Chapter 87

"Xiaoming, I know, I'll be over in a bit. Dandan, this time you come with me."

"Yes, Senior Sister."

Before the official start of the Hundred Treasures Hall meeting, the leaders of each sub-hall would have a brief meeting, initiated by the eldest senior brother of the main hall. This time, two representatives from each sub-hall would attend.

However, Ning Zhiyuan had not shown up at the last two meetings, and instead, Gong Sun Wuching, one of the Four Saints of Dao Guang Hall, presided over it. In a sense, Gong Sun Wuching's status was not on par with the eldest senior brothers and sisters of the other sub-halls, but Dao Guang Hall was too powerful, and Gong Sun Wuching's personal strength was undeniable. In any other sub-hall except Dao Guang Hall, he would be more than qualified to be the eldest senior brother.

Ning Zhiyuan's strength far exceeded that of the younger generation, so it was not surprising that he did not play with the children. Ning Zhiyuan could afford to ignore them, but others could not afford to ignore Dao Guang Hall.

The allocation of resources for the elders of each sub-hall was decided by the main hall, but the allocation of resources for the disciples of each sub-hall was decided by Ning Zhiyuan.

Lei Guang Hall also received the notification. The disciples of Dao Guang Hall were quite arrogant, and Hu Jing represented Lei Guang Hall at the moment.

"Hu Junior Sister, this is the meeting notification."

In principle, the leaders of the sub-halls should be addressed as Senior Brother or Senior Sister, unless they were of the same rank, in which case they would be distinguished by seniority and strength.

However, the disciples of Dao Guang Hall were clearly unwilling to do so.

The disciples of Lei Guang Hall glared angrily, but the other party remained calm.

Hu Jing smiled, "I understand."

Since the other party did not show respect, she did not need to respond either. "Ma Junior Sister, call Wang Meng and have him come along."

Ma Tian'er immediately agreed happily and ran out like a flash. Wang Meng was outside helping the physical cultivators move things, enjoying himself.

"Big Brother Wang, Senior Sister Hu is calling you."

As soon as Ma Tian'er spoke, a group of physical cultivators suddenly pinched their throats and echoed, "Big Brother Wang, Senior Sister Hu is calling you."

Ma Tian'er's face immediately turned as red as a ripe apple. Although she was not the type to stun people at first sight, she was indeed cute and pleasant to look at, with an exceptionally good personality.

"You guys, fine, I'll go first. You can continue tidying up."

Wang Meng smiled, "Ignore these guys."

Ma Tian'er bit her lip, her appearance was quite charming.

A girl in the bloom of youth is the most beautiful.

Unfortunately, the flowers may be willing, but the stream has no feelings...

"Wang Meng, you have to come with me. This is my first time attending such a meeting, and I'm a bit nervous."

Hu Jing said, appearing all-powerful in front of others, but she could also be nervous.

Wang Meng smiled, "What's the big deal? They're just our own senior brothers and sisters."

Hu Jing tidied herself up a bit, making sure she looked neat, and then went to the meeting venue of Dao Guang Hall with Wang Meng.

At the small meeting venue of Dao Guang Hall, with Yang Ying's arrival, almost everyone was present.

Initiated by Dao Guang Hall, Fei Feng Hall was the last to arrive, which was a habit. Beautiful women always had the right to make the gentlemen wait, and Yang Ying did not want to arrive early and chat aimlessly with a group of people. Arriving last, she could get straight to the point.

The flattery that might be a joy for ordinary girls was a burden for her, but as the eldest senior sister, she could not always act superior and keep people at a distance.

The hall was full of old acquaintances. It was somewhat surprising that Ning Zhiyuan had appeared, while Gong Sun Wuching was absent, replaced by Zhao Guang.

"Senior Brother Ning, greetings." Yang Ying and Gao Dandan bowed respectfully, genuinely so, as Ning Zhiyuan's cultivation and character deserved it.

"Hehe, Junior Sister Yang, Junior Sister Gao, please wait a moment. You're early this time, and Lei Guang Hall hasn't arrived yet."

Ning Zhiyuan said gently, not overly sharp, but with a majestic presence, a kind of cultivation that the elder cultivators of the Holy Hall appreciated.

"Lei Guang Hall is so arrogant, making so many of us wait!" Song Zhong, the eldest senior brother of Huo Yun Hall, said.

"Zhao Guang, it seems your management wasn't up to par before." Tang Wei added sarcastically.

Zhao Guang's rapid rise to power was unexpected by everyone. No one knew what method he used to get Ning Zhiyuan to bring him, but his appearance in this setting was undoubtedly to highlight his position.

Even in Dao Guang Hall, Zhao Guang was still a significant figure.

Zhao Guang smiled slightly, "Perhaps they've become a bit more temperamental recently."

Back in the day, Zhao Guang was a prominent figure on par with Tang Wei. Even now, in Dao Guang Hall, he did not take Tang Wei seriously.

A veiled insult was enough to make Tang Wei seethe.

"This time, Lei Guang Hall should be represented by Junior Sister Hu Jing. She might not know the rules." Ming Ren said. Ming Ren was always a good-natured person. Although there were still ten minutes before the meeting, Ning Zhiyuan's rule was to arrive early.

Ling Yin Hall was represented by Ming Ren and Li Tianyi. Li Tianyi leaned back in his chair, completely disregarding his image. Rules meant nothing to him.

Xian Yuan Hall was represented by Liang Yuan and Han Li. Both had been defeated by Li Tianyi and had been silent since arriving, but their expressions were relatively calm.

"Should we send someone to urge them?" Jia Sidao of Yu Shou Hall said, "We can't just wait here."

"Senior Brother Ning, let's just start. Whether Lei Guang Hall comes or not, it's not a big deal. Time is valuable for everyone."

The one who said this was definitely Qiao Qian, the eldest senior brother of Bai Cao Hall, but he had a distinctly business-like tone.

Ning Zhiyuan raised his hand, signaling everyone to wait a bit longer, "There are a few important matters this time, and we need everyone to be present."

However, they did not have to wait long. Wang Meng and Hu Jing arrived, and as soon as they entered, all eyes were on them.

Hu Jing was capable of handling big scenes, but this one was a bit overwhelming. The strongest of the younger generation from the nine sub-halls of the Holy Hall were all present, and they were all waiting for the two, their gazes tinged with impatience and scrutiny.

"Senior Brother Ning, greetings. Sorry, we're late."

Ning Zhiyuan smiled, "Junior Sister Hu, right? Just in time. Please sit. Now everyone is here."

Ning Zhiyuan did not ask about Wang Meng. Hu Jing was the new leader of Lei Guang Hall, and regardless of her strength, she deserved some respect. The others could be ignored.

According to the seating arrangement, Lei Guang Hall was at the end, saving them the trouble of walking.

Ning Zhiyuan paused briefly, drawing everyone's attention back to him. While everyone might have the intention to challenge him, they were still unconsciously intimidated by Ning Zhiyuan when facing him.

"Usually, the hall meetings are just a gathering to chat. This time, the Hundred Treasures Hall meeting has two important matters. The first one, as you may have heard, is that Ancestor Zhou, Ancestor Lei, Ancestor Wu, Ancestor Zhao, and Ancestor Ma will be attending our Hundred Treasures Hall meeting. This is undoubtedly a severe test for us, but also an opportunity."
