Chapter 74: Changes in the List

Chapter 74: Changes in the List Thanks to someone's manipulation, the news that Bian Weiying was the first to sign up for the conference spread. Like a stone that stirs up a thousand ripples, the discussion on Wukang Mountain became more and more lively, and in short, there was an unanimous praise for Bian Weiying. As dangerous as everyone had said it was to attend the meeting, the praise for Bian Weiying was just as high now. Similar voices were heard one after another in the Punishment Court. Pang Tiansheng even kept praising "Junior Sister Bian" and all the glorious deeds of Bian Weiying from childhood to adulthood. Upon learning that Bian Weiying was going to attend the meeting, Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang didn't know whether they should be happy or not. The departure time for the meeting was half a month later, and Bian Weiying only gave them three days. Attending the meeting would not prevent Bian Weiying from attacking them. But Shi Chun was not afraid of her. At worst, he would be strong without desires. As the news of Bian Weiying's registration came out, dozens of young elites quickly signed up to attend the conference. Inside the case room, Bian Jixiong, who received the current registration list, smiled and said, "With someone taking the lead, the effect is indeed different." Xia Fuli, who was standing in front of the desk, said jokingly, "The sect master really doesn't know, or is he pretending to be confused? There are many young people in the sect who admire Weiying. This is a good opportunity for many young people to get close to Weiying and share weal and woe." Bian Jixiong smiled, but didn't comment. He put down the list in his hand and said, "After the three-day deadline, pick four more people with good skills and reactions to accompany Weiying to the meeting. Safety is still important."

These words have undoubtedly placed Bian Weiying in the position of team leader. Bian Weiying is indeed qualified, whether in terms of brains, cultivation strength or seniority. He was the mayor of Linkang City before, and he was in charge of a city with so many people, let alone leading a few people. Xia Fuli nodded, "Yes, that's right." The registration deadline had not yet arrived, but the three-day deadline that Bian Weiying gave to Shi Chun had arrived first. Shi Chun and Wu Jin, who were carrying water into the yard, immediately saw Bian Weiying guarding the water tank. After the water splashed into the vat, the three of them stood in front of the vat, not saying a word, just waiting there. Finally, it was Bian Weiying who broke the silence, "Are you not going to confess?" Shi Chun sighed, "I really don't know what to say. Please report your judgment to the sect. I will kill you or chop you up as you wish." At this point, he really had no choice. The worst that could happen was that he could fight back to the way he had done when he escaped before. He could just leave because he didn't believe that the demons would not save them. In short, he would not easily reveal the secret of his right eye. Wu Jinliang nodded in agreement, "We can't explain our nonsense to you. Shi Chun really likes Xiang Lan'er, but he doesn't have any feelings for you. It's useless for you to force it." Bian Weiying swept her cold eyes across the faces of the two men. She felt that the two men were fearless and wanted to weigh their weight. However, the issue of the candidates for the meeting had not been finalized yet. She did not want to cause trouble and decided to be patient for the time being. But he would not let them off easily, sneering, "You came at the right time. We need a lot of water today. The water you owed me from the past two days, please bring it all to me today. Not even half a bucket less. Go!" Shi Chun and the other man were speechless. The kindness they had shown before turned into malice in an instant. Well, the two had nothing to say, because there was no place to reason about this kind of thing. There was no way to win an argument with this woman. It was just carrying water, so they had to do it. The two men picked up their burdens and left with dignity. Pang Tiansheng soon discovered something strange. Those two annoying bastards did not come back early. After checking, he found out that they were constantly fetching water from Bian Weiying. He immediately went to Bian Weiying to ask what was going on. When he learned that Junior Sister Bian had begun to punish the two of them, he was immediately overjoyed. The registration deadline for the conference was approaching in a blink of an eye, and the number of people who registered reached hundreds. The sect’s top leaders met as scheduled and finally finalized the list of five people. In front of everyone, Yin Huixin said nothing, but after returning to the inner house, she exploded with Bian Jixiong because of her daughter's inclusion on the list. Bian Jixiong asked back: "Didn't you agree to her signing up?"

Yin Huixin: "I didn't agree. I said that Senior Brother Ke is responsible for this matter and asked her to find you and Senior Brother Ke." Bian Jixiong: "Then you should find out what's going on with her before you argue with me." Yin Huixin was a little agitated. "Don't use your daughter's wishes as an excuse. You let your daughter attend the meeting just to maintain your clan leader's prestige and to give an explanation to everyone up and down!" Bian Jixiong was a little irritated. He moved closer to her and asked in a low voice, "Why did Wei Bian die? Was it really Weiying's main responsibility? On the night of the incident, who sent someone down the mountain to secretly pass the message to Weiying? I tell you, I know much more than you think. As long as you can get her to withdraw, I will change the draft list!" He waved his hand and turned and left. Yin Huixin's chest rose and fell rapidly, and her rosy face turned ugly. What made Bian Jixiong even more angry was what happened two days later. In the meeting hall, in front of everyone, Bian Jixiong almost threw a receipt from the Domain House at Elder Ke's face, "Tell me, tell everyone, what is going on with this list of participants that was submitted?" Elder Ke responded expressionlessly. The others immediately picked up the receipt and checked it. After reading it, they were all shocked, including Yin Huixin. "Bian Weiying, Gan Tangyu, Xiang Lan'er, Shi Chun, Wu Jinliang, this..." Elder Feng, who was reciting the list, and Elder Cui, who was standing beside him, looked at each other in disbelief. It’s true, all the people on this list are known to the top leaders of Wukangshan. Elder Yi stared at Elder Ke and asked, "Elder Ke, this is not the list we agreed on. What happened? Who changed the list?" Elder Ke said calmly, "I changed it." Everyone was shocked again, speechless with shock. Bian Jixiong was not surprised by this. Only Brother Ke could come up with such an absurd list. But he was still very angry. He pointed at his nose and shouted angrily, "Who gave you the power to change the sect's decision without authorization?" This is secondary. Elder Yi Hua Chun Yi asked: "Don't you know that these three people are not disciples of Wu Kang Mountain? The rules of this meeting require disciples from all factions to attend. Don't you know that you are violating the rules by doing this?" Elder Ke: "I reported those three people as disciples of Wukang Mountain." Elder Feng pointed out while holding the list, "No, the key is that these three people are not my Wukang Mountain disciples. If you report them blindly, it will be a lie. If someone uses this as evidence to cause trouble, it will be very troublesome. It's not just the Domain House, this is the meeting rule set by the Royal Court." Elder Ke: "This is easy. It's not too late to accept them into Wukang Mountain now. As for Lan'er, my attitude has not changed. I still oppose this woman to join my mountain. Since everyone insists that I obey, I will give her a chance to join Wukang Mountain. If she is willing to become a disciple of Wukang Mountain, then fine. If not, do you think it is necessary for such a woman to stay in the mountain? Isn't she deeply in love with Weikang? I want to see whether her love is real or fake." Everyone was speechless again. It seemed that the quarrel was still because of Lan'er's identity as a brothel girl. That’s right, in the case of Lan’er before, when everyone agreed for the sake of the old sect leader’s face, only Elder Ke Yi insisted on opposing it, and in the end, the matter was dropped because the minority obeyed the majority. No one expected that this guy would take this opportunity to cause trouble. But you have to say, this reason is really good. If you want to become a member of Wukang Mountain, now I will give you a chance to become a disciple of Wukang Mountain. Do you want it? When some elders heard this idea, they silently agreed with it in their hearts. Bian Jixiong's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Well, Elder Feng tapped the list again and said, "Then what about Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang?" Elder Ke: "Knowing that there is danger, you still let your disciples take risks. This is not what teachers and leaders like me should do. It is our duty to minimize the damage to our disciples. I have long disliked those two bastards who came out of prison and showed off their power in Wukang Mountain. It is just right to let them take over. In short, give them a chance to become Wukangshan disciples. If they agree to attend the meeting, then fine. If they don't agree, just kill them. It's up to us to decide whether they are Wukangshan disciples or not. When we report to the Domain House, we'll say it was an accident. Who can't allow an accident to kill two people? We can just change the list. When the disciples see the changes in the list, they will understand the master's intention and will not have any opinions. Instead, they will praise us. In short, everyone can be explained, so there's nothing wrong with that." "..." The scene fell silent, and the other elders' expressions relaxed, because there really was no problem at all. At the same time, they could get rid of those guys they disliked, and it would be disgusting to keep them on the mountain.

But Bian Jixiong was still somewhat furious, "This is the sect's decision, can you change it just because you want to? Why don't you discuss it first before making a decision?" Elder Ke said calmly: "If I can save a few more disciples' lives, I am willing to accept any punishment!" "You..." Bian Jixiong pointed at him, too angry to speak. Xia Fuli and Yin Huixin's eyes met subconsciously, and they both knew that this would ruin the sect leader's secret plan. Chief Elder Yi Huachun said, "Punishment is a later matter. Let's deal with the aftermath first. Who will go and find these three people to take over?" He was the eldest senior brother of everyone including the sect leader, and his words were tantamount to approving Elder Ke's approach. Some people looked at Xia Fuli. After all, it was Xia Fuli who had been in contact with the three people. But Xia Fuli refused. "Don't bother two people with the same matter. Since it is Elder Ke's business, let Elder Ke take charge of it." Anyway, this is how things have been settled for now. After the show, Xia Fuli unknowingly walked to the side of Elder Ke and whispered, "Elder Ke, you are so brave. I just thought those people were in the way and was joking about it, but you really did them. You can't say that I said this. I was just joking. Don't make the Sect Master blame me." Elder Ke still had that stern look on his face. "Don't worry, I always take responsibility for my own actions and won't push the responsibility onto others." Xia Fuli laughed dryly. In the sect's forbidden area, Bian Jixiong pushed open the stone gate of the forbidden area, walked to the back of the white-robed figure who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, knelt down, and informed him of the situation. After he finished speaking, he also complained, "Brother Ke's actions simply show that he doesn't take me, the sect leader, seriously." The old voice said, "Alright, he is just that kind of person. He is the only one who truly values ​​you. You should know that the sect also needs someone like him. You can punish him in any way you want. He won't blame you. Has the domain master reviewed the list?" Bian Jixiong sighed, "I specifically asked about it, and it has indeed been reviewed." The old voice said, "The Territory Lord will not remember the small names on the list, but once he has reviewed it, he has reviewed it. He is already dissatisfied with the fact that we have direct contact with the Royal Court on everything. It is really inappropriate to change or cancel the list without authorization and have him review it for us a second time. His opinions are greater than ours. It will only take three months and will be over soon. Let's just deal with it this way." (End of this chapter)
