Vol 2 Ch 63 Mo Qing is here
Cultivating Balanced Destiny had always been Hall Master Han Xiao’s principle. He treated everyone equally, encouraging competition among subordinates. Whenever he spoke, it was always in the same impartial tone. However, he hadn’t expected his own words to be thrown back at him by Zhang Xuan, leaving him feeling stifled and uncomfortable.
Slightly displeased, Han Xiao frowned. “Vice Hall Master Ling, as a vice hall master of Destiny Hall, shouldn’t you prioritize the interests of the hall and make greater contributions? If you’re only focused on personal gains and even considering transactions with the Wanchang Sect, how can I trust you with the position of hall master?”
“And what exactly should I do?” Zhang Xuan looked over.
Han Xiao replied, “It’s simple. Bring those people here now, and let me send them to headquarters. If the higher-ups are pleased, they’ll reward you handsomely. It’ll be a great boost to your future! Trust me, as long as we handle this well, we’ll earn their favor. Asking for benefits directly only makes you look bad and might ruin your bright future. Vice Hall Master Ling, I’m genuinely doing this for your own good. I truly wish to pass on the hall master position to you… If it were Vice Hall Master Chai in your place, I wouldn’t even have to waste so many words. You must understand my good intentions!”
Zhang Xuan shook his head. What an attempt at emotional manipulation! No wonder Han Xiao was so skilled at balancing Destiny—his eloquence was unmatched.
Once Han Xiao had said enough, Zhang Xuan’s face lit up with feigned excitement. “Are you saying you really plan to pass the position of hall master to me?”
Han Xiao nodded. “Of course. You’re so exceptional that, aside from Chai Yunsheng, there’s no one in Destiny Hall of Hanyuan City who can compare. Initially, the two of you were equally accomplished. But if you contribute these few geniuses, I can guarantee you’ll be my first choice—”
Interrupting him, Zhang Xuan said, “Don’t bother prioritizing. With Moon Sect Leader here, why not draft a formal agreement now? Relinquish the hall master position to me, and as long as you agree to give these geniuses to the Destiny Hall, I might consider it.”
