117: Elite education, closed management

"How about... I go to Xiao Zhu Peak to inform them?"

An Elder suggested.

The Lingjian Peak Elder's face was full of sarcasm upon hearing this.

"We Elders are meeting here, and it's fine if Xiao Zhu Peak doesn't attend. Do we still need to go invite him? Furthermore, this matter was originally caused by Xiao Zhu Peak."

The Qi Peak Elder took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to retort, and said seriously, "Do you dare to say that to Shen Qingqiu's face?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" The Lingjian Peak Elder appeared extremely resolute. "Even if he were here, I'd dare to question him directly..."

He had only spoken half his sentence.

A figure appeared outside the hall door.

Who else could it be but Shen Qingqiu?

"Sect Master, are you holding a meeting?" Shen Qingqiu saw that besides the Sect Master, the Elders from various Peaks were also present in the hall, and he was quite bewildered by their Formation.

The Sect Master rarely held meetings, and when this one was convened, all the Peak Elders were present, except for Xiao Zhu Peak.

Does my Xiao Zhu Peak not deserve to be here?

Wait a minute.

Could it be that my two Revered Masters forgot to attend the meeting?

Once the thought emerged, it could no longer be suppressed, because his two Revered Masters had skipped meetings more than once or twice.

In the past, he would attend Sect meetings on behalf of his two Revered Masters, but this time, he truly couldn't spare the time.

Shen Qingqiu didn't speak upon arriving at the hall, but an Elder couldn't sit still.

I just spoke ill of Xiao Zhu Peak, surely it wasn't heard, was it?

The Lingjian Peak Elder was very flustered. He lifted his leg, then pursed his lips, and finally, hardening his heart, stood up.

"This Elder believes that Xiao Zhu Peak is too small. Now that Dan Peak is also vacant, why not assign Dan Peak to Xiao Zhu Peak? Furthermore, I personally believe that it would be best for Shen Shishu to handle it entirely, with Qi Peak and Lingzhen Peak providing full cooperation. As for Materials, they can follow the Sect's procedures..."

"Sect Master, Shen Qingqiu, a Disciple of Xiao Zhu Peak, is here to request that Dan Peak be designated as a strategic unit, and that the Heaven Sealing Demon Banning Array be set up on it. A portion of Artifact Refining Grandmasters, Formation Grandmasters, Alchemy Grandmasters, Talisman Grandmasters, and so on, will be gathered there to establish a comprehensive auxiliary academy, implementing fully enclosed management to cultivate new, comprehensive talents for the Xuanxiao Sect."

The two spoke almost simultaneously.

However, what they said left the people in the hall a bit confused.

What the heck?

When did you, from Lingjian Peak, side with Xiao Zhu Peak? Where was your firm stance just now? Compared to your current submissiveness, I still prefer your arrogance from before.

The Elders actually understood the sudden shift in Lingjian Peak's attitude; it was simply out of fear that Shen Qingqiu would treat them the same way he treated Dan Peak.

Playing one role in front of people and another behind their backs, they've truly mastered this trick.

However, what they couldn't understand was Shen Qingqiu's words.

What does it mean to designate Dan Peak as a strategic unit, implement closed management, and cultivate new, comprehensive talents for the Xuanxiao Sect?

"Shen Shishu, we don't quite understand what you mean. Weren't you talking about setting up the Heaven Sealing Demon Banning Array on Dan Peak? What does this have to do with what you're saying?"

It was the Qi Peak Elder who asked, believing that Qi Peak, the current Dan Peak, and Xiao Zhu Peak had a good relationship, and asking these questions shouldn't displease Shen Qingqiu.

Shen Qingqiu patiently answered the Qi Peak Elder's questions, clarifying everything one by one.

In summary, it was: Han Li, a Disciple of Xiao Zhu Peak, felt it was necessary to transform Dan Peak into a Peak with closed management, eliminating all distractions, to cultivate well-rounded elite talents.

The Heaven Sealing Demon Banning Array was set up to prevent some Elders from being unable to resist their longing for their excellent Disciples and secretly sneaking in to visit their apprentices. On the other hand, it was also to prevent the Disciples inside from secretly sneaking out, given the closed management.

Of course, there would be a few days of vacation each year.

The rest of the time, they would study diligently inside!

Upon learning this, all the Elders were utterly speechless.

It's just closed management; is it necessary to use the Heaven Sealing Demon Banning Array? Even the Xuanxiao Sect's Sect Master, who is in the Middle Stage of Undergoing Tribulation, wouldn't be able to get out if he fell into the Heaven Sealing Demon Banning Array, let alone other Elders and Disciples...

Hehe.

They can't get in, and they can't get out.

However, this also aligns with closed management.

Everyone's gaze shifted back and forth between Sect Master Master Xuanji and Shen Qingqiu, wondering if this agreement could be reached.

It still depended on these two.

Master Xuanji pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is this closed-door elite education management Han Li's idea?"

"Yes." Shen Qingqiu nodded.

Actually, at first, he thought the other party was disappointed in him and Xiao Zhu Peak, and thus wanted to imprison himself on Dan Peak with the Heaven Sealing Demon Banning Array.

At that time, he was a hundred percent against it.

There were only a few Disciples on Xiao Zhu Peak, and only this Junior Brother understood him best. How could he allow the other party to imprison himself on a Peak due to conflicts between Senior Brother and Junior Brother?

However, after communicating with this Junior Brother, he realized that he had been narrow-minded.

This Junior Brother saw that Xiao Zhu Peak was thinly populated, and thus intended to use this method to select elite talents within the Sect, manage them centrally, interact with more talented individuals, and recruit them into Xiao Zhu Peak to strengthen it.

Under such favorable conditions for Xiao Zhu Peak, how could he disagree?

And so, this situation came about.

The Sect Master remained silent for a moment, then spoke again, "Where is Han Li? I want to hear his explanation."

As soon as he finished speaking.

At the entrance of the main hall, another person appeared.

Chu Mo walked in from outside the hall, came to Shen Qingqiu's side, and bowed to the Sect Master and Elders.

"Disciple Han Li greets the Sect Master and Elders!"

Seeing Chu Mo like this, Sect Master Master Xuanji's mouth twitched slightly, and his fist under his sleeve tightened.

The last time they met, the attitude this kid displayed was not like this; his arrogant and overbearing demeanor was almost etched onto his face.

Now he actually understood etiquette.

The Elders of Qi Peak, Lingzhen Peak, and Talisman Peak, however, nodded slightly to Chu Mo, appearing very enthusiastic.

But this was also normal.

To them, Chu Mo was a big client.

He frequently placed large orders with them, and Shen Qingqiu's payment speed was also very fast; they could basically settle the bill as soon as it was sent, unlike other Peaks that dragged their feet. How could they not befriend such a straightforward person?

Although the Elders of the other Peaks had some complaints about Shen Qingqiu and Chu Mo, they only dared to grumble a bit behind their backs.

Saying such things to Shen Qingqiu's face was just asking for trouble. What if another incident like the Dan Peak accident occurred?

They would have nowhere to cry!

Sect Master Master Xuanji saw all the Elders' attitudes towards Chu Mo, but he could do nothing about it.

Who made Shen Qingqiu the strongest in the Xuanxiao Sect?

If he could, he also wanted an invincible Senior Brother, and then he could be the arrogant Junior Brother, not having to bear the burden even if the sky fell.

Unfortunately, he was now the one bearing the sky!

Master Xuanji flicked his sleeve and said indifferently, "Alright! You don't have to be so reserved. Tell us about the closed-door elite management."

Reserved?

Sect Master, where do you see him being reserved?

The Elders blinked, looking at Chu Mo, who stood unmoving, his face utterly calm.

There was no sign of reservation there.

On the contrary, judging from his facial expression, he was even more composed than Master Xuanji, the Sect Master!
