Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

"Please, Sect Leader, take action and slay the traitors!!!"

The shouts of the Emei disciples echoed at the Golden Summit.

He Li's gaze also turned to Situ Ji.

But his gaze was somewhat unfriendly.

Sensing He Li's hostility, Situ Ji finally lost his temper and roared in anger...

"Shut up, all of you!!!"

Fueled by the immense power of the Void Realm, Situ Ji's voice boomed like thunder, instantly drowning out the shouts of the Emei disciples and elders, leaving them stunned.

What's going on here? Wasn't the sect leader supposed to come and help He Li recover the losses of their Emei Sect?

But they asked the sect leader to kill He Li...

Why did the sect leader tell them to shut up?

The disciples were bewildered, exchanging bewildered glances. Even Yan Qingsong, who had been the most vocal, looked at Situ Ji with some suspicion: "Sect Leader? Why...why are you reprimanding us?"

"Did we do something wrong?"

What did I do wrong?

You guys are doing everything wrong!!!

Situ Ji roared inwardly, but as the leader of the Emei Sect, he represented the face and image of Emei. He couldn't really swear in front of so many people.

So he had no choice but to suppress his anger and glare at Yan Qingsong menacingly, signaling him to stop talking.

However, before Yan Qingsong could understand his meaning...

He Li had already spoken.

"You're the leader of the Emei Sect?"

Upon hearing He Li's words, Situ Ji, disregarding Yan Qing's discomfort, hurriedly nodded in response...

"My name is Situ Ji, and I am the leader of the Emei Sect."

Upon seeing his admission, He Li's gaze sharpened.

"Since you are the sect leader, then let me ask you, are you aware that the Emei Sect is colluding with criminals and harboring monsters? Your Emei Sect's martial artists are aiding and abetting evil and acting recklessly..."

"They even believe that your Emei Sect is above the law and dares to attack investigators..."

"Have you ever disciplined them?"

"How did you become the sect leader?"

Answer me!!!

Staring coldly at Situ Ji, He Li showed no regard for the other party's status as the head of a major sect, nor did he give him any face. He questioned him sternly as if he were a suspect.

This action not only made Yang Jian and his group break out in a cold sweat, but also made everyone else present jump in surprise...

"Wow, that's incredibly arrogant!"

"They were arrogant and presumptuous towards those elders of the Emei Sect before, and even dared to lay a hand on them..."

"The one coming down now is the sect leader!"

"That's a Void Realm expert!!!"

"He actually... showed such a lack of respect?"

"The strength of the sect leader is secondary. The main thing is that the Emei Sect has a long history of more than a thousand years and is involved with many families, sects and those in power."

"They have powerful connections and extensive networks. Do they have a death wish to speak to the sect leader like that?"

"Although this guy certainly won't have a good ending..."

"But I still have to say something..."

"Brother, you're awesome!!!"

He Li's arrogance and conceit once again gave many independent martial artists and tourists present a small shock. Of course, the Emei disciples, including Yan Qingsong, were also surprised.

He truly hadn't expected that the opponent wouldn't be intimidated even when facing a top-tier expert like Situ Ji...

Is this person really a simpleton?

It's possible. After all, who in their right mind would dare to do what he did today?

Only a brainless brute or a simpleton...

That's why he dares to act so recklessly, right?

Yan Qingsong couldn't help but think.

Then he sneered, "Hmph, brat, you've brought this upon yourself."

"After all, the sect leader has a bad temper. If you dare to speak to him like that, he's probably furious right now, and you could be killed right here by his rage..."

As he pondered this, he glanced at Situ Ji.

He assumed that Situ Ji must have become a red-hot official.

However, just as he turned his head...

"I'm really not a very competent person!"

Upon hearing Situ Ji's voice, Yan Qingsong, who was turning around, froze. What was going on? The sect leader, who was known for his bad temper, was actually admitting that he was no good?

Was he possessed by a ghost or what?

In the past, anyone who dared to question him or speak ill of him would be beaten half to death on the spot...

In severe cases, it can lead to immediate death.

What's wrong with me today?

Faced with He Li's interrogation that resembled that of a criminal, the sect leader not only did not fly into a rage and attack, but also admitted his mistake... Is this for real? Yan Qingsong stared blankly at Situ Ji, feeling that the sect leader was completely unfamiliar to him.

Other Emei disciples shared the same sentiment.

But what convinced them even more that the sect leader was indeed possessed by a ghost was what Situ Ji said next...

"I was in seclusion before!"

"I truly know nothing about strange matters."

"But as the sect leader, I am also to blame for failing to detect this matter and deal with those scourges."

"As for the arrogant and domineering disciples in the sect... and the lack of strict discipline, I, Situ Ji, have no words to refute it!" Situ Ji said in a deep voice, showing no intention of shirking responsibility.

He even offered a solution...

"After this incident, I will definitely clean house and send the disciples who committed crimes to the Special Bureau."

"In response to the impact caused by the Emei Sect, our Emei Sect is willing to contribute funds to give back to society as compensation. At the same time, Emei disciples will also go down the mountain to cooperate with the Special Bureau in clearing out the monsters free of charge..."

Situ Ji was talking about these things.

He even mentioned that he would be punished for not disciplining his children properly.

He Li was somewhat surprised.

Is the leader of this major sect so sensible?

Isn't that wrong? As the high and mighty sect leader, shouldn't he use his power and force to deal with this "nobody" who challenges the dignity of Emei?

That's how it's written in novels!

Why does it change when it comes to me? Why did he so readily admit his mistake?

He Li stared at Situ Ji with surprise and suspicion.

But Situ Ji continued speaking...

"Monsters deserve to be killed!"

"My Emei disciples colluded with monsters and criminals, and were beheaded for obstructing the investigation. It is their own fault."

"I certainly won't cause trouble!"

"Not only will you not cause trouble, but considering that you have all traveled a long way to Emei to rid it of evil spirits and prevent Emei from suffering a great disaster because of those fools..."

"My Emei Sect should also thank you all."

Ah? ? ?

I shattered your Emei sect and killed so many of your disciples, and you didn't even fight me to the death? You're actually thanking me? He Li felt a little unreal when he heard this.

The Emei disciples were completely dumbfounded.

"It's fake! It's fake!!!"

"This is definitely not our sect leader!"

"Our sect leader is a Void Realm expert, his martial arts are unparalleled and his reputation is known far and wide. How could he possibly... how could he possibly back down in front of such an unknown nobody?"

"That's right. If one's own disciple is killed, the sect leader should avenge the disciple with swift and decisive action."

"There's absolutely no way he would admit his mistake and thank them..."

"Possessed by a ghost, it must be a ghost possession!"

"Damn it, I don't care who you are, I advise you to get off the sect leader right now."

"Otherwise, we're not to be trifled with!!!"

"Good, hurry up and get down, or we'll have to take action against you!"

……

The Emei disciples have gone mad.

Or rather, they were unwilling to believe that their high and mighty sect leader would turn out like this. Only Yan Qingsong and the other elders vaguely discerned the truth at this moment...

If He Li's arrogance, his haughtiness, and his disregard for their sect leader were simply foolishness...

What about their sect leader, Situ Ji?

Situ Ji's attitude towards He Li is too strange...

The elders considered a possibility...

Could it be that He Li's arrogance stems from his incredibly powerful background, which is why he doesn't take Emei seriously? And Situ Ji's change in attitude is because he's figured it out?

He recognized the other party's background and didn't dare to provoke them... That's why he honestly admitted his mistake.

Considering this possibility...

Yan Qingsong and the others looked terrified, and were sweating profusely.

"Someone even the sect leader can't afford to offend!"

"Just how incredible is his background?"

Thinking about it, Yan Qingsong shook his head with a stiff smile: "There's no reason why a young master with such an extraordinary background would inexplicably come to our Emei to investigate cases and commit murder."

"Maybe...maybe I'm overthinking it?"

"Maybe, maybe... the sect leader's change of attitude is because he suddenly wants to be a good person? Yes, yes, that must be it, that must be it..."

Elders Yan Qingsong and others thought anxiously, occasionally raising their hands to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.

However, just when they thought they were overthinking things...

He Li suddenly spoke up.

He stared at Situ Ji, his expression suspicious: "You, the dignified leader of the Emei Sect, would lower yourself to apologize to me? I killed so many of your people, and you're actually thanking me...?"

"This sounds a bit fake. You wouldn't... be trying to fool me into lowering my guard and believing you..."

"And then you can ambush and kill me, right?"

He asked, and Situ Ji quickly shook his head.

"No, no, you are the Bone-Chewing Yama, someone who can be compared to Jiang Hongxian and Lin Fan. The entire Great Xia government is watching you and supporting you."

How could I possibly harbor ill intentions towards you?

"You must be joking!"

His words caused everyone's pupils to dilate in shock...

who? ? ?

Chewing...chewing Yama? ??
