On the business car back to the Martial Arts Association, Liu Xuanfeng, as the president, looked unhappy after being scolded, and naturally no one else dared to say anything.
The atmosphere in the car was very heavy.
After a while, Liu Xuanfeng finally set his eyes on Lu Changkong and slowly exhaled: "Changkong, you know what His Royal Highness means. It's not that I don't want to give you a chance, it's really you who are too disappointing."
"I see."
Lu Changkong responded somewhat dejectedly.
"You are getting old now, and you can't devote so much time and energy to managing the specific affairs of the states under your jurisdiction. I understand that. You should take a good rest for a while."
"I will tender my resignation."
After Lu Changkong said this, he seemed to have aged a lot.
As a martial saint who embodies the will of martial arts, if he wants to enter officialdom, he can directly serve as a regular executive.
but…
After all, there is a difference between executive and vice president.
However, it is quite difficult for middle-aged or elderly Martial Saints, who are usually around fifty years old, to reach this level.
Originally, if he continued to stay in this position, he might even have the hope of succeeding Liu Xuanfeng and becoming the president of the Martial Arts Association in the future.
But now...
The giant of the garrison, Prince Su Mai, who was in charge of the martial arts world, had spoken personally. He could no longer stay in this position no matter what.
"That's best."
Liu Xuanfeng nodded.
He glanced at Lu Changkong.
This martial saint also suffered from his failure to judge people.
If he hadn't pushed Lin Yuzhi to the top, and if Lin Yuzhi hadn't caused such serious problems in Jiangzhou, he wouldn't have been implicated to the point where he couldn't even sit on the position of president.
But now that Lin Yuzhi is dead, what's the point in pulling him out and whipping his corpse
At best, they would create trouble for Lin Yuchi, the younger generation that Lin Yuzhi had vigorously cultivated, and make him go back to where he came from.
"Someone must take over Changkong's work."
Liu Xuanfeng said, looking at Zhuo Chengyu: "The most important thing right now is to return to Jiangzhou as soon as possible to invite Grandmaster Li to the capital, and then join our Taibai team and rush to the Tianyuan Dynasty to participate in the world's number one martial arts conference. Therefore, General Manager Zhuo will take over the responsibility of President Lu and get this done as soon as possible. Is there any problem?"
Zhuo Chengyu had some psychological expectations.
But now, when he heard Liu Xuanfeng personally promise to let him take over Lu Changkong's job and become the vice president of the association, he still couldn't help showing a look of surprise.
Restraining his excitement, he said carefully at the first moment: "President, rest assured, I will go to Jiangzhou in person, and together with the current president Lian Hongchen, I will try every means to invite Grandmaster Li to the capital."
Liu Xuanfeng nodded slightly.
After a moment, he said, "I'll go with you."
“President!?”
Lu Changkong, Zhuo Chengyu, Ding Aojun and others were all shocked at the same time.
Don't think that Liu Xuanfeng, as the president, has no weight just because he was scolded by Prince Su Mai. In fact, Liu Xuanfeng's rank has surpassed the ten-level official system and entered the ranks of Taibai government officials, that is, national leaders.
If a big shot like him leaves the capital and goes to any state, it will have a huge impact on the local area.
In theory, he should notify the subordinate units in advance and have them clean the streets, control traffic, and control personnel in order to prepare for his arrival. But now, for the sake of Li Pin, he actually has to go there in person...
"Go privately, without causing a big commotion."
Liu Xuanfeng said: "The intelligence capability and authority of the Tianyuan Society are among the best in the entire Tianyuan Federation. They are so optimistic about Li Yin and give him such an amazing evaluation. In addition, he is only 23 years old this year... With such potential, if he continues to grow, in the future, let alone the national competition, several world's number one martial arts competitions will become his personal stage. What kind of amazing fame and reputation will this bring to our Taibai? The hidden convenience that comes with it is beyond words."
His expression was full of importance: "Therefore, he is worth our trip."
His words also made Lu Changkong, Zhuo Chengyu and others fall into deep thought.
Among them, Lu Changkong smiled bitterly in his heart.
Although he realized that Li Pin had a promising future, he specially asked Lu Fengyun to take over the position of vice president of the Jiangzhou Martial Arts Association vacated by Chi Xingyu, and to replace Lin Yuzhi in maintaining the participation of Jiangzhou players in the royal capital. This was so that after returning to Jiangzhou, he could smoothly take over the Martial Arts Association, get close to Li Pin, and establish a good relationship with him.
I just didn’t expect…
He thought that Li Bin would become famous in three years, but Lian Hongchen resorted to a drastic measure and, before the Jiangzhou competition was even over, he found a special channel for him and applied for the world's number one martial arts competition.
It would have been fine if he had just applied for the world's best martial arts competition, the key point was that he had successfully passed the application and was evaluated so highly by the Tianyuan Society.
Amazing power!
The power of twenty-three years old!
This is simply…
It's like cheating.
If this kind of genius had not died prematurely, his future achievements would definitely far exceed those of him, the Martial Saint.
If the champions of the next few World No. 1 Martial Arts Tournaments can still be awarded the title of Dragon Son by Longmen Pavilion and obtain the qualification to try out legendary star weapons, the probability of them becoming star cultivators in the future will be far greater than that of other Martial Saints.
Once he successfully transforms into a star cultivator...
Even though they are at the same level, his influence is definitely superior to that of Liu Xuanfeng, the president of their Martial Arts Association.
Liu Xuanfeng is now going there personally...
This is a correct consideration for the future.
Lin Yuzhi chose to suppress such a peerless genius...
His death was not unjust.
Even if he had not fought with Li Bin and had not died at Li Bin's hands, when the invitation letter for the world's number one martial arts competition came, the anger from his superiors would still be enough to doom him.
At this time, Liu Xuanfeng seemed to have thought of something, and said to the driver: "Xiao Luo, go to my house and bring me the three star tools made of thousand-year-old purple bamboo, merit stone, and refined gold."
"These three star weapons!?"
Liu Xuanfeng's driver is the son of his deceased senior brother. He is deeply trusted by him and is treated as a half-son by him. Therefore, he knows very well what these three star weapons mean.
"These three star weapons are high-level star weapons..."
"I know. Go ahead."
Liu Xuanfeng said.
Zhuo Chengyu was slightly stunned when he heard this.
A greeting gift.
Even Chairman Liu was planning to send a meeting gift in advance. He was able to sit on the vice chairman's throne thanks to Li Pin's contribution, so how could he not show some appreciation!
What’s more…
Even if Li Yin did not put any effort into his ascension to the throne, the investment in his future potential alone was worth his huge investment.
"I remember Lian Hongchen said that Li Pin planned to practice a sword technique to deal with ferocious beasts and monsters... He chose the famous Wuji sword technique, which is known for its speed and sharpness, and has a myriad of changes. But his sword is made of Bahuang Stone..."
The sword forged from the Eight Desolate Stone is a heavy sword.
Although heavy swords are more suitable for dealing with fierce beasts with thick skin and flesh, light swords that focus on swordplay and skills are not suitable for fighting fierce beasts, but...
Being lighter can also save some energy and extend the burst time.
The star weapon he newly cast last year, which was made of Lingfeng Crystal, weighs only 20 jin, or 10 kilograms. In addition, Lingfeng Crystal itself has the characteristic of being light. Not only does it have a 20-jin weight that creates gravity, but the physical burden it puts on the hand is not as great as those swords weighing several jin.
At once, he made a decision in his mind.
…
Liu Xuanfeng and Zhuo Chengyu are very efficient.
They set off for Jiangzhou the next day.
Except for a very few senior members of the Martial Arts Association, such as Lian Hongchen, they did not notify anyone in the local area.
…
When Liu Xuanfeng, Zhuo Chengyu and other important figures from the royal capital came with valuable gifts, Li Bin was in the Xinghui Palace.
"Master Li, are you really going to resign from your position as a teacher at Xinghui Hall?"
The person standing in front of him was not Zhou Xiuyuan, but Su Yongsheng, the deputy hall master in charge of personnel in Xinghui Hall.
Since the Palace Master is concurrently held by the Garrison Lord Xiang Tianxing, this Deputy Palace Master who is from a branch of the royal family is equivalent to the highest person in charge of the Xinghui Palace.
"We held a meeting in the palace three days ago and planned to formally hire you as a formal instructor of Xinghui Palace, and directly give you the treatment of a senior instructor of Master Li. If Master Li has other additional requirements, you can also ask for them. We will try our best to meet them if we can."
Su Yongsheng said.
Senior instructors not only have three opportunities to use star instruments every month, but their salaries, treatment, and benefits are also comparable to those of third-level or even second-level officials.
Zhou Xiuyuan, who was standing by, also advised: "Master Li, your practical class is currently one of the most popular courses in Xinghui Hall. Every time the reservation channel is opened, it will be fully booked within a minute. Everyone is full of trust and expectations for your teaching."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I think you have heard that I have signed up for the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament. In the next one or two months, I will have to shift my focus to the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament, and I no longer have time to teach."
Li Pin said.
"Hahaha, this is easy. We know that Grandmaster Li is going to fight for the honor of Jiangzhou and even the entire Taibai. In this month... these two months, Grandmaster Li can just go and prepare. We in Xinghui Palace will never disturb Grandmaster Li for teaching matters."
Su Yongsheng said with a smile.
“The way I teach is actually not complicated.”
Li Pin told the truth.
"But looking at the Xinghui Palace as a whole, only Grandmaster Li can do it."
Su Yongsheng said sincerely: "We sincerely hope that Master Li can continue to serve in Xinghui Hall."
Seeing this, Li Yin thought about it for a while but did not give an accurate answer.
"Wait until the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference is over. I will inform Palace Master Su whether I will leave or stay."
These Star Refiners students of Xinghui Hall...
It's really good.
With almost no opponents left in Jiangzhou, he could only seek out these students for actual combat.
Of course, this was before he had gathered up the will to practice martial arts and become a martial saint.
If he can reach the realm of Martial Saint after the end of the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament, these students will not be able to defeat him.
Therefore, whether he will stay in Xinghui Palace or not depends on his improvement after the martial arts competition in a month or two.
