Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Of course there is. As the name suggests, the Deputy sect leader is to share the sect leader's burden. Think about it, not only does sect leader Hong have to take care of the sect's Affairs, but he also has to serve the Grand Elder. If there are any major matters in the pugilistic world, he has to personally deal with other families and sects. There are too many things to do, and the responsibility is too heavy. So, it is necessary to have an additional Deputy sect leader. What do you think, sect leader Hong?" Xue Jianfeng said bluntly.

Everyone was looking at Hong Qingyuan. At this point, it would be unreasonable if he, the sect leader, did not express his stance.

Da! Da! Da!

Hong Qingyuan tapped the table again and again. After keeping everyone in suspense, he suddenly grinned."If that's the case, then we'll have one more vice sect leader. I'll have to rely on him in the future."

"What?" Chi qianqiu and the others were instantly shocked. The managing vice sect leader clearly wanted to share the power of the sect leader. Compared to them, the sect leader, Hong Qingyuan, had suffered the greatest loss. They had thought that Hong Qingyuan would reject it no matter what, but he had actually agreed so directly. What was going on?

Xue Jianfeng and his father, Xue Liping, were also a little surprised. They had even prepared a set of excuses to deal with the other party's shirking, but they did not expect Hong Qingyuan to be so tactful and agree without a second word.

"Thank you, sect leader Hong, for your help," Xue Jianfeng nodded his head slightly, as if he had already picked up the stance of the managing vice sect leader. When he looked at Chi qianqiu and the others again, it was obvious that he was looking down on them. This new number two figure of the Council of Elders got into character very quickly.

"Sect leader Hong, this is no small matter. Shouldn't we report this to the Grand Elder?" Chi qianqiu frowned. He did not know what Hong Qingyuan was thinking, but this matter was clearly not a good thing for him and the other elders. With his deep friendship with the Grand Elder, he believed that the Grand Elder would not let Xue Jianfeng climb onto the necks of the elders for no reason.

"This ..." Hong Qingyuan tapped on the table and said ambiguously,""The matter of the managing vice sect leader is indeed of great importance, but Grand Elder has been in closed door cultivation recently, so I don't dare to rashly disturb him. What are the opinions of the others?"

"I don't think it's necessary. According to our snow sword sect's usual practice, only the selection of sect leader and great elder needs to be reported to the Supreme elder for confirmation. Other matters can be discussed and decided by our Elders Council. If we have to disturb the Supreme elder for every small matter, then what are we even needed for?" Xue Liping was the first to object.

"That's what I'm thinking as well. The Grand elder's seclusion concerns the future of the entire snow sword sect. How can we disturb him just because of a small matter like mine? if anyone insists on going, I suggest that he should go find the Grand Elder himself and see what the outcome will be. " Xue Jianfeng looked at Chi qianqiu and the other elders with ill intentions.

"..." Everyone fell silent and looked at Hong Qingyuan. Communicating with the Grand Elder was the sect leader's special privilege. Other people could not skip ranks and report it unless there were special circumstances. Moreover, disturbing the Grand elder's seclusion was a serious matter. Ordinary people would not have the courage to do so.

Hong Qingyuan pondered for a moment and finally decided,""How about this, this matter does need to be reported to the Grand Elder, but it's not important enough to be reported alone. So, I'll report it together the next time I visit the Grand Elder. Before that, the matter of the standing vice sect leader is decided."

"Sect leader is wise," Xue Jianfeng and Xue Liping looked at each other and smiled.

Chi qianqiu and the others could only shake their heads helplessly. Since Hong Qingyuan had already made the decision, it was useless no matter how much they objected. It should be known that the sect leader had the final say. Furthermore, Xue Jianfeng and Xue Liping had the right to speak as well. Hence, they could only accept their fate.

"Alright, since the sect leader thinks so highly of me, then I, Xue Jianfeng, will take up the position. As the saying goes, a new official has to be strict when he takes office. As the managing vice sect leader, this is the first time I'm attending the elder conference. I can't let everyone down too much." Xue Jianfeng paused for a moment, then his gaze fell on a woman sitting in the last row. It was his cold master, Xu Xiaodong.

Xu Xiaodong's heart skipped a beat when he looked at him like that. The last time the other party launched an attack, it was Bing Wuqing who had managed to stop it. Now, Bing Wuqing was still in seclusion, and Xue Jianfeng had become the Vice sect leader who was second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people. If he were to launch another attack in public, what would he have to fight against him?

As expected, snow Jianfeng's next sentence was directed at Leng Leng,"As the Vice sect leader, my first topic of discussion is to discuss coold again."

"What else is there, coold? We've already reached a conclusion in the last meeting, do you want to overthrow it?" Xu Xiaodong quickly retorted.

"What's your position? do you have the right to speak now?" Xue Jianfeng glanced at her in disdain.

Xu Xiaodong's face and ears turned red with anger, and she couldn't say a word for a long time. Indeed, in terms of status, she was only the last elder candidate, while the other party was the dignified Executive Vice sect leader. They were on completely different levels.

At this moment, Hong Qingyuan stepped forward to help,""It's fine, just say what you want. However, coold's matter has already been settled, there's no need to keep staring at her. "

He had already taken a big step back by making the decision to allow the executive Vice sect leader to enter the sect. If he continued to tolerate and compromise on such a cold matter, it would be a little lacking in his bottom line. In the eyes of Chi qianqiu and the others, they might think that he had secretly reached a tacit understanding with Xue Jianfeng and Xue Liping, and then they would be at odds with each other. That was not a situation he wanted to see.

"Vice sect leader, it's true that a new official has to set fire three times. However, aren't you being too persistent by repeatedly setting fire to the same place?" The third elder chuckled coldly. Chi qianqiu and the others also revealed a playful look.

"You've all misunderstood. Although I'm still referring to Leng Leng, I'm not talking about her disobeying orders during her training. Instead, I'm talking about her other serious crime, which is leaking our sect's mental cultivation method to outsiders!" Xue Jianfeng said with certainty.

"What?" When he said this, everyone, including Xu Xiaodong, was shocked. Disobeying the sect's orders could be a light or heavy matter, and a simple confinement could pass it. But if it was really as Xue Jianfeng had said, and coldly revealed the sect's heart technique to outsiders, then the crime would be really serious. This was practically an act of betraying the sect!
