Chapter 418 : Discussion Conference (7)
For all it was worth, the Discussion Conference was extraordinarily boring. Shang Daoming opened the discussion by listing out the issues that remained pending from the last conference.
A suffocating air of tedium descended over the participants as complaints arose, opinions struck each other in a verbal war of domination, and very few conclusions were made.
Once the topics were exhausted, Shang Daoming delved into the festering wounds of the Human Realm. These were no grand battles with demon lords, but mostly petty plagues and gnawing injustices that bled the common folk dry.
The only reason Zhang Fengxi was able to maintain a straight sitting posture was Qiao Wei’s promise to indulge in intimacy that very night.
Qiao Wei, on the other hand, was doing his best to represent his shizun and the Wushan Temple Sect’s interests.
"I disagree, Sect Leader Shang," he spoke up with an air of confidence.
Some seats away from him, Meng Xiyan rolled with his eyes and buried his face into his palms. Every time Qiao Wei disagreed with one of the elders, the discussion was prolonged for at least half an hour.
At that time, it was Shang Daoming’s prerogative to make a decision on everyone’s behalf.
"And how so, Master Qiao Wei?" Shang Daoming heaved, his patience slowly wearing thin in front of this younger cultivator who kept challenging him throughout the day.
"It is wrong to abandon those who possess no innate talent. We as cultivators should at least guide them and help them to achieve the apex of their capabilities."
The Sect Leader of Tian’an Shang Sect narrowed his eyes at Qiao Wei.
