I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

Qin Ge turned to look at Shen Yulan and said, "Let me introduce you. Her name is Shen Yulan. She was originally from the Jinling branch."

"From this day forward, she will be the deputy head of our Jiangcheng branch!"

"From now on, when I am not here, all affairs will be handled by Deputy Hall Master Shen and Deputy Hall Master Chang Siyao."

All eyes turned to Shen Yulan, and everyone's expressions were quite interesting.

Is this hall master really reliable?

You've been bragging about everything, and now you're telling us you want to be a hands-off manager?

Shen Yulan's cheeks burned, and she felt uncomfortable all over. She regretted coming with Qin Ge.

If Qin Ge were to become the hall master, she would naturally be willing to do everything in her power to help him, but she never thought of becoming a deputy hall master!

"I object!" A man stepped forward from the crowd. "What makes her qualified to be the deputy head of our branch? Was she appointed by headquarters or the head of the branch?"

Qin Ge narrowed his eyes slightly. "Why didn't you say anything when I asked earlier if anyone objected to me becoming the hall master?"

The man said, "I don't object to you becoming the hall master, but I object to Shen Yulan becoming the deputy hall master!"

"Isn't this the same thing?" Qin Ge rolled his eyes. "I already said that I'm in charge of the Jiangcheng branch. If you oppose my decisions, aren't you opposing me becoming the branch leader?"

"You want to oppose it, but you're afraid of getting beaten up, aren't you?"

"These are two different things!" the man insisted stubbornly. "Even if you are the hall master, what right do you have to do this?"

"Are you fucking deaf?" Qin Ge laughed in anger. "I already said, I'm in charge of the Jiangcheng branch. Why are you asking me what qualifications I have?"

"Why don't you go back and ask your dad what right he has to sleep in the same bed as your mom?"

"That's settled then. Anyone who has objections, shut up!"

"Otherwise, opposing my decision is tantamount to opposing my becoming the head of this hall. You're welcome to come up on stage and challenge me!"

The crowd burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere instantly turned into a cheerful one.

They were surprised that Qin Ge didn't lay a hand on anyone; it seemed that the sect leader wasn't so unreasonable after all.

Qin Ge had his own plans. He was unwilling to spend time managing the Shadow Martial Hall, and he had already decided to let Shen Yulan manage it.

However, Shen Yulan also needs assistance, and Chang Siyao is a good candidate. If it weren't for his usefulness, he would have been killed by Qin Ge at the Yuanjiang Villa yesterday.

Now, some people are actually opposing Shen Yulan becoming the deputy hall master. Isn't this just deliberately trying to cause trouble?

Qin Ge ignored the jerk and continued to explain his plan.

The first thing he asked Shen Yulan and Chang Siyao to do was lay off employees; all those who got in through connections had to be fired!

The Shadow Martial Hall is known for its strict discipline, and in principle, there shouldn't be any connections involved. For example, in the branches in Jinling and Donghai, under the control of Qiao Song and Yu Xiaoyun, it's harder than climbing to heaven to get in through the back door!

However, the Jiangcheng branch is an exception. Over the years, it has been turned into a mess by Liu Musheng, otherwise there wouldn't be someone like He Yongnian.

Even if Liu Musheng hadn't died at the hands of the Moyi Hall, he would probably have been killed by Han Beichen with a single palm strike.

What Qin Ge needs to do is eliminate those connections and give more opportunities for capable people to rise to the top.

In addition, he also wants to thoroughly investigate corrupt officials like He Yongnian!

To save trouble, we should first encourage people to turn themselves in and report crimes, and then deal with them according to the severity of their mistakes.

Surrendering yourself can get you a lighter sentence, but it's impossible for you to stay in the Shadow Martial Hall. However, if you are reported or found out, things won't be so easy. You'll be in serious trouble, even if you don't die!

Qin Ge also did something outrageous: all the benefits and privileges that those who were kicked out of the Shadow Martial Hall had previously enjoyed were equally distributed among those who remained.

His whole scheme has brought joy to some and sorrow to others.

Those who have made mistakes are filled with unease.

Those who keep to their duties will all be happy.

Those who get into the Shadow Martial Arts Hall through back channels are inherently limited in ability; otherwise, why would they need to use back channels? Many people were already fed up with those who held positions without doing their jobs, so this has made them even more proactive in reporting them.

Shen Yulan picked it up quickly; being a member of the Shadow Martial Hall, she was able to get right to work.

Some people made such big mistakes that they were unwilling to sit and wait for their fate. They looked for an opportunity to slip away, but before they even left Jiangcheng, Chang Siyao dragged them back.

Some people became even bolder. They felt that Qin Ge, the new hall master, was the reason they were in this predicament, and they even wanted to make Qin Ge pay the price. They joined forces to kill Qin Ge!

The result was naturally that Qin Ge turned the tables and killed him, slapping one kid to death.

Qin Ge failed to kill anyone and lost his own life, but by a twist of fate, his prestige in the Shadow Martial Hall increased significantly.

Everyone in the Shadow Martial Hall knows that although the new hall master is young, his strength is unfathomable!

Shen Yulan was so engrossed in her work that she didn't even want to go back to the Yuanjiang Villa, so Qin Ge simply moved into the Yingwu Hall as well.

In less than three days, the Shadow Martial Hall had taken on a completely new look.

Qin Ge secured his position as the hall master through his powerful "personal charisma," and no one dared to challenge him.

After getting to know him better, the people from Shadow Martial Hall discovered that Qin Ge wasn't as scary as they had imagined; he was actually quite easygoing.

At first, they were afraid of Qin Ge because he was powerful, but gradually they became proud of their own leader because he was powerful.

The majority of people in the Shadow Martial Hall are worthy of respect; they have worked diligently and made great contributions to the stability of China.

Many others suffered injuries during past missions, leaving them with lasting effects that have yet to be cured.

Qin Ge not only respected those people, but also treated them.

Those people had suffered for so long, and never expected to be cured. They were all moved to tears of gratitude.

Some of them suffer from old injuries, which not only cause them great physical torment but also make it difficult for them to make further progress in martial arts; some have even regressed.

The injury that baffled many renowned doctors was utterly insignificant to Qin Ge, and he resolved it with ease.

This thrilled everyone, and their admiration for Qin Ge reached a new level.

In just a few days, Qin Ge, who hadn't done much serious work, not only secured his position as the head of the hall, but also gained the support and heartfelt respect of countless people.

Shen Yulan's abilities are also extremely impressive, even Chang Siyao has to admit it and often praises her.

When she was in Jinling, Qiao Song entrusted her with all kinds of affairs, big and small. She was already very familiar with all kinds of rules and methods. Not to mention the deputy hall master, she could handle it even if she were the hall master directly.

The person who previously questioned Shen Yulan's qualifications to be the deputy hall master, after witnessing Shen Yulan's abilities, specifically sought her out to apologize in person, showing great sincerity.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Ge had been in the Shadow Martial Arts Hall for almost half a month.

Just as he was preparing to return to the East China Sea, something happened at the Shadow Martial Hall.

A group of people who went on a mission not long ago got beaten up and were seriously injured!
