Chapter 186: Various Human Minds

Many members of the Zhang family were naturally furious, wishing to pull Zhang Yuelu down and replace her.

It would have been fine if it was just Zhang Yuelu, but even that person from another family was so honored because of Zhang Yuelu.

How respectable.

But they had no way to object.

When Zhang Yuelu was not doing well before, the Heavenly Master did ignore her. This was not because the Heavenly Master was afraid of the power of the Zhang family, but because he was protecting Zhang Yuelu and treating her equally. Since the Heavenly Master did not show favoritism towards Zhang Yuelu, the Zhang family's big clans naturally had nothing to say, and it was impossible to openly point this out and say something about the difference between big clans and small clans in public, which would violate the principle of equality of Taoism. They could only use some means in secret, such as sending Zhang Yuelu to Beichen Hall.

But now Zhang Yuelu is doing well, and even has a lot of wings. Not to mention that she is the youngest third-grade Youyi Taoist priest, and the little head of Tiangang Hall, she has made great contributions to the Five Elements Mountain event this time. Since Qi Xuansu was directly promoted to the third-rank deputy hall master, Zhang Yuelu would not be much worse. Her ranking in Tiangang Hall moved up a few places, from the eighth to the sixth, and seven chiefs were assigned to her subordinates. It was just because of the handover between the Heavenly Master and the Earthly Master, the battle in Fenglinzhou, and the approaching Lantern Festival, just like Qi Xuansu, a general without a single pole, the details have not yet been implemented.

For the Zhang family, this position is indeed nothing, but the key is Zhang Yuelu's age. Can the deputy hall master in his twenties and the deputy hall master in his seventies be generalized? The former is expected to compete for the position of the Grand Master, and the latter is ready to retire to the mountains and forests in this position.

In this case, the Heavenly Master can naturally express his importance to Zhang Yuelu. After all, Zhang Yuelu is also his granddaughter.

If there is a person in the Zhang family who is on par with Zhang Yuelu, even if he is slightly worse, then there is also a saying. For example, Qi Xuansu was called Zhang Xuansu at this time, and he was also the direct descendant of the Zhang family. Then the Zhang family could also make a fuss, or even suppress Zhang Yuelu, but there was no such person in the Zhang family, which made the Zhang family very frustrated, and even unable to express their dissatisfaction openly.

The key is that their own people are not up to standard. Can you say that the Tianshi is biased? This is like a balance, with chips on the left and only air on the right, and then the left side is pressed to the bottom. Can you say that the balance is unfair?

The key to balance a bowl of water is to have both yin and yang sides. Now there is only one side, what is the balance.

So, every time Zhang Yuelu takes a step forward or accomplishes a big thing, the Tianshi's attitude becomes closer. It seems very utilitarian, but it is inevitable.

A big figure like the Tianshi is not worth being arrogant to a junior like Zhang Yuelu. In fact, as early as when the Tianshi personally named Zhang Yuelu, he had already expressed a certain attitude. If he didn't like Zhang Yuelu, would he name him himself? Or the name of a star. But later he chose to be tolerant and compromise with certain voices. It was not fear or weakness, but starting from the overall situation and the whole. Everything was for internal unity, stability and balance.

If the Tianshi suppressed the opposing voices, it would inevitably cause a certain amount of internal friction, and the loss would be the strength of Zhengyi Dao. In addition, the foundation of the Tianshi is in the Zhang family. If he hit his own family too hard, it would be equivalent to hitting himself and cutting off one arm. Although the Tianshi was majestic, it was not good for the overall situation, and it made Quanzhen Dao and Taiping Dao laugh. Moreover, going to this point would also make people think that the Tianshi's control was insufficient, which had a certain impact on the prestige of the Tianshi.

But tolerance could not last, and the Tianshi would not keep tolerant. The key lies in Zhang Yuelu's performance. If Zhang Yuelu is useless, then the Tianshi will give up Zhang Yuelu. Naturally, there is no tolerance, but it has reached an agreement with those voices. If Zhang Yuelu lives up to the expectations of the Tianshi, then her performance will become the fulcrum for the Tianshi to stop tolerating. If Zhang Yuelu can become a true person before the age of forty, then the Heavenly Master will not be afraid that Zhang Yuelu will not be able to control the Zhang family after a hundred years.

Qi Xuansu gradually figured out this truth and was greatly inspired. If he is in charge of a party one day, he must also change his mindset. He cannot think of suppressing things vigorously when encountering things, but must learn to unite and balance.

In this way, the various aspects of the world are reflected on the faces of many Zhang family members. They want to laugh, but they can't laugh. But when welcoming the Heavenly Master, they can't cry. Such expressions are really funny.

Qi Xuansu looked down at it, and naturally felt emotional in his heart.

As for Zhang Juqi and Tan Taiqiong, it was another situation.

Zhang Juqi was fine. He always looked calm in the face of praise or disgrace. His own realm of cultivation was not high, but he had full skills in cultivating qi.

Tan Taiqiong was both happy and unhappy.

She was naturally happy that her daughter had been valued by the Heavenly Master. This was a signal that the Heavenly Master had begun to plan for his affairs after his death, and her daughter was undoubtedly an extremely important part of it.

What made her unhappy was that Qi Xuansu came again and was also valued by the Heavenly Master. In a sense, Qi Xuansu, who was looked down upon by her, slapped her hard. Qi Xuansu stood beside the Heavenly Master, even if he said nothing, which showed that she had no ability to judge people and was blind.

This was something that Tan Taiqiong could not tolerate.

Since when, there has been such a trend in the Taoist sect, that is, there is no equality and respect between husband and wife, but it has become a woman who controls men.

The Taoist fairies have a strong control desire. They will make a big fuss if they are not satisfied. They will be furious if they don't change their shoes when entering the house. They will be furious if they drink behind their backs. They will be furious if they play Xuansheng cards or go out hunting and fishing. They must discipline their husbands to be the way they like and will not tolerate any disobedience.

Behavior habits must be controlled, hobbies and tastes must be controlled, and even thoughts must be controlled. This is something that many religions in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, have not been able to do.

The men of the Taoist sect are either like quails or like turtles. No matter whether they are right or wrong, they just bow their heads and admit their mistakes. Some people even take pride in this. Not only do they forget equality and respect, but they also think they are generous and tolerant, and say that being afraid of their wives is loving their wives. It seems that the women of the Taoist sect are all gods, and they can beat a hundred Taoist men with one punch. It can be said that: I have a punch, and the heavens are above. Taoist men just kowtow.

Because of this, when Qi Xuansu was found with the fish talisman by Zhang Yuelu, he would talk about loving his wife. However, he was indeed caught by Zhang Yuelu at that time. He was at a loss for words, and the situation was stronger than him, so he had to bow his head. It was not that he was happy to do so. He was not happy to be restrained by Zhang Yuelu in his bones, so Zhang Yuelu said that it was not like that at all.

The Taoist sect claimed to be civilized and often laughed at the barbarity of the court. The court ridiculed the Taoist sect for being full of turtles, and some of them were turtles with green hair.

Although this trend mainly spread in the lower levels of the Taoist sect, those high-level Taoist priests who held great power would naturally not be afraid of Taoist companions. Not only were they not afraid, they would also buy outer houses, hug left and right, and live the life of people in the court. This is the benefit of power. But the middle and upper levels were also somewhat affected, such as Tan Taiqiong.

Accustomed to controlling everything at home, naturally they were unwilling to admit that they were wrong, and they would not listen to other opinions.

Therefore, Tan Taiqiong would never admit that she had made a mistake, but instead thought that Qi Xuansu was treacherous. More importantly, she was keenly aware that Qi Xuansu was difficult to control.

To put it bluntly, Qi Xuansu was a thorn in the flesh. When they first met, Qi Xuansu was still a quasi-sixth-rank Taoist priest. Not only did he not have the slightest fear of a son-in-law meeting his mother-in-law, he even dared to disobey him. Now Qi Xuansu is already a third-rank deputy hall master, and his future prospects are visible to the naked eye. Then this kid will definitely not take her seriously, and it is even a matter of whether he will regard her as his mother-in-law. Don't forget that he has another mother-in-law in Yujing, Cihang Zhenren Su Yuanyi.

This kid is so treacherous, hugging Yuelu's thigh, doesn't he know how to climb up the pole and hug Su Yuanyi's thigh?

The world is so realistic, the king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose the king. If the mother-in-law has many sons-in-law, she will naturally be picky about them, which son-in-law is more capable and which son-in-law is incapable. She has a scale in her heart, and naturally prefers capable sons-in-law. The sons-in-law just have no choice. When they have a choice, they will naturally favor the mother-in-law with greater power.

The resentment in Tan Taiqiong's heart can be imagined.

Then there is Zhang Yuyue.

Zhang Yuyue was at a loss at this time.

She was not as stubborn as Tan Taiqiong. She easily recognized the fact that she and Tan Taiqiong together were not as good as Zhang Yuelu. On the other hand, it is not without reason that Zhang Yuelu can make a breakthrough, but they can't.

They tried every means to stop her at the beginning, but Zhang Yuelu was like a ghost, determined that the man would not let go. Now looking back, the facts have proved everything. Zhang Yuelu's vision is far superior to theirs. They are the ones who can't recognize the gold inlaid with jade, while Zhang Yuelu can see the jade hidden in the stone at a glance.

Is she wrong?

Because her vision is not good, she met Li Minghuang and was hurt all over.

But she had another idea.

Is Zhang Yuelu's life too good?

Born as a banished immortal, it was natural for Cihang Zhenren to accept her as a disciple. Then she participated in the first major case in Jiangnan. Cihang Zhenren naturally could not sit idly by, so she made great contributions and entered the eyes of the Earth Master, and thus began to rise to prominence. So now the Heaven Master treats her like a granddaughter. And she can find a man who has a promising future.

Why is Zhang Yuelu's life so good?

Zhang Yuyue couldn't help looking at Qi Xuansu standing next to the Heaven Master.

Will he be the second Li Minghuang?

Since the Heaven Master has come forward, such things cannot be regretted at will. Qi Xuansu will naturally not be the second Li Minghuang, and Zhang Yuelu will not be injured all over.

But why didn't the Heaven Master come forward for her at the beginning?

She is also the Heaven Master's granddaughter.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuyue couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
