Letting Xiao Chen manage the Punishment Hall and all the punishments in the First Sacred Palace was something that Chen Yu had thought about a long time ago. Therefore, he said it directly.
Managing the Punishment Hall was definitely the dream of countless disciples of the Ancient Sacred Sect. Not to mention managing the Punishment Hall, even being selected as a member of the Punishment Hall was something that the disciples of the Ancient Sacred Sect were incomparably excited about.
Within the four Sacred Palaces, apart from the First Sacred Palace which had a weirdo like Chen Yu, the Punishment Halls of the other three Sacred Palaces were firmly in the hands of the Holy Sons. From this, one could see how important and powerful the Punishment Hall was.
Countless people coveted such a powerful position, but to Xiao Chen, it didn't hold much attraction. In fact, it couldn't even compare to a Marrow Cleansing Saint Pill.
Xiao Chen's goal wasn't to be the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall. Xiao Chen was thinking about how to become a Holy Son as soon as possible, how to return to Gu Lingyao as soon as possible, and how to improve his strength as soon as possible. Therefore, Xiao Chen wasn't keen on these things.
It was precisely because he was not keen on it that Xiao Chen rejected Chen Yu's offer without hesitation. "Senior Brother, you think too highly of me. I've only just joined the Ancient Saint Sect. How can I master the punishment of a palace? Moreover, I'm not interested in it. Senior Brother, you should know that, so …"
Xiao Chen didn't beat around the bush when speaking to Chen Yu. Chen Yu wasn't surprised to hear this as he had already thought about it. However, it was impossible for Xiao Chen to reject because this was something that Chen Yu had already thought about. How could he let Xiao Chen reject it?
Immediately, Chen Yu looked at Xiao Chen with a pleading expression and said in a sincere tone. "Junior Brother, Senior Brother knows that this is where you stop. However, the situation in the First Sacred Palace can't be delayed any longer. That Du Yi is getting more and more out of hand. Sometimes, he even goes against my orders. So, can you help Senior Brother out?"
"Furthermore, being in charge of the Disciplinary Hall doesn't necessarily mean that you have to do everything by yourself. It might be a little tiring in the beginning, but once everything is back to normal, Junior Brother can completely instruct the subordinates to do it. Thus, it won't take up too much of Junior Brother's cultivation time."
"Also, I won't mistreat you. In the future, you can use the eight great cultivation grounds of the First Sacred Palace. What do you think?"
Xiao Chen was a little confused by Chen Yu's series of words. However, Xiao Chen did not know that Chen Yu had already thought of these words. He had even rehearsed them many times. Therefore, when he said it now, it could be said that he was sincere and could not help but be influenced by it.
Xiao Chen vaguely felt that something was amiss, but he didn't think too much about it. He just asked from the bottom of his heart, "Since Du Yi is like this, Senior Brother can take back his authority. In any case, Senior Brother is the Holy Son. Could it be that he can go against the heavens?"
Xiao Chen's words hit the nail on the head and pointed out the crux of the problem with one sentence.
Just now, Chen Yu had spoken in such a touching manner, but in Xiao Chen's opinion, these things were not a problem at all. Chen Yu was the Holy Son and could take back the authority in Du Yi's hands with one sentence. There was no need to go through so much trouble.
Xiao Chen was not wrong, but he did not know that the reason Chen Yu did not do so was entirely because he was afraid of trouble.
This was because once Chen Yu took back the authority in Du Yi's hands, it meant that Chen Yu would have to personally go into battle and manage all the affairs of the First Sacred Palace. This was a matter of life and death for Chen Yu.
Therefore, although Chen Yu had always been dissatisfied with Du Yi's various little tricks, as long as they did not touch his bottom line, Chen Yu pretended not to see them.
Originally, everything could have gone on like this, but Xiao Chen's arrival gave Chen Yu a new idea.
Between Xiao Chen and Du Yi, Chen Yu naturally trusted Xiao Chen more and was more optimistic about Xiao Chen. Therefore, Chen Yu planned to hand over all the authority in Du Yi's hands to Xiao Chen and let Xiao Chen replace Du Yi in managing the First Sacred Palace.
However, this kind of handover was bound to arouse Du Yi's dissatisfaction, so Chen Yu could not openly force Du Yi to hand over the authority in his hands. Otherwise, it would only be counterproductive. Moreover, in this way, Xiao Chen would not be able to manage the First Sacred Palace well. After all, Du Yi still had many confidants in the First Sacred Palace over the years.
If he wanted Xiao Chen to replace Du Yi, he could only slowly nibble away at it. He had to give Xiao Chen some time to cultivate a group of confidants that belonged to him. Only then could he slowly take over the authority in Du Yi's hands.
After all, managing a sect was completely different from personal cultivation. It was very difficult for one person to take care of everything. He had to have his own team.
Chen Yu's plan was to secretly support Xiao Chen and let Xiao Chen gradually nibble away at Du Yi's authority until he completely took over.
Chen Yu's plan was perfect, but it could also be said to be a little two-faced. It could even be said that he had tricked Xiao Chen.
After all, these things were originally his responsibility, but he was lazy, so he pushed the responsibility to Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen had unknowingly walked to the opposite side of Du Yi.
In any case, in Chen Yu's opinion, Xiao Chen was the most suitable person to manage the First Sacred Palace.
Under Chen Yu's sincere pleading, Xiao Chen could not find a reason to refuse. He had no choice but to nod and agree.
Seeing Xiao Chen nod, Chen Yu immediately smiled happily. "I told you that Junior Brother would not leave me in the lurch. With Junior Brother's help, Senior Brother can rest assured. If Junior Brother has any trouble in the future, you can come to Senior Brother. Senior Brother will definitely help you."
Chen Yu was overjoyed. Then, the two chatted for a while. It was a pity that Yi Xu did not give Chen Yu a drink. This was a pity.
Xiao Chen stayed at Chen Yu's place until dusk. Only then did he return to his cave residence. Xiao Chen entered the cave residence through the entrance. He was very satisfied with his future residence.
Although it was not as good as Chen Yu's cave residence, it was much better than the place he had lived in before. In the independent space, there were birds chirping and flowers fragrant, streams, lakes, gardens, bamboo forests, and everything else.
He went all the way to the main courtyard, where Xiao Chen lived and cultivated. When he came to the main hall, Xiao Chen saw Elder Hei and Elder Master Bai walking towards him. When the two elders saw Xiao Chen, they bowed at the same time. "Young Master, everything is ready, but we still need to find a few maids. Should I go to the chore hall to choose a few now?"
The chore hall of the Ancient Sacred Sect had special maids. These maids were all trained. However, when he heard Elder Master Bai's words, Xiao Chen shook his head.
"No need, Elder Master Bai, please go to Tianfeng Shengzong. There are four of my maids there. You can just pick them up."
Now that he had settled down in the Ancient Sacred Sect, speaking of maids, Xiao Chen naturally thought of the four women who were still waiting in Tianfeng Shengzong, so he asked Elder Master Bai to pick up the four women in the Ancient Sacred Sect.
