Chapter 221: Measuring the Secrets of Heaven



Bai Wanli came to the magic armor master's compound with two new letters. He originally thought that after entering the door, he should see Yaotong and a neat team welcoming him.

But after entering the door, Bai Wanli couldn't help but be stunned. The magic costume masters in the yard were indeed in neat military uniforms. Each of them was wearing a magic costume and lined up neatly in the yard. The neatness and straight posture were no less than that of the Chinese square formation.

But Bai Wanli did not see the demon pupil. He only saw a person sitting on a chair at the front of the magic armor formation, drinking hot tea from a cup.

"Chief Li, why are you here?" Bai Wanli realized that something was wrong and looked towards the team of magic armor masters. In addition to Yaotong, there were also several confidants who usually followed Yaotong in the magic armor masters.

However, those close associates of Yaotong all lowered their heads and did not dare to meet his gaze, which surprised Bai Wanli. He wondered what method Li Xiu had used to make these magic costume masters who followed Yaotong become like this.

"Vice President Bai, you're joking. I'm the chief of the technician team, and these are the members of the technician team. Today is the day of the celestial secrets ceremony. If I'm not here to lead the members of the technician team to participate in the ceremony, where else should I be?" Li Xiu smiled, holding a teacup, and had no intention of standing up to greet him.

"Didn't Chief Li say that he wasn't in a convenient position and asked me to help look after the Magic Equipment Group for the time being?" Bai Wanli suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile.

"Vice President Bai is right. I did trouble you to look after the Magic Armor Group in the past. But now there is no Magic Armor Group, so naturally there is no need to trouble you." Li Xiu looked so smug that Bai Wanli wanted to slap him twice. The more he looked at that face, the more disgusted he became.

"What Chief Li said is true. However, the Magic Armor Group has not yet completed the handover. I will still take care of the Magic Armor Group for now. I will wait for Chief Li to come to me to complete the handover and get the Blood Seal Stone of the Magic Armor Group before I can officially take over and merge the Magic Armor Group with the Technician Group. I will take them to the ceremony today." Bai Wanli said with a cold face.

He said this to Li Xiu and also to those magic armor masters. He was telling those magic armor masters that their blood seal stones were in his hands. Li Xiu, the chief, was a useless person in name only and they didn't need to pay any attention to him.

"Sure, as long as they are willing to follow you, Vice President Bai can take them with you." Li Xiu said casually and started drinking tea.

"You all heard it. Chief Li is very busy. Don't waste his time here. Follow me to the ceremony." Vice President Bai said as he turned around and prepared to leave. The magic armor masters' blood seal stones were all in his hands. He was not afraid that these magic armor masters would not submit. Even if Li Xiu used some means to instigate a few magic armor masters to rebel, it would not affect the overall situation. Most of the magic armor masters would definitely follow him.

But after Bai Wanli turned around and took a few steps, he found something wrong. It was eerily quiet behind him. He turned around and saw those magic costume masters standing behind Li Xiu, moving not even one of them followed him.

Not to mention ordinary magic armor masters, even those magic armor masters who usually followed Yaotong and got a lot of benefits from him, just stood there motionless, not even daring to raise their heads.

The Blood Seal Stone could indeed kill them, but Bai Wanli might not really use it. If they resisted Li Xiu, they would die immediately. Everyone knew what to choose.

After all, Vice President Bai is not the general manager, he is only managing the magic outfit group on behalf of the general manager. Li Xiu is the official general manager. In name, Li Xiu is the one who has the power of life and death over the magic outfit masters.

Each general leader holds the power of life and death over the members of his group. If he wants to execute a member, he does not need the consent of other members of the group, not even the consent of the president.

Vice President Bai is, after all, the vice president. Although the vice president has a higher rank, he does not have such authority. The vice president also has the power to deal with members and even the general manager, but it must be reported to the president for approval.

This is why it is better for the county magistrate to be in charge. No matter how powerful Vice President Bai is, he cannot deal with them immediately, but Li Xiu can.

Bai Wanli realized the seriousness of the situation, stared at Li Xiu and asked, "Where is the demon pupil?"

He didn't ask about Yaotong before, because he thought Li Xiu had used some method to get rid of Yaotong, and he never thought that Yaotong would die.

After all, Yaotong is one of the few magic armorers who can compete with the super spiritual trial-takers, so it is almost impossible for Li Xiu to kill him.

Moreover, Yaotong was a member of his Bai family, and he didn't think that Li Xiu would really dare to touch Yaotong.

But now it seems that the situation is worse than he expected. Those magic armor masters would not be so obedient for no reason. Something big must have happened. This made Bai Wanli have a bad feeling.

"Kill him. Why would we keep a member who dared to offend the chief if we don't kill him?" Li Xiu said as he stood up and walked towards Bai Wanli. At the same time, he said loudly, "Technicians, follow me to participate in the ceremony of measuring the heavenly secrets."

At Li Xiu's command, the formation of magic armor masters immediately moved and lined up to follow Li Xiu.

Li Xiu passed by Bai Wanli, whose face was livid, and said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work, Vice President Bai. You won't have to worry about the technician team anymore."

After saying that, Li Xiu led the magic costume masters to jump over Bai Wanli and went straight out of the gate of the magic costume masters' compound.

"Vice President...we..." The trial-taker who followed Bai Wanli wanted to say something, but was stopped by Bai Wanli.

He knew that he couldn't stop Li Xiu, at least he couldn't cause any trouble here today.

The prediction of celestial secrets is held once every sixty years and is the top priority of Changshengtian. He cannot cause any trouble today. Otherwise, even if he can get rid of Li Xiu, it will be a loss if he angers the president.

Moreover, Bai Wanli vaguely felt that the reason why Li Xiu could make those magic armor masters so afraid was not just because he killed Yaotong to establish his authority.

"No need to say anything. Since he doesn't want to waste his time, then there's no need to let him do that. This is the end of his career as chief." Bai Wanli said with a cold face.

Bai Wanli's perception was correct. The reason why those magic armor masters were so afraid of Li Xiu was not only because Yaotong was killed, but also partly because Li Xiu was a magic armor master, a magic armor master who could forcibly take away Yaotong's magic armor.

If a trial participant forcibly kills someone to establish his authority, it may cause some magic armor masters to develop a rebellious mentality. Even if it means risking their life, they would still go against Li Xiu. Every real man has some blood in his veins.

But Li Xiu is different. He is also a magic costume master. A magic costume master who is admired by those magic costume masters becoming their chief makes it easier for them to accept psychologically.

Just like what Li Xiu had just said to them: "The Magic Costume Master's affairs are decided by the Magic Costume Master. If they have the ability, they can challenge him at any time. As long as they can win, they can also replace Li Xiu as the Chief at any time."

Of course, if you don't have the ability and still try to rebel like Yaotong, the general's sword will not be enough for you.

Bai Wanli and the others watched helplessly as Li Xiu led the magic costume masters out of the compound, but they were completely helpless.

Inside the research institute, several old men were chatting and laughing.

"The general manager has been gone for so long, isn't it time for him to come back?"

"Why did he come back? I'm afraid he can't even lead a magic costumer. Is he coming back for us to laugh at?"

"Young people are just too impatient. If you want to snatch the magic suit group back from Bai Wanli, you have to plan carefully before you act. What's the point of forcing it like this?"

"You can't blame him for being anxious. Today is the day for predicting the celestial secrets. He is the chief executive, and he doesn't have any team members around him. If he goes to predict the celestial secrets, he will become the biggest joke of Changshengtian."

"Haha, that's true. Just think about how embarrassing that scene would be. A chief is all alone in the heavenly secret survey, and next to him are six other strong teams. There's no one around him. Bai Wanli brings the magic suit team in. If it were me, I would probably be able to dig a hole in the ground with my toes to crawl under."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense there. You old guys just gossip all the time. Can't you study magic equipment properly?" Professor Xu said.

"What the hell are you researching? Those magic armor masters are useless. They can't even control the advanced magic armor they researched. What's the point of researching?"

As the old men were talking, they suddenly felt the ground shaking a little and a uniform noise came from outside.

"It should be Bai Wanli who brought the magic costume master. Let's go out too. We still have to participate in the prediction of the celestial secrets..." Professor Xu led a group of veteran researchers out of the gate of the institute. When they looked outside, they were all stunned.

I saw all the magic costume masters wearing magic costumes, neatly lined up in a square formation outside the gate. The person standing in the front was Li Xiu.

"All technician team members, get in line." Li Xiu shouted seriously without a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Professor Xu and those veteran researchers were a little confused. Although they were full of doubts, they did not dare to disobey Li Xiu in such an occasion. They all obediently lined up in the team and followed Li Xiu to the Temple of Heaven.

They wanted to ask those magic armor masters, but those magic armor masters were like well-trained soldiers who didn't even look at them. Even Lei Qingfeng and Qiu Tianyu were the same, as if they didn't know them.

This made the group of old men confused. They didn't know what had happened, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Since Li Xiu was able to bring all the magic armor masters here, he must have passed the review of Vice President Bai. Such a person is not someone they can afford to offend.

"This chief is not simple!" Professor Xu looked at Li Xiu, who was walking in front, with a strange expression.

Temple of Heaven.

The teams were entering in an orderly manner, first the teams from the four major families, then the longevity group, the immortality group, the love-forgetting group, the truth-seeking group, the magic spirit group and the divine pet group.

The number of people in each team varied, but today, even the smaller teams were all dressed in uniform and walked into the Temple of Heaven with serious expressions.

Basically everyone had entered, but there was no sign of the magic suit group showing up yet.

Many people were looking towards the gate of the Temple of Heaven. They wanted to know whether the people entering today were the magic suit group or the technician group, or whether both groups were coming to attend the ceremony.

Li Qingyi stood in the Li family's team, looking towards the gate from time to time. Although she knew that Bai Wanli should be the one leading the magic suit group today, she still had some special expectations.

Bai Ying was standing next to Li Qingyi. The Bai family's team was right next to the Li family's team. Bai Ying even mixed directly into the Li family's team and stayed with Li Qingyi the whole time.

Given the relationship between the Bai and Li families, no one thought there was anything wrong.

"No need to look. That Li Xiu will definitely not come to participate in the ceremony of divining the celestial secrets. How can he come alone? " Bai Ying said with a smile.

She was in a pretty good mood today. Two days ago, Li Xiu confronted her and kicked her out. She didn't know what he said to Li Qingyi.

After Li Qingyi came back, she asked Li Qingyi what he had said. Li Qingyi was perfunctory and did not tell her. He only said that they talked about some things about evil spirits, which made Bai Ying even more annoyed.

The Bai family deliberately allowed Bai Ying, who was of similar age to Li Qingyi, to be close to Li Qingyi, hoping that Bai Ying could use the emotional foundation built since childhood to become Li Qingyi's closest and most trusted person.

Bai Ying has been doing this all the time and became Li Qingyi's childhood friend.

Over the years, Bai Ying has been using his influence on Li Qingyi to do a lot for the Bai family.

She had deliberately provoked Li Xiu before. It seemed reckless and ignorant, but in fact it was driven by interests. She just wanted to prevent Li Qingyi from getting so close to Li Xiu, which was not in the interests of the Bai family.

But Bai Ying always thought that she could influence Li Qingyi. Now it seems that her influence on Li Qingyi is not as great as she imagined. At least in the matter of Li Xiu, she was unable to influence Li Qingyi. This made Bai Ying even more hostile to Li Xiu.

In Bai Ying's opinion, today would undoubtedly be a day when Li Xiu would lose face, so she was in a very happy mood.

"They're coming... they're coming... my dad is here with the magic suit team..." Seeing the neat team coming in through the gate of the Temple of Heaven, Bai Ying was in a good mood. He held Li Qingyi's hand and said excitedly.

Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't be so excited, but the situation is different today.

When Bai Ying was looking around excitedly, she found something wrong.

There were indeed two people walking in front of the team of magic-clad masters who were marching into the Temple of Heaven in a square formation, but Bai Wanli was definitely not among them.

Bai Wanli's fat body, which looks like a ball, can be recognized from a distance.

However, the two people walking in front of the team of magic costume masters were obviously not fat, and one of them was a woman wearing a red miniskirt and leather boots.

The smile on Bai Ying's face gradually froze. She had realized that something was wrong. When she looked carefully at who was walking in front of her, her face suddenly turned extremely ugly. She looked more uncomfortable than if she had eaten a fly.

"How could it be him?" Bai Ying couldn't believe why the person who brought the magic suit group to attend the ceremony was Li Xiu and not her father Bai Wanli.

Li Qingyi was a little surprised when she saw Li Xiu and the magic costume masters entering the venue. Then she smiled and thought to herself, "This guy always does something unexpected. I don't know how he convinced Bai Wanli to give up the opportunity to lead the magic costume team to participate in the ceremony of measuring the heaven's secrets."

Not only Li Qingyi, but also the members of the major families and Group 6 showed some surprise and complicated expressions when they saw that it was Li Xiu who led the magic suit group to enter.

"That Li Xiu is indeed not a simple person." Han Minghui narrowed her eyes slightly and kept staring at Li Xiu.

Not long after Li Xiu and Sha Chu led the magic suit group into the venue, someone announced the start of the ceremony of measuring the celestial secrets.

At first, there were some sacrificial ceremonies, which were very complicated. Fortunately, there were special priests to command them, and we only had to follow his instructions, so there were no big problems.

Li Xiu kept looking, but he didn't see the president anywhere. Even until the previous sacrificial ceremony was over, he still didn't see the president of Changshengtian.

"It's strange. In a sacrificial ceremony like this, shouldn't the president be the protagonist? Why isn't he showing up?" Li Xiu was full of doubts.

When Li Zheng was still wondering, he saw Master Ba, wearing a sacrificial robe, come on stage. He first offered sacrifices to the heavens and the earth, then turned to the people below and said, "The gate of heaven is shaking, and an evil spirit is about to appear. The president has already rushed to suppress it personally. Today's ceremony of measuring the heaven's secrets will be presided over by me."

As soon as Mr. Ba said this, the faces of many families and group members in the audience changed.

Tianmen is the biggest disaster for Changshengtian. Every time a demon rushes out of Tianmen, it will have a significant impact on Changshengtian, and even cause many deaths.

The last time Tianmen was shaken, the Great Elder died because of guarding Tianmen. It can be said that once Tianmen is shaken, all the people in Changshengtian will change color.

Li Xiu was also a little worried. Wan Chaochun and Lao Dao were both inside Tianmen. If something happened to Tianmen, they would be in danger as well.

"Don't worry, everyone. The president will personally suppress it. A mere demon spirit is insignificant." Mr. Ba held an octagonal wooden box on the stage and said in a loud voice, "The ceremony of predicting the heaven's secrets has officially begun. This is the fortune-telling word written by the president himself. Today, I will use this word to predict the heaven's secrets and prolong my destiny in Changshengtian..."

After saying this, Master Ba opened the octagonal wooden box, took out a scroll from it, slowly opened the scroll, and showed the side with words to everyone in Changshengtian.

When everyone saw clearly what was written on the paper, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Xiu looked intently and saw a big word "Ling" written on the paper. Next to the word "Ling" was a line of smaller words.

Li Xiu looked carefully and saw that the line of small characters read "This character predicts the marriage fate of my daughter Li Qingyi."

Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Li Qingyi in the Li family team.

Not only Li Xiu, but everyone else looked at Li Qingyi, and they were all very surprised.

No one expected that this time the fortune-telling would be used to predict Li Qingyi's marriage.

Using the fortune-telling method that is performed once every sixty years to predict a woman's marriage fate, and doing so in front of so many people, even though Li Qingyi was as calm as a rock, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

All the clan leaders, elders and chiefs smiled at this moment, as if they were relieved of a heavy burden.

"The marriage fortune is good. Qingyi has indeed reached the age to get married." An elder stroked his beard with a smile.

The others also agreed that predicting marriages was the best thing to do, as long as they didn't get the chance, that would be great.

Holding the scroll written by the president himself, Mr. Ba turned and walked into the Hall of Longevity. As he stepped into the Hall of Longevity, the door of the hall closed. After a while, the jade bead on the top of the Hall of Longevity lit up, and a ray of light shot straight into the sky.
