Cheng Yin stood in front and watched Fang Yu walk past her, and felt that she was asking for trouble.
Cheng Yin was the first to walk into the Heaven Palace Hall, following closely behind with a group of people.
The Heaven Palace Hall was the largest in Sky Mansion Academy, it looked like a golden throne room in a dynasty. There were two rows of chairs below, and at the end of the chairs was a long jade stage.
This was where the Principal discussed, but the previous Principal, Lei Changfeng, did not bother with anything, so he had not used it in many years.
Yi Qingyun, Fang Yu and Yan Shien also walked over, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, they sat down.
Hua Ruge walked forward and discovered that the first seats on the left and right were occupied by Yi Qingyun and Fang Yu. The seats left for her were next to Fang Yu, and she was ranked second.
Danyang Peak was one of the top of the five peaks. If she had sat down in this seat, the competition would not have even begun and her momentum would have dropped. Those elders had looked down on her and might not have chosen her.
However, it would not be appropriate to cause a ruckus here. After all, this was an occasion where people would criticize anyone for not understanding the general situation.
Everyone present was cunning, after seeing through the clues, they were all waiting for Hua Ruge's reaction.
Although this matter was a dilemma, there wasn't much time for her to consider. After all, standing here hesitating was even more unsightly.
Hua Ruge thought of a countermeasure as he walked forward.
When she arrived in front of the empty seat, she looked at Fang Yu and said: "Chief Fang, thank you for helping me take my seat. Now that I'm here, it's time for you to return to your seat."
"Who said that this chair is yours? Can't I just sit here?" Fang Yu coldly replied.
Hua Ruge smiled and said: "Chief Fang, there's no need to joke in front of so many people. Danyang Peak has always been the head of the five peaks, so I naturally should be seated."
Before Fang Yu could say anything, Hua Ruge continued: "If you were to continue arguing with me, the elders would think that you are dissatisfied with the decisions of the previous Presidents. This is not good."
"You ?" Fang Yu was at a loss for words.
Hua Ruge immediately extended his hand to support her, and with a smile on his face, he said: "I thank Chief Fang for his good intentions, but if this continued, everyone would truly misunderstand."
Fang Yu didn't dare to wear the big hat of disrespect towards the previous Presidents, but she wasn't as smart as Hua Ruge and she didn't know how to respond.
Hua Ruge kept giving her a way out of this situation. If she exploded on the spot, the blame would be on her.
Even if she was dissatisfied, she knew that she had no choice but to retreat. Thus, with Hua Ruge's support, she stood up, walked to the next seat.
Hua Ruge could feel her anger even through the air, but she still didn't seem to notice and politely smiled, then sat down at the head of the table.
The old fellows who were sitting down could not help but have a whole new level of respect for Hua Ruge.
Such a short period of time, such a clever response, it was indeed as smart as the rumors said it was.
With this kind of Headmaster, at least he wouldn't have to worry about his Sky Mansion Academy losing out in the future.
Therefore, these elders had a much higher impression of Hua Ruge.
Hua Ruge raised his eyes and looked at Yi Qingyun, only to see that there was no change in his expression, as though he had something to rely on.
With just a glance, Hua Ruge knew that his greatest enemy today would definitely be him.
He just didn't know what cards he had.
"Chief Hua, today, in front of so many elders, I have something to ask." Yan Shien who had just spoken.
Hua Ruge still smiled and nodded, "Please speak, Chief Yan."
"I've heard that during the last time Chief Hua organized the concocting of pills, he only received half of it. The other half was given to the disciples. Is that true?" Yan Shien asked.1
Hua Ruge nodded: "That's right."
The neutral Elders frowned. This way, they would have fewer resources.
"First Elder Hua, this isn't appropriate. Pills are usually given to the peaks as resources, but now that you've only taken half of it, our resources are reduced. You have to understand that the medicine warehouse belongs to all of us, not you alone." Yan Shien asked.
The rest of the people nodded, and one of the elders spoke out: "Chief of the Hua Clan, what do you mean by that?"
"Of course the medicine warehouse isn't for myself, but to collect so many pills is always the first in terms of Danyang Peak, as long as there's a balance in the resources entering and leaving, that's fine. Master taught me that, I think there's nothing wrong with it." Hua Ruge said indifferently.
All the elders had a pensive look on their faces.
Who knew how many spirit medicines there were in there, and who knew how it would be balanced?
Seeing Hua Ruge's unperturbed attitude, it was clear that he did it on purpose, and was not afraid of being questioned.
Those who knew better would understand that this was a show of force.
If he did not choose her as the principal, who knew if he would have the resources to send more down.
Combined with Hua Ruge's generous resources from two days ago, it was a clear indication of her attitude towards him. If you let her have meat to eat, then if you stood against her, you probably wouldn't even be able to drink soup.
Furthermore, with Hua Ruge's current strength, even if the distribution of resources was unfair, no one would dare do anything to her.
Whether they were tempted, or scared, these people had no reason to refuse to rely on Hua Ruge anymore.
Yan Shien's brain was slow, but he had also thought of this point. He looked at Yi Qingyun and did not speak anymore.
He had also realized that the current Hua Ruge was no longer that weak little girl who had just taken over the position of Danyang Peak's head.
Seeing Yan Shien not saying a word, Yi Qingyun frowned.
"Although we do not have the qualifications to ask about the resources in the spirit medicine warehouse, but it's still too biased towards the disciples of Danyang Peak. I feel that it's best if someone else manages the Danyang Peak to ease everyone's hearts." Yi Qingyun said.
Hua Ruge swept his and Yan Shien's faces a few moments ago, and finally understood that the two of them had already colluded.
"Chief Yi's words are wrong. The Danyang Peak First Elder is so that he can bring glory to his path of alchemy. If he were to leave me here, I'm afraid that no one would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the other two powers' alchemists." Hua Ruge asked.
"Don't you know how important the dao of alchemy is to the development of the academy?" "If the art of alchemy falls, what resources do we have to use?" she asked.
The elders nodded their heads when they heard it. Hua Ruge had such a high attainments in alchemy at such a young age, which was indeed beneficial to the development of the way of alchemy of Sky Mansion Academy.
As for Hua Ruge being biased, everyone understood that was not the case. She had been in control of the Danyang Peak for a long time and the resources had always been allocated in a reasonable manner.
With this kind of Headmaster, he would definitely not have to worry about Sky Mansion Academy losing out in the future.
Yi Qingyun saw that his target did not suppress Hua Ruge's anger, so he continued: "Even if you have talent, this Sky Mansion Academy is not for you to mess around."
