"Vice Pavilion Master, you worry too much. It doesn't matter if the House Master is neglecting me or not. I'm not a narrow-minded person. The problem is that the House Master publicly booked the entire place and refused all guests. According to the rules, this is not allowed. The House Master knowingly broke the rules. Perhaps I will have to report this to the Pavilion Master and ask him to make a decision."
The Buddha Pavilion Master spoke in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. So what if the other party was the Vice Pavilion Master? With such an obvious weakness in his grasp, even the Pavilion Master would have to be modest.
The House Master's face instantly turned pale. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was supported by Wu Hua.
If the Buddha Pavilion Master really used this as an excuse, he could forget about being the House Master. Then, his status, power, and connections would collapse in an instant. This move was too cruel and merciless for him. He couldn't bear it at all.
This wasn't the main point. The main point was that once it was found out, he would face the wall for a hundred years. He was no longer young. If he faced the wall for a hundred years, there would be no place for him in the Jianghu after a hundred years. He would definitely be reduced to a nameless ordinary cultivator.
His face was as white as snow. If it weren't for the Vice Pavilion Master, Wu Hua, and the others sitting here, he would have knelt down and begged the Buddha Pavilion Master.
In his heart, he was already cursing the eighteen generations of the Buddha Pavilion Master's ancestors. What kind of breadth of mind was this? If this wasn't abusing his position to avenge a private grudge, then what was?
As for booking the entire place, although it was explicitly prohibited, everyone knew that this was tacitly agreed and allowed. No one had ever complained about it.
The House Master understood very well that he had only slighted the Buddha Pavilion Master a little. Was there a need to be like this? What he didn't know was that the guests he had refused before included Xiao Yang, Lan Jiaoye, and Gu Qianqian. These three were not ordinary guests, especially Xiao Yang. That was someone the entire Buddha Pavilion wanted to win over.
This was his mistake. He shouldn't have refused Xiao Yang a meal.
"Buddha Pavilion Master, this, this, this, please don't. We can discuss anything."
The house master was truly frightened. He looked worriedly at Pavilion Lord Fo, his brows furrowed tightly. He was so worried that he was about to die.
The Vice Pavilion Master also understood the House Master's fear, and also understood Elder Fo's intentions. Elder Fo was just targeting him. With a dark face, he snorted coldly and glared fiercely at Elder Fo. He said coldly, "Elder Fo, are you really going to do this?"
Once something happened to the house master, they would eventually be implicated. They would also be implicated, and as the main person in charge, the punishment would be even heavier.
This was because the rule of not being able to reserve the entire place was set by the upper echelons of the Buddha Pavilion, including the Vice Pavilion Master. Now that the Vice Pavilion Master had forcefully ordered the House Master to reject all guests, it was a knowing violation of the law, and an even greater crime.
Of course, the house master could also take responsibility for everything. However, if he did so, his punishment would also be doubled. As long as he revealed the truth and revealed the mastermind, his punishment would be reduced.
The Vice Pavilion Master naturally could not watch the House Master be punished without doing anything to the sect. He also did not dare to gamble on the House Master's loyalty.
Elder Fo was not afraid of the Vice Pavilion Master at all. His expression was indifferent and calm. He said calmly, "Vice Pavilion Master, what do you mean by going to extremes? I did everything according to the rules. If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished the same as a commoner. Don't you understand such a simple principle? "
Humph.
The Vice Pavilion Master snorted coldly. His expression darkened and his temperament turned cold.
This Buddha Pavilion Master did not give any face at all. If he pursued the matter to the end, Pavilion Master would not have a good time. He could not help but frown. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Elder Fo. After a long time, he slowly said, "We will leave now and let you enjoy it alone. How about that? You can even state other conditions. "
He was compromising and giving in. There was no other way. They had originally tacitly agreed to the unspoken rules, but Elder Fo had brought it to the surface. They could only admit that they were unlucky.
"Yes, Elder Fo, I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance to correct myself. I won't dare to do it again."
Knowing that the Vice Pavilion Master had given in, the House Master hurriedly begged Elder Fo for mercy. Now that the other party had something on him, he had to wait for the right time to act tough.
Wu Hua, who had been sitting silently all this time, also spoke. He said calmly, "Elder Fo, please give the disciples some face and be an example. Be tolerant, be tolerant."
Several disciples of the Buddha Pavilion beside Wu Hua also begged for mercy.
Humph.
Elder Fo also snorted coldly. Now they knew how to beg for mercy. What were they doing earlier? Weren't they acting tough before?
He was a little proud.
If it were any other time, he would not care about it. But now, he could not. Because this time, the focus was not on him, but on Xiao Yang.
Elder Fo took a deep breath and looked at them disdainfully. He said calmly, "The one you should apologize to is not me, but Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang is a guest invited by the Buddha Pavilion for a meal, but you refused to enter. You almost made me and Xiao Yang enemies. Tell me, how do you want to settle this score?"
Elder Fo was resentful, but seeing the people in front of him begging for mercy and apologizing, he accepted it. They were all from the Buddha Pavilion after all. They were from the same root. There was no need to be so anxious to destroy each other.
However, it was not easy to get past Xiao Yang. He had to fight for Xiao Yang's forgiveness.
"Then, Elder Fo, what do you want to do?"
The Vice Pavilion Master frowned and asked Elder Fo.
He also began to feel conflicted and disgusted. From the beginning, he did not like Xiao Yang. Fortunately, he did not know. If he knew that Xiao Yang was here for a meal, he would definitely humiliate him. How could he let Xiao Yang in so easily?
However, he could not say this out loud. It was obvious that Elder Fo supported Xiao Yang. He wanted to stand up for Xiao Yang. Once he said that he disliked Xiao Yang, he would not be able to deal with the aftermath.
For the sake of Elder Fo, Wuhua had to restrain his dissatisfaction with Xiao Yang. He did not dare to show the slightest emotion, but his heart was full of resentment. He hated Xiao Yang for stealing his limelight and being favored. He also hated the Pavilion Master and Elder Fo for admiring Xiao Yang. Were they blind? He, Wuhua, believed that he was the most talented and had the most aptitude. Sooner or later, he would become the most powerful person in Buddhism.
After thinking for a while, the House Master said, "Elder Fo, it is my fault for refusing Xiao Yang to eat. It is also my negligence. I did not hear the notice from the Buddha Pavilion that Xiao Yang was coming to eat, so it is all my fault. I am willing to apologize to Xiao Yang. I will go and invite Xiao Yang up, okay?"
He had already surrendered to the Vice Pavilion Master. Many things that could be solved by lackeys, he naturally had to do it. Otherwise, what was the use of the Vice Pavilion Master?
