After Zhu Mingyue announced the result of the selection for the Venerable of Zhuque Hall, Li Xuan got up from his seat.
There were still items, including the impeachment of Abbot Weizhen's position as an elder and the budget proposition for Shenyi Department, but Li Xuan had lost interest in continuing his participation, assuming that these would not likely be rejected.
Even if Li Xuan did not intervene, Zhu Mingyue would have ensured their acceptance.
The Venerable in the hall, after all, was not a clay idol.
Having served for twelve years in the Liudao Division and being one of the most powerful Fumo Venerables in history, he was far from powerless in the elder council.
The elders who got along well with Zhu Mingyue overlapped significantly with Li Xuan's side. The four families of Confucianism, Legalism, Military, and Moism shared Zhu Mingyue's philosophy of worldliness. Only the Daoist and Buddhist schools advocated transcendence.
