Chapter 1522: Chapter 1526: Why Don’t You Take the Position?
The words of Lin Fei made the elders’ faces turn black one by one. They initially thought Lin Fei would have the self-awareness to realize that he had lost all his cultivation and should behave, yet he still wanted to be the Sect Leader? Can a cripple be a Sect Leader?
"Lin Fei, I think you should focus on recovering. As for the position of Sect Leader, maybe you should forget about it. After all, your abilities are limited, and since you’ve lost all your cultivation, being the Sect Leader won’t benefit you." An elder started to persuade Lin Fei earnestly.
Lin Fei smiled.
"Indeed, my abilities are limited, but wasn’t I chosen to be the Sect Leader? Isn’t that reason enough? Or would you like to take the position?"
The elder fell silent imdiately after hearing Lin Fei’s words. Him taking the position? Others probably wouldn’t agree, and he wasn’t qualified either; he was rely at the bottom among the elders.
Though Lin Fei said these words, the elders were determined not to let Lin Fei beco the Sect Leader. Thus, another elder spoke to Lin Fei, saying, "Lin Fei, you should know that to be the Sect Leader of Beidou Sect, you need to excel in many aspects, right?"
"That’s correct, but since the Sect Leader Senior Brother chose , it implies there isn’t a problem, right? Am I wrong?" Lin Fei questioned the elder, making the latter montarily stunned.
"However, man proposes, but heaven disposes. Now that your dantian is destroyed... your strength is no longer exceptional," that elder said hesitantly.
Lin Fei chuckled, "So what you an is, if I hadn’t lost my strength, I would indeed qualify for the Sect Leader role?"
"Yes, precisely. After all, strength is very important," the elder replied.
"Since strength is so important, why did you co looking for ? I never imagined that being the Sect Leader of Beidou Sect only required enough strength. If that’s truly the case, even if you begged
to take the position, I wouldn’t even consider it!" Lin Fei said and turned to walk back inside.
"Wait, Lin Fei!"
Great Elder hurriedly called out to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei turned back, "Is there anything else? I’m not as idle as you elders; I’m very busy."
Hearing Lin Fei’s sarcastic words, the elders showed displeasure, but the Great Elder didn’t mind and instead spoke to Lin Fei, "Lin Fei, we hope to discuss with you further. After all, you ntioned Liu Muqing recomnded you as our next Sect Leader of Beidou Sect, which indicates you have the qualifications, even though your strength is currently lost."
"Great Elder, has your strength reached Ancient Martial Level Nine?" Lin Fei sensed the abundant primordial energy on the Great Elder, which prompted him to ask.
"Yes, why?" The Great Elder looked at Lin Fei, puzzled by the sudden question.
Lin Fei showed a kind smile, "With that strength coupled with your character, Great Elder, you’re more than qualified to be the Sect Leader, so there’s nothing more to ask ."
After saying this, Lin Fei stopped speaking further. He had realized that the solution was not to address it, and neither would he provide them with any answers, letting them solve it themselves since he hadn’t said anything.
Besides, his words were justified. It was clear these elders, led by the Great Elder, were trying to pressure him. Since the Great Elder intended to pressure him, what more was there to say?
He decided to employ the strategy of "feigning retreat to advance," letting the Great Elder manage it himself, as he wouldn’t bother with it anymore. Of course, if the elders truly made another decision and sought soone else for the Sect Leader role, Lin Fei wouldn’t think about staying in Beidou Sect any longer, as Beidou Sect had changed.
Watching Lin Fei leave, the Great Elder hesitated, then could only sigh before leaving, with the elder team following suit.
After everyone left, Lin Fei’s brothers, including Butcher and Radar, ca to Lin Fei’s room, and Radar asked, "Boss, what are you thinking? Why not discuss with them?"
"What’s there to discuss? Their purpose in coming here was to get
to personally relinquish the position of Sect Leader, then look for a chance to let soone else take it. So why should I bring trouble on myself?" Lin Fei replied.
"Then what about the Sect Leader position, Boss?"
"The Sect Leader position isn’t our concern for now. Can’t you see? Beidou Sect is currently being run by the elder team, so we don’t need to say anything and just wait for the result. If they choose soone else as the Sect Leader, who do you think in Beidou Sect would still have the qualification for that role?" Lin Fei laughed.
He noted that besides a few main disciples, none really had the capability to be the Sect Leader of Beidou Sect.
There was nothing more to be said on Lin Fei’s end. The elders headed towards the Qingfeng Building, and upon arriving, they discussed with Qingfeng, hoping Qingfeng would beco the next Sect Leader, but Qingfeng refused.
When the Great Elder and others asked why Qingfeng’s answer surprised them.
"There’s no one more suitable than Lin Fei for the position of Sect Leader."
The elders could only leave again, then continued to look everywhere, and ultimately had to admit a reality: they might indeed have to choose Lin Fei as the Sect Leader.
Many capable disciples wanted to choose Lin Fei as Sect Leader, and obviously, among the elders, picking a Sect Leader was not feasible since they were already elders, and the Great Elder held power among them. And the Great Elder couldn’t very well beco the Sect Leader; if he did, the gossip would drown them.
Everyone knew the Great Elder was seeking people everywhere, and disciples also knew it seed Lin Fei was the next Sect Leader of Beidou Sect. If the Great Elder ascended at this ti, he would likely face endless criticism.
Moreover, the Great Elder had no intentions of becoming Sect Leader, only hoping Beidou Sect would not decline, without any other motives.
Finally, the Great Elder decided to find Lin Fei and let him beco the Sect Leader of Beidou Sect.
Unfortunately, when all the elders approached Lin Fei and made their request, Lin Fei’s answer was...
"Sorry, I’m not interested in the position of Sect Leader; find soone else nice!" Lin Fei’s attitude seed quite resolute.
