"Slap Michiko!"
Both Lin Bai and He Gongji knew why Shi Renshan came. At this moment, Lin Bai simply pointed out the fault of the First Son of God, taking a preemptive strike and then seeing how Shi Renshan would respond.
Hearing this, the First Son of God became angry and said to Lin Bai: "Why do you mean I slapped Daozi? It was obviously Yu You who didn't understand etiquette and bumped into me on purpose."
"I just took action to teach her a lesson."
"On the contrary, the emperor and Elder He Gongji whipped me indiscriminately in public, causing me to lose all face. It's really abominable!"
"Master..."
After the First Son of God finished speaking, he said to Shi Renshan with tears in his eyes: "Master, you have to make the decision for me!"
The old man Shi Renshan's face was as gloomy as water, and he said in a cold voice: "I have seen this woman named Yuyou, the Taoist disciple. She is a water-based person and a follower of others."
"She stayed with the First Son of God because she originally wanted to become a dragon and a phoenix. How can we easily believe the words of such an evil woman?"
Among the crowd behind Lin Bai and He Gongji, Daozi Yuyou, who was standing slightly at the back, heard Shi Renshan's words, and his expression suddenly changed, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Elder Shi Renshan, whom she respected and admired so much in the past, actually distorted the facts and fabricated lies to slander her.
At this moment, Daozi Yuyou seemed to have completely seen through the hypocritical masks of Shi Renshan and the First Son of God, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
With the support of Elder Shi Renshan, the First Son of God was indeed confident, with a cold and hateful sneer on his face.
Lin Baiping said calmly: "Not to mention what kind of person Dao Zi Yuyou is and what kind of character he is."
"But it is true that the First Son of God slapped Daozi Yuyou."
"As the First Son of God said, it was Taoist Yu You who collided with him, but he shouldn't have slapped Yu You."
"After all, Yu You is the Daozi of the Demon Palace!"
"If word spreads about a Taoist being slapped casually, wouldn't it turn the Demon Palace into a joke?"
Seeing that Lin Bai wanted to support Daozi Yuyou, the First Son of God standing next to Shi Renshan was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Shi Renshan snorted coldly and said: "I really didn't expect Emperor Lin Bai to be so eloquent. I didn't notice it before."
"But even if the First Son of God is at fault, it's not your turn to set up a private court in Yongye Pass, right?"
"It's wrong to slap Daozi, but isn't it right to whip the Son of God in public?"
He stared at Lin Bai and said coldly.
Lin Bai shrugged and shook his head and said: "Elder Shi Renshan, please don't come after me. I am not the one who whipped the First Son of God in public."
"To be honest, I don't know anything about this matter!"
He smiled and pointed at Elder He Gongji standing next to him, and directly betrayed Elder He Gongji.
He Gongji's face darkened, he coughed slightly and said: "The situation on the border is extremely uneasy now. Under such circumstances, we must strictly enforce the law and correct the hearts of the warriors in the Demon Palace."
"If this matter is not punished severely, I am worried that the border warriors will be unstable, so they act like this."
Shi Renshan said coldly: "But doing this is obviously against the rules."
"You keep saying it's the law of the Demon Palace, but I remember...according to the law of the Demon Palace, to deal with warriors of the Son of God level, you must obtain the consent of the Council of Elders."
"But I seem to have never heard a similar motion in the Council of Elders?"
He Gongji calmly replied: "The situation is urgent and I have no time to propose a motion to the Council of Elders."
"Besides, according to the rules of the Demon Palace, if the emperor's son is present, he can directly override the resolution of the Council of Elders."
"Elder Shi Renshan, did I remember it wrong?"
When Shi Renshan heard this, he was suddenly speechless.
Ah? The emperor's power is so great? He can actually directly bypass the Council of Elders to make decisions on certain matters?... Even Lin Bai couldn't help being surprised.
This kind of power is almost the same as that of the Lord of the Demon Palace.
The current organizational structure of the Jiuyou Demon Palace is...the Palace Master of the Demon Palace is still the highest authority leading the Demon Palace.
However, because we don’t know what kind of state the master of the Demon Palace is in, he has not been in charge of the Demon Palace for a long time in the past.
Thus, power was delegated to the three holy elders and the Council of Elders was established.
The Lord of the Demon Palace has not been concerned with worldly affairs all year round, and the resolutions of the Council of Elders and the three holy elders have become the highest order of the Demon Palace today.
It is also because of this that the authority of the Council of Elders has become larger and larger over time, and it is even felt that their status is superior to that of the palace master.
However, according to the rules of the Jiuyou Demon Palace, the Palace Master and the Emperor's son are the real leaders of the Demon Palace.
The decisions made by the Palace Master and the Emperor's Son can directly bypass the Council of Elders.
That's why Shi Renshan's face turned so ugly when he heard "The Emperor's son was present and ordered to pass the Council of Elders."
Elder He Gongji said softly: "When I carried out the punishment, I already asked the emperor for his opinion, and the emperor gave me the opinion that I should be punished according to the laws of the Demon Palace."
"So, since I have obtained the Emperor's Son's permission, I followed the rules of the Demon Palace and directly dealt with the First Son of God without asking for orders from the Council of Elders!"
Is this the method you said? Why did you still push me to the front?... Hearing Elder He Gongji's words, Lin Bai suddenly laughed silently in his heart.
He thought Elder He Gongji had some clever tricks, but in the end he still had to push him out as a shield.
Shi Renshan was deflated for a moment. He puffed out his cheeks with a sullen face and took a few deep breaths. His eyes became colder and colder:
"Is this an order from the Emperor?"
After being silent for a while, he looked at Lin Bai and asked.
He Gongji also looked at Lin Bai. His face was neither sad nor happy, but his eyes were a little cold.
He seemed to be saying... In the final analysis, this still belongs to the grudge between you and the First Son of God and Shi Renshan, and you still have to take the lead. I can only assist you.
After Lin Bai felt the gazes of He Gongji and Shi Renshan, he calmly shrugged:
"Did I handle it improperly?"
"If there is anything inappropriate, please ask Elder Shi Renshan to point it out."
Lin Bai's answer was almost an admission, and he successfully attracted all the firepower from He Gongji.
Shiren Shanguo's chest heaved violently with anger, and when he looked at Lin Bai, his eyes became more and more evil:
"Okay, okay."
"I won't let this matter go!"
Lin Bai frowned, not understanding the profound meaning of Elder Shi Renshan's words. After thinking about it, he thought of Daozi Yuyou.
Is it possible that this old man wants to take advantage of Daozi Yuyou?... Lin Bai made a basic judgment in his heart and said:
"Daozi Yuyou is now practicing with me. If she has violated the First Divine Son and Elder Shi Renshan in any way, then I will apologize to them on behalf of Daozi Yuyou."
"I think Elder Shi Renshan has been practicing for many years and has a high status in the Demon Palace; and the First Son of God is currently the young leader of the Demon Palace warriors. He will not mind too much with Taoist Yu You, right?"
As if Lin Bai had read through his thoughts, Shi Renshan's eyes suddenly shrank, revealing Hanshuang. At that moment, he really wanted to use Daozi Yu You to perform an operation.
After all, Lin Bai was using Taoist disciple Yu You to deal with the First Son of God, so Shi Renshan planned to repay him with Taoist disciple Yu You, and used Daoist disciple Yu You to suppress Lin Bai.
But he didn't expect that Lin Bai saw through the trick in his mind in advance, and made it clear that Taoist Yu You now belonged to him and would follow him to practice.
Moreover, he also apologized to the First Son of God and Elder Shi Renshan on behalf of Daozi Yuyou, completely blocking the mouths of these two people.
If the First Son of God and Shi Renshan still entangle Daozi Yuyou in the future and spread the word, their prestige in the Demon Palace will inevitably be damaged.
On the contrary, they appear to be a little unkind and petty.
Shi Renshan gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Emperor, I'm not free enough to get entangled with a mere Taoist!"
"It's just that the current situation between the Eastern Region and the Northern Region is becoming increasingly unstable, and the competition between the geniuses of the Eastern Region and the Northern Region will be held in a few days."
"The battle between Emperor Lin Bai and the Holy Son of the Lian Shen Sect, Xiao Junfeng, is particularly important. I ask my disciples to do their best."
"This is not only for our Demon Palace, but also for the entire Eastern Region warriors!"
Sure enough, we have to start with this matter!... Lin Bai glanced at He Gongji lightly.
Shi Renshan's behavior was exactly as they expected. After discovering that Lin Bai blocked the way to retaliate against Daozi Yuyou, he indeed targeted the competition between the geniuses from the Eastern Region and the Northern Region.
If Lin Bai loses in the competition, I'm afraid the elder Shi Renshan will settle the score and settle all the old and new grudges.
Lin Bai nodded and said: "That's natural, I will naturally do my best!"
Shi Renshan added: "It's not about trying your best, but you have to win!"
