Displayed the strength of the Profound Realm.
"Good, very good."
Zongzheng was quite satisfied, but he looked towards Qin Ke.
It was truly surprising to him that such an expert of the Profound Realm was recruited so quickly.
In usual cases, a white-robed person requires a period for assessnt before being promoted to a golden robe, this was the normal procedure.
Only Qin Ke, being a confidant, would be an exception.
However, if this happens too often, the other golden robes in the Three Judicial Departnts might have complaints.
As for now... Of course, Chen Xuan will be promoted to a golden robe imdiately.
After all, their brothers will be leaving Molan Mansion soon, so if he doesn’t use the deputy director’s privilege now, when will he?
"From today onwards, you are a golden robe of the Three Judicial Departnts, Qin Ke will handle all subsequent procedures."
"You should really thank Qin Ke, without his recomndation, you would still need a long assessnt period."
The credit should naturally go to Qin Ke now.
"Thank you, sir, I understand. In the future, if there’s anything Qin Jinyi needs, I will not delay."
While saying this, he felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.
He even thought, if Zongzheng knew about his relationship with Qin Ke, would it make him so angry that he’d die on the spot!
"Good!"
Zongzheng nodded slightly, "You may leave now."
"Yes!"
Chen Xuan and his companion replied in unison, then left the place.
"Qin Ke is only slightly lacking in strength, otherwise he’s not worse than you in other aspects."
At this mont, Zong Peng’s voice echoed in the main hall.
"Big brother, you’ve finished your seclusion?"
Zongzheng was quite surprised, as it usually takes at least half a year, sotis one or two years, and this ti it was only a few months?
"My realm has completely stabilized, there’s no need for further seclusion."
Zong Peng said calmly.
After reaching the Dao Realm, cultivation beca exceedingly difficult, with almost no progress in these past few months.
Moreover, it made him irritable.
Forcing seclusion would not only bring no benefit, but could also lead to ntal instability, so he might as well co out for a breath of fresh air.
"Has it started?"
They had been deeply entrenched in Molan Mansion for many years, so the wealth they had amassed was astonishing, all of which needed to be dealt with in advance.
What couldn’t be dealt with needed to be kept in a safe place.
"Rest assured, brother, handling began even before the Ritual Departnt’s ratings were issued, and most of it has been dealt with, the rest should be about done these days."
A lot of these were the grey incos their brothers had accumulated over the years.
They couldn’t rely solely on what Great Yu provided, or they would have starved long ago.
"Hmm!"
Zong Peng nodded, his brother wasn’t good at cultivation, but when it ca to handling affairs, he was unparalleled.
At least better than himself.
"Then report Qin Ke’s na to Great Yu, let him begin taking over the Three Judicial Departnts, and focus seriously on your cultivation!"
"Got it, brother."
That’s how he planned it, he had been stuck at the Mid-Stage Profound Realm for many years.
But ever since he took the Cold Jade Pill from his brother last ti, he felt so loosening in his realm, intending to push through this period and breakthrough to the Late-Stage Profound Realm.
"Sigh, I wonder if Qin Ke can take over that position."
Zong Peng muttered softly.
"Brother’s referring to... the new king of Molan Mansion?"
Zongzheng imdiately understood his brother’s aning.
The Crane King had been sent to the Imperial City by his brother, and now Molan Mansion was without a master, but it had been long enough that the new king should appear soon.
When the ti cos, Great Yu will certainly ask for the new king’s opinion, and that... would truly be troubleso.
"So we must act quickly, preferably before the new king is announced."
"Understood!"
They had done everything they could, now it was up to fate.
...
After leaving the Three Judicial Departnts, Chen Xuan and Qin Ke arrived at the tavern.
In the room at the top level.
Qin Ke brewed tea, "Master, are we not being sowhat unkind with our actions?"
To be honest, Zongzheng had been kind to him.
Although he was only loyal on the surface, he did everything he was supposed to do.
Otherwise, Zongzheng wouldn’t have utilized him like this.
No one is a fool!
"What’s unkind about it? We’re rely showing him your capabilities. Gaining an expert of the Profound Realm so quickly can put him more at ease."
Even though Zongzheng intended for him to assu the position.
But until it’s reported to Great Yu, there are variables, so Qin Ke decided to give it a push, which is why he and Chen Xuan put on such a play.
"Indeed!"
Qin Ke nodded with a smile, as the tea was well-brewed.
"Master, please have so tea."
He respectfully placed it in front of Chen Xuan.
"Oh?"
Chen Xuan murmured as he noticed the tea was red, and asked, "What kind of tea is this?"
"Disciple doesn’t know either, but it’s a thousand years old, having tried it, it’s very different."
This tea was a gift from Jiang Qi.
He only ntioned it had a refreshing and invigorating effect, nothing more.
Chen Xuan sniffed it, a faint fragrance.
Then he sipped it slightly, the scalding tea flowing down his throat made his expression sowhat peculiar.
A rather strong sensation.
But refreshing, making him feel instantly more alert.
"Does Master find this tea different from usual?"
Qin Ke asked with a smile.
He had the sa experience when he first drank it, feeling a surge of energy.
In the next mont, he felt much more at ease.
"Hmm, this tea is quite interesting."
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, though it was only novel; it had no other effects.
"By the way, Master, Jiang Qi has been visiting a lot lately, and this tea was his gift."
"Anxious?"
Chen Xuan asked with a smile.
"Anxious, but the elder from Dark Moon should be even more so."
