Reincarnation: Trying to pretend to be ordinary, but it turns out it's really impossible.

Upon hearing this, the faces of all the family heads present instantly darkened, their expressions filled with rejection.

The authorities already hold power over firearms; if they also learn ancient martial arts, then these ancient martial arts families will have absolutely no advantage or way out.

Su Xingbai spoke calmly.

"This is not something I can decide on my own. We will discuss it internally and then give you an answer."

Lu Zhen immediately nodded and agreed to wait for the results.

That evening, everyone immediately convened two meetings to specifically discuss whether to open the Ancient Martial Arts Scripture Pavilion to the authorities.

Most of the heads of major clans held opposing views.

"The government already has firearms and military force; if they're allowed to learn ancient martial arts now, our ancient martial arts families will have absolutely no place to stand!"

Su Xingbai looked at everyone and asked a question in return.

"You're always trying to outdo the authorities, what are you trying to achieve?"

The family heads were stunned and speechless.

They asked themselves honestly, were their families law-abiding and law-abiding for generations?

I never intended to oppose the authorities, nor did I have any intention of causing trouble.

Su Xingbai continued in a deep voice,

"Is it a good thing or a bad thing that the government's practice of ancient martial arts can strengthen the entire nation of China?"

Su Ningning immediately chimed in, "Of course it's great news! A really great thing!!"

After careful consideration, everyone nodded in agreement, acknowledging that this was indeed a good thing that would benefit the country.

"Since it's a good thing, why can't it be opened to them?" Su Xingbai's gaze swept over the crowd.

One of the family heads hesitated and said, "But since ancient times, ancient martial arts have never been made public; this is an old rule."

"Since it's the same old rule, then let's learn to break it." Su Xingbai calmly looked at everyone.

"Staying stagnant and working in isolation will only shrink the ancient martial arts community, leading to a talent gap and gradual decline."

What we want is to bring ancient Chinese martial arts out of its niche circle.

To become a supreme foundation that commands respect and fame across the world! To make other nations tremble at the mere mention of our Chinese name, and dare not invade.

The heads of the various families were deeply shaken, their eyes instantly gleaming.

Finally, they all relented and agreed to open it to the authorities.

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Su Xingbai changed the subject:

"It can be opened to the government, but it is by no means a selfless donation."

The purpose of today's meeting is not to argue about whether or not to open it up, but to discuss and clarify things.

We must use our ancient martial arts resources to exchange for equal privileges and conditions.

The group of family heads looked at each other, and finally the head of the Gu family spoke first, his tone filled with conviction.

"Sir, we'll all listen to you. Just tell us how to arrange things."

The other family heads nodded in agreement.

Su Xingbai slowly spoke, stating the exchange conditions he had already thought of.

"First, our ancient martial arts families are mostly engaged in business and do not get involved in politics."

The opening of the Scripture Pavilion's martial arts resources is in exchange for corresponding government positions.

Upon hearing this, all the family heads' eyes lit up instantly, and they all cheered inwardly, thinking that this offer was too good to pass up!

Su Xingbai continued to add:

"Secondly, official political positions are merely a stepping stone. If officials want to exchange for cultivation techniques or other things..."

There must be a corresponding equivalent in exchange; we will never give anything away for free.

Everyone was completely convinced and had no further objections.

After finalizing the cooperation terms, Su Xingbai officially established the new rules and structure of the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance.

"From this day forward, the Huaxia Ancient Martial Arts Alliance is officially established."

Each family no longer identifies itself as a clan, but is uniformly incorporated into the alliance system.

All heads of households are ranked and appointed according to their age.

The eldest is the First Elder, followed by the Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and Fifth Elder. They completely abandon family power and prioritize the alliance for the common good.

All disciples can choose the cultivation method they want based on their own strengths, and... Master.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement, their hearts filled with hope for the revival of ancient martial arts.

Su Xingbai immediately assigned a ranking:

The oldest person present was the head of the Lu family, who was appointed as the Grand Elder.

The head of the Xiao family is the second elder, the head of the Meng family is the third elder, and the head of the Gu family is the fourth elder.

The youngest head of the Pei family has been appointed as the Fifth Elder.

With the rankings finalized, Su Xingbai changed the subject, talking about the final arrangements for the Di, Jiang, and Li families.

"Although the three main culprits, Di, Jiang, and Li, have been arrested and brought to justice, their families still have a large number of remaining disciples and resources in their hometowns."

These resources cannot be wasted, and the remaining personnel cannot be left unattended.

All resources will be centrally collected by the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance for public use.

The remaining personnel will be handed over to the authorities for processing.

The heads of the families were thrilled. Not to mention the Li and Jiang families, how abundant must the resources of the Di family be!

"I have arranged helicopters. Disciples who are physically fit can set off immediately to check resources one by one."

In particular, important resources should be moved first to prevent the other party from receiving the news and secretly transferring their belongings.

Upon hearing this, Su Ningning immediately perked up, her face beaming with eagerness.

Su Xingbai turned to look at her, his tone resolute.

"You stay here and rest; I'll lead the rest of the group."

Su Ningning's face immediately fell, and she looked at him with a sullen expression.

"Xiao Bai, you're not good at fighting, you'll only make things worse if you go. Let me go instead!"

Su Xingbai sighed helplessly.

"I rely on my brains, not force. I must personally oversee and control the situation."

Su Yuan was also left at the camp to keep Su Ningning company.

The two stood side by side at the door, helplessly watching several helicopters slowly take off and disappear into the distance.

The elders on board were beaming with excitement, as if they had found a second spring in their lives.

Su Ningning was utterly bored.

A few hours later, the roar of engines sounded again, and the helicopter convoy returned.

Several elders and disciples disembarked from the plane, each looking radiant and exuding joy.

Su Ningning could tell at a glance that they had had a good harvest. She touched her white belly and sighed with regret.

"Little guy, you came at the worst possible time, making your mother miss such a big 'treasure hunt' event."

Immediately afterwards, everyone began unloading the cargo from the helicopter.

Box after box, piled high with goods, were unloaded one after another, forming a small mountain, an astonishing quantity.

The head of the Gu family, now the Fourth Elder, looked delighted and couldn't help but sigh.

"That was so satisfying! I knew the Di family had deep pockets, but I never imagined they had so many treasures hidden away—they were so well concealed!"

The other elders all agreed.

"These are just the tip of the iceberg; a large amount of supplies are still on their way back."

Don't arrange for all of these things to be transported to the Xiao family.

The Xiao family estate is large and relatively secluded. After discussing it with everyone, Su Xingbai decided to build the scripture pavilion here, which also includes the treasure pavilion.

The items in the treasure pavilion were mainly provided by the Di, Li, and Jiang families.
