Lu Yunxi was a little confused.
Good news? What good news?
Thinking of this, she asked.
The disciple who came to report the news smiled mysteriously: "Elder Lu, you will know once you go to the main hall. Everyone is waiting for you!"
Seeing her disciple's mysterious look, she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
Whenever people around you have expressions like this, it's always bad news.
Lu Yunxi straightened his collar and followed the disciples to the main hall.
In the square in front of the main hall, all the disciples and elders had arrived, leaving only her.
When she entered, everyone's eyes were directed at her.
She found a corner in silence and was about to sit down when she was suddenly called.
"Xiao Lu, what are you doing sitting there? Come up quickly!" The Palace Master stood on the stage and waved at her vigorously.
Her bad premonition became even stronger.
He stood up somewhat stiffly and slowly walked to the side of the Palace Master.
Unfortunately, no matter how slow she walked, it was useless because what was meant to come would eventually come.
The Palace Master smiled and nodded at her with an encouraging look on his face. Then, he turned to the people in Misty Rain Palace and said, "Everyone, based on the voting results over the past seven days, the next Palace Master of Misty Rain Palace will be none other than our Elder Lu Yunxi!"
The disciples in the audience cheered in unison.
The Palace Master made way, leaving only Lu Yun standing in the middle, accepting everyone's gaze with a bewildered look on his face.
She was stunned for a long time, and then she said in shock: "No... Palace Master, what's going on?" How did she suddenly become the next Palace Master?
The Palace Master smiled and said, "In this election for the new Palace Master, you received more votes than everyone else combined. Naturally, you will be the next Palace Master."
"But I..." Lu Yunxi's eyes widened, and she thought to herself, "I'm not participating in the Palace Master selection! I'm not interested in being a Palace Master."
Don't ask why you're not interested.
Because the Palace Master's job was part of the 007 system, she had rarely seen the Palace Master rest. When he finally got a chance to catch his breath, he would be busy studying martial arts again.
In a word, this job is hard and tiring and there is no pay!
She earns so much money as an elder, and has so little to do, so why would she want to be some damn Palace Master?!
"According to the rules of our Misty Rain Palace, anyone who has more than half of the supporters in the sect is not allowed to refuse and must take the position." The Palace Master smiled and his tone left no room for doubt.
After saying this, before she could react, the Palace Master raised his arms and shouted, "Alright! Let us congratulate Palace Master Lu! In the future, Palace Master Lu will definitely carry forward our Misty Rain Palace!"
The people in the audience responded one after another, their eyes full of enthusiasm.
"Palace Master Lu will unify the world! Palace Master Lu will live forever!"
Lu Yunxi: ...
*
The first day as Palace Master.
Lu Yunxi was busy handling the handover of Yanyu Palace affairs.
The second day after becoming the Palace Master.
All the elders and disciples were in seclusion, and the entire sect suddenly became empty, like a deserted city.
The third day as Palace Master.
Lu Yunxi started working frantically, as if he had suddenly become a career-oriented person.
…
It took Lu Yunxi a whole month to thoroughly understand all the affairs of the sect and sort out all the account books and materials.
After doing all this, she became a salted fish again.
Don't ask why.
Now she really felt that cultivation was so exciting! All the disciples of the sect were cultivating, so where was the point of any other business?!
Of course she doesn't have to work anymore!
If possible, she really hopes that everyone can practice for a few hundred years before coming out, so that the next Palace Master can take office!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help humming a little tune, and happily packed her luggage, ready to go out for a trip.
However, she had just left the palace master's courtyard when she ran into two menial disciples.
"Palace Master! Something terrible has happened! We are going bankrupt!"
"Bankruptcy? What bankruptcy?" Lu Yunxi was stunned.
Are you kidding! She's the one who's doing the accounting! Isn't it all good? Her income and expenses are reasonable, and she's even saving a little.
The servant disciple was stunned and scratched his head: "We don't know either. The shop managers downstairs came over and said this!"
Lu Yunxi touched his chin.
The account book in her hand was from last month. This month's accounts should have been settled at the end of the month, but the manager had come early... Could it be that her luck was really that bad? They were all in the red this month?!
No, no, no! She would rather believe that these old people wanted to intimidate her!
Lu Yunxi shook his head: "Let them go to the hall to discuss the matter."
Misty Rain Palace, hall.
The aroma of tea filled the air on the table, and the light smoke blocked each other's faces.
Lu Yunxi sat at the top, leaned back in the chair, and sighed in comfort.
"Tell me, I heard we're going bankrupt. What's going on?"
Several managers looked at each other for a while, with a hint of bitterness in their eyes.
The old steward in the lead bowed and said, "Palace Master, we haven't even celebrated your inauguration yet. You're so young and yet you've become the master of a palace. You're truly a young and promising person..."
"Stop flattering me and get down to business!" Lu Yunxi twitched her eyes and interrupted him directly.
The old steward paused, his expression unchanged, and continued, "Actually, we don't know what happened. There aren't any shops around here that would challenge me, but business has suddenly gone down!"
Lu Yunxi frowned.
What the hell? Is this metaphysics?!
"What business of yours has gone bad? In which area?"
Several managers replied in unison:
"I'm in charge of buying and selling rice, flour, grain, and oil. Business has been very poor recently. Previously, the largest buyers were the wealthy families. Smaller families generally didn't buy grain. Now that they've suddenly stopped buying, business has plummeted."
