Fire Departnt Court.
The charcoal fire in the furnace is glowing red, flas lick the furnace walls, and the tea in the purple sand teapot boils, filling the air with an invigorating fragrance.
Lord Jian, holding his teacup, savors it contentedly, the flavor lingering in his mouth.
"Households Commander Bai is getting old, his attempt to break into the Heavenly Human Realm failed, and in a few more years, he should retire."
"The position of households commander being vacant, it should be promoted from within the deputy households."
"The condition is, one must enter the Fourth-Level Martial Arts."
Without reaching the Fourth-Level Martial Arts, one is not qualified to enter the Qilin Pavilion; deputy households is the limit, and the official career stops there.
Lord Jian asked himself that his talent is not inferior, not yet fifty and already at the Pure Yang Peak, only a step away from the Fourth-Level Divine Sea.
But this step is like a chasm.
He had already failed the assault three tis.
As the saying goes, poverty in literature and wealth in the military, Alchemy Pills, Cultivation Techniques, Weapons, Spiritual Marrow... Isn’t each of these obtained by spending money?
To open the Divine Sea, besides having enough intellect, a large amount of Spiritual Marrow is needed as support, each assault consus a trendous amount!
He has no backing, an ordinary family; if he wants to progress further, naturally, he needs to resort to so ans.
"I, Lord Jian, got to where I am today all on my own efforts and sweat!"
"Corrupt?"
"Not at all, I just long for advancent too much!"
Lord Jian knows there are so rumors in the Governnt, but he doesn’t care.
They are just a bunch of insignificant pawns, their value lies in being his breakthrough to the Divine Sea, stepping stones into the Qilin Pavilion!
Thud thud thud—
At this mont, there’s a knock on the door.
Lord Jian frowns slightly, the only one who would co to find him here is Qiu Longgang.
Is it about the dical expenses again?
"It’s just a minor injury, no one died, this useless person really doesn’t get it!"
"Kind-hearted and soft-handed, hard to make a big achievent!"
"Sigh, well, I’ll still need him later..."
Lord Jian took out a silver note worth a hundred taels from his sleeve, hesitated for a mont, then put it back and changed it to one worth fifty taels.
Clearing his throat, he said:
"Co in..."
Bang—
Before the words fell, the door suddenly burst open!
A tall figure strides in, the jade blade in his hand gleams brilliantly!
"You took so long to open the door, does Lord Jian have soone hidden in here?"
"Chen Mo?!"
Seeing that handso face, Lord Jian is slightly surprised, then his expression turns cold, "Barging into the court with a blade, what are you trying to do?"
Chen Mo, sitting boldly opposite, "Barging? I did knock, and Lord Jian personally let in."
Lord Jian, his gray eyes narrowing, "No need for such cheap wordplay, speak plainly."
He didn’t seek trouble with Chen Mo, but this guy actually took the initiative to co to him?
What’s he planning?
Trying to provoke him into action?
The commotion in the court caught everyone’s attention, the Assistant Officer Captains gather at the door.
Qiu Longgang squeezed through the crowd, seeing the scene, his cheeks turned pale, he hastily said, "Chen Mo, don’t be impulsive..."
Thud—
A dark light flashes, the Qilin Token nailed to the door fra.
"Who dares to interfere?"
Qiu Longgang’s steps halted, montarily at a loss.
Chen Mo looked at Lord Jian, whose face was turning gloomy, and smiled, "Since I took office, I haven’t formally visited Lord Jian, truly an oversight... By the way, what was the lord saying just now?"
Lord Jian suppressing his rage, said: "I ask you, what exactly do you want to do..."
"Fuck you!"
Roar—
The Broken Jade Blade whirled up a galaxy, Gang Qi tore through the space, and in a blink of an eye, it was slashing towards him!
So fast!
Lord Jian’s pupils reflected the blade light, hairs on end, without ti to think further, he quickly drew back!
But Chen Mo was even faster!
Electricity surged around his body, bringing with it bursts of thunder, as the blade slanted towards his chest!
Boom!
Lord Jian’s body flew backwards, crashed through the wall to the training ground, his feet plowing the ground, sliding over ten ters before stabilizing.
Clothes shredded, chest bared, the blade wound deep enough to show bone!
Chen Mo, holding the long blade, walked step by step from the gap in the wall.
Sunlight spilled on him, casting a long shadow, his handso face lifted in a smile, unspeakably bold and brazen!
"Lord Jian, do you like the greeting gift from , the officer?"
Lord Jian’s muscles twitched, stopping the bleeding, his gray eyes filled with murderous intent, "Attacking an Imperial Official, the cri is unforgivable..."
"Friendly reminder, the last person who said that to is already boneless."
"Heh, even daring to covet my silver, Lord Jian is really blinded by lard."
Chen Mo coldly uttered.
Dad is a playboy, who cares about rules?
As General, I chopped down Hundred Households; as Hundred Households, I chopped down Deputy Thousand Households, makes sense doesn’t it?
The Ding Fire Departnt is rotten to this extent, Lord Jian played no small part in it, boundlessly corrupt, causing fiscal deficits, the people below can’t even afford als, how can they diligently handle cases?
"Throw up however much you ate today!"
"Otherwise, I’ll beat it out of you!"
Roar—
The dragon unsheathes!
Lord Jian’s True Yuan swelled, and from nowhere two peculiar Weapons appeared in his hands, like two crescent moons linked together.
The Twin-Headed Axe of Ziwu!
"Asking for death!"
He roared and leapt forward to et the attack!
Clang, clang, clang—
Gray light clashed with thunder, exchanging dozens of blows in an instant, the sound of tal striking tal was teeth-gritting!
More and more Assistant Officers gathered around, staring dumbfounded at the scene.
"Hundred Households Chen just took office and is already fighting with the Deputy Thousand Households?"
"Regardless, that’s his superior, isn’t this too audacious?"
"You’ll get used to it, don’t forget, he got here by stepping over the corpse of the forr Hundred Households!"
"Hiss, that’s true..."
Li Yuan erged from the Governnt, seeing this scene, his expression shifted slightly, then turned and ran towards the Gui Water Bureau.
...
Qingfeng Building.
In the private room, Shen Shuqiu and a woman sit facing each other.
The woman has delicate features, her cheeks round, still carrying a bit of baby fat.
