Following Yin Botong's words, everyone present turned to look at Chu Xiu.
In all these years, although there had been infighting in the Guanzhong Torture Room, Chu Xiu was the one who had gone overboard.
The other Guanzhong Torture Room's infighting had been done in secret. Although there had been casualties, they had at least kept up appearances.
But what about Chu Xiu? However, he had openly crippled eight Guannan cultivators in front of everyone. His attitude could be said to be extremely arrogant.
Guan Siyu didn't get angry. He just looked at Chu Xiu and said in a deep voice, "Chu Xiu, what do you have to say?"
Chu Xiu knocked on the table, sighing with each knock. He said in an indignant tone, "Yin Botong, your words really make one's heart turn cold!
If I, Chu Xiu, had any other intentions, would I still be sitting here?
Yin Botong, do you know that the most favored Thirteenth Prince Xiang Chong of the Northern Yan Emperor had personally tried to recruit me and promised me an important position in the court?
Yin Botong, do you know that the Second Prince Lv Longguang of Eastern Qi, who was even more powerful than the Crown Prince, had promised me to join his army?
Yin Botong, do you know that in West Chu, the World Alliance's Chenqing Di looked favorably upon me? His direct disciple Xie Xiao Lou and I were good friends?
Eastern Qi, Northern Yan, West Chu, with my current strength and reputation, where can I not go in this big world?
The reason I stayed in the Guanzhong Torture Room is because I, Chu Xiu, know what kindness is!
In the past, when I was at my lowest, it was the Guanzhong Torture Room that took me in. Although I have a bit of reputation now, I don't want to abandon Guanzhong Torture Room.
In the end, you're here spouting nonsense and pestering endlessly for the sake of forcing me to leave. Yin Botong, what sort of intentions do you have? "
Chu Xiu's words were full of self-righteousness, as if he had been greatly wronged.
However, in the end, he didn't say why he had crippled the eight Guannan cultivators.
Yin Botong snorted coldly and said, "Chu Xiu, don't try to change the subject here! How do you want to settle the matter of you crippling my eight subordinates? "
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "How? Yin Botong, where were they crippled? In my Guanxi region! Don't you know why a cultivator from your Guannan land came to my Guanxi land? "
Just as Yin Botong was about to say something, Chu Xiu interrupted, "Yin Botong, you don't have to say any more excuses. I don't want to hear them. I crippled eight of your subordinates, but so what? I'm the Guanxi Disciplinary Officer. In terms of status, I'm above them. These eight people didn't respect my superiors. In the long run, the Guanzhong torture room's discipline is bound to be lax. I crippled them now in order to reorganize the Guanzhong torture room's discipline. Isn't that fine? "
Chu Xiu was clearly twisting words and forcing logic. Yin Botong secretly looked at Guan Siyu, but she was still expressionless and did not make a sound.
Seeing this, Yin Botong also got a little anxious and secretly signaled to Fang Sha with his eyes.
He did not plan on letting Fang Sha make a move on Chu Xiu. But in this sort of situation, Fang Sha stood on his side and spoke for him. That should be fine, right?
Fang Sha coughed when he heard that and said in a hoarse voice, "Chu Xiu, even if we want to reorganize discipline, it's not your turn to make a move. You're the Guanxi Disciplinary Officer, but you came to deal with Guannan people. If this isn't overstepping your bounds, what is?"
Chu Xiu retorted with a question. "Then what should I do?"
Fang Sha said, "Naturally report it to the main hall."
Chu Xiu sneered and said, "What a joke! I, a dignified Guanxi Disciplinary Officer, actually have to report it to the main hall to deal with a few low-level minor characters. Where's the dignity of a disciplinary officer? Moreover, if we're talking about overstepping your bounds, the one who really overstepped your bounds should be Lord Fang. Lord Fang, you should know what the Criminal Division does. Why are you here now? "
Fang Sha's eyes revealed a cold glint. Compared to arguing, he was still more willing to take action.
Right then, Guan Siyu suddenly said in a deep voice, "Alright, all of you shut up!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately fell silent.
Guan Siyu looked at Yin Botong and said in a deep voice, "Yin Botong, is your Guannan too idle? You even ran to the Guanxi area to investigate? In the future, it's best that you don't meddle in things that don't belong to you! "
Yin Botong looked at Guan Siyu in astonishment. He didn't understand why he would suddenly be reprimanded by Guan Siyu.
Chu Xiu sneered inwardly. Yin Botong had too many schemes, but he just didn't understand the most critical point.
Since he looked for Fang Sha and asked Fang Sha to speak up for him, it meant that Yin Botong was no longer on Guan Siyu's side. It could be said that he had completely offended Guan Siyu.
Yin Botong wanted to retort, but he wasn't completely muddle-headed. In the end, he forcefully swallowed his retort.
Meanwhile, Guan Siyu turned her gaze to Chu Xiu and snorted coldly. "Also, Chu Xiu, you've caused too much trouble outside recently. Do you still think you're outside after returning to the Guanzhong torture room? You'd better stay in the Guanxi area and reflect on your actions. You're not allowed to take a step out of the Guanxi area! "
After speaking, Guan Siyu waved her hand and said, "Alright, this matter ends here. You're dismissed."
Everyone present had a strange look on their faces. Only Yin Botong's expression was somewhat ugly.
Even an idiot could tell that Guan Siyu was actually protecting Chu Xiu this time.
It was obvious that Chu Xiu had crippled someone, but Yin Botong had been reprimanded.
Although Chu Xiu had also been punished to reflect on his actions, this was nothing to Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu had just stepped into the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm. At this time, he needed to go into seclusion to sort out his strength and build a solid foundation. The so-called reflection could be considered seclusion. Anyway, Chu Xiu didn't plan on going out again.
After everyone left, Chu Xiu hadn't left the main hall. At this time, Yuchi suddenly walked out and said in a low voice, "Official Chu, Master wants you to go over."
Chu Xiu nodded in understanding and followed Yuchi to Guan Siyu's study.
At the moment, Guan Siyu's face was expressionless. It was as if she hadn't been the one reprimanding Yin Botong and Chu Xiu.
As she looked at Chu Xiu, Guan Siyu suddenly sighed and said, "Do you understand what happened before?"
Guan Siyu's words were somewhat unclear, but Chu Xiu nodded and said, "I understand. It seems that in the entire Criminal Division, besides Third Leader Si Ming, the other two leaders don't seem to respect you, Hall Master."
Guan Siyu sighed again and said, "Ever since I took over the position of Hall Master, I've been trembling with fear and trepidation. In the end, I developed the Guanzhong Torture Room to this stage. Unfortunately, to some people, I'm actually very lucky to be in this position."
In the past, when Guan Siyu took over the Guanzhong Torture Room, it couldn't be said that he was lucky. It could only be said that Chu Kuangge had a good eye for talent.
However, at that time, Guan Siyu didn't have the greatest authority in the Guanzhong Torture Room, but Chu Kuangge chose Guan Siyu to become Hall Master. This was very puzzling.
However, in the end, Guan Siyu succeeded and successfully developed the Guanzhong Torture Room to this stage. This puzzling turned into recognition.
Unfortunately, in the Guanzhong Torture Room, there were still people who didn't recognize Guan Siyu. Not to mention these people's strength, just based on qualifications, they weren't inferior to Guan Siyu's.
Chu Xiu said in a low voice, "In order for the Guanzhong Torture Room to reach its current scale, besides Chu Juxia's good foundation, it also couldn't do without Hall Master's help. Some people just don't know how to appreciate favors. They need to be taught a lesson from time to time. "
Guan Siyu narrowed his eyes and said, "I've already taught them a lesson. There's no need for a second time.
Chu Xiu, you went from being a wanted person to becoming the Guanxi Torture Room's current Guanxi Torture Room. The Guanzhong Torture Room can give you many things. I just hope that you won't betray the Torture Room.
This is the lightest punishment I can give you. If you do it again, you'll be punished severely. "
After hearing this, Chu Xiu lowered his head and walked out.
Guan Siyu had just said that some people needed to be taught a lesson, but in the blink of an eye, Chu Xiu was taught a lesson.
In fact, Chu Xiu's behavior this time was somewhat against the rules. He relied on sophistry. Guan Siyu could stand on his side completely because Yin Botong was muddle-headed and actually joined forces with the people from the Criminal Investigation Division.
After leaving Guan Siyu's place, Chu Xiu planned to directly return to Guanxi. He did not expect Mei Qinglian to walk out from the small path with a smile on her beautiful face. "You came to the main hall once, yet you don't plan on coming to see me? Chu Xiu, you really have no conscience. "
Chu Xiu said with a bitter smile, "Madam, if I came to see you, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate. I just came out of Hall Master Guan's place."
Mei Qinglian waved her hand and said, "Come with me. Don't worry. Guan Siyu is very worried right now, so she doesn't have time to care about you."
Hearing Mei Qinglian say this, Chu Xiu directly followed Mei Qinglian to her room.
After closing the door, Mei Qinglian chuckled and said, "You've made quite a name for yourself in West Chu this time. You even killed a martial arts grandmaster."
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Madam Saintess, you don't have to make fun of me. You know my strength. The martial arts master I killed was only a weak rogue cultivator, and I had to use some tricks to kill him. If I encounter a real martial arts master, I can only choose to escape. "
Mei Qinglian waved her hand and said, "You don't have to be overly modest. With your current strength, you can already stand shoulder to shoulder with Zong Xuan and Zhang Chengzhen.
My Yinmo bloodline is lucky to have you among the younger generation. Otherwise, no one would be able to compete with Zong Xuan and Zhang Chengzhen.
That little girl from the Moon Worshipping Cult is very mysterious. Moreover, she is from the Bright Demon bloodline, so she can't represent my Yinmo bloodline. "
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "That's right, Madam Saintess, Guan Siyu still can't completely control the Guanzhong Torture Room. Is it because of those people from the Criminal Division?"
Mei Qinglian snorted and said, "What else do you think? I can deal with Guan Siyu, but I can't deal with others. If it weren't for those annoying guys, the Guanzhong Torture Room would have become a secret branch of my Yinmo bloodline. Would I still need to be so careful? "
