Chapter 1069: Rat in Trouble
Zhang Renhao pointed to the empty seat on the right and said to Xu Changshou, "Fellow Daoist Wang Hai, please take a seat."
"Ok!"
Xu Changshou nodded slightly and walked towards the empty seat.
This empty seat used to be the seat of the third in command, Mai. Zhang Renhao let him sit in this seat because he wanted him to be the third in command.
For Xu Changshou, being the third in command is a good thing. After all, if he wants any skin in the future, he can directly issue a task without going to the Qingmu Rift Valley in person. This way he can save a lot of time for cultivation.
"Wait!"
Zishu, wearing a rat-faced mask, stood up, took a step forward, and blocked Xu Changshou's way.
Then, he bowed to Zhang Renhao and said, "Boss, I think that Fellow Daoist Wang Hai is just a peripheral member, and it is not appropriate to let him take the position of Third Boss directly. It would be better to let him be a deacon first. After all, he is only in the late Fusion stage, and his cultivation is not good. If outsiders knew that our Third Boss was only a cultivator in the late Fusion stage, he would be ridiculed."
"This one……"
Zhang Renhao hesitated.
Xu Changshou glanced at Zishu and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zishu, are deacons considered core members?"
Zishu nodded and said, "We, the deacons, are of course core members."
Xu Changshou asked again: "Can the deacon issue a task?"
Zishu nodded again: "Of course, deacons can also issue tasks."
"Ok!"
Xu Changshou nodded and said no more. As long as he could issue tasks, it didn't matter whether he was the third in command or not.
Zhang Renhao glanced at Zishu and said, "Our demon-suppressing adventure group has always had twelve deacons and three heads. If we let Fellow Daoist Wang Hai be the deacon, who will be the third head?"
"Forehead……"
The Rat lowered his head and winked at the Snake across from him. The Snake understood, stood up, clasped his fists, and said, "Our third in command will naturally be chosen from among the twelve deacons. Whoever is the strongest will be the third in command."
At this point, Sishe pointed at Zishu and said, "Daoyou Zishu's strength is obvious to all. I think it would be best to let Daoyou Zishu be our third in command."
The Rat hurriedly pretended to make excuses, saying, "This is inappropriate. How can I be so worthy of such a request..."
"Fellow Daoist Zishu, you are the one and only one to be the third in command."
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Zishu's strength is obvious to all."
"I also think that Fellow Daoist Zishu is capable of doing this."
Among the twelve deacons, some spoke like this, while others looked unhappy.
Xu Changshou was very sharp-minded. He could tell at a glance that this Rat wanted to be the third in command, and he had secretly bribed some people to support him.
In the world of cultivating immortals, seating is very particular. Whoever is stronger will sit closer to the front. This is an iron rule.
Since Rat can sit on the top seat among the twelve deacons, there is no doubt that his strength is definitely the strongest among the twelve deacons.
The one sitting in the second position is Chou Niu, that is, Qiu Lin, which means that in terms of strength, Qiu Lin is the second.
At this time, the rat jumped out, and Qiu Lin's face looked a little unhappy.
In the crowd, some people had the same unhappy expressions as Qiu Lin, which meant that the twelve deacons were divided into two camps, one was the Rat faction, and the other was the Ox faction, which was Qiu Lin's faction.
Obviously, Qiu Lin also has the ability to become the third in command and can be considered a competitor of Rat.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes; where there are interests, there are disputes. Although the Monster-Slaying Adventure Group is small, there will still be party struggles.
To be honest, Xu Changshou had no interest in participating in their party struggles.
At this time, Qiu Lin stood up, glanced at Zishu, and said, "Fellow Daoist Zishu, according to our group's agreement, whoever avenges the Third Master will be qualified to take over the position. The Third Master's revenge was not yours, so it's not appropriate for you to be the Third Master."
"Yes, didn't the big boss say that whoever avenges the third boss will be the third boss."
"I think what Daoist Chou Niu said makes sense."
"Fellow Daoist Chou Niu is right."
As soon as Qiu Lin opened his mouth, many people agreed.
When Zishu heard this, his face looked a little unhappy.
Qiu Lin looked at Xu Changshou and said, "It was this Daoist Wang Hai who killed Jade-faced Shura. He avenged our Third In Command. Daoist Wang Hai should be made the Third In Command."
Xu Changshou couldn't help scratching his head when he heard this. He couldn't imagine that Qiu Lin would recommend him to be the third in command.
But think about it, Zishu is stronger than him. If he doesn't take the position, Zishu will take the position, and it won't be his turn.
In Qiu Lin's opinion, it would be better for him to be the rat.
"Fellow Daoist Chou Niu, what you said is wrong. The position of honor has always been held by the capable. He is only in the late stage of fusion. If we let him be the third in command, I am afraid that people will laugh at us."
"Yes, the position of honor belongs to the capable. I think Fellow Daoist Zishu is suitable."
"No, Fellow Daoist Zishu didn't help the Third Master to get revenge, so it's not right."
"So what? It's better than letting an outsider be the third in command."
……
A group of people were arguing so hard that their faces were red and their necks were thick. Xu Changshou was not interested in it and just watched the show from the side with his shoulders folded.
"Okay, stop arguing!"
Zhang Renhao waved his sleeves, and everyone quieted down. He looked at Xu Changshou and asked, "Fellow Daoist Wang Hai, what do you think about this matter?"
Xu Changshou yawned and said, "I can do anything. If I can't be the third in command, I can be a deacon."
This is what Xu Changshou really thinks. With so many people vying for the position of the third in command, it would be better to be a deacon and live a comfortable life.
After hearing his words, the second in command, Kuzhu, took advantage of the situation and said, "Since fellow Daoist Wang Hai is willing to be the deacon, why not let him be the deacon and let fellow Daoist Zishu be our third in command."
"This..." Zhang Renhao hesitated.
To be honest, he also had concerns about letting Xu Changshou, a newcomer, be the third in command.
Firstly, Xu Changshou looks very young and lacks strength, so making him the third in command is not enough to convince the people.
Secondly, Xu Changshou is a newcomer after all and is not trustworthy.
The main reason was that he had already spread the word that whoever killed Jade-faced Shura would be the third in command. He didn't let Xu Changshou be the third in command because he was afraid that others would say he was not trustworthy. Since Xu Changshou himself was willing to be a deacon, no one would say anything.
"Hahaha!"
The Rat laughed heartily and said, "Everyone, it seems that Daoist Wang Hai has self-awareness."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Renhao and said, "Master, in my opinion, we should arrange for Fellow Daoist Wang Hai to be a new deacon first. After a few tests, if he passes the assessment, he can be included in the ranks of the twelve deacons."
After hearing his words, Xu Changshou frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Zhang Renhao nodded slightly, looked at Xu Changshou, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Wang Hai, are you willing to be the new deacon first?"
Xu Changshou asked, "What is a new deacon?"
The second in command, Kuzhu, smiled and said, "It's the undecided deacon."
Xu Changshou asked again: "Can the pending deacon issue the task?"
Zishu smiled and said, "Not yet. Once you become a real deacon, you can."
