According to reason, slaying Ji-level demons and being promoted to Second-Class Contributor would not be too much.
However, Chen Mo was an auxiliary personnel, and one also had to consider the thoughts of the Qilin Pavilion, as one cannot break the rules. Heavenly Rank Martial Technique and high-grade Spiritual Pill were enough to compensate.
Elder Ling lay lazily in the rocking chair, saying, "Do as you see fit."
Suddenly, his expression beca a little startled, and with so surprise he said, "Hmm? That girl actually knows to co back?"
With a casual gesture, the void rippled, and a moon white Daoist robe floated in midair.
"Ning Zhi, you’ve returned."
Yuan Junfeng said with a smile.
"Uncle Yuan, long ti no see." Ling Ningzhi nodded slightly, then looked at the old man in the rocking chair, smiled, and said, "Grandfather, have you missed ?"
Elder Ling snorted coldly, "Do you still have , your grandfather, in your heart? I thought you had long forgotten this old man!"
Ling Ningzhi moved closer, squatted beside Elder Ling, and hugged his arm lovingly, her cool voice carrying a few playful tones, "I could forget anyone, but I’d never forget Grandpa. Isn’t it just that the sect is strict, not allowing casual trips down the mountain? Please don’t be mad at Zhi’er, all right?"
Her sweet coaxing lted Elder Ling’s heart until there wasn’t a trace of resentnt left, but he still stubbornly said, "I don’t know what’s so good about the Tianshu Pavilion. If you want to learn Daoist Skills, can’t I teach you? You insist on taking that madwoman as your master."
Ling Ningzhi chuckled and didn’t respond, instead she asked, "What were you discussing just now?"
Yuan Junfeng replied, "Recently, Elder Ling has taken a fancy to a young man, talking about him non-stop. He’s quite interested."
"Oh?"
Ling Ningzhi was sowhat curious.
She knew very well how high her grandfather’s standards were. Even a Heavenly Pride from the Cloud Top Ranking seed diocre to him.
"For Grandpa to take a liking, it must be a prodigy... Innate Taoist Body?"
Yuan Junfeng shook his head and said, "It’s a martial cultivator."
Ling Ningzhi was stunned upon hearing this, "A martial cultivator?"
"This fellow does have so capabilities."
Yuan Junfeng briefly recounted Chen Mo’s deeds over the past period.
When hearing about Chen Mo’s demon-slaying at Hengjiang Ridge, saving the contributor from the mouth of the Demon Tree, Ling Ningzhi’s brows lifted, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Could it be him?"
*Thoughts crossed Ling Ningzhi’s mind* as she asked, "Is this Chen Mo part of the Sky Scale Guard?"
Yuan Junfeng nodded, "He’s with the Heavenly Qilin Guard Ding Huo Division Hundred Households."
*Ling Ningzhi secretly noted it down, saying nothing more.*
"You rascal, how long do you plan to stay this ti?" Elder Ling asked.
Ling Ningzhi rested her head on the old man’s shoulder and said, "Grandpa, as long as you want Zhi’er to stay, Zhi’er will stay."
"Hmph, I wouldn’t dare hinder your cultivation, or else that madwoman would co causing trouble again."
Though Elder Ling said this, the smile on his face was unmistakable.
"Master is not mad, just unconventional."
"Hehe, unconventional madwoman."
"..."
...
...
Ding Fire Departnt Office, inner room.
Li Yuan sat on the bed in a duck-sitting posture. The black underwear supported her large chest, and the black silk covering her long legs was in tatters. Marks stained her fair skin.
She panted slightly, cheeks flushed, her expression full of reproach.
"You rascal, do you intend to wear out completely?"
*Having been apart for several days, the man was like a bull, relentless. Even with her martial cultivator physique, she simply couldn’t endure...* Azure Dragon tamorphosis greatly enhanced Chen Mo’s physique, coupled with Dong Xuanzi’s support, his combat power exploded. Chen Mo said seriously, "Under the hazel rod, great talents erge. My intentions are good, you should learn gratitude."
"..."
Li Yuan rolled her eyes at him.
This man was spouting nonsense again with such seriousness.
Bang—
Her chest trembled, sending ripples.
"Do you understand?"
"...This officer understands, thank you, Mr. Chen, for your guidance...♡o(╥﹏╥)o♡♡~"
...
After finishing instructing his subordinate, Chen Mo left the governnt office.
Suddenly, he was involved with the Demon Suppression Departnt, gaining a sacrificial identity. It was necessary to report the situation to the Empress.
Before that, he planned to first go to Jinxiu Workshop to retrieve clothes previously ordered... Delayed for too long, if not "offering" them soon, the Busty Empress would surely cause trouble!
To avoid social embarrassnt, he donned the Concealing Ring and White Bone Mask.
Just after stepping out of the gate, his peripheral vision caught a fleeting figure, sowhat familiar.
Chen Mo didn’t mind it, mounted his horse, and left Huai Zhen Fang.
...
Li Yuan dressed up and cald her breath, just as she arrived at the front hall, a colonel quickly entered.
"General Li, a Daoist nun has co outside holding a Demon Suppression Departnt’s command letter, requesting to see Mr. Chen," the colonel said.
"A Daoist nun?"
Li Yuan was taken aback.
*When did the Demon Suppression Departnt turn into a Taoist temple?*
"Let her in."
"Yes."
The colonel withdrew.
Monts later, a moon white Daoist robe gracefully appeared.
Her face seed shrouded with a cloud, indistinct, her bearing transcendent, like untouched by the world.
"Who might you be?"
"I am Qingxuan, seeking an audience with Mr. Chen." Ling Ningzhi perford a Daoist salute.
"Mr. Chen has left, he’s not at the governnt office. What matter do you seek him for?" Li Yuan asked.
"Not here?"
Ling Ningzhi furrowed her brow slightly and said, "It’s nothing urgent... How long until Mr. Chen returns?"
Li Yuan shook her head and said, "That I’m not sure of."
Chen Mo was completely hands-off. When tasks arose, a general would handle them. When there were none, he’d idle. Often, his whereabouts were unknown all day.
"Then I will visit next ti."
Before leaving, Ling Ningzhi glanced at Li Yuan, secretively shaking her head.
*Her face blooming, eyes filled with spring ardor, it looked like she’d just experienced a passionate affair?*
*This was the public governnt; did Sky Scale Guard’s conduct beco this open? Could it be that with Chen Mo absent, they dared to be so bold?*
