Chapter 5000 A Slap In The Face
"According to our investigation, the heavenly elixir Pavilion's elixirs weren't smuggled. They came from normal business channels outside the East continent. From today onwards, the reputation of the heavenly elixir Pavilion will be restored. Vice Island Master Wu Miao apologizes for his previous misjudgment."
Looking at the few words on the island owner's document! Wu Ju was so choked up that he couldn't say a word for a long time! The scene at the heavenly elixir Pavilion yesterday had already made him feel extremely humiliated. But now, this Island owner's document had once again given him! Tight slap in the face! The AO Tian state had even specifically asked him to read it out in the heavenly elixir Pavilion. Even if it was! Slap in the face! It couldn't be so merciless, right?
"Isn't it just an acting Island Lord? how impressive!" Wu Miao cursed after dismissing his trusted aides. Of course, he only dared to curse in private. He didn't even dare to complain in front of his trusted aides, let alone in front of the AO Tian state himself.
Not only did he not dare to scold him in person, Wu Miao didn't even have the courage to reason with ao Tian Zhou. A higher rank could crush a person to death, not to mention that this Shangguan was a big Shot with an extremely powerful background. Even if he gritted his teeth in anger, what could he do?
Although he didn't dare to argue with ao Tian Zhou, Wu Miao couldn't just resign himself to his fate. Going to the heavenly pill Pavilion to read the documents was worse than death. He definitely wouldn't do it. After thinking about it, he only had one choice, and that was to go to the famous medicine sect to find Zheng Dongsheng.
"Vice Island Master Wu, how's the matter?" Zheng Dongsheng asked.
In addition to him, Zheng dongjue, Nantian Aurora, and Tong yangchi were also present. These people were all jackals of the same tribe. Now that they had come together because of interests, it was natural to strike while the iron was hot to build a good relationship. They had to take this opportunity to figure out each other's background. Otherwise, how could they cooperate with each other in the future?
Wu Miao couldn't help but blush-he'd said that it was a small matter, and now it'd turned out like this. Not only did he get slapped in the face by Lin Yi, he was even more embarrassed under the AO Tian state's pressure! He didn't have the face to come see Zheng Dongsheng and the others.
But there was no other way. He couldn't not come. If he told the truth, at least everyone could think of a way. If he just quit, not only would he lose face, but he would also complain in front of Zheng Dongsheng and the others. Then the loss would be immeasurable. He still hoped that Zheng Dongsheng would help him refine pills.
"This ..." Wu Miao hesitated for a moment, embarrassed. In the end, he could only brace himself and say,""The heavenly elixir Pavilion is unfathomable."
"Unfathomable?" Zheng Dongsheng and the others were all stunned. They had people watching the heavenly elixir Pavilion, and they knew what happened yesterday. Rather than calling the heavenly elixir Pavilion unfathomable, it would be more appropriate to call Lin Yi unfathomable. An early stage xuansheng who couldn't even beat Wu Miao was shocking!
"Could it be that even with vice Island Master Wu's connections, you can't find a master who can go against Lin Yi?" Zheng dongjue could not help but feel a little strange. He looked at Wu Ju profoundly and said,""But from what I know, even if the island owner's Pavilion doesn't alert the Nakajima elders, they can't possibly be unable to deal with a Lin Yi, right?"
Zheng Dongsheng and the others also looked at him with suspicion and judgment. Lin Yi was unstoppable now, but it was impossible for the pavilion to be helpless. Even if the central island's official strength wasn't as outstanding as the other Sky Class islands, they weren't that weak.
"Of course the pavilion can deal with Lin Yi, but the problem is that the acting Island master is acting up for some reason. He was going to stand up for me, but after a few words at the heavenly pill Pavilion, he made me return the pill and said he'd investigate it himself, and then gave me this today." Wu Ju bitterly handed the island owner's document to Zheng Dongsheng and the others.
They looked at each other and suddenly looked at each other. Zheng Dongsheng couldn't help but frown and said,""Didn't you say that the acting Island master is from a super family? he shouldn't have any connections with the small heavenly elixir Pavilion. Why are you so biased?"
"I don't know the details, but I think he went to see one of Lin Yi's brothers. He didn't say anything when he came back, and this letter was already here." Wu Miao said with a bitter smile.
"Go see Lin Yi's brother? Wouldn't that be clearly biased?" The brows of Zheng Dongsheng and the others suddenly furrowed deeper.
"That's it, so I really have no other way. I can only come to you to discuss and see if you can come up with a proper way. I can only delay this Island master's document for half a day at most. If I can't think of a solution, I, the standing vice Island master, can only bite the bullet and carry out the order, which will be irreversible." Wu Ju sighed.
In order to maintain the dignity of the island owner's Pavilion, it was taboo to change one's orders overnight. Once this Island owner's letter was announced, it had already been changed once and became a conclusion. Even if this matter was concluded, it could no longer be changed.
Zheng Dongsheng and the others all fell into silence after hearing this. Each of them stared at each other. Although they were all sophisticated people, they couldn't think of a way to solve it at the moment. In the end, they really didn't have any irrefutable evidence in their hands that could prove that the heavenly pill Pavilion was smuggling medicinal pills. The saying that there was no divine sense imprint could only be used as a deduction, but once it was investigated, it would be groundless.
After a long silence, Zheng Dongsheng finally opened his mouth,""The heavenly elixir Pavilion is a big threat to the famous medicine sect. It's not a big deal to take a step back, but if they take advantage of this opportunity to rise up, the consequences will be unimaginable. This time, we must crush them to death!"
"But this is Island master ao Tian's order. Even I can't disobey him ..." Wu Miao shook his head helplessly.
"Since the root of the problem lies with this Island master ao Tian, I can only go to the island master's Pavilion in person and talk to him face to face." Zheng Dongsheng said in a deep voice.
Although the other party's strength and background were far beyond his reach, he was still a seventh-realm Alchemist from the East continent. No matter where he went, he would have some status. Even if he entered the Nakajima takeaway, he should be able to become a distinguished guest.
"It seems like that's the only way. Master Zheng, you're a guest, so you can still argue with reason in front of Island master ao Tian!" Wu Miao nodded again and again. In contrast, he, the managing vice Island master, couldn't say much. Otherwise, he might be accused of offending his superiors, and he really wouldn't be able to cry.
