed chosen the position of Sect Leader, I would fully support him. But you know the current situation at Taifeng Peak; there is only one disciple, Tianfan. If he becomes the Sect Leader of Taichu Sect, what happens to Taifeng Peak? I would truly be all alone."
Tian Chu Zhenren heard Tian Chu Zhenren's words and reacted quickly, "Don't pull that trick on me, I allocated those disciples to you, right? And they are ten elite-level disciples; their talent may not match Nephew Tianfan's, but it's not bad. With growth over hundreds of years, they can reach high levels in Qian Yuan or lower levels in Baihui. Wouldn't this talent be much stronger than your previous disciples?"
Tian Chu Zhenren was silent upon hearing Tian Chu Zhenren's words. Indeed, Tian Chu Zhenren did send disciples to Taifeng Peak, and their talents were decent enough to reach at least Elder level given time. However, discipleship at Taifeng Peak relies on fate; not anyone can join just because they want to.
Moreover, after guiding Ye Tianfan, Tian Chu Zhenren lost interest in the rest, considering other talents as unimportant when compared to Ye Tianfan, even Zhang Youji, the former Demon Sect Leader and holder of the world's best talent, is a mere side piece.
Claiming Taifeng Peak recruits disciples based on fate is just an excuse; if it were truly based on fate, Tian Chu Zhenren wouldn't have competed so fiercely for Ye Tianfan before, because who would want disciples with inferior talent?
At that time, having recently lost all disciples except Ye Tianfan, Tian Chu Zhenren wasn't in the state of mind to recruit more. It's simply bad timing by Tian Chu Zhenren, and if he sent ten more disciples now or in five or ten years, the outcome would be different!
But if Tian Chu Zhenren wishes to replace Ye Tianfan with some disciples, Tian Chu Zhenren would never agree, no matter how many disciples come, he wouldn't agree!
"No matter how talented they are, if you want to use them to replace Ye Tianfan, I definitely won't agree." Tian Chu Zhenren insisted!
Tian Chu Zhenren nearly laughed after hearing Tian Chu Zhenren's words, feeling enraged: "When did I say those disciples were to replace Nephew Tianfan? What do you consider those disciples, and Nephew Tianfan? Items for trading? I sent several disciples to you because Taifeng Peak currently has only Nephew Tianfan as a disciple, and when Nephew Tianfan was out on a training mission, only you were left at Taifeng Peak. I worried you might feel lonely, so I sent disciples for you to teach, to help you move on from that mood. Do you think I sent them to replace Nephew Tianfan?"
Tian Chu Zhenren felt embarrassed upon hearing this, realizing he might have misunderstood his senior brother's intentions, though Tian Chu Zhenren still felt his senior brother was trying to pull him away!
"Alright, Senior Brother, that was my misunderstanding. I apologize, but you won't get Tianfan; he should stay as Head of Taifeng Peak, not Sect Leader of Taichu Sect!" Tian Chu Zhenren resolutely declared.
Tian Chu Zhenren calmed down, surprised at his stubborn junior brother's apology, noting how significant Nephew Tianfan must be to him. However, having him as Sect Leader of Taichu Sect wouldn't mean he'd be exiled; they wouldn't be separated, considering Tian Chu Zhenren could reach Taichu Peak from Taifeng Peak in merely ten minutes. Why act as if it were a matter of life and death?
Tian Chu Zhenren stopped arguing with Tian Chu Zhenren and straightforwardly said: "Let's do this; it's not suitable for us to decide. Let Ye Tianfan choose his own path, be it Sect Leader of Taichu Sect or Head of Taifeng Peak, we won't intervene. We will support whatever he chooses unconditionally. Is this acceptable?"
