Chapter 12430

As for Li Tianguo and other insiders, they were astonished, but at the same time, they couldn't hide their excitement.

Could it be that he has really arrived?

Zhang Fengxiao looked at Lin Yi: "As the mighty Emperor of Termination, there's no need for you to hide anything, is there?"

This one action directly exposed Lin Yi to the spotlight.

Everyone in the room stared at Lin Yi.

Not only that, other members of the Termination Society also rushed over upon hearing the news, eager to catch a glimpse of the Termination Emperor.

Lin Yi was somewhat surprised by this, but not entirely.

He showed up here today, fully prepared to take action himself.

If Kong Jisheng hadn't suddenly arrived, he would have already attacked Zhang Fengxiao, letting this second son of the strategist experience the feeling of being beaten back by a pawn.

To his surprise, even though the matter was already over, Zhang Fengxiao still singled him out.

What are this person's true intentions?

Fortunately, Lin Yi had disguised himself before coming, so even if he was accused of being the End Emperor, his identity would not be directly exposed.

For Tianjun, the End Emperor is one thing, but if the End Emperor is Lin Yi, that's another matter entirely.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, Lin Yi slowly walked to the center and cupped his hands in greeting to Kong Jisheng.

"Thank you for helping me out of that predicament, senior. I am very grateful."

Kong Jisheng's eyes lit up: "I have long admired your name. My Kong family thanks you for what happened to my daughter."

Kong Qianqiu then approached Lin Yi, bowed deeply to him, and stared intently at him.

"I will remember your great kindness for a thousand years and never forget it."

Lin Yi quickly returned the greeting: "You flatter me, Miss."

He felt a little strange.

Although he and the other party had a connection on that race track, strictly speaking, they had never actually met, not even a proper encounter.

While they were grateful for the kindness shown to them, it was only natural for a respectable family like the Kong family to repay such kindness.

But for some reason, Lin Yi always felt that the other person's gaze towards him carried a strange longing, or perhaps admiration.

Is it my illusion?

Lin Yi immediately reflected on himself, after all, one of the three most common illusions men have is that she likes me.

This kind of thing, etched into one's genes, is difficult to eradicate even at the highest level of strength.

It's not that I'm being self-deprecating. Kong Qianqiu is a top-notch noblewoman from a prestigious family. What kind of outstanding talents hasn't she seen? How could she possibly fall for me for no reason?
It's obvious without even thinking that they're overthinking it.

Kong Jisheng said loudly, "The doors of my Kong family are always open to you, young friend. My father said that if you are willing, he will be ready to serve you at any time."

The whole place was in an uproar.

Zhang Fengxiao's face darkened noticeably.

He went to great lengths to secure an opportunity for the other party to come and discuss philosophy, but when he arrived, he didn't need to do anything; he was immediately treated as an honored guest of the Confucius family.

The key point is that this was a personal invitation from Confucius!
Such treatment is rare even in the entire Tianjun, including the five saints of the aristocratic families combined!

Why?
Zhang Fengxiao naturally knew the outcome of the previous race, but in his eyes, that so-called favor was completely dispensable to the Kong family.

What makes them capable of alarming Confucius himself?
However, to the others, this scene, while somewhat unexpected, was not surprising.

He's the Emperor of Termination!

This would end the terrifying influence of the Great Emperor today, which is even greater than that of those Heavenly Palace bigwigs.

The members of the Termination Committee were all overjoyed.

As the undisputed core of the Ending Society, the fact that the Ending Emperor has now gained the favor of the Kong family means that he has been accepted by the mainstream of Tianjun.

In this way, the negative rumors that had been circulating in the public, such as the Heavenly Palace's impending abolition of the Termination Society, were immediately dispelled.

This is an unprecedented boon for both the End Emperor himself and the entire End Council!

"Thank you for your kindness, Confucius."

Lin Yi exchanged pleasantries with the other party for a while, and then politely saw him out.

After Kong Jisheng left, Lin Yi immediately said, "Gather all the members; I have something to announce."

Yang Qing'er's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately had a very bad premonition.

As the person directly in charge of the Termination Committee, everything that happened today was completely out of her control.

Neither Zhang Fengxiao nor Lin Yi are people she can control.

Lin Yi's appearance, in particular, caused the entire situation to spiral out of control.

The master of the Ending Council is the Ending Emperor.

This is a very basic public perception, which means that as long as the Empress herself appears in public, the power of discourse she has worked so hard to build will be instantly stripped away.

If it were just Lin Yi showing up, that would be fine.

There have been plenty of crazy people jumping out and claiming to be the End Emperor, so it's nothing new and won't cause any real stir.

But this time is different.

When Zhang Fengxiao, the second son of the strategist, pointed it out in public, Kong Jisheng acknowledged it on the spot. This is the most irrefutable evidence of its value.

Anyone who wants to question something must first answer one question.

Would Kong Jisheng be deceived in public by a swindler?

In everyone's eyes, this question doesn't need an answer at all.

As expected, once all the members had gathered, Lin Yi announced to the public: "From today onwards, all internal affairs of the Termination Association will be managed by Lü Bukui."

The whole audience was silent.

Yang Qing'er quickly stood up to object: "I've always been the one handling internal affairs. As a newcomer who has only been with the organization for a few days, I'm afraid Lü Bukui isn't up to such a heavy responsibility."

Lin Yi glanced at her: "The Termination Society has only been established for a short time, it's not time to start ranking people by seniority yet."

"Another one is Lü Bukui, who single-handedly founded the Tianjia Tea House. His abilities are obvious to all."

"I would like to make it clear that the rule of my committee is that the capable rise and the mediocre fall. No matter who is capable, I will definitely promote them out of turn."

"Vice President Yang, do you have any other questions?"

Yang Qing'er choked.

No matter how she responds, she can't get it right.

As long as she admits that Lin Yi is the End Emperor, this is an unsolvable dead end.

But if she were to publicly accuse Lin Yi of being a liar, she simply didn't have the confidence or the ability to do so; that would be slapping Kong Jisheng in the face in public!

The most crucial point is that she doesn't have any real trump cards up her sleeve.

Zhang Fengxiao was originally the most qualified actor to play the fake Emperor of the End, but it was this guy who exposed his true identity as Emperor of the End in public.

Yang Qing'er couldn't figure out what Zhang Fengxiao was planning at all.

She didn't even know if they were friend or foe.

At this moment, Li Tianguo suddenly spoke up: "If he doesn't even listen to the Emperor of Ending, what's the use of this vice president? We might as well find someone else to be the one."

With him taking the lead, a large group of people immediately echoed his sentiments.

After this period of operation, he, Cao Luoshen, and Zhao Ning have planted many spies within the Termination Society. Now, at least 30% of the members follow their lead.
