Chapter 287: Yin Jiaozhu's Relief
Chapter 287: Yin Jiaozhu's Relief
Yin Shengong burst into hearty laughter.
He couldn't help but feel an overwhelming joy.
If it were any other time, successfully establishing a branch office would probably only warrant a glance and a casual compliment from Yin Shengong.
If this branch office were to infiltrate the Guardian Pavilion and ensure complete safety, Yin Shengong would merely offer a slight reward and encouragement, saying, "Well done."
From then on, he would include this branch office in the key cultivation units.
In the future, whenever there were matters or benefits, this branch office would be given priority consideration.
But that would be the extent of it.
However, times have changed. What is the situation now?
To be blunt, this is a life-and-death moment for the One Mind Sect!
The team sent by the One Mind Sect to establish the branch office has been completely annihilated!
They are on the verge of demotion!
Yin Shengong's reputation is about to be tarnished!
He is about to face ridicule from the Night Demon Sect, the Three Saints Sect, and other sect leaders.
Yin Shengong is already lying down, waiting to be mocked!
And just at this moment, Night Demon delivered an incredible achievement!
He has established a super branch office that could even be ranked among the top branches of all the sects under the headquarters of the Only Righteous Sect!
With the exception of not having a Huangji Gaoshou as its leader, this branch office's capabilities are so impressive that it could be considered a branch pavilion!
Although Night Demon used some underhanded methods... throughout history, which successful person hasn't employed such tactics?
Can one achieve success without using any means?
Moreover, Night Demon skillfully manipulated multiple identities, setting up the entire operation, and played everyone like a puppet on a string.
This maneuver was like walking a tightrope, but it was executed with unparalleled precision!
Additionally, this operation has established connections with the headquarters! Although they are only peripheral associates, and their cultivation is not high...
But... they are still from the headquarters!
In the future, these connections will be valuable resources and relationships, providing support and assistance!
And all of these belong to Night Demon!
But... if they belong to Night Demon, don't they also belong to me?
After all, I am his teacher, and I taught him well, didn't I?
"Impressive! Truly remarkable!"
Yin Shengong excitedly held the communication jade and paced around the room, feeling an urge to share his joy immediately.
However, he suppressed this impulse.
"Don't speak about this branch office!
It must remain confidential within a small circle!
If it were to be exposed, I will promote this branch office as a 'Secret Star' important branch office!
Thinking about it, Yin Shengong began to reply.
"Excellent! As expected, when you take the initiative, you never disappoint me. You must manage it well and develop this branch office according to your plans!"
"Absolutely no mistakes!"
"If these people from the headquarters leave one day, I will immediately transfer high-level experts from the sect to reinforce your escort agency!"
"Ensure stability!"
Fang Che immediately responded, "Master, I have intimidated them, so I made them swear an oath to the Heavenly Scorpion Deity to follow my instructions and conduct their business legally through proper channels. I don't trust them; they are all used to killing without batting an eye. What if something goes wrong... wouldn't that hinder your grand plans?"
Yin Shengong flew into a rage, "Nonsense! Aren't my people stronger than those I cultivated? Who among them isn't an upstanding citizen when they leave?"
"They are all model citizens!"
"If they cause trouble and expose the branch office, affecting its reputation... could I possibly spare them? You, you little brat, dare you look down on me, your master?"
Yin Shengong's mood was exhilarated, his spirits high, and his face flushed with joy as he thundered.
"Master, I spoke out of turn!"
"You must not make mistakes!"
Yin Shengong sternly admonished, "Especially regarding the branch office, only success is permitted, failure is not an option!"
"Yes, Master!"
"Inform me immediately of any progress!"
"Yes, Master!"
"Notify me right away if there's any development!"
"Yes, Master!"
"I'm recording a major merit for you!"
Yin Shengong couldn't contain himself.
"Thank you, Master."
The communication ended.
Yin Shengong's smile was radiant as he strode out, as if riding on clouds and mist, his gait graceful and carefree.
Each step exuded ease and contentment.
Mei Daren approached, "Hey, Yin Jiaozhu, you seem to be in a good mood?"
Yin Shengong smiled faintly, "Mei Daren, you know... well, since resistance is futile, why not find some joy in it?"
Mei Daren was taken aback, "Yin Jiaozhu, are you talking about being raped?"
Yin Shengong: "???"
When did I ever say such disgusting words to you?
He glared, "My fifteen teams were completely wiped out, is Mei Daren here to mock me?"
Mei Daren looked at him suspiciously, "I feel like you're hiding something from me, old man."
"No, absolutely not, I just feel a great relief, having let go of everything."
Yin Shengong sighed, "Sect Master Mei, it's fate! This truly is fate. Think of all the hardships I've endured over the years, and how many years have the elders of the One Mind Sect worked tirelessly? Finally, we've reached the second rank! It wasn't easy, ah!"
Sect Master Mei couldn't help but empathize, "Yes, so many years of hard work... We've achieved it, but now we're about to fall back down, alas."
Yin Shengong glanced at him sideways and said indifferently, "Yes, we're about to fall back down. If it's not fate, what is it? Otherwise, it's better not to see hope at all. If we've risen, don't let me fall back down again... Alas!"
"It's truly unbearable."
Sect Master Mei offered comfort, "Why don't I accompany you for a drink tonight?"
"Then let's have a drink."
Yin Shengong's face was filled with sorrow, and he forced a bitter smile, "Now, my state of mind is calm, and I've come to terms with it. Moreover, I feel... a sense of lightness, like I don't want to do anything at all..."
He was referring to his feelings over the past few days, not his current emotions.
However, this feeling was incredibly relatable.
It made one want to offer comfort instinctively.
For example, if you made a fortune or achieved something significant, you'd want to celebrate with a drink, but those who drink with you often feel worse than if they had failed themselves.
Complimenting you would be like cutting themselves.
But when you fail and drown your sorrows in alcohol, those who drink with you offer genuine comfort from the heart.
They would drink joyfully and even manage to maintain an air of superiority.
They would console you, comfort you, watch your pain, and laugh at your jokes.
For them, this was truly... the most beautiful moment in life.
So, Sect Master Mei was sincerely comforting Yin Shengong.
"Sect Master Yin, I understand this feeling. I've experienced it many times before, but how should I put it... These things are genuinely normal. The more you desire something, the less likely it is to happen."
Sect Master Mei sighed, "The ups and downs, this is the true essence of life."
Yin Shengong nodded in sorrow, "Yes, yes."
That evening.
Yin Shengong set up a table. Sect Master Mei and the three members of the patrol team attended, accompanied by Mu Linyuan, Qian Sanjiang Hou, and Fang Zuo.
Throughout the night, Yin Shengong sighed and lamented.
Sect Master Mei and the others continuously offered comfort.
Mu Linyuan and the other two felt it was strange, but they kept quiet and drank without saying a word.
Sect Masters were known for not showing their emotions, and even if they were truly sorrowful, their expressions would remain unaffected, and they would never complain endlessly like this.
There must be a reason for this. Moreover, it's likely good news. We shouldn't speak and ruin the Sect Master's act.
"A second-level sect... My dream."
Yin Shengong sighed with deep melancholy, raised his cup, and drank it all in one go. With a sense of loss, he said, "It's truly difficult... I truly don't know how the first-level sects like Jinmo Jiao maintain their status. They have the ability."
"Jinmo Jiao..."
Sect Master Mei, with his vast knowledge, began to speak eloquently.
Mu Linyuan and the other two exchanged glances.
Could it be that the Sect Master was already thinking about first-level sects?
Oh...
It seemed like there was great news.
With this thought in mind.
The three of them drank with sullen faces, "Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Alas, so melancholy!"
"Yes, just thinking about it is frustrating."
"There's no choice, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Sect Master, don't take it to heart. There will be opportunities in the future as long as we don't give up. Who can predict what the future holds?"
"Yes, Sect Master, this is fate..."
The three old foxes played along perfectly, complementing Yin Shengong seamlessly.
Finally, Sect Master Mei and the others had their fill of food and drink and returned to rest.
Mu Linyuan and the others approached Yin Shengong with smiles, "Sect Master, what good news do you have?"
Yin Shengong's face was filled with sorrow, "The second-level sect is about to fall, and I'm about to become a laughingstock. What good news could there be, alas!"
Mu Linyuan and the others held back their laughter, "We understand, we understand, Sect Master."
Yin Shengong turned and left with a carefree attitude, "If you understand, go back to work. Alas, I'm so worried..."
The three of them exchanged glances and left with smiles.
"The Sect Master is clearly delighted."
"Yes, it's obvious."
"Then we can relax."
"You're right."
"During this time, the sect's reorganization has been exhausting. Although the patrol team is here, and we can't go out, the various halls within the sect have been thoroughly organized by the Sect Master. Compared to before, although there are fewer people, the combat strength has increased.
"Indeed, this can be considered good news. Once the patrol team leaves, the One Mind Sect will be able to rise even higher. Moreover, the Sect Master has grand ambitions, reorganizing the sect according to the standards of a second-level or even first-level sect."
"All the hall leaders are complaining; the Sect Master is even inspecting their cultivation progress."
"Yes... But why is the Sect Master so happy?"
"Hehe... Can't you guess?"
"Hahaha... It's probably because his disciples are flattering him."
"It's not just about flattery..."
