Chu Li fell silent.
He could tell that both of them wanted him to be the Deputy Clan Leader so he could fully integrate into the White Dew Hall.
If it was in the past, they would still have concerns about his identity. However, the White Dew Hall was different from before. It needed him more and they could not care so much.
The White Dew Hall was beaten badly this time. Even though they killed many Asuras, they could not hide the fact that they had few members and their strength was weak.
However, Zhao Haiyuan, who made a mistake, was safe and sound. He waved his sleeves and left without any reprimand.
The two vice palace masters of the Rain Master Palace did not even stand up for White Dew Hall. White Dew Hall was sacrificed for nothing. This made Song Chengzhi and Mo Heng angry and depressed. Since they were dissatisfied with the Rain Master Palace, they would not care about the rules of the Rain Master Palace.
Chu Li was thinking about whether he should be the Deputy Clan Leader or not.
His goal in joining the White Dew Hall was to become the Leader of the Rain Master Hall and expand his influence. He could influence the decisions of the Elders Guild and not let the lower realm become a sacrifice for the Outland.
If there was a chance, he would tear down the Elders Guild and even take revenge on them.
This goal was very difficult, especially since his identity was destined to be guarded against by the Elders Guild. They would not allow him to participate. Therefore, he needed more achievements and strength, as well as enough influence. If he was alone, no matter how strong his martial arts skills were, it would be useless. He could not kill everyone. Becoming the master of the Rain Master Hall was a shortcut.
In other words, becoming the Deputy Clan Leader was a solid step but he was hesitant.
"Chu Li, what are you hesitating for?" Song Chengzhi was dissatisfied. "Are you looking down on this Deputy Clan Leader? Or are you looking at the decline of the White Dew Hall and want to choose a higher branch?"
Chu Li waved his hand. "What are you saying, Clan Leader?"
"Then what's there to hesitate about!" Song Chengzhi said impatiently. "Just agree. Deputy Clan Leader may have wronged you but you have to take it slowly. You can't become the Leader in one step!"
Chu Li laughed. "Leader, you really dare to think!"
Song Chengzhi smiled. "Your martial arts is so powerful. With your experience and contributions, you can rise step by step. But you can't rush it."
Chu Li was about to speak when footsteps were heard. Song Lin with white eyebrows and beard came in quietly. "Leader, the Main Hall is here."
"Let them in!" Song Chengzhi said coldly.
He was extremely dissatisfied and disappointed with the main hall. He really didn't want to see the people from the main hall, but since they had come to visit, he couldn't just ignore them. His expression was unsightly as he gloomily stared at the door, watching Song Lin enter with three young men.
These three young men wore spotless white clothes. Even though their appearances weren't handsome, their auras were calm and pure like jade, causing others to be unable to help but feel close to them.
They came closer, cupped their fists and greeted, "Greetings, Hall Master Song, Hall Master Mo, Brother Chu."
"What can I do for the three brothers of the Front Palace Guard?" Song Chengzhi put on a fake smile and cupped his fists.
"We've been ordered to announce a transfer order." The leading white-robed youth smiled and cupped his fists. Then, he took out a letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands.
Song Lin stepped forward, took it, and presented it to Song Chengzhi.
Song Chengzhi took the letter and glanced at it. His expression suddenly turned cold. "Heh, how shameless!"
The three young men in white looked at him calmly, not saying a word.
Mo Heng said, "Hall Master?"
Song Chengzhi passed the letter to Mo Heng and sneered. "Take a look, this is our Rain Master Hall!"
Mo Heng took the letter and glanced at it. His expression changed slightly, and he frowned at the three young men. "This is an order from the Main Hall?"
"Hall Master Mo, we don't dare to issue a transfer order." The leading white-robed youth smiled. "It's written in black and white, and the seal of the Main Hall."
Mo Heng clenched his teeth and glared at them. "Our White Dew Clan has already suffered a great loss. Not only did the Main Hall not send more people, but they also transferred away their masters. Isn't this too much?"
The white-robed youth shook his head. "Hall Master Mo, we're just following orders. We really don't know what's going on. Today, we're here to bring Brother Chu into the Front Palace."
"In your dreams!" Song Chengzhi sneered. "I reject this transfer order. Go back, I'll personally talk to the Main Hall!"
The white-robed youth hesitated and smiled bitterly. "Hall Master Mo, this is putting us in a difficult position. No matter what, Brother Chu still has to go with us. Otherwise, if the Commander blames us, we won't be able to handle it!"
"Then the three of you will stay too!" Song Chengzhi said coldly. "It's impossible to take Chu Li away!"
Chu Li looked puzzled. "Hall Master, are you transferring me away?"
"They want to transfer you into the Front Palace Division!" Song Chengzhi took a deep breath and sneered. "They're really shameless. Seeing that your martial arts is so outstanding and you've made a great contribution, the Front Palace Division is here to snatch you away!"
Chu Li frowned. "I don't think I can join the Front Palace Division with my identity, can I?"
"You've killed so many Asuras, that's enough to prove your loyalty. In the end, it still depends on your strength!" Song Chengzhi said coldly.
Chu Li's martial arts was not only good, it was also extraordinary. He could fight against more than ten Great Asuras alone. Even the Hall Master might not be able to do that. How could the Front Palace Division let go of such a top-notch master?
As for his background, it became insignificant. No matter how disloyal he was, he would never join the Asuras or the Heavenly Demons.
He gritted his teeth.
The Front Palace Division was too shameless. They even kept him as a Deputy Hall Master, but the Front Palace Division took advantage of him. They directly transferred him to become a member of the Front Palace Division without any position.
Not only was Chu Li skilled in martial arts, but he was also well-versed in formations. Although his divination skills had been removed, he was still powerful enough. He alone was equivalent to hundreds of people. As long as he was there, the White Dew Hall would not truly decline.
However, the Main Palace Division was too ruthless. They wanted to transfer Chu Li away as well. It was like hitting someone who was down!
Chu Li slowly nodded. "Hall Master, there's no need to be angry. I'll just reject it."
The leading young man in white smiled gently. "Brother Chu, as a disciple of the Rain Master Palace, you can't disobey orders. Since the transfer order has been given, you can only obey. Otherwise, you'll have to leave the Rain Master Palace!"
"The three of you stay!" Song Chengzhi stared coldly at the three young men in white.
They hesitated for a moment and nodded.
It was better to be tactful. It seemed like Song Chengzhi had gone crazy. If they really disobeyed him, it would definitely be a fight. They could not break through the White Dew Hall, even if it was in decline now.
A wise man did not fight when the odds were against him. They readily agreed. "Hall Master Song, then we'll wait for half a day."
"I'll be back soon!" Song Chengzhi gritted his teeth.
Mo Heng hurriedly said, "Hall Master, it's useless."
"I don't believe that the Main Palace Division has no place to reason!" Song Chengzhi said hatefully.
Chu Li frowned and did not speak. He thought about the pros and cons.
Logically speaking, becoming a disciple of the Front Palace Division was beneficial to his future. He would be closer to the center of power. The Front Palace Division was a direct descendant. Any position in the Rain Master Palace would be arranged by the Front Palace Division first.
Song Chengzhi hurriedly left, leaving Mo Heng and the three young men in white staring at each other.
The three of them looked at Mo Heng for a while, then at Chu Li.
Chu Li fist saluted and did not speak.
Mo Heng faintly sighed and shook his head.
The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Even the air seemed to slow down.
Song Lin served tea from time to time.
