Chapter 426: Siren City Executive Meeting (2/2)
”I'm so sorry that I've been neglecting you and your sect. I was so busy that I didn't have enough time to spare.”
Sun Wentai warmly smiled at Miaomiao. His attitude changed after he had witnessed the fight, ”It's alright. You're the ruler of this city, so it's natural to be busy. On the other hand, we're merely freeloaders.”
”You're too humble, senior Sun,” Miaomiao was also polite. He exchanged pleasantry with Sun Wentai for a moment before he got to the point.
Miaomiao gazed at everyone and retold what he had chatted with Sima Fang. Again, Miaomiao politely saluted to all elders, ”Everyone, I'm planning to make a new sect, and I would like your organizations to merge with me.”
The expression of Zhao Bao, Sun Wentai, Huang Gongfu, and Mao Xueyan turned solemn. They stared at the upstart lord in awe, surprise, and doubt.
Ma Moxi, Dian Wei, Fogan, Qiongqi cub, and Hopea had no problem integrating their forces with Miaomiao's new sect. After all, they respected him, his strength, and his connection network.
Wei Yuan, Jia Wenhe, and Ju Shoufen had no comment, but they fully supported this idea. Miaomiao was with them from the very beginning, and they trusted him.
As for the newcomers, they had concerns. Even Zhao Bao hesitated whether serving Miaomiao was a good idea.
Zhang Jue stood up and questioned the young lord, ”Master Mao, what are you trying to achieve by creating a new sect? At your age, are you looking for a successor already?”
”Wrong,” Miaomiao shook his head.
”If you aren't looking for a successor, then why?”
”I don't care about successors since they will eventually inherit my cultivation techniques whenever our population is strong enough. What I want right now is an organization that rivals Immortal Union Sect!!”
The eavesdroppers and the elders widened their eyes in astonishment.
From Miaomiao's statement, he declared that he wanted to compete against the Holy Land Continent's top sect, which was supported by various immortals and dao gods!
It was like a declaration of war or a rebellion!
Fogan got goosebumps as his orc's fighting spirit was ignited. He stood up and cupped his fist without hesitation, ”Whatever you wish to achieve, I'm with you!!”
Dian Wei was disinterested in the power struggle. She tilted her head, ”Does having a sect fill your stomach?”
Miaomiao laughed, ”Indeed. Once we conquer the Aves Continent and become the sole lord, we can start farming and breeding livestock for food. Heck, I'll show you something special after the meeting.”
”Really!? Then, I'm with you!”
Dian Wei cackled as she voiced her support as well.
After Dian Wei gave her vote, Hopea, Wei Yuan, Ma Moxi, Ju Shoufen, and Jia Wenhe followed suit. Even if they were close, they saluted Miaomiao to show that they approved his idea.
Seeing the supporters of Miaomiao, Sun Wentai and Huang Gongfu glanced at each other.
Had they agreed to this request, Jiangdong White Tiger Sect would have submitted under Miaomiao by default, which was something they didn't want.
They still valued freedom after all.
”Master Mao, could you elaborate how your sect will operate? We can't make our decision with just words alone. We need a solid organization chart and more detail.”
”I knew that you would ask me that. I've already prepared the rough draft of the new sect,” Miaomiao laid out a large scroll on the round table, which contained the draft of his sect and branches.
As Miaomiao had explained to Sima Fang, Jiangdong White Tiger Sect would become one of the sect's divisions, and they could retain their freedom. However, they had to conform to Miaomiao's rules and regulations.
”Seven divisions?” Huang Gongfu gazed at the organization chart and frowned, ”So, you're allowing us to teach our disciples as we used to?”
”Not exactly. I… no, we will reform your organization to integrate with our city's system. Your flying island will still be yours, but we will have to filter out some of your disciples and reeducate some of the hoodlums.”
”In short, some of our personal will be fired.”
”More like, we will have them take another exam if they are suited to join our new sect. The failed candidates will be kicked out while the hidden talented individuals will be nurtured. Of course, even if they are talented, if their personality is shitty, we'll kick them out, too.”
”…”
Huang Gongfu's frown deepened as he disapproved of this idea.
Meanwhile, Sun Wentai, who had always envied Miaomiao's culture, was inspired. He smiled and laughed, ”We'll do it! We'll reform our personal and organization together!”
”My lord!” Huang Gongfu stared at his lord in shock.
”Gongfu, I always wanted to do something about our sect's culture and our way of teaching our disciples. So far, I hate it. I always dreamt of changing it, but I always had cold feet.”
”…”
”I want to raise youngsters to grow up as a proper adult, Gongfu. I don't want them to grow up as cruel cultivators in this harsh world anymore. I want them to learn about love and compassion.”
