Chapter 13022
Lin Yi was puzzled: "What do you mean? Could it be that you put his immortal divine equipment up for auction without the consent of your former chief?"
The saying "when people leave, the tea cools" applies everywhere, but to go to this extent, even Lin Yi couldn't help but feel it was a bit exaggerated.
Zhao Gongming smiled wryly and said, "That's not true. In theory, the Myriad Phenomena End is indeed a public property of the academy, but Jiang Wushe is, after all, the former chief. If he hadn't handed it over himself, no one would have made things difficult for him over this matter."
After a pause, he revealed, "Although our Chief has stepped down, he is very influential. More than a third of the decision-making elders were personally promoted by him."
"Even the current chief executive has to be very polite to him."
Lin Yi found it increasingly strange: "Since he handed over the End of All Things voluntarily, there shouldn't be any problem even if he untied it, right?"
Zhao Gongming said helplessly, "Untying the bond requires Jiang Wushe's personal approval. The problem now is that he chose to go into seclusion after stepping down as chief and has not seen anyone."
"Let alone someone of Jin Buhuan's level, even if I went there in person, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to open the door to his secret realm."
Lin Yi thought for a moment: "Given your status, Elder Zhao, it might not be appropriate for you to go see him, would it?"
Zhao Gongming smiled wryly and said, "That's true."
His ability to rise to the position of decision-making elder and law enforcement elder is not only due to his own strong qualifications and achievements, but most importantly, it is due to the support of the current chief.
Between the former chief and the current chief, especially since Jiang Wushe is a deeply entrenched figure, it would be unbelievable even to a dog to say there is absolutely no animosity between them.
As soon as he took office, he went to see Jiang Wushe. No matter how legitimate his reasons were, in the eyes of others, it was a gesture of taking sides.
The current chief promoted you, and you turn around and go to the former chief to take sides. What will people think?
Lin Yi scratched his head: "So, this matter can't be resolved?"
Zhao Gongming thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I'll think of a way."
Lin Yi did not refuse: "Then I will wait for Elder Zhao's news."
Meanwhile, a piece of news was rapidly spreading throughout the entire God of Wealth Academy.
"Have you heard? Former Chief Jiang Wushe's Myriad Manifestations was snatched up by someone for just ten coins!"
"Ten coins? Isn't that the starting price? Isn't this practically free?"
"Isn't that right? This is the iconic divine armor of our God of Wealth Academy. Lord Jiang used it for so many years, and it's only been a short time since he stepped down, and now it's being sold off cheaply."
"This isn't how you treat someone who's no longer around! It's outrageous!"
"Hehe, do you know who orchestrated all of this behind the scenes? It's the newly appointed Elder of Law Enforcement, Zhao Gongming. He colluded with outsiders to pull this stunt and send away our God of Wealth Academy's prized possession."
"Isn't that betraying one's own people?"
"Shh, you can't say that. He's an elder in charge of law enforcement. If he hears us, we'll be in trouble."
"So what if he's the Elder of Law Enforcement? He's allowed to betray his own people, but we're not allowed to speak out? I propose that we all jointly petition the decision-makers to bring back the End of All Things!"
"That's right, our academy's prized possession cannot be given away to outsiders so easily!"
With this encouragement, a large group of people immediately gathered and collectively petitioned and pressured the higher-ups of the God of Wealth Academy.
Qian Tongtian watched this scene from the shadows, secretly sneering.
He really made a fool of himself at the auction.
Now that Zhao Gongming has taken up the position of law enforcement elder, it is simply impossible for him to remove him from his post based on his own power alone.
But to expect him to give up so easily is absolutely impossible!
Regardless, he had to seize the opportunity to give Zhao Gongming a good dressing down.
However, simply inciting public opinion among the lower classes can at most cause Zhao Gongming some trouble; it is simply unrealistic to think that he can be brought down.
Qian Tongtian immediately took out a communication talisman: "I would like to request an audience with Lord Jiang Wushe. Please make arrangements for me."
Inside the God of Wealth Academy, in a private secret place.
Jiang Wushe, with his white hair and beard, sat cross-legged on the stone platform.
Qian Tongtian knelt before him, his forehead touching the ground, his face full of grievance and resentment.
"My Lord! Zhao Gongming colluded with outsiders and sold off your Myriad Realms of Destiny for a pittance!"
Qian Tongtian said indignantly, "A country bumpkin from a small place in Tianjun, with Zhao Gongming's protection, used only ten bidding coins to win the Wanxiang End, which has been with you for many years!"
Jiang Wushe closed his eyes to rest and remained silent.
Qian Tongtian continued, his eyes red, "You are the soul of our God of Wealth Academy. The Academy's current prestige is all thanks to your hard work, sir."
"The divine equipment you used is the face of our academy, and it should be enshrined for everyone to admire!"
"Lin Yi is just an ignorant bumpkin, he's not worthy of your divine equipment at all!"
"Zhao Gongming and Lin Yi are colluding with each other, clearly betraying their own side. Zhao Gongming has only just taken office, yet he dares to act so blatantly. Won't he become even more lawless in the future?"
Qian Tongtian raised his head, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Your subordinate begs the Chief to step in and take back the Myriad Manifestations End. The symbol of my God of Wealth Academy must not fall into the hands of villains!"
After saying that, he slammed his head heavily to the ground again.
It was very powerful and made a loud noise.
With no response from ahead, Qian Tongtian grew increasingly anxious.
He took a considerable risk this time.
As the former chief, the other party held a very awkward position in the God of Wealth Academy. Since stepping down, he has chosen to go into seclusion.
On the one hand, it is necessary for cultivation, but on the other hand, it is also to avoid such an awkward situation.
Zhao Gongming dared not rashly request an audience with Jiang Wushe, and neither did the other high-ranking elders.
Qian Tongtian came here today, ostensibly for the matter of the end of all things, but thinking about it more deeply, it was actually a choice of sides.
He chose to side with the former chief executive.
The reason is simple: the current chief has chosen Zhao Gongming, leaving no room for Qian Tongtian, so he has no other choice.
With trepidation, Jiang Wushe's voice finally rang out.
"To correct you, I am not the chief now, so please don't call me by the wrong name."
Qian Tongtian was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "In my heart, you will always be the Chief. Without your personal guidance, I wouldn't be where I am today!"
Then came another round of grand declarations of loyalty.
Jiang Wushe looked at him for a few seconds, then finally waved his hand and said, "I understand. You can go back now."
Qian Tongtian was slightly taken aback.
Today, he used the excuse of the end of all things to curry favor with this former chief, intending to curry favor with someone who had been neglected.
Although Jiang Wushe is a thing of the past for the God of Wealth Academy, his influence remains deep and powerful. (End of Chapter)
