Spirit Pagoda Meeting
Spirit Pagoda Meeting is held once a year, and those who can attend the meeting are considered to be the real senior leaders of Spirit Pagoda.
This is not an open meeting, but a small-scale discussion with a strictly limited number of participants.
Vice Tower Master, thirty-six Councilor, plus four Spirit Envoy. Only these people who form the core of Spirit Pagoda's decision-making are eligible to participate in the meeting.
The meeting will be held in the conference room on the top floor of Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.
Although Spirit Pagoda Meeting has high standards, not everyone will participate every year.
For example, Vice Tower Master Zhang Geyang who lives far away from the Star Luo Empire is often absent due to distance.
Another example is that some Branch Tower Master have urgent business to deal with temporarily, so they may ask for leave and not come.
However, the situation at this meeting was very different from previous years.
Because Qiangu Dongfeng and Leng Yaozhu each have their own desires, and each is thinking about promoting what they want at this meeting, the number of candidates participating in the meeting is rare.
Even Vice Tower Master Zhang Geyang, who has been stationed at the Star Luo Empire all year round and rarely returns to the headquarters, made a special trip this time.
Among the thirty-six Councilor, Qiangu Family occupies eleven seats.
Eleven seats equals eleven votes.
In the decision-making mechanism of Spirit Pagoda, every ticket has real weight.
The meeting was held as usual, with Qiangu Dongfeng sitting at the head of the long table as Tower Master, presiding over the entire meeting process.
The first half is not much different from previous years, including each Branch Tower's annual report, Spirit Soul's output statistics, Spirit Pagoda's expansion progress in various parts of the mainland, and a summary of financial revenue and expenditure...
Each routine issue was reviewed, discussed, and voted on one by one, almost calmly.
After all the routine procedures were completed, Qiangu Dongfeng raised his eyes and looked around at everyone present.
He cleared his throat and spoke in an unhurried voice, but it made the atmosphere in the entire conference hall freeze.
"I have a proposal."
"Four Great Spirit Envoys now has a vacancy. As Tower Master, I will not shy away from relatives when I promote talents."
"Propose Qiangu Zhangting to succeed as the new Spirit Envoy."
As soon as these words came out, the conference room fell silent instantly.
Everyone's eyes invariably focused on Qiangu Dongfeng, and then turned to Leng Yaozhu.
Regardless of whether Qiangu Dongfeng's words were out of public or selfish motives, Qiangu Zhangting is his grandson, and this cannot be circumvented no matter what.
However, instead of questioning Qiangu Dongfeng, everyone is more interested in Leng Yaozhu's reaction.
The conflict between the two Vice Tower Master and Tower Master is no longer a secret within Spirit Pagoda.
Ever since Leng Yaozhu made a big fuss in Qiangu Dongfeng's office, the rift between the two has been completely exposed.
At this moment, Qiangu Dongfeng takes the lead in making the move. How Leng Yaozhu will respond has become a drama that everyone wants to watch.
Leng Yaozhu did not disappoint everyone. She was calm but with an unyielding edge. "Not everyone can sit in the seat of Spirit Envoy. Since there are hard conditions, you must abide by them. I remember that Qiangu Zhangting is not Titled Douluo, right?"
Among the appointment criteria for Spirit Pagoda Four Great Spirit Envoys, there is a rigid rule: those who serve as Spirit Envoy must have at least a Titled Douluo level of cultivation.
Qiangu Zhangting Although he has good talent, everyone here knows that he is still a long way from reaching that door.
Leng Yaozhu's objection is reasonable and well-founded.
However, Qiangu Dongfeng's face did not show the slightest panic. Instead, he smiled slightly, as if he had expected that Leng Yaozhu would use this point to make a point.
"Vice Tower Master Leng doesn't know something," he said calmly, "Old Tower Master was released from seclusion not long ago. Under his personal guidance, Zhangting has just broken through Titled Douluo a few days ago."
The moment he said these words, Leng Yaozhu frowned, he really didn't know about this matter.
She didn't answer immediately, but whispers began to sound in the conference room.
These people are no longer concerned about when Qiangu Zhangting will break through Titled Douluo. The promotion of a junior is not worthy of such attention from senior leaders like them.
What really shocked everyone was the five words Qiangu Dongfeng brought out in his understatement.
Old Tower Master is out of quarantine!
The previous one, Spirit Pagoda Tower Master Qiangu Dieting, was a strong person of Quasi-God level.
Now in the entire Spirit Pagoda, he is also recognized as the strongest combat power, and no one can shake it.
Even if such a being does not appear here, his opinions and attitudes are still a force that cannot be ignored.
Now that he is out of isolation, he has personally taught Qiangu Zhangting. What does this mean?
Does it mean that Qiangu Zhangting's successor as messenger is likely to be approved by Old Tower Master?
Everyone here had to reconsider it in their hearts.
Leng Yaozhu took in everyone's expressions and sneered in his heart.
Those eyes flickering, the exchanges, the hesitation to speak... She could see clearly.
After Qiangu Dongfeng threw the card Old Tower Master out of the game, the wind direction in the conference room shifted visibly to the naked eye.
Many people's expressions were already relaxed, and they were even secretly thinking about how to stand in line during the vote later.
The eleven seats of the Qiangu Family were already stable, and now Old Tower Master is joining the ranks. In their opinion, the fact that Qiangu Zhangting will succeed Spirit Envoy is almost a certainty.
Unfortunately, they were happy too early.
Leng Yaozhu raised his eyes, faced Qiangu Dongfeng's face with a calm smile, and spoke unhurriedly, "Since Tower Master has said that virtuous people should not avoid relatives, then I also recommend my disciple Huo Yuhao to become the new Spirit Envoy."
The entire conference room was quiet for another moment.
In the silence at this moment, everyone seemed to have shock and confusion on their faces.
In their opinion, Leng Yaozhu's words were probably forced by Qiangu Dongfeng. They were impulsive remarks made out of anger, without thinking at all.
Vice Tower Master Zhang Geyang is the core figure of Qiangu Faction. He was the first to speak and break the silence.
Zhang Geyang said with a trace of unconcealed cynicism in his tone, "Vice Tower Master Leng, you were still emphasizing the rules just now. Huo Yuhao is only a seventh-ring cultivation level now, not even Soul Douluo. Your proposal is a bit ridiculous."
His words elicited several echoing chuckles, obviously all having the same idea.
Leng Yaozhu didn't even look at these people. She just turned her head, glanced at Zhang Geyang coldly, and replied in an unhurried tone, "Of course I know the rules, and it is precisely because I know that I dare to make this suggestion."
She paused and then said, "Besides Titled Douluo's cultivation level, there is another hard requirement for becoming Spirit Envoy. Those who have made significant contributions to Spirit Pagoda can also be promoted exceptionally."
"This article is written in the seventh paragraph of Article 3 of Spirit Pagoda Charter. Zhang Vice Tower Master will not forget it, right?"
Zhang Geyang narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this and did not answer for a while.
Of course he remembered the additional clause, but he never took it seriously.
The standards for so-called "significant contributions" are vague, and few people can actually reach that threshold.
He was silent for a moment, then spoke again, "Then Vice Tower Master Leng might as well tell you, what significant contribution has your precious apprentice made to Spirit Pagoda? The reputation of being the first genius does not count."
This sentence carries an obvious provocation, and the sarcasm in his tone almost overflows.
Leng Yaozhu just snorted softly, "This is exactly what I am going to say next."
Qiangu Dongfeng's body, which was leaning on the back of the chair, straightened slightly. He looked at Leng Yaozhu's calm face, and the smile in his eyes subsided a little unconsciously.
Based on his understanding of Leng Yaozhu, she has never been the kind of person to make rash moves when she is not sure.
Since she dared to say this in front of everyone, it meant that she was fully prepared.
