The Condor Heroes: The Quanzhen Sect has produced a vengeful master!

In Chongyang Palace.

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen gathered here, along with Wang Jiuling and Zhen Zhibing.

"Zhibing, nine years old!"

Looking at the two of them, Ma Yu said with a sigh:

"Regarding Zhao Zhijing's collusion with foreign enemies, after some thought, we realize that we weren't entirely without fault!"

"The fact that we haven't been able to decide on a chief disciple, and that position remains vacant, is the root cause of this conflict!"

"Now that we're all getting older, it's time to confirm who will be the chief disciple!"

"It's time to hand over some of the responsibilities of the Quanzhen School to you young people!"

"You two are the ones we have the best chance of winning! The chief disciple will be chosen from either of you!"

As she spoke, Ma Yu looked at Zhen Zhibing and Wang Jiuling with a gentle smile on her face.

Zhen Zhibing looked directly at Wang Jiuling and then spoke.

"Master Master! This disciple believes that Junior Brother Jiuling is the best candidate for Chief Disciple!"

"Junior Brother Jiuling's martial arts skills are superb, no less than mine. Moreover, he is clear about his grudges and hates evil, making him the perfect candidate!"

At this moment, Zhen Zhibing is being sincere.

He had already decided to confess his personal motives, and he felt that once he did, he would definitely not be able to be appointed as the chief.

Rather than doing that, it's better to do someone a favor.

Ma Yu then looked at Wang Jiuling.

"Jiuling, what do you think?"

Wang Jiuling smiled and shook his head.

"This disciple thanks my senior brother for his trust, and also thanks the headmaster and all the other senior uncles for their high regard!"

"It's just that I'm used to a life of leisure and indulgence, spending all my time practicing martial arts. As for my study of Taoist classics, or even my experience in managing the Quanzhen Sect, I am far inferior to you, Senior Brother!"

"This disciple believes that Senior Brother is more suitable for the position of Chief!"

Wang Jiuling never intended to be bound to the Quanzhen Sect from the beginning; his ambitions lay elsewhere.

Zhen Zhibing turned around and looked at Wang Jiuling with some surprise, feeling immense admiration.

What a fine junior brother Jiuling! In terms of moral character, Zhen Zhibing is truly ashamed of himself.

In the past, Zhen Zhibing was concerned about his image, and even if he knew he was inferior, he would most likely have chosen to put on a brave face.

But now that he has come to terms with it, Zhen Zhibing knelt down directly in front of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

"This disciple is guilty and fears I am unfit to be the chief disciple!"

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen were somewhat surprised by Zhen Zhibing's sudden action.

"Zhibing! What crime have you committed?"

Zhen Zhibing knelt down, took out the portrait of Xiaolongnu he had drawn from his bosom, and began to tell the story of his secret love for Xiaolongnu.

"..."

"Disciple...disciple harbored wicked thoughts that should not have been! Not only did it affect my cultivation, but I was also ashamed to speak out when I was defamed!"

"That night, I did go out late to get some fresh air, but it was also because I was thinking of Miss Long that I couldn't fall asleep, so I can't explain it..."

"If it weren't for Junior Brother Jiuling's reminder, I'm afraid I would have made one mistake after another!"

Zhen Zhibing poured out all his thoughts to the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

"This disciple has failed in his conduct and dares not aspire to the position of chief disciple any longer. I only beg the headmaster to punish me!"

Zhen Zhibing knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The air in Chongyang Palace quieted down, and the Seven Masters of Quanzhen fell silent.

Zhen Zhibing knelt on the ground with his eyes closed. He was already imagining how Ma Yu would punish him, and he also thought about the anger that his master, Qiu Chuji, would unleash.

But at this moment, Zhen Zhibing felt incredibly relaxed.

When he had something to hide, he lived under constant pressure. Now that he's told everything, he's not as scared as he imagined.

All that remained was a sense of relief.

To Zhen Zhibing's surprise, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen simply looked at each other and sighed.

Ma Yu shook her head and slowly spoke.

"Zhibing! You're getting too attached to appearances!"

"You had selfish thoughts, but you failed to understand that having selfish thoughts is not terrible, because everyone has to face selfish thoughts, even saints do."

"What's truly terrifying is letting this selfishness become your shackles!"

"If you keep it hidden in your heart and live a hypocritical life every day, eventually selfishness will become your inner demon, and that will truly destroy you!"

Ma Yu looked at Zhen Zhibing with a face full of relief.

"The fact that you are aware of all this, accept it willingly, and confess it means that you are not troubled by selfishness. If that's the case, what crime have you committed?"

Zhen Zhibing looked up, staring at Ma Yu in disbelief, then at the other members of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

Especially Qiu Chuji.

Qiu Chuji walked out, sighed, and spoke earnestly.

"Zhibing! Your master is right!"

"I have always been clear about right and wrong. If you conceal this matter, then you are truly putting your selfishness into action, and I will certainly not forgive you then!"

Qiu Chuji had a serious expression and sharp eyes.

Zhen Zhibing was no longer afraid at this moment, and he kowtowed deeply.

"This disciple thanks the Headmaster and Master for their teachings!!"

At this moment, Wang Jiuling spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Master, fellow disciples, Senior Brother's overcoming of his inner demons is truly a matter of fate. I propose that this position of chief disciple belongs to him alone!"

Wang Jiuling's words were met with agreement from Ma Yu and the others, and Ma Yu immediately became serious.

"Zhibing! Are you willing to become the chief disciple and shoulder the responsibilities of Quanzhen Sect from now on?"

Zhen Zhibing, having regained his composure, no longer refused but instead respectfully kowtowed.

"This disciple is willing!"

"Good! Hahaha!" Ma Yu laughed as he helped Zhen Zhibing up, and the Seven Masters of Quanzhen also showed joy.

After eliminating the scourge Zhao Zhijing, Quanzhen has produced an outstanding talent like Wang Jiuling, and Zhen Zhibing has even overcome his inner demons to officially become the chief disciple. It's truly a series of good things happening one after another.

"In a few days, once the matter of that traitor has been settled, I will personally announce you as my chief disciple!"

Zhen Zhibing nodded, then suddenly spoke again.

"Master, this experience has made me realize the importance of virtue. Therefore, I humbly request that you assign someone to supervise my conduct in the future!"

Zhen Zhibing was clearly serious. Upon hearing this, Ma Yu exchanged glances with the others and nodded in agreement.

"Hmm! Zhibing, your idea is excellent!"

Ma Yu didn't hesitate much. "In the past, our Quanzhen Sect relied entirely on the supervision of seven of us, and the self-discipline of numerous disciples, to ensure the moral conduct of our disciples!"

"It's definitely time for a change!"

Ma Yu paced back and forth, and soon came up with an idea.

"Very well! From now on, establish a Sword-Holding Hall! Select virtuous disciples to join, responsible for supervising the conduct of the Quanzhen Sect disciples!"

His excited suggestion prompted the other members of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen to nod in agreement.

At this moment, Sun Bu'er stepped forward.

"Master, since we have established the Sword-Holding Hall, there must be someone to lead it."

Upon hearing this, Ma Yu immediately nodded.

At this moment, Zhen Zhibing's eyes lit up.

"Master Master! This disciple suggests that perhaps Junior Brother Jiuling could take on this important task!"

"This disciple's good fortune is all thanks to Junior Brother Jiuling!"

"Junior Brother Jiuling has a clear sense of right and wrong, high moral character, and keen insight."

During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong famously said: "By taking others as a mirror, one can understand one's own gains and losses!"

"And Junior Brother Jiuling is precisely the mirror I need. With his supervision, I can understand my own mind and see my true nature!"
