Chapter 91 Main Hall
Chapter 91 Main Hall
The contempt in his tone was obvious to anyone.
It seems they've already decided that Ye Tian has absolutely no chance of competing with them for the position of hall master.
"..."
Ye Tian didn't speak, but simply smiled.
He stepped back, dodging the outstretched palm of the jade Buddha.
"Um?"
So disrespectful? The next moment, Ye Tian spoke directly.
"I think I have a pretty good chance. If seniority is all that matters, I heard that Senior Jade Buddha's father is almost seventy or eighty years old. Why don't we invite him out? What are we still doing here choosing?"
"you!"
Perhaps he really didn't expect Ye Tian to be so disrespectful to him.
"What did you say?!"
Before the Jade Buddha could get angry, the Crimson Tiger beside him stepped forward first.
She glared angrily at Ye Tian.
"Do you know who this is? How dare you speak to our Buddha like that? Do you have a death wish?"
This display of unwavering loyalty infuriated the others around the Jade Buddha.
Damn it, you're such a suck-up. How did you end up as a marginal figure when you were under Lei Tang? You shouldn't be called Red Tiger, you should be called Licking Tiger.
The Jade Buddha's expression softened, clearly indicating that he was very satisfied with the Red Tiger's performance.
just.
"Oh, I had no idea that our Blackwater Gang produced someone like Buddha."
This time, the sound came from outside the main hall.
next moment.
A figure swaggered in with a pigeon-toed gait.
"you..."
Red Tiger raised his hand, ready to curse.
But the Jade Buddha was a little anxious. Although he was fat, he was quick and immediately covered the Red Tiger's mouth.
Damn it, I know you're loyal, but here, not everyone can be challenged.
He looked over with a big smile on his face.
"Master Dao, you jest. My subordinate was ignorant and just spoke carelessly. I hope you won't misunderstand."
The newcomer was none other than Dao Gui, one of the leaders of the Blackwater Gang, and the two people following behind him were Huo Bao, also a leader, and Uncle Qian.
Before Dao Gui could say anything, Huo Bao angrily retorted.
"Don't you know any better? Do you even know where you are? If you know you don't know any better, then get out of here."
Uncle Qian, standing to the side, smiled kindly.
"Hot temper, when are you going to change it? Why are you arguing with the younger generation? Maybe they'll be the same hall master as you soon."
A seemingly casual remark carries a subtle, ambiguous tone that anyone can discern.
Even though the jade Buddha was displeased, he could only force a smile and dared not reply.
Even if the Jade Buddha were to become the Hall Master, he wouldn't dare to put on airs in front of three Hall Masters at the same time.
"What's wrong? Now that everyone's here, why aren't you doing anything? What are you all doing gathered here?"
A gentle voice rang out, and the old demon, along with Pig Sister and Poison Dragon, appeared in everyone's sight.
Although they were all hall masters, the six of them belonged to two completely different camps, clearly distinct from one another.
"snort!"
Upon seeing that it was Lao Yao and his group, Dao Gui let out a soft snort, but didn't say anything more, and directly led his people over to sit down.
The jade Buddha breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the old demon with gratitude.
If the old demon hadn't suddenly appeared, I probably would have been embarrassed for a while longer.
"Do your job well."
Facing the Jade Buddha's gaze, the old demon simply smiled and said something to the Jade Buddha with appreciation.
Pig Sister and Poison Dragon beside him both nodded and looked over.
"Thank you very much, Elder Demon!"
This scene filled Jade Buddha with joy, completely unaware of the fleeting gloom on the faces of Knife Ghost and the others.
Even though the Jade Buddha's influence is considerable, the conflicts between the hall masters are not something that can be easily observed.
They were completely unaware of the undercurrents running beneath the surface.
As for Ye Tian, the old demon did not pretend to ignore him. Instead, he glanced at him and nodded simply. His attitude was much calmer than when he was facing the jade Buddha.
As if dealing with a stranger, I walked past without exchanging a word.
This is the normal reaction. If you ignore it or deliberately belittle it, then the problem will be noticed. Everyone who can sit in the position of hall master is skilled in this area and has come up from the ranks of intrigue and power struggles.
The jade Buddha became even more excited, its gaze towards Ye Tian carrying a hint of provocation.
"Look, I've already gained the favor of several hall masters, and what about you?"
He became even more convinced that the position of hall master was rightfully his.
Ye Tian didn't bother to pay attention.
Six hall masters have arrived. The next gang leader, deputy gang leader, and the last hall master should arrive soon.
Ye Tian's gaze swept over each of these people, as if he were analyzing something.
As her name suggests, Sister Pig weighs three to four hundred pounds, making her look like a mountain of flesh from afar, even more exaggerated than a jade Buddha.
Poison Dragon appears unassuming, his entire body wrapped in a cloak. I had heard Lao Yao mention before that Poison Dragon joined the Blackwater Gang with Lao Yao back then, and he was a brother who had been by Lao Yao's side since Lao Yao started his adventures in the martial arts world.
As for the Demon Blade, their situations are also quite different.
Finally, as time passed, everyone began to arrive.
The last hall master was known as Iron Wall Hand, and his arms were embroidered with incomprehensible patterns.
Then came the gang leader, and then the deputy gang leader.
"Boss!"
The moment the gang leader appeared, everyone looked up at him in unison.
Ye Tian also looked over, his eyes filled with curiosity.
I've heard some rumors that the Blackwater Gang leader's original name was Hei Luo. He got the position because he inherited his father's business.
But the fact that Hei Luo was able to hold onto his position as gang leader shows that he is quite capable.
"Please sit down!"
After everyone had sat down, Hei Luo raised his hand, gesturing for them to sit down as well.
"I never expected that so many things could happen in the Blackwater Gang in just a few days. Even the gang leader was killed by one of my underlings. Is it possible that in a few more days, someone will also kill me, the gang leader?"
When Hei Luo spoke, his expression was indifferent and calm.
But the more this is the case, the more immense the pressure becomes.
"Rest assured, Boss, we will punish such people severely and ensure that this never happens again."
His subordinates repeatedly assured him.
"snort!"
A cold snort.
Hei Luo originally only intended to use this incident to give a warning to a few hall masters.
Otherwise, over time, his authority as the gang leader would diminish.
"Alright, since its inception, the Blackwater Gang has had eight hall masters, and none of them can be missing. Now that Sen Lao is gone, it's time to make up the number of eight hall masters."
talking.
His gaze swept over Ye Tian and the jade Buddha.
It's obvious that these two people are the most qualified to compete for the position of hall master left behind by Sen Lao.
The moment Hei Luo's gaze swept over, Yu Fo's face was full of smiles. He had sent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, so he must be more familiar to Hei Luo than Ye Tian.
Compared to the jade Buddha, Ye Tian's attitude was much calmer.
"Boss!"
"Um!"
