Chapter 196: The Grand Secretariat Meeting | Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans]

Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans] - Updated on March 20, 2025

These past few days at the academy have been peaceful, with students cultivating and healing.

However, news about the opening of the Sea of Consciousness Secret Realm has spread.

Especially after hearing that students from all races might enter the Sea of Consciousness Secret Realm this time, it caused a huge sensation!

…………

Cultivation Pavilion.

The Elders’ Council reconvened.

This year’s Elders’ Council is meeting much more frequently than in previous years.

There’s a meeting every few days.

And this time, it’s Hong Tan’s first time attending the Elders’ Council this semester.

Cultivation Pavilion, main conference room.

Hong Tan encountered Zhou Mingren, and greeted him politely with a smile, “Elder Zhou, is your injury alright?”

Zhou Mingren didn’t say anything, ignored him, sat down on his own, and closed his eyes to wait.

Hong Tan laughed, cupped his hands to the others, and said with a smile, “I haven’t been back for a few months, and the academy has almost completely changed. There are students from all races and the Sea of Consciousness Secret Realm is opening. Luckily, I came back. If I hadn’t, the academy might have changed its name!”

As he spoke, he looked at Xia Changqing and said with a smile, “Old Xia, the Great Xia Civilization Academy might as well change its name to Changqing Academy next time, it sounds so nice!”

Xia Changqing didn’t say anything.

Just ignore him!

Hong Tan didn’t mind, and laughed, “Never mind, never mind, sigh, life is tough!”

Then, he looked at another person and asked strangely, “Old Nie, why are you here?”

Elder Nie glanced at him and sighed inwardly, “What a pity!”

The last teapot was crushed by me.

Otherwise, I should have taken out the teapot to show off this time.

Hong Tan was surprised, and others were also surprised. Vice-Principal Su Ziming also whispered, “Old Nie, why did you think of coming to the meeting today?”

There are 6 non-Mountain Sea Elders in the Great Xia Civilization Academy.

The library director, the director of the Supervision Institute, and the other 4 are all in the Secret Realm Area.

The Vitality Secret Realm, the War Demon Field Secret Realm, the Sea of Consciousness Secret Realm, and the Demon Prison Secret Realm, the four major Secret Realms, were left by the four former principals.

The Great Xia Civilization Academy has gone through six generations. Except for the Fifth Principal who didn’t leave a Secret Realm, and Wan Tiansheng who is still alive, everyone else left a divine script Secret Realm.

Elder Nie is the leader of the Vitality Secret Realm and also an Elder.

This position was originally reserved for Zhao Li, but Zhao Li focused on forging, and later failed to forge a Earth-rank battle weapon, and didn’t have the mind to study this.

Hearing Su Ziming’s question, Elder Nie said with a smile, “Principal Su, I heard that the Elders who attend the Elders’ Council this time will each get a spot, so I came.”

As soon as this was said, from the Single Divine Script faction, Yu Hong shouted, “Nonsense! Recently, I don’t know who is secretly fueling the flames, spreading rumors, and talking nonsense!”

In the past few days, rumors have indeed been circulating in the academy.

Sometimes it’s that students from all races can enter, sometimes it’s that each Elder gets a spot, sometimes it’s that the top 100 students can enter, sometimes it’s that only students from all races can enter…

The Single Divine Script faction has also been having headaches these past few days.

Bad luck!

Nothing has gone smoothly this year!

Elder Sun also said in a deep voice, “This is a Secret Realm that we opened at our own expense. Whoever wants to open it, can open their own!”

These people actually want to reap the benefits!

They cannot tolerate this.

At most, only 50 people can enter in total. Many people from the Single Divine Script faction want to go in, but before it’s even opened, a large group of people are already eyeing it.

Even Nie Qi, who doesn’t usually get involved, came today.

Not only Elder Nie, but soon, several other Elders entered.

All of them are in the Soaring Cloud realm!

Several Soaring Cloud Elders who didn’t usually participate in these matters have also come today, the Director of the Supervision Institute, the Director of the Library…

Not only that, but several Elders who said they were in seclusion have also appeared at this time.

“Jia Wendao, aren’t you in seclusion? Why are you here!”

An Elder looked at Jia Wendao with a smile, a big fat man, with a ruddy face, who looked like he had just had a feast, and just came out.

Jia Wendao said with a smile, “I heard that there are spots to be distributed, so I came out of seclusion! Old Hong is back too?”

He glanced at Hong Tan, and Jia Wendao smiled brightly, “Old Hong, I recently collected a set of stationery outside, dragon whisker brush, tortoise inkstone… It looks very similar to your set, I’ve always been thinking about it, I didn’t expect it to be sold outside now!”

“…”

Hong Tan’s face stiffened!

That’s right, where’s my stationery!

Why can’t I see it?

Where’s my teapot?

Where are my beloved landscape paintings?

Where’s my Celestial Dragon holding Phoenix jade carving?

I… damn it, it seems like a lot of things are missing from my room. I’ve been so busy these past few days that I forgot to ask.

Jia Wendao smiled and didn’t care about him, he was happy in his heart.

On the side, the other Elders were also secretly laughing in their hearts.

Yu Hong directly sneered, “Misfortune at home, bad family style! The disciple sells the teacher’s things, disobeys his superiors, the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked!”

Hong Tan turned his head and glanced at her, and said with a smile, “Elder Yu, don’t be insinuating! I’m happy, what can you do about it? Even if Bai Feng sells the Wen Tan Research Center, I’m happy, what can you do about it?”

He probably guessed what happened, and cursed inwardly, and decided to clean up the house when he got back!

But at this time, can he let his opponent see a joke?

“I used to be too lazy to pay attention to you, and too lazy to argue with you, don’t really think I’m easy to bully!”

Hong Tan said with a smile, “I don’t really care about the affairs of the academy, but… don’t shit on my head, a powerhouse close to the Sun Moon realm, is not someone you can provoke, Old Woman, go home and think about it, I don’t want to argue with you either, if you say three things and four things to me again, ask Elder Zhou, can he protect you?”

Zhou Mingren frowned slightly, pressed his hand, and stopped Yu Hong from speaking again.

Yu Hong is only at the seventh level of the Mountain Sea realm, which is not weak, but far from being Hong Tan’s opponent.

He is the strongest of the 8 Elders of the Single Divine Script faction, and the second strongest is not someone else, but Elder Zhao who is in closed-door cultivation.

Zheng Yuming is the weakest, followed by Elder Li, at the fourth level of the Mountain Sea realm, then Elder Ma in the Heavens Battlefield, at the fifth level of the Mountain Sea realm, and another Elder Fang, at the sixth level of the Mountain Sea realm, and Elder Sun is also at the seventh level of the Mountain Sea realm.
Besides Zheng Yuming, the others are not weak, which is the foundation of their lineage’s strength.

There are 4 in the late Mountain and Sea stage!

Hong Tan stopped talking and sat down on his own. Soon, Wu Yuehua and others arrived!

He Qi, Fan Jin, and others also rushed over.

The others didn’t say anything, but Wu Yuehua glanced at Su Ziming, sneered, and looked disdainful!

Su Ziming remained silent.

Back then, he had always stood on the side of the Multiple Divine Script faction, but now, fifty years have passed, and he did not participate in this war.

As people arrived one after another, Wan Tiansheng slowly entered the door.

He picked up a teacup, sat down, and took a sip of tea.

After taking a sip, seeing everyone looking at him, Wan Tiansheng smiled and said, “Since everyone is here, let’s make it short. It’s just a matter of a Secret Realm of Consciousness, which has nothing to do with us, yet it has caused such a commotion! Last time, Old Zhou wanted to open the Secret Realm of Consciousness, and I agreed. If he wants to open it, then let him!”

Zhou Mingren said lightly: “I also think there is no need to hold a Cabinet Elder meeting! Whoever can open it, let them open it! We won’t stop them. Now that we want to open it, what’s the point of having a meeting? It’s just a Secret Realm, calling dozens of Cabinet Elders to open the Cabinet Elder meeting again is making a mountain out of a molehill!”

“That’s right!”

Wan Tiansheng nodded, “Everyone is busy with a lot of things. If anyone has a different opinion, just say it!”

In the crowd, an old man laughed and said, “I have nothing to say. Everyone should know my disciple, Zhan Hai! He’s about to Ascend to the Sky, the number one on the Hundred Strong List. How about giving him a spot? Old Zhou, how about I offer 2000 merit points?”

Zhou Mingren frowned slightly, glanced at him, and nodded slightly, “Alright!”

There’s no need to offend this person!

This person’s strength is not weak, and Zhan Hai is not from the Multiple Divine Script faction, but a neutral third party. It’s okay to give Zhan Hai a spot.

“My grand-disciple Jiang Mu…”

Another Cabinet Elder spoke!

Zhou Mingren frowned and raised his hand, saying: “Everyone has many students, and we have many students in our lineage! The entire academy has tens of thousands of students, and it’s impossible for them all to enter! Everyone, if you want to open it, open it yourselves. We can only give out 3 spots at most!”

As soon as these words came out, many people frowned.

Wu Yuehua said coldly: “I have 5!”

“None left!”

Zhou Mingren said calmly: “Wu Yuehua, I gave it to you last time, and you know what I meant! But you also know what you did before, so why should I give it to you?”

At this time, would he still help the enemy?

He’s not really stupid!

After saying that, Zhou Mingren looked at the other Cabinet Elders, ignoring the weak ones, and directly said to the several Cabinet Elders whose strength was in the late Mountain and Sea stage: “The few spots that were promised to Wu Yuehua before can be distributed! A total of 8 spots can be given out!”

As soon as these words came out, several Cabinet Elders who were originally preparing to “stand up for injustice” looked at each other and remained silent.

There were only 24 people participating in the meeting in total.

Excluding the Single Divine Script faction, plus Wu Yuehua and the others, there weren’t actually that many people. Dividing up 8 spots was enough for everyone else.

Wu Yuehua’s face turned cold. She also knew that this matter was almost over.

However, she was unwilling to let it go like this, and said directly: “Then you are not allowed to open it! This is a Secret Realm left by the first-generation Academy Head, and it belongs to the Multiple Divine Script faction. The first-generation Academy Head’s student is the third-generation Academy Head, and the third generation’s student is the fifth generation… So, it’s not your turn to make the decision!”

Zhou Mingren said lightly: “The position of Academy Head is passed on to the Academy, not to a specific person! Unless it is the Academy Head’s bloodline, otherwise, teachers and disciples are not passed on!”

After saying that, he added: “The Academy has more than just these Secret Realms. The Single Divine Script faction’s predecessors also left many behind, including the Yuan Qi Secret Realm left by the fourth generation, and the Monster Imprisonment Secret Realm left by the second generation, who came from the Beast Taming Department. According to your statement, none of these can be opened?”

Wu Yuehua was speechless.

Hong Tan smiled and said: “That’s right, Old Zhou is right!”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Yuehua glared at him!

Hong Tan didn’t care. He was used to it. At this moment, Hong Tan said with a smile: “Old Zhou can open the Secret Realm, that’s Old Zhou’s ability! It’s a waste not to open the Secret Realm of Consciousness. It’s great to open it to enhance the strength of the students. I very much agree with Old Zhou’s approach!”

Zhou Mingren ignored him. He could guess that there was no good in it.

“But…”

Hong Tan sighed: “Old Zhou probably forgot that I… am actually the Vice Dean of the Divine Script Academy! In theory, those things that Old Zhou took out are all the private collections of the Divine Script Academy, right? I usually don’t bother to care about these things. After all, I don’t manage anything. The things allocated by the Realm of Seeking, the things allocated by the Great Xia Prefecture, are all for the Academy, for the Academy, and for the students! It has nothing to do with me!”

“Including the students becoming stronger, that’s all the blessing of the Academy and the blessing of the Great Xia Prefecture. I didn’t contribute much, and I don’t want to take advantage of others!”

“But… I’m still the Vice Dean of the Divine Script Academy, right? These things are all considered Academy collections, right? Old Zhou, I think we still have to carefully consider whether to open this Secret Realm. I also have to give my opinion.”

Zhou Mingren didn’t say anything, but Yu Hong frowned and said: “That was earned by the students of our Single Divine Script faction! What does it have to do with you!”

Hong Tan yawned and said: “You’re right, but… I’m from the Single Divine Script faction! The Multiple Divine Script faction has been cancelled, it’s gone. Now the entire Divine Script Academy is the Single Divine Script faction, don’t you know? Elder Yu, have you forgotten? Your memory is really bad. You’re old, so you’re forgetful!”

“…”

Around, the Cabinet Elders were stunned for a moment.

Zhou Mingren also looked at him instantly!

Hong Tan smiled and shrugged, helplessly saying: “I don’t want to, I also want to keep the Multiple Divine Script faction. At that time, you can still say that we are not from the same faction, but now… I can’t help it. The Multiple Divine Script faction is gone. If I’m not from the Single Divine Script faction, am I still from the Multiple Divine Script faction? Then why don’t you restore the Multiple Divine Script department for me, and then allocate a few genius students to me, and give me all the benefits of building a department that should be given.”Hong Tan laughed and said, “According to the academy’s rules, just the existence of a department requires an annual allocation of tens of thousands of merit points, right? You also get free myriad race cultivation techniques, and have to allocate teaching staff and instructors… all of this costs the academy money to organize!”

Hong Tan chuckled, “Now, there are two choices. First, I am part of the Single Divine Script Department, and as Vice Dean, I have the authority to veto everything!”

“Second, restore the Multi-Divine Script Department, rebuild the department, and allocate resources!”

Hong Tan looked at the others and smiled, “Gentlemen, what do you choose?”

The others glared at him coldly!

Damn rules!

Damn regulations!

Did the Multi-Divine Script Department have nothing better to do all day, constantly trying to apply them to this situation!

Hong Tan was right; they only had these two choices now.

Restore the Multi-Divine Script Department?

Are you kidding me!

Why was this department eliminated in the first place?

To suppress them. The existence of factions would divert some of the Divine Script Academy’s resources, including some research institutes, archives, medicine allocations, divine talisman allocations, weapon allocations…

Su Yu had never thought of these things; he didn’t have them!

Actually, he did!

As a freshman, upon entering the academy and beginning nurturing, students were entitled to some benefits; this was the normal treatment that students received.

Otherwise, some ordinary students wouldn’t survive.

Where would they get the money to buy literary weapons!

Where would they get the money to buy elixirs and divine talismans!

These things were allocated in certain amounts, provided there was a faction. But the Multi-Divine Script Department was gone. Su Yu, if he was shameless enough, could follow Hong Tan’s example, claim to be part of the Single Divine Script Department, and demand these things.

Right now, Hong Tan was doing just that.

His smile was incredibly bright!

The elimination of the Multi-Divine Script Department meant they had completely lost external resource support. Allocations from the academy, the Great Xia Prefecture, and the Seeking Realm wouldn’t reach them. Everything they used now was their own.

In that case… I’ll just be an elder of the Single Divine Script Department.

Wan Tiansheng smiled without saying a word.

Xia Changqing also remained silent, and Su Ziming simply closed his eyes to rest.

Zhou Mingren gave him a deep look and said faintly, “Then how many slots do you want!”

“20!”

“Hmph!”

Several elders simultaneously snorted. What an outrageous demand, dreaming!

Zhou Mingren remained silent for a moment, then said, “3, that’s the limit! Also, Su Yu is not allowed to enter!”

Hong Tan said coldly, “Why!”

Three slots were not few!

Of course, he had to share those 3 with others, such as Wu Yuehua and the others; they might not get a slot this time.

But Su Yu was someone he had been planning to send in before.

Zhou Mingren said calmly, “Su Yu has repeatedly offended his teachers! Since you say you are an elder of the Single Divine Script Department, then the Divine Script Academy has no factions. In that case, are we Su Yu’s teachers?”

“If that’s the case, shouldn’t he be punished for repeatedly offending his teachers?”

Hong Tan frowned, “How did he offend you? Is he going to point his finger at you and curse you out? Is he going to climb on your head and take a dump?”

Zhou Mingren said faintly, “As the dean, I will not allow him to enter! Is that enough? If you don’t think it’s appropriate, then let’s shelve this matter for further discussion!”

Hong Tan frowned!

Not allowing Zhou Mingren to open the secret realm at this time would offend not only the Single Divine Script Department, but also those elders who might get a slot.

But not letting Su Yu in…

Hong Tan’s expression changed. Zhou Mingren suddenly thought of something and smiled, “Don’t blame me for not giving him a chance! And don’t say I’m not giving other academy students a chance! I will take out 3 slots and organize a competition within the academy, with the winners getting the slots! The top three can get them!”

“Since Su Yu is so confident, he can just participate in the competition himself!”

He didn’t want to really make it impossible to open the secret realm, so he was giving Hong Tan a way out, giving him a chance!

The key was, could he seize it?

Liu Hong’s suggestion was feasible.

If Su Yu wasn’t given any chance at all, Hong Tan might make trouble.

“A competition?”

Wan Tiansheng became interested and said, “Old Zhou, a competition to win slots, that’s good! How about the academy subsidizes 10,000 merit points, so your department doesn’t have to contribute. And we’ll take out two more slots, making it 5! In addition, we’ll also provide some other rewards, which is pretty good. The academy hasn’t had a competition like this in a long time. The top hundred are all under 30 years old, so I think you mean to give the older students a chance as well, right?”

“Correct!”

Zhou Mingren nodded, that was what he meant.

Wan Tiansheng smiled, “Then that’s 5 slots, with the academy subsidizing 10,000 merit points. What do you think?”

Zhou Mingren frowned slightly, and after a long while, nodded, “Okay!”

“That’s good!”

So that was 5 slots, giving Hong Tan 3, and the other elders 8, giving up 16 slots at once.

Zhou Mingren was unwilling to back down any further at this point, and said faintly, “That’s the way it is. If we can open it, we will, if we can’t, we won’t! The remaining 34 slots, we opened ourselves, so if anyone is still watching them, then forget it!”

Wan Tiansheng smiled, “Old Hong, why don’t we do it this way? Su Yu is not weak, I still support the students fighting for the slots themselves! Take the 3 that are given to you. If you really make it impossible to open, the whole academy will lose out, and the students won’t be happy. There’s no need to cause the entire academy to denounce you; that’s not good.”

Hong Tan frowned, and after a long while, said, “Okay, but 3 is a bit too few, it’s not enough! 5, not including Su Yu!”

Wu Yuehua, Fan Jin, He Qi, and Chen Li were the 4 elders who had previously participated in the war and were supporting the Multi-Divine Script Department. They obviously wouldn’t get any slots this time, so Hong Tan had to give each of them one, leaving one for himself to give to Wu Jia.

Otherwise, he would be embarrassed to face them.

Everyone knew what he meant. Zhou Mingren was about to refuse, but Wu Yuehua said coldly, “Fine, just 3! From now on, the Divine Pill Academy will no longer sell any pills to other academies!”

“The Divine Talisman Academy is the same!”
“Just like the Beast Taming Academy!”

“…”

Several Senior Pavilion Elders spoke one after another. He Qi chuckled and said, “If you don’t want to give them, then so be it, we don’t want them either! Would we die without one or two spots? Can’t we cultivate without entering the Sea of Consciousness Secret Realm? You guys in the Divine Script Department, don’t use our demon beasts anymore, and don’t use our divine pills and divine talismans! I’ll contact the Weapon Forging Academy later. You guys are so powerful, using divine scripts to fight is enough! What do you need external objects for!”

Zhou Mingren chuckled, “He Qi, if you want spots, that’s fine, 5,000 merit points per spot, and we can add two more for you!”

After saying that, he said lightly, “We also have to spend resources, buying your elixirs, divine talismans, and demon beasts isn’t free, is it?”

As soon as he said that, Hong Tan said directly, “Okay! Then add another 10,000 merit points for two more spots, making it five!”

Wu Yuehua was about to scold him, but Hong Tan shook his head slightly.

It was already the limit!

10,000 merit points it is!

I don’t have them, but it doesn’t matter, Wu Yuehua has them, lend me some, and I’ll pay, and I’ll pay you back when I have the money.

Wan Tiansheng also smiled, “Then that’s settled, everyone’s happy! By the way, for the Ten Thousand Races students, there’s no need to give them spots, but they can participate in the competition. Don’t be too exclusive, and also weigh the strength of our students!”

Everyone had no objections, and Zhou Mingren had no objections either, which was great. He had been planning to have them face Su Yu before, so it would be a pity if they didn’t come!

After saying that, Wan Tiansheng smiled faintly, “In addition, Zheng Yuming and Bai Feng will go to the Battlefield of the Heavens next month and enter the vanguard camp. Zheng Yuming can return after killing one Mountain and Sea Realm expert, and Bai Feng needs to kill 10 Soaring Realm experts! Disputes are disputes, but you must also bear the cost! Bai Feng killed someone outside the academy, so I won’t say anything. The Xia family created some war zone, and I’m too lazy to get involved. Within the academy… if I find someone dead, I will severely punish them!”

No one responded.

Wan Tiansheng got up, as if he was about to leave.

Just then, Old Nie smiled and said, “Dean, wait a moment!”

“Oh, is there anything else?”

Wan Tiansheng sat down, and Old Nie smiled, “It’s like this, Zhao Ming, everyone knows him, right? He came to me a few days ago, saying that he was being suppressed and that the Supervisory Court was interfering with the academy’s fairness!”

Old Nie smiled, looked at the Dean of the Supervisory Court over there, and said, “Old He, the garrisons of the various secret realms, the Hundred Strong Building, the library, the Supervisory Court, the Guards… these places do not participate in any disputes! The purpose of the Supervisory Court is to supervise the academy’s discipline, but a supervisor removed Zhao Ming’s position as referee and temporarily replaced him with Liu Hong… this is not appropriate!”

Old Nie looked at Old He, the Dean of the Supervisory Court, and said with a smile, “Old He, you’re getting old, and you’re probably not up to the task. You’ve forgotten the promise we made together back then! Resign from the position of Dean of the Supervisory Court!”

Elder He remained silent and didn’t say anything.

Xia Changqing hadn’t spoken all this time, but frowned at this moment and said, “I have already punished Xia Yuwen…”

Xia Yuwen was still seriously injured. He had put in a lot of effort to get Xia Yuwen into the Supervisory Court.

Before he could finish speaking, Old Nie smiled, “Dean Xia, this matter has nothing to do with you! The Supervisory Court and the secret realm garrisons are not led by the Vice Dean. Old He, retire! Rest easy, or plant some flowers and grass. Step down, we have already discussed the Supervisory Court. Old Huang will take over, so don’t take up the position anymore. Old Huang and I have been together for many years, let him have the thrill of being a Pavilion Elder too.”

We’ve already discussed it!

The so-called “we” naturally wouldn’t include the people present.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.

The Secret Realm Area, the Guards… these places are not under the command of the Pavilion Elders, but directly under the Dean’s command. However, the Dean generally doesn’t interfere with them. These people are a system composed of disciples, followers, and neutral people left by the past Deans.

They are the true arbitrators!

Existing to maintain the fairness of the academy.

Even if they favor some people, they won’t go too far. Including Su Yu, Elder Huang and Elder Nie are very optimistic about him, but they didn’t directly help him in any way, because the rules are there.

As for the token allowing entry into the secret realm, that is the right of the descendants of the Fourth Generation, and they cannot interfere with that.

In the crowd, Elder He sighed lightly and nodded, “I understand, Old Nie, I’ll have Old Huang take over from me later. These years, I have indeed been feeling a bit overwhelmed in the Supervisory Court.”

“Good!”

Old Nie smiled and looked at Wan Tiansheng, and said with a smile, “Dean, what do you think? Old Huang is quite strong and is also a veteran Soaring Realm Ninth Level…”

Wan Tiansheng smiled, “Up to you! If you have no objections here, then I will report it to the Yuqiang Department and the Seeking Realm, and it’s settled!”

“Okay, I’m done!”

Old Nie smiled, then looked at Xia Changqing and said, “Dean Xia, we don’t care what Xia Yuwen is fighting for, or what he wants to do. It has nothing to do with us, just follow the academy’s rules! However, the Supervisory Court cannot be led by the Vice Dean. When you become the official Dean, the Seventh Generation Dean, we will naturally lean towards you and support your decision. Before that, don’t interfere anymore.”

Xia Changqing frowned slightly, “I don’t mean to do that!”

“I know, and I understand.”

Old Nie smiled, “Just a reminder to Dean Xia, we are also here to stabilize the existence of the academy, and everything is still to serve the Xia family. The Xia family should not undermine its own foundation. If you don’t have the power to seize power in this generation, then will other members of the Xia family want to seize power in the next generation? Can we still maintain fairness? Will it be like it is now? Dean Xia, the Dean’s competition should be open and aboveboard, and no one will stop you. If Xia Yuwen really has the ability to become the Dean, we will naturally support him wholeheartedly!”

“Including the Demon Suppression Army, the Dragon Martial Guard… they are all to serve the Dean. Corrupting them now will only mess up the Xia family and the Great Xia Prefecture. Don’t really think that the Xia Prefecture Lord and the Old Great Xia King are immovable!”

Old Nie said a few words, got up, and left.
Hong Tan, after Nie left, chuckled and said, “That old Nie, still the same temper. But it’s true, Governor Xia, it’s not good for family members to undermine their own family! Xia Yuwen should just be a good inspector in the Supervisory Yuan, why provoke this group of old fogeys? There’s no need!”

Schadenfreude!

Very obvious!

Xia Changqing didn’t say anything, feeling rather helpless. He was also having a headache. Xia Yuwen still hadn’t recovered. The Xia family wasn’t lacking in treasures to heal him, but the problem wasn’t physical wounds, but emotional ones!

Now, the Secret Realm garrison had begun to fight back, and he couldn’t say anything. Last time Yuwen interfered in the Hundred Strong Arena, Zhao Ming was easy to deal with, but he turned out to be someone who specialized in reporting, a real cling-on. Once you get stuck with him, it’s hard to shake him off!

Now, the president of the Supervisory Yuan, whom he had just won over, had been directly removed!

The meeting was about to end when Hong Tan suddenly said, “Oh right, the matter of the Library Director being promoted to Elder…”

Wan Tiansheng glanced at him, and while getting up, said, “Regarding the Library, the Secret Realm area wants to bring it into their system. Are you sure you want Chen Yong to be promoted? Even if he is, he’ll have to leave the Multi-God Writing lineage. Is he willing?”

Hong Tan gave a sheepish smile and said, “Forget it! But I’m saying this in advance, if Chen Yong isn’t suitable, and others are promoted, they have to follow the same rules!”

Wan Tiansheng was too lazy to reply.

Zhou Mingren didn’t care. Their goal was to support Xia Yuwen’s promotion, but they didn’t even know what state Xia Yuwen was in.

If Xia Yuwen gets promoted, there won’t be any factional disputes.

Xia Yuwen’s goal is becoming a Prefecture Lord, not a Governor.

As for Chen Yong, if he wants to be promoted to Elder, he can think about it when he reaches the Mountain and Sea realm. Right now, unless he gives up his identity and joins a neutral third-party faction, there’s no chance.

After everyone else left, Hong Tan sighed in relief.

Thankfully, everything went smoothly. It’s just Su Yu… there’s no other way, I’ll figure it out myself. Your grandmaster has done his best!
