Lord Qing was taken aback, "What do you mean?"
Shangguan Qing whispered, "I think I'm done playing. You can do whatever you want with Niu Youde, including the Kou family."
Lord Qing furrowed his brows in thought, remaining silent for a long time...
In the end, Divine Night Palace didn't stoop to Miao Yi's level and agreed to let him recruit non-officials to serve him. The reason was obviously because of the Xiahou family, and Miao Yi knew why they would help him. Things went unexpectedly smoothly even on the Heavenly Court's side. Lord Qing didn't say anything about it, and all the officials in the Heavenly Court kept quiet as well. No one accused Miao Yi of this, not even the slightest bit of noise. Miao Yi was allowed to pass through without any obstruction.
A recruitment notice for the 'Virtuous Gathering Hall' was posted outside the new headquarters. There were many people who took turns to read the notice, but only a few responded. Those who came to ask were just curious about what was going on. No one was willing to get involved in the muddy water of Niu Zong Town.
A month later, Kou Lingxu, who was in the temporary palace, finally asked, "How many people did Juxian Hall recruit?"
Kou Zheng replied, "None so far."
Kou Lingxu couldn't help shaking his head, "How old are you? Why are you still doing such unreliable things?"
Inside the forbidden garden of the Almighty Old Man's Manor, Xiahou Ta asked with interest, "How many people has that Virtuous Assembly Hall recruited in the phantom market?"
Wei Shu smiled, "It's not that no one is interested, but there seems to be no one willing to officially join."
Xiahou Ta chuckled, "We gave him the chance, but he didn't pull anyone out. What is this kid trying to do?"
Wei Shu replied, "I'm afraid we'll have to wait and see."
Ying Jiuguang, in the temporary Ying Heavenly King's Manor, asked, "How is that Virtuous Assembly Hall?"
Zuo'er chuckled, "Without the Kou family's support, they have no money, no power, and no power. What else can they do? It seems like no one wants to join them."
Ying Jiuguang sneered, "Ridiculous!"
In a secluded area of the Hao Family's temporary Heavenly King's Manor, Hao Defang and Su Yun were strolling side by side. As they talked, Hao Defang suddenly grabbed Su Yun's hand. She quickly retracted her hand and cupped her fists, shaking her head bitterly, "Your Highness!"
Hao Defang's face was also full of obscurity. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Finally, he found a topic to talk about, "How many people has the Ghost City's Juxian Hall recruited?"
Su Yun kept her distance from him and replied, "No one has joined yet."
In the Guang Clan's temporary Heavenly King Manor, there was someone else who had always been concerned about Miao Yi. For example, Mei Niang.
When the Duke of He Guang was strolling under the moonlight, Gou Yue came to inform him of some matters. When he was about to leave, he was stopped by Mei Niang, "Butler Gou, how's the recruitment of the Juxian Hall in the Ghost City?"
Gou Yue looked at Guang Ling Gong, and seeing that he did not object, he replied, "No one has joined yet."
Mei Niang asked, "Not even one?"
Gou Yue said hesitantly, "I don't think there's a single one. Even if there are, there wouldn't be many."
"How could this be?" Lady Mei shook her head with a sigh, as though she felt pity for Miao Yi. Naturally, she had also heard from Lord Guang that the Kou family would be retreating from the Phantom City's main town manor in the near future. Even now, Miao Yi still hadn't managed to recruit anyone.
After Gou Yue left, Lord Guang chuckled, "Princess seems to be quite interested in that Niu Youde. Why? Are you still brooding over him not being able to become your son-in-law? "
Lady Mei wanted to deny it, but on second thought, she felt that His Highness had been treating her sincerely in recent years, so there was no need for her to be secretive. She nodded slightly, "Yes and no."
Lord Guang asked with interest, "Why do you say so? This Prince would like to hear it. "
Lady Mei organized her thoughts, and muttered to herself, "Indeed, I feel that it's a pity. I really feel that he and Mei Er are a good match. Most importantly, I can see that Mei 'er has indeed fallen for him. But the other reason is because I feel that Jin Lin is not an ordinary person. That Niu Youde has gone through many trials and tribulations to reach where he is today. How can his future be ruined in the Ghost City? I really hope that he can achieve something great. "
"He has attracted the attention of so many people …" Lord Guang shook his head, "If no one wants him to rise, this Prince can say with certainty that he will never be able to rise again. He will be suppressed there for the rest of his life. There are some things that he cannot resist with his current strength."
Lady Mei frowned and thought, "But why do I feel that he won't end like this? The time is still short, and there is still a long time to come. Maybe there will be a day when he shows off his skills. "
Lord Guang chuckled, "It seems that Princess thinks very highly of him!"
Mei Niang was a little unconvinced as she asked, "Since Your Highness has said so, then this concubine will be bold enough to ask, if you exclude his power and background and only look at his personal ability, dare I ask, among the rookies at his level, who is more outstanding than him? I feel that he is number one among his generation. Is what I said wrong? "She gave him a thumbs up and asked.
Lord Guang thought for a moment and nodded, "If you really want to say it like this, whether it is bravery or influence, he is number one, but so what?"
Lady Mei thought about it and smiled bitterly, "Indeed, there is nothing. Maybe I just want to test my vision on him. After all, I have such expectations for him. I hope I am not wrong."
Lord Guang shook his head, "You! You think too much. "
In the Heavenly Palace, Qing Zhu, who had woken up from his cultivation, flicked his sleeves and stood up. He opened the door and walked out of the Eternal Life Palace alone.
When there was nothing to do, it was normal to deal with official business for a short period of time during cultivation. When he left the courtyard, Shangguan Qing greeted him.
"Is there anything going on recently?" Qing Zhu asked casually as he walked.
Shangguan Qing replied with a smile, "Nothing major. Everything is going smoothly, and all parties are quiet." In fact, after every major event, all forces would lie dormant for a period of time. It was almost a rule. At this time, no one would usually cause trouble.
Qing Zhu suddenly stopped in front of a cluster of white jade-like flowers and sniffed it. Perhaps it was because he thought of her, he asked with some warmth, "How is the situation with the Heavenly Concubine?"
Shangguan Qing, "She is still quiet. Even in her mother's house, she almost never leaves her house and rarely interacts with outsiders."
"Such a quiet temperament that stands aloof from worldly affairs. Why does she have to suffer?" Qing Zhu shakes his head and sighs. He lets go of the flower and continues to move forward. He seems to have thought of something and asks, "How is Niu Youde's Juxian Hall doing at the Ghost City? Has he recruited anyone yet?"
Shangguan Qing couldn't help but laugh, "No one."
Qing Zhu was surprised, "Not even one person recruited?"
Shangguan Qing, "It should be like this. The people who came to watch the fun changed one after another, but no one applied."
Qing Zhu chuckled, "I thought he could come up with some new tricks to surprise me. That's all. Strange people doing strange things!" He waved his hand, "Forget about him. Let's go to the Heavenly Palace and have a look."
The recent commotion in the Ghost City had caused a series of surprises in the world. The reputation of the Ghost City's Headquarter Manor was constantly being discussed by the cultivators in the world.
First, the Headquarter Manor and Ksitigarbha Temple exchanged territories. This was something new and worth discussing. After that, the news spread that Ksitigarbha Temple was tricked by Niu Youde. This made the world laugh again. Heh, there was actually such a thing. After that, another strange thing happened. The Ghost City actually created a 'Juxian Hall', which was posted to invite heroes from all over the world. This caused another round of discussion. Most people didn't know what was going on. They were all wondering what was going on with the Headquarter Manor. Strange things happened every year, but there were many this year. Some people sighed. Why did the Headquarter Manor feel like a blank piece of paper? Niu Youde could do whatever he wanted. Why didn't anyone come out to take care of it? Why did Niu Youde just let him do whatever he wanted?
For those who knew about it, they treated it as a joke, especially those who were unhappy with Miao Yi. A few of the rich and powerful gathered around the table. As they exchanged toasts, some pointed at Niu Youde in disdain. 'Let's see how you, Niu Youde, are going to jump around now!'
As time passed, the news that Niu Youde had been exiled gradually spread. Niu Youde had no future and would spend the rest of his life in the Ghost City's Headquarter Manor.
"Sigh!" In the Guardian Palace, Fu Qing looked up at the sky and sighed. "Going too far is as bad as falling short, Ol 'Five!"
Many people who knew Miao Yi couldn't imagine how Niu Youde, who was in the limelight before, would go downhill with the backing of the Kou family.
"It's been half a year. Why hasn't there been a single candidate?"
In the new Headquarter Manor, Miao Yi, who had been cultivating in seclusion for a while, came out to take a look. What was the situation? He immediately summoned Yang Zhaoqing and Xu Tangran to ask about the situation. They were very dissatisfied with the progress.
"Everyone doesn't seem to approve of this semi-official method …" Yang Zhaoqing gave a few reasons.
Xu Tangran laughed dryly at the side. Actually, he had long felt that this method wasn't very reliable. His identity was unclear, and he couldn't see any benefits. Only an idiot would involve himself in trouble. His Excellency seemed to have overestimated his charm.
"What are you laughing at?" Miao Yi looked at Xu Tangran's smiling face and was furious. He pointed at him and said, "You. You. I'll leave the recruitment to you in the future."
"Ah! Your humble servant's abilities are limited … "
Xu Tangran hurriedly declined. This was an impossible task. Unexpectedly, Miao Yi interrupted him. "I don't care what method you use. In short, you have to quickly recruit a group of people who can do things for Virtue Assembly Hall and can raise their own funds. I'll give you ten years. If you can't see results, then you'll be the one to blame!"
"Milord …" Xu Tangran felt like crying. 'You're asking me to do this empty-handed thing again. Last time, the matter of the shop fell through. I lost quite a bit of my capital. You don't have to spend money to hire people to do things. Why do you always come up with something like this?!'
Just then, a delicate voice came from outside. "Yo! Why did I bump into someone throwing a tantrum the moment I arrived? Who's so angry? Come, let me see! "
