A life of clearness

Chapter 220 Making Friends
"Last time I saw you, you were very fond of spiritual plants. Compared to the Sword Sect's collection, I don't have anything to show off. I can only give you a small toy."

The Flower Master took out a stone box and handed it to Rong Qing. "It's not very useful in a fight, but it's good for entertainment."

"Oh?" Rong Qing didn't expect to receive a gift before leaving.

The stone box should also contain spiritual plants. Rong Qing would not mistake the appearance of this box. However, compared to the last time when she threatened and forced the flower owner to give her a spiritual plant, this time the other party took the initiative to give it to her.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Flower." Rong Qing smiled and put it into the storage ring.

She could see that the flower owner was trying to be nice to her. In fact, Rong Qing also wanted to befriend him.

After all, there was no major conflict in the previous contact with Hua Zhu. Even if Hua Zhu was unhappy, she still gave Rong Qing face on the surface.

"I also need to maintain my relationship with the Flower Lord and not be too cold. Maybe there will be news about Concubine Ji." So Rong Qing gladly accepted the Flower Lord's gift.

A gadget is just a gadget. Different strengths and perspectives. For Rong Qing now, even a half-step spiritual plant is of no use.

Rong Qing followed the Sword Master, said goodbye to the Inspector and the Flower Master, then turned into a stream of light and disappeared over Cangliu Island.

……

"Master Hua, I feel relieved now that Cangliuzhou is in your hands." The inspector heaved a long sigh of relief. "But you will have to work harder for the next thousand years."

"My roots are in Cangliu Island, so working for Cangliu Island is not hard." The flower owner smiled faintly.

The inspector patted Huazhu's thin shoulders. He and Huazhu were monks of the same generation, but he was a hundred years older than Huazhu, so he often treated Huazhu as his own sister. When choosing the next inspector, he was not without selfish motives.

"As for you, arriving in the Xuanfeng Realm is like starting over from scratch. There are many Divine Transformation cultivators there. I heard that cultivators from the Mother Realm are not valued. I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry." The inspector smiled and waved his hand. "After so many Kaitian events, I have already established some friendships with the managers of the various families in Xuanfeng Realm. I am not going there blindly. When you officially take over the position of inspector, you will have to deal with them. Make good friends with them, and when you leave office, come to Xuanfeng Realm to find me."

The flower master's mouth opened slightly.

The inspector smiled even more deeply, "The Sword Master has promised to give you a signpost to the Xuanfeng Realm after you leave your post as inspector."

Hua Zhu didn't know what to say for a moment. She was still resentful that the inspector had pushed her forward for his own future. She had already given up the idea of ​​going to Xuanfeng Realm...

But now, suddenly, things seem to be looking up.

"Are you too happy to speak?" The inspector joked. "No, I'm just a little confused as to why Jian Zong is suddenly so generous." Hua Zhu quickly changed the subject to hide his thoughts.

"If it was Sword Master Ji Ming, of course, forget it, but Sword Master Chong Yu is easier to talk to. But I only managed to get the mark for you and me. As for your future inspector..." The inspector suddenly asked, "What is your impression of Yu Rong?"

"Yu Rong..." Hua Zhu murmured softly, "I can't really say, but it seems that all the major events in recent years have something to do with her. She must have excellent talent, otherwise her strength wouldn't have increased so fast. But it's hard to say that she is mentally exceptional."

"You can't really tell. I'm the same way. How does it compare to Michiko?"

"What?!" Huazhu suddenly understood the meaning of the inspector's words and stared at him. "The reason why Daozi is Daozi is, of course, that he is a genius who is perfect in every aspect as determined by the Sword Master. Didn't you and I go to the Daozi Ceremony that year? The meaning of Daozi's existence is to succeed the Sword Master. Sword Masters Chongyu and Chongji also came from Daozi's position."

The Liuguang Sword Sect is led by the Sword Master. The words of the Sword Master are effective. For example, the Sword Master Chongyu promised that every inspector of Cangliuzhou would receive the Dao Mark after leaving office. Then when Chuyuan becomes the Sword Master and leads the Sword Sect, this promise will be extended to him, and the next Sword Master after Chuyuan will also fulfill this promise.

This is the meaning of the position of Sword Master.

"Then do you still remember how Sword Master Ji Ming became Sword Master?" the Inspector reminded.

Of course Huazhu remembered. "He appeared suddenly. At that time, the Sword Sect had not yet appointed a Daozi. He directly skipped the Daozi identity and took over the leadership of the Sword Sect from the then Sword Master."

This incident caused a great uproar in the cultivation world. The Ji Dynasty had always been wary of the Beiji Liuguang Sword Sect, and spared no effort to send undercover agents to infiltrate the Sword Sect. As a result, they hit a wall. The Ji Dynasty still did not give up, and continued to commit suicide. The whole cultivation world knew what happened afterwards.

"But at that time, the Sword Sect didn't have a Daozi. It's different now. The Daozi is a legitimate Daozi. Even if Yu Rong wants to fight, will the Sword Master let them fight?"

The inspector sighed, "Sometimes I can't guess what the Sword Master is thinking. Others look at us in Cangliuzhou and think we are a mystery in the cultivation world. Everyone in the cultivation world of Liuguang Sword Sect knows about it, but do they know the origins of Sword Master Daozi? You and I were born and raised in Cangliuzhou. The three Sword Masters Ji Ming, Chongyu, Chongji, Daozi and Yurong, the five of them, seem to have no past. Who knows where they came from... Humph, I think even Liuguang Sword Sect themselves don't know."

"When I talk to them, I often feel powerless and even want to escape, but the heavy burden on my shoulders has left me nowhere to hide for the past thousand years. Even if I am dissatisfied, I have to maintain good relations with the sword masters for the future of Cangliuzhou. I can't count on Sword Master Ji Ming, but after all, Sword Master Chongyu will be next. When Daozi Chuyuan came to Cangliuzhou, I even received him personally."

"I see Daozi as the future sword master, and there is nothing wrong with that. But with Yu Rong's appearance, I really don't understand what the sword masters are thinking."

"How to say?"

"From her status alone, although Yu Rong doesn't have the title of Daozi, she is definitely a direct descendant of the Sword Sect. Even Chu Yuan is respectful to her. She should be a disciple of Sword Master Ji Ming, and of the same generation as Sword Master Chong Yu. In our cultivation world, we don't practice the secular practice of father-to-son succession. Her status qualifies her to compete for the position of Sword Master."

"The second is reputation. Daozi has a great reputation but he has not made any achievements yet. On the other hand, Yu Rong has already made a splash in the Kaitian Arena, and everyone knows that the Sword Master is very protective of her. And now she has taken on the matter of Princess Ji. Once this is accomplished, it will be very good for her reputation. By then, she will have the reputation, the qualifications and the favor of the Sword Master. If she really wants to fight for the position of Sword Master, it is not impossible."

"Then..." Huazhu thought for a moment and said, "Can't Daozi and Yurong both become sword masters? After all, there are two sword masters now."
