Chapter 594: Chapter 97 Jing’an Visits Wu’an
“Sir, the train has arrived.”
In the lounge, Inspector General Qu Xun from the Inspection General Office of Datong Prefecture spoke to the Garrison Commander, Bian Jingru.
Bian Jingru sighed reflectively upon hearing this and slowly stood up.
In May last year, Li Fei had made a Breakthrough from the Qi Change Stage to the Tao Foundation Stage, becoming the fastest Martial Artist in history to reach this stage and also the youngest Tao Foundation Stage Martial Artist ever.
At that ti, in Bian Jingru’s eyes, Li Fei was rely a highly gifted young man, not worthy of much attention.
Later, Shangguan Xiao was arrested, Hao Yi openly attempted to rescue the execution scene, and Xu Jing led professors and a group of top-tier lecturers to resign from Wuda, which made Bian Jingru realize that this was a ticulously planned situation from the provincial capital.
He directly submitted a report to the Central Governnt and openly broke with the provincial capital!
At this juncture, Li Fei, a student of Hao Yi, finally beca the target Bian Jingru intended to win over.
His interest in winning over Li Fei was mainly due to the Blood-faced Ghost, or rather the Green-faced Ghost King behind Li Fei.
After openly breaking with the provincial capital, he needed to unite more forces, and the Green-faced Ghost King was undoubtedly a useful weapon.
As for Li Fei himself, Bian Jingru simply felt that in a few years, Li Fei could beco a Peak power within the Tao Foundation Stage; his future was promising.
And that was all.
While the record-breaking speed was astonishing, the future held too many variables. Who knew how long it would take for Li Fei to beco a Martial Arts Master, or whether he could successfully make the Breakthrough?
And if he didn’t beco a Martial Arts Master, in the struggle between Datong Prefecture and the provincial capital, it would be hard to make a significant impact.
Now, it had been just over eight months since Bian Jingru last saw Li Fei.
In less than a year, Li Fei had transford from a promising young carp in Bian Jingru’s eyes into a mighty Jiao dragon whom even he had to look up to!
Everything was changing too rapidly!
“Let’s go.”
Bian Jingru led Qu Xun towards the door.
“Sir, do you think Marquis Jing’an might find out that I was the one who sent that book back then?”
Finally, Qu Xun couldn’t help but ask anxiously.
Back when Shangguan Xiao was imprisoned and Li Fei had broken free from confinent and traveled around, Bian Jingru hadn’t yet realized it was a ploy from the provincial capital. So, Qu Xun had soone send a book to Li Fei as a warning.
The book was titled “Tragedy of the Chosen Ones.”
It chronicled the stories of peerless talents from past dynasties who had fallen midway….
Back then, Qu Xun felt that, as the Inspector General of the Inspection General Office, warning a Wuda student with no background in such a manner was quite generous.
It was even fairly lenient, considering he had many other ways to let the person experience a ‘beating from society.’
But who could have anticipated that in the blink of an eye, the person would be ennobled right in front of the palace!
Being ennobled was one thing; at most, Qu Xun would show Li Fei more respect in the future, keeping their interactions superficial.
What truly made Qu Xun anxious was Li Fei’s identity as a Blue Patrol Envoy.
A 15th-grade Blue Patrol Envoy coming to inspect locally could directly command the local Inspection General Office.
This ant that now, with Li Fei’s arrival in Datong Prefecture, he had more authority in the Inspection General Office than Qu Xun, the Inspector General!
If he wished, Li Fei could have Qu Xun suspended and investigated with just a word!
So, naturally, Qu Xun was uneasy.
Having navigated the treacherous waters of bureaucracy for many years, he had seen the true colors of many who had risen through the ranks.
While Li Fei didn’t seem like a petty person, who could guarantee that once in power, he wouldn’t rember the past warning and want to settle scores?
Qu Xun was now only relieved that he had rely sent a book, not done anything else…
Bian Jingru glanced at Qu Xun and did not mock his unease.
A person who, not long ago, was just a 9th-level secret inspector had, overnight, bypassed two ‘Dragon Gates,’ surpassing the thresholds of an assigned official and a sitting official, to directly beco a 15th-grade official, and he also held the power of inspection, capable of altering the fates of his peers.
Who wouldn’t be confused in such a situation?
“Rest assured, he probably won’t care about these trivial matters.”
Bian Jingru offered reassurance.
Then he and Qu Xun walked together out of the lounge door, where a group of officials were already waiting.
Bian Jingru nodded, leading the group towards the platform.
As the group approached the platform, passengers who were alighting from the train cars were stunned:
The sight before them was filled with deep blue official robes, embroidered either with mountains or with birds and beasts.
This signified that all these officials held at least the position of an Imperial Official!
Dozens of officials standing in line ford an impressive, blue satin-like spectacle.
Previously, when Li Fei got off at Lingzhou Prefecture, the number of officials who ca to receive him wasn’t this large.
Only all the sitting officials of Lingzhou Prefecture had been present.
But now, all the Imperial Officials and above from Datong Prefecture were in attendance!
This was a welco for Marquis Jing’an and also a sign of reverence for the Blue Patrol Envoy!
The crowd, urged by the inspectors, quickly dispersed, and then the train doors of the car Li Fei was in slowly opened.
Lv Wenxing and others got off one by one, followed by He Jian leading his group off the train.
Everyone lined up in two rows outside the train door.
Lastly, Li Fei, clad in a dark golden robe and holding the Ghost Slash Blade, stepped out.
Bian Jingru watched this sowhat unfamiliar young man, a smile appearing on his face as he took the lead in greeting him.
Once he moved, the other officials quickly followed.
Bian Jingru stopped a few ters away from Li Fei and slightly bowed in greeting.
