"What do you mean?" All the elders turned to look at her, their eyes gleaming with hope.
They, the Crimson Feather Pavilion, have been languishing for too long. As he said, they will soon have no place in the martial world. That's why they were so eager to hold an election last time, hoping to select a wise person to lead them to restore the former glory of the Crimson Feather Pavilion.
“From today onwards, the development direction of our Crimson Feather Pavilion must be changed,” Wen Nongnong said. “From now on, the Crimson Feather Pavilion will only accept jobs for those who deserve to be killed. Good people must never be killed. Moreover, the Crimson Feather Pavilion cannot engage in the business of killing alone.”
"this……"
There was an uproar.
"Do we assassins have a choice when it comes to killing? What do you mean by 'good people can never be killed'? Isn't that absurd?"
“If it were an ordinary assassin guild, they wouldn’t be able to choose. The employer would specify who to kill, and they would have to kill that person. But we are the Crimson Feather Guild. We are different from other assassins. When we take a job, it’s not the employer who chooses us, but us who choose the employer,” Wen Nongnong continued.
"Pfft!"
The elders laughed out loud with delight.
"Don't you understand the current state of our Chiyu Tower? In our current situation, we're lucky if any employers even contact us. You want to be selective about your employers? Wouldn't that leave a large portion of us in Chiyu Tower starving?"
The elders shook their heads and sighed, laughing at Wen Nongnong's wild fantasies.
Wen Nongnong didn't seem to care, and instead said clearly, "It will indeed be difficult at the beginning, but everyone makes their own way. As long as we don't give up and keep trying, I think we will definitely succeed. Moreover, as I said before, we need to change the future direction of our Chiyu Tower. We can't just focus on the murder business. Murder is just a side business, so whether or not we have clients isn't that important."
"This means... we have to change careers?" Finally, an elder realized what was happening and exclaimed in disbelief.
The others looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this.
They were used to wielding swords and blades, spending their lives licking blood from the edge of a knife. What else could they do besides kill?
For a moment, everyone was somewhat bewildered.
"What else can we do besides killing people?" someone asked.
Wen Nongnong took in their expressions, softened her tone, and said, "You're all used to living a life of constant danger, thinking you can only handle swords and can't do anything else. That's underestimating yourselves. Besides killing, we can also protect people's goods, collect intelligence, and sell it to those who need it. We have plenty of manpower."
She learned from Wen Tingyun that Chiyu Tower had many members, but due to the competition among various forces, the members had become a disorganized mess, with no one willing to submit to anyone else.
Although these elders can sit together now, they have been secretly competing with each other for many years. It is only now that the Crimson Feather Tower is weak that they have realized that they should not continue to fight, so they can maintain a facade of harmony.
The elders present were all quite old, veterans of the Crimson Feather Tower, and each of them held considerable power and commanded a large number of men.
She and Wen Tingyun wanted to bring Chiyu Tower under their control, so naturally they had to persuade them first.
What she wanted was not just an ordinary assassin's den, but a force capable of infiltrating every corner of the world.
“What he said is exactly what I wanted to say. Today, our Crimson Feather Pavilion is not what it used to be. If we don’t make changes, it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in the martial world.” Wen Tingyun spoke up at the right time to support Wen Nongnong.
