Starting As A Clan Leader: My Rules Are A Bit Wild

Chapter 19: Today, you take pride in the sect, and in the future, the sect will take pride in you.

"Could this Embracing Moon Sect rise again and make a comeback?" Elder Zhou's expression was grim on the flying boat of the Peach Blossom Sect.

Elder Wu pondered and said, "Xiao Ling'er may have entered the sect with her skills, but at such a young age, possessing such strength and temperament, she is indeed a genius. However, geniuses before they grow up are just geniuses."

"We can find an opportunity..."

Elder Zhou nodded, "That's true."

"But I am overly worried. Besides, even if she grows up, so what? The sect has never relied on just one person. Who among the five elders of the Embracing Moon Sect is weak? Yet, isn't the Embracing Moon Sect still at the bottom of the third-rate sects?"

"The disciples of the Embracing Moon Sect are few and of varying quality. This year, we only recruited Xiao Ling'er. Even if she grows up, it will only allow the Embracing Moon Sect to barely survive."

"Perhaps, it may not even survive."

"What do you mean, Elder Zhou?"

"Human nature."

"We cultivators base everything on strength. With Xiao Ling'er's talent, perhaps in a few years, the Embracing Moon Sect will no longer be able to provide any help for her."

"At that time, will she still care about the Embracing Moon Sect? Who can say for sure?"

"That makes sense." Elder Wu nodded in agreement.

However, both of them were well aware.

This argument was just self-consolation, a form of self-indulgence.

Everything was based on "possibility," but who knew what the future held?

"If there is an opportunity, we should..."

Elder Wu raised his hand and lightly touched his neck.

"Exactly!"

"..."

...

"Return to the mountain."

Lin Fan waved his hand, and everyone returned to the mountain.

On the way, he spoke lightly, "You all saw it too."

"In the Immortal Martial Continent, strength has always been paramount."

"If one has strength, even if they slap the disciples of their elders in front of them, the elders can only swallow their broken teeth. But if one lacks strength, the outcome of today's events would have been different."

The disciples deeply agreed and nodded, while a strong desire to become stronger spread in their hearts.

At the same time, the seven mascots looked at Xiao Ling'er with envy in their eyes...

But then Lin Fan continued, "Now, when encountering these third-rate sects, we have five elders standing in front, shielding us from the wind and rain."

"But the elders are also human. They will age, get injured, and die. There are many people stronger than them."

"If one day, they grow old, they are no longer here, or even when their lifespan is exhausted, what will we do?"

Everyone's minds sank, and they fell into contemplation.

Xiao Ling'er took a deep breath and said, "Today, the sect shields us from the wind and rain. In the future, we will shield the sect and the future generations from the wind and rain!"

"That's right."

Lin Fan smiled, "The inheritance of the sect is passed down from generation to generation, just like this."

"Generation after generation, the previous generation selflessly dedicates themselves to the next generation, and the next generation has their own mission."

"Today, you take pride in being elders and in the sect."

"In the future, the sect will take pride in you!"

With a loud bang, these words echoed in the disciples' minds, and goosebumps rose from head to toe.

"I hope that one day, you will also become elders, shielding the sect from the wind and rain, suppressing injustice for future generations, and eliminating all obstacles."

"I truly look forward to that day."

These words came from the heart of Lin Fan.

Since I have become the sect master, I must take on the responsibility.

The healthy development of a sect cannot be achieved without everyone's collective effort.

Perhaps, the seven mascots were destined to achieve nothing, but from now on, or rather, from the moment I became the sect master, everything will be different.

Now, disciples with protagonist templates have joined the Embracing Moon Sect.

As the saying goes, when one person achieves success, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Even if they cannot ascend to heaven, even if they only gain a tiny benefit, it is enough for them to rise.

Becoming a top powerhouse may be difficult.

But becoming a pillar of the sect is not a problem.

Moreover, if we are lucky, there will be more disciples with protagonist templates joining in the future. With their leadership, why worry about not prospering?

"I also look forward to it."

Wu Xingyun spoke at this moment, full of melancholy. "In terms of combat power, I am currently the number one in the Embracing Moon Sect, but I sincerely hope that you can grow quickly and surpass us, and go further on this path, leaving us old folks far behind, until we can't even see your backs."

"On that day, I will not be sad, I will not be sorrowful, and I will not be jealous."

"On the contrary, even if I die, I will smile in the afterlife."

Su Xinghai smiled and said, "I feel the same way."

Li Changshou stood with his hands behind his back. "So, work hard in your cultivation, little ones."

Chen Erzhu laughed, "I'm not educated and my mouth is clumsy, so... I'm the same."

Duan Qingyao displayed her magic, and a large cloud of mist gathered, lifting everyone up to a height of ten thousand meters. "The view from above is much more exciting than at the foot of the mountain. Even if it's not for the sect, just wanting to stand at a higher place, we must not slack off."

The disciples were all moved.

Xiao Ling'er's eyes turned red.

But they didn't know that the elders standing in front felt the same way.

They knew more than the disciples, but because of this, they had more doubts and more confusion.

Why was Lin Fan so dominant just now?

But now, they roughly understood.

At the same time, they finally believed that this was the last chance for the Embracing Moon Sect!

They also believed that Lin Fan was the only sect master who had given everyone hope in so many years.

"Could it be that before we die, we can really see the Embracing Moon Sect rise again?!"

If that were true, just casually imagining the future scenes would make their breathing quicken.

"Even if we can't see the rise, just being able to witness the Embracing Moon Sect flourishing and starting to climb uphill would be enough for me to die without regrets."

After this day, the disciples' cultivation became noticeably more intense and serious.

There is no need to talk about Xiao Ling'er. The life of a protagonist does not require explanation. Even if she suddenly said "Do not underestimate the poor youth," Lin Fan would not be surprised.

The seven mascots also seemed to have opened up their potential.

Their cultivation did not skyrocket, and their talent did not change much, but their diligence... at least it could make up for some of their clumsiness.

Xiao Ling'er's growth as a junior sister would deeply stimulate them and make them grit their teeth and chase after her.

Coupled with the boost from the Seventh Grade Condensing Essence Pill, their strength naturally surpassed their previous levels.

Li Changshou also successfully handled the matter.

He sold a portion of the Seventh Grade Condensing Essence Pills and obtained tens of thousands of spirit stones, enough for the sect's members and the protective formation to last for a while. At least for a short time, they didn't have to worry about spirit stones.

The five elders became even busier.

Because Xiao Ling'er needed more spirit medicine and materials.

However, although they were busy, they enjoyed it.

Perhaps, the only problem with the Embracing Moon Sect at the moment was that there were too few disciples and the scale was too small, resulting in a lack of competition.
