The two of them couldn't help but look at each other in dismay when they received it and read through it. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Fei had already become the Hall Master of Suppressing Second Hall, while Sikong Wuwei had become the Hall Master of Suppressing Third Hall. The decree in their hands was proof of that. However, they still felt as though they were dreaming. He had just broken through to Red Lotus First Grade, and he was already promoted to Hall Master?
They had heard of similar things before. Once a person returned from the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade and reached the Red Lotus realm, there was a chance that they would receive the Palace Lord's recognition and become a Hall Master. It would be a lie to say that the two of them weren't looking forward to it.
It felt wonderful to have a dream come true!
From now on, from the moment the two of them held this decree of appointment in their hands, the two of them would become dukes who controlled billions of believers. Their power was above billions of people!
"Thank you for the Palace Master's appreciation!" The two of them quickly cupped their fists and thanked him.
Granny Tao chuckled and pointed at Tao Qingli. "The two halls are quite close to this place anyway. If there's anything you don't understand, you can always come here and ask her for guidance. I'll also have her visit your halls more often."
"Yes!" The two of them cupped their fists at Tao Qingli and said, "Please give us some pointers, Advisor!"
Tao Qingli nodded slightly and smiled. "Let's keep in touch!"
It seemed like the woman Miao Yi was talking about wasn't that easy to talk to. They hurriedly replied, "Yes!"
Tao Qingli helped Granny Tao up. As Granny Tao walked over, she said, "Go! Go to Suppressing Tenth Hall and hand over your responsibilities. Come back as soon as you can! "
"Yes!" However, Zhao Fei hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Palace Lord, I have a request. I wish to transfer Miao Yi under my command."
Sikong Wuwei cupped his fists and said, "It's the same if you're transferred to this humble one's service."
Since they were about to leave Suppressing Tenth Hall's territory, they naturally couldn't just leave Miao Yi there alone. Bringing him back to their own territory would make it easier for them to take care of him.
More importantly, the two of them had yet to officially assume the position of Hall Master. They were still Manor Heads, which meant that they were of the same rank as Miao Yi in Suppressing Tenth Hall. How could a Manor Head like Miao Yi take away another Manor Head? Miao Yi only had ten Manor Heads under him in total.
This was not the way to bring people around. It was against the rules. When the two of them first came to Traversing Water Palace, they only brought subordinates that were a rank lower than them. Miao Yi couldn't possibly bring Yang Qing's subordinate Mountain Chieftains with him when he became the Manor Head of Suppressing Tenth Hall.
Even if he found Shen Huaixin, it wouldn't be easy for him to bring it up. Therefore, it would be best for him to use this opportunity to get Granny Tao to agree.
Granny Tao did not stop. She shook her head and said, "There's no such rule! We'll talk about it after you've sorted out the matters in your own territories! It's more important for you to deal with your own matters first. "
This was a rejection! The two were speechless. He could only cup his hands at Granny Tao, who brushed past him, and say, "Yes!"
In the end, there were only two people left in the empty Conference Hall, looking at each other in dismay.
After leaving the Water Palace, the two of them went straight to Miao Yi's place and informed him of the situation. The three of them couldn't figure out Granny Tao's intentions at the moment. Miao Yi could only congratulate the two of them.
The two of them were rather apologetic that they weren't able to bring Miao Yi along with them. Miao Yi didn't mind it at all. Instead, he advised the two of them not to think too much about it, and that they should first go to the two halls to stabilize themselves before anything else.
The two of them had to return to Thousand Lake Manor and Mulberry Cloud Manor for the handover, so it wasn't convenient for them to stay any longer.
As soon as Suppressing Tenth Hall received Traversing Water Palace's decree, they immediately dispatched their men to the two Manors for the handover. The former Manor Heads of Thousand Lake Manor and Mulberry Cloud Manor were overjoyed. Originally, the two Manor Heads had been pushed out of their respective Manors. Now that the positions of the two Manors were vacant, they naturally returned to them.
After the handover was completed, Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei immediately rushed to Suppressing Tenth Hall to express their gratitude.
"Hall Master Zhao, Hall Master Sikong, this way please!"
Shen Huaixin personally led the three Deacons and six Advisors to welcome them outside the palace. His subordinates, including the Eldest Auntie and Little Auntie, also had to follow suit. Now that the two of them were Hall Masters, they stood on equal footing with Shen Huaixin. Their status was no longer the same as before.
Xu Jinsong and the other two didn't look any better. Yesterday, they were at the bottom of the hierarchy, but today, they were at the top of the hierarchy. After so many years in Traversing Water Palace, the positions of Suppressing Second Hall and Suppressing Third Hall's Hall Masters had actually fallen to two newcomers. Not only that, but they were also enemies whose cultivation was lower than theirs. It was hard to describe how they felt right now, as they resented Traversing Water Palace for being so unfair.
After so many years in Traversing Water Palace … The three Advisors even had to step forward to toast the two of them and say some flattering words. They forced a smile on their faces. It was as if the river flows east for thirty years, but in the next thirty years, the river flows west for the next thirty years. The others couldn't help but sigh when they saw this. They had also witnessed the glory of Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei.
During the banquet, Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei asked Shen Huaixin to take some of their subordinates with them. Naturally, they wanted to take their old subordinates and the people they had trained.
Their subordinates also wanted to leave with the two of them. They were about to be promoted and rich, and they didn't have to occupy a position in Suppressing Tenth Hall. Shen Huaixin didn't want to stand in their way, so he naturally agreed.
Zhao Fei took the opportunity to say, "I wish to take Raincloud Manor's Manor Head Miao Yi with me. I hope Hall Master Shen can accommodate me."
Since Granny Tao didn't respond, Zhao Fei wanted to try his luck with Shen Huaixin.
Shen Huaixin was taken aback. He swept his gaze across Xu Jinsong and the other two, then smiled and said, "Manor Head Miao is still a Manor Head here. Even if he goes to your side, he'll still be a Manor Head. If word gets out, people will think that Suppressing Tenth Hall is an intolerant place. How about this? If Hall Master Zhao is truly interested, why don't you try asking the Palace Master? That way, I'll have a way out of this awkward situation. "
Out of the three of them, only one was left to oppose the three Advisors. How could Shen Huaixin let him go so easily? Not to mention, it was also against the rules for Zhao Fei to take away someone of the same rank as him from Suppressing Tenth Hall. 'Allowing someone of a lower rank to take away is already giving you face. What's wrong with taking away someone of the same rank as you? 'You're the Hall Master of Suppressing Second Hall, not the Hall Master of Suppressing Tenth Hall. You can't make the call here.'
Zhao Fei smiled and raised his cup, not bringing up the subject again. He knew he wouldn't be able to take it anymore. Granny Tao had already said that it was against the rules and had already rejected him.
However, Sikong Wuwei suddenly pointed at Deacon Gao and said, "Hall Master Shen, I see that Deacon Gao is quite capable. Why don't Hall Master Shen do me a favor and let me have him?"
The entire hall instantly fell silent as everyone turned to look at Deacon Gao. When Deacon Gao heard Shen Huaixin's words, he was so shocked that the wine cup in his hand trembled and spilled all over the floor.
'This is revenge! Blatant revenge! ' Everyone knew that he had once said that he would execute Zhao Fei and the other two. If he really brought Deacon Gao to Suppressing Third Hall, Gao Sheng wouldn't even know how he died.
Shen Huaixin smiled and said, "Hall Master Sikong has already said that Deacon Gao is quite capable. Naturally, Suppressing Tenth Hall needs him as well. Not to mention, we can't force Deacon Gao to agree to this, right? Gao Sheng, what do you think? Are you willing to go? If you are, then I will let you go! "
No matter how he felt about Gao Sheng, he couldn't just stand by and let his subordinates do whatever they wanted, knowing that they were in danger.
Naturally, Gao Sheng wouldn't agree. Since the Hall Master had already given him a way out, he naturally had to follow suit. "Your humble servant is willing to continue serving the Hall Master!"
The three Hall Masters chuckled and pretended as if nothing had happened, leaving it at that.
During the banquet, Shen Huaixin politely asked Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei to stay for a few more days so that he could be a good host.
He was just being polite, but Zhao Fei pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since the Hall Master is willing to give us face, we have no choice but to accept. I'm afraid we can't stay for too long. The other side is still waiting for us to complete the handover. Why don't we stay for one more night?"
Shen Huaixin was a little speechless, but he still put on a friendly expression.
In the end, Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei, who had already settled down at the side courtyard, ordered someone to invite Xu Jinsong, Ji Ze, and Huang Jizhang over that very night.
As soon as the three of them arrived, Zhao Fei dismissed his subordinates and walked up to them with Sikong Wuwei. He coldly asked, "Advisors, do you know why we've summoned you here?"
The three of them could vaguely guess, but they still cupped their fists and replied, "We don't! Please enlighten us, Hall Masters. "
Zhao Fei waved his hand and said, "That would be hypocritical. Let's get straight to the point. The reason we're staying for one more night is because we wish to have a chat with the three of you. Even though the two of us have left Suppressing Tenth Hall, we will not ignore Miao Yi's affairs. I hope the three of you won't push things too far. "
Xu Jinsong sucked in a deep breath and said, "Aren't the two Hall Masters mistaken? We're under the command of the Suppressing Tenth Hall's Hall Master. Don't you think it's against the rules for the two of you to order us around?"
Zhao Fei calmly asked, "So you're saying that you're determined to go against Miao Yi?"
Xu Jinsong replied, "Hall Master Zhao, you're mistaken. We are Advisors, and we won't go against anyone on purpose. We will only act according to the rules of Suppressing Tenth Hall."
Beside him, Sikong Wuwei suddenly chuckled, then pointed at Xu Jinsong's nose and said, "Don't beat around the bush. I'll make it clear today. If you dare touch a single hair on Miao Yi's head, I will rip it off your head and kick it like a ball. Don't think that we can't do anything to you just because you're hiding in Suppressing Tenth Hall. Just because others don't dare to do something doesn't mean we won't!"
Xu Jinsong immediately glared at him. Zhao Fei shot him a sidelong glance and said, "What? Do you want to try it out now? "
Ji Ze and Huang Jizhang hurriedly pulled Xu Jinsong aside and replied, "We will remember your advice, Hall Masters. If there's nothing else, we will take our leave!"
"Scram!" Sikong Wuwei waved his hand, not bothering to be polite at all.
Xu Jinsong and the others left the side courtyard with dark expressions on their faces …
The next day, as soon as Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei left Suppressing Tenth Hall to take up their duties, Xu Jinsong went to the Chamber of Commerce's branch in Suppressing Tenth City alone.
"Advisor Xu!" Chu Zhehui politely greeted him as soon as he saw him. He then extended his hand and said, "Let's talk in the secret chamber!"
He thought Xu Jinsong was here to make a deal with him. Otherwise, Xu Jinsong wouldn't have come looking for him for no reason.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jinsong waved his hand and said, "There's no hurry. Is Manager Su here?"
Chu Zhehui was taken aback, but he quickly smiled and said, "Yes! Advisor Xu, is something the matter? "
"Please introduce me to her."
"Haha! Alright. Please wait here for a moment. I will go inform her right away! "Chu Zhehui invited him to take a seat, then quickly left.
Not long after, he returned and invited Xu Jinsong to follow him, telling him that Manager Su was waiting for him in the backyard.
After bringing Xu Jinsong to meet with Su Yanran, Chu Zhehui took his leave. Su Yanran then led Xu Jinsong into the silent quarters as well.
