If you want to make an example of someone, you have to wield the knife yourself. But for a mere Qi Cultivation Junior Cultivator like him to go after a Foundation Establishment True Master, that would be suicidal arrogance.
However, to use his status as the Innate Daoist to order the punishment of a Dao Material from the Upper Courtyard would be a breach of decorum. It was a clear dilemma.
As his thoughts raced, Jiang Yi smiled and asked:
"Director He, what do you propose?"
He Shouzhen took a deep breath and answered with the utmost gravity:
"I ask the Daoist to strip me, Shouzhen, of my duties in Jieyun Hall, demote me to the Lower Courtyard, and expel me from the Ancestral Sect!"
Jiang Yi's eyes shifted slightly.
'What a clean and decisive way to escape the situation.'
