Li Xiaochen had always heard that the elders of the Presbytery would come to assess him in person, but he never expected that they would choose this day to come. He took Qin Yufei and respectfully went to the elders and raised one palm in accordance with the Taoist etiquette.

, say hello to them.

After some greetings, Du Ruo, who was standing behind these elders, stepped forward and said: "Minister Li, since the last battle at the Ten Thousand Gods Palace, your reputation has become more and more famous. You are already the youngest person in the world of cultivating immortals in China.

The number one master of your generation. Not only us, the world of Japanese and Korean immortals are also full of praise for you. Not long ago, there was news that you were married to Qin Yufei, the daughter of the two major aristocratic families, Qin and Lin.

, causing countless young immortal cultivators to toss and turn and have sleepless nights. Right now, in the world of cultivating immortals in China, who else is more popular than you?"

Just when Li Xiaochen was about to give in, one of the elders snorted coldly: "You just don't understand the rules. The film department wants to explore other ways to make a living. It's such a big thing, and we didn't inform the elders in advance."

This Xianmanlou is about to open today, and you didn’t send someone to send us an invitation in advance. You have already been disrespectful before you officially took over as the director of the film department. After you officially take over as the director of the film department, you will be even more unscrupulous.

!”

"Young men don't dare!" Li Xiaochen was so scolded by the elder that he broke into a cold sweat and quickly explained, "I once heard Melzak, the former director of the film department, say that the Xianlun sect has always been a spiritual practice. Except for the Xianlun sect,

Outside of the leader, others rarely have anything to do with the world. At most, they only accept material assistance from the Film Department. How the Film Department makes a living is a trivial matter. If this rashly disturbs the spiritual cultivation of the elders of the Xianlun Sect, wouldn’t it be a sin?

?That’s why I didn’t send an invitation to the Xianlun Sect…”

"You still dare to make excuses?" The elder glared at Li Xiaochen, becoming more and more dissatisfied. "The situation in the film department is quite special now. You are young and inexperienced, have no experience as director of the film department, and have no one to guide you. Of course our elders have to

I have given you appropriate guidance. Who would have thought that you would be so arrogant, completely putting us aside and ignoring us. From the time you first became the Director of the Film Department to now, you have not contacted the Elders once. Isn’t this because you don’t understand the rules?

performance?"

Li Xiaochen could only nod in submission and said: "Yes, yes, you taught me the right lesson. It was me who neglected the head of Xingyi. May I ask what I call this elder?"

"Unbridled!" The elder with a long beard shouted, "How can you, a junior like you, ask me my Taoist name? There is an order of seniority and hierarchy, and there are differences between seniority and inferiority. Young people nowadays just don't understand the rules."

Du Ruo quickly said from the side: "This elder's Taoist name is Qinggu. He is the head of the Xianlun Sect's Elders' House, and he is also the person who leads the Elders' House."

Li Xiaochen nodded and said with a smile: "Elder Qinggu, don't just stand outside. Let's go inside and talk, okay?"

The head of the elders' court said nothing and led the other elders into the Xianman Building. Qin Yufei led these elders to an unoccupied table in the corner of the Xianman Building and invited them to sit down.

Elder Qinggu glanced at the situation in the shop and found that the place of about a hundred square meters was already crowded with people.

These worldly ordinary people chatted and farted, which really disgusted him. How was this noisy place different from a vegetable market? It was decorated elegantly and classically, but it turned out to be such a bad environment.

Just as Elder Qinggu was muttering in his heart, the beauty in cheongsam enthusiastically came over to serve tea and massage services to the elders.

"Sir, let me relax for you. It's very comfortable." A beautiful woman in cheongsam came to the back of Elder Qinggu with a professional smile and said with a smile.

"No need." Elder Qinggu said coldly.

Li Xiaochen quickly winked at these beauties and signaled them to retreat quickly. But these beauties in cheongsam didn't notice his wink, and followed the old rules and touched the shoulders of the elders.

"Master, don't refuse people so coolly~" The beauty in cheongsam did not flinch, but faced the difficulty, "We provide free services and don't charge you any money. After you enjoy that wonderful taste, you

You will never forget me for the rest of your life~"

The corners of Li Xiaochen's eyes began to twitch constantly.

"Back off!" Elder Qinggu slapped the table, shouted at the beautiful woman, and glared at Li Xiaochen displeased, "Is this your new way of making a living? Look at what clothes they are wearing! Showing their arms and thighs is perfect.

How unbecoming! People who don’t know it think they have entered a brothel!”

Qin Yufei said quickly: "The elder misunderstood. They are wearing cheongsam. We provide free massage and foot bath services to our guests. They are just..."

"Mrs. Li..." Elder Qinggu shook his head and interrupted Qin Yufei, "I thought that since you were born in a famous family, you should know some principles and rules than my husband. Now it seems that you are really ignorant!"

Qin Yufei looked puzzled and asked: "I...did I offend the elder in any way?"

Elder Qinggu snorted twice and reprimanded: "Mrs. Li, you are already married to Minister Li. No matter how powerful you are, you are his wife. I was talking to my husband just now. Where is your turn to interrupt here? Besides,

, do you have a role to speak here? Women should stay in the inner hall and take care of their husbands and children. Don’t come out to show off your face all day long. Didn’t your parents teach you these rules and etiquette? Well, even if they didn’t,

Your honorable husband should also teach you. This is really Minister Li’s lax discipline."

"Yes..." Li Xiaochen and Qin Yufei sighed together and lowered their heads helplessly.

Elder Qinggu continued: "When we came here this time, we originally wanted to conduct a strict assessment of Minister Li. Now it seems that there is really no need to take another exam. Everything is disappointing, extremely disappointing! How could Melzac do this?

Choosing such a naive guy who doesn’t understand the rules to be the head of the film department? It’s so puzzling.”

After exchanging glances with other elders, Elder Qinggu expressed the opinion of the Elders Council to Li Xiaochen: "Li Xiaochen, the director of the Film Department, does not know the general situation, has shallow qualifications, limited abilities, and cannot be used in a big way. After careful consideration by the Council of Elders, today

He will be stripped of his position as head of the film department and will not be retained."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Li Xiaochen and Qin Yufei were shocked, but also the beauties in cheongsam surrounding the table were all shocked.

After being surprised, Li Xiaochen suddenly felt relieved. The heavy burden on his shoulders was suddenly lifted, and he felt extremely relaxed. To be honest, this mess in the film department is really difficult to clean up. It is rare to have this opportunity to become a director.

A free man. It's too late for him to rejoice. It's just that he promised Melzac to revive the film department. This promise may not be fulfilled.

But things in life will not go as planned. All you have to do is try your best and have a clear conscience.

Qin Yufei quietly held Li Xiaochen's hand and gave her silent comfort in time, hoping that he wouldn't mind too much. Li Xiaochen smiled back at her, saying that he would not be sad.

He didn't mind this, but these cheongsam beauties were not happy. Before, they didn't know that these old people were the elders of the Elders' House, so they were more casual. Now that they heard that they pronounced the "death penalty" on Li Xiaochen, the cheongsam beauties were

Protest indignantly.

"Why! Minister Li has no airs, is a nice person, and is handsome. If he doesn't want to be minister, why should you old guys be the one?"

"That's right! I like Minister Li's naughty smile the most. When he smiles naughtyly at me, I feel numb all over and want to have sex with him right away~"

"If Minister Li resigns, we will go with him. Hum, I don't want to work under you old guys with rigid ideas."

"Yes! We have been following Minister Li all our lives. There is no hope for the main wife. At the very least, we have to be a side wife. I have been guarding myself for so many years, just waiting for him to come... I hate it, so shy~ People say things like this

Why don’t you export it~”

Elder Qinggu looked at these beauties in cheongsam and was furious: "Shameless! If you don't want to do this, please leave. Where is Zhu Yueji? Call her over! I want her to take over the film department!"

"Uh, well... I'm afraid you've taken a liking to her for the time being." Li Xiaochen was about to explain the reason when he saw Elder Qinggu, who was thirsty and tongue-tied, pick up the tea cup and take a sip of tea.

"Pfft...it's so spicy! What kind of tea is this?" Elder Qinggu choked on the spicy taste and spit out the tea, coughing uncontrollably.

The beauty in cheongsam on the side pursed her lips and smiled: "You deserve it! I should have choked you to death!"

Li Xiaochen lowered his face and said to them: "Don't tease the elders. You all go and greet other distinguished guests."

The beauty in cheongsam did not dare to disobey him, she greeted him obediently, and then went to wait for other guests. Li Xiaochen kept smiling and said to the elders: "Elders, this is a rare visit, so there is no need to leave in a hurry. Although I am attracted by you

I’ve been dismissed from my job, but I’m always a customer when I walk in. A small shop is opening today. Why don’t you sit down and have a cup of good tea before leaving?”

After saying that, Li Xiaochen winked at Qin Yufei. The latter smiled at the elders and said, "Elders, please wait a moment. I'll make tea."

After Qin Yufei left, Elder Qinggu looked at Li Xiaochen curiously and asked, "Don't you feel resentful of our decision?"

Li Xiaochen smiled and said: "How could it be? I think I am so happy. Although I was surprised at the moment you announced it, I was more relieved. I am indeed young and have little experience. In

Management is also a mess. I can't be a friend, but I can't be a leader. What's more, the financial burden on the film department is too heavy. I can't cope with it. It's better to leave it to more talented people. This is the best decision.

"

The elders of the Xianlun Sect exchanged looks in astonishment and nodded one after another. Elder Qinggu, as the representative, said: "Thank you very much for your understanding. I am also grateful for everything you have done for the Shadow Club and the Xianlun Sect. Originally, we planned to complete the ruling.

, we will return to the Xianlun Sect. But since you invite us sincerely... well, I will stay here for the time being and drink a cup of tea brewed by Mrs. Li herself before leaving. It can also be considered as a favor to you.

But don’t put anything else in the tea.”

Li Xiaochen chuckled and said, "Of course not. I apologize for their rude behavior just now."

Not long after, Qin Yufei brought the brewed green tea to the table and replaced it with the old tea. The elders picked up the teacups, but before they had a chance to taste them, they saw several Japanese standing outside the door.

One of the beauties wearing a clean and neat miko costume took two steps forward, stood in front of the Xianman Tower, and said in poor Chinese: "Izumo Chiyuki, the great miko of Izumo Taisha Shrine, came to visit Li Xiao
