The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 422, Questioning

The Pill Saint Hall is governed by the masters of various secret realms.

Hua Changxi really dares to speak her mind!
Huo Yunxiao didn't know what expression to make. At this moment, he only had one thought: his master had underestimated Hua Changxi. This was not a stone thrown into stagnant water to stir up ripples, but clearly a meteorite from outer space!
They don't care about small waves and minor troubles, but Hua Changxi has stirred up a tsunami of towering waves!
Meng Qingyao, Shen Qianfan, and Tong Zhou, who were seated in the main seats, were also taken aback by Hua Changxi's suggestion.

Currently, the Dan Sheng Hall is jointly managed by the Lingjing Pavilion, Qihuang Pavilion, and Jiujie Hall. However, according to Hua Changxi's suggestion, in the future, Qihuang Pavilion and Jiujie Hall will have to take a backseat, with the Lingjing Pavilion taking precedence.

The Spirit Realm Pavilion is no longer under the control of the Xia family; it has become the domain of the various secret realm masters.

What mayfly can shake a tree?
Hua Changxi wasn't trying to shake the tree; she was clearly trying to uproot it!
At that moment, all three of them felt regret.

Hua Changxi shouldn't have been allowed to attend the meeting!

Originally, they wanted to take this opportunity to verify the veracity of the rumor that "Hua Changxi is the Lord of Lingguang Palace".

Who would have thought that before the test even began, Xia Zhen was forced to leave the council hall by Hua Changxi, and now she has thrown out such a bombshell proposal, putting everyone in a difficult position.

The master of the secret realm, who is in charge of the secret realm, is already somewhat disobedient. After Hua Changxi's outburst, he will probably be even less likely to cooperate with the Holy Land's orders in the future.

“Before, I thought the rumors that ‘Hua Changxi is the Lord of Lingguang Palace’ were somewhat disadvantageous to Hua Changxi. But now, I realize that if Hua Changxi is a little smarter, he might be able to use this to his advantage and gain a lot of benefits.”

Tang Yufeng whispered to Gu Jinfan.

Gu Jinfan's eyes flashed, and following his gaze, he looked at the main seat—Meng Qingyao and the other two had tense expressions, their eyes filled with anger, but none of them showed any anger, and their brows and eyes revealed a hint of fear.

"You're quite observant."

Tang Yufeng chuckled: "Hua Changxi wants to remove them from the stage, yet they remain so calm. Why do you think that is?"

Before Gu Jinfan could say anything, he said impatiently, "They must be worried about the fact that 'Hua Changxi might be the Lord of Lingguang Palace'."

“If Hua Changxi were just a minor peak master, let alone the Xia family, even the royal family would stand up and teach her a lesson.”

Gu Jinfan remained noncommittal after hearing this.

Tang Yufeng stroked his chin: "Do you think Hua Changxi's arrogance today is also because the outside world can't verify whether she is the Palace Master of Lingguang Palace, and she's deliberately using this as an excuse to intimidate others?"

Gu Jinfan said calmly, "Hua Changxi has always been arrogant, it's not like she just started today."

Tang Yufeng shook his head: "No, there are still some differences. When I saw Hua Changxi again this time, I found that she was more confident."

"Did you notice the disdainful look in her eyes as she surveyed everyone?"

"They really don't respect anyone present!"

Gu Jinfan moved his lips, but in the end he said nothing.

Tang Yufeng continued, "Do you think Hua Changxi's proposal will succeed?"

Gu Jinfan glanced around at the other secret realm masters present: "It depends on whether the other secret realm masters can handle it."

Those present had all risen to their positions by attaching themselves to Lingjing Pavilion, Qihuang Pavilion, and Jiujie Hall. Now, to overthrow the three-party co-governance and let the Secret Realm Lords take charge of the Holy Land's affairs is actually not in the interests of the vast majority of people.

Therefore, although Hua Changxi's proposal caused a great stir in everyone's hearts, it did not spark heated discussions.

"Cough cough~"

This time, the meeting was chaired by Jiujietang. Seeing that Meng Qingyao and Shen Qianfan remained silent, Tong Zhou had no choice but to step forward and speak: "We are aware of Peak Master Hua's proposal."

"Anyone else have something to say?"

The crowd whispered amongst themselves, but no one voiced their opinion.

Seeing that no one spoke up, Tong Zhou looked at Wen Shouren and saw that he also seemed hesitant, so he could only follow his own ideas.

He was not in favor of letting the master of the secret realm take charge directly.

There's no other reason than that the Holy Land is rife with factions and complex relationships. Although the Secret Realm Masters control resources and have some influence, the rise of the Secret Realm Masters creates a new power structure, which inevitably leads to a struggle between the old and new forces.

This situation is certainly not conducive to the development of the Holy Land and could easily lead to unrest.

“I know that Peak Master Hua, as well as the other secret realm masters who raised objections today, are all people who care about the Holy Land.” “But the issues of participation qualifications and task assignments are indeed too big and need to be discussed in detail.”

"I propose that once the matter of seeking medical treatment at Lingguang Palace is resolved, a temporary council should be immediately established, with the participation of the Secret Realm Master, the Pavilion Master, and key personnel from the three departments, to specifically discuss the issues of eligibility for participation and task assignment."

"At that time, a draft will be prepared on these two issues and publicized in the Holy Land to solicit opinions from all disciples."

"What do you think?"

Hua Changxi glanced at Tong Zhou, snorted, and remained silent. She had already rushed to the front and become the most wicked person. As for other matters, if she was still required to handle them, then the mess at the Pill Saint Hall should just continue to rot.

Huo Yunxiao spoke first: "I don't think it's very good. We've already discussed this much, and we still have to wait for the next time. Hall Master Tong, I think you're deliberately stalling." After saying that, he looked at the other secret realm masters, signaling them to quickly express their opinions.

Yan Qianying of Xuanhuang Peak was the first to respond: "I think Peak Master Hua's suggestion makes a lot of sense."

Next came Mu Qingying, Yuan Tianchou, and Wen Lanzhou: "We also agree with Peak Master Hua's proposal."

The people from the four royal mansions of the east, west, south, and north exchanged glances and then expressed their opinions: "We are all willing to contribute to the development of the Dan Sheng Temple."

All eight of the eighteen secret realms' masters agreed to the proposal.

The remaining members, including Gu Xing, Meng Qingyao, Shen Qianfan, and members of the five major guardian families of Xia, Bai, Wu, Zhu, and Long, did not express their opinions.

Just as Tong Zhou was about to end the topic by saying that the number of people who agreed with the secret realm was less than half, he saw Gu Xing, who was leaning on a cane, walk into the council hall.

Gu Xing's arrival cheered everyone present up.

Meng Qingyao and Shen Qianfan, who were seated in the main seats, both felt their hearts sink at the same time.

Gu Xing stood at the door for a moment, looked around at the people in the hall, and then walked straight to the seat below Wen Shouren, which was the seat where Xia Zhen had been sitting.

Just as he was about to sit down, Wen Shouren stood up and said, "Old Gu, you sit here with me."

Gu Xing glanced at him, then at Hua Changxi across from him, and without refusing, sat down in the first seat on the right, then went straight to the point: "I agree with Peak Master Hua's suggestion."

"However, the master of the secret realm must have specific rules to govern the holy land."

"Since the proposal was put forward by Peak Master Hua, why doesn't Peak Master Hua also tell everyone the specific rules?"

Hua Changxi glared at Gu Xing, speechless: "Senior Gu, Gatekeeper Gu, are you here to cause trouble?"

"It's not enough that I've given suggestions; I also need to come up with specific regulations. Does this mean the entire Holy Land belongs to me alone? Are the others just freeloaders?"

"If I do everything, why should I be a peak master? I might as well just be the hall master of the Pill Saint Hall!"

After listening, Gu Xing nodded seriously: "If you want to be one, you can, as long as you can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Holy Land."

Hua Changxi was so angry she laughed. If it weren't for his age, she would have cursed him out: "I can't be bothered with you."

Gu Xing looked at Hua Changxi: "Alright, let's put the specific arrangements aside for now. After the Secret Realm Master takes over the Holy Land, what will be the arrangements for Qihuang Pavilion and Jiujie Hall?"

Hua Changxi was speechless: "Stop staring at me like that. Look at the other secret realm masters and pavilion masters. Do you look down on them?"

“Let me tell you, your thinking is very wrong. The Holy Land belongs to everyone, not just one person or one group. Everyone has to participate.”

The innocent dungeon masters and pavilion owners who were caught in the crossfire: "."

Gu Xingzhen glanced at the various secret realm masters and pavilion masters, but quickly turned his gaze back to Hua Changxi: "Because you were the one who proposed it, that's why I'm asking you."

"Without any follow-up plans, and without any consideration for the arrangements for Jiujietang and Qihuangge, is your proposal just a spur-of-the-moment decision?"

"Your whim has changed the entire Holy Land. Do you know how irresponsible you are to do this?"

Hua Changxi was speechless: "You're making a huge accusation. With your way of thinking, I won't dare to make any suggestions in the future."

Gu Xing's expression remained calm: "When you make a proposal, you should be prepared to be questioned and rejected."
