"By the way, Si Yun, why are you so interested in these things? I thought that after you became the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, you would concentrate on winning over the masters of these branch halls, expanding your own power, and helping yourself to compete for the position of Pope in the future."
"No, actually, I don't care whether I become the Pope of the Spirit Hall or not. My main goal is to change the current Spirit Hall. Although Spirit City is indeed well-managed under the teacher's management, countless corrupt officials have emerged in the Spirit Halls in other cities. They are ruining the reputation of the Spirit Hall. If this continues, the Spirit Hall will lose the trust of the people because of these things."
Until now, Si Yun has not forgotten Bibi Dong's kindness. He sincerely wants to help Bibi Dong unify the entire continent. In order to achieve this goal, he must eliminate all pests that may become obstacles.
After Si Yun finished speaking, he found that Zhang Ping was looking at him with a shocked expression.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing, I just didn't expect you to like the Spirit Hall so much."
"I'm the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, so naturally I like it. I grew up in the Spirit Hall and have long considered it my home. I'm just helping to clean up the trash. I just don't know if Senior Zhang Ping will continue to help me after she finds out."
Si Yun knew clearly that the reason why Zhang Ping helped him investigate these things was probably because he thought that he wanted to get hold of something against Dongfang Yan, and then use it to force Dongfang Yan to stand on his side, so that he could have more strength when competing for the position of Pope in the future. Unfortunately, that was not the case. He was not so greedy for power. All he wanted was to eradicate these parasites.
"Help, why not? Rather, I appreciate you even more now."
"Thank you, Sister Zhang Ping."
"You even said thank you to me. We have known each other for many years."
"Haha, I thought too much. I'll drink three cups as punishment." Si Yun poured three cups of juice and drank them down in gulps without blushing or beating his heart.
Seeing this, Zhang Ping hesitated to speak. "You call this 'three cups of punishment'?" However, it didn't seem to mention the term "three cups of punishment." One could only say that he understood the concept of three cups of punishment, and since Si Yun was always drunk, it was hard for her to say anything.
After eating and drinking, Si Yun returned to the Spirit Hall.
"Master Saint, you are back. Someone is looking for you."
"Looking for me? Who is it?"
"She's waiting for you in the hall now. You'll find out who she is when you get there."
"oh."
Is it Dong Hui and the others looking for me? I just sent Zhu Zhuqing home not long ago. The people who come to look for me now are most likely Dong Hui and the others.
Coming to the living room, Si Yun was a little surprised when he saw the small figure sitting there: "Zhu Qing, why don't you take a rest for a while? You come to see me so soon."
"I rested long enough last night. I don't want to rest anymore. I want to come to you. Do you still keep your word?"
"Of course it counts. Starting today, you will practice with me. I promise that within a few years, your strength will surpass your sister's."
"Yeah! I believe you."
On the other side, Dongfang Yan was sitting in a very secluded room, discussing something with several subordinates.
"Master, the Holy Son is secretly investigating us. He may have discovered what we did in secret. What should we do?"
"Yeah, Boss, that Holy Son doesn't look like someone you can easily mess with."
"Why are you panicking? Do you really think everything will be fine once they find out?"
"Boss, what do you mean?"
"Do you really think the Spirit Hall's higher-ups care about the lives of the common people? After they've climbed to the top, they care more about their own status. Over the years, I'm not the only Spirit Hall branch master doing this kind of business. There are many who are more excessive than me. The reason why the Spirit Hall doesn't care is because it doesn't care."
"Then why does Lord Saint Son still want to investigate?"
"He's investigating solely for his own benefit. He knows that finding these things out will be like having leverage over me, forcing me to side with him. This will give me more leverage when I compete with the Saint for the position of Pope. However, the fact that he was able to uncover so much in just two days proves that this Saint is indeed capable. If I side with him, I have a good chance of winning. When he produces this evidence, it won't be a problem for me to side with him."
"So that's how it is. Boss is very wise. He easily understands things that we can't see."
"You're still young, and these twists and turns will naturally become clear in the future. But for now, you should be a little more restrained and not be too obvious. Just find out some things for him. After all, it's still evidence. It's not impossible for this guy to use this to retaliate against him after he gets promoted."
"yes!"
"Well, everyone, go down. Remember, be more restrained during this period. It's time for me to see our Lord Saint."
......
Half an hour later, Dongfang Yan walked towards Si Yun's door. Just watching from a distance, Dongfang Yan found that Si Yun was practicing with a little girl. The girl looked familiar. Judging from her clothes, she seemed to be from the Netherworld Spirit Cat family, but he couldn't remember which daughter she was.
Si Yun also noticed Dongfang Yan walking towards him, so he said to Zhu Zhuqing: "You practice on your own for a while, I have some things to take care of, I'll be back later."
"Yes, go ahead." Zhu Zhuqing said obediently.
Then Si Yun left.
"What does the Palace Master want to see me about?"
"Sir, please excuse me for a moment."
"good."
As they spoke, the two came to a side room. Dongfang Yan waved his hand and asked the servants to retreat. Seeing this scene, Si Yun was very curious about what this guy wanted to do.
However, Ghost Crow was protecting him secretly. Even if the old guy wanted to cause trouble for him, he would not be able to do anything. After all, the master of this branch Spirit Hall was only a Soul Sage at best. If he had been promoted to Soul Douluo, he would have gone to the main Spirit Hall long ago.
"Actually, this time, I don't have any other business to talk to Lord Saint Son about. It's mainly because I've been amazed by Lord Saint Son's talent these days, so I want to make some investments in Lord Saint Son." As he said that, the other party waved his hand, and three large wooden boxes appeared in front of Si Yun.
Looking at these three wooden boxes, Si Yun instantly understood what this old man wanted to do. He wanted to bribe him, right? It seemed that he had already noticed that he was investigating him.
However, Si Yun did not agree directly, nor did he refuse. Instead, he said calmly, "I think this money is nothing to Lord Dongfang. I want something else."
"Oh, Lord Saint, please tell me. As long as I can satisfy you, I will do my best to satisfy you."
