214: Chapter 214 Xu Ruyu becomes the sect leader, Xiao Nianyin, just be a bed warmer.

"Besides, he is loyal and righteous!"

The Little Girl raised her voice slightly, her gaze sweeping over Xiao Nianyin: "Although he was used and nearly killed by some ungrateful wretch, didn't he still take care of her before? This shows that his Heart-Nature is not bad, and he has a bottom line!"

Finally, she waved her small hand, settling the matter: "Therefore, I think letting him take over as the Sect Master of this whatever-it-is Hehuan Sect is a good idea! A very good idea!"

Let Xu Ruyu... take over as the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect?!

This proposal shocked everyone once again!

However, compared to the earth-shattering information shock from before, although this proposal was still astonishing, it was at least within the realm of "understandable"—after all, this person was the "Master" of Old Ancestor Qingtian, with seniority that was off the charts. Although his strength could not be seen on the surface, since he was so highly regarded by the Old Ancestor, he must have his own extraordinary qualities.

Moreover, if he were to serve as Sect Master, perhaps he could really set things right and change the currently foul atmosphere of the Hehuan Sect?

After hearing this, Mo Hehuan did not hesitate at all and immediately nodded: "Revered Master's Wisdom Eye is as bright as a torch!

This Disciple also believes that Senior Ruyu... is capable of taking on this great responsibility!

If the Hehuan Sect can be led by him, it is truly the good fortune of the Sect!"

To her, it really didn't matter who became the Sect Master.

What was important was that Revered Master was happy, and that the Sect could get on the right track. Since Revered Master favored Xu Ruyu, she naturally supported it with both hands.

"Mm, that's right." The Little Girl nodded with satisfaction, then as if remembering something, asked again: "Then... what about that Xiao Nianyin?

How should she be dealt with? We can't just let it go like this, right? She almost harmed Xiao Yuer."

Mentioning Xiao Nianyin, Mo Hehuan's expression also darkened.

This future Sect Master was paranoid in Heart-Nature, eccentric in her actions, and almost caused a great disaster; she indeed needed to be severely punished.

The Little Girl's eyes rolled around, and a mischievous smile suddenly appeared on her face. She glanced at Xiao Nianyin, who was still kneeling in the distance with a withered aura, then looked at Xu Ruyu, who had a somewhat complicated expression beside her, and said to Mo Hehuan in an "I understand you very well" tone:

"As for this... I do have an idea."

She cleared her throat and deliberately raised her voice: "This girl Xiao Nianyin, although her intentions are not upright, she was at least a Sect Master once, and her looks... are passable.

It would be a pity to kill her, and crippling her... would make us seem too heartless."

She paused, and amidst everyone's suddenly tensed nerves, she said that earth-shattering sentence:

"How about... we just let her be a bed-warming maid for Xiao Yuer!"

"A... bed-warming maid?!"

Someone exclaimed involuntarily.

"This... this..."

Countless people widened their eyes.

The Little Girl seemed to think this idea was excellent, nodding to herself: "Yes, yes, yes! Just a bed-warming maid!

Serving tea and pouring water, making the bed and folding quilts, red sleeves adding fragrance... Mm, Xiao Yuer will surely like it!"

As she spoke, she even winked at Xu Ruyu, with an "it's nothing, don't thank me" expression.

Xu Ruyu: "..."

He felt his face burning a little. What is all this?!

A bed-warming maid? And Xiao Nianyin? That Hehuan Sect Revered Master who was previously high and mighty, cold and glamorous, and almost killed him? This image is too beautiful, he dare not imagine it!

Lady Qingli was also unable to hold back a laugh, her gaze towards Xu Ruyu full of teasing.

And Xiao Nianyin, the moment she heard the four words "bed-warming maid", was as if struck by a Nine Heavens mysterious thunderbolt!

She suddenly raised her head. On her pale, bloodless face, those ice-blue eyes stared fixedly at the Little Girl, filled with extreme humiliation, anger, unwillingness, and a trace of unbelievable absurdity!

A bed-warming maid?

For Xu Ruyu, whom she previously regarded as an ant and wanted to get rid of... to be a bed-warming maid?!

Serving tea and pouring water? Making the bed and folding quilts? Red sleeves adding fragrance?!

This was even harder for her to accept than killing her directly!

This was the ultimate trampling and insult to her character, her dignity, and all her past pride!

"No...!" Xiao Nianyin squeezed out a word from between her teeth, her voice hoarse and dry, filled with monstrous hatred and unyielding spirit, "I would rather die...!"

"Shut up!" Mo Hehuan scolded sharply, her gaze sweeping coldly over Xiao Nianyin, "This is not your place to speak!

Revered Master's decision is the final decree!"

She turned to the Little Girl and bowed: "Revered Master's method is excellent; it can both punish her for her faults without taking her life, and also... hmm, make the best use of her." She deliberated on her wording, "This Disciple agrees."

"We also agree!"

Chen Yongheng was the first to jump out to express his position. He had long found Xiao Nianyin unpleasant; she had almost caused them old guys to collectively lose face. Giving her this punishment was simply gratifying!

"Agree!"

"It should be so!"

"We respectfully obey the Old Ancestor's decree!"

Other Ancestral Master soul bodies also echoed one after another, without any disagreement.

To them, as long as Old Ancestor Qingtian and the Founding Ancestral Master nodded, the way Xiao Nianyin was dealt with was not a problem.

A future Sect Master who had committed a great mistake—no matter how she was dealt with, it was not excessive.

However, just at this moment, below the Law Execution Platform, among those Hehuan Sect Elders who had originally been silent as cicadas in winter, several people stood out.

These few people, both men and women, all had strong auras and were Elders in the Sect who held real power and had esteemed status.

They had long had political disagreements with Xiao Nianyin, or had conflicts of interest, or simply disliked her cold and domineering style, and had long been dissatisfied, but were hindered by Xiao Nianyin's cultivation and power, so they dared not act out.

At this moment, seeing Xiao Nianyin fall and be treated in such a humiliating way, although they felt some pleasure, they were more driven by the urge to seize power or express their dissent.

Especially when they heard that Xu Ruyu—this young man who was previously a "sinner", turned into the "Ancestral Master's Master" in the blink of an eye, with low cultivation and unknown background—was to take over as Sect Master, they found it even harder to accept.

An Elder at the Mid-Nascent Soul Stage with a sinister face spoke first. He bowed towards Mo Hehuan and the Little Girl, his tone appearing respectful but carrying doubt:

"Reporting to... the various Ancestral Masters," he didn't know how to address the Little Girl and Xu Ruyu for a moment, so he had to vaguely gloss over it, "Xiao Nianyin deserves her punishment, and we dare not comment on how she should be dealt with.

But..."
