Chapter 15 is a calculated move!
Outside the door.
Emperor Xueye's personal guards relaxed as soon as they saw that Xueye had safely emerged from the area.
the next day.
Qian Xunji got up early and stretched his body in the courtyard.
[Sign-in complete today. Soul Power level +1. Current Soul Power level: 115.]
They set off three days ago, spent one day on the road, and stayed at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for one day. Today is the third day, which is also Ning Fengzhi's wedding day.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School truly lived up to its reputation as a sect with immense wealth. The red carpet stretched from Seven Treasure City at the foot of the mountain all the way to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School itself, with disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School standing along the way, forming a long procession to welcome the bride.
For the next month, everyone in Qibao City can enjoy banquets at will, with all expenses paid by the Qibao Glazed Tile School.
Such a grand ceremony is every woman's dream wedding. Not to mention ordinary people, even high-level soul masters cannot achieve such a scene!
Although Ning Fengzhi married an ordinary woman, he treated her with utmost respect and showed her no contempt whatsoever!
"This is quite a scene!"
Yue Guan couldn't help but sigh.
Ghostly Demon agreed wholeheartedly, "Being richer than a country is no exaggeration! Even the treasury of the Heaven Dou Empire probably doesn't compare to the wealth of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
Qian Xunji stroked his chin and said, "It's good to have money! You can do more things with money, right?!"
Compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Spirit Hall is clearly a much larger entity, with revenue comparable to that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
However, the Spirit Hall spends too much on subsidies for spirit masters, which means that even the Pope of the Spirit Hall doesn't live as carefree a life as the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
Upon seeing Ning Fengzhi's grand wedding, Qian Xunji was immediately filled with ambition!
Since you have the money to throw a wedding of the century, you naturally have the money to subsidize the Soul Masters on the mainland!
Thinking about this...
Qian Xunji suddenly laughed, "Yue Guan, send a message to the Spirit Hall now and have them spread the word that the Spirit Hall is preparing to discuss the matter of Soul Master subsidies with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"clear!"
Yue Guan immediately replied.
In this way.
Qian Xunji then put Ning Fengzhi in a difficult position, making it impossible for Ning Fengzhi to refuse. At the very least, Ning Fengzhi had to come forward and discuss the matter with Qian Xunji.
As for the result, it doesn't matter.
If it succeeds, the Soul Masters on the continent will be grateful to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and even more grateful to the Spirit Hall for improving the welfare of Soul Masters!
No, that would only highlight the Spirit Hall's righteousness, as it would shoulder the majority of the subsidies for registered Spirit Masters, thus winning over more people's hearts!
It's an open conspiracy!
Ning Fengzhi had no choice but to walk in himself!
At the banquet.
Ning Fengzhi brought his bride to Qian Xunji to offer a toast. Qian Xunji graciously stood up and waited for him to come over.
Tang Zhen, Yu Yuanzhen, and the others looked at Qian Xunji with confusion upon seeing his appearance, and finally stood up as well.
"Please enjoy your meal and drinks, everyone. Today is my joyous occasion, so please have fun!"
Ning Fengzhi had clearly drunk too much; his face was flushed.
Qian Xunji then said, "Sect Leader Ning, drink less. We still need to discuss increasing the subsidies for Soul Masters!"
"Your Holiness, I'm not drunk!"
Ning Fengzhi said, then drank another glass of wine.
Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Zhen exchanged a glance, both seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.
When was this said? How come they didn't know?
Moreover, such matters are generally discussed by everyone sitting down together, with all the major sects and the Heaven Dou Empire contributing in some way.
Now the two of you are sitting together discussing what's going on.
Moreover, Qian Xunji did not deliberately lower his voice when he said this, and everyone around him could hear it clearly.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi was being helped towards the bridal chamber to spend the night with his bride.
Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but ask, "Your Holiness, what did you mean by the increased subsidies for Soul Masters?"
"It means exactly what it says," Qian Xunji said. "It's alright, you all don't need to invest any more money. This matter can be discussed between the Pope and Sect Master Ning!"
Tang Zhen smiled and said, "Your Holiness, it is our duty as the three upper sects to do our part for the soul masters of the world!"
The sect leaders of the four lower sects, including Huyan Zhen, acted as if they hadn't heard anything and didn't participate in the topic.
The four lower sects already lack resources; if they were to spend money to subsidize other soul masters, wouldn't that be like someone squeezing their brains through a door?
Yu Yuanzhen remained silent for a moment. Among the three upper sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family had the fewest assets and the least profit.
Making them play with the young master is a bit too much to ask!
Emperor Xueye then said, "Increasing subsidies for soul masters on the mainland is a good thing, and it will also help the major sects enhance their prestige. However, the extent of the increase still needs to be discussed carefully!"
"Your Majesty is right!"
Qianxun rushed down the road.
"Then let's do as His Majesty wishes. Let's meet in a few days and discuss it properly."
Emperor Xueye looked at Qian Xunji speechlessly. Was he pretending not to understand such a tactful rejection?
Let's discuss it further!
Wasn't it you, Qian Xunji, who suggested it? How did it become my, the Great Emperor Xueye's, idea?
It's been a while since I last saw him. How did the dignified Pope of the Spirit Hall become so cunning?!
After the wedding banquet ended, Qian Xunji was the first to get up and leave.
"See you in a few days, everyone."
Xue Ye, Tang Zhen, and Yu Yuanzhen looked as if they had swallowed flies, and were very uncomfortable!
The three of them were already in financial straits, and to incur such a large sum of money in this matter would only make matters worse!
Yue Guan said, "Your Holiness, I am happy to see them suffering!"
"It should have been like this a long time ago!" Ghost said. "For so many years, our Spirit Hall has always been the one footing the bill. Otherwise, we would be the ones with wealth that rivals that of a country!"
Qian Xunji laughed and said, "It's nothing for us to spend this money, but it will be tough for the Haotian Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Heaven Dou Empire."
It must be said that the Spirit Hall was extremely efficient. By the time Qian Xunji and the others returned to the Spirit Hall, the news had already spread far and wide.
Almost all the Soul Masters were waiting for the outcome of the discussions between the Spirit Hall and the major sects!
When Ning Fengzhi woke up the next day and learned the news, he was completely dumbfounded. He rubbed his temples, looking very puzzled.
Did I say such a thing?
Ning Fengzhi read the message in his hand again, then quickly washed his face to feel more awake.
"I drank too much yesterday, so I can't remember much!"
Ning Fengzhi's wife got up and draped a coat over him, saying softly, "Judging from the news from various places, regardless of whether we pay this money or not, the Spirit Hall will benefit the most!"
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a large and wealthy family, so it's nothing for us to take out this amount of money!"
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath.
"But for the Haotian Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, and the Heaven Dou Empire, taking out such a sum of money is tantamount to cutting off their own flesh."
"What I'm most worried about is that they'll hold a grudge against our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School because of this..."
