Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15750

“How are things going?” Duan Jingshu looked at Wu Weiren and asked.
Wu Weiren had a happy look on his face, and he immediately said to Duan Jingshu: “In reply to what you said, this matter is basically settled now. The disciples of those big families have worked together, and I heard that they also gave up some of their interests. They must kick Fu Cha out. Fu Cha has no chance now. There should be news in the next few days, please rest assured, senior brother.”
Duan Jingshu nodded, and he sat on a stone under the green bamboo in his yard, looking at the red carp in the pond, and then said: “Fu Cha, Fu Cha, you have been fighting with me for so long, and this time I just made a light move and kicked you out directly. I don’t know what you think now, hahahaha.” He couldn’t help laughing.
Wu Weiren also laughed, and Duan Jingshu continued, “Fu Cha has been kicked out, so the next step is to win over those small families. You were right last time. Those big families either have their own disciples competing for the position of the sect leader, or because the family is big enough, they don’t care who becomes the sect leader. So, no one can win over those big families, because they are a force in themselves. No matter who becomes the sect leader, it will not affect their status in the sect, so they are qualified to remain neutral. As for some medium-sized families in the next layer, they also have some disciples who want to compete for the position of the sect leader. The positions of the sect leader are even more numerous than the disciples of those big families. Those big families are so big that even if they become the sect leader, it will not help their families much. Therefore, many big families will not compete for the position of the sect leader even if they have core disciples. On the contrary, those medium-sized families must compete for the position of the sect leader if they want to make their families stronger. Therefore, they are our main opponents. Although the families of these people are stronger than those small families, if the power of those small families is concentrated, they can still be dealt with. If we really concentrate the power of some small families, “That’s definitely a chance to compete with those people.”
Wu Weiren responded, then he said, “If we want to subdue those small families, we must use a combination of kindness and force. We can suppress them with force, but we don’t know how to show them kindness. Please give me some advice, brother.”
Duan Jingshu said in a deep voice, “Those small families are not willing to be small families forever. They also want to become a medium-sized family or a large family, and we are their opportunity. Among those small families, few have core disciples. We will choose those families without core disciples to win over and tell them that if I become the sect leader, “Then they’ll definitely benefit. If they don’t support me, don’t blame me for being rude. With my current status, it’s actually quite easy for me to deal with them.”
Wu Weiren replied, and Duan Jingshu continued, “Don’t rush this matter. Wait until the Fu Cha matter is settled, then we’ll approach those small families. You’ll go first and test their attitudes and feelings. If they don’t agree to support us, then we’ll find a way to deal with them. If they do, that would be even better.”
Wu Weiren replied, and Duan Jingshu waved his hand. Wu Weiren bowed to Duan Jingshu before turning and leaving.
For the next few days, nothing major happened at the Nine Suns Immortal Palace. Seven days later, news spread that Shen Xing, the former Deputy Head of the Vicarage Hall, had been transferred to the position of Elder in Charge of the Materials Warehouse in the Weapon Refining Hall. Yu Zaiyuan, the Vicarage Hall Elder, had also been transferred to the position of Warehouse Manager in the Weapon Refining Hall. Fu Cha, the Sect’s Core Master disciple, was appointed Deputy Head of the Vicarage Hall, taking up the position immediately.
When this news broke, the ordinary disciples didn’t react much, but for the core disciples, it was a major event. They were all watching the show; Fu Cha was essentially being kicked out, and they all wanted to see how he would react.
Soon, they received the news, and upon receiving it, Fu Cha was so angry that he smashed his desk. Meanwhile, some of his closest associates left, leaving Fu Cha with no one else. Fu Cha’s
actions were also quite interesting. He didn’t immediately report to the vassal hall to take up his position, instead declaring a retreat. However, the sect had issued a strict order, requiring him to take up his position within three days. Fu Cha had no choice but to go to the vassal hall with a few of his closest confidants. According to the people at the vassal hall, Fu Cha’s face was sullen on his first day. He simply assigned positions to his loyal followers and then remained in his room, refusing to see anyone.
The core disciples were very happy with Fu Cha’s reaction. They had wanted to see this kind of reaction from him. Now that Fu Cha was out, it was time for them to do whatever they wanted.
However, they didn’t know that although Fu Cha seemed to want to ignore the affairs of the Vassal Hall, he had actually had his subordinates gathering information about the hall. He had to know the origins of the people there so that he could respond accordingly.
After Fu Cha took over, the other core disciples quickly forgot about him. In their opinion, there was really nothing worth paying attention to about someone like Fu Cha who had been kicked out.
On the other hand, Duan Jingshu also began to take action, and Wu Weiren began to run around for Duan Jingshu. Their target was those small families.
What Duan Jingshu didn’t know was that after Fu Cha was kicked out, he became the second person to be kicked out, so many people were watching him. After seeing Wu Weiren’s actions, those people were ready to kick Duan Jingshu out.
But they didn’t want to use the same method to deal with Duan Jingshu as they did with Fu Cha. In order to deal with Fu Cha, they gave up some of their interests. They couldn’t use the same method to deal with Duan Jingshu, otherwise they would have to give up some of their interests again. They couldn’t stand it all the time, so they prepared to use a different method to deal with Duan Jingshu. Their method was actually very simple, which was to let those small families deal with Duan Jingshu.
Duan Jingshu was arrogant and thought his status as a Core Disciple made him truly remarkable. Therefore, he wasn’t very friendly towards the smaller clans, which in itself resented them. While the smaller clans weren’t strong, they didn’t dare to offend a Core Disciple easily. However, that didn’t mean they were completely at the mercy of others. Core Disciples were indeed remarkable, but they couldn’t go too far before becoming Sect Master. Duan Jingshu had promised them various benefits once he became Sect Master, but those promises were empty. His attitude towards them was genuine, and his condescending demeanor resented the smaller clans.
It was precisely because of this that Duan Jingshu didn’t realize how dangerous his current situation was. If the smaller clans wanted to deal with Duan Jingshu, they wouldn’t allow him to become a Deputy Master of a vassal hall. They would simply overthrow him. After all, the smaller clans didn’t have the power to decide the selection of a Deputy Master of a whole hall.
The disciples of the other large and medium-sized families within the Nine Suns Immortal Palace all watched coldly, secretly fanning the flames. They didn’t need to take action themselves; they only needed to stir up conflict between the smaller families and Duan Jingshu.
Duan Jingshu was actually quite proud of himself, and precisely because of his pride, he didn’t notice the potential danger. He didn’t even notice the danger, let alone prevent it. So Duan Jingshu was practically on the brink of collapse, yet he didn’t even know it.
However, one person had already noticed Duan Jingshu’s predicament: none other than Fu Cha. From the very beginning, Fu Cha had intended to use others to eliminate him. Only in this way could he be safe and manage his power. So, since taking office, in addition to understanding the situation in the Vassal Hall, he had been keeping a close eye on Duan Jingshu, wanting to see how he would react. He was convinced that Duan Jingshu would not have a good outcome.
Sure enough, he soon discovered that those small families had begun to secretly unite. They also realized that if they fought on their own, they would not have a good result in the end. However, if they united, they would form a force that could not be underestimated and no one could ignore them.
And if they wanted to let others know about this force, they had to establish their authority, and there was no better person to establish their authority than Duan Jingshu.
Upon hearing this, Fu Cha couldn’t help but sneer. He was well aware of the current situation within the Nine Suns Immortal Palace. It was now controlled entirely by clans, both large and small. The decision on who would become the Sect Master was no longer decided by ordinary disciples, but by the larger clans. Only if the larger clans supported you could you become Sect Master; without their support, you couldn’t stop them. So, while the core disciples’ fighting might seem lively, the ultimate decision on who would become Sect Master rested solely with the larger clans. While medium-sized clans could participate, and smaller clans could offer their opinions, people like him and Duan Jingshu had absolutely no chance. The larger clans wouldn’t agree to let them become Sect Master.
While they wouldn’t be able to do anything to the larger clans even if they became Sect Master, there was no need for them to force them to become Sect Master. Doing so would do them no good.
The reason why those big families are still watching coldly and not personally supporting anyone is because they are conducting various interest exchanges behind the scenes. When their interest exchanges are completed, the candidate for the sect leader will be decided, and core disciples like him and Duan Jingshu who have no background will be the first to be eliminated. Fu Cha has seen this clearly a long time ago, so he never thought about competing for the position of sect leader from beginning to end. He knows very well that although he is a core disciple, it is impossible for him to become the sect leader in his generation. They need to accumulate.
