The voice of the old man was filled with firm conviction, causing many people to show bewildernt on their faces as his words landed.
What had Azure Dragon promised to the old man?
As for Azure Dragon and so quick-thinking executives, their expressions changed drastically.
What Azure Dragon had promised to the old man was naturally about Xu Fan joining the Six Gods! Azure Dragon lowered his stance, and all the executives knelt down and begged, all in order to get rid of the troubleso Xu Fan. If they couldn't afford to provoke him, could they at least not avoid him?
However, the old man's words once again put Xu Fan's issue on the table.
The old man understood very clearly, didn't Azure Dragon want to avoid trouble? Fine, if Azure Dragon had straightforwardly refused before, naturally, the old man wouldn't have done it this way. But since Azure Dragon played this trick behind the scenes, the old man had no psychological burden anymore.
Once Xu Fan joins the Six Gods, the Taoist will be cautious and at least won't make a move against those around Xu Fan, as this is the only thing the old man can do to help Xu Fan.
Therefore, the old man's voice was extraordinarily firm, even with a hint of a decisive stance! If Azure Dragon refuses, then the old man might really make a move that would cause Azure Dragon extre regret!
Seeing the old man's expression, Azure Dragon secretly felt bitter and cautiously advised, "Mr. Li, your disciple's skills are such that even I am not his match, perhaps his ambition doesn't lie in the Six Gods!"
"Moreover, once you join the Six Gods and beco a mber, there will be many responsibilities and obligations to fulfill..."
Azure Dragon's words made the old man fall into silence.
The old man wanted only to protect Xu Fan, but had never considered these matters before. Of course, previously, the old man never needed to think about these things, his life was nearly gone, so what did fulfilling so responsibilities matter?
However, upon witnessing Xu Fan's terrifying strength, the old man's previous thoughts and convictions could no longer remain steadfast.
Seeing the hesitation on the old man's face, Azure Dragon felt a surge of happiness and was about to continue persuading, but suddenly a voice interrupted, shattering Azure Dragon's wishful thinking completely.
"The Minister is overthinking, I, Xu Fan, am willing to join the Six Gods."
Xu Fan's sudden words left everyone dumbfounded and stunned.
What kind of joke is this! What is your strength, Xu Fan? Have you no idea? Even the boss Azure Dragon is not your match, and now you want to join the Six Gods?
If Xu Fan really enters the Six Gods, who would dare command him? Is it Xu Fan who is the boss, or Azure Dragon?
Azure Dragon was utterly shocked. In Azure Dragon's mind, Xu Fan had a massive and terrifying plan, a hunting plan targeting the Taoists and even the entire Huaxia cultivation world!
And now, Xu Fan wants to join the Six Gods?
What kind of joke is this! Our Six Divine Temple is small, how can it possibly accommodate a god like you!
In fact, Xu Fan previously had no intention of joining the Six Gods, but upon seeing the old man's actions, Xu Fan suddenly changed his mind.
The Six Gods is where the old man has dedicated most of his life, it's almost everything to him. If Xu Fan leaves today, then the old man will likely have nothing to do with the Six Gods. In the storm between the Taoists and Xu Fan, the old man will inevitably be involved.
If that's the case, Xu Fan might as well feign joining the Six Gods to keep the old man here.
Indeed, the Six Gods have many ways they've wronged the old man, and many people have deeply hurt the old man's feelings, but withdrawing, does it resolve the problem?
Of course not!
From today onward, everyone who has betrayed the old man will have to lower their heads when they see him, even Azure Dragon, the Minister of Six Gods, won't dare to be disrespectful!
As long as Xu Fan lives on, the old man is the most special and untouchable existence within the Six Gods!
This is the best response to those traitors!
And this, too, is one of the reasons why Xu Fan didn't kill all the executives. Even if Xu Fan killed all those who betrayed the old man, it couldn't assuage the anger and sorrow in the old man's heart. In the days to co, making every traitor unable to lift their head is the best way to punish them!
As for joining the Six Gods, it's just a process, the Six Gods can worry about trouble and simply disassociate themselves from Xu Fan later.
But Azure Dragon obviously couldn't understand that a single sentence from Xu Fan contained so many anings; Azure Dragon was already frightened crazy by Xu Fan's simple sentence!
Previously in Azure Dragon's eyes, Xu Fan was just a nuisance, simply rejected at the door.
But now, Azure Dragon no longer dares to underestimate Xu Fan, Xu Fan is not rely a trouble, he is like a nuclear bomb ready to explode! Such a powerful and deadly weapon, now Xu Fan says he wants to place it within the Six Gods, in Azure Dragon's place of rest.
How could it not drive Azure Dragon to collapse?
More so, Azure Dragon was driven to collapse by the fact that all the executives were standing on Xu Fan's side, turning to pressure Azure Dragon.
"Boss! This is your promise to Mr. Li, and now Mr. Li has been so aggrieved, we can't let Mr. Li be upset anymore!"
"That's right! Boss, you have to keep your word!"
"How audacious! What kind of person is the boss, how could he be the type to break promises? He promised Mr. Li, he will keep it! Do you guys need to gossip here?"
...
The executives, with just a few sentences, forced Azure Dragon into a corner. If Azure Dragon refuses, he becos a treacherous and dishonest person...
However, this cannot wholly bla the executives. The agony they had just endured, living through death and being revived from death, they never wished to experience again!
So, rather than pressurizing Azure Dragon, the executives sought to flatter Xu Fan and the old man!
Besides, who let Azure Dragon put the bla on us just now? The executives had no psychological burden in doing so.
"Cough, cough!"
Azure Dragon coughed repeatedly, unable to catch his breath, his face turned bright red.
There was no choice, the bitter consequences of his own words, he had to swallow down with tears.
"Alright... in that case, Xu Fan, congratulations, you will be a mber of our Six Gods from now on!"
As soon as Azure Dragon spoke, everyone let out a long breath and relaxed. Naturally, they lacked Azure Dragon's foresight; they only understood that Xu Fan as a mber of the Six Gods ant absolute safety.
Even if Xu Fan beca violent, he couldn't possibly harm a fellow colleague, right?
Azure Dragon felt bitter, thinking of ways to redy it while speaking again, "Today's misunderstanding, several executives died in the line of duty, leaving vacancies in the upper ranks. Mr. Li has served the Six Gods for years, with laudable service..."
"Therefore, we burden Mr. Li henceforth to take a senior position and continue his tireless efforts for the Six Gods."
Xu Fan's matter was of utmost importance, but the old man's matter was secondary. Now that everything has settled, Azure Dragon didn't mind offering a senior position to the old man to soothe Xu Fan's anger.
"Congratulations, Mr. Li!"
As Azure Dragon finished speaking, a chorus of congratulations erupted.
Most people had already left a poor impression on the old man today; if they didn't speak up in celebration, could they continue well in the Six Gods?
Amidst the celebration, Xu Fan discreetly passed a look to Azure Dragon, causing Azure Dragon's heart to tremble. Though his face remained calm, he spoke up, "Regarding Xu Fan joining the Six Gods, no one is to spread the word! Those who do... will face death!"
"Umm... Xu Fan, you've just arrived at the Six Gods, let show you around and introduce the situation."
