Under One Person, the little witch only wants to collect elves

Chapter 373: Ten Leaders' Meeting, the Eleventh Leader

"Wang Bing is dead?"

During the Luotian Grand Ceremony, Yan Huan turned Wang Bing into a Shar-Pei dog and promised to give him a year to hone his character and cultivate his mind.

Now, there were less than three months left in the year, and Yan Huan still wanted to see how far this ignorant guy had grown, but in the end he couldn't bear it and died.

However, this is also his own fault.

"Mr. Zhao, could you elaborate on this and tell us more about the Wang family?"

Only after the Shar Pei is killed will the abnormality of its soul become apparent.

A person who can see through the means of creating animals must be the most outstanding wizard in the circle, which naturally makes Yan Huan curious.

Zhao Fangxu took a sip of tea and pointed at Ma Xianhong with his finger: "Xiao Ma, you are still under the company's surveillance. After we figure out how to deal with the successor of the Eight Wonders, we will transfer you as well."

"There are some things I won't avoid you about, so please keep your mouth shut."

Ma Xianhong nodded. He just wanted to find out where Qu Tong had placed his family. He had no intention of getting involved in the struggles and chaos in the circle.

These things can just be regarded as idle talk at the dinner table, which goes well with the meal.

After a few instructions, Zhao Fangxu started talking.

The disappearance of the Wang family heir was widely discussed in the circle, but the death of Wang Bing was a secret known to few people.

Wang Ai visited the Huaxing Sect and took away all the good fighters in the sect without any explanation. Afterwards, he killed many independent cultivators in the martial arts world. Most of these independent cultivators used acrobatics, including some monsters who had practiced the "Cai Sheng Zhe Ge".

Originally, the company had no intention of intervening in the fight between the aliens, but could not stand the repeated visits from the head of the Transformation Sect, so Zhao Fangxu took over the work of mediation. However, as soon as Wang Ai arrived at the headquarters and opened his mouth, Zhao Fangxu was speechless.

This old man is looking for the murderer of his great-grandson.

The Wang family's attitude towards the Huaxing Sect directly touched upon the sensitive areas of various smaller sects. The Truth Seeking Society, which consisted of Yiliu, Huangmen Sancai, Ziranmen and Yanwutang, also stepped forward and began to support the Huaxing Sect.

Of course, Zhao Fangxu was also clear about the purpose of the Truth Seeking Society.

If they want to gain more say, they cannot rely on everyone. The best strategy is to unite a group of small sects.

If the matter of the Huaxing Sect can be settled with the Wang family, then the status of the Qiuzhen Society in the hearts of the other small sects will naturally rise sharply.

It just so happened that Huang Ning'er of the Truth-Seeking Society was just about to make a difference, so he took this opportunity to stand out in the name of maintaining stability and unity in the circle.

Huang Ning'er's four words "stability and unity" really touched Zhao Fangxu's heart.

"It looks like there's going to be another rising star in this circle," Yan Huan joked.

Zhao Fangxu shook his head and said nothing. He was born in troubled times and grew up in peaceful times. He had the typical idea of ​​an old cadre that "maintaining stability is above all else."

As long as there are extraordinary people, the struggle will continue, but during Zhao Fangxu's lifetime, he did not want to see chaos, so he spent his whole life maintaining order.

Zhao Fangxu once said that emotionally, he sympathized with Feng Baobao, but intellectually he remained cautious.

Zhao Fangxu tried to cover up the matter of Feng Baobao when he had the ability, but when he couldn't cover it up anymore, Feng Baobao became the source of the chaos, and Zhao Fangxu would never defend Feng Baobao.

"The goal is very big, and the more you want, the more you will want. This little Huang is a chess piece to balance the power, but he is definitely not the key to finalizing the entire chess game."

"To be honest, I still can't see the future of this alien world clearly, but there's no need to see it clearly. Who knows how many years I have left to live?"

Zhao Fangxu's words were filled with the dejection of an old man.

After taking a few bites of the food, he changed the subject, "Xiao Huan, let me be honest with you. If we really need to bring in a middle force to mediate, I want you to be the boss more than anyone else."

"I am happy to help young people who want to make a difference, but after all, you are not interested in this, alas..."

Zhao Fangxu shook his head.

At this time, Huang Boren rushed back after adding the dishes.

"Shouldn't you discuss this big matter with Director Su?"

Zhao Fangxu raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and said, "It's not finalized yet."

Yan Huan buried his head in his food and did not respond much.

Zhao Fangxu did not mention more details about Wang Bing's death, probably because he was concerned about Wang Ai's position. After all, if the heir of the four major families was turned into a dog, it would cause an uproar in the entire circle if this matter were to spread.

The dinner fell into silence. After more than half an hour, the dishes were served. After another half an hour, the dinner ended in a strange atmosphere.

Yan Huan finished eating, wiped the corner of his mouth, and replied with a sentence that almost made Zhao Fangxu drop his glasses.

"Boss Zhao, I can be the new 'Lao'."

"Ah!???" Zhao Fangxu almost spit out the tea he had drunk.

Cough cough cough cough!
After coughing violently for a while, he raised his glasses, still unable to believe his ears.

"Why so sudden... This is not like you..."

"Oh oh oh!" Zhao Fangxu suddenly realized and clapped his hands. "You want to negotiate with me again, kid. I understand! During the six months you disappeared, the company's intelligence system has not stopped. Any news about the elves will be sent to you immediately."

"That's not it." Yan Huan said.

Eh?
Zhao Fangxu, who was like an old fox, now completely couldn't understand this young man.

"Xiao Huan, what on earth have you been through in the past six months?"

"That's totally unlike you!"

"Then tell me, what do you want?" Zhao Fangxu asked the waiter to remove the dinner plates, and served fruit snacks and tea, ready for a long talk.

Huang Boren swallowed hard and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

At present, the alien world is mainly managed by two major organizations. The official force "Nadutong" supported by the state does not usually interfere too much in the lives and work of aliens. It will only take action to manage and mediate when major disturbances occur in the alien world.

The management organization of the alien world itself is the Ten Lords Association.

The ten bosses in the Ten Bosses Talks are the leaders of the ten strongest forces in the circle. Once they become a "boss", they will have the right to say in major events in the circle. For this power, even many resources will be tilted towards the "boss".

It can be said that becoming a "lao" is something that many people dream of.

But now the situation...

Huang Boren didn't understand.

Although the rights of being a "Lao" are clearly granted, Mr. Zhao actually has to set additional conditions. Isn't this the company begging this young man to become a "Lao"?
"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, what on earth are you thinking about?"

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Huang Boren pretended to cough to signal him, but Zhao Fangxu turned a deaf ear and continued, "We can try our best to meet your needs within the scope permitted by the company."

Yan Huan said directly: "It's very simple, I need a few people."

"Just now, Mr. Zhao was worrying about the successor of the Eight Wonders. This is what I want... Zhang Chulan, Zhang Lingyu, Wang Ye, Lu Liang... and of course, the old Ma who is beside me now."

"These people are under surveillance by the company in different areas, so why not assign them to me directly?"

Zhao Fangxu looked embarrassed and remained silent for a long time.

"But what do you want these people for?"

"Isn't this just to help Mr. Zhao relieve his worries?"

"Hmm..." Zhao Fangxu buried his head in thought. To be honest, if the descendants of the "Eight Wonderful Skills" could be managed under a unified management, there would be less possibility of trouble.

The problem is these people...

Zhao Fangxu said earnestly, "Xiao Huan, Zhang Chulan is a company employee, Wang Ye was expelled from Wudang, and Xiao Ma is under the control of the company. These three are easy to deal with."

"The key is that Lu Liang bears the hatred of the Lu family, and Zhang Lingyu is a high-ranking official of the Tianshi Mansion. There is no reason for the company to interfere too much with these two people. I will give you an accurate answer after they fall into my hands."

Yan Huan held a large watermelon in his hand and took a few bites: "It doesn't matter, I can handle these two people in the future." "Okay..." Zhao Fangxu hesitated a little, "You are not going to do anything big, are you?"

"That won't work. Mr. Zhao, you know me. I have always been a law-abiding citizen and a strong defender of the company's policies. I can destroy anyone else's but not the country's, don't you agree?" Yan said with a smile.

Zhao Fangxu was skeptical.

Based on his decades of experience in politics, anyone who sets such a high standard will eventually get into some huge trouble.

"But if it's Xiao Huan's words, I should be able to trust them..."

"Okay, I promise you. As I said before, as long as it doesn't affect the stability of the circle, I will support you."

As soon as Zhao Fangxu agreed, the matter was settled. The next step was to inform Director Su to prepare for the meeting of the ten leaders.

"Then I'll accept these things as well. Mr. Zhao has some problems with his internal organs, so he needs to consume less sugar." Yan Huan packed up the freshly baked cakes and hung them behind a chair.

“Hmm——” Ma Xianhong, who had lost the whole game, had no idea what he was feeling. He had always invited Yan Huan to join the village in the past, but he never thought that the two of them would end up together in this way. It could be considered a common destination achieved through different paths.

······
On the third day after Yan Huan left for the northwest, the Ten Lords Meeting was officially held at the company headquarters.

The meeting room is spacious and bright, with plain white walls like a painting. Tea has been prepared in advance on the round table, and it is steaming hot.

Mr. Su, the company representative, sat on the sofa next to the table, waiting quietly.

Before everyone gathered and the meeting started, the old Taoist priest Zhang Zhiwei sat calmly beside Lu Jin, then took a sip of water and jokingly said, "Old Lu, how are you doing?"

"I heard that you didn't fully recover until Xiao Huanzi disappeared after the Luotian Grand Ceremony last year. Did you see something extraordinary?"

Lu Jin shook his head bitterly: "Nothing, I just had a strange vision that I couldn't accept for a while."

call--

Taking a long breath, Lu Jin recalled the bizarre scene on Yan Huan's body, as if his vision instantly encompassed everything in the world. He continued to sigh: "It is said that if you go against the flow, you will become an immortal. I really don't know what will happen to me after reaching the third level of reverse life..."

Zhang Zhiwei said with a hint of regret: "It's about time you take a step further."

"Let's talk about it later..." Lu Jin said perfunctorily and then kept silent.

The atmosphere at the round table became cold again. Guan Shihua, who had not been seen for a long time, kept shifting his gaze to Chen Jinkui on his right.

The bearded head of the Shuzi Sect was blind in his left eye for some reason, but his right eye glowed with a crystal golden light.

"Hahaha! What happened to you, little bald donkey? I heard that you have been harassing a junior for half a year, and now you have become a one-eyed wolf?"

Hearty laughter echoed in the room. Master Jiekong and Mu You, who were both bald, looked at Guan Shihua together. Lu Ci, who had a scar on his eye, also looked over.

"Big monk! Are you unhappy with what I heard?"

"Hey, I'm not talking about you, don't take it personally! Lu Ci, don't be stunned, your eyes aren't that blind!"

"Cough cough cough! Aunt, aunt..." Na Ruhu, who was guarding Guan Shihua, stopped talking hurriedly. His sturdy and strong body made the aunt look like a sparrow.

Monk Jiekong bowed and said with a smile: "No problem, no problem! Hehehe!"

Chen Jinkui covered his blinded left eye and smiled awkwardly.

The golden pupil in the right eye was a quick version I learned from a friend in order to see through the "Fenghou Qimen". There was a slight mistake during the practice, so one eye became blind.

"The wise are the teachers. It is not shameful to be humble and eager to learn. We have this eye just to have one more skill."

"Speaking of which, Auntie, you have been in seclusion for a long time. Why do you suddenly want to go south?"

Guan Shihua sat cross-legged on the table, propping up her chin with one hand, and said in a cold voice: "Is it an old woman coming out to support the younger generation? Is it bothering you?"

“Hahaha, I wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare…” Chen Jinkui apologized with a smile.

Lu Ci chuckled a few times, "Hehehe, the kid who walked out of your Northeast territory back then was elected as a 'boss' by the company in just two years. Aren't you a little glad that you didn't mess with him back then?"

Guan Shihua was stunned for a moment, then became furious.

"Lü Ci, you keep saying stupid things to sow discord. We respect each other and have a good relationship!"

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Na Ru Hu immediately advised: "Auntie, calm down, calm down...Also, this is not how you should treat each other with respect."

······
Director Su, who was waiting on the side, rubbed his forehead helplessly. These people were almost a thousand years old in total, and they were always so noisy during every meeting.

"Speaking of which, is this meeting of the ten masters really necessary?"

Even if he is elected as the "boss", the ten bosses are still required to express their opinions.

But looking at these people, the old Taoist Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Jin already have a close relationship with Yan Huan, so these two votes are safe.

It is said that the "witch" Guan Shihua and Na Ruhu of Xiguge also had private communications with Yan Huan. If nothing unexpected happens, these two votes were also secured.

Not to mention Feng Zhenghao from Tianxiahui. The company has investigated privately and found that he is related to Yan Huan, so there is no reason for him to disagree.

Together, this number exceeds half. As long as one of the usually neutral Master Jiekong and Mu You agrees, the matter will be settled.

In Mr. Su's eyes, the meeting of the Ten Lords was purely a formality.

"Wang Ai, please let me know whether you are coming or not..." Director Su opened his eyes and looked at the clock hanging on the wall, frowning slightly.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the round table fell into a long silence.

Chairman Su, who was presiding over the meeting of the ten bosses, stood up and came to the table. "No more waiting. This time, the company has only one topic, which is whether Yan Huan can become the eleventh boss. Please give your vote."

Among the ten leaders, the one with the most say is Zhang Zhiwei, the leader of the Taoist sect Zhengyi.

The remaining people turned their eyes over.

"You want me to start?" The old Taoist priest Zhang Zhiwei stroked his beard. "You have both the Tao and the skills, and you are a natural talent. Let's leave a place for the young man."

Lu Ci couldn't say that he liked Yan Huan, but he also couldn't say that he hated Yan Huan. It was better to say that killing Bi He Ren in Qunling Mountain made him feel very happy.

Originally, Lu Ci was still a little hesitant, but when he saw Zhang Zhiwei raising his hand to vote, he simply raised his hand as well.

Seeing this, Director Su sighed inwardly, "It's over."

Things turned out to be pretty much as she had guessed. The only surprise was that Monk Jiekong and Mu You, who always liked to remain neutral, also raised their hands in agreement. Chen Jinkui also raised his right hand, either because he was forced by the situation or had other intentions.

The agenda of this meeting of the Ten Lords was passed unanimously, except for Wang Ai who was absent.

"Oh my, this is true... Then we can draft the announcement almost soon." Director Su edited a message for Zhao Fangxu, reporting the results of the Ten Lords' Meeting.

"Then, the alien circle will welcome the youngest 'Lao' next."

Bang!

The door of the conference room opened and Yan Huan, who was at the center of the discussion, walked in.

Zhang Zhiwei, Guan Shihua and Feng Zhenghao congratulated him with a smile, while Lu Jin covered his eyes in panic.

Lu Ci closed his left eye tightly, and his scarred right eye twitched a few times. He sat there calmly, "Hmph..."

"Amitabha, well, well--" Master Jiekong put his hands together in greeting, closed his eyes and chuckled.

"Hehe, Brother Huan, Shimaan has been guarding you in Qunling Mountain for more than three months. I will go to visit him someday." Na Ruhu said with a smile, touching the back of his head.

We agreed to fight Yan Huan together after the New Year, and this good thing can’t be taken by Lao Ding alone.

Chen Jinkui stood up in a hurry, more excited than the others, and went straight to greet him: "Master Yan, please be kind and tell me where Master Wang is! I can't sleep all day and all night!"

Yan Huan ignored Kui'er who came to greet him, and walked straight to the table. He bowed to the people and said with a smile: "Seniors, please give me more guidance."

After saying that, he sat down on an empty chair.
