Capítulo 1093: Chapter 770: Zhang Yu Bearing the Weight of 3 Teams
After exchanging so words with Qu Yizhi, Zhang Yu learned that Vice Minister Lu Hengzhang from the Audit Departnt, who holds the fourth grade rank, has been secretly suppressing him.
And the reason for the suppression…
“Conservatives?” Zhang Yu pondered inwardly: “But is this the will of the entire conservative faction, or is it Lu Hengzhang’s own idea? Or maybe it’s the intention of so higher-ranking conservative?”
Zhang Yu first ruled out the possibility of the entire conservative faction’s will; after all, if that were the case, the pressure he faced would be far greater than this.
Zhang Yu asked Qu Yizhi this question, but unfortunately, Qu Yizhi didn’t have an answer either.
“The internal structure of the conservatives is quite complex, including the initial cultivators of Wanfa Sect, those who entered later through the Examination Sect, and even cultivators who transferred from other sects. Do you think they can share the sa viewpoint?”
“Cultivators who entered Wanfa Sect 500 years ago, 300 years ago, and 100 years ago, all ca from different eras. Could they hold the sa beliefs?”
“Whether segnted by different factions or eras, they can be divided into nurous factions both horizontally and vertically.”
Qu Yizhi said, “Vice Minister Lu bears the marks of many factions, and I don’t know exactly why he has taken an interest in you.”
“I can only sense that, although he hasn’t paid much attention to the progress of Martial Arts Third Group, he is likely preparing other ans to deal with you.”
This was one of the reasons why Qu Yizhi made his choice—he felt Lu Hengzhang’s instructions were rely random moves, while the real tactic to deal with Zhang Yu lies elsewhere.
Zhang Yu then took the opportunity to ask about the Audit Departnt head, specifically about Minister Luo Wujie.
According to Zhang Yu’s studies in Examination Sect and Zhan Xian’s warnings, he knew that in Wanfa Sect, the departnt heads wield near-absolute power in their respective departnts.
Minister Luo’s attitude would naturally greatly influence Zhang Yu’s upcoming work in the Audit Departnt.
Qu Yizhi stated, “Minister Luo is theoretically also deed conservative. However, personally, he holds no major opinions against the academic faction…”
According to Qu Yizhi, Minister Luo was initially the Vice Minister in charge of the Taoist Skill Group of the Audit Departnt and started serving as acting head of the Audit Departnt last year.
Since he has not yet formally assud the position of Audit Departnt Minister, he has not been conferred the Refining Void Certificate and remains at the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Qu Yizhi continued, “However, I’ve heard that after the March evaluation this year, he has a good chance of being officially appointed.”
“The matter of targeting our group this ti might be intended to achieve another performance achievent before March to solidify his results and increase his chances of formal appointnt and realm-breaking.”
Zhang Yu nodded slightly, pondering inwardly: “Factions are just a form of identity; even conservative cultivators don’t necessarily oppress those entering through the academy. Ultimately, a sect mber’s choice is motivated by personal interests.”
“If I am to contend against Lu Hengzhang, I should seek support from Luo Wujie.”
Zhang Yu proceeded to ask about other leaders in the Audit Departnt.
As Qu Yizhi narrated, Zhang Yu also gained deeper insight into the Audit Departnt and even the Yufa Pavilion.
While speaking, Qu Yizhi closely observed Zhang Yu’s facial expressions, especially the fluctuation of mana and changes in Spirit Realm and Law Realm signals.
From his observations, he felt that the information he had shared must have been quite helpful to Zhang Yu.
However, as Qu Yizhi realized his focused reaction, he suddenly smiled wryly inwardly, “I, a Group Leader of the third grade rank, actually have to read the expressions of a Sect Affairs Officer of the first grade rank? Who is the leader here, him or ?”
Upon recognizing these distracting thoughts, Qu Yizhi’s heart sank as he warned himself: “At crucial monts, how can I let my mind be distracted?”
With a flick of his mind, Qu Yizhi promptly used the Law Realm to administer himself a dose of magic dicine, instantly calming his mind and suppressing all dissatisfaction, reluctance, anger, grievance, and other emotions.
In that mont, his mind grew increasingly clear, contemplating: “Now the entire performance of Martial Arts Third Group depends on Zhang Yu. Team mbers have to seek him for achievents; he… is the true leader of the Third Group.”
“But as long as he performs well, my titular leadership will naturally benefit…”
“Even if Zhang Yu is to ascend quickly… according to procedure, it will take years, during which our group’s top performance is credited to as Group Leader.”
Then, he bowed to Zhang Yu, saying, “True Monarch, earlier outside, there were many people, so I apologize now. The future of Martial Arts Third Group depends on your leadership.”
At this mont, Qu Yizhi showed no negative emotions, and after suppressing distracting thoughts, even if Zhang Yu asked him to kneel imdiately, he would comply without hesitation.
Zhang Yu quickly supported Qu Yizhi, stating, “Group Leader, I have not been able to et you due to my busy work schedule…”
Qu Yizhi expressed earnestly, “I should have co to see you long ago.”
“True Monarch, please guide my work as well.”
Thus, after work, Qu Yizhi accompanied Zhang Yu to the dormitory, where he introduced him in front of many team mbers: “Group Leader Qu Yizhi is joining our study guidance group starting today.”
Qu Yizhi said with a smile, “After work hours, there are no leaders; I am just like anyone else, learning from True Monarch Zhang without any formality. Continue as usual.”
