The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

The man continued, "Although he looks young, he is also the second head of the Wenxin Sect. His Demon-Catching Mirror has helped many sects to subdue demons. He is a senior with a high status in the world of immortal cultivation and is highly respected. We must not neglect or offend him..."

"I remember now... Senior Wu Nian was famous in the human world because he helped people overcome disasters and calamities. Later, too many people came to visit him and wanted to give him gifts. He likes to keep a low profile and is indifferent to fame and fortune, so he changes his appearance every day, right? After all, it saves a lot of trouble." Another person remembered the old folk news.

Upon hearing that this person was a top-level immortal and the second in command, everyone immediately straightened their postures with awe in their eyes.

"You haven't returned to the mountain for a long time. I didn't expect that you have made a great contribution. Qiongqi was cruel and brutal, but now he has finally been brought to justice. I will take you to the forbidden area." The head of the sect said to Wunian.

"I just happened to pass by and helped a little." Wu Nian turned to look at Lu Xin and Cui Ren. He knew it well and said deliberately, "It was Lu Xin and his apprentice who performed the sealing technique together to subdue Qiongqi. Let the credit go to the younger generation."

He deliberately did not mention Cui Ren.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the mountain gate immediately turned their eyes of surprise and admiration to Lu Xin and Leng Feiren, and whispers soon emerged from the audience.

"I didn't expect it to be Senior Lu...his disciple is not bad either..."

"Senior Lu is good at sealing and enchanting techniques... It is a blessing to be taught by him. Leng Feiren is lucky."

"It seems that this time's candidate selection..."

"Shh... stop talking."

Someone looked up and saw that Cui Ren's face was livid. Cui Ren felt guilty, so he looked at Wu Nian and could not say anything. He did not dare to stand up and take credit for a share of the profits at this time, otherwise... Wu Nian would definitely tell him everything.

The head of the sect and Wu Nian personally imprisoned Qiongqi in the forbidden area, and prohibited anyone from entering the forbidden area without permission.

Because of this incident, Lu Xin naturally became the new leader.

That day, Wu Nian didn't like staying in the mountains, so he only rested for half a day before setting off to continue traveling through the three realms.

However, before leaving, he called Lu Xin to a secluded place in the mountains alone.

The two of them stood on the top of the mountain and chatted secretly.

Lu Xin had no idea why Wu Nian knew him, perhaps the headmaster had mentioned him to his friends.

When he saw Senior Wu Nian, he was still polite and courteous: "Senior Wu Nian, thank you for saving me today. I don't know how to repay you for saving my life."

"Well, you've said thank you many times. I'm not someone who cares about etiquette. Don't be so restrained. Just treat me as a passerby." Wu Nian said, "I didn't want to participate in the capture of Qiongqi, but the situation was urgent at the time. If no one helped you, you would have died. From now on, you don't have to mention me when you are outside. I shouldn't interfere too much in the affairs of the Three Realms."

Lu Xin admired this kind of person who was indifferent to fame and gain, so he said sincerely: "Senior, you have such a kind of heart, which really makes me admire you."

Wu Nian smiled faintly: "I called you here because I have two things to tell you. The first thing is that Qiongqi is an ancient vicious beast. I don't know all of its magic, but I know it likes to devour people's souls. What's worse, you will be deceived by it. For example, it threatens to give you ancient power to help you defeat powerful enemies, but the price is that your soul will belong to it from now on. You can let it drive you at will. When it gets tired, it will eat the soul to fill its stomach."

Lu Xin was stunned, not quite understanding why Senior Wu Nian insisted on telling him this.

At this time, Wu Nian continued to say to him: "I have decided with the head of the sect to pass the position of the new head of the sect to you. From now on, you will shoulder a great responsibility and the future will be full of difficulties. I hope you can maintain a sincere heart and do not choose shortcuts when you are in a desperate situation and seek help from Qiongqi. Once you agree to it, you will be doomed and no one can save you."

It turns out that Senior Wu Nian thought about it this way...

Lu Xin was shocked and grateful, and he swore: "Disciple Lu Xin, if I take on the responsibility of the head of the sect, I will not forget my original intention, protect the people of the three realms, and never associate with demons. If I break this oath, may the sky be struck by lightning! I will never be able to recover!"

Wu Nian smiled with relief and nodded: "Well, although I have not been in the mountain for many years, I am still familiar with your affairs. I came back this time to determine the position of the next headmaster, so as to prevent the disciples in the mountain from making random suspicions and having distracting thoughts, which would delay their practice."

"Yes, I will definitely live up to my mission." Lu Xin said sincerely.

"The second thing is to pay more attention to the people around you. I don't like power struggles and don't want to get involved, so I'm just giving you some advice here."

Lu Xin knew very well that Wu Nian told him to be careful with Cui Ren, and it was because he always adhered to the sect's rules and did not want to harm his fellow disciples that he was unwilling to haggle with Cui Ren.

"There is one more thing." Wu Nian remembered something and frowned slightly, "Your eldest disciple's character is not suitable for participating in killing demons. You should not bring him with you in the future. Considering that he is still young and needs to hone his character, I will not say anything more."

These words shocked Lu Xin, and his expression changed slightly. He didn't need to ask any more questions, as he knew in his heart that Leng Feiren had no intention of eliminating demons and defending the Way.

Although the eldest disciple was a little introverted when he was young, he was still willing to be close to me. He was obedient and sensible. He would do whatever I asked him to do and would not resist anything I asked him to learn. It seemed that he had always been obedient to what I said, but when did he change?

He is busy down the mountain all day. Is it because we don't give him enough care and companionship?

Recalling the scene of subduing Qiongqi, Lu Xin even felt that Leng Feiren was terrifyingly cold and indifferent. He didn't even know this disciple. How could there be someone in this world who didn't care about the revenge for his father's murder?

“Although you treat them all as your adopted sons, your energy is limited after all. You should train more people.” Wu Nian stopped there and didn’t want to say more.

Some words said too much may cause others to misunderstand you.

But Lu Xin knew clearly that his senior wanted him to focus more on disciples with good talents and who were willing to defend justice. Leng Feiren was not the most suitable candidate.

Even if he steps down as the head of the sect in the future, Leng Feiren will not be able to take on the role of the new head of the sect.

Maybe this will happen a hundred years later, but the senior has already thought about it for him and is giving him advice in advance.

He could feel that Wu Nian was very caring and loving towards him. He felt mixed emotions, not knowing whether to defend his eldest disciple or to acquiesce with gratitude. He was entangled and depressed for a moment, but finally bowed and nodded to Wu Nian and said, "Thank you for your advice, senior."

Wu Nian saw that he obviously understood what he meant, so he stopped talking and nodded: "Okay, I'm going down the mountain now, you don't have to see me off. I don't have a fixed place to live and I don't come back often. Maybe this is the last time we meet."

Lu Xin was stunned, and when he looked up again, Wu Nian's figure had disappeared from the spot.

……

At the same time, the illusion disappeared.
