In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 321: A Divided Sect

"Don’t worry. I said I would help, and I will see it through to the end. As for the matter of the sect master, it’s better not to announce it for now," Yue Mingxuan said.

Gongsun Xing shook his head. "My father’s body is already like this. People from Silver Needle Sect come to check on it every day. If we don’t hand over this letter, it will cause panic within the sect. So this must be made public."

Yue Mingxuan paused.

Since that was the case, he had no choice.

These were the rules of Silver Needle Sect and he had to follow them.

"Then... let’s announce it," Yue Mingxuan said. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He originally did not want to make a big scene.

After all, those elders would never agree to let him become the sect master.

In that sense, the letter did not seem that important.

But when Gongsun Xing revealed its contents the next day, Silver Needle Sect immediately split into several factions.

The first group trusted Gongsun Xing and believed in the authenticity of the letter.

They supported Yue Mingxuan becoming the next sect master.

The second group was suspicious.

They doubted the authenticity of the letter and did not trust Gongsun Xing.

The third group believed the letter was real, but did not trust Yue Mingxuan’s ability.

Among them, the second and third groups made up the majority.

The largest group was the third.

Most people believed that their young master would not do anything wrong, but very few trusted Yue Mingxuan.

After all, they did not know who he really was or what his intentions were.

"If they don’t trust me, then why do they trust the letter?" Yue Mingxuan felt extremely frustrated.

He could not understand the thinking of those old men at all.

It all felt completely unreasonable to him.

"These elders have watched me grow up, so they trust me more," Gongsun Xing said with a faint smile. "But they are very unwilling to trust outsiders. People of Silver Needle Sect have always been somewhat exclusive."

"Then don’t you recruit new members?" Yue Mingxuan asked.

"Only those who are truly recognized by us will gain the respect of the sect," Gongsun Xing explained. "You were able to perform heart surgery, so you were made an elder. But even then, not many people truly believe in you. Until they see the results of that surgery with their own eyes, they won’t be convinced."

He sighed and continued, "After all, heart surgery is something they have never even heard of. Even making you an elder has already caused dissatisfaction among many. Now that you are being considered for sect master, there will naturally be even more opposition."

Yue Mingxuan also sighed.

He did not have the ability to perform another heart surgery.

Although his set of surgical tools had not been used for a long time and had not rusted, every surgery carried a risk.

He could not guarantee success every time.

Moreover, heart disease was not very common in this era.

So how was he supposed to prove himself?

Even he did not know.

Although he did not have any strong desire to become the sect master of Silver Needle Sect, the matter had already been announced.

What else could he do now?

Of course, he could choose to back out at this moment.

But what about Gongsun Xing’s situation?

Breaking his word was not his style.

He felt that he had to find a way to resolve everything in front of him.

Gongsun Xing and Wang Jian’s situation, the problems within Silver Needle Sect—everything had to be dealt with.

And all of it needed to be resolved as soon as possible.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Yue Mingxuan muttered to a fire-tongue herb growing nearby.

He truly had no solution, so he could only speak his thoughts out loud to a plant.

"And you think it will give you an answer?" Shang Qinghua’s voice suddenly came from behind him.

When Yue Mingxuan realized it was Shang Qinghua, he finally relaxed and instinctively leaned against him.

He was truly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Being able to lean on Shang Qinghua for a moment allowed him to relax just a little.

Right now, he had no idea what to do and felt deeply uneasy.

"Can you tell me what I should do?" Yue Mingxuan asked.

Shang Qinghua shook his head.

Even he had no solution to this situation.

He did believe that Yue Mingxuan had the ability to lead Silver Needle Sect.

But just because he believed it did not mean that everyone else would.

So, he simply pulled the mischievous man in his arms even closer.

He could not help but wonder what kind of trial the people of Silver Needle Sect would give Yue Mingxuan.

Deep down, he believed that Yue Mingxuan would not be afraid.

But he was still worried.

However, seeing how confident Yue Mingxuan looked, he could only feel reassured.

Once Yue Mingxuan had made up his mind about something, he would not change it easily.

"All the medicinal materials in Xieshang Kingdom, you can use them as you wish," Shang Qinghua suddenly said.

Yue Mingxuan looked at him in surprise.

Since when had he become so generous?

Sure enough, Shang Qinghua added another sentence.

"But every time you use my things, you have to compensate me with gold."

Yue Mingxuan knew it.

There was no way this stingy man would suddenly become so generous and let him freely use everything in Xieshang Kingdom.

There was always a price to pay.

Yue Mingxuan waved his hand. "Alright, alright, I get it!"

There was a hint of impatience in his tone, but there was no helping it.

After all, Shang Qinghua was just that stingy.

He could only grit his teeth and agree.

But then Shang Qinghua said something even more shocking.

"The herbs in Silver Needle Sect also grow on the land of Xieshang Kingdom. So technically, they belong to Xieshang Kingdom as well."

Yue Mingxuan immediately sat up straight.

By that logic, did that mean the entire Silver Needle Sect belonged to Xieshang Kingdom?

No way.
