Hidden Master: starting by canceling ten marriage proposals

Yin Tian naturally also noticed the gazes of the people around him.

Based on Yin Tian's usual temperament, he probably would have taken the main seat directly.

But in this organization, since it was established by his master, the only one qualified to sit there was the master himself.

Therefore, Yin Tian chose another empty table.

What he didn't expect was that, even when he sat elsewhere, people still looked at him in the same way.

With a puzzled expression, he turned his head to look at Li Chang standing behind him.

"According to the old master's rules, the civil officials sit on the left, the martial artists on the right."

Li Chang spoke softly to Yin Tian, "You are now the person in charge of Know-It-All, so you belong to the civil side and should sit on the left, but you sat on the right."

"Tsk, Li Chang."

A burly man glanced at Yin Tian and then at Li Chang, "Is this your Know-It-All's person in charge? He doesn't seem to understand the rules at all."

"Exactly, that seat is reserved for the Lord of the Shadow Hall. He dares to sit there?"

"The people from Shadow Hall are all madmen, and the Lord of the Shadow Hall is the maddest of them all. Kid, let me advise you, you'd better go sit over there or, if the Lord of the Shadow Hall sees you, he won't care who you are."

Hearing the crowd's comments, Yin Tian's brows furrowed, "So you have seen this Lord of the Shadow Hall?"

"Heh..."

Someone let out a cold laugh, "Shadow Hall is a group of cruel madmen, so how could the one who becomes their lord be anything but vicious?"

"In my opinion, that Lord of the Shadow Hall could probably match that Madman Qiu over there."

Another person said with a chuckle.

Yin Tian immediately looked towards the person the crowd referred to as Madman Qiu.

Madman Qiu, not angered by the title, even showed a grin to Yin Tian when he saw him looking.

His missing teeth and face full of scar tissue made for an exceptionally sinister and ferocious appearance.

"Madman Qiu."

Li Chang leaned in slightly, whispering in Yin Tian's ear, "He's the head of the Inquiry Hall."

"Inquiry Hall?"

"It's an interrogation department within the organization, specifically responsible for interrogating those who defect or those who know secrets but don't give satisfactory answers."

"I see."

Yin Tian nodded slightly.

Seeing Yin Tian casually chatting with Li Chang, paying no mind to their words, the crowd's expressions turned sour.

"I thought someone who could climb to the position of head of Know-It-All would be extraordinary, but it turns out he's just a greenhorn."

One person mocked Yin Tian coldly, "Li Chang, from what I see, maybe it's better if you continue leading Know-It-All. Weren't you doing well before? Why yield the position to someone else?"

Li Chang, however, turned a deaf ear to those words, as if he hadn't heard them at all.

When the speaker was ignored again, his face grew extremely sullen.

He issued a heavy snort to express his dissatisfaction.

Everyone fell silent, waiting expectantly.

After a while, someone grew restless.

"What's going on here? The person in charge from the World Commerce Association, the Lord of the Shadow Hall, the people from War Department, why haven't they come?"

The person grumbled, a look of discontent on his face, "One by one, do they really see themselves as the masters of the organization?"

Just then, heavy footsteps echoed.

Instinctively, everyone looked towards the door, and then they saw a man over two meters tall, with a body as sturdy as a tower, walking in.

The man who had been speaking shrank his neck, a trace of fear appearing on his face.

"Just now, I thought I heard someone speaking ill of me behind my back."

The man's voice was deep and muffled, very dull.

Upon hearing the man's words, none of the people present responded.

Yet the man walked straight towards the one who had spoken, looking down at him from above, "The words just now, they were yours, weren't they?"

The man swallowed a gulp of saliva and, looking up at the imposing figure like a mountain, he appeared nervous.

But he was still one of the heads of the organization and thus stood his ground, "So what if I said it? You were late, don't you think you are in the wrong?"

A vicious grin spread across the man's face.

Without wasting words, he reached out with a big hand, grabbed the man's head, and lifted him straight off the chair.

No matter how the man struggled, he couldn't break free!

"Xu Chong! Have you lost your mind?"

Someone yelled, "How dare you lay hands on a head of another department?!"

"Put him down! Do you want to be seen as a traitor?"

"Audacious!"

The other heads shouted angrily.

But Xu Chong continued as if he was deaf to their admonishments, gripping the man by the head.

The head that felt so firm was incredibly fragile in his hands, as if it could be crushed at any moment.

Just then,

A hoarse voice sounded,

"Xu Chong, I'm giving you one last chance."

"Let go."
