The two people chatted for a few monts.
Jing Yan then asked seriously, "My lord Chief, is there any news from the Assessnt Departnt?"
Cao Lin knew what Jing Yan ant; he was inquiring about the status of his application for the Third Palace promotion assessnt.
He shook his head and said, "There hasn’t been any news conveyed yet, but based on past experience, the longest ti from applying to participating in the promotion assessnt is about a year."
"Hmm, no rush." Jing Yan nodded.
At this mont, a figure ca running quickly.
Even when this person was several hundred ters away, he was already shouting in panic, "My lord Chief! My lord Chief!"
"Those bastards are challenging us again!" This person was a mber of the Second Palace Qingmu Departnt, with a Martial Arts Cultivation at the Four-star Void God level.
"These damn things!" Cao Lin’s face turned cold, and anger flickered in his eyes.
"My lord Chief, what should we do? They’re speaking very rudely, not only calling all our Qingmu Departnt mbers trash but also saying you’re a turtle!" The Martial Artist’s voice lowered a bit as he looked at Cao Lin, but both Jing Yan and Cao Lin heard him clearly.
"Chief Cao Lin, what’s going on?" Jing Yan frowned, looking towards Cao Lin.
"It’s not really a big deal, just a group of self-righteous bastards causing trouble. Lately, they’ve been coming outside the Qingmu Departnt manor every day to provoke us." Cao Lin shook his head, a bit helplessly.
"Causing trouble?"
"Is there soone so bold that they dare cause trouble at the Qingmu Departnt manor?" Jing Yan chuckled slightly.
Although the Qingmu Departnt is relatively weak among the Ninety-nine Departnts, it is still one of the Ninety-nine Departnts. The internal mbers’ strength is relatively strong. It’s very similar to the situation in the First Palace; if the talent and strength are relatively average, ordinary Martial Artists in the Second Palace have no chance to enter the Ninety-nine Departnts. The departnts in the Second Palace also do not recruit Martial Artists over two thousand years old.
Though Jing Yan hadn’t been in the Second Palace Qingmu Departnt for long, he noticed that most mbers were Four-star Void Gods, and there were already so who had stepped into the Five-star Void God level.
"They’re people from the Water Moon Departnt, of course, they don’t regard our Qingmu Departnt." The Four-star Void God level Martial Artist said with a curl of his lips upon hearing Jing Yan’s words.
"Water Moon Departnt?" Jing Yan frowned again.
"Yes, indeed a few mbers from the Water Moon Departnt are Five-star Void Gods. One of them, Jing Yan, you should know, is Jin Guang. You participated in the selection assessnt with him; he’s ranked within the top five hundred on the Tianhua List." Cao Lin nodded and said.
"Jin Guang? He got promoted to the Second Palace too?" Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed.
"He did get promoted to the Second Palace, but a month later than you. He joined the Water Moon Departnt in the First Palace and continued with the Water Moon Departnt after advancing to the Second Palace." Cao Lin waved his hand, saying, "It’s not a big deal; they’re definitely not daring enough to intrude into the Qingmu Departnt, just making noise outside. Let them shout all they want."
Jing Yan had so understanding now.
Initially, he hadn’t thought much of it, but it seed it might have sothing to do with himself. Back in the First Palace, Jin Guang had publicly challenged him, and he refused. Perhaps Jin Guang was unwilling to accept this and now ca to provoke outside the Qingmu Departnt manor at the Second Palace.
"My lord Chief, now many people are laughing at us. Outside our Qingmu Departnt, there are at least a few thousand Second Palace Martial Artists watching." The Four-star Void God pulled a long face.
In recent tis, the mbers of the Qingmu Departnt have been unable to leave the manor. As soon as they step out, people are pointing fingers at them. Those not part of any departnt dare not mock openly, but the ones who joined departnts have no such scruples, even ridiculing Qingmu Departnt folks to their faces.
It’s indeed been quite humiliating recently.
"My lord Chief, with Water Moon Departnt mbers causing such havoc, shouldn’t the Chief of the Second Palace Water Moon Departnt intervene?" Jing Yan felt so anger too.
Setting aside the fact that this may relate to him, even if it doesn’t, Jing Yan is still a mber of the Qingmu Departnt. Seeing the Qingmu Departnt insulted, Jing Yan couldn’t just stand by.
"That old guy, Guan Zhuo..."
Cao Lin’s eyes flickered.
What he referred to as Guan Zhuo is the Chief of the Second Palace Water Moon Departnt.
"Letting them cause a ruckus indeed affects my Qingmu Departnt’s reputation. I suppose I’ll contact Guan Zhuo." Cao Lin sighed.
Actually, he didn’t want to reach out to Guan Zhuo.
With Water Moon Departnt mbers causing provocations outside Qingmu Departnt manor, Qingmu Departnt didn’t dare to respond, making it sowhat embarrassing in the first place.
Being forced with no alternative, they even had to contact the opponent’s chief to call back their people, which is even more humiliating.
But at this point, letting the situation continue seems impossible. If this goes on, the Qingmu Departnt mbers indeed can’t face leaving their manor.
With no choice, he had to put aside his pride. Cao Lin took out the Communication Crystal Stone and sent a ssage to Guan Zhuo, explaining the situation and hoping Guan Zhuo could restrain his mbers.
At the Water Moon Departnt manor.
"Heh, that old geezer Cao Lin can’t hold on anymore!" Guan Zhuo, dressed in a white robe, chuckled when he saw Cao Lin’s ssage.
"He wants to restrain mbers of the Water Moon Departnt?"
"Sigh, this old guy is really getting more brainless." Guan Zhuo shook his head.
"My lord Chief, wasn’t Cao Lin pretty smug before? That native, Jing Yan, recruited by his Qingmu Departnt, you didn’t see how smug he was, flaunting his prowess everywhere. Haha, now he should realize that even with Jing Yan, his Qingmu Departnt is still trash compared to our Water Moon Departnt," a deacon from the Water Moon Departnt said with a laugh.
"Cao Lin has indeed gotten a bit too full of himself; it’s necessary to press him down a bit." Guan Zhuo said, then sent a ssage back to Cao Lin.
Cao Lin received Guan Zhuo’s ssage imdiately.
"Chief Guan Zhuo, did the Water Moon Departnt mbers intrude into the Qingmu Departnt manor? If they did, you can take action. But if the Water Moon Departnt mbers didn’t intrude into the Qingmu Departnt manor, there’s nothing I can do! Exchange between departnt mbers is a good thing, beneficial to both sides!" Guan Zhuo apparently had no intention of restraining his mbers.
Upon seeing the ssage, Cao Lin’s old face turned completely black.
He personally reached out for communication, which was a low posture in itself, almost like admitting defeat, but still, Guan Zhuo reacted like this.
Cao Lin was so angry his body started to tremble.
The Water Moon Departnt mbers were only provoking outside the Qingmu Departnt manor, and as chief, Cao Lin obviously couldn’t go out himself to deal with those bastards.
"It seems the Water Moon Departnt Chief is condoning this event." Jing Yan laughed, his smile a bit cold.
"Chief Cao Lin, I’ll go take a look then!" Jing Yan said and began to walk outside.
