A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time to discuss matters again.

Tang Ning left the cave and came to the meeting hall.

Inside, Xu Yuan, Zhao Liheng, and Wei Xian were already sitting there. Tang Ning nodded to them and went straight to his seat. Everyone waited for a quarter of an hour, but Lu Guang hadn't come yet.

Several people looked at each other, but no one spoke first.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Lu Guang still didn't arrive. Tang Ning coughed slightly and said, "Since the deacon of this department has something to do and has not participated in this meeting, let me announce the agenda! From now on, the assets of the department outside the sect will be controlled by

I took over the management and collected a total of 30,000 spirit stones this year."

"The priority is to protect the rewards and funds for the disciples, and the rest will be distributed at the end of the year, still on a four-three-three basis. Do you have any objections, junior fellow apprentices?"

Xu Yuan and Zhao Liheng had no objections. Wei Xian opened his mouth and swallowed it back.

"Junior brothers, since we have no objections, this matter has been approved. This is the end of the discussion!" After that, Tang Ning stood up and left the hall, followed by several others.

……………………………………………………

Wei Xian jumped out of the light, and not long after walking, he came to the front of Lu Guang Cave, waved his hand, and handed the talisman inside.

Soon, the thick fog rolled in, clearing a passage, and he flashed into the inner room.

Lu Guangpan was sitting on the futon. Seeing him arrive, he said, "Junior brother Wei is here, sit down! How is today's meeting? What did Tang Ning say?"

Wei Xian took his seat as instructed and said, "He announced that he would take over the ministry's finances and then ended the discussion. Why didn't Senior Brother Lu participate in today's discussion?"

Lu Guang snorted coldly: "Do I still need to go? He has already bypassed me and taken over the department's finances. Let him be alone and prosper."

Wei Xian sighed slightly: "Senior Brother Lu, please don't act out of anger! Please bear with me for a few days. You are the deacon of the department after all. Although he is proud for a moment, it is the result of many years of forbearance. A small impatience will ruin the big plan. I hope Senior Brother Lu will deeply understand it."

Check.”

Lu Guang said: "Some things can be tolerated and some cannot be endured. Which one can be tolerated and which cannot be tolerated? I must compete with him. I have made up my mind."

Wei Xian was silent for a while and then said, "What does Senior Brother Lu plan to do?"

"I have reported him to the sect, accusing him of using his authority for his own good, being arrogant and domineering, not obeying orders, and other crimes. I am just waiting for the sect's decision."

When Wei Xian heard this, he sighed slightly in his heart and left.

……………………………………………………

In the Qianxingshan Assembly Hall, Luo Qingshui was sitting on a high seat, and the senior officials of the three halls and courtyards below were sitting there.

Everyone talked about the sect's affairs. About half an hour later, after the discussion was completed, Luo Qingshui said: "Juniors, if you have nothing else to do, let this discussion end here!"

Yin Qingyuan spoke from below: "Yesterday, I received a file from Lu Guang, the deacon of the Intelligence Department, accusing Tang Ning, the supervisor of the Intelligence Department, of being a bully in his department, being arrogant and domineering, trying to win people's hearts, and disobeying orders.

Request the sect’s ruling.”

After saying that, he flipped it with his left hand, took out a file, and handed it to Luo Qingshui.

Luo Qingshui took the file and flipped through it a few times, then handed it to several others one after another: "What do you junior fellow apprentices think?"

Tong Quan'an put down the file and said first: "This Lu Guang, as the deacon of the Intelligence Department, can't even solve the internal affairs of his own department? He still needs to ask the sect for a ruling."

"The two of them should not have been arranged to work together in the first place. They jointly elected deacons. As a result, Tang Ning violated the law and was jailed, while Lu Guang was elected. There was already a personal grudge between the two, and they worked together, and the conflict escalated.

It is inevitable." Cheng Shuimin of the Foreign Ministry said.

Luo Qingshui said: "Junior Brother Yin, what do you think about this matter?"

Yin Qingyuan said: "I agree with what Senior Brother Cheng said, and I also think that the two of them are no longer suitable to work together. Since last year, the relationship between the two has reached an irreconcilable point. They often have to argue for a long time during a meeting about trivial matters.

"

"Either Lu Guang doesn't agree, or Tang Ning doesn't agree, and no one can persuade the other. I've warned them several times, but it has no effect. The quarrels are getting worse and worse, and I won't mention it anymore.

Sometimes I even kick the desk into pieces."

"The incident between them has spread throughout the entire Secret Academy. Everyone knows that many disciples in the Intelligence Department are talking about it, and the impact is very bad."

"A few days ago, Lu Guang didn't even attend the regular meeting of the Intelligence Section. Tang Ning directly announced the agenda, completely replacing Lu Guang's position."

"The Intelligence Section is now very divided and there is great disunity within it."

"It has seriously affected the operation and efficiency of the Intelligence Department."

After Luo Qingshui listened, he pondered for a while and shouted: "Here comes someone."

Two men from outside walked into the hall, bowed and said, "What are your orders, Master?"

"Go to the Intelligence Department to summon Lu Guang and Tang Ning. Bring Lu Guang here first, and then bring Tang Ning."

"Yes." The two of them responded, turned around and left the hall, turning into light and leaving.

…………………………………………………………………………

In the alchemy room, Tang Ning placed her right hand on the through hole of the alchemy cauldron, controlled the spiritual fire, and carefully roasted the alchemy pills inside the cauldron.

His eyes were slightly closed, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead. He was concentrating, and his consciousness felt the subtle changes in the pills and the main medicine. By controlling the temperature of the flame and the spiritual traction, the main medicine powder and auxiliary medicine powder were gradually mixed with the pills.

Integrate into one.

Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound, and the stone door opened. He was disturbed by the sound, and accidentally, the powder of the main medicine rushed into the pill, and the shape of the pill expanded and contracted, turning into powder.

Tang Ning saw that the elixir was about to be refined, but was interrupted. She felt irritable and was about to scold him. When she turned around and saw the person coming, she stood up slightly startled and said, "Junior Brother Zhang, why are you here?"

The person who came had the body of a tiger and the waist of a wolf, and was tall and tall. He was none other than Zhang Xian, the head of the clan, Zhili.

"Senior Brother Tang, the master called you to go to Qianxing Palace. When I went to your cave, there was no one there. After asking around, I found out that you were in the alchemy room." Zhang Xian bowed his head and returned the greeting.

"The master called me? I don't know why?"

"I don't know either. The leader asked you to come over immediately."

"Okay." Tang Ning responded, and the two of them left the alchemy room, turned into light and rose up. After a short while, they arrived at Qianxing Hall.

"Senior Brother Tang, please wait here for a moment. Senior Brother Lu Guang is replying to the master and all the uncles in the room." Yan Song, another disciple on duty in front of the hall, said.

Tang Ning's expression remained unchanged and she nodded, but she already knew in her heart that Luo Qingshui suddenly called herself and Lu Guang here because the recent discord within the Intelligence Department had attracted the attention of the top management.

When things got to this point, one of him or Lu Guang was bound to leave sadly.

He calculated in his heart that he could get at least three votes of support among the top leaders of the sect. Luo Qingshui and Tong Quan'an would definitely support him.

Peng Wanli will most likely support it, because the fundamental conflict between him and Lu Guang lies in the reform of the financial system of the Ministry. Peng Wanli is the initiator of the whole thing, and promoting the reform of the financial system is in line with his original intention and interests.

So I will support myself.

Jiang Ming is old and has always ignored the sect's affairs. He did not take sides between Luo Qingshui and Shi Mingsui back then, and now he has no reason to support Lu Guang.

Therefore, Lu Guang could get at most three votes from Shi Mingsui, Cheng Shuimin and Yin Qingyuan. In the event of a tie, Luo Qingshui, as the head coach, has the right to make the final decision.

It was precisely because he had a sufficient advantage with the support of the sect's senior officials that he was not afraid of breaking up with Lu Guang, arguing over departmental matters, and even openly mocking him.

……………………………………………………

After a long time, a figure walked out of the hall, it was Lu Guang. He glanced at Tang Ning, passed directly by, and disappeared into light.

"Senior Brother Tang, please come in!" Zhang Xian said.

Tang Ning strode into the hall, bowed to Luo Qingshui and saluted: "Disciple pays homage to the master."

Luo Qingshui said: "Tangning, do you know why I called you here?"

"Disciple doesn't know."

"As the inspector of the intelligence station, your duty is to supervise and guide the affairs of the disciples of the intelligence department, but why do you often conflict with deacon Lu Guang? I heard that you often challenge cases, is this happening?"

Tang Ning said: "It is indeed true, but it is all for the official business of the department. Some of the practices of Senior Brother Lu are not very agreeable by the disciples. Unless the disciples think so, most people in the department do not agree either."

"But Senior Brother Lu insists on having his own way. As a department supervisor, as a department supervisor, when the department deacons make wrong decisions, they have the right to question them and pass resolutions to withdraw their orders. This is the responsibility entrusted to the disciples by the sect."

Luo Qing waved his hand and threw a file to him: "Now Lu Guang accuses you of winning people's hearts, being good at imposing authority, being arrogant and domineering, and disobeying orders. How do you explain it?"

Tang Ning was slightly shocked. He originally thought that the conflict between himself and Lu Guang had reached the ears of the sect's senior officials, so he called himself to confront Lu Guang.

Unexpectedly, it was Lu Guang who took the initiative to sue him. He couldn't help but look down on Lu Guang. This person only had this ability.

After being constrained within the department, he wanted to squeeze himself out by suing the sect. This was a desperate tactic to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to himself.

Even if he can be squeezed out, he will not leave a good impression in the eyes of the higher-ups. A dignified deacon cannot control internal conflicts and wants to sue the sect. Just saying this is very embarrassing.

Maybe what he said last time completely angered him and he was desperate!

Tang Ning opened the file and read it over, then said, "This is Senior Brother Lu Guang's one-sided statement. It is ridiculous and unreasonable. I hope all Senior Uncles will investigate it clearly."

Luo Qingshui said: "Is the above thing true?"

Tang Ning said: "Disciple doesn't dare to hide it. This is true, but everything happens for a reason. The real situation is not what Senior Brother Lu Guang said in his file."
Chapter completed!
