Dongling Rui didn't care what the people present were thinking; he felt that Gongliang Che's suggestion was exactly what he wanted.
However, Dongling Rui also knew how difficult it would be to accomplish this.
After all, if Gongliang Bo himself refused to go, the three Peak Grandmaster of the Dongling family might not be able to force him to go.
He then nodded approvingly at Gongliang Che and asked the crowd, "What do you all think of Protector Gongliang Che's proposal?"
Gongliang Che felt Dongling Rui's praise and immediately felt much lighter.
Upon hearing Dongling Rui's statement, Grandmaster present agreed with Gongliang Che's proposal.
They also knew that it would be difficult to get Gongliang Bo to agree to this punishment.
However, these are not things they need to worry about.
All they need to do is agree to the proposal and avoid offending Dongling Rui and Gongliang Che.
Seeing that everyone present agreed to the proposal, Dongling Rui gave Dongling Qing a wink.
Dongling Qing understood and stood up, asking the crowd, "Does anyone have any further suggestions?"
Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they had no suggestions.
Although it is now a foregone conclusion that Dongling Rui will obtain the position of Palace Master.
However, don't forget that Gongliang Bo is not someone to be trifled with.
If he deliberately targets you, you won't have a good ending either.
Among the Grandmaster present, there must be Gongliang Bo's spies.
Gongliang Che immediately said, "I propose that we hold a banquet to celebrate the ascension of the Lord of Dongling Palace."
The people present then realized what was happening and echoed Gongliang Che's suggestion.
The proposal was quickly decided, and a banquet was to be held that evening to celebrate Dongling Rui's ascension to the position of Palace Master. Only then did Dongling Rui announce the adjournment of the meeting with satisfaction.
Not long after everyone had left, Gongliang Che reappeared in front of the council hall.
Dongling Rui, Dongling Heng, and Dongling Qing were all waiting in the hall for Gongliang Che to arrive.
As soon as Gongliang Che entered the hall, a fawning smile appeared on his face as he looked at the three people in the hall.
"Alright, the reason I called you here is to carry out the task of punishing Gongliang Bo by making him guard the Ancestral Tomb," Dongling Rui said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Gongliang Che was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground.
He knew in his heart that Gongliang Bo would definitely find out about his betrayal.
If he dares to appear before Gongliang Bo, he might very well be taken away by Gongliang Bo in a fit of anger and used as a cultivation resource.
Asking him to carry out this task now, to persuade Gongliang Bo to accept this punishment, is isn't that sending him into the tiger's den?
"Don't be afraid. You're so obedient, how could I let you die so easily?" Dongling Qing glanced at Gongliang Che, who was very handsome.
I don't know what's going on with this Gongliang Che, it doesn't resemble the Gongliang Tang at all.
You should know that Gongliang Tang's appearance was truly beyond description, not just ugly.
But his son grew up to be incredibly handsome. Is this a case of things going to extremes and then reversing?
Before, when Gongliang Che's father was still alive, it wasn't convenient for her to make a move on him. But now, well... hehe!
Gongliang Qing smiled as he thought of the wonderful idea.
Gongliang Che understood Dongling Qing's meaning and was immediately overjoyed. He quickly approached Dongling Qing and said, "Yes, yes! I will definitely listen to Elder Qing."
"Alright, let's put everything else aside for now. Just follow the plan I gave you, Gongliang Bo will definitely give in. Go and invite the Grandmaster of Gongliang Bo and Gongliang Chu's lineage to come and attend the banquet."
"Tell them that if they come to the banquet, their punishment can be waived," Dongling Rui said, glancing at Dongling Qing.
He had no interest in paying attention to Dongling Qing's nonsense; many people in the King Chujiang Hall knew about Dongling Qing's hobbies.
Subsequently, Dongling Rui began to personally instruct Gongliang Che.
Upon hearing this, Gongliang Che lit up with joy. He thought to himself, "Now I can finally sleep soundly."
Because the new temple master will start to give him important responsibilities.
Then, he turned his head to look at Dongling Qing.
Immediately, he became even more excited about the wonderful life that lay ahead.
Although Dongling Qing is ugly, she's incredibly seductive!
Moreover, this is a Peak Grandmaster, so he must know even more.
That evening, a grand banquet was held in the King Chujiang Hall to celebrate Dongling Rui's ascension to the position of Palace Master.
Neither Gongliang Bo nor Gongliang Chu were present.
However, this did not affect Dongling Rui's mood at all.
When Gongliang Bo and others ascended to the position of Palace Master and held a banquet, Dongling Rui also did not attend.
However, all the Grandmaster of the Gongliang family participated, including the Grandmaster of the Gongliang Bo and Gongliang Chu lineages.
After the banquet, Gongliang Che obediently followed Dongling Qing at her prompting.
After attending the celebratory banquet, Gongliang Bo, the Grandmaster of the Gongliang Chu lineage, walked nervously toward Gongliang Bo's residence.
At this moment, Gongliang Bo and Gongliang Chu were sitting in their backyard, drinking together in a pavilion made of sand.
This vast desert area has been transformed into a massive city by the King Chujiang Hall to block the Sand Devouring Serpent's attack.
However, most of the martial artists in the King Chujiang Hall lived in the underground palace.
Only Peak Grandmaster like Gongliang Bo, who is not afraid of the Sand Devouring Serpent's group attacks, can live freely on the ground.
Gongliang Bo frowned when he saw his family's Grandmaster appear before them and asked, "What is it?"
"Palace Master, Dongling Rui has invited us to a celebratory banquet," Gongliang He stammered.
Upon hearing this, Gongliang Chu immediately became furious. "He invited you, and you went? Don't you know he's stepping on the Palace Master to get to the top?"
"But, but, he sent that Gongliang Che to say that if we attend the banquet, we will be exempt from the punishment of having our resources halved."
"Oh? He's that kind?" Gongliang Bo wasn't angry; he just asked with slight curiosity.
It should be noted that what he did to Dongling Rui back then was even more outrageous.
"However, after we arrived, Dongling Rui said that we could be exempted from punishment, but the punishment for the Palace Master could not be exempted."
"So Dongling Rui means he wants me to go to the Ancestral Tomb before he'll spare your punishment?" Gongliang Bo's face turned cold.
"If he dares, we'll fight them to the death!" Gongliang Chu roared.
Gongliang He glanced at Gongliang Bo without saying anything, but his meaning was quite clear.
Even the Grandmaster present could tell what they were thinking from their expressions.
Looking at his relatives in front of him, Gongliang Bo felt a surge of sorrow.
Gongliang He was the son of Gongliang Bo's elder brother. His elder brother died young, and Gongliang Bo had no children.
Therefore, Gongliang Bo has always treated Gongliang He as his own son.
Unexpectedly, he would agree to Dongling Rui's proposal for his own sake.
His other family members also chimed in.
If they disagreed, they wouldn't have come to persuade him or brought up the matter at all.
Gongliang Bo thought about how well he had always treated them, and he never expected them to treat him like this. Gongliang Bo felt even more desolate.
Upon seeing Gongliang Bo's expression, Gongliang Chu immediately knew what he was thinking and hurriedly asked, "Palace Master, you wouldn't really agree, would you!"
"Dongling Rui is completely setting you up. If you actually go, you'll fall into his trap."
Gongliang Bo waved his hand, stopping Gongliang Chu from continuing.
He turned to Gongliang He and said, "I can go to the Ancestral Tomb, but I have a condition."
"If Dongling Rui dares to go back on his word, I will fight him even if it means our mutual destruction."
