"Chen Jiu, you little bastard! Do you think you're all that just because you're a hall master? No matter how big your Dragon Blood Hall is, can it be bigger than me? I have an urgent matter to discuss with you. You're actually putting on airs in front of me instead of getting out of bed in broad daylight. Who do you think you are? Don't be too arrogant … "Loy lifted Chen Jiu's ear proudly as she scolded him. Chen Jiu's reputation had been greatly tarnished when they arrived at the front hall. All the elders of the various halls could see clearly what was going on.
"This …" When they saw Chen Jiu suffer at Loy's hands, their gloomy mood was swept away. The Emperor, in particular, was overjoyed.
"Chen Jiu, this day has finally come for you. How dare you disregard the dean? It seems like you're tired of living!" The Emperor stepped forward and taunted him.
"Don't shout at me, Emperor. If you have the ability, send me a letter of challenge!" Chen Jiu's ear was being pinched, but he wasn't weak when it came to others.
"That's enough. Stop yelling and shouting all day long!" Loy let go of Chen Jiu and said, "Since everyone is here, let's prepare for the meeting!"
"Alright, let's have a meeting then!" Chen Jiu, who was able to stand up, immediately regained his arrogance. He didn't seem to have been punished at all.
"Chen Jiu, your Dragon Blood Hall has recently recruited many talents from the Universe Hall. You have to let them go today!" The Emperor hooted again as soon as the meeting started.
"That's right. There's also the Immemorial Hall, the Supreme Hall, the Mysterious Yellow Hall …" All the hall masters of the various halls started to ask Chen Jiu for people.
"Everyone, what kind of joke is this? Since ancient times, people have always strived for greater heights and water flows for lower depths. If your people want to come to my place, why don't you increase the benefits and stabilize the people's hearts? Are you still being unreasonable? "Chen Jiu replied with conviction. He stood among the crowd without the slightest bit of fear.
"Chen Jiu, if you go on like this, won't our hall lose all its elites?" The various halls did not let him off and began to berate him one after another. "I think you clearly want to make an enemy out of us and kill us all, don't you? Don't think that your Dragon Blood Hall can cover the sky with one hand! "
"Everyone, I don't think I went to your halls to recruit people, right? They came over themselves. What does it have to do with me? " Chen Jiu stood there and said in an imposing and domineering manner, "If you don't agree with my Dragon Blood Hall, feel free to draw a line. My Dragon Blood Hall will accept it. Even if you want to come at us together, our Dragon Blood Hall will not fear you!"
"What? This is the behavior of barbarians! "The Hall Masters were so angry that their faces turned red. None of them dared to take the attack.
"Hmph, look at how aggressive you all are. Don't you just want to fight? What? You don't dare to do it now that I've agreed? " Chen Jiu sneered. "If you don't have the ability, then don't take on the porcelain job. Since you all know that you can't beat me, then sit down and discuss it. Don't get so worked up!"
What kind of logic was this? Strength was everything. Chen Jiu wasn't afraid of these people ganging up on him.
"Dean, please uphold justice for us!" After shouting for a long time, the various hall masters turned to Loy for help. They really couldn't do anything about Chen Jiu.
"Chen Jiu, isn't your Dragon Blood Hall a little too much recently?" Although Loy admired Chen Jiu's magnanimity, she still frowned and voiced her opinion on behalf of everyone else.
"What's too much? Our Dragon Blood Hall has been silent for thousands of years. Is it wrong for us to develop rapidly? "Chen Jiu's mouth was full of reason. He didn't give them any face.
"Chen Jiu, I know you want to develop, but you can't develop without order. If you continue to develop like this, you'll dig up all the cornerstones of the other halls. How are they supposed to survive then?" Loy shouted angrily.
"Oh? Dean, you also know that it's not good to dig up other people's cornerstones? "Chen Jiu looked at Loy suspiciously.
"I … Chen Jiu, do you understand or not?" Loy was a little ashamed. She couldn't help but shout at him.
"Understand what?" Chen Jiu continued to feign ignorance. He didn't want to point it out.
"We're all teachers of the same Divine Institute. You have to leave them a way out. You can't continue to recruit people without restraint!" Loy couldn't help but point it out.
"Dean, you have to make him return our talents. Otherwise, our strength will be greatly damaged!" Loy rolled her eyes at Chen Jiu on behalf of everyone else.
"Return them? That's impossible. Dean, you're standing up for them. Can I take it that you're trying to suppress me? Are you afraid that I'll overshadow you and strip you of your position?" Chen Jiu didn't beat around the bush. He directly voiced Loy's concerns.
"Chen Jiu, our Qiankun Divine Institute has always believed in the Hundred Schools of Thought. You can't monopolize power. This is the institute's rule!" Loy didn't admit it, but she didn't deny it either. If Chen Jiu continued to act like this, he really could make her a mere figurehead.
"What if I say no?" Facing everyone's gazes, Chen Jiu's response undoubtedly made everyone tense up again.
"What? You dare disobey my orders?! " Loy glared at him angrily. If Chen Jiu didn't give her face now, she would be put in a difficult position. However, she had to maintain her dignity.
"Dean, if you join them in suppressing me, then I have no need to give you face. Don't push me too far. If worse comes to worst, we'll just break up!" Chen Jiu gave tit for tat. He didn't fear Loy's anger at all.
"I … I'm not suppressing you. I'm just letting you develop normally. Don't open your mouth so wide. Can you swallow all the teachers and students of the institute?" Loy was furious, but she didn't want to fall out with Chen Jiu yet. After all, he still belonged to the Divine Institute. Although he was so powerful that she couldn't control him, she still didn't want to give up.
"Whether I can swallow it or not is my business. Dean, I'm afraid you don't have to worry about this. Don't worry, I won't take your position as dean. I just want to develop the Dragon Blood Hall. It's that simple!" Chen Jiu still had no intention of backing down.
"Chen Jiu, if you insist on doing this, then you're forcing my hand!" Loy's expression was unsightly. She had brought so many people here to negotiate, but Chen Jiu wasn't willing to back down. She naturally felt humiliated.
"I'm not forcing you. You're the one who's forcing me. Dean, we have to be reasonable!" Chen Jiu spoke with conviction, his words full of reason.
"Chen Jiu, do you think that I can't control you just because you chased away Wang Wuchang? Don't think that you're invincible just because I'm giving you face. Let me tell you, you still have a lot to learn in the Divine Land! "Loy's aura began to rise as she lectured. She was like a god looking down on the world.
