That’s why I’m so excited.
"Get up, do a good job for , and you won’t lack benefits. Also, the rebuilding of the Library Pavilion is your task now. Just like before. As for the Array, people from Great Yu will co to set it up."
Zhang Yuan had just stood up. Seeing that he was given such an important task, he almost knelt down again in gratitude.
However, Ye Jinghong waved his hand at him.
So he didn’t do it.
Zhang Yuan left the main hall, and even though he suppressed the excitent in his heart, the pride in his eyes was unmistakable.
At least from today... he could be considered a close confidant of Ye Jinghong.
"Yes, I suppose I am!"
Zhang Yuan firmly said to himself.
"Old Zhang..."
At this mont, Old Liu, whose full na is Liu Shang, and who also survived two tis of near-death from Hidden Kill, walked over.
His eyes were full of envy.
They say there’s a blessing after great difficulty. Zhang Yuan’s blessing ca, but for him, there wasn’t even a whisper of news.
"No, soon enough I should be calling you Deputy Director Zhang, right?"
"Don’t talk nonsense!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan’s face changed, and he glared at him, "I just had a few good days, don’t jinx ."
Deputy Director?
That’s sothing he never even dared to imagine.
Right now, he just wanted to do a good job for Ye Jinghong; as long as he’s happy, even if sothing small trickled down to him, he’d be satisfied.
As for climbing further up... it’s not that he wasn’t interested, it’s that his abilities wouldn’t allow it.
In this life, reaching Mid-Stage Immortal Grade was his limit.
"Look at you, don’t you know? Many people already think you’re the Deputy Director."
Indeed, Zhang Yuan quickly beca a rising star in Moran City.
He even held the power of appointnt.
Isn’t that exactly what Deputy Director is?
"Really.....!"
Zhang Yuan imdiately furrowed his brows.
"I’ve been too much in the spotlight lately, that’s not a good thing."
"I should be more low-key in the future."
"After all, my abilities are too weak."
If he had the strength of the Profound Realm, he wouldn’t think like this now.
"What’s wrong? What are you daydreaming about!"
Liu Shang patted his arm and continued, "We’ve both gone through life and death, and twice at that. You’re now a prominent figure in the Three Judicial Departnts. Don’t forget about , Old Liu."
"Co on, let’s go to my place. Today, we’ll drink till we drop."
"Alright!"
Liu Shang nodded happily.
He had wanted to visit Zhang Yuan during this ti, but he was really too busy. It was difficult to even see him.
Several tis, as he reached the gate of his mansion, seeing the line of people waiting to give gifts, he could only shake his head and leave in resignation.
...
Zhang Mansion.
The two drank until they were a bit tipsy.
Liu Shang kept drinking one glass after another. He couldn’t help it; it was all top-notch Spirit Wine. He had never drunk such good wine in his life.
"What a fine wine."
His face flushed, he couldn’t help but exclaim as he looked at his glass.
"If you like it, drink more. If not, take a few jugs ho later."
Zhang Yuan said generously.
He’s a changed man now. Thinking back to the ti when the two of them went to the brothel, they didn’t dare order drinks; the silver in their pockets was just enough to pay for won.
Thinking about it was a bit embarrassing.
"That would be too much trouble."
Liu Shang looked at him, full of envy.
"Co on, we’ve both been through life and death, why fuss over little things like that."
"Then I won’t be polite."
Since the first Hidden Kill incident, their relationship had changed; after all, they had shared life-and-death experiences.
After that, they mostly hung out together.
Ate together, went to the brothel together.
Practically like sharing the sa pair of pants.
"And... if there’s any good stuff, don’t forget about Old Liu."
Liu Shang raised his glass to him and drank it all in one go.
"Don’t worry. I’ll never forget you. I’ve just been too busy lately. You can help out in the future."
Zhang Yuan laughed.
Now it was better; there were only a few people in the Three Judicial Departnts.
Once there are more people, he definitely won’t be able to handle it all on his own. It’s good to have soone to help.
The key is that he knows Liu Shang inside out, so there’s no worry.
"Thank you very much."
"What thanks? Don’t leave tonight. Those families sent so many won; you can pick the one you like, and I’ll give her to you. They’re much prettier than those in the brothel."
Back in the day, they would take turns paying each ti they went to the brothel.
But even though they wore white robes, they had families to support, so the quality they found...was just average.
Totally couldn’t compare to the won those families sent to him.
"Really?"
Liu Shang was so excited that his voice changed, and he sobered up significantly.
"You think I don’t know how fond of won you are? Would you bear to part with them?"
He still couldn’t quite believe it.
"Bullshit!"
Zhang Yuan glanced arrogantly at him, "Do you know how many won I have now?"
Before he could respond, Zhang Yuan held up one finger.
Boasting, "Over a hundred, swapping one each night takes several months!"
"Can’t handle them all, really can’t handle them all."
He then shook his head, very displeased with his performance.
There were so many won he barely even laid eyes on so of them, seeing them once and then never again.
It’s not that he didn’t want to; Zui Rao alone drained him completely, leaving him exhausted.
"Damn, that many!"
"Aren’t you a bit... incapable?"
His eyes drifted to his brother.
"Bullshit! Incapable, ? Way better than you; didn’t I last longer than you did at the brothel?"
"Bullshit! Never happened!"
"Let’s compare tonight!"
"Bring it on!"
...
For the last bit of male pride, the two old n had a wild night.
Incapable, yes!
But stopping? Never!
