?Chapter 174: Chapter 169: Sold · How Did I Become the Sect Leader? (3) Chapter 174: Chapter 169: Sold · How Did I Become the Sect Leader? (3) Chen Jiu stated: “There’s been a huge incident within the New City Sect. We need someone who can control it, preferably someone who can suppress the Third Demon. I believe this person can only be Senior Brother Xiao.”

Xiao Bai modestly replied: “Ah, these years, Junior Brother Jiang has also done a lot of things which we’ve all seen. However, we are now in a chaotic situation. Caution alone can’t resolve the problem, we must expose the true culprit.”

Jiang Zhuge spoke: “Hmm, I’m indeed inferior to Senior Brother Xiao in terms of leadership.”

“You see, even Jiang Zhuge has said so.” Chen Jiu stated.

Xiao Bai felt the opportunity had arrived. His words should have had a certain effect. He suggested: “We should vote.”

At this time, everyone began to discuss. It seemed as if they were firm about their decision.

It was clear that this was the outcome Xiao Bai wanted to see. Jiang Zhuge lacked confidence. As long as Xiao Bai was not the murderer, there was no objection to him becoming the Sect Leader. Most importantly, the New City Sect should not become divided.

Just then, a group of people arrived from outside. Among them, the person walking at the front was wearing a large robe. He suddenly walked in, and someone shouted: “Who are you people? This is the New City Sect. What business do these merchants have here?”

They were disguised as merchants.

When Wei Sisan took off the robe, everyone was shocked. They all stood up, unable to believe it.

Everyone was stunned.

Xiao Bai was the most surprised. He was completely dumbfounded.

Everyone exclaimed in unison: “Sect Leader!”

Jiang Zhuge walked over.

The crowd parted, and Wei Sisan walked up, smiling, “So everyone is here!”

“Senior Brother, we thought…” Jiang Zhuge hadn’t finished speaking when Wei Sisan interrupted him.

“Choosing a new Sect Leader?” Wei Sisan asked.

Ye Chen and Ling’er followed.

Xiao Bai was unable to react in time. Hurriedly, he tried to smooth things over with a forced smile, “Sect Leader, we thought you were dead. Wasteland City needs a new Sect Leader to preside over everything now.”

Wei Sisan didn’t immediately expose Xiao Bai, but merely smiled slightly. He said: “Good, since everyone is here, let’s choose the Sect Leader. However, I propose another person, my successor, the new Sect Leader.”

“Another person? Who?” Xiao Bai asked in surprise.

“My future son-in-law, Ye Chen!”

Everyone looked stunned, intrigued to know who this Ye Chen was.

Ye Chen was startled, too; he hadn’t anticipated this at all.

Wei Sisan turned his head, and Ling’er started, what in the world was her father up to? She wanted to speak, but all eyes were on her father. Ye Chen also came over and said: “Senior Wei, surely you didn’t drink anything.”

Wei Sisan chuckled and introduced: “This is Ye Chen, my future son-in-law, Ling’er’s fiancé. He’s qualified, isn’t he?”

“But we just learned about him,” Xiao Bai objected, not understanding Wei Sisan’s intent.

“Junior Brother Xiao, were you really in Dongle City when I had that accident?”

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Bai became speechless as he saw several disciples from Tianle City standing beside Wei Sisan. If Wei Sisan had been to Tianle City and asked this question, it implied that he already knew the truth.

At this point, Xiao Bai became extremely nervous.

“I…” Xiao Bai stammered, unable to speak.

“Let’s discuss this matter later,” Wei Sisan said.

Xiao Bai already didn’t dare to speak anymore.

Jiang Zhuge said: “Sect Leader, it’s really good that you’re okay.”

Wei Sisan smiled slightly. He had given this a lot of thought, especially last night. After pondering all night, he decided to choose a successor. He was increasingly unable to keep up, particularly after this injury, and seeing everyone here now.

Wei Sisan continued: “I’ve seen Ye Chen’s martial arts skills. None of you here can match him.”

“But we just learned who he is, and we don’t know what kind of person he really is,” Chen Jiu said.

Ye Chen wanted to speak, but Wei Sisan preempted him: “Don’t you trust my daughter’s future husband? Would I randomly choose someone?”

Chen Jiu was speechless. He still wanted to say something, but Xiao Bai, already feeling guilty, quickly silenced him before he could.

Jiang Zhuge said: “Ling’er’s future husband is definitely trustworthy. I agree.” He was glad that the Sect Leader was still alive.

Ling’er was so anxious that she wanted to jump up. She didn’t know what her father was up to. However, with so many people watching them…

“I will explain to you later,” Wei Sisan said, “Wan Lan, take Ling’er back first.”

Ling’er glanced at Ye Chen and angrily said: “I disagree.” Then she stormed off.

Ye Chen was a little flustered, looked at Feng Niang and said: “Feng Niang, what should I do?”

Feng Niang lightly laughed and said: “Stop playing coy after reaping the benefits.”

“I don’t want this advantage. How could that old man be so arbitrary? He didn’t even ask me. I feel like I’ve been sold.” He spoke softly, wondering if he really had to become the Sect Leader. In his wildest dreams, he had never imagined becoming the Sect Leader like this.

“Enough, you’ve been granted the position of Sect Leader and have gotten such a beautiful wife. What more do you want? Your ancestors must be overjoyed.”

“Ha, do you really think no one would marry me?” Ye Chen continued to whisper: “They kidnapped me.”

“Then why didn’t you run away? You’re the Sect Leader of New City now; you’ve leapfrogged into the role overnight. Something people only dream of,” Feng Niang saw the predicament Wei Sisan was in, given the situation and his injury.

“I feel like I’ve really been sold by them,” Ye Chen sighed.

“Stop fussing, it’s a blessing that anyone even takes an interest in a homeless man like you. Don’t be ungrateful,” Feng Niang yanked at his clothes.

Wei Sisan, who was already standing amidst the crowd, yelled out, “Ye Chen, come over here.”

Ye Chen gave a forced smile, feeling a bit dazed as if he’d been tricked.

Someone spoke up in doubt, “The position of the Sect Leader, after all, is a very serious matter.”

Wei Sisan replied, “Of course, I understand this. Let me explain about my son-in-law then. This time, I encountered two large groups of men in black. My survival from death was all thanks to him. Without his help, we would not have broken out of the encirclement. Without his aid, we would not have been able to escape those men later. And without him. I wouldn’t be standing here now. Is that explanation enough?”

Chen Jiu said coldly, “It’s not necessarily so just because you say it is.”

Jiang Zhuge intervened, “I believe the Sect Leader’s judgment wouldn’t be wrong.”

In response, Chen Jiu sneered.

Wei Sisan then said, “Let’s do it this way. For now, I will temporarily hold the position. Let’s observe for two months. You can judge then. If there are any objections or if the performance is not satisfactory, we will have a re-election then.”

Hearing this, Jiang Zhuge was the first to express agreement. Once Jiang Zhuge nodded his approval, everyone else quickly followed suit.

Kong Sha chimed in, saying, “Ling’er’s husband, he definitely wouldn’t be wrong.”

The arrangement by Wei Sisan left them speechless.

Chen Jiu wanted to say something else, but Xiao Bai stopped him, saying, “Don’t say anything more.”

“Since everyone agrees, does that mean there are no other objections?”

Standing in the midst of the crowd, Ye Chen felt quite embarrassed as everyone’s stares focused on him. It felt as if they were waiting for him to make a fool of himself and then laugh at him. He definitely couldn’t back down.

“Since this is the case and there are no other matters, let us disperse then.” Wei Sisan said.

Ye Chen jumped up, saying, “Senior Wei, how could you act like this.”

“Let’s talk later.” Wei Sisan then turned to Kong Sha and said, “Kong Sha, arrange accomodations for Ye Chen and Feng Niang.”

Feeling guilty, Xiao Bai attempted to sneak away, but he had been discovered. He was already exposed, there was nothing he could do now. However, Wei Sisan then shouted, “Xiao Bai, come here. I have something to say to you.”

Xiao Bai finally stopped.

They stepped from the courtyard into the great hall, leaving only Wei Sisan and Xiao Bai inside.

Wei Sisan seemed unwilling to say much more. But then again, Xiao Bai had been with him for so many years, it was impossible for him to kill Xiao Bai. Suddenly, his face became stern and he said, “Go, leave the New City Sect.”

Xiao Bai paused upon hearing this, then knelt down, saying, “Senior Brother, I recognize my mistake.”

“We have been brothers for so many years, but you have greatly disappointed me. I can’t accept you anymore. I don’t know whether or not you truly are involved with those men in black, but that’s no longer important.”

Xiao Bai quickly said, “I swear, I have absolutely no connection with those men in black.”

“Even so, I cannot keep you in the New City Sect. Zheng Yibai is already dead, so many people have died. If you were to stay in Wasteland City, they would never rest in peace. For that reason, I can’t hold you in New City Sect.” Wei Sisan closed his eyes.

“Sect Leader, couldn’t you overlook the many years I have assisted you and let me stay?”

“Leave, I don’t want to say anything more. The farther you go, the better. I’m afraid I might lose control if I get too angry.”

“Sect Leader.”

“Take care of yourself.” He then had Xiao Bai escorted out.

At this point, Jiang Zhuge walked in. He knew that Wei Sisan had suffered severe injuries, and upon seeing Xiao Bai silently leave, he wanted to say hello, but it seemed like Xiao Bai was not in the mood.

“What happened to Senior Brother Xiao?”

We Sisan shook his head, and asked, “How have things been these past few days?”

“It’s truly a blessing that Sect Leader… you managed to make it back alive, it’s the best news for us.” Jiang Zhuge said.

“There must have been many affairs in these past two days.”

“Yes, with the assumption that you were burnt to death at the Feng Niang Inn. Xiao Bai had even brought back the corpses. Everyone was discussing how to avenge the murder.”

“Don’t mention Xiao Bai to me ever again.”

“Sect Leader, what happened?”

“Haven’t you realized yet? In his eyes, there is only the position of Sect Leader. Other than that, he sees nothing else.”

“No way, Senior Brother Xiao, he just… because of the incident in Dongle City, he couldn’t make it in time to rescue Sect Leader.”

“Those are all lies. Those two days, he was still in Tianle City. I had sent several distress letters, but no one came out.”

Jiang Zhuge was startled, almost unable to believe that all of this was true.

“Alright, let’s not talk about him. Has Zheng Yibai been buried already?”

“He was buried. He lies in the wasteland behind Wasteland City.”

Wei Sisan nodded upon hearing this.

“I heard Sect Leader was seriously injured.”

“No big deal,” Wei Sisan said.

“As long as Sect Leader is alive.”

“Tell me about what has happened these past few days.”

Jiang Zhuge quickly recounted the events of the past few days, starting from Ghost City, to Can Mo and the others, all the way to Wasteland City, and ending with the Third Demon wanting to expel them from Wasteland City.
