Chapter 390: The revised plan was finally approved.
"These old fogies, do they really think they can stop me with such a small trick?" I sneered, rubbing my sore eyes, but my pen never stopped moving.
tamper?
Ha, I have a backup!
Fairy Mingyue sat opposite me, her slender fingers flying as she reorganized and categorized the scattered documents.
Moonlight streamed through the window and fell upon her, as if bathing her in a sacred glow.
Her delicate brows were slightly furrowed, her expression focused, and she would occasionally glance up at me, her eyes filled with determination and encouragement.
"Xiao Yao, thank you for your hard work," she said softly, her voice as melodious as a mountain stream.
"What's so hard about it? It's nothing compared to the future of the cultivation world!" I waved my hand with a carefree attitude, even I admired my own nonchalant demeanor.
Senior Brother Lin was also busy at work. While organizing the materials, he excitedly said, "If we succeed this time, we will be great heroes of the Immortal Sect!" He was so excited that his face turned red, like a child waiting for praise.
The room was filled with a faint scent of ink, which mixed with the different scents on the three of us, creating a peculiar atmosphere that was both tense and exciting!
We felt as if we were on a battlefield, racing against time and fighting against those die-hards!
For three days and three nights, we barely slept, working tirelessly and forgetting to eat or sleep.
I felt my body had reached its limit, my eyelids were as heavy as if they were filled with lead, but my mind was unusually excited.
Only one thought occupied my mind: I must get this done!
"Xiao Yao, do you think this is okay?" Fairy Mingyue pointed to the revised plan, her eyes showing a hint of weariness, but even more so, anticipation.
I took the proposal and carefully read through it, feeling an indescribable surge of excitement.
"Perfect! Absolutely perfect!" I couldn't help but exclaim loudly, my voice echoing in the room.
However, our actions did not escape Elder Xuanfeng's shrewd eyes.
He was like a treacherous viper, lurking in the shadows, waiting for his chance to strike.
"Hmph, trying to turn the world upside down? Not so easy!" Elder Xuanfeng's sinister voice was like a chilling wind from hell, sending shivers down one's spine.
He conspired with Junior Sister Chu to spread rumors that our reform plan would destabilize the Immortal Sect and bring enormous risks.
When I heard these rumors, I was so angry I almost laughed.
These people will stop at nothing to protect their own interests!
Deacon Wu was summoned for questioning by the higher-ups of the Immortal Sect. He stood there, like a trembling little rabbit, caught in a dilemma.
I could clearly sense his inner struggle; the fine beads of sweat on his forehead glistened in the dim light.
I can understand his pressure; after all, taking sides is a very risky thing.
"Deacon Wu, what do you think of Xiao Yao's proposed reform plan?" The senior elder's authoritative voice carried a sense of oppression, making the air seem to freeze.
Deacon Wu took a deep breath and looked firmly ahead.
"I believe that Xiao Yao's plan, though bold, is very feasible. We cannot be complacent; we must make changes to make the Immortal Sect even stronger!"
Hiding in the shadows, I heard Deacon Wu's reply and couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety for him.
He finally chose to stand by my side, and that courage moved me.
The higher-ups of the Immortal Sect were embroiled in a heated discussion, with voices of support and opposition intertwined, creating an atmosphere as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, ready to snap at any moment.
I straightened my clothes, pushed open the door, and strode confidently toward the high-level conference hall… “Elders, please hear me out…” My voice echoed in the conference hall.
"Elders, please listen to me..." My voice, though slightly trembling, was surprisingly clear and powerful in the spacious conference hall, even carrying an undeniable firmness.
I took a deep breath and tried to appear more confident, after all, I was facing a group of old-timers from the Immortal Sect.
Sunlight streamed in through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the entire conference hall with a golden glow and making the wrinkles on the elders' faces even more pronounced.
I could feel their gazes, sharp as knives, scrutinizing me as if trying to see through everything about me.
Honestly, the pressure is immense!
I spread the revised and improved plan out on the huge round table. It was covered with dense text and diagrams, all the result of our hard work over three days and three nights.
I pointed to one of the spots and began to explain: "According to the ancient texts I found in the ruins, this new cultivation method can increase the efficiency of spiritual energy absorption by 30%..."
My voice echoed in the conference room, accompanied by the rustling sound of my fingers moving across the plan.
I try to use simple and clear language to explain complex theories, and occasionally I will intersperse some short stories to make the atmosphere less serious.
After all, listening to these elders preach so earnestly would probably make them want to doze off.
Elder Xuanfeng snorted coldly, interrupting me: "Xiao Yao, what you're saying is nothing but empty talk! Who knows if this ancient book is real? What if it's fake? Wouldn't that mislead the entire immortal sect?" His sarcastic tone made me want to rush up and punch him.
I suppressed my anger and smiled slightly: "Elder, you are mistaken. I have already asked Fairy Mingyue to verify the authenticity of this ancient book, and I have also personally tested it, with remarkable results. If you don't believe me, Elder, you can try it yourself." I deliberately emphasized the words "try it yourself," carrying a hint of provocation.
Elder Xuanfeng's expression changed. Of course, he dared not try it, because he knew in his heart that my plan was truly feasible.
He just didn't want me to succeed, and he didn't want the Immortal Sect to change, because he was afraid that change would threaten his position.
I continued explaining, my voice growing louder and more confident.
I will combine the knowledge I gained from the ruins with the actual situation of the Immortal Sect to explain in detail the benefits and feasibility of the reform plan.
I felt as if I had transformed into a passionate speaker, using my words and enthusiasm to inspire everyone present.
I could sense that the atmosphere in the conference room was undergoing a subtle change.
Some elders who had initially opposed my proposal began to seriously consider it; some elders who had remained neutral began to look at me with approval.
Even the usually taciturn sect leader nodded slightly in approval.
Finally, when I finished speaking the last word, the entire conference room fell silent.
This silence is not an awkward silence, but a quiet filled with anticipation.
The sect leader broke the silence, speaking slowly: "Xiao Yao, we have carefully considered your proposal. We have decided to approve it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire conference hall erupted in cheers!
The elders who supported the change applauded, their faces beaming with excitement; even Deacon Wu was moved to tears.
I breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling as if a huge weight had finally been lifted from my heart.
I know we have won this battle!
Over the next few days, we began to implement the change plan in earnest.
Senior Brother Lin and Fairy Mingyue were so busy they barely had time to breathe, but their faces were always beaming with excited smiles.
Watching them busy at work, I felt incredibly gratified.
However, just as we were basking in joy, news broke the peace of the Immortal Sect.
I was discussing the next steps with my senior brother Lin when suddenly, a paper crane flew in and landed in my hand.
I opened the paper crane, and the contents on it made my face change drastically.
“Some forces in the Immortal Alliance…are dissatisfied with the changes in the Immortal Sect…” I muttered to myself, the paper crane in my hand feeling as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Senior Brother Lin noticed my unusual behavior and asked with concern, "Xiao Yao, what's wrong? What happened?"
I raised my head, looked at Senior Brother Lin, and said, word by word, "The Immortal Alliance is going to interfere with us..." My voice was terrifyingly low.
My gaze fell on the window, where dark clouds gathered and thunder rumbled, as if foreshadowing an impending storm...
