981 The Installation of the Residence of Nine Supremes’ Supremes (2/2)
”True!”
”Better not say it. Yituo is Lao Er (second elder in Mandarin)… Yituo Lao Er, Lao Er Yituo (can be slang to mean balls and penis)… This…”
”Hahaha… Ping Xiaoyi, you're a genius! What a way with words! Good thinking!”
The competition to determine the Supreme placing of the Residence of Nine Supremes finally came to a close.
The boss of the Residence of Nine Supremes was, of course, Supreme Cloud, Yun Yang.
The Second Supreme – Supreme Sword, Shi Wuchen.
The Third Supreme – Supreme Saber, Luo Dajiang.
The Fourth Supreme – Supreme War, Tie Qingcang.
The Fifth Supreme – Supreme Kuang (madness), Ren Qingkuang.
The Sixth Supreme – Supreme Meng (dream), Wu Menghuan.
The Seventh Supreme – Supreme Lan (orchid), Lan Ruojun.
The Eighth Supreme – Supreme Shi (rock), Shi Bujia.
The Ninth Supreme – Supreme Yue (moon), Kong Luoyue.
Demiurge-Flawed Lord Supreme – Guo Nuanyang;
Earth-Bereaved Lord Supreme – Ping Xiaoyi.
Majordomo – Qian Duoduo;
Chief Instructor – Dong Qitian.
At this point, the Residence of Nine Supremes' top-level administrative structure was complete. The installation of Nine Supremes was concluded while the two Lord Supremes after them were consummated as well.
Supreme Sword, Supreme Saber, Supreme War, Supreme Shi, and Supreme Kuang were under the combative unit; whenever the sect needed to fight, these Supremes, alongside their divisions, were the main frontliners, heading each battle.
Supreme Lan was tasked to collect intelligence, Supreme Meng was responsible for penalties and awards, while Supreme Yue was assigned to sect management and working together with the majordomo.
The Demiurge-Flawed and Earth-Bereaved duo were in charge of matters that could not be handled openly by the school. Once the Demiurge-Flawed and Earth-Bereaved struck, both heaven and earth must be deprived!
Shi Bujia was most probably the one at the most loss in the placing match of the Demiurge-Flawed Ten. His capability paralleled Tie Qingcang's and was even on par with Luo Dajiang. In spite of this, he had exerted too much after fighting Tie Qingcang that he was unable to keep up in the latter bouts and the advantage was taken by Lan Ruojun.
It was a matter of course that Shi Bujia was rather unhappy about it, but after some jokes, he had let it go.
Just like what Yun Yang had said before the battle, the chronology and pairing of the matches consisted of the aspect of luck. In addition, luck was the majority of a cultivator's general ability.
Shi Bujia believed in the term 'no compare, no despair' anyway. He was the Eighth Supreme but he was still one of the Nine Supremes. He still had Kong Luoyue, Guo Nuanyang, and Ping Xiaoyi after him! Looking at Guo Nuanyang and Ping Xiaoyi who were cheerily contented and unaffected despite not being enlisted as Nine Supremes, what else could he regret about?
Regarding Yun Yang's assignment, Dong Qitian had only scoffed.
It was too general, too perfunctory, too unspecific… It was child's play! He had never seen someone managing a sect like this. His identity as the chief instructor was even formalized – this was not what they had agreed on earlier!
