"I heard you've given yourself the title of Grand Steward?"
The Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas looked at Bai Cang with a half-smile, his eyes full of mockery.
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang quickly concealed the "Extinction God Blade" he was holding in his sleeve.
Hey, I thought you were going to steal my eggs.
He was ashamed that he had been exposed by the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea for using a tiger's skin as a banner.
Bai Cang didn't take it to heart at all; he didn't care at all.
He had just thought his true identity had been exposed and he was about to be caught in a trap.
If that's the case, then he can only first kill this clone of the Great Sage Overturning the Sea with one strike, and then wipe out his entire family and seize all his possessions.
Finally, we must force our way out of the encirclement; we cannot linger in Sihaijing any longer.
Although this didn't actually mean any loss to Bai Cang.
He hadn't originally intended to obtain anything from the Four Seas Mirror.
He simply wanted to test his skills against "Xuan Du Ye Qing," this old Bi Deng, and see if he could pull off a trick on him.
If it succeeds, great; if it doesn't, it doesn't matter.
However, if the plan is exposed as soon as it begins and the person is slinked out of Sihaijing, it will be somewhat embarrassing.
Since the Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas had not discovered his true identity.
To hold someone accountable simply because the "Giant Whale Dragon King" acted on his own initiative.
Bai Cang naturally didn't care, nor did he feel nervous.
Moreover, judging from the Great Sage Overturning the Sea's demeanor and expression, it doesn't seem like he intends to pursue any accountability.
So Bai Cang generously cupped his hands in greeting to the four directions and said, "I am grateful to all my brothers for your kindness in recommending me as the chief steward, mainly so that I can do a good job for the Great Sage."
It was just a joke, but it unexpectedly alarmed the Great Sage.
Upon hearing these words, Qingfeng, Mingyue, and the other children were stunned.
How can there be such shameless people in this world?
They already had some doubts about Bai Cang's background as the "Grand Steward".
However, Bai Cang's proposed plan was too tempting, so they reluctantly accepted Bai Cang as their "chief steward."
According to their original plan, they actually intended to use Bai Cang as a disposable "tool," using him and then removing him to take the blame.
That's why they took advantage of the return of the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea's consciousness and immediately joined forces to file a serious complaint against Bai Cang.
When the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea questioned them, they were secretly pleased, ready to gloat over Bai Cang's misfortune.
Who would have thought that Bai Cang would be so shameless, framing them and calling a deer a horse right in front of them.
Instead, they were the ones who were blamed.
Okay, okay, so this is how you play it, is it?
In front of us, he said that the Great Sage had appointed you as the Grand Steward.
In front of the Great Sage, they said that it was we who recommended you to the position.
The most crucial question is: if you're going to be two-faced, can you at least do it behind people's backs?
To do this in front of all of us, isn't that a bit too insulting to our intelligence?
However, what surprised them even more was that when the Great Sage Overturning the Sea heard this, he was not angry at all, but instead showed a look of appreciation.
"Very well, it seems that I, the Great Sage, really misjudged people in the past."
The Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas laughed and said, "Looking at your burly appearance before, I thought you were good material to be a fierce general, but I didn't expect you to be such a commander."
"If I, the Great Sage, hadn't witnessed your birth and your growth, I would have truly thought you were a completely different person."
First of all, my name isn't Hey, it's Chu... Sorry, wrong set.
Bai Cang rolled his eyes inwardly and silently complained about two things the Great Sage Overturned the Sea did.
First of all, you are just being appearance-discriminatory, judging people purely by their appearance.
Secondly, while I, Daoist Master, have indeed remained unchanged, the "Giant Whale Dragon King" has indeed been replaced by a different person.
If you didn't see it, you're blind. Don't try to make yourself look good.
Bai Cang inwardly grumbled, but outwardly remained calm, revealing a "shy" smile. "Actually, Little Whale is a person of inner beauty. Great Sage Master didn't misjudge him."
You're completely blind; you don't even have eyes, so how could you misjudge someone?
"Fine, since you're so eager to be the Grand Steward, then this Great Sage will appoint you as the Grand Steward of the Overturning Sea Palace, in charge of all internal and external affairs."
The Great Sage of Overturning the Sea had no intention of arguing with Bai Cang. He just made a joke and then got straight to the point, "When I'm not here, you must take care of all the affairs of the Overturning Sea Palace, big and small, and make sure there are no mistakes."
Once this matter is over, if you can help me defeat the soldiers and generals under the other Great Sages and win this thousand-year-long duel.
Why should this Great Sage begrudge you the future of becoming the ruler of the Four Seas Mirror Kingdom?
For the Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas, he didn't care at all what kind of people his subordinates were, or whether they were audacious or not.
In any case, the entire Four Seas Mirror is just their Seven Great Sages' "battleground".
All the creatures in the Four Seas Mirror are merely pawns and chips in their gamble.
If one can win this bet and become the sole "Mirror Master," one can truly attain the "Great Sage Status."
Why would the Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas care about a mere position as the ruler of the Four Seas Mirror Kingdom?
"Great Sage, your eyes are discerning! Your subordinate will do your utmost to assist you in achieving your great cause and unifying the Seven Saints Palace of the Four Seas Mirror!"
Without hesitation, Bai Cang patted his chest and confidently declared, "Please rest assured, Great Sage, I will certainly not disappoint you in the slightest!"
Will we win? We're guaranteed to win, and it'll be a win-win situation!
The children, including Qingfeng and Mingyue, were stunned by this conversation.
So it's true that the timid starve while the bold thrive?
If we had known, we would have given ourselves a title like "Grand Commander" or "Grand Grandson".
Amidst everyone's extreme frustration, the Great Sage of the Overturning Seas reached out and summoned approximately seven or eight hundred jade-colored scales that floated up from the bodies of Qingfeng, Mingyue, and other children, as well as from various parts of the Overturning Seas Palace.
Then, it merged with "Overturning the Sea Great Sage" in mid-air, transforming into a golden dragon scale that landed in Bai Cang's hand.
"This Great Sage has sealed off the area inside and outside the temple. From this day forward, not even a speck of dust is allowed to leave the Overturning Sea Palace. If there is any disturbance, immediately activate this item, and this Great Sage, Sumeru, will descend!"
The words of the Great Sage Who Overturned the Seas still resonated in the air, their echoes lingering long afterward.
Bai Cang quickly suppressed the golden dragon scale within the "Pot Heaven".
Then, he looked at Qingfeng, Mingyue, and the other children with ill intent, a playful smile appearing on his lips.
Letting this traitor guard the gate is no different from putting a giant rat into a rice jar.
Upon seeing this, Qingfeng, Mingyue, and the other children felt a sudden unease and cried out that something was wrong.
But they didn't think much of it, assuming that Bai Cang wanted to retaliate for their secret accusations.
"Go! Summon all the servants here. I, the Grand Steward, have some great news to tell you all!"
