After hearing Zhao Yunya's explanation, Huang Xiao understood. The Commandery Princess and the others had originally intended to give up on the position of Arrest Sage. But to keep Huang Qitao somewhat in check, they had devised the position of Inspector, hoping to secure it and thereby oversee and supervise the constables of the Six Gates.
"Huang Qitao probably never imagined that Brother Huang would defeat the Pure Land Sect's candidate in the end and win the position of Arrest Sage. I bet he was stamping his feet with rage!" Zhao Xin'er covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Hard to say. He's an expert, after all. Even if he was furious inside, he probably wouldn't have shown it," Zhao Yunhui couldn't help joking.
"Whether Huang Qitao was furious or not, things have worked out now. Lord Huang won the position of Arrest Sage, so what does it matter if Tuoba Xing became Inspector?" Zhao Yunya said.
Huang Xiao nodded. His winning the position of Arrest Sage had taken Huang Qitao and the others by surprise. Of course, he had also lived up to the expectations of the Commandery Princess and the others.
"Still, Tuoba Xing won't be so easy to deal with. Now that he's Inspector, he can legitimately monitor the constables of the Six Gates. It's like having a pair of invisible eyes constantly hovering behind us. It really does feel like a thorn in the back," Huang Xiao said.
"Let him make a fuss for now. We can't say the Six Gates has no rotten members. As far as I know, there are quite a few. If we take this opportunity to clear some of them out, that would be a good thing for the Six Gates. Of course, you'll have to judge how far to let things go.
