She became a god

One of the impatient city lords, Yu Heng, couldn't help but sneer, "Men have exploited and oppressed women for hundreds of thousands of years. The tables have turned, and it's time for us women to take charge!"

"that is!"

The crowd erupted in cheers and applause.

City Lord Qu Xi, who raised the issue, disagreed. She frowned and said, "If we do what men have done, then how are we any different from men?"

"In my view, being a woman is a situation."

"Men in matriarchal societies are just as pitiful as women in patriarchal societies."

Yu Heng retorted sarcastically, "If you think men are pathetic, then go be a man!"

Qu Xi's face turned pale. "How can you be like this? I only argued with you for a few words, and you want to deny my gender and declare me a woman!"

Yu Heng said, "A female thief like you, let's just open it then!"

"When a woman is abused by a man, you don't blame the man who is abusing her!"

"When a woman is betrayed by another woman, you still speak well of the traitors at every turn!"

"Women are in charge now, yet you come here to criticize and berate them. A woman like you who only defends men and traitors, what else is she but a female thief?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a crowd of people in the room shouted, "Qu Xi, the female thief, get out of the Zhao Sect!"

But some people shouted, "Don't be so radical, all you do is argue amongst yourselves. We're all women, don't gang up on Qu Xi!"

"We women need to stay united. Qu Xi just asked a question, why are you all getting so worked up?"

"What's the difference between women like you and men!"

…………

Ye Qingzhou understood that these two groups had probably harbored resentment for a long time.

To put it simply, the most recent example is the disagreement Su Mingzhu had a few months ago regarding how to deal with the traitor.

Seeing that the two groups were about to escalate from words to action, Ye Qingzhou shook the small bell in her hand, and everyone immediately quieted down.

"Mingzhu, you are the leader of the human realm branch. What are your thoughts on this?"

Su Mingzhu said, "The Zhao religion was founded to establish the primary status of women and to help women correctly understand and use their abilities. Therefore, in my opinion, women and men should not be divided based on their circumstances."

"Women in the human world have suffered too much, and we are simply setting things right now. In the process of setting things right, women will inevitably settle accounts with those hatreds."

"Most men are bound to pay the price for their words and actions that hurt women. This is in accordance with the law of cause and effect, and also with the doctrines of the Zhao religion."

"If there are truly men who are worthy of women in both their moral character and personal conduct, our religion will naturally not criticize or hurt them. But unfortunately, such men are too few, rarer than gold."

"In short, in my opinion, the trend of women taking the lead in their families is irreversible, and the blood debts of hundreds of thousands of years must be settled. Otherwise, how can the wronged souls of those unjustly killed female infants, girls, and women find peace?"

"For the sake of the billions of persecuted women, this hatred must never be extinguished, and this resentment must never be absolved!"

After he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted in the room and lasted for a long time before it subsided.

Ye Qingzhou nodded and then asked, "Mingzhu, you just said that women cannot be defined by their circumstances. So what standards do you think should be used to define women?"

Su Mingzhu pondered for a moment before replying, "In my opinion, a woman must be a biological woman. Being born a woman is the most significant class characteristic."

Ye Qingzhou encouraged, "Is there anything else?"

Su Mingzhu said, "This subordinate dares not say any more."

Ye Qingzhou said, "I want you to say that I will bear all the consequences!"

Su Mingzhu said, "Please grant me the power to dismiss the ten city lords."

According to the rules of the Zhao Sect, the appointment and dismissal of each city lord must be proposed by the leader and approved by at least one messenger.

Qu Xi and the others' expressions darkened; there were exactly ten of them, no more and no less.

Ye Qingzhou glanced at the expressions of everyone in the arena and smiled, "As you wish. But if you don't play well, I will punish you."

Su Mingzhu said, "In my opinion, any woman who does not agree that women are the primary sex should be expelled from the list of women."

Ye Qingzhou asked, "Is that all?"

Su Mingzhu said, "In my opinion, any woman who prioritizes the interests of men over the interests of women is a thief!"

Ye Qingzhou asked, "Any other ideas?"

Su Mingzhu replied, "Not at the moment."

Ye Qingzhou said, "Then we'll do as you say for now. You tidy it up and write a memorial, which I will then forward to the two sect leaders and Left Envoy Meng."

Su Mingzhu said, "Thank you, Right Envoy! With you here today, I wish to expel the female thief for the Zhao Sect! Qu Xi, Bei Gong..."

She read out ten names in one breath, "From this day forward, you are no longer the city lords of my Zhao Sect, and will never be registered again!"

“Our religion cannot tolerate followers who grovel before men, fawn over them, and show them endless care, while belittling the suffering of women!”

Qu Xi retorted, "Su Mingzhu, you're just taking advantage of Chief Chen's absence to act as Chief. Today, you deliberately framed us and used your clever words to gain Right Envoy Ye's trust. You're not doing this for Zhao Jiao's sake at all, but to eliminate dissidents and establish your own one-man rule!"

Su Mingzhu smiled faintly, "If you cannot tolerate your words and actions that betray women, then I, Su Mingzhu, am willing to bear this crime!"

Upon hearing this, many believers looked at Su Mingzhu with deep respect.

Ye Qingzhou smiled and said, "I originally intended to announce this decree after the performance review meeting, but it seems I have no choice but to do it earlier."

"Su Mingzhu, listen to my command. With the joint seal of the Eastern and Western Sect Leaders and the Left and Right Envoys, from this day forward you are the rightful leader of the Zhao Sect's Human Realm Branch. Report important matters to your superiors and make your own decisions on minor matters."

Su Mingzhu knelt on one knee, "Su Mingzhu obeys your command and will certainly not fail the trust of the leader and the envoy!"

In the past, Chen Lai's appointment as the leader of the human branch was merely a verbal order, and there was also the Holy Master Ji Cunxi to check and balance him.

Su Mingzhu's appointment decree now has all four seals and such great authority.

Everyone present knew that the situation in Zhaojiao was about to change completely.

Qu Xi and the others looked gaunt, but some still refused to give up and shouted, "I was recommended to join the sect by the Holy Master Ji Cunxi. Does Right Envoy Ye have no desire to save face for the Holy Master?"

Ye Qingzhou smiled faintly. Everyone said that Ji Cunxi was her best friend and that she treated her very well.

But so what?

She has long since lost that memory.

Besides, Ji Cunxi is her friend, not her benefactor.

She was willing to consider Ji Cunxi's feelings; that was a matter of courtesy.

It was only natural that she didn't want to consider Ji Cunxi's feelings.

Ye Qingzhou threw the teacup in his hand, hitting the man half to death. Even if he could be saved, his cultivation would be reduced to less than one-tenth.

"You all just watch, this is the consequence of threatening me. If anyone dares to do it again, I will send you directly across the Nether Sea to the thirty-three levels of hell!"
