Universe Infinite Canteen

"Ah?"

Ma Lu didn't expect that he would have a chance to be the leader of the Beggars' Sect.

He followed Chu Qianyuan back just to explain things clearly and collect another wave of rewards.

Han Guangzhong had already generously donated money to the Tianlong Sect, and he and Gu Qingyi also made a lot of efforts on the Beggars' Sect. They not only found the treasured lotus bowl of their ancestor, but also revealed the true face of Yuan Xiaoyun.

The Beggars' Sect is the largest sect in the world, and Ma Lu thought that their thank-you gift this time should not be less than that of the Tianlong Sect.

But even if he dared to think about it, he didn't expect that the Beggars' Sect would actually give him the position of leader.

Ma Lu refused on the spot.

What a joke, he just came here on a business trip, less than one day a week, and when the ingredients here were almost collected, a new route was opened later, and he came even less frequently.

Where is the time to manage and operate a gang, and it is still the largest gang in the martial arts world.

But before he could speak, someone else said, "Not right, not right, this is very wrong."

The person who spoke was Shi Hufa. He and his son Shi Ruoyu were from Bai Baoyu's faction, so they naturally opposed Ma Lu becoming the leader.

But he did not make a fuss about Ma Lu's identity.

Because as Chu Qianyuan said, although Ma Lu had not yet joined the Beggars' Sect, he was the last disciple of Deng Youtai, the former leader of the Beggars' Sect, and he could not be considered an outsider.

So Shi Hufa changed his perspective, "After all, Ma Shaoxia is still young and has not worked in the sect before. If he becomes the leader right away, how can he manage so many brothers below?

Deputy Gang Leader Jiang continued, "Yes, Ma Shaoxia is young, and even if he wants to be the leader, he doesn't have to rush. He can start as the helmsman first, accumulate experience, and it won't be too late to wait until the new leader abdicates.

"Don't worry about the experience, the two elders and Deputy Gang Leader Jiang. If the junior brother becomes the leader, I will help him on the side." Chu Qianyuan said.

Bai Baoyu and Deputy Gang Leader Jiang looked at each other in surprise.

After a moment, Deputy Gang Leader Jiang said, "In this case, let's follow the old rules and let the elders and helmsmen choose the next gang leader."

"No. My Beggar Gang has announced to the world that whoever gets the lotus bowl first will become the next gang leader. You all agreed at that time, so how can we go back on our word?"

Deputy Gang Leader Jiang was a little helpless. He didn't know why Chu Qianyuan, who usually didn't like to fight for power, was so tough this time.

Ma Lu guessed some of Chu Qianyuan's thoughts and came out to smooth things over.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, just choose, but since you have to choose, why not let the brothers present choose together? They are all members of the Beggar Gang, and we should listen to their opinions on such a big matter as choosing a gang leader."

"You said that!" Deputy Gang Leader Jiang was overjoyed.

"Then it's settled." Bai Baoyu also said hurriedly.

Chu Qianyuan frowned, and pulled Ma Lu aside, "Little Junior Brother, why did you agree to them? You have no chance of winning the election of Gang Leader."

Bai Baoyu and Deputy Gang Leader Jiang are both old members of the Beggars' Sect. They have been operating in the sect for many years. Their connections and prestige are not comparable to Ma Lu, a newcomer who suddenly appeared.

Even if the law enforcement elder owed him a favor, and Deng Youtai's disciples helped, this supporter was far from enough.

Ma Lu said, "It's okay, Senior Brother, I know you don't want Second Senior Brother to lose to Elder Bai and the others. I've taken the position of Gang Leader, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What is it?" Chu Qianyuan was a little surprised. He didn't know where Ma Lu's confidence came from.

…………

About half an incense stick later, Deputy Gang Leader Jiang ordered people to gather all the Beggars' Sect disciples inside and outside the sect and talked about the election of Gang Leader.

So many people definitely can't vote, and most of the Beggars' Sect disciples are illiterate. Asking them to write the names of three people is more deadly than asking them to fight with Tianlongmen.

So in the end, three areas were marked out, and whoever supported whomever they supported could stand there.

In just a short while, Bai Baoyu and Deputy Gang Leader Jiang had people call some more people down.

They were not targeting Ma Lu. In fact, when Ma Lu agreed to choose the gang leader, he was no longer a threat to Bai Baoyu and Deputy Gang Leader Jiang.

In contrast, the two of them became each other's biggest threat, and they were evenly matched, so naturally they had to do everything they could to increase their chances of winning.

The people called by Deputy Gang Leader Jiang arrived first, so he wanted to start right away, but Ma Lu asked to introduce himself first.

This request was not excessive. After all, most of the Beggar Gang disciples did not know who Ma Lu was. They only heard that he was Deng Youtai's last disciple.

In addition, Bai Baoyu agreed immediately, so Deputy Gang Leader Jiang had no reason to obstruct him.

Then Ma Lu came to the crowd, and Chu Qianyuan and Gu Qingyi followed him.

After clearing his throat, Ma Lu used his internal force and spoke.

"My dear fellow Beggars' Sect brothers, I am Malu, and I am the disciple that the old Sect Leader Deng accepted from outside.

"I am ashamed to say that my master taught me the Xiantian Pure Yang Palm and taught me martial arts, but I didn't get to see him for the last time. Alas.

"Upon hearing the sad news of my master's passing, I traveled thousands of miles to Qingyang County, initially just to pay tribute to my master.

"Upon learning that the Beggars' Sect had lost the Lotus Bowl, I thought of doing my best to help find this Beggars' Sect treasure together with Constable Gu.

"During this period, I was lucky enough to uncover the conspiracy of the second... well, the guardian Yuan, and resolved a war. However, most of the credit belongs to Gu Shenbu, and I just did some insignificant things.

"As for the position of the leader, I dare not even think about it. There are many people who are more talented than me in the Beggars' Sect, such as Elder Bai and Deputy Leader Jiang behind me."

Bai Baoyu and Deputy Leader Jiang saw that Ma Lu was so humble and openly stated that he was not as good as them. They thought he had retreated.

Just when he was about to do something to show his magnanimity, he heard Ma Lu suddenly change the subject.

"But the eldest brother told me that the Beggars' Sect is the largest gang in the world, and it values ​​reputation the most, and it is important to keep a promise.

"Since we have said before that whoever can find the lotus bowl will be the leader, if I don't want to be the leader, it will seem that the Beggars' Sect is not keeping its word. How can people in the world trust us beggars in the future?

"But I know my own strengths best. I definitely can't be the leader, and I don't want to put you in an unjust situation. After thinking about it, there is only one way.

Ma Lu paused, "I can be the leader, but only for three months, and then I will step down and let the position of leader pass to the eldest brother.

"I have always felt that only a hero like the eldest brother who is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness and open-minded can become the leader of the Beggars' Sect and lead hundreds of thousands of Beggars' disciples in the world."

Ma Lu's last words were sincere. Who told him to grow up watching Tianlong Bazhang? The image of Qiao Feng as the leader of the Beggars' Sect has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

After Ma Lu finished speaking, he did not forget to look back at the stunned Bai Baoyu and Deputy Sect Master Jiang, and winked at them.

Are you stupid? Have you never seen a joint election?
