“The current situation is a little delicate. It’s not good to make a big fuss,” Kong Shenglin said calmly.

Considering the situation at the board meeting, Kong Shu thought for a while and nodded.” It’s true that we can’t flip the table yet. It’s not that time yet. But if we’re just trying to push a pawn across the river and test the waters, I don’t think it’ll be a big problem.”

Kong Shenglin did not speak.

Kong Shu immediately understood that his father had tacitly agreed. He stood up and said,” Don’t worry, Father. I will know my limits.”

Coming out of the study, Kong Shu immediately summoned his aides and sent out an invitation.

He went to a private tea house beside the Alliance Headquarters that looked ordinary but was actually a quiet place. He waited patiently for customers.

Soon, a refined man appeared in front of him.

If Lin Yi was here, he would’ve recognized him immediately. This was Luo Xiliu, one of the big guys from the strongest faction who was still on the board of directors.

” Uncle Luo is here. I’ll be done in a moment. Please make yourself at home.”

Kong Shu did not stand up to welcome such a high and mighty man. Instead, he continued to fiddle with the tea set.

As he poured and washed the tea, the room was filled with a refreshing fragrance.

Luo Xiliu watched him fiddle with it calmly. He didn’t seem to be bothered by it at all. He sat down opposite him.” Eldest Young Master, you still have the time to invite me over for tea. I have to say, your skills are really good.”

” Uncle Luo, you must be joking. I don’t have any skills to maintain my composure. I just like to play with some boring things.”

“What do you think of Baxia, Uncle Luo?” Kong Shu asked with a smile.

Luo Xiliu’s eyes flashed, but he didn’t seem to care.” There’s nothing much to look at. Just sit and watch.”

Kong Shu glanced at him and shook his head with a smile.” The others can be indifferent, but you will definitely not.”

“What do you mean?” Luo Xiliu raised his eyebrows.

Kong Shu smiled.” You were once the high priest of the Beast God Hall on land. You also contributed a lot to the fall of the previous Beast God. I heard from my father that you benefited a lot when the previous Beast God’s divinity was lost.”

Luo Xiliu’s expression changed when he was suddenly exposed.

With the close relationship between the Divine Kingdom on land and the Divine Realm, a major event like the replacement of the Beast God naturally caused a commotion.

It was true that the core reason why the previous Beast God was ousted was because the new Beast God was too weak.

However, as the high priest of the Beast God Hall on land, he had indeed played a role in adding fuel to the fire. If it had not been for the collective rebellion of the Beast God Hall in various places, even if the previous Beast God Hall would have been defeated in the end, it would not have been defeated so quickly and so miserably.

With the death of the previous Beast God, the new Beast God was naturally the one who ate the meat. As for the High Priests of the Beast God Hall, they all more or less drank a mouthful of soup.

He, Luo Xiliu, was able to sit firmly in the position of the Nine Gremlins. This was his greatest confidence and reliance.

However, as a high priest, betraying his own god was not a glorious thing no matter how one looked at it.

Especially now that he, Luo Xiliu, had completely left the Beast God Hall, this past was a dark history that he did not want to talk about.

If it was anyone else who dared to say this to his face, Luo Xiliu would have turned hostile. However, he was facing Kong Shu, and even he could only tolerate this Eldest Young Master of the Kong family.

“My father said that Uncle Luo’s strongest ability is your unparalleled beast-taming ability,” Kong Shu continued.

” As long as there are beasts in the world, be it spirit beasts or ferocious beasts, including those legendary beasts of antiquity, there’s nothing that you can’t control, Uncle Luo.”

“It’s also because of this that the Alliance specially established the Monsters Management Bureau today. Legally, it can supervise all the Monsters that appear in the Divine Kingdom on land.”

” What’s going on?” Luo Xiliu narrowed his eyes.” The Eldest Young Master is suddenly telling me this. Could it be that he has some instructions?”

Kong Shu smiled and waved his hand.” Uncle Luo, you must be joking. You are the Nine Giants of the highest board of directors. Only you can instruct others. Who can instruct you?”

” I just saw that Baxia was so powerful, and I felt that it should be brought under the supervision of the Exotic Beast Administration.”

” Otherwise, if we let it roam freely outside and do as it pleases, the danger would be too great. It would have a huge impact on the stability and unity of the Divine Kingdom on land. This doesn’t conform to the main purpose of the existence of our Divine Academy Alliance.”

Luo Xiliu took a deep look at him and no longer concealed his covetous look. He shook his head with a bitter smile.

“Master, that Baxia is indeed a huge threat. It’s not that I don’t want to keep it under surveillance, but the problem is that Lin Yi isn’t someone to be trifled with. If I really provoke him, my little body might not be able to handle it.”

“If I really act on impulse and take action without permission, when the matter gets out of hand, I might even have to sacrifice myself.”

“It’s not easy to do a losing business.”

Logically speaking, for an expert like him who was proficient in controlling animals, the impact and temptation brought by the adult body was absolutely subversive.

As long as there was a one in ten thousand chance, he was willing to take the risk.

But the problem was that the scene of the adult body overlord taking on Kong Shenglin head-on was really hair-raising.

Even Kong Shenglin had to suffer a loss. If it was him who went into battle, even with the enhancement of the beast taming ability, the situation would definitely not be much better.

Plus, Lin Yi wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

” With your ability, Uncle Luo,” Kong Shu said with a smile,” I believe that you will be able to take that Baxia as your own if you have the chance. My father will be happy to see that happen.”

“Without Baxia, Lin Yi will be like a toothless tiger, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

Luo Xiliu was immediately tempted.

If there was anyone in the Divine Kingdom on land who could subdue an adult body, then in his opinion, that person was none other than him.

In fact, even if Kong Shu did not look for him today, he would have taken the initiative to look for Kong Shenglin.

He had no choice. Without Kong Shenglin’s support, it was impossible for him to take down the adult body with his own strength. Only with Kong Shenglin’s support could he fight for a chance.

Otherwise, no matter how envious he was, he could only choose to endure it.

“If that old man Kong is really willing to back me up, then this matter might not be impossible to try.”

But Luo Xiliu was still hesitant.” But there’s a problem. Gu Jiumu and Chu Hantian, these two big shots, have both invited Lin Yi. If they follow him, I can’t afford to offend them.”
