"Dou Zhao must have gone senile."
"I demand an imdiate initiation of the impeachnt process against Dou Zhao!"
"Soone who betrays the Association, soone who wants to abandon its most glorious history, is unfit to lead it!"
Daphne Margaret was in the Psychic Cultivator’s Association’s Tutor Committee, raising her hands high, passionately criticizing the current Chief Grand Tutor.
She didn’t spare the old mage a glance.
Though they once shared a ntor-student relationship, that was a matter of the distant past. Due to ambition and conflicts of stance, they had long since parted ways. She had beco the clear opposition within the Association, contending with another classmate, Ni Xun, also a student of Dou Zhao, for the chief title after Dou Zhao’s departure.
Her enemy was her insidious junior and biased teacher—so she had always thought.
But unexpectedly, Gu Hang suddenly erged.
When soone proposed this suggestion during the Tutor Committee, she fiercely opposed it.
However, opposition proved futile.
This proposal was not only brought up by Dou Zhao, but also supported by Ni Xun, whom she used to deem ’sly and treacherous, only adept at flattering ntors.’ The entire Tutor Committee seed collectively inclined to support it.
The spiritual power Gu Hang displayed on the frontline battlefield, the more experts understood spiritual energy, the more they realized the terrifying truth it represented.
Moreover, Gu Hang possessed not just exceptional spiritual power.
He was simultaneously a ruling feudal lord of the Empire and a hero with distinguished military achievents. This ant he also had ample political influence, economic resources to support, and build the Psychic Cultivator’s Association.
If these factors were all combined, there was no one more suitable than Gu Hang to beco the Chief Grand Tutor within the Empire.
People with resources, with status, don’t have such strong spiritual power; those with such strong spiritual power... let’s drop it, the entire Empire hasn’t seen anyone this formidable.
Like the Imperial Chancellor reincarnated.
In heart of hearts, if there were no conflict of interest, Daphne Margaret would also think that if Gu Hang could take on the role of the Grand Tutor of the Psychic Cultivator’s Association, it would be a great thing.
But isn’t this exactly a conflict of interest?
She herself wanted to be this Grand Tutor.
If the Grand Tutor isn’t , then the revival of the Psychic Cultivator’s Association is aningless.
Of course, such things are only to be thought in the mind, never spoken aloud.
She could only use other argunts to criticize.
But her criticisms were ineffective.
She beca sowhat despairing, even disheartened, ready to leave the Psychic Cultivator’s Association.
After all, she was an S-Class Psychic, with her own supporters within the Association. If push ca to shove, she could go independent or join other factions, there was always
Until just earlier, a major opportunity presented itself to her.
After Dou Zhao t with Gu Hang, he convened a eting to announce one thing: discuss relinquishing the Association’s authority over all psychics in the Empire.
This matter caused an uproar in the Tutor Committee.
Where does the greatness of the Psychic Cultivator’s Association lie? Isn’t it based on the command that all spiritual power in the Empire should obey the Association’s decree?
If this is given up, what would the Association still be called?
Countless people thought Dou Zhao had gone senile.
And those who could react a bit quicker quickly realized this was by no ans Dou Zhao’s own thought.
This Chief Grand Tutor suddenly presented this proposal without any prior hints after the eting with Gu Hang.
Although Dou Zhao didn’t say it, it’s easy to guess: this was likely Gu Hang’s precondition for taking over the affairs of the Psychic Cultivator’s Association.
Those who discerned this point were divided in attitude.
So turned to silence.
These people likely shared Dou Zhao’s mindset. They felt that the current state of the Psychic Cultivator’s Association was already quite grim, sticking to rules ant waiting for death. To revive it, innovation was indispensable. Abandoning a power that was nominally there but practically useless, in exchange for a leader with real resources and ability to lead the revival, might not be bad.
But the matter was still too shocking, directly challenging the foundation of the Psychic Cultivator’s Association, and they hadn’t stood out in support for the mont.
So, however, wouldn’t think this way.
In their view, that was betrayal.
They were very disappointed with Gu Hang’s attitude, feeling that this kind of revival was not what they desired.
And this was the opportunity Margaret saw.
She, who had been considering resignation, seized the chance, and stood at the forefront, aiming at Dou Zhao.
Dou Zhao didn’t speak, Ni Xun stood out, engaging in a heated debate with her.
At this stage, Margaret expressed so classic statents.
"The ancestral laws must not be changed!"
"This is betrayal of our cause!"
"Gu Hang isn’t coming to lead our revival, he’s here to dismber us!"
Her words resonated greatly with the crowd.
With her existing supporters, she actually gathered enough people to initiate the impeachnt process against the Grand Tutor!
The impeachnt process required initiation by two out of the nine Grand Tutors, and recognition by one-third of the mbers in the current Tutor Committee to start it.
Upon initiation, a vote by all Tutor Committee mbers was needed, with over half the votes to overthrow the Chief.
