"Your 'all for me and only me' mentality is the most destructive thing for our sect." Jiang Yun was almost snarling by the end of his sentence.�
Yuan Shuchun was silent for a moment before saying, "As long as everything is exactly how I want, I am totally flexible."
"And as for the evidence and witness, everything can be fabricated. We have already discussed enough, and I don't want to waste any more time arguing over this nonsense."
"Of Course, the lives of our sect disciples and elders are bullshit for you." Jiang Yun scorned Yuan Shuchun's attitude.�
"Jiang Yun, stop your nonsense." Yuan Shuchun wasn't gonna let him insult her in front of new disciples, "Being the top disciples, did you come here all the way just to argue?"
"Alright, alright, you guys, both of you need to stop." Jun Xie was not going to let them waste any of his time anymore.
He continued, "Nor me, neither any of the disciples here want to listen to you two arguing. I will take my leave first, but before that, I want to finish the thing I came here for."
He then looked at the Seventh Peak new Inner Court disciples who were also standing at the platform and said, "I have chosen my Seat Candidate, and I want to invite him to become one of the Nine Supremes!"
His words echoed throughout the hall as confusion and shock surged through the disciples.
Jiang Yun frowned as he heard those words, while Yuan Shucun was shocked to hear those words.
'He found out the Sword Intent guy!?' An unnerving question flashed through her mind as she tried her best not to get agitated.
One must know that if the disciple who broke through the Sword Intent were to join in the sect politics, he alone would become a force to be reckoned with.�
And this was what Yuan Shuchun was afraid of. She wanted that disciple to be in her league rather than any other league.
If that disciple went against her and her league, she had even made up her mind to kill that disciple before he could grow.
But now, if Jun Xie made him a seat candidate, things would turn out to be different.�
No one can touch the Seat Candidates. In fact, no one can even think about targeting the people who are associated with the Nine Supremes.
And for Yuan SHuchun, it was a big no-no because of the pressure her league was already facing due to the accusations of murder from the World League.
She didn't want one more enemy.
So for her, this was the only chance to stop such a disciple from joining any other league.�
She had to recruit all the Seventh Peak's disciples present at the banquet and make them be a part of her Heavenly League.
Jun Xie, on the other hand, unaware of Yuan Shuchun's thoughts, pointed at the disciple to his right and announced, "You will be the next Seat Candidate for the Nine Supremes."
As his words reached everyone's ears, their heads turned, and the disciple became the center of the attention.
Ye Tian Yun was also surprised at those words.�
Because the disciple Jun Xie was pointing at was actually Hu Xing!
And the person in question was the most shocked of all.�
Before Hu Xing's emotions could stabilize, the banquet hall burst into an exclamation, and disciples began to discuss who this guy was.
It didn't take long for them to know who this disciple was.
Hu Xing, a promising disciple and ranked Second in the Inner Court Entrance Hunt for the Seventh Peak, was now selected as the next Seat Candidate for the Nine Supremes.
But after knowing his identity and even the fact that he was one of the most talented disciples among the Seventh Peak's newly promoted disciples, the disciples at the hall didn't take this announcement as a piece of good news.
In fact, they felt mildly dissatisfied.�
Not because it wasn't them who got the invite, but because it wasn't the best disciple who got the invite.
Now, with this invite, more than half of the disciples at the scene were thinking that they also deserved to be trained under the Nine Supremes and eventually become one of them.
And the disciples who felt the most deserving were undoubtedly the top disciples of the other peaks.
And it didn't take long for one of them to stand up and take the risk and reason with Jun Xie.
"Senior Brother Jun, I know this is not my place to ask. However, I am pretty sure that disciples, including me, would want to know why you chose him as your next Seat Candidate?"�
"Why not?" Jun Xie just shrugged at his words, and without any thought, he continued, "Well, I liked his sword cultivation, 'nuff said."
The disciple was even more confused by his words; however, before he could reply, another disciple got up and interrupted them, "Senior Brother Jun, if you selected him based on his Sword Cultivation, then I have no other choice but to object to your decision."
"I have one thing that I am proud of. My Sword Cultivation. And to see someone else be proclaimed as a better swordsman than me when I know that the truth is otherwise, I can't help myself but speak up."
"If the basis of selection were based on the Sword Cultivation, then I would like you to test my skills," Taking a deep breath, the disciple continued, "I am one of the most talented Sword Cultivation disciples, and this is not me being conceited and arrogant, but rather, I am humble in my claim."
Jun Xie shook his head when he heard these words, "First thing first, if I did not call you on the stage, then that means your 'humble' talent isn't enough."
