Ever since the succession ceremony, Vice President Tong Yun Shu had not returned to the guild.
The matters that should have been Tong Yun Shu's responsibility could only be put aside for the time being because she had not appeared.
"President, I know that Vice President Tong is very close to Miss Xiao, but she can't ignore the matters of the Sacred Assembly just because of this, right?"
"That's right, Miss Xiao used to be the Holy Maiden, so we can understand why Vice President Tong would follow her around. But now, the real Holy Maiden is Miss Baili, and Vice President Tong still has such an attitude. I don't think it's appropriate."
The two deacons had annoyance and helplessness on their faces, obviously very dissatisfied with Tong Yun Shu's absence.
Hearing their words, Lu Hongwei frowned slightly, "Since you know that Vice President Tong is very close to Sewu, and now that Sewu has suffered such a big blow, it's normal for her to be concerned."
"But President, other than this, I have something else to report to you."
"What is it?"
"All these years, Vice President has been suppressing us, controlling us to give up our positions to Xiao Clan.
If we don't agree, they will humiliate us in every possible way. Previously, they forced Deacon Shi to take on a title and drove him out. If it wasn't for Deacon Xiao's mistake, Deacon Shi wouldn't have returned. "
"Not only him, the other deacons were in the same situation, but they were not as lucky as Deacon Shi, so they did not have the chance to return."
"To be honest, if not for the President's return, we would have left when Deacon Shi was driven out.
Even if we did not leave, in the end, we would be slandered and forced to leave. It's better to leave cleanly, at least we can preserve our reputation. "
Following the first deacon's words, the other deacons also voiced out their thoughts one after another.
All these years, they had been too aggrieved.
The President was not in the Sacred Assembly all year round, so the Vice President had the power to control the Sacred Assembly. Coupled with the Xiao Clan's excessive actions, they did not even have the power to resist.
Now that everyone kicks a man who is down, they did not have to care about the Xiao Clan's power.
Lu Hongwei, who didn't take it to heart at first, suddenly became serious after hearing this. His gaze finally landed on Shi Hongchao.
"Deacon Shi, is what they said true?"
Facing Lu Hongwei's sharp gaze that seemed to be able to pierce through one's heart, Shi Hongchao was extremely calm, revealing a trace of sadness and lamentation.
"Guild Leader, what happened back then is already in the past.
However, I was indeed humiliated by them in every possible way. I was forced to give them a title and stripped of my status as a deacon.
This time, if it weren't for your return, I wouldn't have come back either. "
Shi Hongchao's voice was very flat. There was no indignation, only sadness and helplessness, as if he was disappointed in something he had always believed in. That kind of disappointment spread from the bottom of his heart.
There was no anger in it, but there was a sadness in it.
Compared to everyone's angry words, Shi Hongchao's words shocked Lu Hongwei even more.
Even though he had seen Tong Yunshu's protection the last time, he had never thought that things would be this serious.
"I've been back before. Why haven't you guys ever mentioned it?" Lu Hongwei asked.
