Martial Hero Rebirth

The Chief Disciple Hall was used to discuss ideas with the thirteen great elders. The main student announced his ideas, and if more than half of the votes were in favor, then they were accepted.

The chief disciple, of course, was at best equal in status to the great elders, so only the Sect Master had the right to make decisions personally. However, he did not participate in the meeting. In fact, such meetings were needed so that the elders could evaluate the main disciple.

Lin Yi approached the palace doors. He felt a little nervous. For the first time, he had the power of a chief disciple. We can say that his path to the possession of Huashan began. Today's success determined whether he would be able to rise to the very top of the hierarchy.

Anyone else might be afraid. But Lin Yi smiled confidently. He had been working towards this for a long time and was now ready to reap the rewards.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yi entered. It immediately darkened before my eyes, then brightened. The thirteen great elders were already seated at the large oval table, each taking a seat corresponding to his strength..

Everyone's faces were different.

Some remained indifferent, others were curious or admiring, some smiled at him, while others looked at him with anger..

“Lin Yi, have you finally arrived? Sit down!” said Elder Yu, who ranks second, and pointed to the fourteenth.

Lin Yi nodded and smiled at him.

“Tell us your future development plans for Huashan, and we will evaluate them,” said Elder Linghu, who ranks first.

His tone was stern, even a little cold.

This open hostility caused alarm among many elders. Everyone knew that Lin Yi snatched the position of chief disciple from the hands of Linghu Feng, because of this, a conflict broke out between him and the clan. One could even say that a feud was born.

“Ouch,” Elder Yu chuckled. “Elder Brother Linghu, child’s first day at work. Don't make such a scary face, you'll scare the child. Why are you so dissatisfied anyway? Do you think it's his fault that Feng lost? This is no one's fault. It’s just a terrible coincidence that a century later two talented young men were born at once who discovered the will of the sword.”

After saying this, Elder Yu glanced at Lin Yi and continued:

“Some people have no manners at all, am I right? But don't let him intimidate you, most elders only want the best for the younger generation. It’s just that, apparently, not everyone remembers that they themselves were once like that. Or maybe he's jealous of your talent?...”

Elder Linghu flushed so hard that he almost pulled out his blade.

But Elder Yu snorted without showing any weakness.:

“Some people can't handle the truth.”

Six of the thirteen elders began glaring daggers at each other. Both clans hated their opponents so much that they would have cut them down on the spot if not for the other elders.

“Come on, calm down,” said the elder in third place, running his hand through his thick beard. “You are almost five or sixty years old, and yet you still behave like children! How much can you disgrace yourself, even in front of the younger generation? Do you want the whole of Huashan to know that you have no manners??”

The six elderly men snorted and turned away from each other..

Lin Yi glanced at the third elder and immediately remembered the Sect Master’s own elder brother, Qin Ming. It could be said that he served the Master with his eyes and ears, it was only thanks to him that Elders Linghu and Yu kept themselves in control.

However, in the game, Ouyang Ming died and Linghu Feng became the Sect Master. Elder Qin immediately lost control and was unable to stop the conflict between the factions. As a result, only thanks to his neutrality he managed to survive the purge, but during an attack by a vicious cult he defended the sect and died.

Thanks to this event, Lin Yi knew that he could be relied upon. Not to mention, as Ouyang Ming’s personal disciple, he could also count on support.

“Okay, child, tell me what your plans are,” Elder Qin smiled..

“Thank you, Master,” Lin Yi said as he stood up..

Looking at everyone, he began:

“First of all, I plan to improve the training system of Huashan students. I wish to create a system of deposits, thanks to which the best of the hundreds of thousands of students leaving the lower court will have access to higher techniques, high-quality medicine, special equipment, the best horses, and so on. I will assign a price to all this in “contribution points”, which can be obtained for special achievements in Huashan. I have described this step in detail, please take a look.”

Lin Yi took out several stacks of papers from the bag and distributed them to each of the thirteen great elders. He wrote one version a long time ago, after which he asked the maids to make twelve more copies..

Elder Qin finished reading and spoke first:

“This is a really good idea. It is described in detail and can be implemented. But I have a question. What are the benefits of this deposit system for Huashan??”

The question was very simple, but at the same time complex, because for the elders, who thought only about their clans and had long forgotten about the sect, the system did not bring direct benefits.

Therefore, it was necessary to make objections to this plan look like treason against Huashan:

“Every year, nearly ten thousand people leave Hua Mountain and are distributed among Huashan branches. Most immediately, the rest after two or three years completely lose their fighting spirit, because they have nowhere else to strive.”

“I must admit that I have already experienced this system in Hangzhou. And you yourself saw the result: the weakest of our branches was literally reborn when people again saw hope to continue their path in martial arts. Having worked only in caravans for years, they were able to defeat the Eagle Mountain bandits without losses! Each of these students took part in the battle of their own free will and not one of them retreated out of fear..”

“Thus, by applying this system, we will get hundreds of thousands of fearless and loyal warriors who will make Huashan much stronger. And they will allow us to make good money.”

The elders exchanged nods, Qin also nodded and motioned for him to sit down. Then he looked at the elders and said seriously:

“Those who agree, raise your hands. Personally, I really like this system, so I raise my hand first.”

No one answered, all the neutral elders looked at Elders Linghu and Yu. Qin did not react to this, and Lin Yi became gloomy..

Elder Yu smiled proudly. Now he was going to demonstrate how important support is in this world.

None of the smaller factions would dare cross the path of the two giants. Until one of the elders, Linghu or Yu, gives his opinion, the others will not show their reaction to the proposal..

“Hehe, Senior Brother Linghu, what do you think?” asked Elder Yu, smiling.

There was pride in his gaze. Among the thirteen elders, only Qin voiced his approval. Since he represented the will of the master, he could be said to be considered the third major faction. Therefore, if one of the representatives of the other two factions raises his hand, then at least five more people will raise his hand with him - and seven votes will be enough.

Thus, all power lay in the hands of three people, and the final decision was in the hands of two. Elder Yu's fingers trembled from the sweetness of the long-awaited victory..

But the stern Elder Linghu suddenly smiled smugly. Elder Yu's heart sank with foreboding..

His opponent raised his hand and said:

“I agree it's a good plan.”

Five more votes immediately supported him.

Seven votes, more than half. The first proposal passed.

Elder Yu glared at his opponent with all his eyes. And suddenly stared at Lin Yi.

What the hell happened?! Why did the damned old man Linghu take his side?! Or did he agree to win the trust of this young man??!

Yu did not believe that old man Linghu would put aside his hatred for the one who took away the title of chief disciple from his offspring, and even side with the scumbag!

He immediately felt anxious. Obviously, Linghu somehow bought Lin Yi!

Quickly throwing all emotions from his face and putting on a friendly smile, he said in a fatherly tone:

“Indeed, this is a wonderful idea, child. I agree.”

Lin Yi could hardly contain his laughter. His bribe has already worked to its full potential.
