After I Became a Divine Monarch, the Sect Wants Me to Marry In-Chapter 324 - 251: You’re Telling Me How to Do My Job?

"What are you saying?"

In the great hall, Qu Youdao looked at the newcomers and asked.

"We hope fellow daoist could speed up the process," one middle-aged man spoke up.

Hearing this, Qu Youdao leaned back, his lips curling into a slight, disdainful smile: "Are you teaching me how to do my job?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Situ Baichuan below was taken aback.

Yan Ruxue was also quite surprised.

Not just them, the two envoys from the Royal Family were also somewhat perplexed.

He remembered that the Cangmu Sect was supposed to be easy to talk to.

Why did it now seem so domineering?

Was their tone bad?

It was a bit off; it seemed they needed to be more careful.

However, before they could reflect for long, Qu Youdao suddenly reverted to normal, saying: "My apologies, got too into the role.

Just became a part of the Demon Sect, got used to the Demon Sect’s way of doing things.

Don’t mind me.

After all, it was just some time ago that we captured those famous figures from the Righteous Path.

It’s not that we’ve lost our minds; it’s just that since we’ve become the Demon Sect, we naturally can’t lose the demeanor of the Demon Sect.

Oh, right."

With that, Qu Youdao looked at the two people with a beaming smile: "What did you two say just now? I didn’t catch it clearly."

In an instant, the two men felt an overwhelming pressure.

The person in front of them kept saying it was all a joke, but it seemed that these were the jokes.

What was said just now was the sincere truth.

They lowered their heads, not daring to be presumptuous.

"Qu Peak Master, we were sent here under orders because we think that since your sect has become the Demon Sect, it is indeed appropriate to act more domineeringly.

Thus, accelerating the progress should be both reasonable and appropriate.

Besides, this is a gift from our master to all the Peak Masters."

The middle-aged man spoke as he handed over a box.

Qu Youdao received the box from the air and inspected it.

It was a golden bead.

Inside, a golden dragon was swimming.

"A strand of divine essence from the Royal Family’s Golden Dragon?" Qu Youdao silently put away the bead and said:

"You must be joking, fellow daoist. Please, have a seat.

I believe the Demon Sect indeed doesn’t need to act timidly, so let’s try to speed up the pace.

We need a reason.

Later on, we might need the Royal Family’s cooperation.

Of course, it will not harm your interests.

Nor will it raise any alarm."

"That’s good to hear. Then we can give a proper account when we return," the middle-aged man said with a laugh.

"Just the two of you..." Qu Youdao was about to continue speaking.

They immediately said: "We won’t stay any longer, Qu Peak Master has many duties, and we fear you have other matters to attend to."

With those words, the two people quickly departed.

As if they were afraid they wouldn’t be able to leave.

After they left, Qu Youdao took out the Golden Dragon Divine Essence and said:

"The Royal Family is really generous to send something like this. Did they secretly test that Commandery Princess’s talent?

Do they need to be so tense?

Even if her talent is outstanding, it wouldn’t be enough to threaten the marriage alliance between the Royal Family and the Dao Sect."

"Who knows? Maybe it’s out of caution? Better to nip it in the bud.

After all, the status difference between Commandery Princess and Princess is vast.

Once the Commandery Princess gets married, she might eventually become a Princess," Yan Ruxue said with a laugh.

"What should we do then?" Situ Baichuan asked, pausing before looking at Qu Youdao: "You were rather impolite just now; if the Sect Master knew, I’m afraid you’d get a lecture."

"The Sect Master has become senile, really letting every Tom, Dick, and Harry walk all over us," Qu Youdao spoke with a smile: "But now that we’re a part of the Demon Sect, we may actually be able to hold our ground.

These Tom, Dicks, and Harrys should get a taste."

"Just afraid they won’t strike," Situ Baichuan paused before continuing: "What if the Sect Master advocates peace?"

Qu Youdao smiled and said: "What else can we do? Naturally, we advocate peace, letting those below continue to suffer. We can’t disobey the Sect Master, can we?

I don’t have the courage, but I hope you do."

"Let’s talk about the marriage alliance," Situ Baichuan had no intention of discussing the disobedience toward the Sect Master.

"Since they want it fast, let’s make it fast. Why we hasten is not for us to question, and as to how fast that should be, it’s hard to say.

It should take a few years," Qu Youdao said looking at the two people below:

"Given that we’ve become a part of the Demon Sect, isn’t it time to reevaluate our previous situation?

Change the Outer Peaks a bit, throw those people over there, and redistribute people who clash with other sects. Give the unimportant ones to them.

Then let them contact other sects.

Let’s see who gets the most benefit.

Use the benefit to dictate the winners, how about that?"

"Pick the top three?" Yan Ruxue inquired.

"Right, select the top three, and disregard appearance, cultivation, or merit.

Of course, having those is better," Qu Youdao said.

"Then wouldn’t I lose my advantage?" Situ Baichuan frowned.

"It’s fair. How can the others compete with such a high merit?" Qu Youdao chuckled: "Why bother selecting based on merit? Why not select by appearance?"

Situ Baichuan fell silent and said no more.

"Where do we get prisoners from other sects then?" Yan Ruxue asked.

"Capture them when there’s a chance, create opportunities if there aren’t. We’re now a Demon Sect, think more broadly.

There will definitely be opportunities. I’ve heard that the Immortal Sects are planning to join forces against us soon, isn’t that an excellent opportunity?

Throw them the non-essentials, distribute evenly," Qu Youdao said earnestly:

"Also, only record the resources they submit, not the ones they skim off for themselves. freewebnoveℓ.com

We’ll give them the opportunity to skim, and whatever they skim is theirs.

After all, we’re the ones who involved them.

We shouldn’t be too stingy.

There won’t be such an opportunity in the future, hint to them while arranging this.

Tell them no one will check; it’s all up to them to decide.

Leave the details for the people from the Merit Hall to arrange."

...

Gu An breathed a sigh of relief.

With the departure of the people from the Law Enforcement Hall, most likely there would be no issues for him.
