The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 115

Elder Ying had already sat down and closed his eyes. He has no intention of speaking further. When he heard Wang Li's interrogative words, his anger boiled back.    

Elder Ying rolled his eyes, “What's 'increasing the alarm to scare people'? I guess I'm not exaggerating anything.”    

Wang Li spoke loudly, “It is true that the Long family has the right to move troops, and their influence threatens their master. But our Hall only runs business. We are only seeking profit, not power. How can we be equated with Long family business?”    

“Hahaha..” Elder Ying laughed loudly. “The people from the Eastern clan should be the ones to trust your words. It is not difficult for you to persuade me and the people in the Hall who are very excited — however, it will be very difficult for you to persuade the royal family.”    

Elder Ying's words made perfect sense. After the events of the Long family, the royal family would definitely be like a bird struck by the twang of a bowstring. They absolutely would not allow the second Long family to appear.    

“Our hall has always had a good reputation, how could the royal family not realize it?” Wang Li said coldly.    

“Our reputation is indeed good. And that's because our Hall has never extended to the entire duchy, and has not extended our reach too far. This is due to the fact that our Hall knows our place, and when to retreat and advance. We are not expanding blindly. If we expand blindly in the future, only God knows what will happen to our reputation. Moreover, is it not the pure will of the responsible person that determines whether or not we are really just in business? If the person who has control over the Healing Hall has little ambition, and makes some moves in the dark, it might be easier for them to form a power like the Long Family than the original.”    

“Omong empty. You make a nasty assumption. It's throwing dirt on your own face, Elder Ying! Are you already the Hall elder again?” Wang Li was furious.    

Elder Blue also shouted loudly, “Some people like to become famous by making a shocking statement – like a master, like a slave. You are all cut from the same cloth.”    

Elder Blue's crosshairs had once again been locked onto Qiao Baishi.    

Elder Ying was furious as he slammed his hand onto the table. “You are surnamed Blue, I have tolerated you for more than a day or two now. Old lady, you finally explained everything clearly. What master, what slave?! You are always cynical every day, as if afraid no one knows that your tongue is shaped like a viper.”    

“Ying Wuyou, don't be so hard on me! You are the slave of Qiao Baishi, alright. You said many things just because you were jealous of Fourth Principal – jealous because he is the best person at the moment – jealous because he replaced your master!” Elder Blue decided to reveal everything.    

Ying Wuyou nodded his head viciously. “Alright, good. Real good. Since we've reached this point, let's see what your downfall is. If our future depended on a mediocre person like you, then the foundation of the Hall, built over hundreds of years, would definitely be destroyed within twenty years! I jealous? What is the envy of someone who can't even see the bigger picture? You are right, I am Qiao Baishi's friend, and his loyal supporter. It's not because of personal relationships, but because I really appreciate his character and admire his skills. Unlike you, who defended the people belonging to your faction alone, and attacked others who were not members of your faction. You are a tuft of grass that is easily swayed by the wind. If Lord Hallmaster listened to you last time, and bowed to the Long family, then you won't even have the chance to stand here today or flap your lips.”    

Ying Wuyou turned to Song Tianxing and said firmly, “Since these words have been spoken, I will speak clearly, Lord Hallmaster. I've also got an answer to your second question. In this entire vast hall, no one could fill the void created by Qiao Baishi. No one could clean up the aftermath, unless Qiao Baishi returned! It is ridiculous that these people sit here and talk confidently and calmly, but do not realize that Hall is facing a very big crisis.”    

"Crisis? Ying Wuyou, stop being a worried and crying wolf! Will our Hall be completely destroyed without Qiao Baishi?” Second Hallmaster Yue Qun was also displeased as he said.    

Elder Blue scoffed, “So the saying that one fan is enough to negate the criticism of ten fans is true. Ying Wuyou, you really are one of those brainless Qiao Baishi fanboys. You really attach great importance to Qiao Baishi. Is Lord Hallmaster not as important as Qiao Baishi in your heart?”    

It had to be said that this woman had a talent for chatting, and was quite skilled at making a split among people.    

However, as a Lord Hallmaster, how would Song Tianxing accept this action? He spoke with a dark face, “Stop that shit. Let's discuss the second question since Elder Ying mentioned it.”    

Ying Wuyou smiled faintly, “Master Hall, there is not much I need to discuss. I've already said that no one can replace Qiao Baishi. I feel like there is a burden missing from my shoulders now that I have expressed my opinion. To be honest, I plan to resign after today. The future of the Hall has nothing to do with me, but the Hall has nurtured me since I was young, and I have a great affection towards the Hall. I said those words not out of personal grudge, but because I was really thinking about the future of the Hall. Lord Hallmaster, it is you who will decide how the Hall will proceed. However, I would like to say that Wang Li is not a qualified successor, and that a narrow-minded woman like Elder Blue, who relies on selling her centile charm and nepotism, is, it was even more unsuitable to remain in the position of an elder. The more these people, the narrower the future of the Hallway.”    

The resignation? The other senior executives are leaving?    

Other than Wang Li's faction, there were still some neutral factions within the Hall. They were extremely shocked when they heard that Ying Wuyou also resigned, and also vaguely felt that this was inappropriate.    

Why did people leave the place one after another at a time when the Hall was getting more prosperous with each passing day?    

Could it be that there was something wrong with the Hall?    

"Return? Haha, why didn't you say that you can no longer continue your position?” The Blue Elder laughed coldly. “Without your master Qiao Baishi supporting you, you have no place left in the Hall, right? By sounding a false alarm, you want to cause confusion in the Hall before you leave, right?”    

Ying Wuyou let out a cold laugh and his gaze was completely fearless, as he swept it openly and honestly to everyone gathered. “Everyone, I, Ying Wuyou, have a clear conscience. It's kind of boring flapping my lips on this woman. I will only say one last thing, and with Qiao Baishi gone, the three medicinal pills will also stop its production. All orders we receive will be cancelled, and the reputation of our Hall will also be greatly affected. Under these circumstances, these people only think of ways to expand our influence, without thinking of ways to clean up the mess. Are they the ones with no brains, or am I just the ones who worry?”    

Ying Wuyou was about to leave, and did not hesitate about anything. He had placed all his cards on the table, and caused absolute silence to occur.    

Song Tianxing's most alarming worry was finally revealed by Ying Wuyou.    

"What's? You mean Heavenly Karma Pill, Broad Ocean Pill, and One Buddha Powder? Did Lord Hallmaster not know of their recipe?”    

“Qiao Baishi plays this hand? This is really too..”    

"Impossible? All those orders belonged to various influential powers in the kingdom. None of them are good targets to offend.”    

“Master Hallmaster, is this true? This... isn't this too silly?”    

Song Tianxing sighed lightly, “This is why I asked the second question. Qiao Baishi did indeed have exclusive knowledge of the three pill recipes. I'm not involved in this either.”    

Since Qiao Baishi was in charge of refining these three pill recipes, then as someone behind the scenes, Lord Hall should have known about it naturally as well.    

This is a familiar and familiar line of thought.    

However, Ying Wuyou's words had ruthlessly pierced their straightforwardness and pierced through their daydreams.    

Even the Lord Hallmaster had yet to comprehend the three spirit medicines.    

Undoubtedly, this was a bolt of lightning from the blue sky.    

The expansion of the region and scale mentioned above, had been built on the basis of these three pill medicines. Without these three pill medicines, what was the difference between the Hall now and before? On what basis and with what revenue do they expand?    

They're dumbfounded. Even Wang Li was slightly dumbfounded.    

Yue Qun was also flabbergasted as he muttered to himself, “Lord Hall, wasn't this contract signed with young duke Jiang Han? As long as we continue our partnership with young duke Jiang.”    

Song Tianxing laughed wryly, “Continue our partnership with young duke Jiang? That's easy to answer. Have you seen that the current actions of the Jiang family are quite strange? This action is clearly the beginning of the disappearance of the Eastern Kingdom.”    

"Indeed. I heard that the Eastern clan wanted to establish four new grand dukes, and nominate the Jiang family as the first duke, but was respectfully rejected by the Jiang family.”    

“This Jiang family can destroy the Soaring Dragon Duke – why did they pay attention to the first ducal title? Could it be that the Jiang family is hiding rebellious intentions?”    

Song Tianxing was in emotional turmoil as he stretched out his hand, “Stop chasing the wind and cling to the shadows. The Jiang family's actions were to avoid following in the footsteps of the Long family, and to avoid the ruler's worries with their influence. Moreover, the Jiang family appreciates our Hall because of Qiao Baishi.”    

Elder Blue felt somewhat disappointed when he thought of Jiang Chen. He did not give his face at all the first time he came to the Healing Hall.    

Later, the Blue Elder pinched his nose and suffered through many things for the sake of cooperation.    

When he heard Song Tianxing's words, he hurriedly said, “We signed the contract. If the Jiang family cancels his contract, then we can sue for their damages!”    

Ying Wuyou snorted while laughing coldly and felt that this Elder Blue was really stupid. The Hall of Healing had begged Jiang Chen to sign the contract. Was there really something in the contract that would give Hall the opportunity to sue?    

When asking someone to sign a contract, would they dig a trap for themselves? Of course they can leave whenever they want. Sue? An indemnity? This woman is more than usual stupid.    

Yue Qun's old face also became stupid as he smiled. “It seems that the crux of the problem lies with the young duke Jiang Han. We have to lick the Jiang family.”    

Song Tianxing laughed sadly. Licking the Jiang family? They should give you a chance first. If the Jiang family really cared about this partnership, wouldn't they have sent out its representatives for a month that had passed?    

The Jiang family had not even sent a servant. This showed that the Jiang family was not at all interested in this partnership.    

“Master Hall, why don't we send someone to Jiang Han territory?” Wang Li asked with full investigation.    

“Send someone? Are you ready to go?” Song Tianxing asked.    

Wang Li puffed out his chest. “Usaha humans can achieve anything. Although this mission is a bit difficult, I am willing to try for the sake of the future Hall.”    

His determination was good, and Song Tianxing could not bear to deny it. She was just about to agree, when Ying Wuyou smiled faintly beside her. “If Fourth Principal meets Qiao Baishi on this trip, how will you react?”    

“Qiao Baishi?” Everyone was so surprised. Qiao Baishi's movements became erratic after he left. Could it be that he flocked to Jiang Han's banner?    

Even Song Tianxing was a little surprised.    

“Wuyou, you mean Qiao Baishi is in Jiang Han territory?” Song Tianxing asked seriously.    

"Indeed. He once told me, before he resigned, that if he left the Hall, he would only look for Jiang Chen, and would not go anywhere else.” Ying Wuyou let out a light sigh.    

“This...” Everyone was dumbfounded and speechless.    

If Qiao Baishi was in the Jiang Han territory, this meant that he had a strong relationship with Jiang Chen. If the Hall were to send someone at this moment, then they would invite contempt upon themselves!
