"If they're messing around, then just suppress them. Why send them to their deaths?" Sun Mingyue shook her head and said, "They won't be able to stir up any trouble. There's nothing to be afraid of, so why kill them?"
"Because of Chu Li, you don't have enough authority right now." Song Wanqing sighed and said, "Why do you think they let a woman suppress them? Those old fellows all want to overthrow the Holy Lady and let the men take charge!"
Sun Mingyue said, "There are very few people in the Church who have the will to rebel."
"That's because they're hiding inside." Song Wanqing said lightly, "If they can't even hide it from you, what else can they do? You're underestimating these old fellows too much! "
Sun Mingyue frowned and did not say anything.
Song Wanqing scoffed, "I'll say it now. The Wan Shitong in the painting just now has three sons, six grandsons, and two granddaughters. They're all disciples of the Church. Once he speaks, do you think his sons and grandsons will listen?"
"… I guess I'll listen." Sun Mingyue sighed and said, "After all, it's their ancestor. Without Wan Shitong, they wouldn't have the chance to enter the Holy Church of Light."
"These sons and grandsons have wives, and wives have brothers and sisters. If Wan Shitong speaks, at least twenty to thirty people will respond." Song Wanqing snorted and said, "If you openly suppress them and punish them, will these sons and grandsons harbor resentment?"
"Yes." Sun Mingyue nodded.
"Then these people will suppress their dissatisfaction at the bottom of their hearts and wait for a suitable opportunity. Someone will call for the abolition of the Holy Lady and let the Four Great Guardian Kings jointly preside over the affairs of the Church. They will definitely respond. Women are weak in everyone's hearts and cannot climb on top of men!" Song Wanqing snorted.
Sun Mingyue sighed and nodded silently.
She knew that what her master said made sense. Human nature was indeed like this. She could see through people's hearts and naturally knew how dark human nature was. However, to send these old fellows, who had made outstanding contributions to a desperate situation, it was fine if they didn't know that they were going to die. Knowing that they couldn't succeed, they still wanted to send them to their deaths.
"Actually, when I was the Holy Lady, they were restless." Song Wanqing said lightly, "I had the same thoughts as you back then. I didn't have the heart to be ruthless. I kept them and turned a blind eye."
"Master …" Sun Mingyue was a little embarrassed.
Chu Li stood at the side and did not say a word. He pretended that he did not exist. This was the most confidential matter, the most private of emotions, and could not be announced to the public.
Song Wanqing said, "But now I know that tolerance will only make them more and more arrogant. Their way of thinking will never change, and they still have to keep instilling this idea into their juniors. Men are superior to women, and the Holy Maiden is not qualified to lead the Sacred Sect."
Sun Mingyue remained silent.
"So if you don't want too many people to die, then send them to Sky Beyond Heaven!" Song Wanqing snorted, "You can't bear to see too many people die. There are only two paths. One is to compromise with them and hand over your power, and the other is to send them to their deaths. You can only choose one, can you let go of the Sacred Sect and hand it over to them?"
Sun Mingyue shook her head.
She felt that she was doing well enough. If it was someone else, they would not be able to do what she did. Moreover, the Saint Church was becoming more and more prosperous under her governance. If it was someone else, it would be difficult for the Saint Church to maintain such momentum.
Letting go would be irresponsible to all the disciples of the Holy Church.
Song Wanqing said, "That's right. If we let them continue to agitate, there will be more people who will become restless. In the end, more people will die, and it will definitely weaken the strength of our Holy Church!"
"Sigh …" Sun Mingyue shook her head and sighed.
Song Wanqing said, "You are about to become the leader, I want to clear the last obstacle for you, so that you won't encounter any trouble after you step onto the leader's position. Don't think that they won't dare to make a move just because you are an Enlightened Master. On the contrary, once you step onto the leader's position, it will be the best time for them to make a move. Because of the restrictions of the Heavenly Rules, Enlightened Masters cannot make a move against Grandmasters!"
"You can't make a move even if they rebel?" Sun Mingyue shook her head.
Song Wanqing scoffed, "Who said they rebelled? They are only hoping that the Holy Maiden will not lead the Holy Church. It is not a rebellion. They are still loyal to the Holy Church, and as an Enlightened Master, they cannot make a move. "
Sun Mingyue nodded lightly.
Although she could see through people's hearts, she did not understand these flowery hearts well enough. This was because there was no need to do things like this. Pointing straight to the other party's heart was like giving the right medicine to the illness.
"Master, let me deal with these old fellows." Sun Mingyue said, "There is no need to send them to their deaths. They all have weaknesses. Just find their weaknesses and make them submit. There is no need to use such methods. There will be endless troubles in the future."
Song Wanqing frowned and looked at her.
Sun Mingyue said, "People are not saints, how can they not have selfishness? As long as there is selfishness, there will be weaknesses. I will make it so that they have no time to care about these things. Master, don't worry, I will take care of it!"
Song Wanqing stared at her.
Sun Mingyue was indeed blessed by the heavens and could see through people's hearts. As a master and an Enlightened Master, she did not have such an ability, so she had high hopes for Sun Mingyue. The prosperity of the Holy Church of Light would be realized in Sun Mingyue's hands. As a master, she had to help her and sweep away the last obstacle.
Chu Li coughed lightly, "I have something I don't know if I should say."
"No need to say it!" Sun Mingyue gave him a sidelong glance.
Chu Li smiled and looked at Song Wanqing.
Song Wanqing smiled and said, "Why don't you say it? Chu Li, you must have a wise opinion."
Chu Li said, "There is no harm in letting them go. It will be a warning to them, but there is no need to send them to their deaths. Leave them a way to show the bishop's dignity and magnanimity. If they are unrepentant, it will not be too late for the Saint to make a move."
Song Wanqing shook her head. "They might not be grateful. They might even be angrier and oppose Sun Mingyue even more."
Chu Li smiled. "It will be too late to make a move. I believe that with the Saint's ability, it will not be difficult to deal with these old fellows. Senior, you have underestimated the Saint!"
"Yes, Master!" Sun Mingyue nodded quickly.
"Alright, tell me." Song Wanqing saw that Sun Mingyue was firmly against it, so she did not force it.
Chu Li sat behind the table again and raised his pen. "Send another twenty-five masters to follow behind them. If they encounter any danger, they will immediately help. Also, there are two of us!"
"You still have to go!" Song Wanqing said impatiently.
Chu Li smiled and looked at Sun Mingyue.
If she could not assassinate Zhong Wancheng, Sun Mingyue would not go to the Reincarnation Temple. She would definitely listen to her Master.
Sun Mingyue nodded. "That's good. It will be safer."
Song Wanqing looked at Chu Li. "Chu Li, do you know that disciples of Goddess Attraction Mountain are not allowed to intervene in these matters?"
"I know." Chu Li nodded and smiled. "I will be punished."
"Since you know, you still want to help." Song Wanqing looked at Sun Mingyue. "Why?"
Sun Mingyue quickly said, "Master, it's nothing. He just wants to return the favor."
"Really?" Song Wanqing looked at Chu Li doubtfully.
Chu Li smiled. "Actually, I am not really involved. I am just helping to save people."
He had been deducing the Eight Harmonies Formation in his mind, thinking of a way to break it.
