Lin Yi nodded, motioned for her to leave, changed into fresh underwear, and went to the main palace. After waiting for the Master to be informed about him, he entered the building.
As he approached, Ouyang Ming looked up and smiled slightly, asking:
“Lin Yi, you have come?”
“I have come at your call!” he bowed.
“Not too tired?”
“I rested last night, in a town near Mount Hua.”
Ouyang Ming nodded and went to get a chair to let him sit down, still smiling.
“Please sit down and tell me about the situation in Hangzhou. I heard from others and read your report, but I still have questions. And I would like to hear about your achievements from you.”
When the Sect Master himself brought him a chair, Lin Yi was flattered. Ouyang Ming, the head of the faction, handed a chair to a disciple who joined the sect less than a year ago? Even an elder, who would believe such a thing? Lin Yi himself did not immediately understand what had happened. When he himself was a divine rank player, he was not so kind.
Apparently the Sect Master was sincerely interested in his success.No wonder he lost that fight in the game. His heart always lay on Huashan's problems, when would he find time to train martial arts? But with vicious cults everything is different. They go over their heads, leaving all problems on those below them. Their elders did nothing but practice martial arts.
Ouyang Ming, on the other hand, hardly took up martial arts once in ten years.
While these thoughts had time to flash through his head, Lin Yi took a chair and said:
“If you have any questions, please ask.”
Ouyang Ming nodded:
“You captured forty-nine cities in the Hangzhou region, but something else surprised me: the creation of copies of Liushanmen and, moreover, schools in each city. Let everyone do martial arts? Honestly, I don't understand why this is necessary.”
Lin Yi nodded. Ouyang Ming truly deserved his position – while others only cared about his victories, the Sect Master immediately thought about the consequences. But this was only for the better, because these ideas were not controversial, but ingenious.
“Master, before I answer, let me ask a question. I want to know: what do you think is most important for a sect??”
Ouyang Ming was surprised by this turn of events and even respect appeared in his gaze, along with a sense of amusement. Over the years, he had heard and asked this question more than once, but it had never been asked of him before. To a person who knows Huashan, one of the largest sects, like no one else.
So, almost without thinking, he answered:
“For a large sect, strong experts are most important. In the world of fists, only they can keep everything under control..”
Lin Yi nodded and asked another question:
“What are strong experts??”
“First class, of course. The more there are, the stronger the sect.”
“Where do first-class experts come from, and how can you get more??”
“Well, almost every year someone from the bottom yard reaches the top.”
“Then how can we get more disciples for the lower court??”
Ouyang Ming leaned back and laughed:
“Oh you sly fox!”
“Yes. The whole of Hangzhou will now not only become stronger, but will also love Huashan with all its soul, which opened this path for them. The same applies to Liushanmen. Protecting the interests of everyone, including the common people, will allow people to live in peace and send their children to school without fear, so we will not miss a single genius. What is more important is that people will have a path to rise upward. Good grades will allow them to move to a new level, so, step by step, they will rise from the level of students of the lower Huashan courtyard to the upper one, and there true ones can be born. With such a colossal influx of disciples, won't Huashan become stronger? Wouldn't they all be guarding their families and homes? As a result, Hangzhou will turn into an impregnable fortress - after all, a thousand ants will devour an elephant.”
These words startled Ouyang Ming and his eyes lit up. Deep in thought, he sighed:
“Yes, you made the Hangzhou region as strong as a rock. No one will be able to move the power of Huashan.”
Lin Yi nodded:
“The same applies to the alliance in Hangzhou itself. The agreements signed by the three clans firmly tied their good to our good, therefore, if they do not want to fail, they will help us. Therefore, thanks to them, we don’t even have to devote special forces to defense, they can handle it themselves.”
Ouyang Ming nodded and looked at him with admiration. So protect the interests of your own sect by using three famous clans for your benefit? He truly deserved the position of chief disciple. Only if the sect is in the hands of such a person will he be able to breathe easy.
“This success gave Huashan a strategic position in the most defended area of the Central Plains. If the demons break through all the other defense posts, then that’s where the real war will begin. In the worst case scenario, Huashan will retreat to Eagle Mountain and be able to reorganize the troops.”
Lin Yi’s words made Ouyang Ming’s heart ache. He immediately stood up and looked at the map of the entire fist world. Looking at the location of Eagle Mountain and Huashan, he couldn't help but lean his hand on the table.
But Lin Yi has not yet finished finishing off the old man:
“I have one idea on how to make Huashan much stronger.”
“Yes? Speak!”
Ouyang Ming raised his eyebrows in anticipation. Lin Yi surprised him greatly today. One way to make Huashan stronger after another, and all of them have already taken effect. Moreover, these are not some small things, he has already made the sect twice as strong, if not more. This was a very constructive approach that pleased Ouyang Ming, who wanted balance and prosperity for Huashan.
In his opinion, Lin Yi has already become the ideal heir.
After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Yi said:
“I believe that the student development system in Huashan is not effective enough and could be improved.”
“Yes? And how?”
“Well, we have the lower court, the upper court, and the true court, for a total of three levels of disciples. The situation is approximately the same in all sects of the fist world. However, although this method allows for the development of talented students, it is unfair to those who, without talent, move forward through perseverance. And for those who make a great contribution. Over the decades, hundreds of thousands of disciples left the lower courtyard and remained in Huashan. And although they are, in a way, expelled from Mount Hua, they are the ones the sect stands on. I believe that they should also have a chance to rise. As you know, among them there are experts of the third, second, and even first class.”
Lin Yi paused as he looked into the eyes of the Sect Master.
“Continue,” Ouyang Ming said seriously..
