Just like before.
Jing Yan had already noticed that Li Qiujie, the manager, was deliberately making things difficult for i Qing, but he only intended to take i Qing away from here. However, Li Qiujie refused to let it go.
"Oh, I guess I was right, the two of you really have sothing going on. Tsk tsk, you have quite the guts, daring to be so bold in front of . i Qing, you’re quite sothing, sneaking around with so wild man. I don’t care if you find so wild man, but bringing him into the archives to ss around? That’s not acceptable." Li Qiujie heard Jing Yan call her despicable, and her anger flared up, making her speak even more unpleasantly.
"Manager Li Qiujie, how can you say that?" i Qing’s face turned slightly pale.
"Outrageous! Li Qiujie, you’ve gone too far, and you’ll pay for your words and actions," Jing Yan’s expression turned completely dark, and he said in a deep voice.
Jing Yan could ignore Li Qiujie’s mocking remarks towards himself. But insulting i Qing made Jing Yan truly angry. This matter wouldn’t be easily forgiven.
"Lord Steward!"
At this mont, a few more people walked in from outside with various expressions.
Jing Yan glanced over them and understood that these people were probably all staff mbers from the archives room. They must have been nearby, perhaps in the room next door, and ca in after hearing the commotion.
Seeing this situation, Jing Yan’s anger grew even stronger.
This Li Qiujie was definitely targeting i Qing deliberately. There were already as many as six staff mbers present in the archives room. Li Qiujie made everyone else leave, leaving i Qing to do the work of six people alone.
Indeed, this was truly the case.
Li Qiujie was clearly targeting i Qing.
As for why she targeted i Qing, it seems to have so connection to Jing Yan.
When Elder Bao Tong first arranged for i Qing to join, Li Qiujie was quite favorable towards i Qing, even sowhat trying to win her over, mistakenly thinking Elder Bao Tong was i Qing’s backing. Through subtle hints, she learned that i Qing was not acquainted with Elder Bao Tong. Elder Bao Tong arranged a position for i Qing in the archives on soone else’s behalf.
After understanding this, Li Qiujie beca less enthusiastic towards i Qing. However, she didn’t deliberately target i Qing, as those who could speak with Elder Bao Tong weren’t soone she could casually provoke. Without reason, she wouldn’t provoke such people.
But as ti passed, Li Qiujie gradually realized that the person behind i Qing had never co to see her. i Qing worked day-in and day-out in the archives without any involvent with others. So, the relationship between that person and i Qing probably wasn’t very close either.
This made her increasingly upset, rembering her attempts to please i Qing, which made her feel very uncomfortable. Seeing i Qing made her heart burn with anger.
Moreover, i Qing’s beautiful appearance was top-notch in the Luo Jiu Divine Palace’s First Palace. Not to ntion other places, even within the archives, there were so younger male martial artists who frequently expressed admiration for i Qing openly and covertly.
Li Qiujie grew jealous and increasingly showed a hostile attitude towards i Qing.
Especially in recent tis, she intensified her behavior.
Because she wanted to arrange for soone to enter the archives. But with six people working there, it wasn’t easy for her to casually put soone in given her ability. However, if she could squeeze out one of the six people from the archives, she could easily replace them with her own person.
She set her sights on i Qing.
What Jing Yan saw today was indeed Li Qiujie calling the other five people away, leaving only i Qing working in the archives room. Li Qiujie ca from the adjoining room upon hearing Jing Yan and i Qing’s voices to see what was happening.
"Regret?"
"Kid, aren’t you afraid of the wind flipping your tongue!"
"Alright! I don’t know if I’ll regret it now, but I do know you’ll regret it soon." Li Qiujie arrogantly looked at Jing Yan.
"i Qing, you’ve violated the rules of the personnel departnt’s archives by bringing outsiders in without authorization. Despite my advice, you remain unrepentant. I will report your situation to the elder, and you’ll face punishnt! Hmph, I fear you won’t be able to work here anymore." Li Qiujie said coldly.
The personnel departnt, another room.
"What?"
"Jing Yan is here? Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?" Elder Bao Tong’s expression changed upon hearing the report from the steward.
"Absolutely no mistake, I saw Lord Jing Yan over a hundred years ago, and he hasn’t changed at all since then." The steward said confidently.
"Hmm, then it should be correct. You ntioned Jing Yan went to the archives? What is he doing at the archives? Oh, right, I rember, there’s soone nad i Qing there who has a special relationship with Jing Yan." Bao Tong snapped his fingers on his forehead, "I will head to the archives now, you go and tell the Lord Minister this news."
Jing Yan’s identity was far too exceptional. In front of soone like Jing Yan, the personnel departnt of the First Palace was several levels lower. Even if the minister personally ca forward, they would have to be very respectful.
"Yes!" The steward responded and went to find the personnel departnt head.
anwhile, Elder Bao Tong hurried towards the archives.
Swish!
In the archives room, just as Li Qiujie was running her mouth, Bao Tong quickly entered.
After entering the archives, Bao Tong’s gaze quickly swept over everyone present and finally landed on Jing Yan, whereupon his face imdiately broke into a smile.
Jing Yan also saw Bao Tong.
Jing Yan had a good impression of Bao Tong. When he first registered, Bao Tong was the person in charge. Plus, there were so subsequent matters, which made Jing Yan feel sowhat indebted to Bao Tong.
"Elder Bao Tong!" Jing Yan took the initiative to greet with a cupped fist.
Li Qiujie’s brows furrowed.
This young man actually knew Elder Bao Tong? What is going on?
"Lord Jing Yan!" Bao Tong saw Jing Yan taking the initiative to greet him, quickly bowed slightly, and then deeply bent forward in salutation to Jing Yan.
When Jing Yan had just entered the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, Bao Tong’s rank was certainly above Jing Yan’s. But now, their statuses had completely switched. Jing Yan was a mber of the Qingmu Departnt in the Seventh Palace, and it was said that even the Palace Master regards Jing Yan highly. In terms of power, Jing Yan was at the True God realm, whereas Bao Tong was rely a high-level Void God.
Thus, no matter the comparison, he couldn’t maintain a high posture in front of Jing Yan.
What Bao Tong said and his actions were very natural.
But seeing this, hearing this, Li Qiujie was truly shocked.
"What’s going on?"
"Why is Elder Bao Tong bowing to this young man? And bowing deeply! Even for the Lord Minister, it’s not this extre!" Li Qiujie thought in a panic, feeling sowhat stunned.
