Chapter 340.2
Exit (2)
Immediately without waiting for others to speak, the current presiding Elder turned to Tu Xiu and asked, “Elder Tu, do you know the Chu Qing that Elder Lu mentioned?”
Tu Xiu nodded, and said in a dull tone, “I know a thing or two.”
The current presiding Elder said, “Then you might as well tell everyone, what is the character of this son?”
Tu Xiu sneered, stood up, and said in a loud voice, “This Chu Qing was originally a direct disciple of the Ziqing Holy Lord Tang Fei, and he was vigorously cultivated by Tang Fei as his successor. But this white-eyed wolf is too ambitious, not only does he not appreciate the kindness of his master, but he also colludes with outsiders. Deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors…”
Next, Tu Xiu recounted Chu Qing’s experience in recent years in detail. Although there are some exaggerated elements in it, it is generally realistic. Except for Qin Tianshu and Lu Jingyang, everyone else frowned and shook their heads secretly.
Seeing everyone’s reactions, Tu Xiu felt secretly happy. He said in a stern voice, “Everyone, just such a despicable villain, no matter how strong the pill-refining technique is, what should we do? Can we absorb such a person into the Medicine Pavilion? Won’t you worry that he will bring nothing but disaster to our Medicine Pavilion?”
Qin Tianshu said coldly, “Tu Xiu, you are clearly jealous of the virtuous and capable! Little friend Chu Qing is a normal person with a normal temperament. What’s wrong with bearing humiliation to avenge your father? Could it be that you can laugh it off when someone kills your father? Do you even want to show filial piety to each other in turn?”
Tu Xiu said angrily, “This son is ruthless and ungrateful, with a cold temperament. Since he can betray his own master, if he enters our Medicine Pavilion in the future, he can also betray our Medicine Pavilion! Qin Tianshu regards such a thing as a treasure, should we be grateful?! If you really appreciate Chu Qing so much, then you should use your own resources and contacts to support him, and don’t always rely on the Medicine Pavilion to do those wrong things you have been doing all this time!”
An Elder who supported Tu Xiu said, “I think what Elder Tu said is reasonable. Our Medicine Pavilion should first look at virtue, followed by aptitude. If there is a lack of virtue, even if this son is a genius, for me, it does more harm than good to our Medicine Pavilion.”Another Elder said, “No matter how many reasons Chu Qing has, it is an indisputable fact that he deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors. This son holds grudges but not gratitude, so he can only make friends with others who can provide him with benefits. If the benefits are exhausted, they will be thrown away.”
Speaking of this, he also said to Qin Tianshu earnestly, “Elder Qin, this Chu Qing is clearly using you, you must scrutinize the situation and pay attention to how he does things!”
Several Elders had a heated debate about Chu Qing’s character.
Qin Tianshu and Lu Jingyang insisted that Chu Qing was in the right and that qualifications and abilities were more important than character.
On the other hand, Tu Xiu held on to Chu Qing’s character, insisting that Chu Qing was essentially a despicable person, and the greater the ability of such a person, the greater the harm he could bring.
In the end, neither party could convince the other, so they decided to vote.
The result of the vote was four to two. The four Elders believed that Chu Qing was not worthy of the Medicine Pavilion, while the two Elders, Qin Tianshu and Lu Jingyang, insisted that Chu Qing would be a huge treasure.
Seeing the results of the vote come out, Qin Tianshu slapped the table and said coldly, “Everyone, we have different ways, so we should not work with each other. Since you are so short-sighted, I am sorry that I can no longer work with you. I will quit the Medicine Pavilion today, and from now on, everything I do has nothing to do with the Medicine Pavilion!”
After he finished speaking, Qin Tianshu turned around and left.
The two Elders who were on Tu Xiu’s side were actually neutrals, and their opposition to Chu Qing had nothing to do with their positions, only Chu Qing’s character and actions.
Seeing that Qin Tianshu was about to leave, the two hurriedly said, “Elder Qin, please stop! Do you really want to cut off your ties with us because of a mere Chu Qing?”
Qin Tianshu ignored their persuasions and left without another word.
Lu Jingyang stood up, looked around coldly, and said, “Everyone, the great opportunity for the Medicine Pavilion to go further was ruined by you for nothing. Since you can’t tolerate a young man with a bright future, then I can only say goodbye! From now on, I, Lu Jingyang, will no longer be a member of the Medicine Pavilion! Even if something happens, I, Lu Jingyang, will be solely responsible for it.”
In the end, Lu Jingyang also left in a huff.
The two people in the Medicine Pavilion who had always been against him chose to leave the Medicine Pavilion, which naturally made Tu Xiu overjoyed. Originally, he just wanted to deprive Qin Tianshu of his Elder status, but now this result can be said to be a pleasant surprise.
Even though his scheming is very deep, his face can’t help but show a hint of joy.
As for the other three, they were very disappointed with the result. After all, the sudden loss of two Elders, one of whom is Qin Tianshu with the highest pill refining technique, is a huge loss for the Medicine Pavilion!
But if they do it all over again, they will still make the same choice.
After Qin Tianshu and Lu Jingyang left, several people were silent for a long time, and the current presiding Elder said, “Since Qin Tianshu and Lu Jingyang have made their own choice, we can only choose to accept it. Tomorrow, I will be announced to the outside world. In addition…”
Having said that, he turned his gaze to Tu Xiu, and said, “Tu Elder, I hope you can investigate this Chu Qing and find out all his details. I would like to know what truly is the origin of this young man that led two Elders of our Medicine Pavilion to let go of everything and choose him!”
