CHAPTER 1046: CHAPTER 1046 DISCUSSION!

At this moment, upon hearing He Yunshan’s words, the team leaders who had been chatting separately all stopped simultaneously, some moving closer, others watching coldly from a distance.

He Yunshan didn’t care about their reactions and immediately said:

"Deputy Ministers, have you heard about last night’s Han Family banquet?"

"Han Family banquet last night?"

Jia Guang frowned.

"I haven’t heard about it, what happened?"

He Yunshan quickly said:

"Last night, our mysterious minister, apparently over a woman, went to the Han Family’s banquet and got into a massive fight with Han Minghao, eventually defeating him."

"What???"

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

Han Minghao?

He is renowned as the number one martial artist among the young generation in Shanghai.

Among the seated team leaders, not one of them could assure they could defeat Han Minghao.

Unexpectedly, the new minister actually defeated Han Minghao.

Jia Guang’s eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance.

"Yunshan, are you serious?"

"Did he really defeat Han Minghao?"

He Yunshan nodded.

"I verified it with several people who attended the banquet."

"The new minister not only defeated Han Minghao but also defeated Gu Shengchuan."

Sss—

As he said this, people’s initially shocked expressions turned to utter astonishment.

Gu Shengchuan?

The one known as ’Ruthless Bone Knife’ Gu Shengchuan?

Wasn’t it said that his cultivation was already at Holy Realm Complete?

The new minister actually managed to defeat him as well?

This... is simply unbelievable.

Even Lin Yinfly showed a look of being moved.

Jia Guang’s expression turned extremely grim.

"This is impossible!"

"How could someone his age defeat Gu Shengchuan?"

"I think there’s something fishy here."

He Yunshan quickly said:

"Deputy Minister Jia is right. According to those who attended the banquet last night, Zhou Yu secretly took a secret medicine to boost his cultivation, which led to his impressive victory."

Upon hearing this, the look of astonishment on everyone’s faces immediately turned into disbelief.

"What the hell?"

"He took a secret medicine?"

"Isn’t this just pretending to be something you’re not?"

"What’s he trying to accomplish?"

For a moment, the team leaders all showed disdain, and their mouths were filled with sarcasm.

Jia Guang also came back to his senses.

The shock in his eyes had vanished, replaced by mockery.

"Isn’t it obvious?"

"Didn’t you hear what Yunshan just said, that kid did it for a girl."

"Wanting to be a hero but lacking the skill, so he secretly used a secret medicine, achieving both the goal of showing off and intimidating our Hu City Martial Pavilion."

"Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone?"

Upon hearing Jia Guang’s words, everyone immediately understood.

"So that’s how it is."

"I get it now."

"Looks like this new minister is another cunning player."

"He hasn’t even shown his face, and he’s already using all sorts of underhanded tricks."

"Alas, I can already foresee that once the news of him taking over as minister spreads, all these things will come out, and Hu City Martial Pavilion’s reputation will be thoroughly disgraced."

Seeing everyone mocking and ridiculing, He Yunshan glanced at Jia Guang with a subtle look.

Their gazes briefly met.

Jia Guang nodded slightly, showing a look of approval.

And upon seeing this, He Yunshan gave a hardly noticeable sinister smile and then joined the mocking crowd, filling the Martial Pavilion discussion hall with jeers and scorn.

It was at this moment that a burly man stepped forward, glancing coldly at Jia Guang before addressing the group.

"I urge you all not to be misled and underestimate this person."

"He is not as weak as you make him out to be."

His words instantly quieted the entire discussion hall.

Most people looked at this man with complex expressions.

This man, named Niu Biao, was also a deputy minister of Hu City Martial Pavilion a month ago.

However, because of a mission under his lead that resulted in the loss of five team leaders, the impact was so significant that Niu Biao was demoted to the special action group leader.

This matter was widely debated within the Martial Pavilion; some blamed Niu Biao, others the intelligence.

Nonetheless, since Niu Biao had been a deputy minister, he still held some authority.

So when Niu Biao spoke, everyone fell silent.

Seeing this, Jia Guang frowned and said coldly:

"Old Niu, what do you mean by misled? Sounds like you have a hidden agenda."

"Oh, right, I remember, didn’t you have contact with him when you were sent to rescue Miss Jiang?"

Niu Biao snorted.

"Indeed."

"Although when I encountered him, his strength had just reached the Saint Realm, I saw he has extraordinary talent and destiny, absolutely not someone who just pretends to be strong."

"That’s all I’ll say, believe it if you will."

After speaking, Niu Biao walked to the side, sat down, and drank tea, saying no more.

Niu Biao’s words, apparently, calmed everyone down a lot.

The discussions were not as loud as before.

Seeing this, Jia Guang’s eyes flashed with a barely noticeable coldness, then he said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes:

"Group Leader Niu seems to be defending the new minister a lot."

"Why?"

"Group Leader Niu, aren’t you trying to curry favor with the new minister for a promotion?"

"In my opinion, your wishful thinking is doomed to fail."

"Once this new minister arrives, if he can’t get past me, he might not even have the right to step through this door."

"I, Jia Guang, will never allow a worthless person to become the minister of Hu City Martial Pavilion."

Just as Jia Guang finished speaking, a soft chuckle was heard.

"What a big mouth Deputy Minister has."

"Now that I’ve arrived, I wonder how you plan to stop me from entering this door?"
