Tuantuan asked incredulously, "You want me to be the president of the Metaphysics Conference?"
Did these people say something wrong?
Juechen raised his chin, both happy and proud: "See? My master is just that awesome!"
Wang Chen: "Senior brother, has the master agreed to accept you as his disciple?"
Gu Hongwen: "How come I haven't heard about this?"
Old Li: "Juechen, you're shameless! The chairman hasn't even agreed, and you're already trying to make yourself look good? You're really shameless!"
Old Zhang: "Juechen, you're getting old, not thick-skinned. Can't you have any shame?"
Juechen's anger flared: "What do you know! My master was just too embarrassed to say it in front of others. Let me tell you, I am my master's disciple, and you have no idea."
"Oh, do you not understand? Or do you not understand? The president is not your master at all, stop spreading rumors."
"It takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes the president a lot of running around to refute them."
Juechen, feeling embarrassed and angry after being rebuked, said to the crowd, "If you don't believe me, wait until my master is done with her work, and I'll have her tell you!"
Juechen also fell silent, choosing to remain quiet.
...
Tuantuan declined the offer to be the president, saying, "I'm still young. I just want to eat, drink, play, and study every day. I still have to go to school, so I don't have that much time to manage these things."
Old Zhang: "I heard you still work at the Paranormal Bureau. If you can go to the Paranormal Bureau, why can't you come here? Why don't you quit your job at the Paranormal Bureau and become our president?"
"Yeah, being the president is so prestigious, you should become the president."
Gao Jianyun: ? ?
He came to sit in on the meeting today, wanting to see who would become the next president, but it turns out someone tried to undermine their Paranormal Bureau!
Gao Jianyun said with dissatisfaction, "You guys are really unfair!"
Old Zhang said, "Being the chairman is so prestigious! Director Gao, how can you bear to let your child work for you!"
Gao Jianyun: ...
Gao Jianyun: "I'll give the director's seat to Tuan Tuan!"
Everyone: !!
Has Gao Jianyun gone mad?
If his seat is given to Tuan Tuan, what will happen to the metaphysics conference?
As everyone argued back and forth, Tuan Tuan stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your recognition, but I will not stay in the Paranormal Bureau, nor will I serve as the chairman. How about we give the chairmanship to Grandpa Gu? He's more suitable."
Gu Hongwen was taken aback; he hadn't expected the Youth League to recommend him as president.
Gu Hongwen quickly said, "I think I'd better not. I'm getting old and I'm about to retire."
Tuantuan: "Grandpa Gu, don't be modest. Your abilities are obvious to all, you are very suitable."
Regardless of age or ability, Gu Hongwen is the rightful heir to the position of president.
Everyone also felt that Gu Hongwen was a good fit. He had a good relationship with Tuantuan, so Tuantuan wouldn't stand idly by if something happened at the metaphysics conference in the future, right?
With this in mind, everyone expressed their support for Gu Hongwen.
Gu Hongwen couldn't refuse, so he accepted the position and became the president of the Metaphysics Conference.
Gu Hongwen stated that he would definitely reshuffle all the metaphysical masters, and those with ulterior motives would all be kicked out of the metaphysical conference.
With everything settled, Tuantuan obediently went home.
...
Nighttime, in the Paranormal Bureau's cell.
Luo Dong was heartbroken and lost his former arrogance and unruliness.
He sat on the cold ground, still waiting for the man in black to come and rescue him.
After waiting and waiting all day, I finally saw the black robe I had been longing for.
The man in black robes stood in the dim light. Luo Dong, as if seeing a savior, excitedly stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm: "Lord Black Robe, save me!"
The man in black glanced at Luo Dong, flung his hand away, and asked in a cold, sharp voice, "Did you tell the Paranormal Bureau about my identity?"
Luo Dong shook his head: "No! Lord Black Robe, how could I dare to betray you? I'm still waiting for you to rescue me!"
The man in the black robe visibly breathed a sigh of relief. The large black robe also had a hood, which perfectly covered his face, hiding it in the darkness.
Luo Dong also noticed that the man in black robes seemed a bit off; he appeared much more relaxed.
He frowned and questioned, "Black Robe, what does your reaction mean? Are you trying to kill me to silence me?"
The man in black robes grabbed Luo Dong by the throat, making it hard for him to breathe and almost suffocating him.
He glared at the man in black robes, regretting his own blindness in believing what he had said so easily.
The man in the black robe gave a cold laugh: "Go to hell. Only the dead can keep secrets."
The black-robed man tightened his grip, and as Luo Dong died with his eyes wide open in disbelief, Tuan Tuan appeared.
Tuan Tuan: "Long time no see, Xiao Hei!"
Black Robe: ! !
What are you doing here, my little darling?!
The man in black glared at Luo Dong: "You conspired with them to scheme against me!"
Luo Dong rubbed his throat, took a deep breath, and his face contorted with anger.
Luo Dong remained silent, which was taken as an admission that it was true.
Standing at the doorway, Tuantuan looked at the black-robed man's furious aura and said with a smile, "Oh dear, how could it be that we're conspiring against you? I'm not in cahoots with Luo Dong!"
Gu Jinghuai: "Does he deserve to be a partner in Tuanbao?"
Luo Dong, who was choked speechless: ...
Is he really that unworthy?
The man in black robes tried to escape, but Tuan Tuan grabbed his arm: "Where do you think you're going!"
The black-robed man reached out his other hand towards Tuan Tuan, but Gu Jinghuai slashed with his peach wood sword, severing one of his arms.
Luo Dong: !!
What kind of peach wood sword is this?!
Luo Dong had never seen such a powerful peach wood sword before; it was even better than a dagger that could cut through iron like mud.
