Chapter 773: Chapter 7: The Cyan Lotus Sect’s Friendly and United Meeting
"Qinlian Sect?"
Everyone was stunned and all turned to Qin Gengyun.
Liu Su muttered, "No way, they’re showing off their love even now?"
"I disagree..." Xue Wen’s eyes widened as he was about to object, but his thick arm was tightly hugged by a pair of delicate little hands.
His attempt to stand up was instantly interrupted.
Xue Wen looked down to see Liu Xiaotang looking at him pitifully, her face full of pleading.
The young girl’s features were delicate and pretty, her brows slightly furrowed, and her lips pouting, like a poor little cat.
Xue Wen’s anger dissipated instantly, and the last word was swallowed back, as Liu Xiaotang gently pulled him back to his seat.
Beside him, Xue Wu glanced at his brother and Liu Xiaotang, a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he didn’t reveal it. He looked at everyone and said loudly:
"I think this name is quite good."
Actually, Qin Gengyun was the most surprised. Xia Qinglian had never mentioned this to him before, and now she suddenly announced in public that she wanted to rename the Cyan Lotus Sect to "Qinlian Sect."
Isn’t this his surname and his wife’s name?
It seemed a bit too obvious, wasn’t it?
Qin Gengyun wanted to speak, but found that he couldn’t open his mouth, and looked at Xia Qinglian in astonishment.
He saw his wife looking authoritatively at the members of the Cyan Lotus Sect, then quickly winked at him.
Qin Gengyun was speechless, as expected, his wife had sealed his mouth!
His wife originally wanted him to become the sect leader of Cyan Lotus Sect, and now she wanted to change the sect’s name to "Qinlian Sect."
It was probably to get the sect members used to his presence, and then push him forward as the leader.
This way, the resistance would be much smaller.
His wife was indeed meticulous in her plans.
But Qin Gengyun felt conflicted.
My wife is really too strong; does she have to force me to rely on her?
Xue Wu agreed, while the other members of the Cyan Lotus Sect looked at each other.
These were the most loyal disciples of the Cyan Lotus Sect, wholeheartedly wanting to restore the sect.
They had just been persuaded to agree to the name change, but didn’t expect the Saintess to propose such a name.
Someone raised their hand and whispered, "Saintess, how about we tweak it a bit, and call it Lianqin Sect?"
Xia Qinglian asked, "Why?"
The person nodded repeatedly, "Saintess, you are the backbone of the Cyan Lotus Sect, so naturally your name should come first, and Taoist Friend Qin’s surname should follow. This follows the order of seniority and hierarchy..."
The person was abruptly slapped on the head, and looked fearfully at Xia Qinglian’s angry face:
"Saintess, did you, did you hit me?"
The people next to him quickly said, "Saintess, please calm down. Zhang Quan isn’t well-read and misused the idiom. What he means is, the Cyan Lotus Sect should still hold you in high esteem, but of course, Taoist Friend Qin is also very important, so the sect’s name should put you in front."
Qin Gengyun nodded vigorously on the side, and the members of the Cyan Lotus Sect saw this and quickly said:
"Saintess, look, Taoist Friend Qin agrees too!"
Xia Qinglian glanced at Qin Gengyun, and a wisp of spiritual power flew out again, controlling Qin Gengyun’s neck and head.
Then everyone saw Qin Gengyun’s nodding turn into shaking his head.
Xue Wen angrily said, "Qin Gengyun, why are you so changeable? What on earth do you want?"
Qin Gengyun was frustrated, being secretly controlled by his wife to keep shaking his head, he could only move his eyeballs up and down to express his true opinion silently.
Sitting nearby, Mo Xiaolan asked with concern, "Qin Gengyun, what’s wrong with your eyes? Are you uncomfortable?"
Liu Su exclaimed, "Oh my! The son-in-law’s eyeballs are about to pop out, he’s possessed! Ouch! Miss, why did you hit me?"
Xia Qinglian expressionlessly withdrew her hand, and another wisp of spiritual power flew out, turning Qin Gengyun into a statue that couldn’t move at all.
She coldly surveyed the crowd and slowly said:
"Back when I was severely injured and wandered to Yunling Town, I would have died without Qin Gengyun."
"He was originally a Loose Cultivator, unrelated to the grudges between Cyan Lotus Sect and the Three Great Sects, but for my sake, he ventured into the Northern Wilderness and entered Zhenyang."
"Without Qin Gengyun, there would be no chance of Cyan Lotus Sect being rebuilt today."
"And, the most important reason of all..."
She paused, and everyone else stared at her intently. Xia Qinglian faintly smiled:
"Qinlian Sect sounds very nice, and I don’t want to change it anymore."
"..."
Everyone was speechless, thinking that the Saintess was about to reveal some earth-shattering reason, but it was just because it sounded nice?
Zhang Quan earnestly pondered this and then loudly said, "Reporting to the Saintess, I’ve read it aloud, and I feel Lianqin Sect rolls off the tongue easier than Qinlian Sect, ouch!"
The bench under Zhang Quan suddenly shattered, and he fell down with a thump, causing everyone else to be momentarily stunned before bursting into laughter.
Thus, in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, with the involved party unable to express any opinion, the decision to rename the Cyan Lotus Sect to "Qinlian Sect" was passed unanimously.
Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er were attending a core meeting of the Cyan Lotus Sect for the first time, and they couldn’t help but marvel:
"Wow, Sister Susu, your Cyan Lotus Sect is so harmonious!"
Liu Su laughed heartily, ignoring several sect members who were bruised and swollen from opposing Xia Qinglian’s words.
"Indeed, every time we have a meeting, Miss is the one who calls the shots!"
"Uh, I can see that."
Mo Xiaolan by now understood why Qin Gengyun had seemed so strange earlier, and after everyone left "cheerfully," she quietly said to Xia Qinglian:
"Sister, could you release him?"
Xia Qinglian glanced at her, "Feeling sorry for him?"
Mo Xiaolan hurriedly waved her hands: "No, Sister, you’re misunderstanding."
"I’m not misunderstanding, I know your feelings for Gengyun. Don’t worry, I won’t be angry."
Xia Qinglian suddenly smiled, gently brushing a lock of Mo Xiaolan’s hair behind her ear with a bit of tenderness, and whispered:
"I know, actually you were first... If you wish, my husband is willing to marry you, I don’t mind."
"Sister!"
Mo Xiaolan stood up and said seriously, "Other than the Fairy Sister who saved me back then, the person I admire most in this world is you. I know he loves you wholeheartedly, and I would never ruin your marriage!"
With that, she blushed and ran out.
"The main wife has given her blessing, yet she’s the one getting anxious?"
Liu Su stepped forward, chuckling:
"Miss, since Xiaolan isn’t willing, can I take her place? Ah!!"
In the discussion tent, only Qin Gengyun and Xia Qinglian remained. Xia Qinglian raised her hand slightly, and Qin Gengyun could finally move and speak.
Before he could say a word, Xia Qinglian had already sat on his lap, her stern face turning to a charming and gentle smile:
"Husband, the deed is done, don’t be angry, I’m here to apologize."
Qin Gengyun pointed at her: "You..."
Xia Qinglian suddenly leaned on his shoulder, her cold red lips close to his earlobe, her breath fragrant:
"Husband, didn’t you want me to dress like that? Tonight, I’m agreeing to it."
