Chapter 129: Chapter 128: Establishing the Law Enforcement Team (Voting for Monthly Tickets)

Duobao frowned, feeling that something was not quite right. Is his junior brother actively giving up his position? The image of Zhao Gongming surfaced in his mind—decent talent and integrity, indeed suitable to be the Outer Disciple Leader.

Bai Jin spoke with a tone of grievance, "Master, you have deceived your disciple’s feelings."

Tongtian coughed dismissively, "Nonsense!"

Bai Jin turned to look at Duobao, his eyes lighting up as he hurriedly said, "Master, most of the Outer Disciples look up to Senior Brother as their leader. Maybe we should let Senior Brother take on the role of the Outer Disciple Leader! I think he would be quite appropriate."

Duobao’s eyelids twitched twice, and he quickly responded with modest opposition, "I shouldn’t. I have no management experience; I only lecture them on the Tao, and they only have respect for me, not awe."

Tongtian spoke sternly, "Bai Jin, stop this foolishness! You are without a doubt the one to become the Outer Disciple Leader."

Bai Jin, dispirited, replied, "Yes!"

Tongtian’s tone softened slightly, "Your master is not unreasonable. I can grant you one request."

Bai Jin stood up straight and said seriously, "Master, if I must be the Outer Disciple Leader, I would like to establish an East Sea Guard Team."

"What?"

"Jie Sect Judgment Department~"

"What?" Both Tongtian and Duobao were utterly confused.

Bai Jin coughed and clarified, "That is, the Law Enforcement Team."

Tongtian replied irritably, "The Law Enforcement Team is the Law Enforcement Team, there’s no need for fancy names like ’Guard Team’ or ’Judgment Department’. Whatever you want!"

Bai Jin bowed, expressing his gratitude, "Thank you, Master!"

Tongtian waved his hand dismissively, "All of you, go away! I’m irritated."

"Yes!" Bai Jin and Duobao bowed and then turned to leave.

After exiting the Biyou Palace, Duobao said with a chuckle, "Junior brother, what a clever tactic!"

Bai Jin asked in confusion, "Senior brother, what do you mean? What have I done?"

Duobao sneered, "A fine display of feigning retreat to advance, but you can’t fool my eyes. First, you pretend to resign as the Outer Disciple Leader, and then when our master insists you stay, you seize the opportunity to suggest the formation of the Law Enforcement Team. Clever little tactics, but hardly lofty. Have you ever thought about what you would do if master agreed? Let me give you a word of advice, be steady in your cultivation," and he strode off.

Bai Jin was stunned, then hurriedly followed, calling out, "Senior brother, senior brother, you’ve got it all wrong, I would love for master to agree! I genuinely want to resign from the position of Outer Disciple Leader!"

Inside the Biyou Palace, Tongtian said leisurely, "Duobao, your thoughts are not pure enough."

His gaze turned toward the Primordial Continent, where the entire land was shrouded in energies of slaughter and tribulation. A great war was not far off.

...

Bai Jin returned to his Bird’s Nest, entered the Refining Room, and began designing—Jie Sect Law Enforcement Team’s uniform should be solemn, primarily black, and what else was there? What materials should he use?

On the other side, on Three Immortals Island, Zhao Gongming and Yun Xiao were sitting opposite each other.

Zhao Gongming sipped his drink with repeated sighs.

Yun Xiao asked puzzledly, "Elder brother, what’s the matter? You seem troubled."

Zhao Gongming responded helplessly, "You know about what just happened, right?"

Yun Xiao nodded, "Yes."

Zhao Gongming said leisurely, "Some new senior and junior brothers who joined the sect were not content with their past lives in the East Sea. Now, having the fortune of joining the Jie Sect, it’s inevitable that they lose their sense of measure and form cliques to take revenge on old adversaries. The Dragon Palace of the East Sea is one of their targets for reprisal."

Yun Xiao nodded and responded, "I’ve also heard about such matters. Today, Bai Jin dealt with them sternly, which should serve as a deterrent to them."

Zhao Gongming picked up his wine cup and drank the strong liquor in one gulp, hesitating before asking, "Junior Sister, have we grown too close to Senior Brother Bai Jin?"

"Why would you say that?"

"Senior Brother Bai Jin is so resolute in his actions, readily expelling people from the sect without a trace of sympathy. I’m afraid it might breed resentment among our fellow disciples and we too might get entangled."

Yun Xiao shook her head and said, "Those who cultivate the Tao should prioritize their true nature. Brother, you’re worrying too much."

"It’s not that I’m worrying too much, I’m concerned for your safety."

"Big brother, if you were the Outer Disciple Leader, what would you do?"

Zhao Gongming hesitated before saying, "I would unite the senior and junior brothers, encouraging them to live in harmony, then subtly guide and educate them."

"Big brother!"

"Sister!"

Two voices called out from outside.

Yun Xiao and Zhao Gongming both turned their heads to look, seeing two figures floating towards them, none other than Qiong Xiao and Bixiao, the junior sisters.

Qiong Xiao and Bixiao arrived in front of them, expressions filled with joy.

Yun Xiao asked with a light laugh, "With expressions like yours, it seems there’s some good news?"

Bixiao said excitedly, "Big brother, we’ve just caught wind of something on Duobao Island."

Qiong Xiao hastily called out, "Let me tell it!"

Bixiao hurriedly added, "Senior Brother Bai Jin and Master have proposed for you to be the Outer Disciple Leader."

Qiong Xiao cast a resentful look at Bixiao, a silent protest that it was agreed she would tell the news.

"What?" Zhao Gongming stood up abruptly, his expression one of shock.

Yun Xiao was also momentarily stunned. Why would Senior Brother Bai Jin recommend big brother to be the Outer Disciple Leader?

Qiong Xiao quickly said, "It was Senior Brother Duobao himself who said it. He mentioned that Senior Brother Bai Jin spoke highly of you in front of Master, praising how you handle matters with propriety, humility, and respect, a rare peerless talent suitable to be the Jie Sect Outer Disciple Leader. Now, the outer disciples on Duobao Island are all talking about it."

Bixiao chimed in immediately, "However, Master has not yet agreed. But I think Senior Brother Bai Jin has a good eye, recognizing big brother’s exceptional qualities straight away," her eyes gleaming with pride.

Zhao Gongming felt a surge of warmth in his heart, a strong sense of guilt washing over him. Here I was speaking of Senior Brother Bai Jin’s shortcomings and even considering distancing myself, while he was making good remarks about me in front of our Master, even contemplating offering me the position of Outer Disciple Leader. Compared to him, I now seem like a petty and narrow-minded person.

The Primordial Spirit of Zhao Gongming heated up, and he strode towards the outside.

Yun Xiao stood up and asked, "Big brother, where are you going?"

"I’m going to find Senior Brother, who has a heart as vast as the boundless sky and the immense sea, commanding respect. Senior Brother Bai Jin has treated me with sincerity, and I shall reciprocate equally." Zhao Gongming walked towards the distance, his figure flashing and disappearing from sight.

Qiong Xiao and Bixiao were both puzzled. Was the big brother overly elated?

Yun Xiao turned her head to look at Qiong Xiao and Bixiao, a thought flashing through her mind. Why would Senior Brother Duobao spread this news? Given his stance, he should have kept it a secret. Announcing it like this has put the big brother squarely on Bai Jin’s side, which doesn’t seem to benefit him at all.

No, there’s a benefit to it. Bai Jin is highly favored by Master, and Duobao cannot strike against him openly. Now the outer disciples see big brother as part of Bai Jin’s trusted circle. If Duobao were to suddenly suppress the big brother in the next step, he could undermine Bai Jin’s prestige while also presenting a resolution to the expelling of those outer disciples, thus winning over the hearts of the external disciples.
