The Seventh Base - Chapter 934: 17: Noted

Chapter 934: Chapter 17: Noted

Gao Hong was still waiting for the recommendation slots to be issued for participation eligibility, and Xu Mo and his group also arrived.

Regarding this selection for the Mystic God Temple, he was full of anticipation, hoping Xu Mo could deliver a surprise, so his efforts wouldn’t be in vain. He had placed quite a bit of hope on Xu Mo.

“I didn’t expect Saye would be secured by our Tis Palace. This way, Tis Palace’s competitiveness has strengthened a bit.” Currently, the entire Tis Palace was discussing it, and Gao Hong naturally knew about Saye’s situation. He looked towards Xu Mo and said, “If you can shine, then Tis Palace will surely gain more face.”

Unbeknownst to Gao Hong, he was still happy for Tis Palace.

He hadn’t thought much about the recommendation slots, after all, they were already confirmed. Even if Saye took one slot, the most they would do is make a slot available from those selected later.

Therefore, Gao Hong hadn’t considered the possibility of being deprived of slots.

But at that moment, Gao Hong received a phone call; someone from Tis Palace was looking for him.

“I’ll step out for a moment,” Gao Hong said, then left the area. Xu Mo and his group didn’t think much of it, waiting patiently. They had also prepared a lot for the Mystic God Temple matter, now nearing the selection.

At another location, after receiving the news, Gao Hong’s face suddenly turned ashen: “What does this mean?”

“Gao Hong, please understand this matter, Saye is a genius we at Tis Palace fought hard to secure. He holds strategic significance, for which we paid a significant price. A few slots will be compensated next year,” the elder’s assistant said to Gao Hong, “This time, you need to sacrifice a bit.”

“Sacrifice a bit?” Gao Hong said coldly, “Three slots, can’t they be drawn from anywhere else? Even using our own Tis Palace slots would do. This isn’t just my personal sacrifice but also concerns Tis Palace’s reputation.”

Xu Mo and his group didn’t belong to Tis Palace, the two parties had a sort of cooperative relationship. But at this critical moment, to cancel Xu Mo and his group’s slots wasn’t just his personal sacrifice; it was an insult to Xu Mo and his group.

Now was precisely the time when all the major Transcendent forces were submitting their recommendation slots. In other words, today was the final confirmation date. They had already promised Xu Mo, and canceling their eligibility at this point would make Xu Mo and his group miss this year’s selection.

This matter was entirely unreasonable. Broadly speaking, if it became a big issue, it might even affect Tis Palace’s reputation. Of course, such small matters wouldn’t attract much external attention and couldn’t realistically impact Tis Palace’s reputation.

“Gao Hong, let me speak frankly. This time securing Saye, Roso contributed some effort,” the elder’s assistant said, “For this matter, you’re somewhat wronged, but the elder’s side will find a way to make it up to you later.”

Upon hearing this, how could Gao Hong not understand that Roso had tricked him?

He never expected that Roso’s personal grudge against him would play out in such a matter.

“I want to see the elder,” Gao Hong said, then stepped forward and left.

“Gao Hong, seeing the elder is meaningless; the matter is already settled,” Elder Hollen’s assistant caught up, but at this moment, Gao Hong wouldn’t listen to him, continuing forward.

This matter, not to mention his considerable effort, even if not, he couldn’t explain it to Xu Mo.

A promise changed at the last moment, causing Xu Mo and his group to miss the Mystic God Temple selection — how could he face anyone?

No face to show.

Besides, Xu Mo was not without strength; no matter where he went, he could obtain a recommendation slot. But to be treated like this by Tis Palace, who wouldn’t swallow this insult?

Hollen and the others were no longer discussing this matter in the reception room.

For them, it was a small matter; once decided, they would merely follow through. At this moment, he was chatting with Saye about some powerful Transcendents from other top forces, all holding some intelligence on each other.

Just then, the door was pushed open from outside, and someone barged in.

“Mr. Gao Hong, the elder is having a meeting.” Someone tried to stop him but saw Gao Hong charged in like an enraged beast, hair and beard flaring, loudly shouting, “Elder Hollen.”

Hollen frowned, appearing somewhat displeased.

Roso glanced at the intruding Gao Hong with a cold smile, it seemed Gao Hong was truly agitated.

He wanted to see if Gao Hong had the guts to confront Elder Hollen head-on.

He knew very well that in front of Saye, this matter couldn’t be changed.

“Why cancel my three recommendation slots?” Gao Hong said.

“Gao Hong,” Hollen raised his brow, “mind your behavior, the matter of the slots is under my consideration.”

“Consideration?” Gao Hong glanced at Roso, his gaze icy, exuding an imposing aura, as if he might battle Roso at any moment.

“Elder Hollen, among those I recommended, there are two with quite strong capabilities. They surely can enter the Mystic God Temple, or even shine brightly. Could you reconsider and switch a few people?” At this point, Gao Hong knew that talking about anything else was useless. He could only mention Xu Mo’s strength, hoping it would make Hollen reconsider.

Hollen felt somewhat displeased hearing Gao Hong’s words, thinking they might lose good candidates. But this matter was already decided, and changing it would cause further disturbances.
