This is not the right time to be hosting a wedding, considering the reappearance of master Chang Feng, also considering the fact that the Ming sect has been looking for a chance to take over all sects, won't a marriage give them the opening they needed? Asked one of the masters.
That's why I called for this meeting, Master Du Gu Yan replied. There are things we need to set right before the bloody sun. we need choose a new heir, as we don't know the level of casualty we might incur. We need to clear as many obstacles as possible, for the next generation.
It's time we send out the wedding invitations to all the people. It should be included that that there is a secret I want to reveal about the bloody sun at the wedding. And I'll also select the next sect leaders. Sect leaders? How many can there be? Asked master Chan. This time around we are selecting two sect leaders.
As I mentioned earlier, we don't know what casualty we might incur this time around. What if we lose even the selected heir apparent? Selecting two will give us better chances of not leaving the sect leaderless Master Du Gu Yan replied.
So how is the leadership structure going to be? Master Chan asked again. Jackie will be the sect leader, but he spends most of his time cultivating, so Hao Du will act on his behalf as the regent. We have made an agreement with Jackie's father, if the both of them survive, Jackie will go back to take over his sect, while Hao Du will take over fully as the Master of Wudang. But if one of them doesn't make it back, the other will lead the two sects.
Another reason for this meeting is the root of all martial arts. I'll also hand the out after the wedding. So it should be part of the invitation, that there would be contest, in order to choose who deserves to get the manual. Does anyone has anything to say or any objections? Master Du Gu Yan concluded.
You've thought everything through, so we will do as the master decides, all masters answered in unison as they walk out.
Jackie stepped in, can I have a moment of your time Master? Yes, you can Master Du Gu Yan answered. I want to go and revive my sect and rescue my parents. I want them to be part of my wedding. I am here to seek for permission.
I knew you would come, replied Master Du Gu Yan. Take Hao Du along with you, your father has a vital role to play in our preparation against the bloody sun. we have a higher chance of victory with him around, so even if you didn't come, I would have rescued him myself.
So I will send you to the Xiao sect together with Hao Du to deliver the wedding invitation, so once you are inside, you will use the chance to contact your fathers personal guard. Together you can save everyone. This is the best chance to do it, because the Ming sect attention is now on how to get the root of all martial arts, so they will most likely not bother sending reinforcement, so as not to expend their force. Thank you master, Jackie exclaimed, kneeling and bowing at the same time.
