Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1331 Old Best Friends on the Same Boat

Fairy Yunyu is a woman who possesses both beauty and wisdom.

Her intelligence was almost on par with that of Fatty Yulong.

When Ye Feng was collecting debts for Miao Xiaorou, he first targeted the Tianyu Silk Shop, which was jointly owned by Fairy Yunyu, Fairy Shouchi, and Fairy Yunmu.

That very evening, Fatty Yulong knew that Fairy Yunyu would come knocking on his door.

That chaotic battle at Fengling Residence was a tacit agreement among these old guys.

That incident shows that Fairy Yunyu, once the most beautiful woman in the Yunhai Sect, was definitely more than just a pretty face.

She not only possesses extensive knowledge and experience, but also a keen mind that is rare among ordinary people.

While everyone in the Yunhai Sect was focused on Dugu Changkong and Fu Jinghong, Fairy Yunyu had already seen through Venerable Yunyi's little scheme before Ye Feng even left the mountain.

Otherwise, how could Fairy Yunyu have allowed her most beloved little disciple, Shangguan Lan, to become the link between Ye Feng and Feng Biehe, helping Ye Feng to purchase goods from Lingbao Pavilion?

How could they possibly agree to let Shangguan Lan go down the mountain to find Ye Feng?

As a clever and beautiful woman who had experienced the previous struggle for the throne, Fairy Yunyu understood the ins and outs of the matter all too well.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Where there are interests, there will be conflicts.

As the leader of the righteous path in the human world, the Yunhai Sect has tens of thousands of disciples. If we include the small and medium-sized sects that are affiliated with the Yunhai Sect, as well as the outer sect branches of the Yunhai Sect, the number of cultivators in the entire Yunhai Sect exceeds 300,000.

The fact that so many people are crammed together at the same time shows just how chaotic the martial world within the Cloud Sea Sect is, and how many conflicts of interest there are.

Fairy Yunyu knew that to survive and thrive in such a complex sect as the Yunhai Sect, one could never escape the struggle for succession.

The old women in this house, except for Fairy Yu Mian, are all living examples.

The reason they have achieved what they have today, their current status and fame, is because they chose the right side back then.

If you make the right choice, you can enjoy wealth and prosperity for hundreds of years.

Their legendary stories are now coming to an end, but the legendary stories of their disciples are just beginning.

The best way for disciples to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and honor like themselves and become the elite within the sect is to take the right position in the struggle for succession.

After the internal strife more than three months ago and the downfall of Dugu Changkong, many elders and seniors in the Yunhai Sect who had remained inactive for many years began to stir up trouble over the succession issue.

They felt that Fu Jinghong had secured his position, so these elders, who had endured for decades, began to send their top disciples to contact Fu Jinghong, hoping to secure the right position so that their disciples would have a bright future after Fu Jinghong took power.

Of course, those who are truly clear-headed remain inactive, or begin to focus their attention on Ye Feng.

There are two different models of succession struggles.

The first scenario is that the previous leader appoints the successor and completes the power transfer before his death. In this case, the struggle for succession will not be too intense, and large-scale bloodshed is rare.

After all, the decision to choose a successor is basically made unilaterally by the previous leader.

Anyone chosen by the former sect leader will most likely become the next sect leader.

There is also a more cruel scenario: the old sect leader hesitated before his death and did not appoint a young sect leader before passing away.

This situation is not uncommon among various sects.

There are generally two reasons for this situation. One is that the old sect leader was too power-hungry and did not want to relinquish his power until his death. The other is that the old sect leader died unexpectedly before a young sect leader was appointed.

Once this happens, the struggle for succession often becomes extremely bloody.

It's unlikely that Master Yunyi would do such a thing. Over the years, Master Yunyi has not held absolute power. In recent decades, he has delegated a lot of power to Dugu Changkong and Fu Jinghong. Moreover, Master Yunyi is very generous to his young disciples. Any young disciple with excellent aptitude will receive some magical treasures or cultivation resources from Master Yunyi.

This shows that Master Yunyi was not a person who coveted power.

So the question returns to the first model of succession struggle.

Fairy Yunyu knew very well that, given the situation of the Yunhai Sect, it wasn't simply a matter of Fu Jinghong or Dugu Changkong performing exceptionally well enough to become the next sect leader.

The next leader of the sect will definitely be appointed by Master Yunyi.

Therefore, the best way to choose sides now is not to side with any of the candidates, but to side with Master Yunyi.

Whoever Master Yunyi wants to be his successor is his successor, regardless of whether the other party is his true disciple or not. On this matter, one must never go against Master Yunyi's thoughts.

Fairy Yu Ying looked at Yun Yu and said, "Yun Yu, have you already started supporting Ye Feng?"

Fairy Yunyu nodded slowly and said, "Yes."

A commotion arose inside the bamboo hut.

None of them expected that Fairy Yunyu would express her opinion on this matter so openly and without any reservations. Instead, she directly told everyone that she had indeed begun to support Ye Feng.

Fairy Yunmu frowned and said, "Yunyu, are you crazy? What you just said was just speculation. Even if it makes some sense, it's not certain that the sect leader will choose Ye Feng as his successor. Isn't it too early for you to bet on Ye Feng now?"

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Ye Feng's forces are too weak, and he is too young. Betting on him before things become clear is too risky.

Fairy Yunyu smiled and said, "High risk brings high reward, Fairy Yumian, don't you agree?"

Fairy Yu Mian revealed a faint smile and said, "Yes, we should support Ye Feng before he grows up. Once Ye Feng really takes the position in the future, our disciples will soar to great heights and might even be able to get the position of the head elder of the Sixth Academy."

Yu Ying and the others' expressions changed slightly.

Fairy Yuying said, "Senior Sister Yumian, you...you don't also support Ye Feng, do you?"

The Jade Silk Fairy smiled but did not answer.

Fairy Yunyu interjected, "If Fairy Yumian didn't support Ye Feng, why would An Nian stay in the capital and stay by Ye Feng's side?"

Fairy Yu Mian laughed and said, "Yun Yu, aren't you going to let your disciple Shangguan Lan go down the mountain to find Ye Feng? Since that's the case, we're all in the same boat now."

The women then realized what was going on.

An Nian staying by Ye Feng's side, and Shangguan Lan going down the mountain a few days ago to find Ye Feng to experience the mortal world together, it turns out that it was all at the behest of Fairy Yu Mian and Fairy Yun Yu.
