However, he was soon captivated by what Xun FuJun had to say next.
"Next is the third matter, the position of the Earth Hall Deputy Master. Do any of you have thoughts on this?"
What followed was another moment of silence.
Everyone was unsure whether Xun FuJun, the acting sect master, had any plans, so naturally no one dared to speak first.
Just then,
one person stepped forward.
Puffing out their chest, they declared loudly:
"Qi Rulian, peak master of Shenti Peak and Minister of the Spirit Mineral Department, is willing to share the burdens of the sect master!"
Xun FuJun's gaze turned to Qi Rulian, his eyes flickering slightly as if assessing something.
Seeing Qi Rulian volunteer so readily, Ma Shengxu, who had aspirations for the position, also became restless.
Just as he was about to speak,
a cultivator with a slightly aged face stood up from a distance away.
"Qi Chun, enforcer of the Earth Hall, is willing to share the burdens of the sect master."
