She could sense that something was amiss.
Even Su Yu, an outsider, felt that something was amiss. The Alliance Master was being treated with such disrespect.
The shopkeeper smiled, his expression unchanged. "This is Hall Master Fang's will, I cannot change it!"
Bai Xue glanced at Su Yu, hesitating for a moment before saying, "Lead the way!"
If she were to go now, her dignity as the Alliance Master would be shattered. But she had promised Su Yu that she would help him obtain the Heavenly Law Prison mission.
Right now, she could only grit her teeth and go!
With the shopkeeper leading the way, Bai Xue, Su Yu, and Sheng Ge entered the back hall.
"Wait! You two stay outside. "The shopkeeper looked at Su Yu and Sheng Ge coldly.
"They are my friends!" Bai Xue said indifferently.
It was not a problem for the Alliance Master to bring her friends into the back hall of the Hall of Mission.
But the shopkeeper interfered. "Alliance Master, the Hall of Mission is an important organization of the Heavenly Law Alliance, how can an outsider enter?"
A mere shopkeeper dared to argue with the Alliance Master, and even lectured her.
Even if Su Yu was a fool, he would still be able to see where the problem lay.
Sheng Ge frowned. "Bai Xue, don't force yourself."
Su Yu nodded. "You can come back later."
Bai Xue's priority was to clarify the situation. Even if she had no real authority as the Alliance Master, and was only a decoration, it was not something anyone could take advantage of.
But Bai Xue had already lost all her face, how could she lower her head?
"Wait outside, I'll be right back."
Her face was ashen as she entered the back hall.
Passing through the layers of restrictions, in the garden at the center of the back hall, a man in a loose robe with a long beard and crystalline eyes was feeding the fishes in the pond.
"Fang Yuan!" Bai Xue walked over with a cold expression, the ground trembling as she walked.
The fishes in the pond could feel Wu Xin's killing intent, jumping and causing ripples in the pond!
The person with crystalline eyes was the Hall Master of the Hall of Mission.
He pressed down with his palm, causing the fishes in the pond to calm down. When he turned around, he smiled like a spring breeze. "What made our Alliance Master so angry?"
Bai Xue's expression was cold, "What do you think?"
Fang Yuan laughed, his eyes narrowed into a slit: "Hehe, I don't know."
Bai Xue stared at him. "Do you still have me in your eyes?"
The last time he had left the Heavenly Dao Union, everything had been fine. But now that he had returned, the entire Mission Hall's attitude had undergone a drastic change.
"Of course." Fang Yuan opened his eyes, his crystalline pupils reflecting Bai Xue's shadow: "Do you see it? Bai Xue is the alliance leader in my heart! "
Bai Xue looked at him deeply and didn't want to waste time talking to him.
The most important thing now was to obtain Su Yu's mission. As for settling the score, it would not be too late to do so in the future.
"Give me a Heavenly Law Prison mission card," Bai Xue said.
Every mission in the Heavenly Dao Union required one to obtain a corresponding mission card.
Fang Yuan leisurely placed Jia Neng's hands behind his back, saying leisurely: "Oh Bai Xue, you just returned to Heaven Dao Alliance and you came straight to my place?"
Bai Xue had a bad feeling, "Yes, so what?"
The smile on Fang Yuan's face had already disappeared, he said calmly: "Then, no one should have told you that the elders have already made a decision."
Decision?
Bai Xue's heart shook, the bad feeling growing: "What decision?"
Fang Yuan did not say a word, taking out a fish scale and throwing it to Bai Xue: "See for yourself."
Bai Xue grabbed it, his expression changing drastically: "Why did the elders suddenly make such a decision?"
Fish scales were a decree issued by the Elder Council, it was the collective decision of the elders.
The content was to temporarily freeze Alliance Leader Bai Xue's authority, until a new alliance leader is elected.
In a sense, Bai Xue only had the title of alliance leader, and lost the little authority he had.
"Do you understand?" Fang Yuan lightly sighed, but that sigh was not out of pity, but rather gloating: "Back when you were the alliance leader, I was against it."
"Now, the Elder Council has finally made a wise decision."
One of Fang Yuan's juniors was once a strong contender for the alliance leader position, but lost to Bai Xue.
Regarding this, he had always been unhappy.
Now that Bai Xue had finally lost the alliance leader position, the imbalance in his heart was finally released.
Bai Xue gripped the scale tightly, but because she used too much strength, she was cut by the sharp edge of the scale: "Until a new alliance leader is elected?"
Her heart felt like it was bleeding. For so many years, as the alliance leader of the Heavenly Law Alliance, she had worked hard for the Heavenly Law Alliance, risking her life many times.
The last time she chased after the Ninth Realm, she almost died, thankfully Su Yu was there and saved her life.
All of this was erased out of thin air?
"Give me the mission token." Bai Xue suppressed the waves in her heart, saying calmly.
Fang Yuan laughed: "Then what identity will you be using?"
The scale clearly stated that all of Bai Xue's authority had been frozen.
Bai Xue looked at him deeply, saying: "I remember, before I became the alliance leader, you were just a shopkeeper who was ostracized, right?"
It was Bai Xue who saw him in a new light, promoting him to the mission hall master.
This was also why Bai Xue was so confident that she could get him the Heavenly Law Prison mission.
But she did not expect that when her position fell, the first person to turn against her was not her competitor, but the subordinate she had promoted in the past.
Fang Yuan hid his hands in his sleeves, his face showing no gratitude, instead he said proudly: "Apologies, I relied on my own abilities, climbing up step by step. Even without your promotion, I would still be here today."
"Shameless!" Bai Xue only spat out two words.
Back then, Fang Yuan was so poor that he could not even stay in the mission hall, how could he have any abilities?
But what use was the word shameless to Fang Yuan?
He could turn against her immediately, he had no sense of shame, it was impossible to expect him to be grateful.
"Alright, I will use my identity as a normal person to request you to give me a Heavenly Law Prison mission token!" Bai Xue bit her lips, resisting the urge to cry.
No one knew how sorrowful her heart was at this moment.
"Oh? Alliance leader doesn't seem to know how to ask for help. "Fang Yuan laughed mockingly.
Bai Xue secretly clenched her fists. She had already lowered her voice, what else did he want, did he want her to kneel and beg?
"Alright, seeing that we have interacted before, I'll give you a mission token." Fang Yuan looked at the humiliated Bai Xue, knowing when to stop.
No matter what, Bai Xue still had some power behind her, even though it had almost fallen …
"Here." Fang Yuan took out a token.
Bai Xue reached out to receive it, but just as she was about to receive it, Fang Yuan's fingers loosened, the token falling to the ground: "Oh, sorry, I dropped it, pick it up yourself!"
Bai Xue clenched her fists even tighter. Had she offended Fang Yuan? Did he have to taunt her like this?
Holding back the tears in her eyes, Bai Xue squatted down in humiliation, picking up the mission token and leaving the back hall without looking back.
Fang Yuan's expression of relief was the reply to her back.
Bai Xue wiped her tears, walking outside and saying: "I got the mission token."
Su Yu did not take it, instead asking: "Did I make things difficult for you?"
Bai Xue rolled her eyes, snorting: "Who am I? Who can make things difficult for me? Take it! "
She did not say anything, stuffing the token into Su Yu's hands: "You got the mission token, hurry up and go. If you need any help, you can find me anytime."
