Xu Ruyan's light words completely silenced Wei Dongliu.
What, the immortals have already decided?
How could I, a mere Sect Leader of the Myriad Laws Mystic Profound Sect, suddenly be suitable to become the Sect Leader of the Mortal Life Path?
I haven't even seen the face of the Sect Guardian Immortal!
Of course, referring to that immortal as "Sect Guardian Immortal" is not very accurate—although that immortal is from the Daoist tradition, he has been obsessed with Buddhist teachings for many years and no longer deals with the affairs of the Mortal Life Path; otherwise, the Mortal Life Path wouldn't have fallen into its current state.
For example, he is like Jia Jing from the Ningguo Mansion in "Dream of the Red Chamber," a classic example of having the ability but not willing to take responsibility.
If that is the case, then this whole "immortals deciding you will be the Sect Leader of the Mortal Life Path" clearly does not make sense.
