"Master Zheng, you're being too polite. Since you summoned us personally, how could we not come?" Wu Miao smiled faintly.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Apart from Zheng Dongsheng, Wu Miao had the highest status among them. Only Zheng Dongjue, who was the person in charge of the Pill Hall, could stand on equal footing with her. As for people like Nantian Aurora and Tong Yangsuo, they could only suck up to her.
Zheng Dongsheng laughed. He was very satisfied with everyone's attitude. "I invited everyone here because Medicine Sect has encountered some difficulties and needs everyone's help to think of a solution."
"I heard it's about Tiandan Pavilion?" Asked Wu Miao. Tong Yangsuo had told her a little about it, but she did not know the specifics.
"That's right. This small Tiandan Pavilion isn't a big deal, so there's no need to mobilize so many people. However, Lin Yi from Tiandan Pavilion has returned. Furthermore, he brought Diao Huanshan and Zhao Youque with him. Now, he even announced that he's selling seventh-grade pills. He's really aggressive," said Zheng Dongsheng with a slight frown.
"Seventh-grade pills?" Everyone was shocked. Seventh-grade pills were extremely rare even in the East Continent, let alone in Middle Island. Even Wu Miao, the managing deputy island master, was eager to get a seventh-grade pill, let alone everyone else.
"Tiandan Pavilion has always been our Medicine Sect's sworn enemy. If they gain power, it will be a huge blow to our Medicine Sect. That's why I implore everyone to help us. Medicine Sect will definitely reward you handsomely!" said Tong Yangsuo sincerely.
"I heard that Tiandan Pavilion is backed by The Will of Heaven. Is that true?" asked Wu Miao.
"That's right. That's true." Tong Yangsuo nodded.
"In that case, I really have to help Medicine Sect. Although The Will of Heaven is my colleague, he's arrogant and despotic. I'm sure Tiandan Pavilion is using his name to commit crimes. Otherwise, how could they have grown so much in just two years? Who would believe that they aren't involved in some shady business?" said Wu Miao gloomily.
"That's right. Deputy Island Master Wu is right!" Tong Yangsuo was elated. In his opinion, Tiandan Pavilion would be doomed as long as Wu Miao agreed to help.
"Deputy Island Master Wu, if you don't mind, feel free to let me know. I'm more than happy to help you deal with Tiandan Pavilion," interjected Nantian Aurora.
"Oh? Deputy Dean Nantian is also interested?" Tong Yangsuo was delighted.
"The Will of Heaven is arrogant and despotic. Deputy Island Master Wu isn't the only one who doesn't get along with him. Don't forget that I fought with him two years ago for the position of Deputy Island Master. Furthermore, I also have a grudge against Tiandan Pavilion's Lin Yi. This time, I can teach him a lesson." Nantian Aurora sneered.
"Very good. It seems like Deputy Dean Nantian is also a kindred spirit. Deputy Island Master Wu, you're in the wrong. Why didn't you introduce such a good friend to us earlier? If he didn't happen to be a guest at your residence, I'm afraid we wouldn't have had the chance to get to know each other. It's a pity we didn't meet sooner." Zheng Dongsheng took the opportunity to win Nantian Aurora's heart.
It was true that Alchemists had a transcendent status, but at the same time, they relied on a wide range of connections to live comfortably. Nantian Aurora was also a number one figure in this Middle Island. This time, they had a common enemy, so their relationship was naturally closer. Being able to sit together and speak the same language, they were ready-made friends.
"Grandmaster Zheng is indeed a person who makes friends. I feel the same way. You're famous in the Alchemy world. I only regret that I never had the chance to meet you. Today, I've finally fulfilled one of my wishes." Nantian Aurora took the opportunity to flatter Zheng Dongsheng.
"How can it be called famous? It's just an undeserved reputation. Deputy Dean Nantian, you flatter me." Zheng Dongsheng laughed and asked, "From what you said just now, could it be that you competed with The Will of Heaven for the position of Deputy Island Master two years ago?"
"Yes, but I had just advanced to the Mysterious Ascension Early-stage at that time. My strength had not yet stabilized, so I failed at the last moment." Nantian Aurora smiled bitterly.
"What about now? Since The Will of Heaven has gone to the East Continent, his position as Deputy Island Master has been vacated, right? " Zheng Dongsheng turned to look at Wu Miao. As the Executive Deputy Island Master, Wu Miao had the most say in this matter.
Nantian Aurora's eyes lit up when he heard this. The reason why he had visited Wu Miao today was because of this matter. If he could get some help from Wu Miao, he might be able to regain the opportunity to compete for the position of Deputy Island Master!
"Master Zheng is right. The Island Master Pavilion must have one Island Master and four Deputy Island Masters. This is a rule that has been passed down since ancient times. No one can make an exception. It would be fine if he only left for a month or two, but this time, The Will of Heaven is going to the distant East Continent. Moreover, it is a dangerous mission to charge into the Mysterious Ascension Realm. Who knows if he can come back alive?" Wu Miao sneered.
He had never been on good terms with The Will of Heaven. Of course, he could not wait for The Will of Heaven to be struck to death by the lightning tribulation. Even if the lightning tribulation did not kill him, given The Will of Heaven's domineering personality, it would be easy for him to stir up trouble in the East Continent, where there were many experts. If he offended a powerful person, it would be hard for The Will of Heaven not to die.
"In other words, the Island Master Pavilion is missing one of the five Island Masters. Does that mean Deputy Dean Nantian has a chance?" Zheng Dongsheng glanced at the restless Nantian Aurora with a smile.
"You can say that. After the Island Master Pavilion's discussion, The Will of Heaven's position as Deputy Island Master is temporarily vacant. If he can rush back to Middle Island in a short time, he will still have a chance. However, if he returns late and the position is taken by someone else, he will have nothing to say. This is a rare opportunity. Deputy Dean Nantian can indeed fight for the position." Wu Miao nodded.
"If I can fight for the position of Deputy Island Master, I will definitely follow Deputy Island Master Wu's lead!" Nantian Aurora hurriedly expressed his loyalty.
As the Executive Deputy Island Master, Wu Miao's authority in this matter was second only to the Island Master. She was the person he needed to win over the most. As long as Wu Miao was willing to agree, coupled with the power behind him, he would have at least a 70% chance of winning!
As for the Island Master, who had more authority, Nantian Aurora had a say in this matter. It was a pity that the Island Master he had tried so hard to befriend happened to be in seclusion. Now, another powerful person was in charge of the Island Master's authority. Nantian Aurora couldn't even meet that powerful person, so he naturally couldn't do anything about it.
Therefore, he placed all his hopes on Wu Miao. He never expected Zheng Dongsheng to support him when they first met. Furthermore, it seemed like Wu Miao was very obedient to Zheng Dongsheng. This was a pleasant surprise!
