In fact, except for Chen Hao, everyone else has participated in the previous demon tides. Once they know the distribution of the united front, it is impossible to change the results.
Just like the army in wartime, soldiers have no right to choose which unit they belong to and must obey orders unconditionally.
What's more, they are late. Even if there is a legitimate reason, the hall master will not agree.
Yu Houshui said: "The only thing we hope now is that Miao Shulin will not make things too difficult for us. We should also be mentally prepared and never be hostile to him. Otherwise, as an elder, he will have many ways to retaliate against us. During the great tide of demons,
But it’s fatal.”
Everyone nodded.
They followed the monk's instructions and came to the sixth hall in the southeast direction on the third floor.
The hall door is closed.
Yu Houshui stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Dong Dong Dong... "Who?"
A somewhat stiff middle-aged man's voice came from the hall.
Yu Houshui said: "Excuse me, is Elder Miao Shulin here?
We are the Lingxiao, Kuangsha, Canghai, and Dengli sects from the southeastern corner of the southern border. We have obeyed the alliance's call and come here to report."
The voice made a sound and said: "Come in."
Yu Houshui opened the door of the hall and poured in with everyone from the three factions.
The hall is very large, covering thousands of square meters, but the furnishings are very simple, with only a few desks and a dozen chairs.
The chairs were filled with monks, men, women, old and young, wearing different costumes.
There are more monks standing behind the chairs. Judging from their clothes, they should belong to various cultivation sects or organizations.
Sitting on a wide Taishi chair in the middle was a tall, thin, tall and straight middle-aged man, like a tree.
He has a yellow complexion, an ordinary appearance, cold eyes, and slender eyebrows, giving him a cold and mean look.
Seeing Yu Houshui and others coming in, everyone in the hall turned their heads and looked over.
"The junior leader of the Lingxiao Sect, Yu Houshui, led his disciples to see Elder Miao."
Yu Houshui took the lead to step forward and salute the middle-aged man, then turned back to signal.
Lei Tieyin, Wan Hongfei, and Chen Hao understood and stepped forward to salute.
"Lei Tieyin, the junior leader of the Kuangsha Sect, led his disciples to see Elder Miao."
"Wan Hongfei, the junior leader of Canghai Sect, led his disciples to see Elder Miao."
"I am sent by Dengli to send you a guest, Elder Chen Hao, and I have met Elder Miao."
Then Wu Yuanzhou, Li Suning, Fang Zhen and other disciples saluted Miao Shulin together.
Miao Shulin said nothing, with an indifferent expression. He glanced at everyone one by one with his sinister eyes. After a long while, he said calmly: "I know you four factions. In the past, you were all under the management of Fang Ziqiang."
Yu Houshui said: "Yes, Elder Miao."
Miao Shulin said: "Since you are here, you must also know that Fang Ziqiang has died in the battle, and the hall has decided to transfer you, Fang Ziqiang's subordinates, to my subordinates?"
Yu Houshui gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, we already know."
Miao Shulin looked at him and said slowly: "Yu Houshui, Fang Ziqiang and you have always had a good relationship. He is your only supporter in the alliance. You also know that I have a bad relationship with him. Now Fang Ziqiang is pissed.
You fell into my hands again, and I really want to know how you feel now?"
He said, showing a malicious sneer like a squeeze.
The expressions of everyone from the three factions changed.
Although Yu Houshui had mentioned the relationship between Miao Shulin's temperament and Fang Ziqiang before, he didn't expect that he would ask such a question just after they met.
Isn't this just embarrassing to Hou Shui?
Yu Houshui was very calm, as if it was expected, and said neither humble nor arrogant: "Elder Fang does have a very good relationship with the junior, a teacher-friend relationship. In the past, we have cooperated very smoothly with the demon tide.
However, Elder Fang is not the junior’s backer in the alliance, and the junior does not rely on his relationship with Elder Fang to take advantage or obtain benefits.
In the past, when there was a huge wave of monsters, Elder Fang always adhered to the principle of fairness, justice and openness when assigning specific battles to his subordinates, and everyone was convinced."
"In this wave of demons, after we arrived at the front line and heard the bad news about Elder Fang's unfortunate death, we felt very sad and angry. However, we cannot immerse ourselves in our emotions. Instead, we must turn our sadness and anger into strength, give full play to ourselves, and fight against the demons. Only then can we
This is the best way to avenge Elder Fang and comfort his spirit in heaven."
"Elder Fang and Elder Miao have some minor conflicts, and this junior has also heard about it, but it is none of our business.
I believe that Elder Miao, your lord, will not care about trivial personal grudges when facing the big issue of fighting against the demon tide. Instead, like Elder Fang, you will treat all your subordinates fairly and openly, defeat the demons, and avenge Elder Fang.
I'm sorry, I believe that if Elder Fang knew what he was doing, he would be very happy to see you do this and regret not reconciling with you earlier and being a good friend and brother."
After saying that, Yu Houshui bowed and clasped his fists.
Beautiful! After listening to it, everyone praised it in their hearts.
Yu Houshui's words were neither humble nor arrogant. He did not spurn Fang Ziqiang and please Miao Shulin just because Fang Ziqiang died and he and others fell into the hands of his old enemy Miao Shulin.
If Yu Houshui said this, he would have fallen into Miao Shulin's trap, and it would be easy for others to look down on him.
Moreover, Yu Houshui had no taboos and frankly stated that he had a good relationship with Fang Ziqiang. While expressing his true feelings, he did not say that Fang Ziqiang was his supporter.
After all, the matter of backing is okay as a hidden rule, but not on the table.
Moreover, Yu Houshui also used this topic to express his views. On the surface, he was praising Miao Shulin, but in fact, he was using words to suppress it.
You see, Fang Ziqiang and I have such a good relationship and we both maintain fairness and justice. If you treat us unfairly and seek personal revenge based on past grievances, wouldn't it mean that you are narrow-minded and have bad conduct?
I have said so, Elder Huashen, do you still have the nerve to suppress us?
At least on the surface you have to be careful.
Chen Hao also secretly admired: "Ginger is still hotter when he is old..." After hearing this, Miao Shulin's smile disappeared from his face, revealing a hint of coldness.
But soon, he laughed coldly, clapped his hands and said, "Well said, well said, Yu Houshui, I haven't seen you for decades, your cultivation has not changed much, but your talk has become more and more bad."
Yu Houshui smiled lightly: "Elder Miao was so complimentary."
Miao Shulin said slowly: "Since you said that in public, of course I have to be fair, just, open, and impartial as you said, otherwise I won't be outdone by that old guy Fang Ziqiang, even though he is already dead.
, but you, the former subordinates, will inevitably make comparisons, so I must be the same as him, or even do better."
He continued: "Since we want to be fair, just and open, fine, come on, come on, explain why you were late after the league call-up?
Do you know that the time you arrived has far exceeded the bottom line required by the alliance to arrive at the latest!"
