"Master Su, we’re simply expressing our thoughts, why so angry?" A middle-aged man erged from the crowd, addressing those present: "So of you might know , and so might not. Let introduce myself, my na is Qi Yong, I co from the Dangyang Sect, and I’m currently the Sect Leader. As I’ve just taken over the Dangyang Sect, many might not know well."
"Qi Yong, I know you." Su i chid in: "I’ve checked your background and know what kind of person you are. Soone as shaless as you, a disgrace to the Martial Arts world, I’ve been quite generous letting you live till now, yet you dare to cause trouble at the Martial Arts Association."
Qi Yong let out a hearty laugh: "Master Su, look at your words, am I really that bad? Besides, the reform of the Martial Arts Association is a major event concerning countless Martial Arts mbers, I’m part of this and it’s related to my interests, so of course, I have to participate. What’s wrong with that?"
After a brief pause, Qi Yong glanced at the crowd and continued: "We ca this ti representing thirteen different factions within the Martial Arts, and to save ti, I won’t introduce them individually. In short, I, Qi Yong, am entrusted by these factions to attend this eting, hoping to contribute sothing to the Martial Arts world."
"You?" Su i frowned slightly and mocked: "If you don’t stir trouble for the Martial Arts world, it’ll be a blessing, I dare not count on you to contribute anything. Guards! Throw them out!"
"Tsk, tsk!" Qi Yong said with a smirk: "Master Su, what a mighty air, if I recall correctly, isn’t this the Martial Arts Association? Master Su, this is not the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, and the President hasn’t spoken, what qualification does a Vice President have to issue orders?"
"You..."
"Alright, everyone, let’s keep it down." Tong Zhentian interjected: "Ladies and gentlen, my apologies, please go outside for a break, the eting is temporarily adjourned, there are matters I need to discuss with Chairman Su."
Upon hearing this, everyone began to rise and gradually walked outside.
"Old Man Tong has spoken, we certainly must show respect." Qi Yong chuckled and left the eting room with his followers.
After everyone had left, Su i looked at Tong Zhentian and asked: "Old Man Tong, why not just kick him out? A lowlife like him doesn’t deserve much consideration."
Tong Zhentian shook his head and said: "No, you’re thinking too simply. If it were just one Qi Yong, I certainly wouldn’t care. But, he has thirteen factions supporting him, we must take him seriously." Saying this, Tong Zhentian turned his gaze to Du Kang, asking: "Mr. Du, what do you think?"
"You’re right, we can’t ignore this factor." Du Kang said: "Although Dangyang Sect isn’t a major sect, it’s of moderate size, and as for the other twelve factions, even if they’re smaller ones, this combine force becos a noteworthy presence, we must acknowledge it."
"Old Man Tong, Elder Du, you might not know what kind of person Qi Yong is. When Qi Yong beca Sect Leader of Dangyang Sect, spies from Heavenly chanism Pavilion collected much information on him. I’ve studied it, Qi Yong is an Earthly List expert, driven by greed, he will stop at nothing for gain, including taking the position of Sect Leader in Dangyang Sect. You may rember, the previous Sect Leader was Yi Shuiyan, who often opposed Ling Chen, but later due to God Organization, Yi Shuiyan was bribed and participated in enhancent experints. Although the experint succeeded, not long after, severe side effects occurred in Yi Shuiyan’s body, ultimately leading to his untily death."
"Following Yi Shuiyan’s death, the position of Sect Leader in Dangyang Sect imdiately opened up. At that ti, Qi Yong wasn’t part of Dangyang Sect. In the contest for the Sect Leader position, Dangyang Sect split into several factions. During this ti, people from one faction sought external assistance to suppress others, and Qi Yong was brought in."
"Qi Yong is a very shrewd person, upon joining Dangyang Sect, he seed to aid a faction in gaining the Sect Leader position, but in reality, he secretly recruited people from various factions to strengthen his own power. Qi Yong is indeed skilled in rallying people to his cause. Eventually, Qi Yong secured control over the position of Sect Leader firmly. Because of my understanding of him, I chose to drive him away."
"In that case, it speaks to Qi Yong’s capabilities." Tong Zhentian remarked: "Nevertheless, we cannot ignore their presence. The reform of the Martial Arts Association must gain the approval of all in the Martial Arts world to be effective. If we don’t handle Qi Yong and his people properly, they could cause trouble for us."
"Old Man Tong is right, I agree." Du Kang joined in: "Pavilion Master, Qi Yong and his people coming in at this ti have a clear reason, they want a place in the Martial Arts Association. I propose we include them in the list of candidates for a vote, do you think anyone will vote for them?"
"What if they’re dissatisfied?"
"We’ve given them the opportunity, and if they continue to disturb us, we can teach them a lesson. If this incident gets out, I doubt anyone will criticize us."
Du Kang’s suggestion was quickly agreed upon by Tong Zhentian and Su i.
"I’ll go and inform everyone of our decision to prevent any disagreents." Tong Zhentian said.
Su i smiled slightly: "I believe everyone here is smart enough to understand our intention." Suddenly, Su i changed the topic: "Old Man Tong, there’s sothing I’ve been aning to ask, why didn’t Ling Chen attend such an important occasion today?"
"Him? He had so urgent matters, and recently might not have the energy for these affairs."
"That’s too bad."
With that said, Du Kang walked out to call everyone back into the eting room. Soon, Tong Zhentian shared their decision with everyone present. As expected, everyone understood and no one objected.
"Mr. Du, go bring Qi Yong and his people in."
As Qi Yong and others returned to the eting room, Tong Zhentian spoke: "Qi Yong, after our discussion, we’ve decided to make an exception and give you a chance to beco candidates in the Martial Arts Association. However, the slots are limited, you can only nominate three people."
