674: Chapter 674 Q&A

Facing the aggressiveness of Heavenly Venerable Mingxin,

Xiao Weiqing's mind raced quickly, and he knew that he might have been dragged into an event beyond his ability to choose.

Before Xiao Weiqing could figure out how to reply,

Heavenly Venerable Mingxin spoke again:

"Members of the Seventh Heaven, as long as they do not fall, will achieve at least the first stage of the Undying Realm in the future, or even become a Heavenly Venerable and a leader of the Human Race."

"Therefore, the assessment has always been very strict, and the quota is small, maintaining around 30 people in recent years."

"It is not that there cannot be more, but most members of the Sixth Heaven do not meet the requirements, not just because of strength issues, but also in other aspects, such as Heart-Nature, decision-making, and execution capabilities."

"This is the true meaning of the existence of the assessment."

"Xiao Weiqing suspended the production of no. 4 longevity potion and no. 3 without communicating with the Holy Land, which shows a problem with his decision-making ability. If it were a war of civilizations, a wrong decision on the battlefield could lead to the defeat of a war."

"Therefore, it is completely unproblematic for the Undying Realm deacon to oppose Xiao Weiqing entering the Seventh Heaven."

At this moment,

Heavenly Venerable Hanming said: "Xiao Weiqing, do you have anything to say?"

Xiao Weiqing thought for a few seconds, organized his words, and said:

"Respected Heavenly Venerables, this student did not suspend production without authorization."

"What is considered without authorization?"

"Acting on one's own beyond the scope of authority is called acting without authorization."

"During the task assessment, I went to serve as a special envoy at the Longevity Potion Company, and suspending the production of no. 3 and no. 4 longevity potions was entirely within my authority."

"Moreover, at that time, the riot of the Resistance Army caused 30,000 copies of no. 4 longevity potion and one-third of the formula to go missing. The senior management of the Longevity Potion Company committed serious dereliction of duty, and I believe they can no longer be allowed to continue managing the Longevity Potion Company, which is why I made this decision."

"Furthermore."

"Originally, this batch of no. 4 longevity potion was planned to produce 90,000 copies, and 30,000 copies were destroyed due to the riot. If production is not suspended, the Longevity Potion Company will surely be eager to make up for these 30,000 copies of no. 4 longevity potion. If so, they can only continue to oppress the indi people on Longevity Planet No. 1."

"If so, I am afraid it will cause even greater turmoil."

Xiao Weiqing said slowly, neither humble nor pushy.

Heavenly Venerable Sugu said: "Xiao Weiqing, out of the 90,000 copies of no. 4 longevity potion, 30,000 copies were destroyed. Why do you say that the Longevity Potion Company will definitely be eager to fill this loophole?"

Xiao Weiqing was slightly startled in his heart, but remained calm. He understood a little that the vast majority of the Heavenly Venerables today were just here to make up the numbers or watch the fun.

This Heavenly Venerable Sugu was obviously not one of them. He had spoken up for him from the very beginning, but this was only a superficial appearance.

Unsurprisingly, this was now a game between Heavenly Venerable Sugu and Heavenly Venerable Mingxin. As for whether Heavenly Venerable Sugu was really speaking up for him, Xiao Weiqing dared not be sure yet.

However, one thing was certain.

Heavenly Venerable Sugu asking this must want Xiao Weiqing to say what he wanted to hear.

But could Xiao Weiqing say it?

Say that the 30,000 copies of no. 4 longevity potion were a tribute to the Heavenly Venerables of the Holy Land?

Say that there was something shady about the whereabouts of every single one of those 60,000 copies of no. 4 longevity potion?

No.

To say it would be courting death.

Some things could be done but not spoken of, let alone spoken of in such a situation.

Besides, up to this point, if someone said the Holy Land did not know, Xiao Weiqing would not believe it even if beaten to death.

Even so, Xiao Weiqing still could not say it, at least not from his own mouth.

Thinking of this,

Xiao Weiqing could only lower his head and say:

"Reporting to Heavenly Venerable, this student does not know."

"You do not know?"

Heavenly Venerable Sugu said playfully: "Xiao Weiqing, you were the one who said that the Longevity Potion Company is eager to make up the 30,000 copies of no. 4 longevity potion, yet now you say you do not know the reason?"

"Isn't this contradictory?"

Xiao Weiqing calmly said: "Reporting to Heavenly Venerable, this is not contradictory. The outbreak of the Resistance Army incident on Longevity Planet No. 1 was sudden. Upon completing the delivery of the first batch of no. 4 longevity potion, I immediately rushed back to the Holy Land and have not had time to investigate the matter yet."

"However, various signs indicate that what I said is true, especially Jiuxin, the security leader of the Longevity Potion Company. His behavior was quite abnormal, and he even proposed keeping 30,000 copies of no. 4 longevity potion and only delivering half of the no. 4 longevity potion."

"It is just that this proposal was rejected by Manager Lie Ge of the Longevity Potion Company."

"The Holy Land can send people to interrogate him, and you will know upon investigation."

Xiao Weiqing decisively shifted the trouble onto others.

"Oh?"

Heavenly Venerable Sugu seemed a bit surprised.

"A mere Dominator Realm cultivator actually has such big guts? It seems we need to investigate."

"Heavenly Venerable Mingxin, what do you think?"

"Heavenly Venerable Sugu, such matters are not managed by you or me. Why do you ask me what I mean?" Heavenly Venerable Mingxin said indifferently.

Heavenly Venerable Sugu laughed heartily, "Just asking casually. I see that none of the other Heavenly Venerables are expressing their opinions, and only you and I are speaking. If I do not ask you, who should I ask?"

"The Holy Land has its own operating rules, and there are people to handle these matters. Or is it that Heavenly Venerable Sugu has time and is willing to go investigate personally?"

There was mockery in Heavenly Venerable Mingxin's tone.

Heavenly Venerable Sugu heard that Heavenly Venerable Mingxin was mocking him. How could a dignified Heavenly Venerable deliberately go investigate such trivial matters? It is not like he had nothing better to do.

"Do not, let us forget it. If something really comes out of the investigation, it would not be good to damage everyone's harmony."

Heavenly Venerable Sugu said, obviously implying something else.

Xiao Weiqing lowered his head, listening to the two Heavenly Venerables, who were playing dumb while knowing the truth, clash with each other.

"Enough, someone will naturally investigate this matter."

Above the pyramid, the Heavenly Venerable on the throne spoke, stopping Heavenly Venerable Sugu and Heavenly Venerable Mingxin.

Apparently,

there should be a follow-up to this matter, and Xiao Weiqing began to look forward to how the Holy Land would handle it.

Punish a Heavenly Venerable?

Xiao Weiqing thought not.

Indeed, they would not.

Judging by Heavenly Venerable Mingxin's expressionless look, Xiao Weiqing believed that even if the Longevity Potion Company and the indi people all disappeared, Heavenly Venerable Mingxin would not receive any punishment.

If it were an ordinary Undying Realm cultivator, they might not be able to withstand it, given the huge numbers.

But as for a Heavenly Venerable, probably not. At most a warning, or perhaps not even a warning.

Because everyone knows full well that since the Holy Land has intervened, Heavenly Venerable Mingxin and the others can only abandon the Longevity Potion Company, and they certainly will not go against the Face of the Holy Land.

"Since that is the case, let us end this matter here."

Heavenly Venerable Hanming said.

"Regarding Xiao Weiqing entering the Seventh Heaven..."

"Wait."

Heavenly Venerable Mingxin interrupted.

Xiao Weiqing's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition. Heavenly Venerable Mingxin could not be so petty as to target a mere planet master like him, right?

Everything he did was also out of necessity. Had he known this earlier, he would have ten thousand times not wanted to get involved.

Heavenly Venerable Hanming frowned, "What does Heavenly Venerable Mingxin have to say?"

Heavenly Venerable Mingxin said: "Nothing much. I just want to ask, Xiao Weiqing, when you suspended the production of no. 3 and no. 4 longevity potions, did you think about how long the suspension would last, or when production would resume?"

Following Heavenly Venerable Mingxin's question, the scene suddenly fell silent.

So quiet it was somewhat eerie.

Xiao Weiqing knew that this question must be answered, and all the Heavenly Venerables were waiting for his reply.

But how to answer was the key.

This put Xiao Weiqing in a difficult position.
