Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

As soon as Lu Wensheng entered the door, Tang He followed behind and pointed out the location.

"Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Ji is there!"

Ji Yanli was dressed in a black silk dress with a moon-white gold belt with auspicious cloud patterns. The cuffs were embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns in gold thread. His flowing hair was tied up high with a black headband, seeming to blend into the dim corner.

His black eyebrows were long and deep into his temples, his clothes blew in the wind, his face was handsome, his eyes were drooping, his long and thick black eyelashes trembled slightly, hiding the emotions rising in his eyes, he stood outside the door of the Discipline Hall, seemed to be distracted.

Next to him stood a reserved middle-aged man, rubbing his hands and stealing glances at Ji Yanli from time to time. Lu Wensheng did not know this man.

"Senior Brother Ji." Lu Wensheng went over and greeted him. His eyes met with the strange middle-aged man and he nodded politely.

"What do you want to discuss with me?"

Ji Yanli nodded and shook his head, and was silent for a while, as if thinking about his words, then turned to look at the middle-aged man next to him.

"He is the one looking for you."

The middle-aged man was wearing a navy blue robe. There were no patterns on the clothes, but the texture was soft and had a low-key luxury. His hair was combed neatly with a few strands of silver on his temples. There was a hint of cunning and shrewdness on his face.

Seeing that it was his turn to speak, he hurriedly came forward, bowed repeatedly, with a flattering look on his face and a low voice.

"Greetings to the First Disciple Lu. I am the outer sect manager, Wang Fuyi. I came to visit the First Disciple about the artificial furnace tripod in Tianxian Building... The First Disciple Lu is the person in charge of the Tianxian Building incident. As soon as I got the news, I came to report to you without stopping!"

Ji Yanli frowned: "Why are you lying?"

Wang Fuyi, who had been talking nonstop, was stunned: "What does Ji Shoutu mean?"

"You were the one who insisted on telling me that you were in charge of this matter. After I refused, you dragged me over to find Junior Brother Lu. How can you be considered as 'as soon as I got the news' and 'as soon as I could'? And you used these words to deceive Junior Brother Lu in front of me?!"

Wang Fuyi: "...Ji Shoutu, it's unfair!" This is just a polite remark!!!

[Hahahaha, isn't Ji Yanli a little too straightforward?] The system laughed.

This made Lu Wensheng unable to hold back his laughter: "Ahem, Manager Wang, if you have something to say, just tell me directly."

Wang Fuyi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this person could understand him, otherwise he would have almost suffered a career Waterloo - Ji Shoutu couldn't even tell the difference between good and bad words!

"Ahem, it's like this. We're going to deal with those people tomorrow. I want to ask about the arrangements for the victims of the Tianxian Building's furnace tomorrow, and see where to place them first..."

Lu Wensheng frowned: "What do you mean? The victims won't be present during the trial? And we need to find a special place to keep them?! Who made the decision?"

Wang Fuyi's first impression of Lu Wensheng was that he was friendly. He didn't expect that after just two sentences, the other party's expression changed, his eyebrows slightly frowned, his eyes turned cold, and his aura seemed even more terrifying than that of the cold and indifferent Ji Yanli.

As expected, he had taken it for granted. How could the chief disciple of the Discipline Hall, a prominent figure in the sect, be easy to talk to? ——Wang Fuyi was startled, his mind was in a mess.

"No one mentioned the decision, and everyone thought it was tacitly agreed upon... I was just worried that someone would mind. It's understandable that those people were not allowed to come to the trial site. It's inappropriate - after all, they are the cauldrons." The status of the cauldron is no different from that of a mortal's concubine.

What is it to punish the murderer without letting the victim witness? ! Doesn't the meaning of the trial change? -- Isn't the trial of Tianxianlou just an explanation made by the top leaders for the sake of face? Does it still have anything to do with the victims? The focus is all wrong.

And isn't this behavior a blatant form of discrimination and contempt? It's not like the victim wants to be the cauldron...

Wang Fuyi thought he had finished explaining it in a logical and emotional way, but he saw that Lu Wensheng's brows were getting more and more furrowed as he listened, and he suddenly dared not speak.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. As for those who may mind what you said, I don't think it's understandable to base your prejudice on the suffering of others. If anyone feels dissatisfied, ask him to come to me and I'll talk to him in person."

If you want others to do you a favor, you have to be the bad guy yourself - Lu Wensheng did not make things difficult for Wang Fuyi. He just asked Wang Fuyi to make the arrangements and to contact him if there was anything.

He knew that these managers sometimes had difficulties doing their jobs at the grassroots level. If they were asked to do things beyond their capabilities, not only would they not do the job well, but it would also put them in a bad situation.

Wang Fuyi realized the meaning behind Lu Wensheng's words and felt much more at ease. He had a good impression of Lu Wensheng - he knew that one should not be too nice to a boss who does not take on tasks that he does not have the skills to do.

Lu Wensheng's originally happy mood after returning home was gone instantly. Tang He thought he was a very motivated person. Seeing Lu Wensheng frowning, he immediately expressed his willingness to cooperate with Wang Fuyi to deal with this matter - if he did a good job, he could ask Senior Brother Lu to give him extra points, and he could get a few more spirit stones at the end of the month!!!

Seeing that Tang He's eyes were shining, Lu Wensheng knew what the other person was thinking with his toes, and nodded.

"I'll give you extra points later."

Tang He: Oh yeah! As expected, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!!!

Seeing Tang He happily following Wang Fuyi, while Ji Yanli stood there without moving, Lu Wensheng was curious.

"Brother Ji, is there anything else?"

"When are you free? Let's practice sword fighting together."

Others either lacked the strength or were restricted when working with Ji Yanli - he couldn't find anyone to spar with.

"I have a lot of things to do. Why don't you go find Brother Liu, Senior Brother Ji?"

Ji Yanli frowned: "Not familiar."

Lu Wensheng: Didn't you realize that Ji Yanli actually has some social anxiety? But it's true, with him involved, the two of them don't seem to have much to do with each other.

"Isn't the chief of Lingxiao Sect here too? Senior Brother Ji can go find him!"

"Even less familiar." Ji Yanli snorted.

If Junior Brother Lu doesn't want to, he can just say so. Why bother to use other people to evade him? - Ji Yanli felt that he was being disliked.

Ji Yanli: I was sad, so I didn’t say anything and asked Junior Brother Lu to guess it himself.

Lu Wensheng couldn't guess, and he stared at the other party. Faced with Ji Yanli's increasingly resentful gaze, he felt a little embarrassed and found an excuse to slip away.

He still remembered what Wang Fuyi said, about going to pay a visit to the Grand Elder - after such a long time, this was the first time he came here on his own initiative, and it was because he had something to ask for, and he felt embarrassed, as he was not really qualified to be a junior.

The boys at the door of the Grand Elder were very enthusiastic. Lu Wensheng didn't know them, but they recognized Lu Wensheng at a glance.

"The Grand Elder is in the cave, please come in quickly, Deer Head disciple!"
