Chapter 318 Poor Fu Xuan
In appointing the new general, the marshal always consults the opinions of the previous general.

Considering the possibility that the generals of the Immortal Ship often die on the battlefield, the candidates for generals were determined long ago.

On the Luofu Immortal Ship, although Fu Xuan frequently urged Jing Yuan to recommend her to succeed him as general as soon as possible, Jing Yuan did not do so.

In reality, Jing Yuan had already reported Fu Xuan to the marshal as his successor.

If something happens to Jing Yuan, then Fu Xuan will definitely be the one to succeed him as general.

Unless there are special reasons, the marshal will not directly transfer people from the Alliance headquarters to other immortal ships to serve as generals.

Generally, those qualified to serve as generals will hold important positions on the six imperial ships of various immortal vessels to accumulate prestige, and then inherit the position of general on the immortal vessel on which they serve as one of the six imperial ships.

Like Fu Xuan, she wasn't originally someone who grew up on the Luofu Immortal Ship.

Later, he came from other immortal ships to Luofu to serve as the Grand Diviner, and gradually became a candidate for general.

But all of that is in the past.

After Fu Le appeared, he undoubtedly became Jing Yuan's successor.

Fu Xuan, who was originally a candidate for general, has now been excluded from the list of candidates for general.

Although Fu Xuan had already accepted this reality before.

But she had only been guessing before.

However, General Huaiyan and General Feixiao have come to Luofu Immortal Ship because they have the demands of the Immortal Ship Alliance's higher-ups, which is to force Jingyuan to step down from his position as general.

As the apparent heir of Jingyuan, Fu Le naturally had to avoid suspicion at this time.

It was precisely because Fu Le needed to avoid suspicion, while Fu Xuan did not, that this was the case.

Therefore, Fu Xuan was certain that his dream of becoming a general had been completely shattered.

"Ah, so that's it."

Fu Le suddenly realized.

He never expected that the higher-ups at Xianzhou would want him to succeed Jingyuan.

However, he quickly realized that it didn't matter whether he was the one to succeed Jing Yuan or not; even Fu Xuan would have been fine.

The key issue is to get Jingyuan to abdicate as soon as possible.

However, because Fu Le had the blessing of the Emperor Bow Master as a guarantee of credibility, he could be more proactive than Fu Xuan in this matter.

After all, if Fu Xuan were to become the successor, she would have no choice but to wait.

However, if Fu Le is the heir, he can replace Jing Yuan.

"Those old guys really hate Jingyuan."

Fu Le couldn't help but shake his head.

The league's higher-ups were indeed extremely dissatisfied with Jing Yuan's long waiting time. This was not because the league's higher-ups had any personal grudges against Jing Yuan, nor because they wanted to kick Jing Yuan out quickly and replace him with their successors.

Their dissatisfaction with Jingyuan was purely a political demand.

As the highest administrator of the Immortal Boat Alliance, the various immortal boats within the alliance have far too much autonomy.

In their view, the longer the generals of the various immortal ships stay on their respective ships, the less stable the immortal ship alliance will be.

After all, although the generals of the immortal ships are nominally one of the six emperors, their actual status is no different from that of local tyrants.

Therefore, immortals like General Huaiyan and undefeated individuals like Jingyuan were inevitably viewed with hostility by the higher-ups of the Immortal Ship.

As central administrators, it is natural for them to distrust regional officials.

Political struggle is an unavoidable part of the Fairy Boat Alliance's operations.

"How about it, aren't you surprised?"

Seeing Fu Le smile, Fu Xuan asked him with dissatisfaction.

"How could that be? I am completely devoted to General Jingyuan, how could I possibly covet his position?"

"I'm not someone else."

As she spoke, Fu Le glanced at Fu Xuan, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Fu Le was quite interested in teasing Fu Xuan.

Upon seeing this, Fu Xuan clenched her fists. Of course, she knew that Fu Le was referring to her.

As the department that manages all the information of the Luofu Immortal Ship, how could Fu Xuan not know about the teasing of most of the Immortal Ship people about her behavior?

Phrases like "Fu Taibu's intentions are known to all" circulated among the upper echelons of the Luofu Immortal Ship.

But Fu Taibu never cared about this.

After all, she was truly on the path toward her goal.

And that's exactly what she thought.

But now she has lost her qualification as a candidate general, and more importantly, the next general she is to assist is Fu Le, who is much younger than Fu Xuan.

Although the vast majority of the Immortal Ship Generals do not live long.

However, Fu Le is very strong. He possesses abundant power, making it difficult for him to die. With the addition of the Hunting Envoy's power, no one can kill him.

Moreover, Fu Le also has her assistance.

Fu Xuan was very confident in her abilities. She believed that with her assistance, Fu Le would not die as easily as the other Immortal Ship generals.

But this would make it even less likely for her to inherit Fu Le's position as general from him.

After all, Fu Xuan is not the kind of person who would hurt others for his own benefit.

Looking back at his previous actions, Fu Xuan felt like a clown.

This left her feeling incredibly confused.

But all of this was caused by her own actions, and she had no right to hold Fu Le accountable for it.

On the other side of Fu Le, Fu Le saw that Fu Xuan was not angry, which made Fu Le instantly understand her thoughts.

Although Fu Xuan was pessimistic about his future.

But Fu Le is optimistic about her future.

Because no one knew that Fu Le's goal was no longer just to become a mere Immortal Ship General. His goal was to become a Star God.

And he is now on the path to realizing his plan.

Who knows, he might one day ascend to become a Star God.

If Jing Yuan had resigned from his position as general before this, Fu Le would still have been willing to serve as general for another term.

After all, as a former member of the Immortal Ship, becoming an Immortal Ship General was once one of Fu Le's goals.

Although his goals are now much higher and he no longer intends to move towards his former goals, Fu Le would not refuse if those goals came to him on their own.

He was still willing to serve as the general of the Immortal Ship on Luofu.

But he certainly won't remain the Immortal Boat General forever.

For example, following Fu Xuan's plan, they would continue until her demonic possession manifested.

After all, it's impossible for Fu Le to spend hundreds of years to finally become a Star God.

Although becoming a Star God after spending hundreds of years is already quite an impressive feat for others, even geniuses don't have that kind of confidence.

But given that he could accelerate time in other worlds, and this world had already reached a crucial point in the main storyline, how could Fu Le possibly wait that long?

It is estimated that Fu Le will be able to ascend to the position of Star God in a few years at most.

Therefore, even if Fu Le becomes a general, he can only hold the position for a few years at most.

When the time comes, the position of Immortal Ship General will still be passed on to Fu Xuan.

If Jing Yuan persists longer, until Fu Le ascends to the position of Star God, then Fu Xuan might even be able to directly take over the position of Star God from Jing Yuan.

In Fu Le's view, the most likely outcome is that Jing Yuan will eventually pass the throne directly to Fu Xuan.

When General Huaiyan and General Feixiao arrived together, all of the six high-ranking officials of Luofu Immortal Ship, except for Jingyuan, should have been on high alert for the arrival of these two generals.

After all, what they were seeing was exactly what Fu Xuan was seeing now.

But Fu Le, who was familiar with the plot, knew very well that both General Huaiyan and General Feixiao were on Jingyuan's side.

Therefore, this questioning of the Star Train was actually just a formality.

Neither of them intended to make things difficult for Jingyuan.

Or perhaps this is a tacit understanding among the generals.

After all, the generals' power comes from the marshal, so they are naturally closer to the marshal.

The Marshal himself and those in the alliance's upper echelons who enjoy playing power games are completely different in style.

She needed to trust her generals more.

This is precisely why the generals need to be more harmonious among themselves.

Therefore, what was a crisis for Jingyuan in the eyes of the other six emperors was nothing to Fu Le.

Therefore, Fu Le probably won't have the chance to serve as the Immortal Boat General again.

However, in this case, Fu Xuan would be the one who would suffer.

After all, if she were to take over the position of general from Fu Le, she should be able to succeed Fu Le as the Star God.

But if she waits for Jingyuan, who knows how long she'll have to wait?

After all, Jing Yuan is known for his good mentality.

On average, people from the Immortal Ship will show signs of demonic possession around the age of eight hundred, but this is, after all, an average figure.

Someone with Jingyuan's excellent mindset might live to be a thousand years old.

Fu Xuan might stay in the position of Grand Diviner for several hundred years.

"Oh right, I think I forgot about myself?"

Fu Le suddenly realized that this was without Fu Le present.

Now that Fu Le is here, and Fu Le has already mastered the method to deal with the Demonic Yin Body, the problem he faces is how to eliminate the Demonic Yin Body of the Immortal Ship People without harming the Alliance's political system.

So it's uncertain how long Jingyuan will live.

"puff."

The thought that Fu Xuan would have to wait hundreds of years before he could take over the position of general made Fu Le laugh.

"why are you laughing!"

Fu Xuan, hands on his hips, loudly reprimanded Fu Le.

Seeing Fu Le's sly smile really annoyed Fu Xuan.

"Sorry sorry!"

Fu Le quickly waved his hand in apology.

Seeing this, Fu Xuan did nothing to Fu Le. She just stared at him fiercely, as if trying to see through his thoughts.

Fu Le felt a chill run down his spine from Fu Xuan's gaze.

He felt that Fu Xuan was becoming increasingly irritable towards him, and no longer showed the same respect he had towards Jing Yuan.

Although Fu Xuan didn't show much respect to Jing Yuan.

But it's still better than it being for Fu Le.

This left Fu Le feeling helpless.

Therefore, he wanted to change Fu Xuan's attitude towards him.

"Fu Qing, we'll be working together in the future, can't you be a little nicer to me?"

"Oh, have I done anything wrong to you, Fu Le?"

Fu Xuan crossed his arms and hummed softly.

"How about I help you relieve the pain caused by that eye?"
