721 Write Down A Chapter At Weekend Hoping For The Next Weekend (1/2)
Time flew by.
Imperceptibly, it had been half a month since Senior Gem Emperor first appeared on the stage in Immortal One Area.
In the past half month, things like these had happened everyday in the City of Immortals. Of course, the most important thing was undoubtedly Senior Gem Emperor's feat of winning and being invincible against the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals alone. In the past half a month, the main arena of Immortal One Area had been full of people every time. There were at least twice as many people in each match as it once was.
Originally distributed in numerous venues throughout the city, the Grand Competition was now concentrated in one place, and the once spectacular arena had also became smaller.
However, compared with the enthusiasm of people from all walks of life in the City of Immortals, the competition achievements of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals were abysmal.
In half a month, they had been defeated again and again, and couldn't even score one victory!
Of course, at this time, people didn't know that, according to the agreement of Senior Gem Emperor and the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, as long as the union could win even one match, it would be counted as the overall winner. However, at the moment, the scene was too embarrassing and ugly.
During this period, the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals had to deal with protests from all sides. In the face of people's angry questioning, they looked for such and such excuses to shirk. At the same time, they needed to an internal consult to discuss new public opinion measures.
That sort of thing made everyone miserable. Wang Lu, who was in the center of the whirlpool, was the first to bear the brunt. The problems that needed him to solve were piling up every day.
However, for the secretaries who worked with Wang Lu, this half month's life was orderly, and the pressure was far less heavy than that of others.
Because Wang Lu seemed to be very relaxed. In the past half a month, even if something big had happened, it was hard to see a little bit of sadness on his face. It was as if everything was already in his mind. When he started to deal with the problem, he also did them methodically and orderly.
With such a leader taking the lead, even if the work was busy and tense, it would not make people tired. To this end, the secretaries fully believed in Wang Lu.
Among them, even those who had the worst backgrounds were talented elites from middle rank sects, where they were usually the center of attention of the people within their respective sects. However, at this time, these elites, under the order of the organizing committee, gave up their cultivation time and served under Wang Lu to deal with various low-end miscellaneous matters, which was very easy to arouse the restlessness and injustice in their heart. However, after having witnessed Wang Lu's work ethics, these people asked themselves honestly and could not help but admire him.
Wang Lu's way of doing things was not necessarily a brilliant one. Among his secretaries, there were many talents who were good at literary affairs. However, his spirit and mentality were hard to be compared with. It was clear that he was just a Jindan Stage cultivator who had not been cultivating for more than thirty years, but he was calmer than most senior Elders in Heavenly Sage Hall in the past half a month. The weight of the pressure borne by the organizing committee had worried many of the senior elders, but Wang Lu had always been like a spring breeze, gentle and indifferent.
In fact, the reason for his mild attitude and indifference was simple.
Wang Lu had given up the competition a long time ago.
”At this stage, it doesn't matter whether the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals win or lose.”
This was what Wang Lu said to himself half a month ago. So far, it had only been mentioned to a few people, and not even Daoist He Tu.
Because the Grand Competition at this time had affected countless people. Although the form had changed dramatically, in most people's opinion, no matter how the form changed, as long as they won, the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals could take the tomb of the immortals and get the support of the Earth Immortals, which could pave the way for the new golden age for the immortal cultivation world in Nine Regions.
Such a tempting prospect, not many people could resist it. People's desire was like an irresistible torrent that the only way was to let it roll forward naturally. Anyone trying to stop it would be crushed to pieces.
Of course, Wang Lu didn't want to be crushed to pieces. Thus, he still did his work in an orderly way on the surface. In the face of public doubt, like why did he refuse to participate in person for half a month? Why did the previously unstoppable power disappear suddenly? Was it because of his personal relationship with the Earth Immortals that played a role in it? And what would happen in case of real failure? Wang Lu's unified answer was: no comment.
In fact, in the past half a month, Wang Lu's focus of work had long changed.
Senior Gem Emperor.
Of course, Senior Gem Emperor was actually the focus of the work of the entire Union of Ten Thousand Immortals. However, the Union was thinking on how to defeat her, while Wang Lu was thinking about how to further understand her. Of course, from another point of view, no matter who won the competition, as long as they could win Senior Gem Emperor, the result would be the same. However, what Wang Lu though was further than that.
The more he knew about her, the more Wang Lu found out that she was really a wonderful person. There were so many secrets hidden in her that he couldn't help but want to unravel them.
For example, the first secret: What was Senior Gem Emperor doing in the past half a month?
In most people's eyes, she appeared on time every day in the main arena in Immortal One Area, won the competition one after another by unpredictable means, and made the whole Union of Ten Thousand Immortals lose face.
