Because after Mr. Hu San announced his decision to accept me as a disciple and make me a minister, I became a member of the inner five sects.
Just now, Huang Hongwei wanted to take Huang Yue Lake from me, just under the pretense that I was an outsider. Now, with Mr. Hu San's announcement, the situation has suddenly changed. I have become Mr. Hu San's apprentice, and I am also a minister of the five inner sects.
The responsibilities of this court official are broad, and they mainly deal with prisons, the safety of people in the sect, etc. It can be said that the work content is extensive and covers all matters within the sect.
At that time, his excuse of saying I am an outsider will no longer work.
Seeing his expression, I thought to myself, it seems that this old guy wanted to take advantage of Huang Yue Lake's arrest just now and snatched Huang Yue Lake from my hand. Now that he is at a loss and plans to abstain, he probably won't even express his stance. To abstain.
Seeing that the sect leaders of several sects all agreed to the proposal, Master Hu San looked at everyone.
"I saw everyone's expressions just now. Everyone was confused as to why I suddenly made such a decision."
After he finished speaking, there was silence.
Everyone was looking at Master Hu San at this time, eager to get the answer.
Mr. Hu San said slowly, "My purpose is to make Cheng Yi the liaison person of the internal and external main hall, so that we can strengthen the communication between the five internal and external departments and achieve a strong alliance."
After hearing Mr. Hu San give such an explanation, I understood his intention.
He has said before that a century-old catastrophe for the five inner sects is coming. It seems that Mr. Hu San has a long-term plan. He wants to unite the five inner and outer sects and use me as a matchmaking bridge.
When everyone heard this, some nodded and some were deep in thought.
At this time, someone suddenly broke the silence: "General Hall Master, I have just expressed my opinion that I agree with Cheng Yi as a court minister. However, everyone admits that this is only the first step of the problem. If you want to become a true inner five-door court minister, you still need to pass a test. That’s fine, otherwise, it’s against the rules of the sect.”
I saw that the person speaking was a man from the Gray Sect. This guy was wearing gray clothes. He was short and looked rather wretched.
I was a little unhappy when I heard him say that tests were still needed.
In fact, I am not very interested in serving as a minister of the five inner and outer gates, but I never dreamed that Mr. Hu San would put this task of connecting the five inner and outer gates on me.
I heard that you have to pass the test before you can take up the position, so it's not necessary. I didn't take the initiative to be the one who broke the imperial court, so why should I accept your test?
I pondered and said nothing, thinking about the reasons for my rejection.
Master Hu San nodded towards the person from the Gray Sect: "You are right. According to the rules of our five inner sects, you must pass a test before taking on such an important position."
"No problem, the person I like will not be wrong, just test it directly."
Mr. Hu San actually agreed to the test on my behalf, which made me feel dizzy.
I wanted to refuse, but I thought that in front of so many people, if I refuted him, it would make him lose face.
But I didn't refute him, and I was very angry. Why should he make a decision for me, just because he is Mr. Hu San?
At this time, the smile on Lang Ni's face also disappeared little by little.
She said coldly: "I didn't expect that there are so many tricks in the five inner sects. Tell me, what is your so-called test mission?"
The Gray Immortal who made the suggestion just now said: "The method of the test is very simple. Now that an item has been lost in the inner five gates, if we ask Cheng Yi to help us find it, it will be regarded as successfully passing the test."
Hearing this, my heart sank. I was asked to find the Kirin Formation Diagram before, but now they asked me to find something as a test. I really know how to play.
Lang Ni said: "To be more specific, what exactly are you planning to ask Cheng Yi to help find?"
The head of the Liumen family said: "The thing you are looking for is called the soul refining pot fragment."
"Soul Refining Pot?"
I frowned.
Mr. Hu San's eyes looked at me: "Cheng Yi, next, you should find a way to complete this task. This is the rule of the inner five sects. After you complete it, you will be the minister of the inner five sects."
In fact, I don't care about the imperial tribute in my heart, but the current situation makes it difficult for me to get off.
If you don't agree, it will be a shame for Mr. Hu San, and you will completely offend Mr. Hu San.
I thought to myself, what kind of reason should I find to refuse this task?
After rolling my eyes, I came up with an idea.
Next, I said to Mr. Hu San, "I'm afraid I won't be able to complete this mission because I have failed Mr. Hu San."
Mr. Hu San was stunned, he didn’t expect me to refuse.
Looking at his stunned expression, I continued: "I have not completely completed Huang Yuehu's mission. Next, I need to interrogate him to determine where the other half I am looking for is."
Hearing the reason for my refusal, Mr. Hu San let out a sigh of relief.
"Now that Huang Yuehu has been caught and has arrived at the main hall, you don't have to worry anymore. I will have someone take care of Huang Yuehu and ask about the relevant situation."
Seeing that the excuse I had found was easily denied by Mr. Hu San, I could only nod my head and said with an unhappy face: "Then it is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
How could Mr. Hu San, a smart man like him, fail to see that I am unhappy?
Next, he waved his hand to the other disciples: "It has nothing to do with you now. Everyone, please go back to your hall."
Seeing everyone from the other doors leaving, Master Hu San turned his eyes to Bai Ze again.
"You should also avoid it temporarily."
Bai Ze glanced at me and said, "Cheng Yi, I'll wait for you at the door."
When I saw Bai Ze leaving, I knew that Mr. Hu San had something to say to me alone.
With this thought in mind, I took out half of the Kirin array diagram from my body and handed it to his hand.
"Master Hu San, after we found Huang Yue Lake, we only found this half of the map from him. The remaining half of the Qilin Formation map, this guy just didn't say where it was."
"Originally we wanted to come back and interrogate him and ask him to reveal the whereabouts of the remaining magic circle diagrams. We didn't expect that we would encounter so many things after we came back."
Mr. Hu San smiled and said: "Haha, young people, don't be afraid of things. It's good to be busy. Next, I can provide you with clues, and you can continue to search for the whereabouts of the remaining half of the Kirin Array."
Mr. Hu San’s words surprised me very much.
"What, are you going to leave the remaining half to us to find?"
Mr. Hu San smiled: "Of course, have you forgotten what I said to you before? There are not many people in the inner five sects who can make me believe it."
Before Master Hu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a dissatisfied snort from Lang Ni.
