Chapter 218 Who do you think you are?
Under the veil of night.Xiao Yi and the others had finally tidied up the room, and Lin Bing Xin had personally cooked, preparing some food and drink.
They sat around the table.
Yan Mingli took a sip of wine and said with a heavy voice, "Xiao, the Xiaoshanhe Institute is not easy to manage!"
The entire Xiaoshanhe Institute, under the control of Chen Shuiwen for more than a decade, had already been shaped into an impenetrable fortress.
It had become a little kingdom belonging to Chen Shuiwen.
To put it bluntly...
If Xiao Yi directly employed drastic measures, with one command from Chen Shuiwen, I'm afraid all the tutors and disciples of Xiaoshanhe Institute would follow him and leave.
When that time came, Xiaoshanhe Institute would be left with just a few of them, existing in name only.
As for showing weakness and trying to win people over?
With their brief interaction with Chen Shuiwen today, everyone understood that this path was also absolutely impossible.
Chen Shuiwen would definitely not be content to be inferior to others.
"Let's wait and see how things unfold for now, then slowly look for a breakthrough!" Xiao Yi said. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
"However, we don't have much time left. In three months, the Ancestral Worship Ceremony will take place. If we cannot achieve some results by then, it will be difficult to explain to Emperor Qian!" Yan Mingli said gravely. For the sake of following Xiao Yi, he had even declined the opportunity to succeed as the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion in the Tianqing Kingdom.
Yu Huaxian said impatiently, "In my opinion, just kill those who don't obey. Kill one to warn a hundred. I don't believe they wouldn't be afraid!"
This was the former Supervisor Yu Huaxian of the Eastern Factory.
The principle followed by the Eastern Factory was to quench killing with killing!
Those who don't obey?
Kill!
Those who aren't honest?
Kill!
Kill until everyone dares not disobey.
Xiao Yi glanced at him and said speechlessly, "We are a sect here, not your Eastern Factory. Let alone killing them, if I take out any one of them and scold them, wouldn't a bunch of tutors immediately follow Chen Shuiwen to offer their resignations?"
"Resign? Wouldn't that be perfect? Let them get lost, and leave Xiaoshanhe Institute to us!" Yu Huaxian asserted as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and didn't bother to respond.
Yan Mingli sighed, "To the people of Xiaoshanhe Institute, we are all outsiders. Once we anger them, it's not just a matter of them all resigning; what if all the tutors go on strike? Who's going to teach those thousands of disciples? Besides, can you be certain that those disciples will listen to us? You're too naive!"
Xiao Yi said gravely, "Elder Yan, tomorrow you and Yu Huaxian go check Xiaoshanhe Institute's finances, see if we can start from there. Elder Xue, the several elixir formulas I gave you before, hurry up with your re
Zheng Dongsheng's cultivation was at the peak of the Golden Core Realm.
Plus, he had Innate Divine Strength.
Among those of the same realm, he was nearly invincible!
"Do you think the new head will dare to accept Zheng Dongsheng's challenge?"
"He might refuse, right? After all, his cultivation is only at the peak of the Golden Core Realm. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he lost to Zheng Dongsheng?"
"But if he refuses, wouldn't that also be humiliating? An institute head who's afraid to accept a challenge from a disciple..."
Everyone discussed animatedly.
Zou got up, dusted himself off, and came over, rebuking, "Zheng Dongsheng, who gave you the guts to talk to the new head like that? All you know is fighting; don't you know that fists have no eyes? What if you injure Xiao, and something terrible happens? Could you afford that?" He turned to Xiao Yi, gestured with his hands in respect, and said, "Xiao, he's just a kid who doesn't know any better. Don't hold it against him!"
This seemed like Zou was trying to get Xiao Yi out of a tight spot.
But in reality, he was hinting that Xiao Yi was inferior to Zheng Dongsheng and that if the two of them fought, Xiao Yi was bound to lose!
If at this moment Xiao Yi indeed refused Zheng Dongsheng's challenge, it would be an admission that he was less capable than Zheng Dongsheng, and a significant blow to Xiao Yi's reputation.
Just when everyone was waiting to see Xiao Yi make a fool of himself.
Xiao Yi lifted his eyes, looked at Zou in front of him, "Did I allow you to speak? Who do you think you are, prattling on like that in front of me?"
