You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

Fu Xueru looked at Qin Ran: "Jingzong offered to take you as his junior brother?"

"Yes, he only agreed to lend me the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm manual if I joined the Shaolin Temple. I originally thought he wanted me to become a monk, but later he proposed that I become a lay disciple of the Shaolin Temple and take me as his junior brother. He also gave me a Dharma name, Jingchan."

Fu Xueru smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad, you now have a Buddhist name too."

"I think it's good too. I'm now Jingzong's junior brother, which is quite senior in Shaolin Temple. His disciples all call me 'Uncle-Master' when they see me," Qin Ran said seriously.

Tang Da picked up the thread: "Besides letting you join the Shaolin Temple, are there any other requirements?"

"Master Jingzong instructed me to stand with Shaolin Temple through thick and thin in the future. If Shaolin Temple is in trouble, I must step forward to help."

"We know this without him saying it; since we've joined the Shaolin Temple, this is our responsibility!"

Qin Ran nodded: "Yes, I'm going to find Zhao Qingxu later to recommend Jingzong to him. I still think Jingzong is more suitable for the position of chief elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion."

Fu Xueru found it somewhat amusing: "Is that a recommendation? You just want Zhao Qingxu to be the chosen one for the Jingzong sect, am I right?"

"Pretty much. They gave me the secret manual, so I should at least show my appreciation."

"I don't think that's appropriate."

Tell me your thoughts.

Fu Xueru continued, "If you do that, what will the other sect leaders think? They will think that Jingzong became the chief elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion through back channels, which will affect his reputation and prestige."

"Besides, Jingzong is a monk, and monks believe in detachment from worldly desires. If you help Jingzong get in through connections, do you think he'll be angry if he finds out?"

"What monks value most is fairness and justice. If Jingzong finds out that you helped him get in through connections, he will most likely turn against you. If he takes back the secret manual and expels you from Shaolin Temple, you will have suffered a great loss."

Qin Ran nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Fu Xueru's analysis makes sense.

We still shouldn't rush to find Zhao Qingxu.

If not handled properly, it could backfire.

"Senior sister is so thoughtful. I'll listen to you and not go looking for Zhao Qingxu."

Tang Da chimed in, "Now that we have the manual, shouldn't we retreat?"

"It's too hasty to leave now. Let's wait a bit longer. I'm also very curious to see who will win this battle."

After chatting for a few minutes, Qin Ran couldn't wait to unravel the secrets of the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm manual...

at the same time.

Mo Yixi was very anxious.

Judging from today's situation, Jingzong is very likely to hand over the secret manual of the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm to Qin Ran.

To express his gratitude after receiving the manual, Qin Ran would most likely go to Zhao Qingxu and ask him to pre-select the position of Chief Elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion for Jingzong.

Qin Ran holds an absolute position in the martial arts world.

His words always carry weight.

Mo Yixi felt increasingly uneasy.

In the afternoon, he had to test the waters.

Time flew by and it was already afternoon.

The group returned to the arena.

Next up will be the ultimate showdown.

Jingzong, Mo Yixi, and Yin Qingxuan, the leader of the Quanzhen Sect, are fighting each other.

Finally, a winner will be determined.

Once everyone had arrived, Zhao Qingxu immediately announced the start of the competition.

"Before the competition begins, I have a few words to say!" Mo Yixi said.

"Sect Leader Mo, what do you have to say?"

Mo Yixi looked at Jingzong: "Master Jingzong, Qin Ran helped you this morning. If I'm not mistaken, you already lent him the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm manual, right?"

Qin Ran and Jing Zong were sitting together just now.

That already explains the problem.

Jingzong did not deny it: "This old monk did indeed pass the secret manual to Junior Brother Jingchan!"

"Junior Brother Jingchan?" Mo Yixi frowned.

"Junior Brother Jingchan is Qin Ran. I have already invited him to join the Shaolin Temple and accepted him as my junior brother."

Mo Yixi's face looked very pale.

Qin Ran is now a junior disciple of Jingzong.

Then he would secretly help Jingzong even more.

"Since that's the case..." Mo Yixi then looked at Qin Ran: "Qin Ran, you and Master Jingzong are now fellow disciples, you wouldn't be secretly helping him, would you?"

"Sect Leader Mo, you're overthinking it. This time, the competition among you sect leaders for the position of Chief Elder of the Martial Arts Association is absolutely fair and just. I will not participate in the entire process, and I also believe in Senior Brother's abilities. With his abilities, he doesn't need anyone's help at all; he can still win the title of Chief Elder!" Qin Ran said with an upright and incorruptible demeanor.

Fu Xueru was right.

Fortunately, he didn't go looking for Zhao Qingxu.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain.

Mo Yixi sneered: "You say that, but who knows if you've actually made any plans behind the scenes!"

At the same time, Zhao Qingxu said, "Sect Leader Mo, as the temporary representative of the Martial Arts Pavilion, I can tell you with certainty that the competition between you is absolutely fair and just. Qin Ran did not make any arrangements. Besides, this competition depends on yourselves. Everyone can see who wins and who loses. There is no way to cheat."

Mo Yixi nodded without saying anything.

It seems that Qin Ran did not give Jingzong any special treatment.

That put his mind at ease.

Qin Ran stood up and walked over: "Speaking of which, I'd like to say a few words. I suggest we change the competition rules."

"How do you want to change it?" Zhao Qingxu asked Qin Ran.

"I don't think a three-on-one fight is appropriate; it's too chaotic. I still think two-on-one fights are more prudent."

"But how can three people fight in pairs?" Zhao Qingxu asked.

Actually, Mo Yixi didn't want the three of them to fight.

This is indeed too chaotic.

"It's very simple. The three of us will draw lots, and one of the lots will be marked. Whoever draws the marked lot will be temporarily eliminated, and the other two will fight each other. The winner will then have a final battle with the person who drew the marked lot," Mo Yixi said with a stern expression.

Qin Ran also thought his method was good.

After thinking it over, Zhao Qingxu agreed.

He immediately ordered people to prepare.

Afterwards, Mo Yixi and the other two prepared to draw lots.

In the end, it was Mo Yixi who drew the lot to mark.

Now that he's been drawn, he has to go on stage.

This is much easier than a three-on-one battle.

Next up is Jingzong versus Yin Qingxuan.

At this moment, Yin Qingxuan felt a bit of pressure.

That morning, he witnessed Jingzong defeat the leader of the Maoshan Sect by using the Ten Thousand Buddha Palm technique.

Now that I'm facing him, I can't help but feel pressured.

"Master Jingzong, Sect Leader Yin, please," Zhao Qingxu greeted.

Jingzong and Yin Qingxuan stepped onto the arena.

Qin Ran returned to his seat and began to watch the game.

The main techniques of the Quanzhen School include the Innate Skill, the Double Yang Divine Palm, the Quanzhen Swordplay, the Golden Goose Skill, and the Big Dipper Formation.

These are all the signature skills of the Quanzhen School.

In the previous match, Qin Ran also carefully observed Yin Qingxuan's moves.

This person possesses extremely profound internal strength, and his moves are unpredictable and difficult to deal with.

The next match is going to be very exciting...
