My clan is super powerful

After listening to Director Xia's words, Zhang Zhi silently nodded in agreement.

That person probably wanted to protect their image by removing Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao from the list because they were worried about the large number of people watching.

After all, if Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao were on the list, it would easily give others the impression that they were abusing their power for personal gain.

If you care about your image, you certainly don't want any negative impact.

Of course, Zhang Zhi would never have such thoughts.

This reason also applies to Director Xia.

If Director Xia is worried about rumors of him abusing his power for personal gain, or if he wants to avoid rumors of currying favor with Zhang Zhi by arranging for Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao to become inspectors, he might suggest that Zhang Zhi temporarily remove Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao from the list.

The number of inspectors appointed for this ceremony has already been announced. If Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao are removed from the list, some people might be able to take advantage of the situation and get a spot.

After all, due to the plan to achieve sainthood through merit, countless people are watching any place where there is a possibility of accumulating a large amount of merit.

The position of inspector is highly coveted.

But then Zhang Zhi shook his head, thinking that no, the plan of the person behind the scenes might not be just that. If Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao had not been appointed as inspectors, he might have had a problem with Director Xia.

If similar situations occur again, I will definitely become more and more dissatisfied with Director Xia.

As the pioneer of the Qi Refining path, I still have the right to change the management of promoting the Qi Refining path.

Perhaps the person behind the scenes isn't eyeing the position of inspector, but rather the position of director of the promotion department.

Where can the inspectors gain more merit and benefits than the head of the promotion department?
Thinking of this, he looked up at Director Xia.

If Director Xia is framed and problems continue to arise, I might indeed replace the Director of the Promotion Department.

Even though she knew he might have been set up.

Because if the person in charge of promoting the Qi Refining path cannot even solve these problems, they are not qualified to be in charge of promoting the Qi Refining path!
At that moment, Director Xia turned to look at Zhang Zhi. After a moment's thought, he said, "Professor Zhang, you should have noticed it too."

"The person who orchestrated this seems to be after the position of inspector, but in reality, they are probably after me, or rather, the position I'm currently in."

"That person will definitely have other plans in the future."

Zhang Zhi nodded slightly upon hearing this: "There are many people who are envious of your position as the head of the promotion department. It's normal for such strange things to happen."

"How do you plan to deal with this situation?"

"And who else is behind this? Do you have a general idea in mind?"

After pondering for a while, Director Xia slowly nodded and said, "At present, I still have no way of determining who the mastermind is. As for how to deal with it, for the time being, we can only deal with it as it comes."

"However, I can roughly deduce the situation of the person behind the scenes."

“There are many people eyeing my position now. After all, the director of the promotion department can not only gain a lot of merit himself, but also appoint many positions that can gain a lot of merit.”

"In addition, the current plan to achieve sainthood through merit has caused the value of merit to skyrocket. Heaven knows how many people want to take my place."

"I think it's normal if there are even half-step God Realm beings among those people."

"However, even if I were to leave my position as head of the promotion department due to a work mistake, it would be highly unlikely that an ordinary person could take over."

"Only those who have worked in various institutions under the school and made certain achievements, whose positions are not low, whose cultivation level is at the level of a Great Thousand World Lord, and whose background is deep enough, will be able to accept the position of Director of the Promotion Department after I leave."

"There aren't many people in the school who meet all these conditions!"

Zhang Zhi's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this. He glanced at the door leading to the auditorium and then asked, "So, that's why you just speculated that someone from another department of the school leaked the time and location of the inspector appointment ceremony?"

Director Xia nodded slowly: "Yes, in fact, to prevent leaks, I only notified many departments of the time, not the specific location."

"There are only a few sister organizations,"

"Oh, that is, several institutions under the names of Professor Zhuangzi and Professor Confucius. That's why I included the specific time and place on the invitation."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhi gave Director Xia a deep look, then slowly nodded and said nothing more.

Judging from what Director Xia just said, he should have realized long ago that someone in the institutions under the jurisdiction of Professor Confucius and Professor Zhuangzi had been plotting to take his place.

This appointment ceremony for the inspector was very likely a test by him.

After all, only a few people knew the exact time and place of the ceremony.

Therefore, if the information is leaked, it would prove that there are indeed staff members within those institutions plotting to take his place.

At the same time, he can use today's incident as a subtle reminder to himself, Professor Zhuangzi, and Professor Confucius that there may be others who will try to hold him back in the future.

That way, if we encounter a similar situation again in the future, we definitely won't blame him immediately.

However, whether today's incident was truly a deliberate leak by someone from another department, or something else entirely, only the person who actually leaked the information knows.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhi turned around and glanced at Director Xia, then nodded slightly and said, "I understand the situation."

"Your duty is to promote the Qi Refining path to all worlds within the human realm as quickly as possible."

"As long as you do this well, you don't need to worry about anything else."

Zhang Zhi's meaning was clear: he only cared about the results, specifically the speed at which the Qi Refining path was promoted within the human realm. As long as Director Xia did this well, he would firmly support Director Xia in securing his position.

Hearing Zhang Zhi say this, Director Xia felt reassured and breathed a deep sigh of relief. Then, he solemnly promised Zhang Zhi, "Professor Zhang Zhi, please rest assured."

"I will do my utmost to promote the Qi Refining path to every corner of the human territory as quickly as possible."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhi looked at Director Xia again, nodded slightly, and said nothing more. At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the lounge. Director Xia glanced in that direction and then called out, "Please come in."

Then, a staff member came in and said to Director Xia and everyone in the lounge, "Professor Zhang Zhi, leaders, the appointment ceremony is about to begin."

Please move aside.

Zhang Zhi checked the time, nodded to the staff member, and then got up and walked towards the auditorium outside.

The appointment ceremony for the inspector was actually quite simple, involving only the appointment of internal management personnel.

Such an appointment would not be a grand affair at all.

One possible reason why Director Xia invited Zhang Zhi over was to prove to Zhang Zhi that someone was holding them back.

Another major reason is that the appointment of the inspectors marked the beginning of the formal promotion phase of the cultivation path for Qi cultivators.

However, since this inspector is likely the easiest way for the human race in the main world to obtain a lot of merit recently, it has attracted so much attention.

When Zhang Zhi appeared on the guest stage, it caused a small sensation.

This should be his first official public appearance since the event ended.

Many people were watching with burning eyes this young man, who was probably the fastest rising in status among humans in history and was now one of the most powerful people in the human race.

Meanwhile, many people looked at Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao with envy, thinking that these two sisters had really hit the jackpot by getting on Professor Zhang Zhi's good side.

The position of inspector was something countless people would rack their brains to obtain, but they couldn't find a way to get it. Yet, these two women obtained it so easily.

Meanwhile, many people's eyes swept over Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao, who looked somewhat familiar, thinking that this was their taste.
When I get back, I can search carefully within the family to see if I can find sisters like Liu Wanwan and Liu Wanwan.

Several cultivators from families with twins showed a hint of regret on their faces, wondering why they hadn't noticed this before.

If we had discovered this situation earlier and sent our twin sisters from our clan over, we might have been able to get in touch with Professor Zhang Zhi!

Zhang Zhi had no idea what the people below were thinking about him.

He observed the entire ceremony from the sidelines. After the ceremony ended, he nodded slightly to Director Xia not far away, glanced at the large number of cultivators in the hall, and then, together with the three women, used their student cards to teleport back to their cave.

Back in the cave, Liu Xiaoxiao, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked Zhang Zhi, "Zhang Zhi, do you think many of the girls who have come to you these past few days are actually trying to get a position in the promotion department?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi turned to look at Liu Xiaoxiao with some surprise: "Sister Xiaoxiao, you didn't just realize this now, did you?"

"After Professor Zhuangzi announced the plan for achieving sainthood through merit at the grand event, the value of all means and methods related to acquiring merit in the entire human world skyrocketed."

"The promotion of the Qi Refiner path can be said to be the only confirmed way in the main world to obtain a huge amount of merit."

"Nine out of ten of the people who have come to me during this period are actually there because of the promotion of the Qi Refining path."

"Those girls were almost all stepping stones thrown out by forces that wanted to gain merit."

"Otherwise, no matter how popular or promising I am, it would be impossible for so many girls to go crazy and block my door every day."

"Only with such enormous interests could this happen."

"Sister Xiaoxiao, you didn't just realize this now, did you?"

Upon hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Liu Xiaoxiao blushed slightly, then quickly changed the subject, saying, "So, in that case, wouldn't Director Xia be able to reap enormous benefits by sitting in the position of Director of the Promotion Department?"

Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "The benefits are naturally great."

"His appointment as the head of the promotion department is undoubtedly the result of discussions between Professor Zhuangzi and Professor Confucius, who selected him to follow the path of merit and sainthood."

"However, his background was too ordinary, and his position was too prominent, so there were too many people who were envious."

"In fact, he was very cautious and apprehensive in his position."

"Many cultivators who appear to have a good relationship with him on the surface may secretly wish to replace him."

"He invited me over, which was actually a way of supporting him. He wanted to tell others that his position as the head of the promotion department was not only due to the will of Professor Zhuangzi and Professor Confucius, but also to the will of me, the founder of the Qi cultivation method."

"He is not someone that anyone can bring down."

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, Liu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "It's only you men who are good at scheming and being two-faced!"

Zhang Zhi chuckled to himself upon hearing this, thinking that no matter how much men scheme and plot, they wouldn't do something as simple as six people in a dorm creating more than a dozen group chats.

After returning from the promotion department, Zhang Zhi quickly put this little incident behind him.

Although the Qi Refining Promotion Office is an important institution that can absolutely influence countless people's lives, and even the rise and fall of their families.

But for Zhang Zhi at this time, it was just a minor episode in his life.

Although Zhang Zhi's cultivation level is not even at the legendary realm yet, he is already capable of deciding the life and death of countless people and the rise and fall of countless forces.

After refining the cards as before, Zhang Zhi entered the Spirit Treasure Small World.

The first person they contacted was naturally Ao Guang. Judging from the message Jin Da had sent during their last contact, the delegation from the Desolate Sky Continent would arrive in the Spirit Treasure Small World in about three or four months, or four or five days in the main world.

Now that they have a good understanding of the situation of the Multi-Armed Slaughter Clan, it is no longer so important whether or not the Multi-Armed Slaughter Clan comes from the Desolate Sky Continent. Therefore, Zhang Zhi no longer has the same eagerness to meet the visiting delegation from the Desolate Sky Continent as before.

Having found the three-in-one innate spiritual treasure, Zhang Zhi bestowed a large amount of merit upon it. Then, with a thought, he arrived at the location of Guangli Temple.

After this period of development, most of the demons in the surrounding area have now converted to Buddhism.

Guangli Temple was already considered a powerful local force. (End of Chapter)
