Bai Ze’s words were very aningful.
Bai Ze ant to say, we’re here to negotiate this matter, but Lady Ming King likely can’t make the decision herself; your father, the World Honored, needs to co for the discussion.
Lady Ming King wasn’t foolish; she naturally understood the implication in Bai Ze’s words.
However, facing such a Tier Two Peak expert like Bai Ze, Lady Ming King’s cultivation was indeed sowhat insufficient.
If Bai Ze hadn’t known that Lady Ming King was the World Honored’s daughter, he probably wouldn’t have bothered to waste effort conversing with her.
For a mont, Lady Ming King didn’t know how to respond and looked to dicine King Buddha for help.
dicine King Buddha was also a Tier Two Peak expert; he could stand on equal footing with Bai Ze and the others.
Faced with the pleading look from Lady Ming King, dicine King Buddha certainly couldn’t pretend to be ignorant; he looked at Bai Ze and slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Bai Ze, the World Honored has commanded that now all matters within the sect are to be according to Lady Ming King’s orders."
"Even I must listen to Lady Ming King’s commands."
With these words, dicine King Buddha was essentially saying that I, as a Tier Two Peak expert, must also obey Lady Ming King’s orders.
Since I have to follow Lady Ming King’s orders, then whatever you need, just go to her.
After dicine King Buddha finished speaking, he gave Lady Ming King a look, indicating that it was ti for her to shine.
Lady Ming King was slightly stunned but quickly spoke up, "Honored elders, my father is currently in seclusion, and it’s inconvenient for him to receive guests."
"If you have anything to discuss, you can inform , and if I can’t make a decision, I will surely notify my father at the earliest opportunity."
Lady Ming King and dicine King Buddha sang in harmony, making their stance clear, so Bai Ze and the others couldn’t linger.
Thus Bai Ze didn’t hesitate and recounted the events, seven parts truth and three parts falsehood.
The seven parts truth were about the Great Ming King’s battle with Elder Bai and those old foxes in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
As for the three parts falsehood, he omitted the part where they sched against Kong ngng and angered the Great Ming King.
Instead, he said that the Great Ming King proactively helped Elder Bai and the others deal with the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Thus, Lady Ming King and dicine King Buddha were led to believe that the Great Ming King had completely allied with Elder Bai and the others.
After hearing this, Lady Ming King was furious!
One must know that Elder Bai and his group were indeed rivals of the World Honored!
When the sect was wavering, the Great Ming King’s decision to retreat into the mountains and ignore worldly affairs had already made Lady Ming King discontent.
Now, learning that the Great Ming King was mingling with Elder Bai and his group drove Lady Ming King to finally lose her temper.
"Smack!" Lady Ming King slamd the table and shouted angrily, "This Great Ming King, is truly overturning the heavens."
"What does he intend, really aiming to beco a traitor of the sect?"
Beside her, dicine King Buddha quietly watched the furious Lady Ming King, remaining silent.
Lady Ming King was still young, but dicine King Buddha was a seasoned veteran.
dicine King Buddha had already discerned that Bai Ze’s words weren’t entirely truthful; there was certainly sothing fishy here.
However, dicine King Buddha did not speak to remind Lady Ming King.
Obviously, dicine King Buddha was also plotting his own sches.
Now, with the World Honored unavailable and Lady Ming King in charge, dicine King Buddha positioned himself as the regent.
Though Lady Ming King seed like she was in charge, in fact, she needed to consult dicine King Buddha on everything.
Now, with Wu Nengsheng dead, within the sect, only the World Honored and the Great Ming King ranked above dicine King Buddha.
As long as the Great Ming King was removed, dicine King Buddha could beco the second most influential person within the sect.
Thus, dicine King Buddha would be glad to see Lady Ming King clash with the Great Ming King.
At this mont, Bai Ze felt the ti was ripe and quickly stood up, bowing to Lady Ming King, "Lady Ming King, we are already cornered, and we humbly request you to take us in."
"As long as you take us in, we will certainly be loyal to the World Honored and Lady Ming King."
Bai Ze was truly a cunning old fox!
He added loyalty to Lady Ming King after declaring loyalty to the World Honored.
They were Tier Two Peak, and Lady Ming King was Tier Four.
Tier Two Peak pledging loyalty to Tier Four—who wouldn’t be flattered?
It’s like having Jack Ma toast you during a drink.
Lady Ming King was a bit flattered by Bai Ze’s praises and felt a little buoyant.
Comparatively, Lady Ming King was simple and naive like a little white rabbit compared to the crafty Bai Ze and dicine King Buddha.
After a round of flattery, Lady Ming King regained so sobriety; she seed to sense that sothing was amiss.
Thus, she turned to dicine King Buddha and asked, "dicine King Buddha, what do you think about this matter?"
dicine King Buddha was an old fox, a wise man.
He knew that rational judgnt ant they mustn’t accept Bai Ze and his group under any circumstances.
If they took Bai Ze in, it’d an tearing the face with the Great Ming King and possibly having to choose between two sides.
The choice between two is not feared, but having the sect thrown into chaos is.
Yet, dicine King Buddha didn’t need rational judgnt; what he needed was to remove the Great Ming King and replace him, becoming the second most powerful person in the sect.
Thus, dicine King Buddha nodded to Lady Ming King and said, "The World Honored has previously stated that matters within the sect are for Lady Ming King to decide; I rely assist."
"At this ti, it’s Lady Ming King’s decision."
Lady Ming King was unsure at first, but after seeing dicine King Buddha had no objections, she made the decision, "Since all of you are willing to pledge allegiance to my father, then I certainly can’t refuse."
"You are all Tier Two Peak experts; according to sect rules, you should be conferred the title of Buddha."
"How about I presu to confer Buddha titles on behalf of my father?"
Lady Ming King, a re Tier Four, conferring Buddha titles to Tier Two Peak experts could be a lifeti of boasting.
Seeing that the rice was almost cooked, Bai Ze certainly wouldn’t refuse.
Bai Ze gave Xiang Liu and the Chongming Bird a look, and the three of them jointly bowed to Lady Ming King, "We ask Lady Ming King to na us on behalf of your father."
Rember, Bai Ze said to na on behalf of your father, aning these Buddha titles were bestowed by the World Honored, not Lady Ming King.
Lady Ming King hesitated briefly, seemingly deliberating over the Buddha titles, and after a while, she slowly said, "Bai Ze, knowing the emotions of all things, aware of the conditions of all things, with wisdom surpassing the world, is specially conferred as Great Wisdom Buddha."
"Xiang Liu, skilled in using the black water, able to calm waves and settle the sea, is specially conferred as Pingjiang Dinghai Buddha."
"Among the auspicious creatures in the world, with the Chongming Bird leading, is specially conferred as Great Auspicious Buddha."
After conferring the titles, Bai Ze seed more settled.
After all, these were verbal confernts; everything required white paper and black ink, formalizing to the heavens and the grand path to be effective.
Thinking of this, Bai Ze said, "I wonder if there’s any certification for these confernts?"
