Chapter 461: I can give it to you at any time!
Since Luo Hongzhen had no children in his life and his life was coming to an end...
He decided to choose one of his two disciples to become the Holy Son, inherit the mantle of Qianluo Palace, and become the next master of Qianluo Palace.
This sudden news was like a storm, quickly sweeping across the entire Qianluo Palace, causing a huge sensation and controversy.
When the second disciple Yu heard the news, he immediately felt depressed and his face was filled with worry.
He has always been free and did whatever he wanted, and never thought of being bound by the heavy identity of the Son of God.
He just wanted to stop fighting and continue living his free and unrestrained life.
However, Palace Master Luo Hongzhen was extremely firm in his attitude and made it clear that both of them must participate in the selection.
The Palace Master's order could not be disobeyed, so the second disciple Yu had no choice but to participate in the selection unwillingly.
The process of selecting the Son of God is extremely rigorous.
Not only did it severely test their cultivation strength, but it also set up many levels in many aspects such as wisdom, leadership and adaptability.
Faced with such difficult challenges, Mu Chengyun remained calm as always, and he responded to these tests one by one with outstanding performance.
In every assessment, he demonstrated outstanding strength and talent, which was amazing.
Although Yu was very reluctant in his heart.
But he also relied on his extraordinary talent and quick wit to successfully pass various tests.
In the final peak showdown, Yu Yu originally planned to deliberately let Mu Chengyun win easily.
However, all of this was seen by Palace Master Luo Hongzhen, who saw through Yu's little trick at a glance.
Then, Luo Hongzhen said to Yu Yu with a serious expression:
"Yu'er, you should clearly understand that this selection is of great significance to Qianluo Palace. It is related to the future development of Qianluo Palace and is by no means a joke."
"If you deliberately let me win, it would be irresponsible to Qianluo Palace and disrespectful to your teacher."
"I sincerely hope that you can go all out and compete fairly with Cheng'er, so that the most capable one can become the Holy Son and lead Qianluo Palace to a more glorious tomorrow."
Luo Hongzhen looked at Yu solemnly and spoke earnestly.
Yu Yu's heart trembled. He had never seen his master Luo Hongzhen look so serious.
He was well aware of his master's expectations for Qianluo Palace and his trust in them two brothers.
He gritted his teeth, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he nodded in response: "Disciple understands, and will definitely do his best."
Yu Yu sighed helplessly, and had to put away his little thoughts and start a real contest with Mu Chengyun.
After all, he couldn't let his master down.
In fact, although Yu Yu likes to play around normally, he also practices diligently in secret, and his cultivation has long surpassed Mu Chengyun.
In the end, there was no suspense. Yu Yu successfully defeated Mu Chengyun with his own strength and became the Holy Son of Qianluo Palace.
Mu Chengyun stood quietly aside. He looked at Yu Yu, a barely perceptible disappointment flashed in his eyes, and his gaze dimmed a little.
He lowered his head slightly, then raised it again after a moment, forced a smile, and bowed to Yu Yu, saying:
"Congratulations, Junior Brother. You really deserve it."
Yu Yu smiled bitterly: "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Mu Chengyun continued, "Junior brother, since you have become the Holy Son of our Qianluo Palace, you must take on the corresponding responsibilities. I hope you will not disappoint Master's expectations."
Mu Chengyun congratulated Yu Yu with a smile, but his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched unconsciously.
His heart was as complicated as the turbulent sea, jealousy and unwillingness quietly spread in his heart, growing like weeds.
He thought that his hard work and dedication would be rewarded, but he didn't expect to be surpassed by his junior fellow student in the end.
He felt that fate was unfair. He had been practicing hard and working diligently, and had contributed so much to Qianluo Palace.
However, he lost the chance to become the Son of God at the critical moment, and he was unwilling and angry.
But he couldn't show his true emotions, so he could only pretend to be calm and maintain his outward demeanor.
After all, he is the eldest senior brother and cannot let others see his inner thoughts.
Yu looked at his senior brother Mu Chengyun, who looked a little lost, and felt full of guilt.
He knew that the eldest senior brother had always worked very hard and had made a lot of sacrifices to become the Son of God.
But now, this position was taken away by himself, and he felt very sorry for his senior brother.
He made a bitter face, scratched his head and said: "Big Brother, this is not what I want."
"This position of Holy Son should have been yours. I don't want to be it at all."
"I am free and easy by nature. I just want to live freely and don't want to be bound by these responsibilities as a son of God."
He really had never thought about competing with his senior brother for the position of Holy Son, and he did not have such a strong desire for power.
He would rather live freely than be bound by these responsibilities as a Son of God.
Mu Chengyun replied with a fake smile: "Junior brother, this is what you deserve, so you don't have to refuse it."
"You are extremely talented and performed well in this selection. Master's choice is correct."
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he still tried his best to remain polite and graceful.
"Brother, I am just a stupid person. I am afraid that no matter how hard I try, I can't be half as good as you. I believe that you can lead Qianluo Palace to glory."
There was self-mockery in his tone.
But in fact, his heart was full of resentment and jealousy, and there was a barely perceptible gloom in his eyes.
He thought to himself, "I have been practicing hard for so many years and have contributed so much to Qianluo Palace, but in the end, my junior brother easily took away my position as the Holy Son."
He believed that Yu must have deliberately concealed his strength at the last moment to let himself relax his vigilance, and then took the opportunity to seize the position of the Son of God.
He secretly swore in his heart that he must find an opportunity to take back what originally belonged to him.
Yu Yu sighed helplessly.
He knew very well that no matter how he explained, the senior brother would not believe it.
He could only accept this reality helplessly.
At the same time, he was thinking about how to get rid of the position of Holy Son and live a free life again.
Yu Yu looked at Mu Chengyun sincerely and said in a sincere tone:
"Big Brother, you are too kind. In my heart, Big Brother has always been my role model. It was just by chance that I got the position of the Holy Son."
"Big Brother, I will find a chance to explain to Master and ask him to reconsider the candidate for the position of Holy Son. I believe you are the most suitable person."
"Of course, if you want the position of Holy Son, I can give it to you at any time."
Hearing this, Mu Chengyun's face changed.
He waved his hands quickly and said anxiously: "Brother, what are you talking about? Master's order cannot be changed."
"Just fulfill your duties well. I will continue to serve Qianluo Palace. I only hope that you can lead Qianluo Palace to prosperity in the future."
However, his eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of resentment, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
After saying that, he turned and left, waving his sleeves and walking hurriedly, his back looking a little lonely.
And Yu stood there alone, his heart filled with helplessness and confusion.
He stood there in a daze, staring blankly in the direction where Mu Chengyun left, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
His face was full of guilt and apology.
