"No, Lao Tzu must ask Dongfang Rui, a stinky boy, has he been eating in the Yanlong Martial Arts Academy for the past two years? How can you be so rubbish! ”

Yu Chijiang gritted his teeth in anger, clenched his big hands, and wanted to smash Dongfang Rui's face with a punch.

The reason why he was angry was not only because Dongfang Rui's defeat in this battle would make him lose face, but also because this incident was likely to become a fuse and make him fall into passivity.

In the True Dragon Gang, there are eight deputy gang leaders, and he is only one of them, not to mention that there is another gang leader above them.

Therefore, although his position of power is high, it is impossible for him to do whatever he wants.

As the top gang in the Liancang Domain, the True Dragon Gang has a big family and many members, and the interests involved are extremely complicated.

First of all, there is the issue of factions.

Each deputy gang leader is qualified to become the leader of a faction, develop his own lineage power, win over various principals, control various industries, and cultivate the power of the strong.

Among them, a very important part of cultivating the strength of the strong is the true disciple system in the gang.

Each deputy gang leader is eligible to grant a place to the True Disciples, and of course, the resources to support the True Disciples will also be provided by their own industries.

The true disciples who have been accepted in person, after entering the gang in the future, will be their own cronies, it is impossible to betray, and no other faction dares to accept them, and their talent and strength are very strong, and they are destined to be a very powerful help in the future, and they can strengthen their own faction power.

Therefore, the loss of every true disciple represents the loss of a cronies who will be very strong in the future, and it also represents the loss of the strength of one's own faction.

This is also the reason why when Jiuqiu killed Shi Huili, Yu Chijiang was angry.

Besides.

The number of true disciples is not something that can be granted at will, after all, although the resources for support are provided by the industries under their own factions, these industries are essentially the interests of the gang.

Therefore, when the performance of the true disciple is not satisfactory, it will also make people feel that the deputy gang leader who accepts the true disciple has no clear knowledge, because this investment is not cost-effective.

In the words of Ling Jiuqiu's previous life, it is the asymmetry of inputs and outputs that affects the performance of the department and reduces the company's profits.

After all, the offering of every true disciple is a huge financial burden for the gang.

Roughly estimate.

Taking Dongfang Rui as an example, he can receive ten bottles of Qi Nourishing Pill every month, and one hundred and twenty bottles of Qi Nourishing Pill per year, which is worth 120,000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to 120 million in Ling Jiuqiu's previous life.

The treatment of true disciples can generally be enjoyed for about five years, even if you don't count martial arts and other small benefits, the investment in materials alone is about 600 million.

In any big consortium in Ling Jiuqiu's previous life, spending such a huge amount of money to cultivate a top genius was also a huge financial burden.

The same is true of the gangs placed in this life.

Of course, in terms of the status of the deputy gang leader, this can only be regarded as a trivial matter, and it will definitely not bring any substantial trouble, but it is just a little unsightly.

The most critical questions are –

Among the eight deputy gang leaders, Wei Chijiang already has relatively little seniority, and his lineage strength is relatively small, and there are only three of the few true disciples under his hands who have the most potential.

One of them was Shi Huili, who had already been killed by Ling Jiuqiu in the entrance competition.

Dongfang Rui is the second.

If Dongfang Rui proves to be a big parallel import, then in the eyes of many people, I am afraid that he is not simply ignorant of people, but basically has no talent for knowing people.

Or Dongfang Rui is not a parallel import, but indeed a top-level Tianjiao, but gradually degenerated in the process of growing up in the academy.

This situation is even more terrifying, everyone will think that he, the deputy gang leader, accepts the true disciple and ignores it, leaving the other party unaware of everyone.

Let's ask, who would be willing to follow such a leader who has no power to be a subordinate, who is passive and lazy, and who has no action?

In case there is another deputy gang leader who is secretly stirring up the situation and advocating rumors, it is likely to have a relatively large negative impact on Wei Chijiang's reputation.

After taking a deep breath.

Yu Chijiang's face returned to calm.

Today, he is no longer the reckless and arrogant young man he used to be, but has learned how to restrain his edge and understand that force is not the only way to solve problems.

He began to think.

"The ranking of Yanlong Martial Arts Academy, basically there will not be much error, since Dongfang Rui is ranked ninth, even if his strength is not ranked in the top ten, it is definitely not far behind, not to mention, he also performed in front of me once a few months ago, and his strength is indeed not bad."

"Dongfang Rui itself should have no problem."

"Well, there are only two possibilities."

"The first is that he was in a problem at the time, either poisoned, injured, or tired and weak, in short, Ling Jiuqiu was just taking advantage of the danger of others, or playing some kind of insidious little trick."

"Second, Ling Jiuqiu's strength is indeed amazingly strong, and he defeated Dongfang Rui, who was in the top ten of the intermediate class, with one punch openly."

"I hope it's the former."

"Otherwise, such a genius is terrible."

Yu Chijiang sighed lightly, then called a subordinate and ordered: "Go find Dongfang Rui, a true disciple, and ask him to come to see me as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!"

The subordinate was ordered to retreat.

……

The aftermath of this battle was bigger than Jiuqiu imagined.

Not only the people in Tongyuan City, but also the high-level leaders of the academy, the high-level of the True Dragon Gang, and other major forces began to pay attention.

Many Tianjiao, who are also students in the intermediate class with Dongfang Rui, feel like a man in the public opinion.

After all, everyone was suspecting that there was a shady scene in the ranking competition, and some people even said that the intermediate class of Yanlong Martial Arts Academy had a relationship with it, and they stayed in it because of their background.

Although these words are all naming Dongfang Rui, they are both students in the intermediate class, and they feel that they are also affected by rumors.

Because everyone will naturally associate - there is a shady ranking match, is it that other people's rankings are also fake? Dongfang Rui is a related household, so will there be other related households?

"Dongfang Rui, this bastard, has lost the face of the intermediate class and affected all of us."

"When he recovers, I must teach him a hard lesson!"

"I wonder if someone took his favor to get him the ninth place? Otherwise, if you really have the strength of the ninth seat, how can you be easily crushed by the juniors of the junior class? ”

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately couldn't sit still, and immediately stood up and asked:

"Do you mean, Qian Lun and I received the benefits of Dongfang Rui?"

"I didn't say that, if you want to take a seat yourself, then I can't help it."

"Humph! Every time I challenge Dongfang Rui, it's basically us people, you say that someone has received benefits, in addition to us, who else can you refer to? ”

"I'm just casually speculating, and I don't mean anything about you."
