Chapter 649 Don’t Seize Wang Lu’s Leadership Improperly (1/2)

”Hahaha, you are so adorable!”

In a courtyard in Immortal Five Area, which was specially designated as the office for the planner of the Grand Compet.i.tion, a burst of unabashed laughter broke out.

w.a.n.g Lu sat in a pavilion with a teacup in his hand, but the tea in the cup was constantly splas.h.i.+ng out because of the trembling of w.a.n.g Lu's laughter.

More than half of the extremely valuable spirit tea was wasted in this way.

Near w.a.n.g Lu, a Daoist Master of Non-Phase who was leaning against the pillar of the pavilion—which was w.a.n.g Wu, could not help but laugh. ”Pfft, is that why you came back here with your tail between your legs? Seriously, it's embarra.s.sing!”

”I-I didn't flee here with my tail between my legs! It's just that the trial is already finished and I didn't want to waste any more time!”

Aya angrily slapped the wooden table in the middle of the pavilion. Her long blonde hair seemed to blow like a lion's mane.

”How could you say the trial is already finished?” w.a.n.g Lu ruthlessly burst through Aya's excuse. ”After the trial then the judgment. You only completed the trial, but you have yet to give out the judgment. At least, there's no punitive measure, how could you say that your work is done? This is very different from your usual dedication to work.”

Aya was suddenly at a loss for words. ”I-I'm just… as a Western Continent person, I'm not in a position to interfere too much in your internal affairs. After I found out his crimes, I should give him to the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals to deal with it. Otherwise, I would overstep my authority and get involved in other people's affair!”

”Aya, you're really clever, you could actually find this kind of grandiose excuse. But, as a Knight, isn't bad to deceive yourself and others?” w.a.n.g Lu teased her with relish as he looked at Aya's embarra.s.sed face.

Aya felt her face had turned really hot, feeling extremely embarra.s.sed… Then she looked at w.a.n.g Lu's smiling face, which now looked increasingly good to be punched at, and gradually felt angry.

w.a.n.g Lu, you-you're too much! Obviously, you're the one who asked me to help you with the trial! How come you make fun of me now? Moreover, you never told me that the master of Heavenly Book Building is actually so disgusting! If I knew that, I wouldn't have agreed to help you! You are so bad!

Sensing that Aya had already begun to get angry, w.a.n.g Lu cleverly s.h.i.+fted the topic.

”But, it's indeed a hard trip, so I want to treat you to eat at Keeping Immortal Building.”

”K-Keeping Immortal Building?” Upon hearing this, Aya was a bit startled, then somewhat lost in thought, and then her willowy eyebrows rose. ”Do you want to use this insignificant thing to bribe me?”

w.a.n.g Lu laughed. ”How could I dare talk about bribe? This is just a normal lunch. You have done a big thing for me, so what's wrong in inviting you for a lunch? I heard that Keeping Immortal Building has recently created new dishes, Immortal Chicken and Emperor Jug. All are first cla.s.s delicacies. Why don't we go and try them?”

Aya was shocked again. ”Immortal Chicken, Emperor Jug?”

”To cook the Immortal Chicken, simply speaking, is to pick the Ninth Heaven Mysterious Bird as the ingredient. Then, it should be cooked for three years and three months using a secret method to raise the meat quality to another level, just like the body of immortal, making the taste nothing more delicious could be imagined. Immortal Jug, meanwhile, is a soup made in two years, which is made from 666 species of aquatic organisms in the Endless Sea together with 666 species of exotic gra.s.s in deep mountains and old forests. It's fascinating just to listen to this introduction, but the specific formula and taste are only known after tasting it. It is said that not long ago, the famous glutton of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, Zen Master Big Belly, went to Keeping Immortal Building to taste these two dishes and was moved to tears!”

”A-Are those two dishes really that good?” Aya's mind was already quite preoccupied with those two dishes, which made her eyes sparkle.

”Of course. A dish is worth two hundred thousand spirit stones. Moreover, only Elders from high-rank sects that are qualified for a reservation in that place—and the waiting line for it is at least three months long. As the Chief Planner of the Organizing Committee, it is possible for me to jump in queue.”

Aya was taken aback. ”Two hundred thousand spirit stones for a dish? That's too expensive!”

As the chef of Misty Peak, Aya was dazzled by the price of this dish—the cost of running the cafeteria for a year was only tens of thousands of spirit stones, most of which was used for the food innovation, so the actual cost of running the cafeteria was actually a lot less.

w.a.n.g Lu waved his hand. ”It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not. It would be reimbursed by public fund, not my own money. Don't forget, I'm now a senior leader of the Organizing Committee.”

Aya frowned. ”Isn't this… bad?”

”What's so bad about it?” w.a.n.g Lu asked, ”Recreational activities using public fund is a high-level fine tradition of our Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, it's an unwritten rule. Thus, I just act according to the rule. Aya, you are the Knight King, so it's right for you to abide by the spirit of chivalry, but you also need to know how to follow the custom and respect the local laws and regulations.”

”But does Union of Ten Thousand Immortal have such a rule? Not long ago, you also declared that during the Grand Compet.i.tion, everyone should fully cherish and effectively use public funds, and not take the opportunity to corrupt and waste it!”

w.a.n.g Lu laughed and said, ”That's for the people below to listen, what does it have to do with me? The rules and regulations do not apply to senior leaders, this is the biggest rule in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals! Moreover, as the Chief Planner, I have contributed a lot to the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, even millions of spirit stones are not too many. I have been doing things for the union for so long, could I not get a reward in the form of spirit stones from the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals? My work is not a compulsory job! Therefore, these benefits could be considered as compensation in disguise!”

”B-But…”

”No buts, if you say but again, the Immortal Chicken would be finished by other people!”

w.a.n.g Lu said, got up, and pulled Aya out of the door. Aya merely showed a half-hearted show of reluctance before she could no longer resist the temptation and quickly followed.

As for w.a.n.g Wu, she slowly walked behind them, thinking that since w.a.n.g Lu's meal expense could be reimbursed, then she could theoretically make up some false bills in the Keeping Immortal Building...
