She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement

Chapter 382: Incomparably Thick-Skinned

Sheng Xiao suddenly smiled coldly. “Don’t you think that the fire happened very coincidentally?”

Yu Huang felt a chill down her spine.

“Do you think that in order to gain the power of the Caro Clan, Caro Zhengyang deliberately set the Yu Clan on fire in order to shake off the Yu Clan? He murdered his benefactor and his wife?”

Sheng Xiao said, “I’m not the only one who thinks so. The seniors who lived in that era all think so. My great-grandfather looked down on Caro Zhengyang the most at that time. He thought that he was shady and couldn’t be befriended.”

“Actually, the descendants of the aristocratic families of that era didn’t like Caro Zhengyang, so after Caro Zhengyang went into seclusion, everyone thought that he had died.”

When she heard this, Yu Huang said, “Then no wonder he intentionally ran to the various clans to pay respects to his old friends after his closed door cultivation ended. It turns out that he wanted to boast to those people that once looked down on him.”

“Precisely.”

Caro Zhengyang and Sheng Lingfeng chatted for a while before getting up to leave. Sheng Lingfeng asked him to stay for dinner, but Caro Zhengyang refused.

Sheng Lingfeng sent Caro Zhengyang off and returned to the study. He saw Sheng Xiao helping him arrange the books in the study. Sheng Lingfeng asked him, “Why are you looking for me?”

Sheng Xiao placed the book neatly on the shelf and asked without turning around, “What did Caro Zhengyang say to you?”

Sheng Lingfeng said angrily, “That old man hopes that I can propose to elect a new Elder in the meeting tomorrow. He wants to be the vice president of the alliance.”

“You agreed?”

Sheng Lingfeng said in frustration, “With his strength as a Prime Emperor, can I refuse?”

Could he refuse?

He couldn’t.

The next day, the Beast Tamer Alliance would be held on time at the capital’s Presidents. All the big shots of the cultivation world on the Holy Spirit Continent gathered at the capital’s Presidents building.

The beastmen, elves, merfolk, dwarves, and humans were all gathered in a hall. There were all kinds of people in the noisy hall.

At the meeting, they discussed the divine demon legislation for a long time. In the end, they decided to remove the divine demon from the demonic beast world and put them in the human domain.

After the Divine Demon Legislation was passed, a few members of the alliance took the initiative to elect a new Elder.

A senior member raised the spokesperson card in his hand and stood up. He said, “Recently, the cultivation world has been in turmoil. Saint Xuan Ye’s true identity has been exposed. It was really unexpected. Fortunately, the side of justice has the addition of a Prime Emperor powerhouse.”

At this point, the old member looked at the representative of the Caro Clan.

In the past, the person sitting there was Caro Xiangfu, but today, it had become their ancestor, Caro Zhengyang.

The person continued, “Mr. Caro is a Prime Emperor powerhouse, but he is willing to be a member. This is really a waste of talent. In the cultivation world, the strong are respected. I propose that everyone vote again and choose a new President and 10 Elders!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar.

“It’s understandable to choose the Elder Seat again, but during the period when Prime Master Lingfeng was appointed as the President of the Alliance, his work had always been outstanding. There’s no need to change it, right?”

“That’s right. Although Mr. Caro is a Prime Emperor powerhouse and should be placed in an important position, Patriarch Sheng is also a Prime Master powerhouse!”

“That’s right!”

Hearing these people’s discussions, the Xuanyuan Clan representative sitting in the member’s seat raised his speech card.

The representative of the Xuanyuan Clan was their Patriarch, Xuanyuan Shen.

Seeing Xuanyuan Shen raise the card, Sheng Lingfeng nodded and said, “Grand Master Xuanyuan, please speak.”

Xuanyuan Shen stood up. He first nodded at the Beast Tamers, then looked at Sheng Lingfeng and asked, “I think that on the matter of the Blood Peacock Su Xuanye, our President has failed in his duty to supervise! We should elect a new President!”

The conference room fell silent.

Yin Mingchong raised his eyes and glanced at Xuanyuan Shen, then sneered.

Heh, what a fence-sitter!

Xuanyuan Shen was clearly enticed by Caro Zhengyang and became his lackey.

These famous families were all people who knew how to act according to the situation. With the Prime Emperor in the Caro Clan, these underlings would have to choose sides.

Clearly, Xuanyuan Shen chose to side with the Caro Clan.

However, this wasn’t strange. His third son, Xuanyuan Jing, and the Young Madam of the Sheng Clan, Yu Huang, were destined to be at odds.

In that case, it was also wise for Xuanyuan Shen to choose Caro Zhengyang as his backer.

Xuanyuan Shen continued, “Su Xuanye is a Prime Master. The Blood Peacock Organization has secretly harmed many Beast Tamers over the years. Everyone should know. As the President of the alliance, Prime Master Lingfeng allowed the Blood Peacock to do whatever it wanted. This is called failure of fulfilling his duty!”

“I suggest that the Presidents and the ten Elders be re-elected!”

Xuanyuan Shen’s voice was loud, but he didn’t dare to look Sheng Lingfeng in the eye.

Sheng Lingfeng had expected this scene, so he wasn’t surprised. He looked at Caro Zhengyang, who put on an innocent expression.

Sheng Lingfeng found it funny.

This old fellow was really ambitious.

The crowd was in an uproar. Some people thought that Sheng Lingfeng was incompetent and should step down. Others felt that Su Xuanye was too cunning regarding the Blood Peacock incident, so they didn’t blame Sheng Lingfeng.

The hall was noisy.

Liuli Xiangsi stood up and said loudly, “Grand Master Xuanyuan, you said that the President failed to fulfill his duty in the Blood Peacock incident. However, on the night that the Blood Peacock’s true colors were exposed, the President was the first person to fight the Blood Peacock!”

“Have you forgotten that the President was so injured in that battle that his beast heart was broken?! If it weren’t for Madam Sheng sacrificing herself, the President would have died long ago!”

“Even so, everyone is blaming him for not supervising well? For not doing his job well?”

Liuli Xiangsi’s words rendered everyone speechless.

“That’s right. The President had his beast heart broken in order to deal with Su Xuanye. If Mrs. Sheng hadn’t sacrificed herself to save him, the President would have died long ago. Is Xuanyuan Shen being instructed by someone to stand up and question the President?”

Hearing some people’s malicious speculations about him, Xuanyuan Shen naturally felt a little guilty.

He sneered and looked at Liuli Xiangsi while saying in a sarcastic tone, “Grand Master Liuli, it’s understandable that you are publicly defending the President. After all, everyone in the cultivation world knows about your feelings for the President!”

“What? Mrs. Sheng just died, yet you can’t wait to throw yourself at him?”

Without a word, Liuli Xiangsi threw a spirit sword at Xuanyuan Shen.

Xuanyuan Shen quickly dodged Liuli Xiangsi’s attack. He jumped away from behind the table and mocked Liuli Xiangsi with a fake smile. “What, did you get angry because I hit the nail on the head?”

Liuli Xiangsi stood on the table and scolded Xuanyuan Shen, “Xuanyuan Shen, you old ghost! Do you think that everyone in the world is as filthy as you?”

“I like Sheng Lingfeng, but I disdain being someone else’s back-burner! You’re a fence-sitter. Seeing that Mr. Caro has become Prime Emperor, you’re eager to suck up to him! I think I hit the nail on the head. You’re angry from being exposed!”

Liuli Xiangsi pointed at Caro Zhengyang and cursed, “Mr. Caro, you’re sitting here pretending to be innocent. Do you really think no one knows that the Caro Clan has secretly formed gangs and ordered others to be your lackeys and help you gain power?!”

“Others give you respect out of consideration for your strength, but I, Liuli Xiangsi, am not afraid of you! Do you really think that just because you live for a few hundred more years and become a Prime Emperor, you are invincible? I don’t know if you’re invincible or not, but you’re definitely invincibly shameless!”

Everyone was speechless.
