The Empress sent her to the Southern Border just to vent her discontent, not expecting her to actually treat it as a serious task.
Although this woman has a sowhat peculiar personality, one must admit, her loyalty to Her Majesty the Consort is absolute.
"Mr. Luo, you overpraise . It's just my duty," Ye Zi'e said nonchalantly.
As the Earth Master Thousand Households leader, being absent from duty for so long naturally requires an account to the higher-ups.
Moreover, this is not sothing to be kept in the dark. After reporting to the Imperial Consort, she outlined the details to the governnt office.
Luo Huaijin said, "The high command is very concerned about the Gu God Sect, especially Yin Tiankou, whose thods are quite insidious. To prevent him from continuing to harm the people, we must eradicate him completely."
"No one understands the situation in the Southern Border better than Households Commander Ye, and it's only fitting for you to handle this matter."
?
Ye Zi'e was taken aback and pointed at her own nose, "You're asking to kill Yin Tiankou?"
"That's right." Luo Huaijin nodded, "The higher-ups have ordered that Yin Tiankou must die."
"Did I fail to make myself clear in the docunt?" Ye Zi'e said irritably, "That guy has a Grandmaster Realm elder protecting him, and I'm just a Fourth Rank. Are you sending to my death?"
"Moreover, I've just returned to the Capital City for two days, and now you're sending out again as if I'm so livestock!"
Luo Huaijin repeated, "I've said it's the order from the top."
"Which top? I'll personally go find them!" Ye Zi'e grew more infuriated, slamming the table and standing up, "I refuse to believe that in a vast Qilin Pavilion, there's no place for reasoning!"
"It's the command from Mr. Commander, you should go." Luo Huaijin said calmly.
"..."
Ye Zi'e's expression froze.
She then quietly sat back down, slumping her head without a word.
Luo Huaijin said, "Rest assured, we won't let you go to your death in vain. Although they have a Grandmaster, the Northern Town Patrol Departnt also has experts... Right, Mr. Chen?"
"Huh?"
Chen Mo, who was watching the commotion, was suddenly nad and didn't know how to react.
"If I rember correctly, Mr. Chen has also had run-ins with the Gu God Sect and is very familiar with their tricks. It's most appropriate for you two to team up for this task." Luo Huaijin said.
Chen Mo ca to his senses, his brows furrowing.
He had just been promoted to Thousand Households, hadn't even settled in, and was already being sent to the Southern Border?
It seed to be the decision of the Commander, the highest figure in the Sky Scale Guard, who would issue such a personal order for sothing so trivial?
Was it really targeting the Gu God Sect, or was it aid at him?
Despite his many doubts, since things had been said this way, there was clearly no room for negotiation, and since Luo Huaijin treated him well, he couldn't rebut him publicly.
"I will comply with the order." Chen Mo responded, cupping his hands.
Luo Huaijin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, giving Chen Mo a grateful look.
He was rely the ssenger, and given the opponent's background, if he had to stand his ground, it would be difficult to be stuck in the middle.
"You don't have to rush imdiately. You can make sure to settle your current affairs before setting off."
"That's all, everyone can disperse now."
With that, he got up and left.
The rest also dispersed one after another.
The Commander's arrangent surprised them, and before fully understanding the situation, they were in no hurry to get close to Chen Mo.
Soon, only Ye Zi'e, Yun He, and Chen Mo were left in the room.
Ye Zi'e slumped in her chair, her eyes vacant, as though all strength had left her.
Yun He frowned, speaking in a deep voice, "Mr. Chen, do you have a conflict with the Commander?"
Chen Mo shook his head, "I've never even t him, where would the conflict co from?"
The Heavenly Qilin Guard Commander Wei Xuan, as the head of this enormous organization, held a transcendent position, almost like a taboo, with even his na rarely dared to be ntioned.
Nonetheless, Wei Xuan was always low-key, rarely ddling in political affairs, with even the internal affairs of the Qilin Pavilion in a semi-hands-off mode.
This sudden order, therefore, seed especially peculiar.
"That's indeed strange." Yun He mused, puzzled, "Generally, when soone is newly appointed, they should at least be given so ti to familiarize themselves with the job. Since when do they imdiately send them to the Southern Border?"
"It's probably just because I'm the most suitable choice." Chen Mo said with a bitter smile, "It can't be that Mr. Wei doesn't like and is deliberately targeting , right?"
"That's unlikely." Yun He shook his head, "If the Commander really wanted to target you, he could do it in a hundred ways without a trace, without making it so blatant."
"Never mind, overthinking is pointless. The Gu God Sect needs to be eradicated sooner or later, doing it ourselves is more reassuring." Chen Mo turned to look at Ye Zi'e, asking, "Households Commander Ye, when do we set off?"
Ye Zi'e remained silent, suddenly getting up and heading towards the door.
Yun He hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to report to Her Majesty! This is too much bullying!" Ye Zi'e replied without looking back.
Yun He and Chen Mo exchanged a glance, their expressions helpless.
Even the Imperial Consort would find it difficult to intervene in the internal affairs of the Qilin Pavilion, let alone change the Commander's decision.
"Households Commander Ye is eccentric and thinks differently from others. Mr. Chen, it's best to be cautious when traveling with her."
"I'm aware..."
Nobody had more say in this than Chen Mo.
With previous experiences, he was even considering whether to wear an iron undergarnt.
Exiting the Book Pavilion, after parting ways with Yun He, Chen Mo was just about to head downstairs when he suddenly bumped into soone at the corner.
"Mr. Shi, you haven't left yet?" Chen Mo asked, puzzled.
Shi Jingxuan pulled a smile, saying, "I've been waiting for you, Mr. Chen."
