I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 136 - 115: Fame Shakes the World, Unshakable Trust

Zhu Yuxian’s eyes narrowed into crescents; in the past, she was subjected to exclusion and suppression within the Sect.

Though this had much to do with her background, coupled with Li Tingfeng’s instigation, it also wasn’t entirely without reason due to her aloofness and pride, unwilling to engage with the Sect’s petty squabbles.

Even though she made great contributions during the battle against the invasion of the Three Great Sects the previous year, she did not manage to secure the position of First Seat of Profound Crane Peak.

But now Lu Chengfeng has made a grand name for himself outside, more importantly acquiring the Li Family’s emblem that allows the Sect to leverage its fame to establish a new base.

For the Yuncang Sword Sect, this is a matter of life and death of utmost importance.

The attitudes of the old guards in the Sect toward her changed drastically, bringing her immediately into the core decision-making level of the Sect.

Zhu Yuxian felt naturally elated in her heart!

The Sunset Sect was indecisive and utterly unreliable, the Heaven-Suppressing King from the Celestial Patrol Department hadn’t appeared for a long time, and other high-level members watched from the sidelines, unwilling to meddle in the disputes in the Northern Lands.

Given this, as July 15th drew near, many elders and disciples in the Sect were filled with pessimism and despair, including some elders who began sending their disciples away under the guise of undertaking Sect missions.

Lu Chengfeng, on the other hand, fought outside, carving a path out for the Sect. In comparison, it was like heaven and earth, certainly enhancing Zhu Yuxian’s prestige.

"Junior Sister Zhu, this is a matter concerning the life or death of the Sect, as well as the legacy of the ancestors and predecessors. I dare not take it lightly."

Profound Sun Taoist spoke solemnly, focusing seriously on Zhu Yuxian: "Should we entrust the wrong person, then our millennial legacy might become mere clothes for others."

"I have not understood your disciple in the past, unaware of when he could master the Zhao Family’s Blazing Fire Spear and reach such incredible heights."

"The reason I bring this up is not out of distrust towards Junior Sister or Lu Chengfeng, but concerning the foundation of the Sect, we truly cannot allow even a slight mistake."

Zhu Yuxian’s brows knitted tightly: "Sounds nice, yet in the end, it’s distrust of me and my disciple?"

Her flawless jade-like face revealed a sneering expression, "When you had your treasured disciple take the Profound Sun Divine Sword and entrust him with the Sect’s secret vault, why didn’t you say such things?"

"Why? Is your disciple trustworthy, while mine isn’t?"

Profound Sun Taoist was somewhat speechless, but if hard decisions were to be made, leveraging the Zhao Family’s mark to establish a new branch in the Celestial Patrol would require substantial resources.

He couldn’t afford negligence; if indeed entrusted to the wrong person, leading to the demise of the Sect’s legacy, he would be a sinner through the ages.

The two remained silent, the atmosphere became heavy and oppressive.

After a long while, Withered Bamboo Elder’s aged voice spoke: "Junior Brother, Lu Chengfeng has a clear background and hailed from Yuncang Sword Sect, which suffices."

"If he truly desires to establish his own Sect in the future, being a lone power, then it’s his own destiny, still originating from Yuncang."

"In this time when the great edifice may crumble, in the autumn of life and death, someone willing to be loyal to the Sect, born to die, fighting bloodily, forging a retreat for the Sect."

"Such loyal heart, such extraordinary talent, other sects would go to any lengths to nurture him, yet we suspect him, is this not chilling the hearts of disciples?"

Profound Sun Taoist’s face showed a look of shame at the words, Withered Bamboo Elder’s speech actually pointed out his deepest worry.

His greatest fear was Lu Chengfeng one day becoming the master, using Sect resources to monopolize power, engulfing the legacy and foundation of the Sect.

"Junior Brother, believe and doubt not, we have little choice, leave the rest to destiny!"

Unquestionably, Withered Bamboo Elder supported Lu Chengfeng.

Zhu Yuxian glanced at Profound Sun Taoist, "Heh, speaking of the Sunset Sect’s indecisiveness and hesitancy, when it comes to you, isn’t it the same?"

Profound Sun Taoist sighed, "Enough, enough, it’s me measuring others from a small-minded perspective."

"Just if this step is to be taken, caution is necessary, those legacies and resources are invaluable, an accidental loss during the transport could be cataclysmic."

"We need to deliberate, arrange who will escort it? This matter is of great importance, mustn’t have errors."

"No need for further deliberation!" Zhu Yuxian immediately waved her hand, "That boy keeps sending messages to the Sect, wanting to bring all his beautiful wives and concubines to Jade Dragon Mountain."

"Given this, let’s escort the family openly and transport the Sect’s legacy and crucial resources secretly."

"As for the escort candidates... I’ll go personally!"
