Pu Xuande picked up the celadon tea bowl and took a sip, then calmly said:
"Today, my three junior brothers, Zhu, Tai, and Du, were attending the Centenary Outstanding Novel Award Ceremony in Yingxuejieyuan. There was a little disturbance. All the junior brothers here may already know about it.
I would like to explain this matter."
Du Gongtai knocked on the table twice with his folding fan and said loudly:
"Senior brother, when you go out to fool around, you have to admit when you are wrong, and you have to stand at attention when you are beaten. What else is there to explain now?
More than 20 Green Tribulation Walkers attacked together just now. How many company assets were destroyed? Not to mention that our reputation in Thunder Bluff has been seriously damaged this time. In the future, we are bound to be suppressed by many forces, and the negative impact is immeasurable.
Sister-in-law Gou is a big taboo in the world, and Senior Brother Tai’s claim that Thunder Evil Sect is just getting involved in the power of ‘cloud cuckolds’. To put it bluntly, he is just selling the anxiety of cuckolds.
Senior Brother Pu, you risked the disapproval of the world and secretly practiced your magical power. Have you ever thought about the consequences of today?
Do you, the Lord of Qinggeng Peak, take all of you brothers seriously?"
Zhu Yuanzhi glared at Du Gongtai, his peach blossom eyes so wide that they were about to burst:
"You and Tai Feng didn't cheat and betray Senior Brother Pu first, otherwise how could such a thing happen?"
Tai Fengxian heyed twice and said:
"A'Zhu, if Junior Brother Du and I don't expose this matter now, I'm afraid that Qinggeng Peak will be destroyed by the time when Senior Brother Qingdi Pu of Jie Yuan has spread all over the shores of the sky and the sea and gathered one hundred and eight thousand powerful suffering masters.
If it is razed to the ground, the foundation that forty-six people and I have worked so hard to build will be destroyed.
You and Senior Brother Pu have always been on good terms, so do you know about this or not?"
Zhu Yuanzhi continued to glare at Tai and Du two, but could not say another word.
Pu Xuande sighed and said to Tai Feng:
"Ata, are you determined to cause a fight to the death?
People outside say that it is better to learn from Taoyuan than to learn from Thunder. I have always scoffed at it. I didn’t expect that brothers would really fight against each other now. I really can’t bear it..."
"Brother, you have been a bastard for tens of thousands of years, why are you pretending to be a Ninja Turtle now?"
Du Gongtai stood up and walked to Pu Xuande's seat, leaning over the thin Taoist priest.
"Ji Shen was just arguing with others and accidentally broke a Kukai lighthouse. You will drive him off Qinggeng Peak for 1,500 years and prohibit him from participating in the discussions in the palace.
Ashen, are you convinced?"
"Senior Brother Du, if you don't mention this, I will almost forget about it."
The white-robed Confucian scholar Ji Shen laughed and said:
"Senior Brother Pu is the Supreme Lord of Thunder. Naturally, whatever he says will be whatever he says. The thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness. I have no reason to be convinced or not."
Du Gongtai pointed at a man in black robe with countless tentacles coiled around his sleeves.
"Alien Thunder is also a true disciple of Qinggeng Peak. Just because it doesn't agree with your Zhenzong philosophy, it has been kept on the edge of the other side by your senior brother Pu. It can't even use the several air and sea ports controlled by Thunder Bluff.
Eddie, do you think Senior Brother Pu is fair in his dealings?"
The tentacles on the sleeves of the man in black robes rustled, and a low and strange voice came from the hood: "I am not as powerful as others, so I am convinced."
"Senior Brother Pu, who on Qinggeng Peak has not experienced the majesty of your Thunder Supreme?
Back then, in order to regenerate the world, you took away the twenty-four hair-fixing beads that I had worked so hard to refine for three thousand years. For the sake of the overall situation, I could only swallow my anger.
Today you have mastered the power of sleeping and treating Thunder Bluff's foundation as child's play. How can I endure it?
I only regret that I didn't stand up one day earlier.
How can Thunder Bluff's reputation be damaged if I do it all by myself?"
Pu Xuande said coldly: "Junior Brother Du, have you said enough?"
Du Gongtai sat back on his chair and said:
"I'm just talking about the matter. If Thunder Bluff wants to be prosperous for a long time, does it need to have clear rewards and punishments?
No matter how high your status is or what your status is, you must admit your mistakes."
Zhu Yuanzhi said angrily: "If you have something to say, say it directly, don't beat around the bush!"
Du Gongtai took a sip of tea, looked around and said:
"In every election, you, Master Pu, are the chairman of the board of directors. Who still remembers that Thunder Bluff has a rotating chairmanship system?
In the past few thousand years, there has been no election at all. Senior Brother Pu was automatically re-elected, so why not change it to a life-long system?"
Zhu Yuanzhi immediately said: "What's wrong with Senior Brother Pu sitting in this position? If you and Senior Brother Tai hadn't made the family scandal public, Thunder Bluff's development has been very smooth these years..."
"But things are not going well for me. I think I will be re-elected this year!"
The sound of Du Gongtai was like thunder, which made the celadon tea bowl on the table buzz.
“The root of the problem that Thunder Bluff is in such a state today is fake democracy!
People like Senior Brother Lian Pu can be re-elected as the Lord of Qinggeng Peak, and no one has spoken out against it for so many years, how poor is your sense of citizenship?!"
Pu Xuande said: "Junior Brother Du, do you really want to sit in this seat?"
"According to the rules, re-election is held every three hundred years. Am I qualified to stand for election?
Senior Brother Tai, tell me."
"Yes." Tai Feng nodded first, "That's the rule."
Du Gongtai slowed down his voice and said:
"I have done so much for Thunder Bluff over the years, I think everyone should be aware of it.
Bei Feng, we have been playing together since childhood, and we became famous by killing those orcs in Baichuanhaiji. Do you remember how glorious it was back then?"
"Remember." A man on the left holding a cat replied.
"Eight thousand and five hundred years ago, Senior Brother Pu ordered me to drive away the Atlanteans in World 415 on this side and take back all the waters of the extragalactic system. I did it.
Three thousand eight hundred years ago, I walked alone into the deep sea on the other side to open up the 97th Peak of Thunder Bluff to find an unclaimed plain. It took me thousands of years to finally successfully split the earth and lay a boundary monument.
After doing this, my body was trapped in the turbulence of the air and sea for a full two hundred and fifty-one years before returning.
In terms of merit and reward, I am definitely qualified to sit in this position, right?"
Du Gongtai pointed at Pu Xuande's tiger-skin chair with burning eyes.
"Yes." Pu Xuande nodded.
"Also, my brothers from Thunder Bluff came to me for help. Is there anything I haven't done properly? Huh?"
In the meeting hall, everyone in Thunder Bluff was whispering to each other.
"Yes, it's done properly every time."
"Senior Brother Du has really done a lot for the company over the years. There is no credit but hard work."
"yes."
Du Gongtai listened to the discussion in his ears and said to the silent Pu Xuande:
"Senior brother, of course it's comfortable for you to sit in Biyou Palace and use the remote control all day long. It's very hard for us to work outside."
Pu Xuande's eyes swept across everyone's face and said:
"I am a very democratic person. This year is the time when Qinggeng Peak is changing its leadership. If there is a candidate in everyone's mind, I am willing to abdicate in favor of someone else."
Du Gongtai unfolded his folding fan and said to Tai Feng:
"Senior Brother Tai, you are in charge of the overall situation."
Tai Feng first clapped his palms twice and said:
"All the brothers and sisters present today have the right to vote. I give you two nanoseconds to think about it.
Brothers and sisters, whoever chooses Junior Brother Du, please raise your hand."
Two nanoseconds later, Tai Fengxian was the first to raise his hand and said:
"If Junior Brother Du takes this position, I, Tai Fengxian, will be the first to agree.
Junior Brother Du is right, rewards and punishments should be clearly defined, and those who are capable should be placed there."
After a brief commotion, most of the forty-six friends of Thunder Bluff raised their right hands.
Zhu Yuan stood up to take pictures of the case, the small gourd on his waist dazzling with white light.
"What are you doing! How does Senior Brother Pu usually treat you? Put your hands down!"
Du Gongtai squinted his eyes and said with a strange air:
"A'Zhu, you are more vicious than Zhou Boxu's wife!"
Zhu Yuan pointed directly at Tai Fengxian's nose:
"You are the first to raise your hand, I will be the first to chop you!"
"A'Zhu, please think clearly before you speak."
Tai Fengxian touched his bald head with a smile on his face and made a little monk-like doll in his hand.
Zhu Yuanzhi wanted to speak, but Pu Xuande held his shoulders and pulled him down.
Pu Xuande slowly stood up from the tiger-skin chair and said:
"The election is fair. I am willing to accept the result. The position of the leader of Qinggeng Peak will be given to Junior Brother Du."
He walked to the side of the chair, took off the Qibao sapphire ring on his hand, put it on the table, and made a gesture of invitation to Du Gongtai.
"Let it cool for a while. A'Zhu is so fierce. I'm afraid I'll get hemorrhoids if I sit on it."
Du Gongtai put the Qibao sapphire ring on his hand and looked around with satisfaction.
"Dear brothers, since I sit in this position, I will definitely perform my duties.
Thunder Bluff has some long-standing shortcomings and it’s time to correct them!”
…
Yingxuejieyuan, a Jiugongge Malatang restaurant near Dongshan Hotel.
Liang De, Shen Shiyu and Jixiao were sitting at a table near the door, waiting for the skewers that went into the pot to be cooked.
Liang De used his cross-border mobile phone to dial Chang Duanxuan's video. The old man was sitting on the top of a green mountain with pines and cypresses, and said with a wicked smile on his face:
"Hahahahaha, Ade, you are so bold and you have done such a great thing!"
