As soon as the military order was issued, Manxi's anger immediately dissipated, his expression changing unpredictably.
Although the grand formation is important, to him it's not as crucial as firmly holding the control of the Heavenly Domain in his hands.
After all, the Heavenly Court has said that the financial situation is only temporarily tight, and the owed salaries will be backpaid. The prepaid five-year salaries will be made up later, meaning the formation will be completed sooner or later.
So, this isn't really a problem.
Instead, the military order set by Shi Chun solved a concern that had been troubling him.
He was previously worried that using this method to dismiss Shi Chun and others would displease Xuanji Token Master Mulan Jin. Now it's clear: it's not him antagonizing Shi Chun, but Shi Chun looking for trouble himself.
