—------------------—
Wei Yunze nodded with a smile, clearly having already discussed it with Wei Zhenshan:
"Brother Zhenshan is absolutely right."
Mengxue's talent lies in her ability to oversee the overall situation, and her business acumen is unmatched.
The sect is now thriving, with external alliances with Tiandou and internal resource control. Many complex matters depend on you.
The title "Elder Bingtang" is pleasing, but it feels somewhat distant and doesn't quite reflect the weight of your responsibilities.
Although Wei Tianfen was quick-tempered, he was also reasonable and said in a gruff voice:
"That's right! Sister Ye, please don't refuse!"
Without you, we old folks can't manage this huge mess of affairs in the sect!
You're still our 'Grand Manager,' we all follow your orders!"
After several years of adjustment, apart from the newly joined Yu Zhi Zu Niu family.
The Wei, Dugu, and Ye families have a good relationship, thanks to the fact that the sects are a huge community with shared interests, as well as the strategy of marriage alliances.
In addition, there was the reform of the sect system, the construction of Burning Heaven City, and the establishment of Burning Heaven Academy.
The other elders, including the newly appointed Wei Long and Dugu Xin, also spoke out to persuade and support him to stay.
They knew that while a powerful Title Douluo was valuable, a manager who could perfectly integrate and efficiently operate these powerful forces and vast resources was even more indispensable.
Ye Mengxue is one of the best "helmsmen" of the giant ship that is the Burning Heaven Sect.
However, taking care of sect affairs will reduce cultivation time.
If this continues, the losses will be significant.
Looking into the sincere and trusting eyes of everyone, Ye Mengxue felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
She had never intended to relinquish her responsibilities because of her promotion, but she never expected that the sect leader and the elders would express their support and urge her to stay so clearly.
She didn't even bother to give a slight bow; her voice remained gentle, yet carried an undeniable firmness.
"I am deeply grateful for the trust placed in me by the sect leader and all the elders, but I am unworthy of such praise."
Since the sect needs her, Mengxue will do her utmost to continue managing the sect's mundane affairs.
As for the title, it's just a code name. The Dark Elder and the other elders can call me by my name directly, or continue to address me as 'Sect Master.' Mengxue has no objection."
Ye Mengxue did not care about empty fame; she only wished to contribute her strength to the prosperity of the sect.
Although the Ye family now has her, a very special support-type titled Douluo.
But there's only one Ye family member.
Dugu Bo is the best at using poison in the world, with a soul power of level 94.
They also practiced alchemy.
To supply the entire sect with medicinal pills.
In the future, all the new alchemists under Bilin Pavilion will be disciples and grand-disciples of Dugu Bo.
Dugu Xin was Wei Zhenshan's only disciple.
Dugu Yan and Wei Feng were deeply in love.
Although Ye Lingling also had a good relationship with Wei Feng.
But for various other reasons, Ye Mengxue felt that she had to demonstrate her value.
Besides her top-notch management skills on the mainland, there's also the fact that the Ye family is primarily responsible for the trade.
Wei Zhenshan nodded in satisfaction:
"Alright! Since that's the case, then it's settled."
Mengxue remains in charge of all affairs inside and outside the sect; her status and authority remain unchanged, and we all need to cooperate with her.
To outsiders, he can be addressed as "Sect Leader," but within the sect, he is called "Elder Bingtang" or addressed by his given name to show closeness and reliance.
"That's exactly right!"
The crowd responded in unison once again.
Inside the council hall on the top floor of the Glazed Tile Pagoda of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi, dressed in white, was gentle and refined, but at this moment, his brows were slightly furrowed as he rubbed a piece of intelligence he had just received in his hand.
The above briefly records the Shrek Academy group's arrival in Burning Heaven City, their training in the Great Soul Arena, and scattered information such as Dai Mubai's serious injury.
This information, in itself, was not enough to warrant much attention from the leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
But one person involved in it left him with a lingering unease.
His beloved daughter, Ning Rongrong.
"Fengzhi, are you still thinking about Rongrong?"
A voice, gentle yet sharp, rang out.
Suddenly, an old man in white appeared in the hall. The old man had a face like jade, white hair and beard, but his figure was as straight as a sword, and his eyes shone with sharp light.
It was none other than the towering white jade pillar of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
Almost at the same moment Sword Douluo finished speaking, the space on the other side slightly distorted.
A figure emerged as if from the shadows, tall and broad-shouldered, with a somewhat eerie face—it was another guardian deity, Bone Douluo Gu Rong.
Gu Rong spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Old Swordsman is right, style."
Rongrong, that girl, went to Burning Heaven City with the Shrek Academy. I heard there was a conflict, and one of the boys was seriously injured.
Although Rongrong's cleverness and our reputation should ensure her safety, I, an old man, have been missing her terribly after so long.
Ning Fengzhi put down the intelligence report, sighed softly, and a helpless yet indulgent smile appeared on his face:
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, how could I not miss her?"
This girl has been away from home for so long, and she hasn't even sent back a complete letter.
He paused, a shrewd glint in his eyes.
"Moreover, her trip to Burning Heaven City reminded me of something."
Chen Xin's eyes flashed:
"You mean... the agreement with the Burning Heaven Sect regarding martial spirit research?"
"Exactly."
Ning Fengzhi nodded.
"Back then, we traded the mining rights to some of the sect's rare metal veins and several unique soul tool blueprints for an opportunity to study the mysteries of the Wei family's Burning Heaven Furious Dragon Martial Soul."
Although our researchers haven't made any breakthroughs since the beginning, and the Wei family's martial spirit secret is extremely well guarded, but...
Ning Fengzhi stood up, walked to the window, and looked in the direction of Burning Heaven City, his eyes deep:
"But that doesn't mean this path is blocked."
The Burning Heaven Sect has developed rapidly in recent years, and its martial spirit must have something unique about it.
In particular, the young master Wei Feng is exceptionally talented, having mutated into twin martial souls and possessing innate full soul power.
Rongrong is currently on the territory of the Burning Heaven Sect; this might be an opportunity.
Gu Rong frowned:
"Feng Zhi, do you mean we should go to Burning Heaven City ourselves?"
"Under the guise of visiting Rongrong, could we further explore the possibilities of that martial soul research?"
"Good."
Ning Fengzhi turned around, his tone certain.
"Firstly, we haven't seen Rongrong for a long time, and we miss her dearly."
Secondly, the Burning Heaven Sect's power is not to be underestimated. Rather than waiting for them to fully rise in the future, it is better to strengthen ties while the relationship is still good.
The agreement on martial spirit research would be an excellent starting point.
Even if we still can't grasp the core, we can learn more about the Burning Heaven Sect's secrets, and perhaps even pave the way for Rongrong's future.
Ning Fengzhi's last sentence was profound, seemingly reflecting a longer-term perspective.
Chen Xin nodded slightly. Although he was devoted to the sword path, he also understood the interests of the sect.
"The Burning Heaven Sect is indeed worth taking seriously. That Wei Zhenshan's strength is unfathomable."
"It's good to go and take a look, and see what kind of academy it is that has allowed our little witch to stay for so long."
