Tales of Demons and Gods: Gaining one pound of strength every minute

Chapter 247: Yixiaotang
into the night.

The stars are twinkling and the lights are blurry.

The Alchemist Association is as bright as day.

In the president's hall, all the elders gathered together, each of them had a frown on their face and a gloomy expression.

"I didn't expect Nie Li to be so cruel! He actually instigated his master to attack the City of Glory, causing tens of thousands of casualties."

The one who spoke was Elder Mu Yang, his old face drooped like an old Shar-Pei dog, and he was once responsible for Nie Li's alchemy tests.

Now that Nie Li had gotten into such a disaster, he and Hu Yanming, as the people who introduced Nie Li to the guild, must be to blame.

"What's the point of saying this now? Hurry up and find a way to make up for it!"

"Gu Yan, you listened to Nie Li's slander, fired Director Yang, offended Chang Ping, threatened the City Lord's Mansion, and put the association in danger. You are not worthy of being the president! I propose that Gu Yan be removed from office!"

"agree!"

"I agree!"

……

Upon hearing that the elders were going to dismiss him, Gu Yan looked ashen and felt sad.

"When I did these things, I asked for your opinions, and you didn't object, right? You all made a lot of money, and now something went wrong and I have to take the blame?"

"Touch your conscience, doesn't it hurt? If there is something wrong, we should shoulder it together. You want me to be a scapegoat? No way!"

Hu Yanming slammed the table and stood up, snorting angrily: "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Gu Yan, since you are the president, you must be prepared to take the blame for everyone."

"Otherwise, why would we noble alchemists elect you, a commoner alchemist, as our leader? Did we get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

"Besides, when you made these ridiculous decisions, I always expressed my strong opposition. Don't compare me with you!"

"Huyan Ming! How dare you say such things?!" Gu Yan also stood up from the main seat, his eyes wide open.

"If you and Mu Yang hadn't shamelessly introduced Nie Li to me, how could the association have fallen into this situation now?"

“Nie Li keeps calling you mentors. Don’t think I don’t know. You two are the ones who should bear the responsibility for the association!”

"I'll take your uncle's blame!" Hu Yanming yelled, "You didn't give me any benefits, and you still want me to take the blame for you? Go to hell! I quit. I'm done with this!"

After saying that, Huyan Ming left the president's hall angrily, like an enraged silver-haired lion king.

The elders stared at each other in amazement, and no one dared to stop it.

You know, Huyan Ming is not only an intermediate alchemy master, but also a golden warrior. He can slap them in the face with his big ass, so they dare not offend him.

So everyone turned their attention to Mu Yang, who looked easy to bully.

Like Gu Yan, he is also a powerless civilian alchemist.

Just when everyone was ready to pin the blame on Mu Yang, a green shadow flashed in from outside the hall door.

???

The elders of the Alchemist Association took a closer look and found that the person coming was Ye Shuo from the City Lord's Mansion.

This man is in charge of a secret force that punishes treacherous officials and rebels. He is the confidant of the city lord Ye Zong and has the power to execute first and report later.

What is he doing in the Alchemist Association?
Is it because of Nie Li's matter?

Ye Shuo took out a parchment scroll from his space ring, unfolded it, and read aloud:

"According to the order of the Lord City Lord, the Alchemist Association colluded with the thief Nie Li and provided him with criminal funds. The evidence is irrefutable. President Gu Yan is now dismissed from his position and the Alchemist Association is closed indefinitely."

After reading it, Ye Shuo placed the scroll on the table in front of Gu Yan.

He stood with his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "The city lord considers that you have made great contributions to the City of Glory. Your merits and demerits will be offset and I will not pursue any criminal responsibility against you."

Ye Shuo raised his right index finger and said, "I'll give you one hour to pack your things. When the time is up, the association will be immediately sealed off. Anyone who stays in the association during that time will be charged with treason."

"Remember, pack up your own personal belongings and don't have any bad ideas about the association's property. If we find that something is missing when we check the accounts, you will all be sent to the Palace of Holy Judgment for corruption!" "Former President Gu Yan, could you please hand me the account books of the Alchemist Association?" Ye Shuo smiled and hooked his index finger at Gu Yan.

"Ye Shuo!" Gu Yan's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "Do you, the City Lord's Mansion, understand the consequences of doing this? Without our Alchemist Association, who will make pills for the City of Glory in the future?"

The elders all echoed.

"If the Alchemist Association is gone, the cost of refining pills will increase dramatically, and then pills will become a luxury that only a few nobles can afford!"

"If you don't consider yourselves, you should also consider the people of the City of Glory!"

"Master Ye Shuo, we were deceived by Nie Li. We are also victims! You must investigate it clearly!"

"Shut up!" Ye Shuo shouted coldly, "Without your Alchemist Association, the people of Glory City can still have elixirs to eat, and the quality is better, and the price is only one percent of yours."

"Do you really think you are such a big shot? Do you really think that the City of Glory will survive without your Alchemist Association?"

"To tell you the truth, Lord Chang Ping has already founded a new alchemist association, called Yixiaotang. We will seal you off tonight and open it tomorrow!"

"Hurry up and get out of here. Don't delay us from cleaning for Master Chang Ping!"

tom!
After hearing Ye Shuo's words, Gu Yan's soul seemed to have left his body and he collapsed on the couch.

"how so……?"

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

He shouldn't have believed Nie Li's lies, fired Yang Xin, and made an enemy of Chang Ping.

"Damn you Nie Li, you will die a horrible death!"

puff!
Gu Yan was so angry that he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which splashed onto the desk and soaked the golden imperial edict.

"President? What's wrong with you?"

"Gu Yan, you must not die!"

"Who has the quick-acting Nine Revolutions Pill? Come and save him!"

……

The next day.

The weather is fine and the sun is rising in the east.

clap clap clap!
A string of deafening firecrackers rang out, and Yixiaotang opened for business.

In front of the gate, people were shoulder to shoulder and the place was bustling with noise. It was very lively.

"I heard that Yixiaotang was founded by Lord Changping. I wonder how it is different from the old Alchemist Association?"

"It's using the Alchemist Association's place. It won't be the same as the Alchemist Association, asking for money?"

"It shouldn't be. Didn't they say that today is the grand opening promotion, and all customers who come to buy medicine will be given a bottle of Soul Gathering Pill for free?"

The people were talking a lot.

“Quiet down!” Ye Xiu, the “Old Goat” from the City Lord’s Mansion, stood up and roared.

The shouting was like a gust of wind, and the people instantly fell silent.

"Now, please allow Lord Chang Ping to speak a few words to everyone!"

clap clap clap!
Ye Xiu led the applause and then stepped back.

Chang Ping walked forward and looked around at the people below the stage.

"I opened Yixiaotang just to do three things!" Chang Ping raised his right index finger, middle finger and ring finger.
