"Brother Guo, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don't be too deep. This matter was explained by the higher-ups. It must be resolved today. You can't do it unless you express your position."
Elder Du, who was in charge of this shift, knocked on the table and stared at Elder Guo.
Elder Guo raised his eyelids and said, "Since Elder Du knows that the result will be announced today, why do you three say such useless words?"
Elder Hong glared and said, "What are you talking about? Do you mean that what the three of us said is nonsense?"
Elder Wu said, "Lao Guo, if you hadn't been pretending to be a bear this time, would there have been such a mess? I still can't figure it out. As a team leader, you can actually remain motionless and silent under such circumstances. Pang Family is it really that scary?"
This hit Elder Guo's nerves. He slapped the table and said, "It's not anyone else's turn to comment on how the person named Guo behaves."
The stronger the reaction, the more it shows that he is extremely sensitive to this matter.
In fact, until Xu Yi left, Elder Guo couldn't believe that everything he heard was true.
He refused to pay attention to Xu Yi. In fact, he didn't have much mental activity. He just felt that this guy was too jumpy and was uneasy. On the other hand, he really didn't want to offend Pang Family for Xu Yi.
It's not that he's afraid of the Pang Family, it's just that he has a mentality that doing more is worse than doing less. To put it bluntly, he is slacking in government, unwilling to cause trouble, and unwilling to interfere with things.
He has been like this since Zheng Yi. As for whether his disciples will be wronged, it is not within his scope of consideration. What can he do if he is wronged? He just has to endure it.
He just rushed out to be such a ghost as Xu Yi, which made him completely unable to get off the stage and became a complete laughing stock.
How has his dignified Two Forget Peak Middle Executive Elder ever suffered this?
If he had known that the consequences would be so serious, he would dare to fight even if Pang Daojun were to offend Pang Family.
However, it was too late to say anything now. The regret in his heart had been deeply buried, and what was piled on top of the regret was the overwhelming anger towards Xu Yi.
What happened in the square at that time also became a negative reaction for him. Anyone who touched him would make him fall out.
Seeing that Elder Guo and Elder Wu were about to fall out as soon as they said two words, Elder Du hurriedly smoothed things over, "Okay, I won't wait for a while, Old Ancestor and the others are still waiting for the result."
Elder Du and even "Old Ancestor" have been lifted out. It would be too risky to push it down again.
Elder Guo said with a sullen face, "Now that things have happened, what else can we do? We can only go along with him. This man has ulterior motives. If he doesn't go along with it, who knows what troubles he will make. No matter how angry you are, you should first get over the current hurdle. There will be plenty of opportunities to control him."
He must have hated Xu Yi, otherwise he wouldn't have been so excited that he expressed his true feelings in front of others.
On the other hand, he is also the strongest advocate among the four for peace talks with Xu Yi.
Because once the talks break down, things will inevitably escalate into a big mess. Once the situation gets bigger, the higher authorities will definitely ask for liquidation. Once the liquidation happens, he will be the first to bear the consequences. He was the leader at the beginning, but he did not contribute when it was his duty to do so. He did not control the situation when it was his time to control it. He would not be able to accept such a result.
Elder Hong said, "By the way, no matter how you go by, is it possible that we agree that he will be directly promoted to the third generation of disciples? Still shameless, let's do this, I abstain, any one of you can agree, but don't pull me."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.
This is indeed a problem. Xu Yi wants too much and we can't give it to you. If we give it, there will be no discipline and no face.
Even Elder Guo would not relent on this issue. Let a guy who has just been promoted to a disciple become a disciple of the third generation in an instant. Once this kind of thing happens, there will be no discussion.
"I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
Elder Qian Feng Qian, who was sitting at the end of the table, suddenly spoke.
The biological chain of each major monastery is as follows: test disciples, Outer Sect Disciple, third generation Inner Sect Disciple (guru), elders, supervising elders, Middle Executive Elder, Old Ancestor.
Among them, the three generations Inner Sect Disciple, elders, and elders in charge, these three levels are actually the same level. They only differ in seniority and authority. They treat each other as equals.
Qian Feng is the elder in charge of the Internal Affairs Hall, and his status is not low, but he still has no qualifications to speak in front of Middle Executive Elder. Therefore, after he came to report, although he took a seat, he could only watch everyone arguing and could not say a word. But now that the situation was frozen, he thought it was an opportunity, maybe he could make a small contribution.
Moreover, he believed that at this time, if he spoke out to break the silence, he would not offend any Middle Executive Elder.
Sure enough, just after he finished speaking, Elder Du said, "You say, you say, speak freely, what can you do, no matter whether it is appropriate or not, the speaker is not guilty."
As a rotating elder, he is actually under the greatest pressure, and he is extremely looking forward to finding a proper way to solve the dead situation that is about to fall into an unsolvable situation.
Inspired by this, Elder Qian was shocked and said, "Xu Yi's request to enter the inner disciples in one step is of course an rude request, but we only need to add a few conditions to make this rude request a reasonable request. I don't know what you elders think."
The reason why these elders refused to agree is no longer because they dislike Xu Yi. After all, due to the strict orders of the Old Ancestor above, all kinds of psychological discomfort must make way for things to be done.
But because they agree to harm their interests, this interest is face. Any disagreement within the sect must be directed at several of their decision-makers. Once face is hurt, prestige will drop, and the consequences of the drop in prestige are unpredictable.
Although Qian Feng only said half of what he said, it clearly went to the core of the problem. If once Xu Yi's request was reasonable and they agreed, there would be no problem of hurting face and prestige.
"Go on, go on, you are worthy of being the elder in charge of the Internal Affairs Hall. He thinks things through very carefully."
The four Middle Executive Elder praised him one after another.
Qian Feng said, "Xu Yi has always prided himself on being a genius. A few elders might as well tell him this, just say that he entered Inner Sect Disciple without any reason. There is no precedent. There is only one way. That is to open a convenient door for special geniuses. You Xu Yi want to step into the ranks of inner disciples, but you must prove that you are a special genius. And the way to prove it is to publish Ding Wen."
"Under normal circumstances, for Outer Sect Disciple to enter Inner Sect Disciple, he needs ten Ding Wen articles of second grade or above. Since he is a genius, this should be no problem. Give him a time and set it for three months. With Xu Yi's proud character, he will definitely agree to this strategy. What do you elders think?"
With a flick of the brush, the eyes of the four elders all lit up.
"Wonderful, the most important thing for us is the present. The pressure from above is really too tight. As long as time drags on and the heat passes, let's see how much more effort he can make. Even if no one pays attention to it, it will only be in vain."
Elder Hong shot the case.
