"Ridiculous! Am I not the Sword Pavilion Master after I took over the position of Chairman of the Sword Committee?
Is there such a rule in our Sword Pavilion that the chairman of the Sword Council and the Sword Pavilion Master can't pass the position of Sword Pavilion Master to his disciple? "Liu Lei sneered.
"Of course you can pass the position to him. It's your freedom."
Shi Jueyuan replied, unwilling to be outdone. "But, as the Chairman of the Sword Committee, shouldn't you pass the position to a more reliable candidate?
Don't tell me that I can't find a swordsman stronger than this kid in Yuzhang City? "
"This brat stinking of his mother's milk is just a mere Famed Sword Rank swordsman. There are more than three hundred Famed Sword Rank swordsman in Yuzhang City and more than twenty Spirit Sword Rank swordsman. Is there no one stronger than this brat?"
Shi Jueyuan's questions came one after another. If an ordinary person were in Guhan and Liu Lei's position, he would probably want to find a hole to hide in.
"And there's also the issue of experience. What experience can an 18-year-old have?
What wisdom can he have?
How can you leave the Sword Pavilion in the hands of such a person? Why don't you ask him to give up the position of Sword Pavilion Master first? When your disciple grows up a few dozen years and becomes stronger, we can return the position to him. That way, the position of Sword Pavilion Master will still belong to your disciple and grand-disciple.
Shi Jueyuan's words were sharp and vicious. He implied that Liu Lei passed the position to Guhan in order to control the position of Sword Pavilion Master in their hands.
"Yes, it makes sense!
I can live for a few more years. I didn't want to pass the position to my disciple so early. How could I not know that he would be so suspected by you? "
Liu Lei suddenly sighed. "But you don't know the situation at that time. The entire Yuzhang City was in danger. Over a million people's lives were threatened by Yuan Yan. If I didn't pass the position of Sword Pavilion Master to him, I'm afraid that over a million people would all die a violent death!"
"What?
How can the position of Sword Firmament Pavilion Master be filled with millions of people? "
Shi Jueyuan was shocked when he heard that. He thought that Liu Lei was just taking advantage of the chaos to pass the position to Guhan. He didn't know that Guhan becoming the Sword Pavilion Master was related to the lives of over a million people.
"It's not your fault. I never told you about this." Liu Lei waved his hand and a conversation could be heard in the hall.
"Guhan, my good disciple, where are you now?
Was he unable to charge out?
Are you injured? Where are you? If it's me, I'll go and save you! "
"Master, disciple is fine. Disciple has an urgent matter to ask Master. What is the password to open the first level of this refuge system?
Master, please tell disciple quickly. "
…
"No!
How much time will you waste by going back and forth, and how many lives will be lost?
Also, unlocking the third level requires a genetic code, and there are only two people in Yuzhang City who can unlock this genetic code. I'm afraid you won't be able to find these five people. "
"My good disciple, there is actually a way to ignore the iris unlock and the third level of lock. You can directly open the refuge system."
"What is it?
Master, please tell disciple. I'll do it even if I have to risk my life! "
"Don't worry, you don't have to risk your life. This is a good thing … After so many years, it's time for the Sword Firmament Pavilion Master to pass on!"
…
This was a conversation that was constantly filled with electric currents and squeaking sounds. Clearly, this was a recorded conversation.
From this conversation, everyone with a normal IQ could understand that Guhan had to take over the position of Sword Firmament Pavilion Master in order to unlock the genetic code of the refuge system.
Only then did everyone remember that the most important credit given to Gu Han by the government was the opening of the entire Yuzhang City's refuge system, allowing all the citizens of Yuzhang City to enter the refuge system to avoid Yuan Zhen's pursuit.
Although Yuan Kou did not manage to infiltrate the ordinary zone, Guhan had saved the lives of more than a million survivors in the core zone.
It seemed that Guhan had no choice but to take over the position of Sword Firmament Pavilion Master. He had done it to save people, not because Liu Lei had taken advantage of the chaos to pass the position of Sword Firmament Pavilion Master to his own disciple for personal gain.
After understanding this, the haters who had been flaming Guhan on the forum shut their mouths. Compared to the lives of more than a million people, the position of Sword Firmament Pavilion Master was indeed nothing.
Listening to this conversation, Shi Jueyuan's face turned livid. He did not know that there was such a story. The version he had heard from someone's mouth was like this: "Because Liu Lei took over as the chairman of the Sword Committee, he had to give up the position of Sword Firmament Pavilion Master.
However, Liu Lei's most trusted spirit sword wielder, the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit, had been controlled by Yuan Kou, so Liu Lei passed the position of Sword Firmament Pavilion Master to Guhan during the chaos and kept it a secret. He planned to announce it after a while. "
Shi Jueyuan did not know that there was such a story, which made him extremely passive. Originally, he had done it for his own benefit, but now it had become for the lives of more than a million people. It was a great merit that had to be done. No one would deny this, and the whole atmosphere of public opinion was instantly reversed.
"No, I have to find the flaw in this!"
Shi Jueyuan thought silently. He was indeed an old fox who had lived for 70 or 80 years. Soon, he had an excuse.
"Master Liu Lei, I'm afraid this recording can't prove anything!
What we heard was just a recording. Who knows what happened in reality?
It's not impossible for this Guhan to finish this conversation while sitting in that coffee shop. Who knows if the fallout shelter was really opened by him?
Who can be sure that there really isn't a second person next to him who can open this fallout shelter?
As far as I know, the person in charge of the emergency response center also has this genetic authority. If he was next to Guhan at that time, what could he say?
According to the rules of the Sword Committee, without the order of you or the late Sword Immortal Baiju, the person in charge is absolutely not allowed to leave the emergency response center. "
Shi Jueyuan's question made the audience nod involuntarily. Indeed, this was just a recording, and there was no video or other specific images. It could not prove that Guhan was in that situation at that time.
Moreover, Shi Jueyuan's words reflected a very insidious point of view. In order to pass the position of Sword Pavilion Master to Guhan, Liu Lei deliberately transferred the person in charge of the emergency response center away from the emergency response center. This created a situation where only Liu Lei was in the emergency response center. This forced Liu Lei to pass the position of Sword Pavilion Master to Guhan, so that he could open the genetic lock of the emergency response center. This was all Liu Lei's conspiracy.
Conspiracy theories are a marketable commodity at any given time.
After the audience heard Shi Jueyuan's suspicion, they all felt that Shi Jueyuan's words made sense. This was Liu Lei's conspiracy. Otherwise, how could things be so coincidental?
Guhan's support level, which had just increased a little, instantly dropped a lot.
"Little Jueyuan, I knew you would have such a problem."
Liu Lei's "Little Jueyuan" caused a roar of laughter, and Shi Jueyuan's face kept twitching.
It was not because of the title, but because he found that Liu Lei seemed to have a way to deal with it.
Liu Lei waved his hand again, and a video was projected on the projector in the trial hall. The front of the video seemed to be a young and beautiful girl, and behind her was a magnificent hall. The girl said indifferently.
The girl said calmly, "I promise everyone with the glory of my family that Sword Bearer Guhan was indeed in a situation where he could not make a choice.
I arrived at the emergency response center one step earlier than Guhan, but the emergency response center was already empty.
Guhan came to the emergency response center alone. When he activated the emergency response center's system, there was no one with authority beside him. He had no choice but to succeed as Sword Pavilion Master.
"If you suspect that Master Liu Lei did this on purpose, then I promise you that it is impossible.
After Master Liu Lei left Yuzhang City, the communication between Yuzhang City and our expeditionary force was completely cut off. How could Master Liu Lei have expected that Yuan Kou would enter the core area through the quantum teleportation array? It was even more impossible for him to have arranged all this in advance. "
"Who are you?
Little girl, why should we believe what you said?
Who do you and your family think you are?
Family honor? What a joke! "A member of the audience cursed in the audience seats.
Although this audience member's words were not pleasant to hear, he said what everyone else was thinking.
They also wanted to question who this little girl was. She actually dared to boast shamelessly and make such a guarantee.
Only the heads of the aristocratic families sitting in the front row had ashen faces.
They had already recognized who this little girl was. This little girl had used her family's honor to make a promise. No one could refute her, and no one would doubt her.
"I am Liunian Ling, a direct descendant of the Liunian Aristocratic Family. I will be the future family head of the Liunian Aristocratic Family. I swear on my and the Liunian Aristocratic Family's honor that everything I said is the truth." After saying that, Liunian Ling's recording ended.
Everyone was silent. They might not know who Liunian Ling was, but they definitely knew what the Liunian Aristocratic Family was. They also knew how trustworthy a promise made by the Liunian Aristocratic Family was. This was a promise made by the top aristocratic family of the human race. No one would doubt it.
"So the direct descendant of the Liunian Aristocratic Family was also in Yuzhang City." The forum was abuzz with discussion.
"That's right. The Liunian Aristocratic Family lives up to its name. Wherever humans are in danger, the Liunian Aristocratic Family will be there. No wonder the Liunian Aristocratic Family is the guardian of humanity."
"Little Jueyuan, do you have any more questions?" Liu Lei asked Shi Jueyuan with a smile.
"Of course!"
Shi Jueyuan stood up, unconvinced. "I admit that the situation at that time was indeed unavoidable. Gu Han took over as Sword Firmament Pavilion Master and saved many people. There's nothing wrong with that.
That's not wrong, but it doesn't mean that Guhan has the right to continue being the Sword Pavilion Master. He's just a mere Famed Sword Wielder. Let's wait for him to grow for a decade or so. Before that, we have to give the position to someone more capable. The Sword Pavilion Master has to be changed. This is what the five great Jiandi Aristocratic Families and the masses want. "
"Senior Shi, if I understand correctly, you won't oppose me as long as I'm capable enough, right?" Guhan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.
"That's right!
I won't oppose you as long as you're capable enough, "Shi Jueyuan said through clenched teeth.
