Chapter 319: Rising Competitive Pressure

"Xing'er, the king summoned you, what happened?"

The high priest pulled Lou Xing aside with confusion and concern on his face.

"I made a big mistake. I abolished all my cultivation realms and was reduced to a second-class citizen..."

Lou Xing said helplessly.

"Aren't you going to abolish your cultivation and become a second-class citizen?"

The high priest felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his eyes were black, and his body was shaky.

"Father!"

Lou Xing was startled and quickly stepped forward to support the high priest.

"How, how could this happen?"

The high priest's face was pale and he still felt dizzy.

After these two major punishments, wouldn't my son be completely disabled?

As Lou Xing is about to turn sixteen, he has been planning how to pave the way for Lou Xing in the past few months.

For this reason, he has been absolutely diligent in the past few months to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.

He studied the personnel structure of the General Political Council and each branch, and the personnel structure of the Fourth Route Army.

He also studied the development direction of the Dayan Kingdom and the development direction of the four armies.

Only then did an extremely detailed route for Lou Xing's rapid rise be designed.

How to mix seniority, which merits can be picked, and which immediate bosses can be promoted and vacated at the right time, all are clearly planned.

The high priest knew very well how bad his reputation was, and if Lou Xing borrowed his power, it would inevitably be tainted by his bad reputation.

Therefore, he chose to let Lou Xing start from the bottom.

According to his plan, it would only take about ten years at most for Lou Xing to become a mid- to high-level official in the General Political Council.

Moreover, the promotion process is still down-to-earth, based on qualifications and merit, one step at a time, and no faults can be found.

What he never expected was that Lou Xinghui suddenly made a big mistake. Not only was his cultivation realm destroyed, but his status was also reduced to a second-class citizen.

All his plans and hopes came to nothing.

"Father, you won't disown me as your son because of this punishment, will you?"

Seeing that the high priest was deeply hit, Lou Xing asked cautiously, feeling a little uneasy.

"How is that possible?"

The high priest sighed and shook his head.

This adopted son was given to him by Yi Chen, and he was reminded to treat him as his own son.

At first, maybe he just wanted to fulfill Yi Chen's order.

But as time went by, he became completely accustomed to it and truly regarded Lou Xing as his own son.

After learning that Lou Xing had been severely punished, from beginning to end, he was only worried that Lou Xing's future would be ruined.

He never thought about whether he would be implicated in Lou Xing's big mistake, let alone disowning his son.

"That's good. Without the realm, it doesn't destroy the Qihai. I can continue to practice and start all over again."

Lou Xing felt relieved and said confidently, "As for the status of a second-class citizen, as long as you make meritorious service, you can be promoted to a first-class citizen again."

"It's not as simple as you think. Your strength is completely destroyed and you don't have any official position. How can you use it to make meritorious deeds? Moreover, it is still a great meritorious service."

The high priest shook his head repeatedly.

He knew very well about second-class citizens.

It was enacted by the General Political Council to protect those intelligent and ferocious beasts.

But at the same time of protection, in order to distinguish the status of humans and ferocious beasts, extremely high difficulty of promotion was set.

He still remembers that there was a rare harmony in the General Political Council at that time.

He likes a powerful position, and naturally hopes that the hierarchy in the Great Yan Kingdom will be as strict as possible. Therefore, his attitude at the time was that the harder it would be for second-class citizens to be promoted, the better.

What he didn't expect was that the six vice-presidents not only did not oppose him, but also did not fight openly or secretly among themselves. They also felt that the harder it was for second-class civilians to be promoted, the better.

The high priest still hasn't figured out what happened.

The fact is that the six vice-presidents are all from the Human Federation and have a clearer racial stance than the natives of the exiled planet.

They also do not hope that there are a large number of intelligent ferocious beasts that can obtain the same status as the human race.

The high priest sighed, he never thought that one day, the threshold he set would actually become a roadblock for his son.

As a second-class citizen, wanting to be promoted to a first-class citizen is almost the same as ordinary people wanting to obtain a title.

"No, I have to talk to the leader of the country. If the realm of strength is abolished, we can start from scratch. I have to ask him to cancel my status as a second-class citizen no matter what."

The high priest thought hard and found that there was no way for Lou Xing to get huge credit quickly. He gritted his teeth and walked towards the palace.

"etc!"

Lou Xing was startled and hurriedly stopped the high priest who looked as if he was dead.

I couldn't help but laugh and cry in my heart, and another wave of warmth surged into my heart.

The thing that his old father was most afraid of was meeting Yi Chen.

For the sake of his status as a second-class citizen, knowing that Yi Chen might be in a state of anger, he decided to come to ask for mercy, which was considered a risk.

"The king is still angry?"

The high priest was also a little frightened. Being interrupted by Lou Xing, his attitude of fighting Yi Chen for the sake of his son's future suddenly softened.

"This matter can't be changed. If it's just me, it's okay. The king may give my father face. But the problem is that everyone who goes in is the same."

Lou Xing shook his head, he didn't know whether the king was still angry or not.

But he knew very well that if the high priest really came to the door, he would definitely be kicked out.

In Yi Chen's case, his old father's reputation is actually quite high.

But no matter how generous he was, it was impossible for Yi Chen to make an exception and avoid his punishment alone.

Fuck!

The high priest widened his eyes.

Everyone is the same?

"Doesn't that mean that even Zhong Ren, Feng Yue and others have been abolished and reduced to second-class people?"

Lou Xing nodded, confirming the high priest's guess.

"The great king is here again, what did you do to make him so angry and send down such a large-scale heavenly punishment?"

The high priest was stunned and found it hard to believe that Yi Chen had severely punished even Zhong Ren, Feng Yue and other giants of the General Administrative Council.

This was completely inconsistent with Yi Chen's character.

After all, Zhong Ren and Feng Yue were both founding nobles of the Great Yan Kingdom.

In the eyes of the high priest, as long as they did not commit the serious crime of treason, Yi Chen would not deprive them of their titles.

"The reason cannot be told. Father only needs to know that the king has already given a small punishment and a big warning."

Lou Xing glanced at Zhong Ren and others who were discussing something in the distance, and pulled the high priest back.

"Let's go back first. This matter will have a great impact in the future. Because there are still many people who have been deprived of their positions. Whether it is the General Administration or the military, there will be open and secret struggles for these positions. We have to go back and discuss how to keep ourselves out of trouble and continue to maintain the status quo."

"Since there are a lot of vacancies, don't we try to support a few people to take over?"

The high priest asked curiously.

"No cliques, no power building, or the same plan as before."

Lou Xing shook his head.

He had thought it through clearly a long time ago. The high priest was incompetent, but he could still sit firmly as the president of the General Administration. It was all because of the great hard work the high priest had done in the early days of the Yanshan tribe.

As long as he didn't make a big mistake, as long as there was no major event that required the high priest to take the blame, he could continue to be the president.

What he was really worried about was Zhong Ren, Feng Yue and others, who had now completely put down their burdens and shackles and fully integrated into the Great Yan Kingdom.

When they recovered, they would definitely target the high priest in the future.

These people were arrogant and could not tolerate someone who was inferior to them.

From now on, becoming the second president of the Great Yan Kingdom and reaching the pinnacle of power in the Great Yan Kingdom would be their only goal.

Today's incident seemed to have no impact on the high priest and the four military leaders who were indigenous people.

In fact, the competition they would face in the future would increase significantly.

No matter how nostalgic Yi Chen was, he would only give preferential treatment in terms of titles and welfare.

As long as there were enough reasons and more capable people to replace them, they would still mercilessly take them down.

Lou Xing didn't want the high priest to retire early, lose his ambition and desire for power, and go to the territory to give him a bunch of brothers and sisters.
