The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 421, New Regulations

Meng Qingyao sensed the change in the atmosphere in the council hall. Because she was sitting in a high position, she saw the change in the expressions of the attendees and saw sparks appear in the eyes of the secret realm masters and the heads of the Qihuang Hall.

Even a mayfly can shake a tree.
Meng Qingyao thought bitterly to herself that Hua Changxi had not only shaken the tree, but had also planted a new spark at its roots.

"Today's meeting agenda."

Meng Qingyao's clear, cold voice broke the silence. It wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority: "Peak Master Hua, as well as Pavilion Master Mu, Secret Realm Master Yan, and others have all raised their own concerns."

"The Holy Land convened the meeting precisely to allow everyone to express their opinions."

"Everyone is able to put forward their ideas and opinions for the development of the Holy Land. I, along with Pavilion Master Shen and Hall Master Tong, are very supportive of this."

"However," she abruptly changed the subject, her tone slightly somber, "the core issue of today's meeting is the matter of seeking medical treatment at Lingguang Palace."

Seeing that Meng Qingyao intended to circumvent the controversy, Huo Yunxiao couldn't sit still any longer. It was only because of Hua Changxi's attendance that some things had finally come to light. If he didn't address them now, they would probably just fade away again.

"Sect Master Meng, since you, Sect Master Shen, and Hall Master Tong all support us in expressing our opinions, and we have already voiced our doubts today, could you please offer some guidance?"

Gu Jinfan chimed in, "Yes, since some problems have already surfaced, why don't we discuss them thoroughly today?"

Meng Qingyao suppressed the surging agitation in her heart and tried her best to keep her tone calm: "The matter you have raised concerns the very foundation of the Holy Land and has far-reaching implications. It requires careful consideration. I will make a decision after discussing it in detail with Pavilion Master Shen and Hall Master Tong."

Mu Qingying frowned: "Sect Master Meng, the Secret Realm Master and the Pavilion Masters are all here today, why can't we discuss this directly?"

Faced with a barrage of questions, Meng Qingyao's tone became sharp and firm: "There are priorities. Manager Yun of Lingguang Palace has already asked Minister Wei to bring her to our door, which shows that the Vermilion Bird Army urgently needs medical treatment. The issues you raised today can be discussed at the next meeting, and it won't delay anything."

Seeing that Meng Qingyao was using the Vermilion Bird Army as a pretext, Hua Changxi couldn't stand it anymore: "Sect Leader Meng, let's discuss the issues raised by everyone first."

"Seeking medical help at Lingguang Palace involves arranging physicians from various departments, peaks, and secret realms, as well as mobilizing spiritual medicines and elixirs."

"If we don't clarify the standards and requirements for 'participation qualifications and task assignments' that everyone wants to know, how will Pavilion Master Meng arrange the selection of doctors this time?"

"Are we going to do it the same way as before, sending whoever has the most power or the strongest connections?"

Meng Qingyao was truly angry, glaring at Hua Changxi with a furious expression: "Peak Master Hua, please watch your words!"

Hua Changxi looked at her, not backing down at all: "If you want me to shut up, it's very simple. Just lay out the 'standards and requirements for task assignment' one by one."

"Whoever meets the requirements, we'll select."

"Well said!" Huo Yunxiao immediately chimed in. "List out all the standards and requirements for task assignments. It will be clear at a glance and demonstrate fairness. The entire Holy Land will surely support it!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qianfan, the head of Qihuang Pavilion who had been silent all along, could no longer sit still: "The assignment of tasks involves the operation and development of the Holy Land, and requires careful consideration and flexible handling."

Hua Changxi bluntly stated, "So, you're saying that you have the final say on how tasks are assigned? Everyone else just has to obey?"

Shen Qianfan took a deep breath: "Peak Master Hua, please believe that whether it is me, Pavilion Master Meng, Hall Master Tong, we all want the Holy Land to be better."

“I believe you.” Hua Changxi’s lips curled into a sneer. “It’s just that your so-called ‘for the Holy Land’ means you always have to ensure that your own interests are not harmed before you’ll even consider the Holy Land.”

Following Meng Qingyao, Shen Qianfan was also so angry that he stood up: "Hua Changxi, you can't just say things like that."

Hua Changxi remained unfazed, instead raising an eyebrow provocatively: "Did I say something wrong? Then do you dare to swear that you have no selfish motives and are only devoted to the Holy Land? If you lie, I'll have Shenmu take back the secret realm and the Qihuang Token from your hands. Do you dare?"

Shen Qianfan opened his mouth but remained silent. Princess Lingyuan saw Shen Qianfan slink back to his seat, looking somewhat embarrassed. She seemed to want to help her husband regain his honor, but she didn't have the courage to provoke Hua Changxi, so she could only turn her head away and not look.

Everyone else present felt embarrassed for Shen Qianfan.

Tang Yufeng looked at Hua Changxi with admiration. There were some things that were really hard to say, whether it was the master of the secret realm or the master of the Qihuang Hall. It wasn't that they didn't dare to, but that the implications were too great and they had too many concerns.

Unlike Hua Changxi, who showed no restraint when facing Meng Qingyao and Shen Qianfan, and showed no respect whatsoever to the Xia family and the royal family behind them.

That carefree and unrestrained attitude is truly enviable!
Hua Changxi didn't like being in charge, but the problem of Danyuan Peak being held hostage had to be resolved. Since they had already come to this point, he looked at Tong Zhou, the only one in the main seat who hadn't spoken yet.

"Does Hall Master Tong have nothing to say?"

Tong Zhou glanced quickly at the silent Wen Shouren. Seeing that he didn't give him any indication, he thought for a moment and said, "Since everyone wants to discuss the qualifications for participation and the task assignments, let's discuss it."

Upon hearing this, Meng Qingyao and Shen Qianfan both looked over, their faces showing displeasure. The council hall instantly erupted in a cacophony of whispers and murmurs.

Tong Zhou smiled and said, "Everyone is welcome to speak freely."

Although the people present were discussing it enthusiastically, no one stood up to speak; they were all just observing.

Upon seeing this, Hua Changxi raised his voice and said, "Since some of the old rules of the Holy Land are unreasonable and have caused a lot of discussion, it is necessary to renegotiate and revise the new rules."

“In the past, this was the Imperial Medical Bureau. I won’t comment on how the Medical Bureau operated.”

"But now, this place represents the Dan Sheng Temple."

"Since this is the Dan Sheng Hall, there is one thing that everyone needs to be aware of: apart from the secret realm masters who are in charge of the secret realm, even the masters who have obtained the Qi Huang Token but have not opened the Qi Huang Hall are not considered true managers of the holy land."

"What I'm saying is that the people who are truly qualified to manage the development of the Pill Saint Temple should be the masters of the various secret realms, not some miscellaneous powerful and influential figures."

"Of course, each holy land has its successor, but the successor of the Pill Saint Palace has not appeared yet, so let's just pretend they don't exist."

These words shocked everyone present!

Renegotiating new regulations?

This means completely shaking up the existing power structure and operating system of the Dan Sheng Temple!

Hua Changxi's proposal undoubtedly brought the masters of the various secret realms to the forefront, granting them the right to participate in the formulation of rules.

The secret realm masters, including Mu Qingying, Yuan Tianchou, and Yan Qianying, were extremely excited, their eyes sparkling with brilliance.

This was an opportunity they never dared to dream of!
The masters of the secret realms were excited, but the successors of the holy land, including Wen Shouren, all looked at Hua Changxi with a deep gaze.

Good grief, they've directly denied their existence.

Yes, of the three major power groups in the Dan Sheng Temple, Hua Changxi looked down on the lineage of the Holy Land successors the most.

In her view, these people, carrying the banner of 'orthodoxy of the Holy Land,' are unwilling to take on the leading responsibility; they are simply spineless cowards with no sense of duty.
