"You want me to read it personally?" Wu Miao was slightly stunned and did not notice the strange expression on his trusted aide's face. She was secretly delighted. Although Okuda was a descendant of a powerful family, he knew how to conduct himself. He knew that Wu Miao had lost face at Tiandan Pavilion yesterday, so he was giving her a chance to get back at him.
However, Wu Miao's expression instantly changed when he opened the document. It was hard to imagine that one person could have so many expressions on his face at the same time. His face was so ugly that it looked like a giant dye vat.
"According to our investigation, the pills from Tiandan Pavilion were not smuggled. They came from outside East Continent through normal channels. With immediate effect, Tiandan Pavilion's reputation will be restored. Executive Vice Island Lord Wu Miao will solemnly apologize for his previous misjudgment."
Wu Miao was speechless for a long time as she read the Island Owner's letter. What happened at the Heavenly Pill Pavilion yesterday already made her feel humiliated, but now, the Island Owner's letter was like a slap to her face. Okuda had specifically asked her to read it at the Heavenly Pill Pavilion. Even if they wanted to slap her, they couldn't be so merciless!
"Isn't he just an acting island lord? How dare he!" Wu Miao cursed after dismissing his trusted aide. Of course, he only dared to curse in private. He did not even dare to voice his complaints in front of his trusted aide, let alone in front of Okuda himself.
Not only did Wu Miao not dare to scold him to his face, but she didn't even have the courage to go to Okuda to argue with him. She was a high-ranking official, and this high-ranking official had a powerful background. What could he do even if he gritted his teeth in anger?
Although Wu Miao did not dare to argue with Okuda, he could not resign himself to his fate. Going to Tiandan Pavilion to read the document was worse than death. There was no way he would do that. After thinking about it, he only had one choice. He went to Medicine Sect to look for Zheng Dongsheng.
"Vice Island Lord Wu, how did it go?" asked Zheng Dongsheng.
Apart from him, Zheng Dongjue, Southern Sky Aurora, and Tong Yangsuo were also present. These people were all jackals of the same tribe. Now that they had banded together because of their own interests, they naturally had to strike while the iron was hot and build up their relationship. They had to take this opportunity to understand each other's background clearly. Otherwise, how could they work together in the future with confidence?
Wu Miao couldn't help blushing. He had confidently said that it would be a small matter, but things had turned out this way. Not only had he been humiliated by Lin Yi in front of everyone, but Okuda had also forced him into a corner. He was too ashamed to face Zheng Dongsheng and the others.
However, he had no other choice. He had to come. If he told the truth, at least everyone could think of a solution. If he just gave up, not only would he lose face, he would also have to complain in front of Zheng Dongsheng and the others. The loss would really be immeasurable. He was still counting on Zheng Dongsheng to help him concoct pills.
"Uh..." Wu Miao hesitated a little in embarrassment. In the end, she bit the bullet and said, "Tiandan Pavilion is unfathomable."
"Unfathomable?" Zheng Dongsheng and the others were stunned. They had sent people to keep an eye on Tiandan Pavilion, so they knew what had happened yesterday. Rather than saying Tiandan Pavilion was unfathomable, it would be more accurate to say that Lin Yi was unfathomable. An early-stage Profound Ascension expert that even Wu Miao couldn't defeat was truly shocking!
"Even with Deputy Island Lord Wu's connections, you can't find an expert who can defeat Lin Yi?" Zheng Dongjue couldn't help but feel a little strange. He looked at Wu Miao meaningfully and said, "Based on what I know, even if the Island Lord Pavilion doesn't alert the Middle Island Elders, they shouldn't be unable to deal with Lin Yi, right?"
Zheng Dongsheng and the others also looked at Lin Yi suspiciously. The current Lin Yi was indeed unstoppable, but it was absolutely impossible to say that even the Island Lord Pavilion was helpless. Even if the official strength of Middle Island wasn't as outstanding as the other Sky Islands, it wasn't weak to this extent.
"Of course the Island Lord Pavilion can deal with Lin Yi. The problem is that the acting island lord must have gone crazy. He was supposed to stand up for me, but after he arrived at Tiandan Pavilion, he asked me to return the pills and said that he would personally investigate the matter. Then, he gave me this today." Wu Miao handed the document to Zheng Dongsheng and the others with a bitter expression.
They looked at each other in dismay. Zheng Dongsheng couldn't help frowning. "Didn't you say that the acting island lord is from a super aristocratic family? He shouldn't have anything to do with Tiandan Pavilion, right? Why is he so biased?"
"I don't know the specifics, but I think he went to see one of Lin Yi's older brothers. After he came back, he didn't say anything. Instead, he gave me this document." Wu Miao smiled helplessly.
"Went to see Lin Yi's older brother? Isn't he clearly biased? "Zheng Dongsheng and the others frowned even more.
"That's right. That's why I have no choice but to discuss this with you and see if you can come up with a proper solution. I can only delay this document for half a day at most. If I can't come up with a solution, I, as the executive vice island lord, will have no choice but to follow orders. If that happens, there will be no turning back." Wu Miao sighed.
In order to maintain their prestige, the Island Master Pavilion's actions were most taboo to change their orders constantly. Once this Island Master's document was announced, it had already been changed once. From then on, it had become a final conclusion. Even if this matter was sealed in the coffin, it could no longer be changed.
Zheng Dongsheng and the others fell silent. They looked at each other in confusion. Although they were all shrewd people, they couldn't think of a solution. At the end of the day, they didn't have any solid evidence to prove that Tiandan Pavilion was smuggling pills. The fact that they didn't have a divine sense imprint could only be used as an inference. If they investigated further, it wouldn't hold water.
After remaining silent for a long time, Zheng Dongsheng finally said, "Tiandan Pavilion is a huge threat to Medicine Sect. It's not a big deal to take a step back, but if they take advantage of this opportunity, they will suffer. The consequences will be unimaginable. We have to kill them this time!"
"But this is Island Lord Okuda's will. Even I can't disobey him …" Wu Miao shook her head helplessly.
"Since the root of the problem lies with Island Lord Okuda, I can only go to the Island Lord Pavilion personally and talk to him," said Zheng Dongsheng in a deep voice.
Although the other party's strength and background left him in the dust, he was still a seventh-grade pill refiner from the East Continent. No matter where he went, he had some status. Even if he went to the Island Lord Pavilion in Middle Island, he would be treated as a VIP.
