Lin Wan couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears.

He Ruyun observed carefully beside him and finally sighed.

"There is a problem with the soul of the head, and I'm afraid I can't continue to perform my duties."

In the second half of the sentence, she said to elders such as Xi Muwei, Ye Xiaomei.

The atmosphere became more dull.

The last trace of luck in some people's hearts was also broken by the cruel reality.

"Grandma He, since Master Lin cannot continue to perform his duties, we plead for you to take over the position of Master and lead us through the difficulties."

After a moment of silence, Ye Xiaomei spoke first.

This sentence immediately received everyone's response.

"That's right, Grandma He, come and be the head of the sect!"

“There is no more suitable person than you.”

"You are the Dinghai Shenjian of Ruyi Sect and the Taishan Beidou in the martial arts world. At present, people in the sect are in a turmoil. No one else can stabilize the situation except you!"

"Even if it is for the ancestors of all generations, for the inheritance of the sects, and for the vast number of disciples, please do not refuse!"

"That's right, Grandma He, we support you unconditionally!"

The elders talked and expressed their support for He Ruyun every word.

Lin Chengming stood alone in the crowd, looking around, feeling bitter.

An elder suddenly asked him: "Elder Lin, it's your turn to express your opinion. Do you agree with everyone's thoughts?"

In an instant, more than a dozen eyes fell on Lin Chengming at the same time.

"Of course I agree!"

Lin Chengming was shocked and said without hesitation: "Grandma He is highly respected and highly respected by the world. She has a lofty prestige in the minds of her disciples. She is the most suitable candidate for the leader!"

"Well said!"

"Elder Lin understands the righteousness very well, and we admire him."

"Even Elder Lin said this, Grandma He, just promise us."

Listening to the praises around him, Lin Chengming always felt that those people were mocking him, but there was no evidence.

Faced with the elders' persuasion, He Ruyun himself became indifferent.

As the only remaining master of Ruyi Sect, is there a difference between being the head of her or not?

Even if he doesn't become the head of the sect, no one dares to go against her will.

In addition, Lin Youhan's miserable end touched a string in He Ruyun's heart, making her think deeply about the future of Ruyimen and decided to make changes.

"I am old, I am lazy and have poor energy, and the affairs of the sect are complicated. How can I be the head of the sect?"

He Ruyun shook her head and said, "Actually, I am planning to quit my position as deputy leader, focus on my practice, and try to live as many years as possible to buy you time."

When everyone heard this, they all opened their eyes wide and were extremely shocked.

They never expected that He Ruyun would take the initiative to give up the position of head sect that was within reach.

Only Xi Muwei's expression was calm, and she seemed to have expected it.

Just last night, He Ruyun called her over and had a long and heart-warming conversation.

So she understood that the master really wanted to retreat behind the scenes, rather than pretending to shirk it.

"The martial arts world has been peaceful for more than 60 years, and now it has reached a crossroads again."

He Ruyun took all the puzzled expressions in his eyes and said slowly: "As Your Excellency Du Huaizhen abdicates and retires, Your Excellency Chen Hanzhou becomes the Martial Saint, Your Excellency Lin Chong is born, and the martial arts world is about to usher in a magnificent new era."

"I am a remnant party in the old era, and there is no ship that can carry me in the new era."

Speaking of this, He Ruyun's voice turned low and echoed in everyone's ears: "My body, spirit, and thinking cannot keep up with the development of the times. Since that's the case, why bother to be reluctant to power? You should let go when it's time to let go."

Only then did everyone realize that He Ruyun was indeed much older.

Not only wrinkles crawl across the cheeks, but also age spots appear on the skin.

"From today, I will officially retire and no longer be concerned about the specific affairs of the sect."

He Rujun slowly looked around and said loudly: "Who is the head of the sect, the deputy head of the sect will be the one you vote to decide on. You can also control the direction of how the sect moves forward in the future."

"While I am still alive, while I can still protect you, go out bravely. No matter what the final result is, I will take it with you!"

*******

A few days after that, news of a change in Ruyi Gate spread wildly.

Although under He Ruyun's order, Ruyimen tried hard to prevent the spread of negative information and avoid causing turmoil, there is no airtight wall in the world.

Through some hidden channels and the mouths of those who are interested, the other hidden sects all know the details.

Capital.

Zhenwu Gate Ancestral Court.

A quiet room located in the core area.

"This is our opportunity!"

Lu Guichen sat cross-legged, his eyes shining: "Ruyimen and Lin Chong are in trouble. As long as we choose to deliver an olive branch at this time, they will definitely stand on our side!"

Deputy head Li Chonghua and Wang Lingjun, the head of the Presbyterian Church, sat on the left and right sides of Lu Guichen. The three of them formed a triangle, representing the supreme power of the entire Zhenwu Sect.

"I didn't expect that Lin Chong was the disciple of Your Excellency Du Huaizhen and the son of Junior Brother Lin Yuan."

Li Chonghua sighed: "I finally understand why Your Excellency Du Huaizhen treats Lin Chong differently."

Wang Lingjun's eyes were lowered and he spoke slowly: "We should have thought of it for a long time. How could Your Excellency Du Huaizhen be so kind to a stranger for no reason?"

Lu Guichen couldn't help but frown.

In fact, he had already learned the truth about Lin Chong's life experience from Xu Jing and Chen Hanzhou, but out of some subtle psychology, he did not tell the other two.

"Senior Brother Li, Junior Brother Wang, who do you think we should send to Ruyimen for a trip?"

Lu Guichen once again brought the topic back on track.

Li Chonghua thought for a while: "How is Ning Zheng?"

"Can."

Lu Guichen quickly made a decision: "Since the failure to promote Danjin, Ning Zheng has been a little depressed. Aren't he and Lin Wan, the senior sister of Ruyimen, a couple? Taking this opportunity to cheer him up again."

Since he decided to choose the candidate for the Ruyi Sect, Lu Guichen no longer delayed and asked his disciples to call Ning Zheng to inform him to come for the interview.

Half an hour later.

Ning Zheng, dressed in white, entered the quiet room and first bowed to Lu Guichen, who was sitting upright, with a respectful attitude: "I pay homage to the head."

As a disciple of Du Huaizhen and a contemporary senior brother of Zhenwu Sect, Ning Zheng's status is quite special.

If he successfully enters Danjin, he can go hand in hand with the three leaders Lu, Li and Wang like Xu Jing, and get along with the same status as an equal.

But he failed.

And it failed several times.

Every time you fail, the difficulty of promoting Dan Jin increases by one point.

Unless there are miracles or special encounters, Ning Zheng, who has exhausted his potential, will be trapped at the peak of the spiritual power for the rest of his life and will never be able to reach a higher position.

Ning Zheng knew this result very well.
